As his consciousness slowly surfaced from the deep sea, Qin Tian faintly heard the roar of cannons and low growls, and his chaotic thoughts gradually became clear.He struggled to open his eyes. The dazzling light made him instinctively squint, but after a moment of adjustment, the scene before him finally came into view.Karthus's jet-black soul robe flapped fiercely in the dark winds of the subspace. The soul scythe in his hand, like the Grim Reaper's weapon, brought forth ghostly blue soul fire with every swing, reducing the pouncing dimensional creatures to nothingness.These creatures possessed bizarre forms: some were flowing energy bodies, others were phantoms covered in bone spurs. Like sharks smelling blood, they surged toward him endlessly but were all firmly blocked by Karthus.Beside Karthus, an entirely crimson cannon floated in the air. A scorching aura still lingered at the barrel, and the muzzle occasionally shot out tiny sparks—it was Burning Heaven Purgatory.Seeing Qin Tian wake up, a layer of red light flickered on the cannon's surface, and Breiz's voice came through with a hint of relief: "You're finally awake. Any later, and I was going to use the muzzle to scorch your butt."Qin Tian finally recovered his senses and instinctively looked down at the person in his arms—Dongfang Mingyue was still unconscious, her eyes closed and breathing steady, though her face was still pale.He sighed in relief, then immediately noticed something was amiss: he had returned to his original state, but because his clothes had been ripped when he transformed into the Shadow Bear earlier, he was currently completely naked."Ahem—"Qin Tian's face flushed, and he quickly retrieved a set of black tight-fitting attire from his Yang spatial storage gear and put it on.While dressing, he noticed the changes in himself—an unprecedented power surged through his limbs, his skin seemed to possess a faint luster, and when he raised his hand, he could clearly feel the explosive power contained within his muscles and bones."This is the effect of 【Indestructible Myriad Calamities】—"Qin Tian understood immediately.Earlier, during the spatial storm, he repeatedly faced near-death experiences only to be pulled back by the Undying Holy Body. The passive effect of 【Indestructible Myriad Calamities】 was repeatedly triggered, and now his defense and attack power had increased by at least 20%.It must be noted that given his current foundation of strength, even a 1% increase in attack and defense is difficult; a 20% increase is terrifying. This indirectly confirmed just how perilous the recent crisis had been—it was like walking a tightrope on the edge of a thousand-foot cliff, where a slight mistake would lead to complete annihilation.Qin Tian lowered his head and gazed at the monolith necklace on his chest, his fingertips gently stroking the cool stone surface.Although his consciousness was nearing silence at the time, he could still vaguely perceive that the monolith had awakened at the last moment, releasing energy that blocked most of the storm damage for him, giving the Undying Holy Body a chance to recover.However, the monolith had now returned to its usual silence, showing no reaction like an ordinary stone. He did °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° not know when it would awaken next.He withdrew his gaze and looked inward—only about ten percent of his spiritual energy remained, and a faint stinging sensation from subspace energy lingered in his meridians, clearly a lingering effect of the previous high-intensity battle and near-death state.However, this was not a problem for him. With a thought, a porcelain bottle flew out of his Yin spatial storage and landed steadily in his palm. He uncorked the bottle, poured out two crystalline white "Spirit Gathering Pills," and swallowed them whole.The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth. Pure spiritual energy immediately spread throughout his body, slowly flowing through his meridians like spring rain nourishing dry land. The sensation of spiritual energy recovery allowed his tense nerves to relax slightly.Just then, Qin Tian looked up at the battlefield.The dimensional creatures surrounding Karthus and Burning Heaven Purgatory had various forms: some were translucent energy bodies wrapped in ghostly green arcs, moving like phantoms; some had bodies covered in bone spurs, with limbs as thick as pillars, roaring and brandishing sharp claws; and others were like floating shadows, constantly splitting into smaller clones, trying to break through the defense through the gaps.He was familiar with subspace creatures: these dimensional creatures were the most basic inhabitants of the subspace, most of them weak, equivalent only to First or Second-Tier Spiritual Energy Users. However, there were also strong ones, even Dimensional Kings comparable to Eighth or Ninth-Tier, possessing the terrifying power to tear space.The most dangerous things in the subspace were not these dimensional creatures, but the legendary Four Evil Gods and their subordinate Chaos Demons—the Heretical God Society within the Empire was a fanatical organization that worshiped these Evil Gods.The birth of Chaos Demons was even more unique; they were entities formed by the intense negative emotions of intelligent beings condensed in the subspace. They possessed independent consciousness from birth and were infected by the power of the Evil Gods, becoming their minions.The strength of every Chaos Demon was no less than Sixth-Tier, and in the subspace, they could exert combat power far exceeding their normal