“Rank 5, Nine Stars.”Qin Tian felt the surging Spiritual Energy within him, like a turbulent black sea roaring through his meridians.The awakening of the Night Emperor Bloodline not only brought about a complete transformation and strengthening of his body and talents, but also naturally pushed his Spiritual Energy to the peak of Rank 5, Nine Stars.As for why he couldn't break through to Rank 6 in one go, it was mainly due to the Nine Nether Lightning Radiance Art he cultivated—this dual dark and lightning cultivation technique had strict requirements for energy balance; any overly strong element would disrupt the delicate equilibrium of Spiritual Energy within his body.To break through the door to Rank 6, he must find a lightning-element treasure to strengthen his lightning power and make up for this deficiency.Qin Tian estimated that this matter would probably have to wait until he returned to Silver Gray Star to be addressed.Since he had broken through, he naturally needed to find some targets to test his combat strength and familiarize himself with his new awakened abilities.His spiritual perception spread out, and his sensory range increased by several times. Within a radius of several hundred miles, heat sources flickered like fireflies, demonic energy flowed like water, and even the crisp sound of skeleton joints rubbing and the hoarse gasps 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; Kha'Zix did not return to the Beast Taming Space, his scythe-like arm blades excitedly waved, emitting a faint swishing sound, as if urging for battle.“Alright, I’ll bring you to fight alongside me this time.”Qin Tian's fingertips gently stroked Kha'Zix's cold carapace, and black dark energy transformed into three ribbons, subtly connecting him with Kha'Zix and Karthus.The next second, his Demon King Wings gave a slight tremor, leaving a faint afterimage where he stood as he shot up into the sky.“So fast!” A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Tian's eyes. He hadn't used Void Shuttle, merely simple flight, yet the scenery below him blurred past like a revolving lantern, a speed that even startled him.Even more astonishing was that such high-speed flight was completely silent, not even raising a breath of wind, as if he had merged with the darkness.A moment later, his destination was below.This was in front of a cracked demonic rift, where dense demonic energy spewed out like a fountain. A large number of skeletons and ghouls, mixed with Rank 4 and Rank 5 Demons, formed a chaotic demonic horde.As his figure appeared on the cliff edge, three Rank 6 auras locked onto him like venomous snakes, carrying undisguised killing intent and malice.Qin Tian looked down, and three Rank Six Demon were indeed present: a Shadow Demon hidden in the dark cracks, its form like flowing ink, its specific outline unclear; a giant beast covered in black scales, spewing scorching demonic energy from its nostrils, causing the ground to tremble slightly when its four limbs touched the earth; and a Corrupted Demon Mage, holding a bone staff, looking similar to the one he had previously slain—at least in his eyes, both rotten bodies looked the same.In the past, to deal with three Rank Six Demon, he would at least have to launch a sneak attack from the shadows first, using Hidden Kill to take down one, and then rely on Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning or Devouring Soul Flame to entangle with the remaining two, which would undoubtedly be a tough battle.But now, with his Sacred Blood awakened and his Spiritual Energy reaching Rank 5, Nine Stars, facing these three Rank 6 Dark-element Demons, he felt it would be as easy as turning his hand.Roar—!The Black-Scaled Giant Beast attacked first, roaring as it charged like a battering ram; the Shadow Demon's figure flickered, instantly merging into the darkness and disappearing; the Demon Mage silently raised its staff, and a black ripple, like ink dripping into clear water, silently spread in the darkness, enveloping Qin Tian.A bone-chilling coldness suddenly came from behind his head. The Shadow Demon had appeared behind him, its dark-condensed spikes whistling through the air, piercing straight towards the back of his head.Besieged on three sides, Qin Tian's face showed no trace of panic, instead, a calm, faint smile appeared.The next instant, a terrifying Emperor's might erupted from his body, like a dark moon suddenly rising, dyeing the surrounding darkness with a majestic golden edge.