I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 650: Chapter 487: 6th Tier 9-Star, Leaving the Treasury

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

Zhuge Yu sat cross-legged on the edge of the Spirit Pool, looking at Qin Tian, who was still immersed in cultivation in the pool, with a heart full of emotion: “Could this guy be planning to leverage the Spirit Pool and Divine Light to break through to Tier Seven in one go?”

Next to him, Taishi Feng and Huo Yuansheng focused on Qin Tian, their expressions complex.

In these ten days, the three of them had basked under the Divine Light of the statue, frantically absorbing the pure energy of the Spirit Pool, resulting in an explosive growth in their strength.

Zhuge Yu started from Tier Six, Three Stars, and made rapid progress, directly breaking through to Tier Six, Six Stars, while his physique and foundation were solidified under the nourishment of the Divine Light, without the common issue of instability after consecutive breakthroughs.

Taishi Feng and Huo Yuansheng, already at Tier Six, Eight Stars, made a single leap to Tier Six, Nine Stars, only a step away from Tier Seven.

Actually, the energy in the Spirit Pool was beyond imagination, enough for both of them to attempt breaking through to Tier Seven. However, between Tier Six and Tier Seven lies a life-and-death trial with an extremely high fatality rate—the Celestial Human Three Tribulations.

The Celestial Thunder Tribulation strikes the flesh, the Body Burning Tribulation refines the soul, and the Heart Demon Tribulation erodes the will.

These three tribulations hang over every Tier Six Spiritualist like a sword. Whether you’re an ordinary spiritualist or a bloodline spiritualist with extraordinary talent, there is no escape.

In fact, the stronger your strength and the higher your bloodline, the more terrifying the tribulation power when crossing it, and the higher the likelihood of falling.

Therefore, even though both of them bore the Golden Bloodline and were exemplary talents heavily nurtured by their respective families, they dared not recklessly attempt the tribulation.

They planned to return to their families and consult the family elders to personally act as protectors. Coupled with rare treasures for focus and protection, they would then start the tribulation process.

In contrast, Zhuge Yu’s breakthrough was much smoother.

However, after breaking through to Three Stars, his advancement momentum gradually slowed. Next, he needed time to settle and fully grasp the surge of strength before climbing higher.

“Probably not,” Taishi Feng shook his head. “Even if he’s a direct lineage of the Holy Blood, no one would touch the Celestial Human Three Tribulations unprepared. Qin Tian is meticulous and certainly understands its danger.”

Changing the subject, he looked at the water level of the Spirit Pool, now halfway down, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “But this guy’s body is like a bottomless pit! The energy he absorbed alone is several times more than the total amount we three absorbed together, truly a monster!”

“Isn’t that the case,” Huo Yuansheng nodded in agreement. “What background does Qin Tian have? This bloodline is simply too defying.”

From meeting to now, the abilities shown by Qin Tian were too numerous to count, dazzling everyone—spatial control, lightning attacks, flame bombardments—each mastered to perfection, with a combat power comparable to a same-level Holy Blood expert.

He honestly couldn’t figure out what kind of bloodline could produce such a terrifying genius.

Just as they were talking, a sudden disturbance surged within the Spirit Pool.

The Spirit Liquid, initially just gently rippling, suddenly began rotating frantically centered around Qin Tian. The vortex spun faster and faster, splashing water everywhere, and the pure energy surged into Qin Tian’s body like a tide, with the blue light projecting from the statue growing increasingly intense.

The next second, a terrifying wave of Qi Blood burst from Qin Tian’s body!

Golden Qi Blood, like boiling magma, broke free from the restraints of the Spirit Liquid, transforming into a pillar of light reaching the ceiling of the great hall.

The fiery power of the Qi Blood spread out, turning the entire hall into a blazing furnace in an instant. The temperature soared, tinting the air gold and exerting a crushing pressure that expanded in all directions.

“Such strong Qi Blood!”

Zhuge Yu and the other two’s faces changed dramatically, instinctively retreating several steps, hurriedly channeling their Spiritual Energy to form protective barriers.

Even so, they could still feel the heat and aggression of that Qi Blood, with the barriers trembling slightly as if they could be shattered at any moment, and their faces showed immense shock.

Taishi Feng stared in disbelief at the golden pillar of Qi Blood, exclaiming, “This power of Qi Blood… is he really not someone from the Royal Family or the Chen Family?”

Huo Yuansheng clenched his fists, cold sweat dripping from his palms, muttering to himself, “It’s too unbelievable… A monster, he truly is a monster.”

Zhuge Yu was equally shocked; though Qin Tian hadn’t broken through to Tier Seven, the power and Spiritual Energy pressure he demonstrated were far more terrifying than some Tier Seven experts.

The golden pillar of Qi Blood lasted for more than ten minutes, with the water level in the Spirit Pool visibly decreasing; the Spirit Liquid, already reduced by half, dropped by another third before the vortex began to slow down.

Taishi Feng swallowed hard, watching the continuously decreasing water level: “Is he really going to use this momentum to directly hit Tier Seven?”

With the foundation Qin Tian displayed, coupled with the Spirit Pool and Divine Light’s enhancement, even without external protection or rare treasure assistance, forcibly attempting the Celestial Human Three Tribulations might not be without success.

But just then, the surging aura on Qin Tian’s body slowly receded.

The towering golden pillar of Qi Blood gradually condensed, flowing back into his body, the vortex in the Spirit Pool ceased to spin, the temperature in the hall returned to normal, leaving only a dense, impenetrable aura of Spiritual Energy.

After a moment, the fluctuations of Qi Blood completely subsided, and the blue light projected by the statue also dimmed slightly.

Qin Tian slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light fleeting across his gaze.

He stood up from the Spirit Pool, the Spirit Liquid trickling down his body, creating tiny ripples as it dripped into the pool water.
