The Domain slowly dissipated, and the residual Soul Devouring Flames, like greedy tongues of fire, incinerated all the demon corpses on site, leaving behind only scorched black earth.Karthus held the Scythe of Death, his bony fingers lightly turning the pages of the Myriad Souls Tome. Streaks of ethereal blue or pale white light points danced and swirled between the pages, eventually coalescing into miniature soul shadows. Each light shadow represented a harvested soul.These souls would undergo tempering and transformation by death energy within the Myriad Souls Tome, ultimately becoming an absolutely obedient death army, the sharpest blade in Karthus's hand.Qin Tian looked down at the flickering system panel, watching the rapidly soaring evolution point numbers and the dozens of newly added talent entries. A satisfied smile played on his lips.Though this Demon Cave, guarded by a demon mage, only had one Rank 6 Demon, its subordinate demon forces numbered as high as twenty thousand. Low-tier skeleton soldiers and ghouls accounted for the vast majority. While the evolution points provided by each individual were meager, accumulating them was like building a tower from grains of sand. The total amount was significantly more generous than the sum he had gained from sweeping multiple Demon Caves in the past few days."A few more places like this, and I'll have enough evolution points for the Great Wilderness Battle Body," Qin Tian lightly tapped the panel, his gaze quickly sweeping over the talent list before settling on two entries.The first was the purple talent 【Dark Corpse Control Art】 from the Rank 6 Demon Mage.【Name】 Dark Corpse Control Art (Purple)【Type】 Active Talent 【Description】 Using dark energy as a guide, inject it into a dead creature to transform it into an "Umbral Puppet." The puppet retains some of its former strength (depending on the integrity of the corpse), its wounds are forcibly sealed by dark energy, and it can be controlled remotely for combat; alternatively, the puppet's body can be detonated to release a dark shockwave, dealing area-of-effect corrosive damage to surrounding enemies.A sharp glint flashed in Qin Tian's eyes. This was undoubtedly a signature killing move of necromancers, a tool capable of forming "an army of one" on the battlefield.Especially when dealing with large numbers of enemies like insectoids or cannon fodder beasts, controlling a horde of puppets for a frontal charge, supplemented by self-detonation tactics, would be enough to instantly tear apart the enemy's formation.The second was a blue talent 【Damage Transfer】 from a special type of ghoul.【Name】 Damage Transfer (Blue)【Type】 Active Talent 【Description】 Using oneself as a medium, forcibly transfer negative statuses and 30% of injuries from a designated target to oneself.Qin Tian stroked his chin, lost in thought.Ghouls with this talent were clearly cultivated as "consumables" to help high-tier demons bear fatal injuries. But for him, this could entirely be used as an alternative divine healing skill: a teammate's potentially fatal negative status, transferred to him, would be instantly dispelled by the Great Wilderness Battle Body's Domination (Overlord Body) effect; even severe injuries could be easily endured with his formidable recovery ability."Very good talents."Qin Tian chuckled softly, merging these two talents with his body.Then, his spiritual sense spread out like a fine spiderweb, sweeping over a hundred-mile radius of darkness, inch by inch. After confirming there were no hidden threats, Qin Tian slowly reined in his aura and sat cross-legged on the black earth.Finally, it was time for the core of his journey—the ultimate evolution of the Night Demon King Bloodline.A flash of silver light, and Kha'Zix's figure appeared beside him like a phantom. His black-purple scythe limbs trembled slightly, every blade armor raised, entering a state of maximum alert.The green vines on his wrist suddenly erupted, hundreds of thick tendrils growing wildly around Qin Tian, instantly weaving an impenetrable dome. The surface of the vines glowed with a black light, originating from the same source as the darkness, preventing even the slightest energy fluctuation from leaking out.Karthus stood on the other side, clutching his bone scythe, the Myriad Souls Tome suspended in the air, death aura overflowing as its pages turned.The three summoned beasts guarded in a triangular formation. Unless a Rank 7 Demon King personally arrived, any demons attracted by the commotion would only become their nourishment."It's starting."Qin Tian took a deep breath, looking at the orange-glowing 【Night Demon King】 talent orb on the system panel. Without hesitation, he tapped it, and ten million evolution points, like a bursting dam, poured into the orb.Buzz! The orange orb suddenly lit up, its color deepening to dark orange. The next second, a violent force abruptly exploded within his body. His bones emitted crisp "cracking" sounds, as if countless small hammers were forging them in unison, their density soaring at a visible rate; muscle fibers were forcibly torn and stretched by this force, then reorganized at an even faster pace. Every fiber became as tough as steel wire, yet contained explosive elasticity.Qin Tian subconsciously activated the Nine Nether Lightning Radiance Art. The moment the cultivation art began to operate, the surrounding dark energy found an outlet, frantically surging into his limbs and bones.The dark spiritual energy within his body, guided by the cultivation art, erupted like ignited fuel, boiling violently. It surged through his blood vessels; wherever it passed, the vessel walls were coated with an ethereal glow, their capacity instantly doubling.He could clearly feel his spiritual energy constantly rising: Rank 5 Four-Star, Four-Star Mid-tier, Four-Star High-tier—it finally stopped at the peak of Rank 5 Four-Star.But this was not enough. Qin Tian stared at the still stubborn dark orange orb, injecting another ten million