“Eternal Night's Sole Sovereign.”As his thoughts flowed, the Shadow Demon's spikes suddenly solidified in mid-air. The dark energy within its body seemed to have been mixed with mud, becoming viscous and sluggish, even its thoughts slowed by half a beat; the charging Black-Scaled Giant Beast's limbs went soft, its massive body leaning forward as if kneeling, the demonic energy it spewed condensing into a ball in the air; the Demon Mage's black ripple was even more as if frozen, completely dissipating three meters from Qin Tian.Qin Tian subtly shifted his body, as if strolling leisurely in the darkness, easily dodging the three attacks that arrived almost simultaneously.In this darkness, he was the emperor of all dark creatures, controlling their energy and their lives.Swish!With a flash, Qin Tian appeared above the Black-Scaled Giant Beast's head. He merely stomped down casually, and with a muffled “thud,” the giant beast's head was like a watermelon struck by a heavy hammer, the sound of bones shattering mixed with the wet splash of brain matter, and its massive body crashed to the ground, its life force instantly draining away.Immediately after, he raised a hand and activated his 【Shadow Control】 talent. Countless black chains suddenly emerged from the darkness in all directions, coiling around the Demon Mage like spiritual snakes, instantly binding it into a zongzi.The chains tightened more and more, the crisp sound of bones breaking was incessant, and before the Demon Mage could utter a spell, its body exploded under the chains' strangulation, rotten flesh and shattered bones splashing everywhere.The last Shadow Demon, already having lost most of its combat power under the suppression of “Eternal Night's Sole Sovereign,” merely struggled twice in vain against the coiling chains before being firmly locked down.Qin Tian didn't even bother to look at it again; with a thought, the chains carried the Shadow Demon's body into the darkness.Another evolution point and talent were added to his account.From the start of the battle to its end, only a few breaths had passed.Three Rank Six Demon had vanished. Even with the factor of elemental suppression, such an overwhelming victory was enough to demonstrate the terror of Sacred Blood awakening.“No wonder the Nine Great Sacred Bloodlines could rule the empire for thousands of years; the power of the Sacred Blood is still too terrifying.”Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh. Without awakening the Sacred Blood, one would never know the gap between Sacred Blood and Golden Bloodline, which was like an unbridgeable chasm that no Golden Bloodline could ever cross.A Sacred Blood descendant with a qualified bloodline concentration could easily slaughter five or more Spiritual Energy Users of the same rank with a Golden Bloodline. As for those below Golden Bloodline, they were like ants before the Sacred Blood.For example, these three Rank Six Demon in front of him, all had purple talents, equivalent to Silver-level bloodlines. Despite being one rank higher, they were killed by him within a few breaths. Even if they weren't Dark-element Demons, this time would merely be extended by a few seconds.Of course, not everyone in a Sacred Blood family could wield this power.Some descendants had thin bloodline concentrations, their talents not matching the geniuses among Golden Bloodlines; and a large number of clansmen never awakened their Sacred Blood throughout their lives, no different from ordinary people.Qin Tian stood in the center of the Demon Cave, looking at the roaring horde of Demons below. He let out a low cry: “Demon King Domain, open!”The moment his voice fell, with him as the center, the darkness within a radius of several thousand meters suddenly became viscous like ink.The already dim Demon Cave completely plunged into a lightless realm, with only dark golden Emperor patterns flowing at the edge of the domain, like a moat surrounding an imperial city.Within the domain, gravity seemed to instantly double. The surging Demons abruptly stiffened, as if their limbs were bound by invisible shackles—low-level skeleton soldiers had just raised their bone blades when they stumbled and knelt on the ground, their soul fires flickering violently; ghouls roared, trying to pounce, but found that every step they took was as heavy as a thousand jin, their bodies as heavy as if filled with lead.What made them even more desperate was that the demonic energy within their bodies was draining at a visible speed, as if being forcibly extracted by this darkness. The claws of Rank 4 Demons lost their luster, the roars of Rank 5 Demons became hoarse, and phantoms dissipated into wisps of smoke under the pressure of the Night Emperor's will.