I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 424: Chapter 363: Spatial Passage, The Coming Final Battle (Part 2)

The adjutant thought carefully and nodded repeatedly: “There’s indeed a possibility!”​

“In that case, inform Chief Zhuge and let them calculate if the location where the space-time portal opens is in the Infernal Demon Sea,” the Major General ordered.

If there’s no clue, it would take several people from the Zhuge family collaborating to calculate one or two locations out of thousands of possibilities, consuming time and effort, and perhaps not figuring it out before the decisive battle.

But if given a specific location, they only need to calculate “yes” or “no,” and can quickly provide an answer. ​

“Alright, I’ll go right away!” said the adjutant, quickly running out of the tent. ​

One hour, two hours, three hours…​

Just as the Major General was about to lose hope, the adjutant suddenly burst in, his face brimming with uncontrollable excitement: “The results are out! It’s the Infernal Demon Sea!”​

It really is!​

A surge of joy instantly filled the Major General’s heart.

Each time the first layer of the Demon Abyss opens, there are three space-time portals. Now that one is locked, there’s enough time to calculate the other two.

This time, perhaps all three portal locations can be deduced. ​

If so, the forces from the ten battle zones can be deployed in advance, fully prepared to block the space-time portals. ​

One move, and the whole board is alive. ​

The battle report from the Chijin Battlegroup is indeed timely and invaluable!​

…

Chijin Battlegroup

“A first-class personal merit?”

Qin Tian looked at the report, with surprise and delight appearing in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected that his intelligence was so valuable that it directly earned him a first-class personal merit from the Military Department.

With this first-class merit, his rank of Major General has become rock solid and adds a solid credential for aspiring to become a General.

“Boss, the space-time portal will open within the Infernal Demon Sea.”

Li Qi asked, “What should we do next to prepare in advance?”

Qin Tian smiled faintly: “We’ve done more than enough, leave the rest to the other battlegroups. Others should have the opportunity to perform and achieve merit.”

According to the notice from the division headquarters, in the coming days, all battlegroups from the second, fourth, and sixth battle zones will successively arrive at the Infernal Demon Sea to clear out all demon caves, demonic qi fissures, and demon sources in the area.

The aim is to eliminate over ninety percent of the demons within the Infernal Demon Sea before the space-time portal opens.

In this way, when the portal opens, the Military Department can block it without pressure; even if demons from other demon realms sense its opening, they won’t be able to arrive before the blockage.

“Understood.” Li Qi nodded, then smiled, “So we can completely relax now.”

“Indeed, just waiting for the battle to end and then go home for a vacation.”

A smile appeared on Qin Tian’s face. Although his strength had seen a leap in growth during the days at the Demon Suppression Abyss, with many talents gained and the successful awakening of his Holy Bloodline, the long and almost uninterrupted fighting inevitably left him physically and mentally exhausted.

He now looked forward to the early end of the battle, to have a good rest afterward, and then prepare to push into Tier Six.

That day, dozens of battlegroups arrived at the Infernal Demon Sea, and on the second and third days, hundreds of battlegroups in total arrived.

The demons within the Infernal Demon Sea were in for great misfortune.

Millions of Spiritualists flattened all demon caves in the Infernal Demon Sea like a bulldozer, even the most troublesome demon sources were destroyed through the combined efforts of the battlegroups.

A week later, it was difficult to see any demon figures within the Infernal Demon Sea.

At this point, all battlegroups quietly awaited.

On the twelfth morning, the sky over the Infernal Demon Sea suddenly rippled strangely. ​

Initially, it was just a minimal disturbance, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, spreading invisible circles of ripples.

The warriors standing ready only felt the light in front of them slightly warp, and a faint buzzing sound was heard, as if something was tearing through space. ​

“It’s coming!” Qin Tian suddenly looked up, a flash of seriousness in his eyes.

He could clearly feel that familiar spatial fluctuation growing at an astonishing speed, stronger than anything he had sensed before. ​

Within moments, the sky’s ripples expanded rapidly, with previously imperceptible ripples becoming clearly visible like a transparent web being stretched.

The air began to quake violently, small rocks on the ground levitated without cause, and even the spewing lava from the volcanoes momentarily halted. ​

“Boom——!” ​

A deafening crash echoed throughout the Infernal Demon Sea, the space at the center of the sky suddenly collapsed, forming a black dot.

That black dot expanded at a visible speed, with its edge flickering with purplish-black arcs, producing a sizzling sound. ​

As the black dot expanded, the surrounding space began to twist and spin, forming a massive vortex.

The vortex’s diameter quickly grew from tens of meters to hundreds and thousands of meters, like a giant beast in the void opening its bloodthirsty maw.

Inside was pitch-black, bottomless, with occasional light flashes from rocks being swallowed and burnt from friction. ​

When the vortex reached a diameter of ten thousand meters, the expansion started to slow down.

At this moment, the space-time portal was fully formed, like a giant black hole suspended over the Infernal Demon Sea, surrounded by layers of space folds, constantly devouring nearby light and energy. ​
