I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 422 - Void Blade's Evolution Points Surge



Deep within the Subspace, next to a turbulent energy stream, thousands of dimensional creatures gathered like migrating ants.
Some were shaped like floating shadows, their bodies entwined with eerie green energy tendrils, moving silently; others had segmented bodies covered in bone spurs, eight compound eyes glinting with bloodthirsty red light, and mouths constantly dripping corrosive slime; there were also translucent energy aggregates, with chaotic air currents churning within them, and a faint sound of spatial tearing could be heard when approached.
Among this group of dimensional creatures, three six-tier dimensional leaders, exuding terrifying auras, were particularly conspicuous:
The leader, "Bone Spur Tyrant," was the size of a small mountain, its body covered in dark purple thick armor, with over a dozen sharp bone spurs protruding from its back. Each bone spur's tip was surrounded by black spatial rifts, and its breathing alone could cause violent fluctuations in the surrounding energy flow.
To its left, the "Shadow Soul Eater" was a constantly twisting black mist, from which hundreds of scarlet eyes occasionally emerged, capable of silently devouring the souls of living beings.
To its right, the "Chaos Aggregate" was the most bizarre; it had no fixed form, sometimes transforming into flowing magma-like substance, and other times splitting into countless tiny energy particles. The chaotic energy it emitted was enough to corrode high-tier psionic shields.
At this moment, this group of dimensional creatures was freely swimming in the energy stream, guided by the Bone Spur Tyrant.
Whenever they encountered dense energy clouds, they would swarm them, enveloping the clouds and greedily absorbing the energy within.
If they encountered other scattered low-tier dimensional creatures, they would also unhesitatingly attack, tearing them apart and devouring them to plunder more energy and strengthen themselves.
Suddenly, the Bone Spur Tyrant stopped, its massive head slightly raised, its nose constantly sniffing the surrounding aura—it sensed a continuous energy cloud belt stretching for dozens of miles not far ahead, where the energy concentration far exceeded any area it had encountered before.
It immediately let out an excited roar, its voice shaking the surrounding energy flow into ripples, then it charged towards the energy cloud belt, with thousands of dimensional creatures following behind it like a tide.
Upon entering the energy cloud belt, the dimensional creatures completely fell into a frenzy, diving into the dark purple clouds and greedily absorbing the energy.
The clouds churned violently, and countless tiny energy light points flickered within the cloud belt, creating a chaotic scene ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) filled with a primal aura of predation.
Just then, a figure, like a ghost merged with darkness, silently infiltrated the energy cloud belt—it was Qin Tian.

He utilized his Subspace Dimensional Body talent to perfectly mimic the aura of dimensional creatures, his body surrounded by fluctuations of the same origin as the surrounding chaotic energy. Even when dimensional creatures passed by him, they did not detect any anomaly.
Qin Tian held a black-purple short blade condensed with dimensional energy, his sharp gaze sweeping over the surrounding dimensional creatures.
He did not rush to act but patiently waited for the opportune moment. Only when he was surrounded by dense low-tier dimensional creatures did he suddenly launch an attack—the short blade, like lightning tearing through darkness, rapidly weaved through the clouds, and faint "thump, thump, thump" tearing sounds continuously echoed.
Dimensional creatures touched by the short blade instantly dissipated into energy light points, not even having time to let out a scream.
Initially, the chaotic clouds covered the traces of death, and no dimensional creatures noticed anything unusual; but as time passed, more and more dimensional creatures dissipated in the cloud belt, and the dissipation of their auras finally attracted the attention of the dimensional leaders.
"Roar—!"
The Bone Spur Tyrant was the first to sense something was wrong. It abruptly stopped absorbing energy, its huge head turning towards an empty area, a hint of fury flashing in its eyes.
It immediately released a strong energy fluctuation, like an invisible shockwave, instantly shaking away the surrounding energy clouds—the purple clouds that had obscured vision completely dispersed, and a tall figure holding a short blade appeared prominently before all the dimensional creatures.
Qin Tian looked at the three enraged six-tier dimensional leaders in front of him, as well as the thousands of covetous dimensional creatures around them. Not only did he show no fear, but a cold arc even appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After experiencing the Subspace storm, his physique had significantly improved. Even if he let go of his psionic energy and let them attack, these few six-tier dimensional creatures couldn't break his defense, and as for those small fry, they couldn't even tickle him.
Buzz~
The short blade in his hand, condensed from the interweaving of dimensional energy and Void power, suddenly elongated, emitting a dazzling black-purple light. The space around the blade's body slightly twisted—this temporarily condensed weapon, due to the integration of the Subspace Dimensional Body's power, had a natural restraint on dimensional creatures, and each attack could cause additional dimensional tearing damage.
Whoosh! Qin Tian's figure suddenly vanished from its original spot. The 150% movement speed bonus brought by the Subspace Dimensional Body, combined with the spatial flicker ability of the Void Dominator, made his movement as elusive as a ghost, somewhat resembling Kassadin's void-traveling artistry.
The next second, he appeared behind the "Bone Spur Tyrant."
The Bone Spur Tyrant was about to turn and attack, but Qin Tian's movements were more than twice as fast—the Void Blade, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, precisely pierced the Bone Spur Tyrant's thick skull. Black Void power surged in along the blade, instantly shredding its brain nerves.
The Bone Spur Tyrant's massive body stiffened in place, the red light in its eyes rapidly dissipated, and then it crashed to the ground.
"Second one."
Qin Tian's figure flickered again, instantly appearing before the "Shadow Soul Eater."
The Shadow Soul Eater was about to unleash a soul impact, but Qin Tian anticipated it—he condensed a Void Barrier with his left hand, blocking the opponent's attack, and with his right hand, the Void Blade swept horizontally, directly cleaving its black mist-like body in half.
The power of dimensional tearing instantly devoured the Shadow Soul Eater's core. It let out a silent wail, then dissipated in the Subspace.
The remaining "Chaos Aggregate," seeing its companions successively killed, turned to split and escape.
But how could Qin Tian give it a chance?
Black-purple light flickered at his fingertips, and a Void Chain instantly shot out, coiling around the Chaos Aggregate's body, forcefully restraining its tendency to split. He then teleported in front of it, the Void Blade thrusting directly into its core, and the dual burst of dimensional and Void power completely annihilated the Chaos Aggregate's energy origin.
In just a few breaths, all three six-tier dimensional leaders were killed by Qin Tian.
Seeing this, the thousands of low-tier dimensional creatures around them were filled with fear and immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
However, how could Qin Tian let the evolution points he had obtained escape?
Boom!
The next moment, black flames immediately ignited on many dimensional creatures, and then, the black flames spread outwards, covering all dimensional creatures not long after.
The Devouring Soul Flame not only possessed extreme high temperature but could also directly burn the soul origin of dimensional creatures.
The low-tier dimensional creatures let out painful roars, one after another. Some tried to extinguish the flames with energy impacts, while others frantically fled, but no matter how they struggled, the Soul Flame clung to them like maggots to bone, constantly devouring their life and energy.
The black flames spread through the energy cloud belt, like a small purgatory. Before long, thousands of dimensional creatures were all incinerated by the Soul Flame.
Dozens more new talent light spheres flew into his body. Qin Tian glanced at them and threw them all into the Talent Recycling Station.
Then, his gaze turned to the system panel.
His evolution points had impressively reached 45 million.