“Is this the new Demon King Domain?” Qin Tian felt the absolute control within the domain, and a cold arc curved on his lips.With a thought, his 【Shadow Control】 talent instantly activated.The surrounding shadows seemed to come alive, surging wildly according to his will.First, dozens of pitch-black long whips shot out from the ground, lashing out at the dense skeleton crowd like venomous snakes. The whips whistled through the air, each swing capable of shattering large areas of bone armor, pulverizing the skeleton soldiers, bone fragments mixing with black earth and splashing.Immediately after, shadows condensed into hundreds of short spears in front of him, their tips gleaming with a cold light.Qin Tian raised a hand and pointed, and the short spears shot like a rainstorm towards the flying Demons in the air, precisely piercing their wings and nailing them to the rock wall, their shrill screams echoing within the domain.To deal with the ghouls charging in a group, the shadow transformed into a giant battle axe, its blade several feet wide. Qin Tian gripped the invisible axe handle and chopped down fiercely. Where the axe blade passed, ghouls fell in swathes like harvested wheat, their bodies cut in half, black blood splattering on the dark golden Emperor patterns of the domain, instantly being scorched away.Kha'Zix had long been unable to restrain himself, his scythe-like arm blades carving black-purple streaks of light in the darkness. Using the cover of shadows, he moved through the demonic horde like a phantom, each swing of his blade bringing a spray of blood. Rank 4 and even Rank 5 Demons were like paper in front of him, easily split in half.Karthus's Soul Scythe, on the other hand, glowed with a grayish-white light of death. Every time he swung it, he could stir up a patch of soul fire. Demons struck by the Soul Scythe instantly stiffened, their souls forcibly pulled from their bodies, turning into specks of light and flying into the Book of Souls.The rustling of turning pages was remarkably clear amidst the screams, as if Death was counting the souls, and soul power automatically condensed into dozens of small soul shields, blocking incoming magic energy projectiles.Zyra had also joined the fray, her green vines spreading wildly, weaving through the viscous darkness like giant, living pythons. The thorns on the vines glowed black, coiling around the demons' limbs and constricting with force until their bones shattered. Some vine tips even blossomed into dark purple flowers, spewing poisonous mist that instantly corroded the demons' scales, causing even Rank 5 Demons to writhe in agony on the ground.Within the Domain, roars, screams, and the crunching of bones intertwined into a symphony of despair.Under the suppression of the Domain, the demons’ speed sharply decreased, their internal energy constantly draining. Facing Qin Tian’s ever-changing shadow weapons and the strangling attacks of his three summoned beasts, they were utterly defenseless.Qin Tian, like a monarch in the darkness, stood at the center of the battlefield, calmly manipulating the shadows.The shadows sometimes transformed into a rain of sharp swords, sometimes into thick shields, sometimes solidified into long spears piercing the hearts of high-level demons, and other times became chains binding struggling prey.He could even make the shadows climb along the demons' own shadows, tearing their bodies apart from the inside—this eerie attack method caused the already terrified demons to collapse further, with many low-level demons simply falling to the ground in fright, losing even the courage to resist.After more than ten minutes, the last scream dissipated within the Domain.Qin Tian slowly retracted his Demon King Domain, and the viscous darkness receded like a tide, revealing the ravaged ground—the once dense swarm of demons had vanished without a trace, leaving only black blood and shattered bone fragments, gradually purified by the lingering power of the Domain.Kha'Zix licked the blood from his arm blades, Karthus's Book of Souls radiated a full spiritual glow, and Zyra's vines swayed gently, as if stretching.Meanwhile, the demonic rift that had been continuously spewing demonic energy was now visibly shrinking. Deprived of demonic energy, the dark energy at the rift’s edges rapidly dispersed, eventually turning into a wisp of smoke and vanishing into the air, as if it had never existed.Qin Tian’s eyes were deep. Feeling the slightly boiling dark energy within him and the surging evolution points on his system panel, he nodded in satisfaction. 