I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 405: Chapter 354: Holy Blood—Night Emperor (Gold)

The domain gradually dissipated, and the remaining Soul Devourer Flames, like greedy tongues of fire, burned all the demon corpses on the scene to ashes, leaving only a ground littered with scorched black soil.

Karsas held the Death God’s Scythe, and with a gentle twist of his bone-fingers, the Ten Thousand Souls Record flipped through its pages. Ghostly blue and pale white light dots danced and whirled between the pages, eventually solidifying into miniature soul shadows—each light shadow represented a harvested soul body.

These soul bodies will undergo transformation and refinement by death energy within the Ten Thousand Souls Record, ultimately turning into an absolutely obedient Death Army, becoming the sharpest blade in Karsas’ hand.

Qin Tian looked down at the system interface, eyeing the numbers of Evolution Points that had suddenly surged, and the addition of dozens of new talents in the list, a satisfied curve hung on his lips.

This demon mage-guarded Demon Cave, though only possessing a Tier Six in battle strength, commanded a demon count of twenty thousand—mostly comprised of low-tier Skeleton Soldiers and Ghouls. Though each provided meager Evolution Points, when combined, the total was substantially richer than the sum he had amassed from sweeping through Demon Caves over the past days.

“Finding a few more such places, and the Evolution Points for the Desolate Battle Body could be accumulated.” Qin Tian tapped the interface lightly with his fingertip, his gaze swiftly scanning the talent list, finally settling on two items.

The first was the Purple Talent from a Tier Six demon mage—Dark Puppetry.

[Name] Dark Puppetry (Purple)

[Type] Active Talent

[Introduction] Using dark energy as a guide, it is injected into the body of a dead being, transforming it into a “Shadow Puppet.” The puppet retains part of its pre-death abilities (dependent on the condition of the corpse), wounds are forcibly bonded by dark energy, can be remotely controlled for combat; can also detonate the puppet’s corpse, releasing a dark shockwave, causing area corrosion damage to surrounding enemies.

Qin Tian’s eyes flashed with a keen light. Undoubtedly, this is a signature kill move of necromancers, a battlefield tool that could be called “an army in one person.”

Especially when dealing with hordes of Insect Race and fodder beast soldiers, controlling a puppet troop to charge head-on, supplemented by self-destruct strategies, could instantly tear through the opposing formation.

The second was the Blue Talent from a special Ghoul—Damage Transfer.

[Name] Damage Transfer (Blue)

[Type] Active Talent

[Introduction] Using oneself as a medium, forcibly transfers three-tenths of the negative state and damage from the designated target to oneself.

Qin Tian rubbed his chin, deep in thought.

The Ghoul possessing this talent was evidently cultivated as “consumables”—used to share deadly wounds for high-tier demons. But for him, this could be completely treated as an alternative healing divine technique: lethal negative states on teammates, transferred to him, would be instantly dissolved by the Overlord Body effect of the Desolate Battle Body; even if it were heavy injuries, his formidable recovery ability could easily endure.

“A quite decent talent.”

Qin Tian chuckled lightly and fused these two talents with his body.

Afterward, his Spiritual Sense unfolded like a dense spider web, meticulously sweeping over the hundred-mile radius of darkness, confirming no hidden threats remained, Qin Tian slowly faded his aura, sitting cross-legged on the scorched earth.

Finally, he reached the core of his journey—Ultimate Evolution of the Night Demon King Bloodline.

Silver light flashed, Kazik’s shadow appeared beside him like a specter, the black-purple scythe limbs slightly trembling, each blade armor stood erect, entering highest alert status.

On his wrist, the Green Vine suddenly erupted, hundreds of thick vines grew madly centered on Qin Tian, instantly weaving into an impenetrable dome, the vine surfaces flowing with the black light of darkness origin, even the slightest energy fluctuation could not leak outside.

Karsas stood silently on the other side holding the bone scythe, the Ten Thousand Souls Record hovering in the air, death aura spilling from its flipping pages.

The three summoned beasts formed a triangular protective formation, unless a Tier Seven Demon King was present, any demon lured by breakthrough noise would only become their nourishment.

“It begins.”

Qin Tian took a deep breath, gazing at the system interface’s Orange-glowing Night Demon King Talent Light Sphere, without any hesitation, he tapped it, injecting ten million evolution points like a breached flood into the light sphere.

Buzz——

The orange light sphere suddenly brightened, its color turned deep orange, the next second, a violent force exploded within him, bones crackling sound like “crack-crack,” as if countless little hammers were simultaneously forging, density skyrocketing visibly; muscle fibers forcibly torn and elongated by this force, reorganized at even greater speed, each fiber becoming as tough as steel wire, yet imbued with explosive elasticity.

Qin Tian instinctively operated the Nine Nether Thunder Brilliance Technique, as soon as the cultivation technique activated, the surrounding dark energy found an outlet, pouring crazily into his limbs and bones.

Within him, the dark spiritual energy guided by the cultivation technique ignited like fuel, boiling suddenly, rushing along the veins, its passage plating the vessel walls with a layer of faint glow, instantly doubling its carrying capacity.

He could distinctly sense the spiritual energy continuously rising—Tier Five Four Stars, Four Stars Mid-tier, Four Stars High-tier…finally halted at Tier Five Four Stars Peak.

But it wasn’t enough. Qin Tian stared at the still adamant deep orange light sphere, injecting another ten million evolution points.

Boom!

The light sphere emitted a deafening hum, its internal chaotic airflow surging madly, as if a head of Ancient Giant Beast was about to hatch. More tumultuous energy swept through his entire body like a tsunami, this time, the force wasn’t limited to muscles and bones, it permeated into his organs—each heartbeat spurted dark golden energy waves, absorbed dark elements transformed by the Nine Nether Thunder Brilliance Technique into refined spiritual energy, integrated into the body.