evolution points.Boom!The orb emitted a deafening hum, the chaotic currents within it churning wildly, as if an ancient behemoth was about to break free from its shell. A more turbulent energy, like a tsunami, swept through his entire body. This time, the power was no longer confined to muscles, bones, and flesh, but permeated his internal organs. Each heartbeat gushed out dark-golden energy waves, and the inhaled dark elements were transformed into pure spiritual energy by the Nine Nether Lightning Radiance Art and integrated into his body.The Demon King Wings on his back unfurled uncontrollably. Intricate demon patterns appeared on the wing membranes, flowing and swirling as energy was injected, as if coming alive. The dark spiritual energy within his body, propelled by the cultivation art, completely ran wild, creating a raging tide in his meridians, impacting every blocked node, emitting "crackling" explosions."Ugh—" A muffled groan escaped Qin Tian's throat, not from pain, but from the bloating sensation of overly abundant power.Under the high-speed operation of the Nine Nether Lightning Radiance Art, his spiritual energy level soared wildly: Rank 5 Five-Star, Six-Star, only slowing down slightly at the peak of Six-Star.But that barrier leading to Sacred Blood remained impregnable."Still not enough—" A fierce glint flashed in Qin Tian's eyes, and he slammed in the last ten million evolution points.Three enormous bangs almost merged into one line. The orange orb, under the extreme energy impact, suddenly shattered!In an instant, a terrifying energy beyond imagination erupted from the orb's remnants, like the singularity at the beginning of the universe, carrying the aura of destruction and creation, frantically surging into Qin Tian's limbs and bones.The Nine Nether Lightning Radiance Art automatically operated to its extreme, forming a giant dark vortex around him. Dark energy from a hundred-mile radius was forcibly pulled in, frantically pouring into his body through his seven orifices and pores.His bones emitted a dragon-like hum, their density instantly soaring tenfold. Dark-golden imperial patterns appeared on their surface, as if forged from star cores; muscle fibers were completely torn apart and then reorganized into a higher form under the catalysis of dark energy. Every muscle bundle contained the power to shatter mountains, causing a sonic boom with a slight movement.Most astonishing was the dark spiritual energy within his body—under the refining of the Nine Nether Lightning Radiance Art, the originally boiling energy now transformed into a liquid torrent, surging through brand new meridians. Wherever it passed, the meridian walls were coated with a thick spiritual membrane, their capacity skyrocketing dozens of times.The spiritual energy level value jumped like crazy: Rank 5 Seven-Star, Eight-Star, Nine-Star!The moment his spiritual energy settled at the peak of Rank 5 Nine-Star, the spiritual energy torrent within Qin Tian's body suddenly paused, then exploded, transforming into countless streaks of light that permeated every one of his cells.Imperial patterns, originating from the same source as the Demon King Wings, appeared on his skin, emitting an aura of supreme dominion as they circulated; his eyes completely transformed into two dark moons, with the flow of the galaxy reflected in his pupils. With just a glance, the surrounding dark elements retreated like a tide.The Sacred Blood completely awakened, and a terrifying aura emanated from Qin Tian's body—it was an imperial pressure that transcended all dark existences, as if a Night Emperor, who had slept for eons, had suddenly awakened.Within a hundred-mile radius, the demons that had been wandering in the darkness instantly froze. Whether they were Rank 3 ghouls, Rank 5 Night Stalkers, or even Rank 6 Demon Generals, the energy within their bodies trembled violently and uncontrollably, as if they had encountered their natural nemesis."Ow!"A clawed demon, tearing at rotten flesh, let out a terrified roar, its limbs going limp as it collapsed to the ground. The demonic energy within it dissipated like a receding tide, not even daring to look up; the distant skeleton legions fell into disarray, their soul fires flickering violently, weapons clattering to the ground. They all bowed neatly in the direction of Qin Tian, like subjects prostrating before their king; further away, groups of specters fled frantically, yet were confined in place by an invisible pressure, only able to emit desperate whimpers, their soul forms constantly fading under the imperial aura's wash.The dark elements within a hundred-mile radius frantically converged at this moment, but then froze a hundred meters around Qin Tian, as if subjects prostrating before their king.His aura was no longer a violent Demon King's pressure, but had settled into a profound imperial demeanor—an absolute authority that transcended all dark existences. Even Karthus couldn't help but lower his head, his soul scythe trembling slightly, as if in homage.Qin Tian slowly clenched his fist, his fingertips tracing a dark-golden trajectory. The dark elements in the air, as if at his command, condensed into a small sword an inch long.He could clearly feel that with a single thought, he could mobilize the power of darkness within a hundred-mile radius. He glanced at the system panel and murmured:"This is—the power of the Night Emperor."Among the talent group, a golden orb stood above all others.