NOVEL NEXT chapter 426 - Golden Talent—Void Divine Lord (Three-in-One)
Three days later, with a whoosh, as the last Dimensional Creature was pierced by the Void Blade, Qin Tian waved his hand, instructing Zyra to dispose of the corpses of the hundreds of Dimensional Creatures.
He glanced at the System Panel, a smile appearing on his face.
After half a month of hard work and accumulation, his Evolution Points finally reached 50 million.
"What is it? Why are you so happy?"
Dongfang Mingyue flew over from the distance, and seeing the smile on Qin Tian's face, she couldn't help but ask with a laugh.
"I suddenly had a moment of enlightenment just now. I feel like I'm about to make a breakthrough in the Dao of Space."
Qin Tian couldn't explain the reason for the upcoming Bloodline Evolution, so he found another pretext.
"Really? That's wonderful!"
Hearing this, a look of intense pleasant surprise appeared on Dongfang Mingyue's face. She knew very well that whether they could leave the Subspace depended solely on Qin Tian's spatial abilities. Now that Qin Tian was about to make a breakthrough in the Dao of Space, it meant their hope of returning home had increased significantly.
"Mingyue, I'm going to try to break through. Please step back a bit."
Qin Tian couldn't guarantee whether he could truly find a Constant Energy Anchor Point or tear open the spatial barrier to return to the Universe after the Bloodline Breakthrough, but this path was definitely feasible.
If the newly broken-through Golden Talent wasn't enough, he would continue hunting to strengthen his talent until the talent was reinforced to Mid-Golden,
Deep-Golden, or even higher levels, at which point he would definitely achieve this goal.
"Alright, be careful."
Dongfang Mingyue cautioned him. The Subspace was unlike the Universe; the energy here was unstable, filled with energy currents and rampant Subspace energy. Moreover, breakthroughs usually required a quiet and stable environment. Therefore, attempting a breakthrough now carried a certain danger for Qin Tian, but the circumstances forced them to do so.
Dongfang Mingyue retreated a certain distance, and Zyra was also by her side. The two of them guarded Qin Tian together.
Qin Tian looked at the System Panel. Without hesitation, he directly allocated all 50 million Evolution Points to 【Void Dominator】.
The light sphere's color rapidly deepened from Mid-Orange, transitioning to Deep-Orange in the blink of an eye, like silk dyed with ink. Immediately after, tiny golden sparks appeared within the Deep-Orange halo. In just a few breaths, the entire light sphere completely transformed into a brilliant gold.
Boom!
In that instant, Qin Tian felt a tremendous Spatial Power erupt from within him, surging wildly through his limbs and bones like a rushing river. This Spatial Power carried extremely strong "tearing properties," and the moment it entered his meridians, it began a rough and thorough transformation of his body.
"Ugh—"
Qin Tian couldn't help but groan, his brows tightly furrowed.
He could clearly feel his bones being repeatedly tempered by the Spatial Power. Silver spatial patterns began to emerge on the surface of his originally hard bones. The formation of every pattern was accompanied by bone-piercing pain, as if countless fine knives were cutting and reshaping the inside of his bones.
Following this, the Spatial Power infiltrated his meridians. His originally wide meridians were forcibly broadened, and a layer of silver film covered the walls. The film shimmered faintly, increasing the speed of subsequent energy flow by several times.
The most painful part was the transformation of his flesh and blood.
The silver Void Power was like tiny needles, drilling into every inch of muscle and every cell, forcibly changing the cell structure so that it could bear even stronger Spatial Power.
Fine blood droplets appeared on Qin Tian's skin, and the muscles beneath his skin violently writhed. He felt as if his entire body had been thrown into a Spatial Meat Grinder; every breath brought tearing pain.
He clenched his jaw tightly, his hands balled into fists, nails digging deep into his palms, yet he never let out a single cry of pain. He knew this was the necessary path to breaking through to the Golden Talent; only by enduring the physical transformation could he truly master even stronger Spatial Power.