【Shadow Control】 combined with 【Demon King Domain】 made clearing Demon Caves of this level as easy as taking something from one’s pocket, especially in the already dim and dark Demonic Realm, where their power was amplified to the extreme.“Still not enough,” Qin Tian sighed. The battle just now wasn't even a warm-up. The three Rank Six Demon were too weak; they failed to make him feel the thrill of surging blood or force out the full power of his Night Emperor strength.He simply maximized his perception, spreading it out like a giant net in the darkness. Soon, a powerful aura, far exceeding that of the previous demons, entered his perception range—it was the strongest presence within a hundred-kilometer radius, a peak Rank 6 Demon, perfect as his touchstone.Whoosh—the darkness flowed like water. Qin Tian, with Kha'Zix and the other two beasts, transformed into a shadow and sped towards the source of the aura.Not long after, a figure emerged from the darkness ahead—it was that peak Rank 6 Demon.This was a “Night Shadow Demon Hawk” resembling a night owl, covered in streamlined black bone armor. The edges of its exposed bone shoulder and shin guards were serrated, gleaming with a cold, hard light in the darkness.It had two pairs of membranous wings on its back, with dark purple vein-like patterns on the membranes. When retracted, they clung tightly to its spine, but when spread, they were like two sharp scythes. Its head was bird-shaped but featherless, made of smooth black bone, with two clusters of eerie blue soul fire flickering in its eye sockets. Its beak was curved and sharp like an eagle’s, and its talons were four-toed, backward-hooked claws, with black corrosive liquid condensed at their tips.Most terrifying was its coccyx, which extended into a half-meter-long bone spike, entwined with twisted dark energy currents, clearly a deadly weapon.Before Qin Tian could fully approach, the Night Shadow Demon Hawk abruptly turned its head, its eerie blue soul fire contracting sharply, and a chilling aura instantly locked onto Qin Tian.It seemed surprised by this self-delivered prey but showed no hesitation.Hoo!A sharp shriek pierced the darkness. The Night Shadow Demon Hawk’s two pairs of membranous wings flapped violently, its body transforming into a pure black lightning bolt, rushing towards Qin Tian first with a shriek that tore through the air.Its speed was incredibly fast, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air, making it almost impossible to discern its physical form.“Good timing!”Excitement instantly ignited in Qin Tian’s eyes; this was the opponent he wanted.He did not use the suppression of Eternal Night Supremacy, even actively reining in some of his Imperial aura, meeting the attack with only the pure speed granted by his Night Emperor Bloodline.Boom!The two figures collided suddenly in the darkness, but there was no earth-shattering roar, only a dense, continuous “clatter” sound—the sharp clash of bone armor against fist wind and claws tearing through the air.Qin Tian’s figure flickered like a ghost, each change of direction at an incredible angle, avoiding the Night Shadow Demon Hawk’s tricky claw strikes and tail stabs. The Night Shadow Demon Hawk, however, pursued relentlessly like a guided missile, its membranous wings flapping so fast they blurred into afterimages, its claws and beak attacking with almost no gaps, compressing Qin Tian’s dodging space to the extreme.In the darkness, only two blurry black figures could be seen moving at high speed, colliding, and separating. Occasionally, black claw glows and golden fist imprints would flash for an instant, only to be immediately swallowed by the darkness.Kha'Zix and the other two beasts wisely stayed back, merely keeping watch from a distance—in a speed duel of this level, rash intervention would only be a hindrance.The battle gradually intensified.The Night Shadow Demon Hawk’s attacks grew more ferocious. The dark energy currents generated by its flapping membranous wings formed small storms, attempting to disrupt Qin Tian’s movements.Qin Tian, however, became more excited with each blow. The physical strength brought by his Night Emperor Bloodline allowed him to withstand the opponent’s talons, and each collision left clear fist imprints on the opponent’s bone armor.He deliberately created an opening. Just as the Night Shadow Demon Hawk’s talons were about to strike, his body suddenly sank, and at the same time, his right fist clenched, dark energy furiously gathering and compressing on his knuckles.