I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 408: Chapter 355: Night Emperor’s Might, Demon Suppressing Celestial Punishment

"Tier Five Nine Stars."

Qin Tian felt the surging spiritual energy within him, roaring like a raging black sea through his meridians.

The awakening of the Night Emperor’s bloodline not only gave his body and talent a complete transformation but also pushed his spiritual energy to the peak of Tier Five Nine Stars.

As for why he couldn’t break through to Tier Six instantly, it was mainly due to the "Nine Nether Thunder Brilliance Technique" he was cultivating—this dual-element cultivation technique of dark and thunder required a strict balance of energy; any single element being too strong would disrupt the delicate equilibrium of the spiritual energy within.

To breach the Tier Six gate, he must find the ultimate treasure of the Thunder Element to enhance the Power of Thunder, compensating for the shortfall.

Qin Tian estimated that this endeavor might have to wait until he returned to the Silver Gray Star to start.

Having broken through, it was natural to find some targets to test his combat power and get familiar with his newly awakened abilities.

Unfolding his spiritual sense, the range of perception increased several times over, and within a radius of hundreds of miles, heat sources flickered like fireflies, demonic qi flowed like water, even the brittle sound of skeleton joints rubbing and the ghastly gasping of ghouls were clearly discernible, weaving a three-dimensional biological map in his mind.

Qin Tian raised a hand, and the vines on the ground receded like a tide, transforming back into the Green Vine bracelet on his wrist; Kazik did not return to the Beast Taming Space, its scythe-like arm blades swinging excitedly, emitting a faint swishing sound as if urging for battle.

"Alright, this time I’ll fight alongside you."

Qin Tian lightly caressed Kazik’s cold shell with his fingertips, and black dark energy transformed into three ribbons, quietly linking him with Kazik and Karsas.

The next second, the Demon King’s Wings fluttered gently, leaving a faint afterimage on the spot as he soared into the sky.

"So fast..."

A trace of amazement flashed in Qin Tian’s eyes; he had not used Void Shuttling, merely flying naturally, yet the scenery below fled by like a revolving lantern, the speed so startling that he himself was astonished.

More incredible was that even at such high speed, there was no sound, not a whisper of wind, as if he had merged into the darkness.

Momentarily, his destination lay below.

It was at the edge of a rift spewing demonic qi like a fountain, where numerous skeletons and ghouls mixed with Tier Four and Tier Five demons formed a chaotic demon horde.

His figure had just appeared by the cliff edge when three Tier Six auras locked onto him like poisonous snakes, replete with undisguised malice and murderous intent.

Qin Tian scanned downward, spotting three formidable Tier Six demons: a Shadow Demon lurking in the crevice of darkness, its form like liquid ink, its contours indistinct; a Black-Scaled Giant Beast covered entirely in black scales, nostrils snorting fiery demonic qi, its footsteps causing the ground to tremble lightly; and a Corrupted Demon Mage wielding a white bone magic staff, much like the one he had slain before—at least to him, both rotting bodies looked the same.

Previously, dealing with three Tier Six demons would require him to first launch a sneak attack from the shadows, using Shadowstrike to eliminate one, then rely on Celestial Punishment Divine Thunder or Soul Devourer Flame to grapple with the remaining two, undoubtedly a tough battle.

But at this moment, with Holy Blood awakened and spiritual energy reaching Tier Five Nine Stars, he faced these three Tier Six Dark Element demons with ease.

Roar——!

The Black-Scaled Giant Beast made the first move, roaring as it charged like a battering ram; the Shadow Demon’s form flickered, instantly merging into the darkness and vanishing; the Demon Mage silently raised its staff, sending a black ripple spreading in the darkness like ink in water, silently enveloping Qin Tian.

A chilling sensation suddenly came from behind, as the Shadow Demon materialized, its darkness-condensed spikes piercing toward the back of his head with a sharp scream of tearing air.

Surrounded on three sides, Qin Tian’s face remained unmarred by panic, instead showcasing a serene smile.

In the next moment, a terrifying imperial pressure erupted from his body like a sudden rise of a dark moon, casting the surrounding darkness with a dignified golden edge.

"Eternal Night Dominator."

As his consciousness flowed, the Shadow Demon’s spike froze in mid-air, its internal dark energy turning muddy and viscous, even its thoughts slowed a beat; the charging Black-Scaled Giant Beast went weak in the limbs, its massive body staggering forward, and the expelled demonic qi congealed in the air; the Demon Mage’s black ripple hit a freeze three meters from Qin Tian, shattering completely.

Qin Tian slightly sidestepped, like a calm stroll through the dark, easily evading the three near-simultaneous attacks.

In this darkness, he was the emperor of all dark creatures, wielding control over their energy and life.

Swoosh!

In a flash, Qin Tian appeared atop the Black-Scaled Giant Beast’s head. He merely stepped down nonchalantly, and with a muffled "thud," the beast’s skull burst like a watermelon struck by a heavy hammer, bone-cracking mingling with the wet splattering of brain matter, and the massive corpse collapsed with its life force swiftly dissipating.

Then, he waved a hand, and the "Shadow Control" talent activated. From all directions in the darkness, numerous black chains emerged, like spirit snakes binding the Demon Mage, instantly wrapping it tight.

The chains tightened, snapping bones with a relentless crackling, ending the Demon Mage before it could utter a spell, its body torn apart by the entwining force, sending rotten flesh and fragments of bone flying.

The last Shadow Demon, under the suppression of "Eternal Night Dominator," had already lost most of its combat power; faced with the ensnaring chains, it merely struggled futilely before being securely bound.

Qin Tian couldn’t even bother with another glance, and with a mere thought, the chains drew the Shadow Demon’s body into the darkness.