Dongfang Mingyue, watching from a distance, felt her heart clench. She wanted to step forward and offer treatment, but she suppressed the urge. She could sense that although the Spatial Power within Qin Tian was ferocious, it remained within a controllable range. This was a normal process of metamorphosis, and outside interference would only interrupt the transformation.
Dongfang Mingyue could only tightly clench her fists, watching Qin Tian nervously and silently praying for him.
After an unknown amount of time, when the last wisp of Spatial Power merged into Qin Tian's heart, the blood droplets on his skin were suddenly sucked back into his body by an invisible force. The gruesome wounds rapidly healed, and the muscles beneath his skin stopped writhing, replaced by a feeling of tautness filled with power.
Qin Tian slowly opened his eyes. His originally pitch-black pupils now flowed with silver Void light. Everywhere his gaze fell, the chaotic energy of the Subspace became clear and transparent in his sight. He could even see the spatial nodes hidden deep within the energy current. The laws of space, once difficult to capture, were now clearly presented in his perception, like an unfolded map.
He slightly raised his hand. With a gentle flick of the silver Void Power coiled around his fingertip, a small Spatial Rift extended into the distance. Wherever it passed, the chaotic energy automatically parted, forming a straight passage.
"Buzz—!"
In the next moment, terrifying Spatial Power suddenly erupted around him.
Countless silver Spatial Rifts appeared out of thin air, centered around him, like blooming silver flowers. The edges of the rifts flashed with cold spatial blade light. Even the chaotic energy of the Subspace that approached was instantly cut into nothingness.
Even more astonishingly, wisps of silver Void Power overflowed from the rifts, coiling around Qin Tian as if alive, forming a layer of flowing silver armor on his body. Complex spatial patterns appeared on the surface of the armor, each pattern slightly flickering, seemingly containing the operational laws of the Universe Space.
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a Divine King controlling the Void. ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) The spatial pressure emanating from him made even Zyra, standing far away, feel intense pressure and danger.
"This is—the saint blood level Void Talent."
Qin Tian felt the surging Spatial Power within him. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly as he looked at the System Panel.
The orange 【Void Dominator】 had already evolved into the new Golden Talent: 【Name】 Void Divine Lord (Gold)
【Type】 Active Talent 【Description】 You embody the origin of the void, comprehending every fluctuation in the endless Void. You wield the laws of space, controlling any Void Power as easily as moving a limb. A single thought can fix spatial coordinates; a single thought can shatter the Void Barrier, making you the Lord of the Void who walks among the myriad heavens. Abilities are as follows:
1. Void Roaming: Break the boundary between reality and the Void, allowing free travel through any space. A thought can open a stable Spatial Passage, crossing star seas as easily as strolling in a courtyard.
3. Void Banishment: Forcibly tear the space surrounding the target and throw them into the Eternal Void乱流, allowing them to drift and perish in endless nothingness.
4. Void Imprint: Inscribe a Void Imprint on any location or item. This imprint allows for long-distance precise teleportation, greatly reducing the consumption of space traversal.
5. Void Empowerment: Temper objects with Void Power, enabling them to bear the laws of space, thus creating supreme treasures containing spatial characteristics.
6. Void Dominion: Possess absolute pressure over all Void Creatures. Low-level Void Creatures will instinctively submit, and high-level Void Creatures will also have their combat power weakened. You can forcibly conscript Void Creatures for your own use.
"Void Divine Lord~"
Qin Tian murmured softly. The silver Void Power coiled around his fingertip flowed according to his will, transforming into tiny light particles that dispersed into the air. From this concise talent name, he clearly felt the supreme pressure rushing toward him.
The two characters "Divine Lord" were absolutely no exaggeration; they were the best interpretation of his current mastery over the laws of space.
He could clearly perceive that the power flowing through his transformed bones and meridians was homologous to the origin of the void. With just a thought, he could trigger the resonance of the surrounding space. This sense of control was far stronger than the previous 【Void Dominator】, by more than one dimension.
