NOVEL NEXT chapter 129 - Night Devil (Orange)
After an unknown amount of time, in the barren forest, a pair of eyes slowly opened.
"I'm not dead."
Qin Tian struggled to support his body, looking around. The once lush and dense forest surrounding him now seemed to have been drained of vitality, becoming withered and decayed.
He quickly examined his physical condition again. Shreds of clothing were scattered on the ground, the previously wildly growing black hair was gone. However, strange demonic patterns extended from his chest to his limbs. His body was weak and powerless, and in his mind, his soul was surrounded by corrupted energy.
He felt completely ruined, unable to do anything.
"But it's okay, at least I survived."
Qin Tian comforted himself. Before, he thought he was certainly going to die, but in the end, his life was preserved.
As long as he could survive, there was hope of healing himself.
"It seems that the final action saved me."
Qin Tian opened the system panel. Just as he expected, after investing over 700,000 evolution points into the 【Night Demon】, the deep purple light sphere finally completed its final step of evolution, turning into a faint orange light sphere.

In addition, 【Divine Authority of Spirit】 can reduce soul damage by 90%, allowing his soul to be preserved amidst the pollution without losing his sanity.
At the same time, an inconspicuous talent, 【Spirit Essence Healing】, allowed him to frantically absorb the ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) life essence of nearby plants while unconscious.
Under multiple coincidences, he managed to survive this deadly crisis.
Looking up, the ghostly face on the clouds had disappeared. Qin Tian shakily stood up, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Damn, this time I really sacrificed myself for others."
Shortly after, a flying vehicle descended over the forest. Yan Qing jumped down from the flying vehicle and stood steadily in front of Qin Tian.
"Qin Tian, are you alright?"
Yan Qing asked with concern. Just now, he had received a distress call from Qin Tian. In the video, Qin Tian's complexion was very poor,
His lips were pale, as if he had suffered a severe injury.
Originally, he was dealing with important post-disaster matters and thought that since Qin Tian was safe, he could just send a subordinate to pick him up.
However, Qin Tian said in the video that he had destroyed the Xuehai Grand Formation among the four evil god formations, but was now suffering from a backlash.
After understanding this situation, he immediately dropped everything he was doing and rushed over at the fastest speed.
"Officer Yan."
Qin Tian slowly pulled open his clothes, revealing the strange and complex demonic patterns on his chest, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his mouth:
"I'm in big trouble."
He didn't know what exactly had happened to him and had no idea how to treat it. In his helplessness, he could only contact Yan Qing, hoping the knowledgeable Officer Yan could point him in the right direction.
"What is this?"
Yan Qing looked at the demonic patterns on Qin Tian's chest, his body jolted. He was clearly startled. These patterns were truly bizarre; just looking at them made him feel his hair stand on end.
"Even you don't know?"
Qin Tian's smile became even more bitter.
"Don't rush, tell me first, what exactly did you go through?" Yan Qing said in a deep voice.
Qin Tian was silent for a moment. To survive, he finally told the truth.
From arriving at Xingyue City, contacting Li Qi, entering the blood pool through a teleportation array, absorbing blood energy, detonating the underground culvert, being pursued by the Black-Robed Man, to his final physical mutation.
There were almost no hidden parts in the entire process; he even talked about the ability of the Gate of Black Void.
After listening, Yan Qing was inwardly shocked. He hadn't expected that this evil god ritual, which had almost annihilated the entire continent, was actually destroyed by the Qin Tian in front of him.
"Officer Yan, I'm very sorry for hiding some things from you before," Qin Tian said apologetically.
"Heh, I knew long ago that you kid definitely had secrets."
Yan Qing said with a light chuckle, "A clone soldier only a few months old could actually wipe out a Xingdao (Star Pirates) group led by a fifth-order vampire. From that moment on, I knew you were definitely hiding something."
"Tell me, how did you obtain your bloodline power and the ability to traverse space?"
Qin Tian paused, then slowly said:
"To be honest with you, at that time, I was bitten by a vampire."
Hearing this, Yan Qing's expression remained unchanged. He knew Qin Tian hadn't finished.
Someone bitten and transformed by a vampire would be absolutely loyal to their higher-ranking bloodline. It would be impossible to kill that Xingdao (Star Pirates) group. "Before being bitten by the vampire, I once accidentally consumed a fruit. The power of this fruit merged with the power of the blood race, ultimately shaping a different kind of bloodline."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Tian's two canines suddenly elongated, turning into a pair of fangs. Black wings unfolded behind him, their edges sharp as knives, emitting a shocking dark energy.
"I named this bloodline—Night Demon."
Yan Qing's eyes narrowed, his gaze sweeping over every part of Qin Tian like a knife. Finally, his brows slightly relaxed.
Indeed, this bloodline is much more powerful than that of an ordinary vampire.
It must be said, this kid Qin Tian really has some good fortune on him.
