I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Shen Tian sat on the gravel, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

In fact, all his attention was focused on the system panel in his mind.

In the upper right corner of the panel, the kill count is jumping at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Current kill count: 338,500

In Fengcheng, Lei Wanshan led his army in a relentless advance through the occupied territory.

The three thousand men split into smaller groups, like a frantically running meat grinder, reaping the remaining monsters in the occupied area one after another.

Each time a strange beast falls, the kill value travels thousands of miles and is instantly transferred to Shen Tian's panel.

Two hundred thousand.

enough.

Shen Tian opened his eyes and glanced at the two purple-skinned aliens fifty meters away.

Purple Spirit Clan.

His spiritual power surpasses that of all other races.

Human warriors of the same level have their seas of consciousness as fragile as paper in front of them.

Shen Tian glanced down at the three thousand Po Jun Si warriors behind him.

These brothers followed him through thick and thin, not one of them a coward.

But mental strength...

If the Purple Spirit Clan really makes a move, these three thousand people won't even last a single exchange.

His consciousness shattered, he went mad, and began killing each other.

The tragedy that occurred in the garrison city of Tianyun Prefecture ten years ago serves as a cautionary tale.

Shen Tian would not allow such a thing to happen to his own people.

Since the Purple Spirit Clan is known for its spiritual power.

Then we should completely crush their advantage in terms of mental strength.

Shen Tian brought up the talent panel and locked his gaze on one of the purple talents.

[The Indescribable Body]

This talent is the most bizarre and sinister of all his talents.

Spiritual pollution, gluttony and plunder, chaotic assimilation.

But not enough.

Even with a 1% talent sharing bonus, the purple tier is insufficient to completely counter the entire Purple Spirit Clan in terms of mechanics.

Shen Tian took a deep breath and tapped the panel lightly.

[Do you wish to consume 100,000 kill points to upgrade the purple talent "Unspeakable Body" to an orange talent?]

【confirm. 】

In an instant.

A silent storm erupted deep within Shen Tian's consciousness.

It was as if something ancient, something that did not belong to this world, had awakened from the endless abyss.

Shen Tian's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw it.

In the deepest part of the sea of ​​consciousness.

One eye.

Huge, jet-black eyes with no whites.

It slowly opened from the void.

He stared at Shen Tian.

It also gazes upon this world.

Then--

It blinked.

The system notification sounded like an explosion.

[Ding—Upgrade complete!]

The purple talent "Unspeakable Body" has evolved into an orange talent!

Talent Name: Abyss Observer

[Rank: Orange]

[Entry Description: You are no longer one who gazes into the abyss; you are the abyss itself. You are the source of madness in all things, the terminator of all reason. Your will is the will of the abyss, your gaze is the final judgment. Before you, there are no secrets, no lies, no mental barriers can exist. For—the abyss knows everything, the abyss devours everything.]

Shen Tian quickly scanned the entries for the new talent.

Three effects.

Each one made the corners of his mouth turn up slightly.

[Abyssal Gaze (Passive): Your mental power gains the "Abyss" attribute. Any mental attack attempting to invade your consciousness will be forcibly devoured by the Abyss and will backfire on the caster, dealing 500% true mental damage.]

When Shen Tian saw the first one, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

A gaze into the abyss.

What if it's shared through killing the commander?

Three thousand soldiers, each with the passive effect of Abyss Gaze.

[All Spirits Devour the Heart (Active): Upon activation, unleashes an abyss-level mental shock on all hostile creatures within the designated area. Those hit will suffer a dimensional reduction attack at the level of their sea of ​​consciousness—targets with mental strength two ranks lower than yours will have their sea of ​​consciousness shattered instantly; targets with mental strength one rank lower will be forced into "Abyssal Fear," losing all will to fight; targets of the same rank will have their mental strength decay by 10% per second. Furthermore, any creature you personally kill will have all its memories forcibly extracted by the abyss and stored in your sea of ​​consciousness at the moment of death, for you to access at any time.]

Access memories.

Shen Tian's gaze lingered on those four words for a full three seconds.

What does this mean?

This means that every enemy he kills becomes a source of intelligence for him.

The Purple Spirit Clan's schemes, hidden agendas, and century-long plan...

Once the key figures are killed, all secrets will be exposed.

nice one.

Very good stuff.

[Avoid direct gaze (Passive): Your mental energy possesses the characteristics of "contamination" and "erosion." If a hostile creature stares directly into your eyes for more than three seconds, your mental energy will be corroded at a rate of 5% per second. Those corroded below 50% will be forced into a state of "madness," unable to distinguish friend from foe. Those corroded to 0% will become irreversibly manipulated puppets under your control.]

Shen Tian closed the talent panel.

it is good.

very good.

Does the Purple Spirit Clan dominate with spiritual power?

Then let them see what true mental dominance looks like.

Shen Tian closed his eyes and brought up the Kill Commander panel.

With a light swipe of the finger.

[Slaughtering Commander - Shared Talents]

[Shared Target: All members of the Jiangcheng Po Jun Division]

[Shared Talent: Abyss Observer (1%)]

【confirm. 】

An invisible wave spread out instantly from Shen Tian as the center.

All three thousand Po Jun Si warriors shuddered simultaneously.

They felt it.

In the depths of my consciousness, there seemed to be an invisible barrier.

Profound, deep, and unshakeable.

It was as if an invisible hand was enveloping their sea of ​​consciousness layer by layer.

Qin Zhenshan suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils dilating violently.

He could feel that his mental defenses had increased at least fivefold.

Qin Zhenshan was unaware of what had happened, his eyes filled with shock.

Shen Tian ignored everyone's reactions.

He looked at the panel.

Remaining kill points: 103,741.

One hundred thousand.

Shen Tian did not hesitate.

He poured all his mental energy into it.

[Consume 100,000 kill points to increase mental power?]

【confirm. 】

boom--

Shen Tian's sea of ​​consciousness was completely boiling at this moment.

The originally golden spiritual fire suddenly surged, its color rapidly changing from pure gold, with a faint purple-gold halo appearing at its edges.

The barrier of the fifth rank shattered like a thin sheet of paper under the violent infusion of 100,000 kill points.

Rank 6.

Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes.

Shen Tian stood up.

The martial artist realm at the early stage of the sixth rank.

A sixth-rank spiritual master.

Orange-tier talent: Abyss Observer.

Including the peerless sword saint, the immortal god-demon body, the lord of ten thousand tribulations thunder...

He looked towards the end of the distant wilderness, in the direction where the purple signal had disappeared.

The main force of the Purple Spirit Clan should be arriving soon.

Shen Tian stretched his neck, and his joints made a crisp cracking sound.

He suddenly laughed.

Ten thousand Purple Spirit Clan members.

How many kill points is it worth?
