I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield Chapter 695 - 507: Confident Reliance, Shengongsi Arrives (Part 3)

"Boom!"

Eight streams of Spiritual Energy burst forth almost at the same instant, causing the air above the frozen valley to ripple.

Leading the assault, Shengongsi Yuzuo, enveloped by dark gray disaster Spiritual Energy, plunged downward like a fleeting shadow, his sights locked directly onto Qin Tian.

Shengongsi Xin Fu darted towards Taishi Feng, who had just achieved a breakthrough, while the remaining six Golden Clan prodigies split into two distinct groups. One group moved to intercept Zhuge Yu, and the other advanced directly on a completely defenseless Huo Yuansheng.

Based purely on strength, this was shaping up to be a completely one-sided hunt.

Shengongsi Yuzuo himself was a Tier Seven Holy Blood expert, wielding mysterious and troublesome disaster Spiritual Energy, giving him a clear edge over Qin Tian, who was still a Tier Seven but had not yet broken through.

Shengongsi Xin Fu, a Tier Seven Three-Star Holy Blood with a deep Spiritual Energy foundation, was more than a match for Taishi Feng, who was still struggling to stabilize his newly achieved realm.

Zhuge Yu, despite his mastery of arrays, faced his most significant weakness: the disparity in Spiritual Energy levels. Confronting six Golden Bloodline geniuses alone, the pressure he was under was immense.

Most critically, Huo Yuansheng was still undergoing his Heart Demon Tribulation, rendering him immobile and a vulnerable target.

"Clang!"

The Black Frost Saber clashed against Shengongsi Yuzuo’s disaster claws, sending sparks and threads of lightning scattering into the air.

Using the recoil, Qin Tian took half a step back, narrowly avoiding the corrosive touch of the disaster Spiritual Energy. Simultaneously, his left hand rapidly formed a seal, unleashing dozens of intricate purple lightning threads that formed a web, precisely entangling two Golden geniuses who were charging towards Huo Yuansheng.

"Ah—"

Struck by the lightning, the two were immobilized, their bodies stiffening, and their Spiritual Energy flow severely hampered.

Just then, Shengongsi Yuzuo’s attack followed relentlessly, his disaster claws descending like a malevolent shadow.

"Dividing your attention, you court death!" Shengongsi Yuzuo’s sneering voice echoed nearby.

On the other side, Taishi Feng’s Heaven-piercing Halberd weaved like a tempest. The spear shadows formed from golden Spiritual Energy forced Shengongsi Xin Fu back, but the latter’s Holy Blood Martial Techniques were brutal. The fist winds carried shocking waves capable of tearing at the soul. Taishi Feng, having just broken through, felt his Qi and Blood surging uncontrollably, and blood began to seep from the corner of his mouth.

Zhuge Yu’s situation was the most precarious.

His defensive array had been breached five times, leaving only a single Spiritual Energy barrier that quivered intensely under the relentless assault of several Golden geniuses. The battle had instantly escalated into a feverish intensity.

Within the icy valley, Spiritual Energy detonated continuously, sending ice fragments and debris flying. Qin Tian appeared to be in dire straits fighting Shengongsi Yuzuo, yet he consistently managed to unleash threads of lightning in the brief intervals, disrupting the enemies attacking Huo Yuansheng.

Taishi Feng endured an injury, taking a punch to the shoulder, which in turn granted him an opening to strike Shengongsi Xin Fu’s flank with his halberd.

Zhuge Yu’s array was on the verge of collapse, and his body bore multiple wounds from the spiritual energy aftershocks. Nevertheless, he stood resolute before Huo Yuansheng, unwavering like a steadfast rock.

Shengongsi Yuzuo perceived their strategy, his eyes blazing with intensified killing intent. "You intend to stall until that brat awakens? A pipe dream!"

He suddenly unleashed his full might, condensing his disaster Spiritual Energy into a claw-shaped blade and slashing at Qin Tian, forcing him into a desperate defense. In that fleeting moment, a wind element genius lurking in the shadows seized the opportunity. His Spiritual Energy, concentrated to its zenith, formed a faint green Wind Blade—as delicate as a cicada's wing—that sliced silently through the air, aiming directly for Huo Yuansheng’s back.

Qin Tian’s pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately moved to intervene, but Shengongsi Yuzuo intercepted him. Zhuge Yu’s barrier was still occupied fending off other attacks, leaving him unable to assist. Taishi Feng was locked in a fierce struggle with Shengongsi Xin Fu, capable only of watching the approaching Wind Blade with helpless eyes.

Just as the Wind Blade was about to strike Huo Yuansheng’s body, his tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open!

Within them resided no trace of confusion from recent awakening, but a sharpness akin to cold stars. Following this, an ultimate Sword Intent erupted skyward—an intent like an unsheathed, peerless blade, cleaving through the clouds. The entire ice valley trembled slightly, and even the surrounding ice mountains developed fine cracks under the sheer force of the Sword Intent.

At this critical juncture, Huo Yuansheng had finally achieved his breakthrough!