Not only that, but his skills also underwent a fundamental change.
Void Roaming is a combination of Void Walk and Spatial Passage, belonging to the movement type. However, whether in terms of teleportation distance, concealment, or suddenness, it far surpassed what was previously comparable.
Void Divine Domain and Void Banishment complemented each other, combining multiple functions like control, strangulation, and banishment, allowing for both offense and defense.
Just by looking at the description of Void Imprint, Qin Tian understood that this new ability could be entirely applied to constructing ultra-long-distance Spatial Passages.
As his strength increased, he might even be able to leave Void Imprints on important planets of the Empire in the future. This would allow him to travel freely between major planets, eliminating the need to take a spaceship. If this ability were commercialized—
Forget it. If he really did that, he would be stepping on too many toes. For now, he should just let his own people use it.
Void Empowerment is a Divine Skill for creating man-made Spatial Equipment.
One must know that within the Empire, only a small number of people could possess Spatial Equipment. Even the genius Alchemist Dongfang Mingyue's Space Ring could only hold one Medicine Cauldron.
But now, relying on Void Empowerment, he could mass-produce Spatial Equipment with large internal spaces. He could also manufacture Spatial Stones or Spatial Arrays used for ultra-long-distance teleportation.
As for the last ability, Void Dominion, the absolute suppression of Void Creatures, it was not needed currently. But if the Void were to make a comeback in the future, this talent would truly be of great use.
Not far away, Dongfang Mingyue watched the changes happening to Qin Tian, her pupils slightly constricted, her face filled with unconcealed shock.
Qin Tian exuded a majesty that seemed "above space." Even the flowing chaotic energy of the Subspace subconsciously steered clear of the three-foot radius around him, as if in awe of this Void Power.
What startled her even more was that the saint blood of the Dongfang Family within her body began to boil uncontrollably at this moment, an instinctive dread emanating from the depths of her bloodline.
“Could Qin Tian’s bloodline also be a saint blood?” Dongfang Mingyue’s heart was in turmoil; however, among the Nine Great Saint Bloodlines, there had never been a “Spatial Saint Bloodline” that controlled the laws of space.
What exactly was the origin of Qin Tian’s bloodline?
How many secrets was he still hiding?
Countless questions swirled in her mind, but just then, Qin Tian turned around and slowly walked towards her. Dongfang Mingyue swallowed the questions that had been on the tip of her tongue.
She knew that if Qin Tian wanted to tell her, he would naturally speak up; if he didn't want to mention it, even asking would not yield an answer.
“Congratulations, Qin Tian.” Dongfang Mingyue composed herself, a sincere smile appearing on her face, while the shock and doubt in her eyes were subtly hidden.
Zyra, beside them, also excitedly swayed her vines, her main vine gently brushing against Qin Tian’s arm, conveying feelings of joy.
Qin Tian’s fingertips lightly stroked Zyra’s vines. When he looked up at Dongfang Mingyue, a bright smile bloomed in his eyes: “Mingyue, we’re leaving this cursed place.”
After the Void Divine Lord awakened, Subspace, in his eyes, shed its chaotic cloak. The intertwined energy currents transformed into clear silver lines, and the entire Subspace was like a three-dimensional star map spread before him, every fold and crease completely visible.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mingyue’s eyes instantly sparkled with brilliant light.
She understood Qin Tian’s character; if he wasn't absolutely certain, he would never speak with such conviction. The anxiety that had accumulated for days suddenly dissipated, replaced by an indescribable excitement, and even her breathing became lighter: “You mean, we can go back now?
.
“Come with me.”
Qin Tian extended his hand, and Dongfang Mingyue, with almost no hesitation, placed her hand in his. The chaotic energy current of Subspace always made holding hands a norm; from the initial slight tremor when their fingertips first touched, to now, their palms touching had become quite natural.
