I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 409: Chapter 355: Night Emperor’s Might, Demon Suppressing Celestial Punishment (Part 2)

Another share of evolution points and talent recorded.

From the start of the battle to its end, it was merely a matter of moments.

Three Tier Six demons were annihilated, even with the factors of attribute restraint, such a crushing victory sufficiently showcases the terror of the Holy Blood awakening.

"No wonder the Nine Great Holy Bloods could rule the Empire for thousands of years, the power of the Holy Blood is indeed terrifying."

Qin Tian couldn’t help but sigh. Without awakening the Holy Blood, one would never know the chasm-like gap between the Holy and Golden Bloodline, a gap that no Golden Bloodline can ever bridge.

A Holy Blood descendant with a sufficient bloodline concentration can easily slaughter more than five Tier-equal Golden Bloodline Spiritualists, and those below the Golden Bloodline are like ants before the Holy Blood.

Take, for instance, the three Tier Six demons before him. Their talents were all purple, equivalent to Silver Bloodline, and despite being a tier higher, they were killed in a matter of breaths. Even if they weren’t Dark Element demons, this time would just be extended by a few seconds at most.

Of course, not everyone in the Holy Blood clan can wield this power.

Some descendants have thin bloodline concentrations, their talents not even matching the geniuses within the Golden Bloodline; countless others can never awaken the Holy Blood in their lifetime, indistinguishable from ordinary people.

Qin Tian stood in the center of the Demon Cave, watching the howling demon horde below, he shouted in a low voice: "Demon King Domain, activate!"

The moment the words fell, darkness around him for thousands of meters thickened like ink.

The already dim Demon Cave plunged into total darkness, with only the dark gold imperial patterns flowing at the domain’s edge, like a moat encircling a royal city.

Within the domain, it seemed as if the gravity doubled instantly, and the charging demons abruptly halted, as if their limbs were bound by invisible shackles—the low-tier Skeleton Soldiers just raised their Bone Blades, then stumbled and knelt on the ground, their soul fires flickering violently; the ghouls, roaring and trying to pounce, found every step as heavy as a thousand pounds, their bodies as if filled with lead.

Even more despairing for them was the demonic qi within them was visibly draining away, as if forcibly extracted by this darkness. Tier Four demons’ claws lost their luster, Tier Five demons’ roars turned hoarse, and ghosts dissipated into wisps of blue smoke under the Night Emperor’s will.

"Is this... a new Demon King Domain?" Qin Tian felt the absolute control within the domain, a cold arc appearing on his lips. With a thought, the Shadow Control talent was instantly activated.

Shadows around him surged wildly according to his will.

First, dozens of pitch-black long whips shot from the ground, lashing like venomous snakes at the dense skeleton crowd. The whips carried a sharp whistle as they tore through the air, each strike shattering bones into fragments, scattering bone shards mixed with black earth.

Next, shadows in front of him coalesced into hundreds of short spears, their tips flickering with a cold, ominous light.

Qin Tian raised his hand and pointed, the short spears shot like a rainstorm at the flying demons in the air, piercing their wings with precision, pinning them to the rock walls, their anguished screams echoing within the domain.

Against the charging ghouls in clusters, shadows morphed into a massive war axe, the axe blade over ten feet wide, Qin Tian gripping the invisible handle and slashing down fiercely, the axe blade swept through, felling the ghouls like harvested wheat, bodies cleaved in two, black blood splattering on the dark gold imperial patterns of the domain, burnt away in an instant.

Kazik could no longer hold back, its scythe-like arm blades carving arcs of black-purple light in the darkness. Concealed by shadows, it weaved ghostly through the demon horde, each swing of its blades raised a trail of blood, Tier Four, even Tier Five demons were like paper, easily sliced in half before it.

Karsas’s Soul Scythe radiated a gray-white deathly glow with each swing raising a wave of soul fire. Demons struck by the Soul Scythe had their bodies instantly petrified, souls forcibly wrenched from within, transforming into light points flying into the Ten Thousand Souls Record.

The rustle of turning pages amidst screams was particularly clear, as if Death God tallying souls, soul power automatically condensed into dozens of small soul shields, blocking incoming magic missiles.

Jie La had also joined the fray, green vines wildly spreading, traversing the viscous darkness like giant serpents with life. The thorns on the vines flickered with black light, tangling demon limbs and squeezing until their bones shattered; some vines bore dark purple flowers at the tips, the emitted poison mist corroding demon scales instantly, making Tier Five demons writhing painfully on the ground.

Within the domain, roars, screams, and bone-cracking sounds intertwined into a symphony of despair.

The demons, suppressed by the domain, their speed drastically reduced, with energy within continuously depleting, stood powerless against Qin Tian’s unpredictable shadow weapons and the slaughter of the three summoned beasts.

Qin Tian, like a king in the dark, stood in the battlefield’s center, calmly manipulating shadows.

The shadows sometimes turned into sharp blades of rain, sometimes into heavy shields, sometimes lengthened into spears piercing the hearts of high-tier demons, and sometimes into chains binding struggling prey.

He could even have the shadows crawl along the demons’ own shadow, ripping them apart from the inside—this bizarre attack method made already terrified demons further crumble, many low-tier demons collapsed on the ground in fright, lacking even the courage to resist.

Minutes later, the last scream dissipated within the domain.

Qin Tian slowly retracted the Demon King Domain, viscous darkness receding like the tide, revealing a ravaged ground—where once stood a dense mass of demons now vanished without a trace, leaving only black blood and scattered bone shards, gradually purified by the domain’s lingering power.