“Abyssal Demon Suppression Fist—Demon Subduing Heavenly Punishment!”Qin Tian roared, his right fist, carrying the power to shatter the air, suddenly blasted upwards.There was no dazzling light on his fist, only dark energy condensed to the extreme, yet at the moment of the punch, it triggered a violent resonance of the surrounding dark elements, as if an invisible divine power had descended.By the time the Night Shadow Demon Hawk realized something was wrong, it was too late. Its talons were only an inch from Qin Tian’s head, but it was struck head-on in the chest by a fist force imbued with majestic heavenly might.This punch did not erupt with an earth-shattering roar, only a heavy, almost stagnant pressure—the dark energy on the fist, condensed to the extreme, faintly gleamed with dark gold patterns; that was the power of “Heavenly Punishment” infused with the will to suppress demons.The moment the fist force touched the Night Shadow Demon Hawk’s body, it did not tear as expected, but rather like a heavy hammer sinking into a swamp, carrying an irresistible suppressive force, it madly permeated through the ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) gaps in its bone armor.“Hoo—!”The Night Shadow Demon Hawk let out a shriek of unprecedented agony. This was no longer a roar of pain, but fear from the depths of its soul. The dark energy surging within its body, upon contact with the fist force, violently melted away like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun. The demonic energy, representing destruction and chaos, seemed to have met its natural bane before the words “Demon Subduing,” and began to scatter uncontrollably.Crack—!Crisp bone-cracking sounds rang out consecutively, yet they carried a strange sense of “purification.”The bone armor on the Night Shadow Demon Hawk’s chest did not shatter and fly apart, but rather peeled away layer by layer under the erosion of the dark gold patterns, turning into powder. The moment the fist force penetrated its body, its demonic core suddenly lit up, but in the next second, it was crushed by an invisible force. The dissipated energy, upon contact with the lingering power of the fist, was completely purified into nothingness.Most terrifying were the eerie blue soul fires in its eye sockets. Those clusters of soul fire, representing the demon’s origin, flickered violently as the fist force surged in, as if firmly locked by an invisible chain. They visibly dimmed, eventually turning into two wisps of smoke, swept away by the fist force and completely annihilated in the darkness.The massive body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the black earth. Yet, the stirred dust contained no trace of demonic energy—this peak Rank 6 Night Shadow Demon Hawk not only had its body blasted with a fist-sized hole that went clear through, but even its most fundamental demonic energy was completely erased by “Demon Subduing Heavenly Punishment,” as if it had never existed.Qin Tian slowly withdrew his fist. The residual dark gold patterns on his knuckles quietly faded, leaving only a heavy, profound sensation. The “Demon Subduing” characteristic contained in this fist technique had a natural counter-effect on demons, much like sunlight to shadows, inherently carrying the meaning of judgment and termination.This was the Demon Subduing martial art from the Demon Suppression Abyss. Abyssal Demon Suppression Fist was a Silver-level martial art with only three forms, but against demons, it was more powerful than even a Golden-level martial skill.Even a peak Rank 6 Silver-level demon was no match for him. Now, among Rank 6, only those with Sacred Blood and the most top-tier Golden Bloodline geniuses could truly contend with him.Next, Qin Tian continued to lead his three beasts in sweeping through the Demonic Realm, focusing on destroying Demon Caves with demonic rifts.His nearly depleted evolution points increased at a considerable rate, and Qin Tian also fully mastered the power of his Night Emperor Bloodline through rounds of combat.However, just as he was enjoying the thrill of the kill, his eyes suddenly narrowed.“This is bad. Li Qi is in trouble.”
