I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 1077: Chapter 674: Breakthrough for All_2

Qin Tian turned his head to look at the three people beside him who were already eager to start.

Xiong, Terreda, Old Ghost

"Xiong, you go first."

Terreda and Old Ghost exchanged glances and at the same time chose to give the opportunity to Xiong.

They knew that in the boss’s heart, Xiong had always been a very special presence.

They first met in the slave room of the Hundred Hunt Star Thieves, where the boss and Xiong formed a deep friendship.

From the darkest slave cabin to the vast world under the sun today, along the way, Xiong had always stayed by the boss’s side, fighting north and south, risking life and limb.

Xiong considered himself the boss’s subordinate, but in the boss’s heart, the sincere and loyal Xiong, who was unmatched in bravery on the battlefield, was far more than just a subordinate.

Therefore, the opportunity for this third ascension to Tier Seven was left to Xiong.

Upon hearing their words, Xiong did not refuse. He simply gave a simple-hearted smile and scratched his head, "Then let me go first."

He walked with big strides towards the center of the valley, his steps firm and steady, as if the earth was paving the way for him.

He turned around and stood still, his gaze swept across everyone, finally resting on Qin Tian’s face.

Qin Tian didn’t say much, just nodded, eyes full of confidence and encouragement: "Xiong, you won’t have any problems."

Xiong nodded heavily.

Xiong was a half-beastman, and at first, his natural talent was certainly not as good as Li Qi, Ran Tu, or Old Ghost who had the Ghost King’s Blood Eyes transplanted.

But over the years, Qin Tian had poured a lot of resources into him — dragon blood supplied endlessly, strengthening his bloodline and physique; heavenly materials and earthly treasures were never spared, enhancing him comprehensively from body to soul; combined with the baptism of the Pillar Stele Light, Xiong achieved all-round growth in a short time.

Now, Xiong’s talent was comparable to the Golden Blood.

In some aspects, his physical strength even surpassed that of Tier Sevens with Golden Bloodline, and the terrifying physique of the half-beastman, combined with the assistance of elixirs and dragon blood, made passing the Celestial Thunder Tribulation and Body Burning Tribulation not difficult.

As for the final Heart Demon Tribulation, Xiong, with his simple mind, wasn’t as risky as Li Qi and Ran Tu.

Perhaps, without the aid of the Reincarnation Lamp, Xiong could pass smoothly on his own.

"Hmm."

Xiong took a deep breath, his eyes turning serious. He slowly closed his eyes and cleared his mind of chaotic thoughts, leaving only a single thought —

Breakthrough.

Qi and blood surged to the sky, like a dark red pillar rising from his head straight into the clouds.

Spiritual Energy roared through the meridians like roaring rivers, repeatedly assaulting the barrier between Tier Six and Tier Seven.

"Boom——"

A loud noise echoed in the sky.

Clouds gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and purple-gold lightning rolled and shuttled in the clouds, emitting a deep rumble. A heart-palpitating pressure permeated the air, that was the might of heaven and earth, the gaze of the cosmos’s will.

Xiong’s Celestial Thunder Tribulation had arrived.

...

Ice Extreme Pass Camp.

"It’s been half a day, why haven’t the Military Lord and Minister Li Qi returned yet!"

In the tent, the core backbones of each legion paced back and forth, their footsteps thudding in the tent, and the atmosphere of anxiety spread in the air.

Someone sat on a stool, hands crossed, fingers constantly tapping on the back of his hand; someone leaned against a pillar, arms crossed, lips tightly pressed; someone kept looking outward, every movement of the wind and grass made his body tense slightly.

Everyone knew what the Military Lord had taken the legion commanders to do.

To break through to Tier Seven.

The infamous Celestial Human Three Tribulations, known to every Spiritualist. That chasm between Tier Six and Tier Seven, how many prodigies and heroes had been buried there, no one knew.

Even if they held deep respect for the legion commanders, facing the Celestial Human Three Tribulations, even the Holy Blood could fall, the danger was indeed too high.

As time passed and the Military Lord and legion commanders did not return, the anxiety in the camp grew stronger.

"Why haven’t they returned yet? Something might have happened..."

"Pah, pah, pah! Hit your own mouth at once! Can you say such things carelessly?"

"Alas, my heart has been thumping, I’m really scared. What if something happens to the legion commanders..."

"Shut up!"

The warriors spoke in low voices, their words full of worry.

They knew that since the legion commanders dared to face the Celestial Human Three Tribulations, they must have been thoroughly prepared.

But there’s always the fear of what if — what if someone falls at one of the hurdles, especially the final Heart Demon Tribulation, what if that person is their own legion commander... what would they do afterward?

The atmosphere grew heavier and more anxious. Everyone in the tent stepped out to stand in the middle of the camp, staring unblinkingly in the direction of the camp’s entrance, as if looking long enough would cause the invisible door to suddenly open.

Just when the atmosphere reached its tensest point—

Suddenly, a Gate of Space slowly opened in the center of the camp. A bluish light spread across the campsite’s open ground, forming a light curtain several tens of meters wide, within it was a deep spatial passage with no end in sight.

Upon seeing the familiar Gate of Space, all the warriors immediately surrounded it. The sound of their footsteps was chaotic and urgent, thousands of pairs of eyes fixed on that light, collectively holding their breath.

"Pa——"

The first to step out was Qin Tian. That familiar black silhouette, tall and steady, stepped out of the Gate of Space, appearing in everyone’s sight. His face grinned with a faint, ambiguous smile, his pace unhurried, showing no signs of fatigue or tension.
