I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

“What’s going on?”
Huang Yuhui and his four teammates looked at the purple crystal wall above their heads, their eyes filled with shock and terror.
“Run, quick, and rendezvous with Fu Ning and the others!”
Huang Yuhui shouted, and the four of them, no longer bothering with Lei Yao, rushed at top speed towards the agreed-upon location for the four teams.
Half a minute after they left, the “Ghost” examiner suddenly appeared, his scarlet eyes gazing into the distance, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
Perfect, to catch you all in one fell swoop.
On the dark street, a shriveled corpse lay among shattered bricks and stones. Footsteps echoed from the shadows, and a tall figure slowly emerged from behind a broken wall.
Qin Tian stepped over the scattered debris, stopping before the corpse.
He lowered his gaze to the disfigured body—Lei Yao, once a formidable Five-Star Genius, now lay so tragically dead.
Qin Tian sighed softly, knelt on one knee, and ran his fingers over the twisted face, finally resting them on the bulging eyeballs. A cold sensation touched his fingertips, and he gently closed the eyes that had refused to shut even in death.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
An orange light orb flew towards him, merging into his body. This was Lei Yao’s golden bloodline—Destruction Heavenly Lightning. While the Destruction Heavenly Lightning was integrating into his body, Qin Tian immediately merged the Destruction Heavenly Lightning with his Purple Firmament Lightning Body. Soon, a new talent emerged.
【Name】Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning (Orange)
【Type】Composite Talent
【Introduction】Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning contains the supreme divine power to slay evil and exterminate demons. Once this lightning is unleashed, all evil is dispelled, and demons are brought to their knees. It is the most unyielding and positive power of judgment between heaven and earth, possessing the following abilities:
1. Slay Evil and Exterminate Demons: Deals 1000% additional damage to dark-type enemies such as evil spirits, demons, and specters.

2. Heavenly Punishment Judgment: When lightning strikes an enemy, it applies a layer of 【Heavenly Punishment Mark】. When the marks stack to five layers, they can be detonated, dealing 30% of the target’s lost health as true damage.
3. Immune to All Lightning: Lightning resistance is increased to 1200%, completely immune to lightning-based negative statuses; other elemental resistances are increased by 60%, significantly reducing elemental damage taken. When attacked, there is a 30% chance to trigger 【Divine Lightning Bodyguard】, negating 50% of the damage and reflecting 70% of the damage taken back to the attacker.
Crack, crack, crack~
Qin Tian’s bones suddenly crackled like popping beans, and each vertebra glowed with dazzling purple-gold lightning patterns. His pupils completely transformed into two swirling lightning storm vortices, and his hair stood on end, crackling with purple-gold electric arcs.
Profound lightning dao patterns appeared on his skin, these patterns moving like living things across his body. Each breath brought forth countless lightning snakes dancing around him.
Most astonishingly, a fist-sized Lightning Core had condensed in his heart, continuously spewing liquid-like lightning essence with each beat.
The Nine Nether Lightning Radiance Art automatically activated, and the spiritual energy within him surged wildly through his meridians like ignited lightning fire.
In his Dantian Qi Sea, the originally calm spiritual liquid now transformed into a raging lightning plasma vortex, each rotation erupting with deafening thunder. Purple-gold spiritual flames, almost solid, spewed from his seven orifices, and the air within three meters of him twisted and deformed due to energy overload.
“Boom—!”
As the first torrent of spiritual energy broke through, fine lightning arcs shot from all of Qin Tian’s pores. His aura climbed steadily, his spiritual energy surging at a visible rate, and three hundred and sixty major acupoints within him lit up consecutively, outlining a complete Zhou Tian Star Map on his body like stars.
When the energy accumulated to a critical point, Qin Tian let out a long roar to the sky, and a ten-meter-diameter lightning pillar shot upwards, striking the purple crystal wall. His spiritual energy level broke through with unstoppable momentum, finally stabilizing at the Fourth-Tier Five-Star realm.
Just then, the “Ghost” suddenly turned to look, gazing at the lightning pillar that shot ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) up in the distance, his brow furrowing slightly beneath his mask.
That location—
He stopped, pondered for a moment, but still proceeded with his original plan.
As for the person behind him, he would die by his hand sooner or later.
“Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning.”
Qin Tian clenched his fist, and dark purple lightning suddenly erupted.
The Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning was far more powerful than the previous Purple Firmament Divine Lightning. This was a huge leap in rank, reflected in its damage, burst power, lightning control, lightning resistance, and all other aspects.
Compared to physique-type talents like the Night Demon King or Great Wilderness Battle Body, Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning focused more on offensive power. Its extreme lightning destructive power, combined with the true damage of the Heavenly Punishment Mark, elevated his attack ceiling by another level.
When seven layers of Overlord Blade Intent were added to five layers of Heavenly Punishment Mark, and then combined with Heaven’s Mandate Strike, this damage was enough to threaten a Sixth-Tier expert.
Currently, the 【Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning】 was a medium orange color, even darker than the 【Great Wilderness Battle Body】, making it the fifth orange talent he had mastered.
With the lightning retracted into his body, Qin Tian looked towards the distant Blood God Sect, or rather, the Blood Demon Sect. He had heard of this organization before, but he never expected the Blood Demon Sect to infiltrate the Talent War, disguised as an examiner. He had to admit, the Oriental Family was truly too careless this time.
Now, more than half the city was enveloped by the purple crystal wall and exiled into the void. For a while, the Oriental Family’s rescue certainly couldn’t be relied upon.
And since the “Ghost” dared to face a dozen geniuses alone, it meant he must have hidden his strength or made thorough preparations, confident in taking down these geniuses.
On this matter, Qin Tian could not stand idly by.
Publicly, the Blood Demon Sect was a great enemy of the empire, an organization wanted throughout the entire empire. As a colonel, he had a responsibility to eliminate members of this evil organization.
Privately, if the Blood Demon Sect succeeded in massacring the geniuses, with only him left in the entire city, he would also be hard-pressed to escape death.
Click~
Hidden Kill was retrieved from space and landed in his palm.
Qin Tian gripped the gun stock, the familiar feeling of control once again surging through his heart.
A gun is still easier to use. Wings unfolded from his back, just as he was about to take flight, a surge of excited consciousness came from Jiela on his wrist. Whoosh~
The vines emitted a soft green glow, and Jiela detached from his wrist, growing rapidly, instantly transforming into a thousand-meter-long vine, like a swimming snake, heading straight for the purple crystal wall.
Crack! The top of Jiela touched the purple crystal wall. The next moment, the tip transformed into a drill, easily penetrating deep into the purple crystal wall, then frantically devouring the energy within the crystal wall.
“So good! So good!”
Jiela transmitted a joyful and exhilarating consciousness to Qin Tian.
It can absorb this too?
Qin Tian raised an eyebrow. Absorbing the energy from the purple crystal wall was certainly a good thing for Jiela, but if the purple crystal wall were destroyed, could this city still exist in the spatial turbulence?
However, Qin Tian couldn't think too much about that now. Intense battle fluctuations were already coming from a corner of the city. The geniuses had engaged the “Ghost,” and he also needed to rush there quickly to lend a hand.
Qin Tian gave Jiela a quick instruction, then his wings vibrated, and he flew towards the distance.