【Name】 Night Emperor (Gold)【Type】 Composite Talent 【Description】 You have transcended the realm of the Night Master, ascending to the Imperial Throne of Night. The Night Demon Bloodline has sublimated to its ultimate domain. Your body carries cosmic dark mysteries. In darkness, all attributes surge by 300%, and your aura concealment reaches perfection, completely merging with darkness, making it difficult to detect: you can freely adjust your body temperature to perfectly match the surrounding environment, your perception range expands exponentially, allowing you to perceive every subtle flow of heat and blood qi, and energy fluctuations within range, even predicting the target's next move and precisely distinguishing magnetic field changes. When locking onto a bloodline target, the power within your body will unleash a dark tide, instantly boosting your speed by 300%, transforming you into a deadly phantom traversing shadow rifts, ignoring some physical obstructions.Active:1. Apostle Dominion: The upper limit on the number and quality of Night Demon Apostles that can be transformed and carried is greatly increased. Absolute mental control is upgraded to soul branding, giving you absolute control over the life and death of apostles: you can perfectly share the perceptions and vision of all apostles, building a comprehensive, omni-directional battlefield information network, and can temporarily inject your own power into apostles' bodies, greatly enhancing their combat strength for a short period.2. Demon King Wings: Unfurl the Emperor-grade Demon King Wings, boosting speed by 800%; during flight, the dark power in your wake, like maggots to bone, erodes and shatters all material and energy defenses.3. Phantom Demon Clone: Can condense hundreds of powerful Demon King clones. Each clone possesses 50% of the main body's physical strength and has independent authorization to use some active abilities; clones and the main body can instantly swap positions, perfectly coordinating to launch elusive and fatal combined attacks, disrupting enemy judgment at will.4. Demon King Domain: Activate an exclusive Emperor-grade domain. Within the domain, eternal night descends, and dark elements condense into tangible fluid: your own all attributes are additionally increased by 100% within this domain, Night Demon Apostles' strength increases by 50% within the domain, and they gain rapid dark energy regeneration; enemies entering the domain will have ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) their movements restricted by dark laws, their speed reduced by 60%, their spiritual energy and magic continuously devoured by dark elements, their health rapidly draining, and they will simultaneously suffer a mental Impact (impact) from "Night Emperor's Pressure," causing those with weak wills to directly collapse.5. Nightmare Shapeshift: Not only can you freely change physical characteristics such as body shape, face, hairstyle, and voice, but you can also perfectly simulate the target's aura and spiritual energy fluctuations.6. Shadow Control: Absolute control over all shadows around you. Shadows can be condensed into weapons, shields, chains, spikes, etc., of any form. Their hardness and sharpness far surpass any divine weapon in the world, and they possess the characteristic of devouring energy; you can also sneak into the target's own shadow, achieving perfect concealment and surprise attacks, or directly tear the target's shadow, causing equivalent damage and soul shock to their main body.7. Eternal Night Supremacy: In a dark environment, you can exert absolute suppression over all dark-type targets—forcibly sealing the dark energy within them and preventing them from drawing any dark energy from the outside world. "Night Emperor."Qin Tian silently recited this title, symbolizing the pinnacle of darkness. From Night Demon King to Night Emperor, it was not merely a change in appellation, but a transformation from master to emperor, an eternal mark of the dark laws etched within his body.He slowly closed his eyes, his fingertips tracing the dark-golden imperial patterns flowing on his arm, feeling the surging black dark energy within his body.Every inch of muscle beneath his skin emitted a faint hum, the sound of cells constantly vitalizing under the nourishment of the dark origin. The speed that once required full exertion to achieve could now be effortlessly realized with a mere thought; the heavy punch that previously required charging could now unleash the power to shatter mountains with a casual strike.Qin Tian gently clenched his fist. The moment his knuckles collided, the surrounding dark elements automatically converged into a miniature vortex.Every part of this body had been completely reshaped by the Sacred Blood: bone density had increased tenfold compared to when he had the Golden Bloodline, and the dark-golden imperial patterns on the surface were like natural defensive runes, enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Rank 6 Demon; his blood had transformed into a dark-golden energy fluid, its circulation speed increased a hundredfold, capable of instantly delivering dark energy to his limbs and bones; even his pores could autonomously inhale and exhale dark energy, completing the equivalent of several hours of cultivation in a single breath."This is the power of Sacred Blood—" Qin Tian opened his eyes, a trace of shock flashing within them.Only now did he truly understand that between a Golden Bloodline and Sacred Blood, there lay an insurmountable chasm.The Golden Bloodline was an enhancement of the body, while Sacred Blood was a complete sublimation of life form: the Golden Bloodline allowed one to transcend mortals, while Sacred Blood allowed one to touch the edge of laws.Just like now, with a single thought, the black dark energy within his body could transform into an indestructible shield, or an unstoppable blade; if he wished, he could even transform himself into pure dark energy, freely traversing shadows.This level of control had long surpassed the scope of "enhancement," reaching the level of "wielding" dark laws.Qin Tian slowly stretched his body, the Demon King Wings on his back gently flapping, the energy ripples they created causing subtle folds in space.He knew that from this moment on, he had reached a height unattainable by all Golden Bloodline holders. This was not an accumulation of quantity, but a qualitative leap, the glory bestowed by the primordial Sacred Blood, belonging exclusively to the Night Emperor.