state, making them extremely troublesome.Among the dimensional creatures currently attacking, there were three entities that had reached Sixth-Tier strength—they acted as the core of the battlefield, constantly commanding the lower-tier dimensional creatures to charge, coordinating flawlessly.However, Karthus and Breiz's strength was clearly suppressed in the subspace.As Karthus swung his soul scythe, the power of the soul fire was reduced by thirty percent compared to normal.Although Burning Heaven Purgatory could attack autonomously, its power was still significantly reduced due to the lack of human guidance.The two could only barely hold the defensive line and could not counterattack proactively. Furthermore, as time passed, more and more dimensional creatures were drawn in, and the encirclement gradually tightened."It's a good thing I woke up." A hint of coldness flashed in Qin Tian's eyes. He held Dongfang Mingyue in one arm, raised his other hand, and beckoned toward Burning Heaven Purgatory."Are you calling a kitten or a puppy?" Breiz's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction, but he still controlled Burning Heaven Purgatory to quickly fly back into Qin Tian's hand.The fiery red barrel felt heavy in his hand. The muzzle was several meters in diameter, and before spiritual energy was injected, it seemed somewhat dormant.Qin Tian unhesitatingly poured the recovered spiritual energy wildly into it—pure, surging spiritual energy rushed through his arm into the barrel. The slightly dim barrel instantly lit up with crimson light, the temperature at the muzzle rapidly soared, and the surrounding subspace energy was forcibly pulled in, forming swirling rings of twisted, scorching heatwaves, as if the air itself was about to ignite.Qin Tian slightly raised his arm, aimed the muzzle at the densest concentration of dimensional creatures, and instantly maximized his spiritual energy output."Boom—!!!"In an instant, a crimson beam several meters thick erupted from the muzzle. The moment the red light left the barrel, it spread outwards at an astonishing speed as if endowed with life, instantly transforming into a fan-shaped energy tide that swept forth like a surging tsunami.Wherever the red energy wave passed, the chaotic clouds of the subspace were instantly vaporized. Low-tier dimensional creatures were swallowed by the energy tide before they even had time to react, leaving no remains. The faces of the three Sixth-Tier dimensional creatures changed drastically; they hurriedly condensed thick energy shields, even burning their essence in an attempt to block this terrifying strike.But the fan-shaped energy tide was like an unstoppable flood, slamming fiercely into the shields—with a crisp "crack," the shields instantly filled with fissures before shattering completely.The energy tide proceeded to engulf the three Sixth-Tier dimensional creatures. They let out miserable roars, their bodies rapidly dissolving in the red light, ultimately leaving not even a trace of their presence.The entire battlefield slowly fell into silence. The remaining dimensional creatures looked at the hellish scene before them, their eyes filled with terror, and they retreated one after another. Some even turned and fled, daring not to stay any longer.Qin Tian watched the scattered dimensional creatures flee and did not choose to pursue them.Although that cannon shot was astonishingly powerful, it had nearly depleted the spiritual energy he had just recovered. If he rashly pursued them deeper into the subspace, he might encounter stronger dimensional creatures or unknown dangers.He put down Burning Heaven Purgatory, looked down at Dongfang Mingyue, and seeing that although her face was pale, her breathing was still steady, he finally felt completely relieved.Just then, a shimmer suddenly appeared above the battlefield. Countless light spheres of varying sizes rose from where the dimensional creatures had vanished, slowly flying toward Qin Tian like stars filling the sky—these were the Talent Light Spheres condensed after the dimensional creatures died.Qin Tian waved his hand, and all the Talent Light Spheres were drawn by an invisible force, surging into his body.He roughly scanned through the introductions of the many talents."I choose you." Qin Tian tapped his fingertip, and a purple light sphere instantly transformed into a stream of light, formally merging with his body.【Name】 Subspace Dimensional Body (Purple)【Type】 Passive Talent 【Description】 The possessor can perfectly adapt to the chaotic environment of the subspace, unaffected by spatial turbulence and energy erosion. Within the subspace, energy recovery speed is increased by 200%, movement speed is increased by 150%, and perception range is expanded by 300%; they control Dimensional Power, can open temporary dimensional channels within the subspace to achieve short-distance spatial jumps, and can condense dimensional energy to form attacks, dealing 200% extra damage to subspace creatures and 500% extra damage to creatures from other universes.The moment the talent merged, Qin Tian clearly felt a change in his body—the stinging sensation from the residual subspace energy instantly vanished, the speed of spiritual energy recovery noticeably accelerated, and the surrounding chaotic subspace environment became clear in his perception; he could even "see" the flow of energy streams in the distance.He tried to mobilize the newly acquired Dimensional Power. A layer of light purple glow appeared on his fingertip, and with a gentle flick, a stream of dimensional energy shot toward the distant chaotic