I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 700 - 510: Body Burning Tribulation, Fear

Bang!

The sky was filled with blood lightning falling like torrential rain, all slamming down on two "embracing" figures.

A thunderous roar echoed through the Ice Abyss, and the towering ice mountains on both sides collapsed under the might of the thunder, massive ice boulders rolling down and smashing into the lightning screen, instantly turning into powder.

Qin Tian’s arms, forged like eternal iron, tightly encircled Shengongsi Yuzuo’s waist, allowing the blood-red lightning columns to strike down upon them.

Purple-golden lightning arcs coursed across his skin, channeling some of the Thunder Power into his body, transforming it into tempering nourishment.

Shengongsi Yuzuo’s pupils were crimson, and the gray-black disaster Spiritual Energy surged around him, erecting a thick Spirit Shield.

Initially, the shield could barely withstand the lightning tribulation’s impact, causing blood-red lightning to explode into scattered sparks upon contact, but as waves of lightning columns relentlessly descended, cracks on the shield grew denser, emitting crisp "crackling" sounds.

Finally, under the assault of a barrel-thick lightning column, the Spirit Shield shattered with a thunderous crash, countless thin threads of blood lightning slithering into Shengongsi Yuzuo’s body like venomous snakes, rampaging through his meridians, ravaging his muscles, bones, and internal organs.

"Damn it!"

Intense pain left Shengongsi Yuzuo trembling all over, desperately twisting his body, trying to break free of Qin Tian’s embrace, but Qin Tian’s arms were like forged steel bars, unmoving.

Shengongsi Yuzuo gritted his teeth, his hard skull striking backward with a whoosh.

A "crack" sounded, Qin Tian’s nose instantly fractured, blood streaming down his mouth, his head buzzing, vision darkening.

Yet his gaze remained composed; such injuries for one who often wandered on the brink of life and death were mere child’s play.

Not only did he not let go, but instead his arms tightened, squeezing even tighter, causing Shengongsi Yuzuo’s bones to groan under the unbearable strain.

Seeing this, Shengongsi Yuzuo went utterly berserk, enduring the ravaging pain of lightning within him, his disaster Spiritual Energy skyrocketing.

His skin rapidly cracked, blue-black snake scales surging like tides to cover his entire body, his head twisting and contorting into a massive snake head filled with fangs, his torso thickening and elongating, instantly transforming into a giant snake several dozen meters long.

As the snake body writhed, trying to break free from Qin Tian’s hold — he was sure that with his size increased, Qin Tian surely could not hold onto him.

But if he could transform, so could Qin Tian!

"Roar—!"

Qin Tian tilted his head back, letting out a deafening roar, his bones producing a "crackling" cacophony, muscles frantically expanding, black fur sprouting like bamboo shoots from beneath his skin, his body towering over ten meters tall, transforming into a colossal black bear.

Dark Transformation Technique — Shadow Bear Form

(Body gigantification, skin covered with a rock-like keratin layer, physical defense increased by 60%, life value cap increased by 40%, if life value falls below 30%, instantly recover 20% of max life value, only trigger once per battle.)

The black bear was enveloped in dense black fur, interwoven with purple-golden lightning arcs, eyes red as blood, exuding a savage aura.

Upon transformation, the black bear flipped over, firmly pressing on the giant snake’s wide back, the tremendous weight causing the snake to crash onto the ice surface, forming a huge crater.

The black bear’s arms encircled again, its thick limbs like iron hoops locking around the snake’s torso, sharp claws gleaming with cold light, fiercely piercing through the scale gaps, instantly penetrating the hard scales, deep into flesh, blood gushing out, staining the ice surroundings.

The giant snake let out a painful hiss, body frantically writhing and rolling, trying to throw the bear off its back, but the bear clung on like barnacles on a whale’s back, no matter how the snake struggled, it remained firmly attached, claws continuously gouging and tearing its flesh.

Thunderclouds above were still furious, waves of blood-red lightning columns relentlessly striking down on the two giant beasts, Thunder Power flowing through the bear’s fur into its body, converted into pure energy by the [Thunder Ancestor] talent, while the snake under the dual torment of lightning and claws experienced unstable fluctuations, large patches of scales falling off, flesh exposed and blurry.

At a distance, hiding at the ice mountain’s corner, Gu Pingzhi peered out half his head, eyes widened like brass bells, staring fiercely at the terrifying scene in the Ice Abyss center, heart pounding so hard it almost leapt out of his throat.

Among those two beasts fiercely embroiled in the most primitive, most savage struggle, one is Shengongsi Yuzuo, a Tier Seven Seven Stars Holy Blood Prodigy?

This completely overturned his understanding!

He never imagined such a high-ranking Holy Blood Prodigy being forced into a situation like this, fighting another in beast form, what’s more unimaginable is Shengongsi Yuzuo is the one being suppressed.

"Madness! Utter madness!"

Gu Pingzhi muttered internally, feeling his worldview collapsing at that moment.

Wave after wave of blood-red lightning columns continued their furious bombardment, the Power of Destruction in the late-stage lightning tribulation had reached its peak, even void splitting into fine cracks.

The black bear transformed by Qin Tian was no longer calm, its thick black fur falling off in clumps under the lightning fire, revealing charred skin beneath, each lightning column strike echoing with crackling bone fracturing sounds, flesh ripped apart and reformed under the electric bombardment, meridians shattered and rebuilt repeatedly, pain surging like tides through his body.

But his gaze remained as sharp as a blade, firmly suppressing the giant snake beneath, with [Thunder Ancestor] talent frenziedly running, converting most Thunder Power into tempering energy, while [Immortal Sacred Body]’s passive regeneration pushed to the extreme, destruction and rebirth forming a bizarre cycle within him.
