I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 676: Chapter 499: Evolution Points Exceed One Hundred Million, Entering the Treasury

In front of the Gate of Space, two figures stood side by side.

Like a black tide, the demonic creatures surged from the edge of the ice field. Their roars shook the ice layers on the ground, cracking them, and the demonic qi filled the cold wind, almost blocking out the daylight.

”With your abilities, can you completely seal this gate after entering?”

Before Ji Taiyan finished speaking, his right fist had already gathered dazzling dragon flames.

”Holy Dragon Fist!”

A golden dragon’s phantom roared as it shot out, and where the dragon claw swept, the front row of demonic creatures was instantly crushed into meat paste, a rain of black and purple blood mixed with broken bones splattering on the ice.

Qin Tian traced the energy patterns on the Gate of Space with his fingertips, feeling the flowing space laws within, and nodded confidently: ”I can.”

”Great! I’ll leave this to you.”

Ji Taiyan didn’t hesitate for a moment. He flipped his dragon spear and smashed it down, shattering the head of a Tier Seven demon that lunged at him. Then he leaped up, his bright yellow silhouette shooting into the Gate of Space like an arrow, leaving only a message echoing in the wind, ”Finish it quickly.”

In an instant, only Qin Tian remained on the vast ice field, facing a demonic army that flooded the sky like a plague of locusts.

Numbering nearly a million, they swarmed from all directions, turning the horizon into a gray-black mass.

”Finally, everyone’s gone.”

Qin Tian’s lips curled slightly as he raised his hand. The crimson Heaven-Burning Purgatory Cannon appeared out of thin air, its barrel engraved with demon patterns that glowed with an eerie light under the infusion of Spiritual Energy. The scorching heat began melting the snowflakes around him.

”Buzz——”

The Spiritual Energy around him fluctuated violently, and a dozen Demon King Avatars identical to him appeared, all wielding long knives, forming a moving steel defense line that charged towards the tide of demonic creatures.

”Hold on, buy me some charging time!”

”Hey hey hey, are you crazy?”

A small demon’s head suddenly popped out of the cannon’s muzzle. Blaze clung to the barrel, swinging its tail, its ruby-like eyes wide and round. ”You could just shut the gate and leave, why insist on fighting these pests to the bitter end? When did you develop a killing addiction?”

Qin Tian placed his palm on the barrel, Spiritual Energy pouring in like a tide, the crimson light at the muzzle growing ever brighter: ”Lan’s race and home were destroyed by these creatures. I’m his friend, so I have to help him get some interest back.”

The crimson fire at the cannon’s muzzle blossomed, its intense heat spreading along the barrel, causing the ice below to sizzle and melt, rising into a white mist.

The roars of the million demonic creatures were within reach. The Demon King Avatars were being torn apart by the mob, one by one exploding into points of Spiritual Energy light, but Qin Tian’s gaze remained calm.

”Avenge a friend...” Blaze scratched its chin with a paw, then excitement sparked in its eyes. ”That’s a good enough reason! But with just the two of us, can we really kill this million-strong army?”

”We kill as many as we can.” Qin Tian watched as the last avatar was ripped apart by the creatures, while the Heaven-Burning Purgatory Cannon’s muzzle had gathered a huge crimson light mass, the energy fluctuation causing the space to slightly distort.

A smile curved his lips, ”Blaze, are you ready?”

”Of course!” Blaze plunged into the barrel, its voice full of excitement, ”This time, let’s have a blast!”

Qin Tian raised his hand, aiming the muzzle at the densest part of the demonic horde, the cold wind lifting his robe, his gaze sharp as a knife.

”Fire!”

As the calm command fell, the demon patterns on the barrel suddenly lit up, and the crimson light mass exploded—

Celestial Destiny Critical Strike—Fivefold Critical Strike triggered!

Boom!

A pillar of crimson fire as thick as a barrel surged forth like an unchained scarlet dragon, carrying a world-shattering might as it pierced through the sky and the ice field, directly striking the core of the demonic army’s densest area.

Upon impact, there was no expected earth-shaking boom, only a scorched impact point left on the ice.