Zyra’s vines gently tightened, winding up Qin Tian’s arm and shrinking into a vibrant green adornment on his wrist.
With a slight thought from Qin Tian, silver Void Power instantly enveloped the two of them. The surrounding scenery abruptly distorted, and the next second, they had already appeared a hundred miles away.
“Constant Energy Anchor Point, found it!
“6
Half a day later, Qin Tian stopped in an area that appeared empty, his eyes glinting with a silver shimmer.
Dongfang Mingyue looked at the calm chaotic energy current before them and couldn't help but turn to him, a hint of confusion in her eyes: “There’s… nothing here?”
“It’s hidden in the interlayer of a Spatial Rift, invisible to the naked eye.” Qin Tian explained with a smile, his fingertips tracing through the Void, leaving a trail of tiny silver sparks. “You either rely on a Subspace Engine to forcibly capture the coordinates, or you have to do what I do and directly lock onto it with spatial perception.”
However, even a Void Dominator, comparable to a Golden Bloodline, couldn't perceive a Constant Energy Anchor Point without a Subspace Navigation Map. Therefore, throughout the entire Empire, he was probably the only one who could achieve this by personal power alone.
“Step back a little.”
“Okay!”
Dongfang Mingyue retreated a short distance, watching Qin Tian with a mix of nervousness and anticipation.
Qin Tian took a deep breath, and the silver light around him suddenly intensified. He slowly spread his arms, palms facing each other, and majestic spiritual energy surged out like a bursting river, converging before him into a rotating silver orb of light.
Inside the orb, countless tiny Spatial Rifts rapidly formed and collapsed, emitting a harsh “hissing” sound.
“Buzz—
“6
With a dull hum, the silver orb of light suddenly exploded, transforming into a silver net tens of meters wide, sweeping towards the Void ahead.
The moment the light net touched the Void, the previously empty area suddenly rippled, and a faint blue membrane, about ten meters in diameter, slowly emerged. Fine energy patterns flowed across its surface—it was precisely the Constant Energy Anchor Point.
“Next, comes the real challenge.”
A vein throbbed slightly on Qin Tian’s forehead, and his tone became a bit more solemn. He pressed his hands down, pouring all his spiritual energy unreservedly into the Void Power. The silver light net suddenly tightened, firmly “biting” into the faint blue membrane, attempting to tear open a gap.
However, the membrane’s resilience far exceeded expectations.
Each tear was like contending with the laws of the entire space. The countershock force traveled back through the light net into Qin Tian’s body, causing his blood and qi to churn.
In just a moment, fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, sliding down his jawline, and the speed of his spiritual energy consumption was astonishingly fast, causing the silver light around him to dim slightly.
Dongfang Mingyue nervously clenched her fists, her palms sweating. She could clearly feel the violent fluctuations of spiritual energy within Qin Tian, a state of giving his all.
She dared not go forward to disturb him, only holding her breath, watching helplessly as the tiny cracks torn open on the membrane closed again and again.
Seeing that the spatial barrier could not be torn open for a long time, Qin Tian gritted his teeth, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of vital blood, imbued with Void Divine Power, sprayed onto the Void in front of him. The moment the vital blood touched the silver light net, it transformed into pure origin of the void, increasing the power of the light net by thirty percent.
“Open—for me!”
Accompanied by a low shout, Qin Tian suddenly pulled his hands apart. The faint blue membrane vibrated violently, spiderweb-like cracks appearing on its surface, and finally, with a harsh tearing sound, a ten-foot-wide rift was forcibly torn open.
On the other side of the rift, a brilliant galaxy was faintly visible—that was the light of the Main Universe!
Qin Tian panted heavily, his face slightly pale, but his eyes burned with excited flames. He grabbed Dongfang Mingyue with a backhand, pulling her to his side, his voice carrying a hint of excitement: “Let’s go!”
Before his words finished, their figures had already leaped into the Spatial Rift. Behind them, the rift rapidly contracted and closed under the influence of Subspace laws, as if it had never appeared.
