I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield Chapter 674 - 498: Exiling the Demon General, Treasury Unsealed (Part 2)

In the Empire, diverse bloodlines grant extraordinary abilities. Sometimes, even Holy Blood falls short, while specific lineages prove more effective.

Furthermore, Qin Tian has already demonstrated his might through his accomplishments. Someone capable of defeating a Tier Seven Holy Blood member while only at Tier Six is certainly not boasting idly.

"I specialize in spatial secret arts. If you can create an opening for me, I can banish him into the chaotic currents of the void."

Is that so?

Indeed, that's a sound strategy.

Without hesitation, Ji Taiyan agreed, nodding. "Alright, I will create the opportunity."

Qin Tian presented an alternative perspective. While defeating the Tier Eight Demon General might be impossible, making him vanish is achievable.

As long as the Demon General cannot traverse the void, being sent into the chaotic void currents means he will be exiled in an inescapable void for the rest of his life, even if the chaos itself doesn't kill him.

Before these words fully registered, Ji Taiyan transformed into a streak of brilliant yellow lightning. His golden spear sliced through the frigid wind, its tip imbued with dragon flames, directly targeting the Demon General's head.

The Demon General bellowed and raised an arm to block. Post-evolution, its scales appeared even more formidable, clashing against the spear tip with a resonant "clang" that caused the void to hum.

The Dragon Spear managed to pierce the scales, but only penetrated half an inch into the palm before becoming lodged—compared to its previous penetrative power, the Demon General's physical resilience had clearly increased. Absorbing dragon flames had evidently bolstered its flame resistance and bodily defense.

"Truly a terrifying race; it's no wonder the Ice God Race was annihilated."

Ji Taiyan marveled silently. This kind of evolution through hardship presents a nightmare for all civilizations.

Yet, his hands did not cease their assault. With a sharp flick of his wrist, the Saint Dragon Power within the spear erupted violently, akin to a volcanic explosion. "Break!"

A dominant force surged through the spear tip into the Demon General's palm, obliterating its golden-light-covered palm into a bloody mess, scattering shattered bones and dark blood.

The Demon General roared in agony. Another massive claw, emanating an ice-blue chill, swiped towards Ji Taiyan's face, but he deftly sidestepped, evading the attack. The Dragon Spear, carried by the momentum, precisely wedged into the gap between the Demon General's breastplate and shoulder armor.

"Rise!" Ji Taiyan shouted deeply. The phantom of the Golden Holy Dragon soared behind him, its draconic claws firmly gripping the spear shaft, forcefully lifting the dozens-of-meters-tall "mountain of flesh" into the air.

The Demon General lost its footing mid-air. Just as it began to regain balance, Ji Taiyan followed up with a dual-fisted assault.

"Holy Dragon Fist: Twin Dragon Destruction!"

Two colossal golden dragon phantoms, each dozens of meters in length, erupted from his fists, impacting the Demon General's torso from either side.

The immense force cascaded downwards like a tidal wave, sending the Demon General's colossal body flying like a tattered kite. Dragon flames reignited upon it, but this time, the flames could only scorch its surface, unable to penetrate its bones.

At the precise moment the Demon General was propelled backward, the entire battlefield's space began to vibrate intensely.

Ji Taiyan keenly perceived a powerful spatial distortion, and below, the Empire's talents engaged in battle also turned their heads.

Behind the Demon General, the void fractured like shattered glass, swiftly followed by a basketball-sized black anomaly that expanded rapidly. Within moments, it transformed into a spatial vortex spanning over a hundred meters in diameter.

The vortex's interior was a realm of distorted darkness, filled with countless fine spatial blades spinning and emitting a slicing "hiss." Even light was utterly absorbed.

More mysteriously, the spatial energy emanating from the vortex was not restrictive; instead, it acted like an invisible hand, propelling the Demon General backward with even greater speed.

The overwhelming sense of impending death awakened the Demon General's full potential. Demonic qi surged uncontrollably throughout its being, and the ice-blue patterns blazed with maximum intensity as it attempted to forcibly turn and escape.

However, Ji Taiyan was already prepared. He pointed his Dragon Spear through the air, launching a golden dragon pattern towards the Demon General, momentarily delaying its actions by half a second.

This critical half-second sealed the Demon General's fate.

Its enormous body plunged into the spatial vortex, emitting only a distorted shriek before being completely consumed by the darkness within.

In the subsequent second, the spatial vortex contracted and vanished, leaving behind only a faint tremor in the void, as if it had never existed.

A short, stunned quiet descended upon the battlefield, every combatant freezing, their gazes fixed on the spot where the Demon General had inexplicably disappeared.

It was a beast's guttural roar that finally shattered the stillness, jolting everyone from their stupor.

"Spatial banishment? That synergy was flawless!"

"I never anticipated the fight concluding like this. I wonder whose power that was?"

"I'm uncertain, but given the seamless coordination with His Highness, it must be someone close to him. We'll find out once this conflict is resolved."

Murmurs spread through the ranks, faces alight with surprise and a hint of glee.

"It's Qin Tian, it has to be him."

From a concealed spot on the fringes of the combat zone, individuals from the Dongfang Clan and their accompanying contingent instinctively turned their eyes toward Qin Tian's location.

While others might have been in the dark about the creator of the spatial vortex, having been in such close proximity, they immediately recognized the individual responsible.

"A Yu, can you comprehend Qin Tian's abilities?"

Dongfang Qi sent a mental query to Zhuge Yu via their soul connection.

He possessed a moderate understanding of Qin Tian, though not exhaustive. Much of what he knew about Qin Tian's origins and capabilities had been gleaned from Dongfang Haoyue and Dongfang Mingyue.

Not long before, Qin Tian had showcased an impressive display of the Power of Thunder. He had initially surmised Qin Tian to be a cultivator of the Thunder Element, never imagining his spatial manipulation skills would prove to be even more extraordinary.

Among the myriad of Elemental Abilities, the Spatial Ability was renowned as the most scarce, yet the most invaluable – a power truly without parallel.
