I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield Chapter 647 - 485: The Sealed Gate, Entering the Treasury (Part 3)

The massive door trembled with ever-increasing violence, its gap steadily widening, yet regardless of how much more energy Zhuge Yu channeled, it stayed locked in that position, refusing to open wider.

Over ten minutes later, Zhuge Yu's spiritual energy was almost depleted, beads of sweat covering his forehead, compelling him to cease powering the array.

The icy blue energy sphere faded away, the door's quaking slowly calmed, and the fissure sealed shut once more, reverting to its prior condition.

"Can't do it." Zhuge Yu stored the array plate, shaking his head in resignation.

Silence enveloped the group.

With the treasure vault so tantalizingly close, blocked only by this stubborn door, frustration gnawed at them all.

Qin Tian fixed his gaze on the door's runes, brows furrowed deeply. Abruptly, a memory surfaced, igniting a spark in his eyes.

"Let me try."

Qin Tian's words shattered the quiet, drawing all eyes toward him.

Qin Tian advanced, palm turning over to summon a silver cube from nowhere.

Crafted from space power, the cube held a crystalline icy blue orb at its core.

"This is..." Zhuge Yu narrowed his eyes; a faint chill emanated from the space cube, detectable to him.

Qin Tian offered no detailed explanation, simply releasing the space cube's seals.

In the instant that followed, the ice orb emerged, unleashing a horrifying cold wave that engulfed the whole palace.

The other three instinctively stepped back, spiritual energy surging to erect defenses, just managing to fend off the frost, their faces etched with shock and uncertainty.

From puppet mastery in the first trial, to the Ten Great Guns Heaven-Burning Purgatory in the second, and now this chilling ice orb, Qin Tian resembled Doraemon, endlessly producing surprising skills and items.

Qin Tian's eyes locked onto the ice orb.

It had been found at the depths of the "Non-Freezing Cold Lake" prior to entering Lan’s sleeping palace.

That lake's waters, defying freeze despite their sub-zero chill colder than ancient profound ice, concealed this orb at the bottom's heart.

Recognizing its rarity back then, he had encased it in layers of space power and tucked it into his spirit space, never imagining its utility now.

"Whether the door can be opened depends on you." Qin Tian declared, lifting his hand to gently position the ice orb at the demon pattern's center on the door.

The instant the ice orb made contact with the door—

"Boom!"

The whole massive door shuddered fiercely, as if straining to tear free from its base.

The ice orb flared with brilliant icy blue radiance, vast energy surging through the demon pattern like rivers refilling parched channels, swiftly blanketing the entire door.

Runes that had lain inactive now blazed to life, channeling the same icy essence as the orb, humming with delight like jubilant cheers.

All eyes bulged as the heavy profound ice door creaked inward under the energy's drive.

Starting with a narrow slit, fueled by the ceaseless influx from the ice orb, it broadened until a single-person passage stood revealed, bathed in soft white glow within.

"It’s done!" Taishi Feng cried out in thrill, fists pumping triumphantly.

Zhuge Yu exhaled in relief; as anticipated, ice power held the secret to unlocking it.

Qin Tian reclaimed the ice orb adhered to the door, its glow dimming steadily. He glanced back at the group, a grin tugging his lips: "Let’s go, let’s see what treasures are hidden in the Ice God Race’s vault."

"Alright!"

The team chorused agreement, hearts brimming with uncontainable excitement.

Zhuge Yu led by darting through the opening, Taishi Feng and Huo Yuansheng close behind, Qin Tian last, deftly stowing the ice orb back into his spirit space.

Ice God Treasure Vault, here we come!