Vast Star River. Suddenly, the starry sky rippled, and a rift tore open out of thin air. Two somewhat disheveled figures tumbled out of it—they were Qin Tian and Dongfang Mingyue.
“Finally out.”
Qin Tian steadied himself, looking at the tranquil starry sky around him, letting out a long sigh of relief. His tense shoulders slowly relaxed, and a smile of relief after escaping danger appeared on his face.
Traveling from Subspace to the Main Universe was tens of times more dangerous than ordinary spatial teleportation—one had to pass through a seemingly stable but actually branched Spatial Passage. A slight mistake in choosing the direction would lead to falling into an even more violent Void乱流, with no hope of escape.
Fortunately, the Void Divine Lord’s talent granted him absolute control over space, allowing him to firmly lock onto the Main Universe’s coordinates all the way, preventing him from getting lost in the chaotic passage.
Dongfang Mingyue tightly held Qin Tian’s hand, her palm still sweating, while Zyra had already unfurled her vines, releasing a layer of faint green energy shield that steadily enveloped the two of them.
The vacuum environment of space was still fatal for Five-Stage Psionicists; without protection, Dongfang Mingyue could not survive.
At this moment, as she gazed at the familiar galaxy, the anxiety, fear, and unease that had accumulated in her heart for over half a month suddenly dissipated, and her eyes instantly welled up.
“If only everyone could come back,” she murmured softly, the figures of the star moon vessel members appearing in her mind. The tragic scene of the Subspace Storm flashed again, and the joy and excitement were instantly diluted, her tone full of wistfulness.
Qin Tian could clearly feel the complexity of her emotions. He squeezed her hand a little harder, holding it tighter.
“Qin Tian, I’m fine.” Dongfang Mingyue sniffled, forcing herself to put away her sadness. When she turned to look at him, her eyes were bright again: “Thank you for saving me so many times.”
During the Subspace Storm, if Qin Tian hadn't fought to the point of losing consciousness to protect her, she would never have survived.
And afterwards, although she believed in Qin Tian, she never would have thought that he could lead her out of Subspace in just half a month.
This was something difficult even for Eighth-Order and Ninth-Order non-spatial Spiritual Energy Users, yet Qin Tian, a Sixth-Order Spiritual Energy Practitioner, had accomplished it.
If this were known to the outside world, it would definitely cause a sensation throughout the entire Empire.
“Protecting you is my duty, no need to be polite,” Qin Tian said softly.
Dongfang Mingyue, however, looked at him steadily, her gaze clear: “Is it just because of the mission?”
Qin Tian met her gaze, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: “Not just because of the mission, but also because you are my friend.”
“Friend—” Dongfang Mingyue repeated the two words softly, a hint of undetectable disappointment flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly hidden. She knew very well what kind of predicament she would face next, and how terrifying her enemies were. She didn’t want to drag Qin Tian into this dangerous vortex.
A friend, then. A friend is also good.
Qin Tian noticed the subtle atmosphere, flipped his palm, and took out two silver-gray intelligent bracelets from the Yin Space.
Their previous communication devices had long been destroyed in the Subspace Storm. Just returning to the Main Universe, they neither knew their location nor the time that had passed in the outside world. Fortunately, the Yin Space stored many backup devices.
“You actually have backup intelligent bracelets!”
Dongfang Mingyue’s eyes instantly lit up, and she said with surprise.
She didn't know how long she had been in Subspace, but it was definitely far beyond the planned time. With the star moon vessel missing for so long, her brother and Xiao Yu must be frantic.
Qin Tian nodded, handing one of the bracelets to her.
The two activated their bracelets simultaneously. The blue light of the homepage lit up, quickly connecting to the StarNet.
The first thing they checked was the time, but when the numbers on the screen came into view, both of them froze simultaneously—half a month in Subspace had actually been three full months in the real Universe.