cloud, instantly blasting a gap in the cloud."Not bad."Qin Tian nodded contentedly. Compared to other excellent purple talents, the numerical values and abilities provided by the Subspace Dimensional Body were not outstanding, but this talent immediately allowed him to transform into an inhabitant of the subspace, instantly recovering his previously suppressed strength and boosting it significantly.With the Subspace Dimensional Body, his future actions in the subspace would be much safer, and he would have greater confidence in finding the exit from the subspace.Qin Tian looked down at the unconscious Dongfang Mingyue in his arms.Earlier, during the subspace storm, she had poured all her innate Green Wood Power into him, leading to the complete depletion of her spiritual energy. Coupled with the erosion of the subspace chaotic energy on her soul, this caused her to fall into a deep coma.Fortunately, Karthus had timely used his soul power to protect her Sea of Consciousness, preventing more severe damage."It's time to wake up."Qin Tian murmured softly, raising his hand to brush away the stray hair beside her cheek. Then, a soft green light appeared on his palm, outputting life force that was gentle yet vast, ensuring it wouldn't burden the weak Dongfang Mingyue.As the green light slowly flowed into Dongfang Mingyue's body, Qin Tian took out another Spirit Gathering Pill, carefully pried open her lips, and sent the pill inside.The Spirit Gathering Pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth. Pure spiritual energy slid down her throat into her body, intertwining with the life force Qin Tian injected, nourishing her depleted meridians and soul like spring rain.Before long, the Green Wood bloodline within Dongfang Mingyue was completely activated—a faint blue-green glow appeared between her eyebrows, and subtle green spiritual radiance surrounded her body. Like vegetation receiving sweet rain after a long drought, she began frantically absorbing the energy flowing into her.Qin Tian could clearly feel her breathing gradually becoming stronger, her complexion slowly recovering its color from pallor, and her life aura becoming increasingly stable."Mmm—" Dongfang Mingyue let out a soft groan, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.A moment later, she slowly opened her eyes. Her clear gaze still held a hint of confusion and disorientation; clearly, she hadn't fully recovered from the coma.When her gaze focused on Qin Tian before her, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. She instinctively raised her hand, her fingertip gently touching Qin Tian's cheek. Feeling the warmth, she mumbled groggily, "Qin Tian, is this—"Is this a dream? Are we—are we already dead?"Qin Tian looked at her confused appearance, a hint of softness swelling in his heart. A gentle smile unconsciously touched his lips, and he spoke very softly: "It's not a dream. We survived."This was the first time Dongfang Mingyue had heard Qin Tian speak in such a gentle voice—in the past, he was either calm and steady or carried the cold sharpness of combat; he had never used such a soft tone.The familiar yet strange tenderness instantly sobered her up, and she finally realized her current situation: she was leaning against Qin Tian's chest, one hand still resting on his cheek, and they were close enough to feel each other's breath.An intimate atmosphere instantly spread between the two of them.Dongfang Mingyue's cheeks instantly turned crimson, as if scorched by fire; even her earlobes were tinged pink. She quickly withdrew her hand, her gaze flickering away, daring not to look at Qin Tian again. Her heart pounded, and even her breathing became slightly hurried.Qin Tian watched her embarrassed look, a trace of amusement flashing in his eyes, but he didn't tease her further. He simply let go of her and said softly, "You just woke up, and your body is still very weak. Rest a little longer. Once you recover, we will look for the exit from the subspace."Dongfang Mingyue softly "Mmm-ed," her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, the heat on her cheeks lingering for a long time.She looked down at her feet, and the scene aboard the star moon vessel suddenly surfaced in her mind—the care of The Xiahou Brothers, Captain Jin's hearty laughter, the busy figures of the crew—but now, everyone on the entire star moon vessel had perished in the subspace storm, leaving only her and Qin Tian.The relief of surviving the disaster was instantly doused with cold water. Loss and heaviness surged into her heart. Her fingertips unconsciously clutched the corner of her clothes, and the bright mood she had upon waking suddenly dimmed.Qin Tian took in the change in her emotions, sighing softly in his heart. He naturally knew what Dongfang Mingyue was thinking—the crew members of the star moon vessel were all core members of the Dongfang Family. They had gotten along very well over the past few days, and their sudden deaths must be hard for her."Don't think too much." Qin Tian spoke softly, his tone carrying a hint of comfort. "The probability of a subspace storm is less than one in ten thousand. Our encounter can only be called an accident."He paused, a trace of complexity flashing in his eyes—although it was called an accident, he had previously overheard the conversation between Captain Jin and the crew member A Jun. That string of "bad luck," coupled with this rare storm, always made him feel that something was off. However, without evidence now, further speculation was useless.Now, what he needed to consider was how to leave this wretched place.
