NOVEL NEXT chapter 320 - Kha'Zix Awakens
"Life's Demise—that name truly isn't wrong!" Qin Tian exclaimed, never imagining that the Dragon Turtle Demon would possess such a disgusting talent. Not only could it reflect attacks, but it could also take an enemy down with it.
His raw strength was inferior to the Dragon Turtle Demon's, so the Dragon Turtle Demon's death state was fully applied to him.
Fortunately, he had the Great Desolate Indestructible Blood Lock, otherwise he would have really been taken out.
He had killed hundreds of demons just now, but unfortunately, the talents he acquired were all blue or # Nоvеlight # below. They didn't seem very useful at the moment, so he threw them all into the Talent Recycle Bin.
But these two talents definitely had to be kept.
The orb entered the talent cluster and quickly merged with his body.
Demonic energy surged into his body, and a tingling sensation spread up his spine, as if countless tiny demonic patterns were moving beneath his skin. He looked down at the back of his hand; dark golden patterns were spreading from his heart to his limbs, like living vines, intertwining into a dense tortoise-shell-like pattern at his wrist bones. His skin felt slightly hot, as if magma was slowly flowing through his veins. The demonic energy was greedily absorbed by these patterns, transforming into an invisible armor that adhered to the surface of his bones and skin.
Immediately after, the power of "Life's Demise" began to awaken. A cool sensation spread from his heart, forming a strange balance with the fiery demonic patterns.
He could feel an invisible pact within him, like an alliance signed with a certain rule—when a fatal injury occurred, this pact would automatically activate, returning the pain directly to the enemy.
This feeling was very peculiar, like a sword hanging over his head and a trump card in his hand, giving him the confidence to face powerful enemies.
Buzz~
The Gun Soul in the barrel let out a cry. Qin Tian tightened his grip on the gunstock, soothing the Gun Soul's restless emotions. That scene just now had clearly startled the Gun Soul as well.
"It's all over."
Even the Dragon Turtle Demon, known for its defense, couldn't withstand Hidden Kill's fatal blow. This showed that the current Hidden Kill, combined with multiple talent combinations, was enough to threaten most Tier 6 creatures.
Rustling sounds of rolling pebbles came from all directions, as if countless claws were scratching the earth. Qin Tian suddenly looked up, only to see a black tide rising at the horizon, with dense masses of demons rushing towards him.
Just now, because he entered a near-death state, he couldn't continue to control his aura, causing it to leak out.
The demonic energy mixed with the aura of human psionic power, in the environment of the demonic tide, was like a bright lamp in the dark night, instantly attracting the attention of all nearby demons.
At the forefront were countless Bone Claw Demons. They hunched their bodies, running on all fours, their exposed finger bones scratching sparks on the rocks, letting out low growls from their throats, and their eye sockets glowed with eerie green ghost fire.
On the left side of the mountain wall, a group of spider-bodied, human-faced demons were climbing down. The chelicerae on their abdomens glinted with metallic luster, their eight compound eyes locked onto Qin Tian, and the silk threads they spat from their mouthparts wove into a net between the rock walls, clearly intending to cut off his retreat.
And what was most heart-pounding were the shadowy, soul-type demons emerging from the darkness.
They had no physical form, were semi-transparent gray-black, and their forms were flickering and indistinct, like condensed masses of mist, yet they carried a bone-chilling coldness. There were hundreds of them, densely suspended in mid-air, forming a gray-black cloud layer.
"This is like poking a hornet's nest!" Qin Tian's eyes flickered.
He had been using Hidden Kill in combat all this time, partly to awaken the Gun Soul through continuous slaughter, and another important reason was that the fluctuations from using the gun were very small, which wouldn't cause a large-scale demonic riot.
But facing such a large number of demons, relying on Hidden Kill to solve them one by one was not realistic. If he got entangled with this group of demons, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Thinking of this, Qin Tian spread his Night Demon Wings, preparing to retreat a step.
But just then, several strong consciousnesses entered his mind almost simultaneously.
One came from Zyra. Seeing such a large number of demons, she could no longer suppress her craving for flesh and energy.
One came from Karthus in the Netherworld Ghost Cave. He had set his sights on the group of soul-type demons, wanting to refine them into a ghost army.
The last one came from the long-dormant Kha'Zix.
After several months, Kha'Zix had finally completely digested the power of the Void Dragon's essence blood and awakened at this moment.
"Good heavens, did you three plan this?" Qin Tian's body suddenly paused, and he shook his head helplessly. "Alright, then let's finish this quickly."
Whoosh! Black gas surged from Qin Tian's chest like a volcanic eruption. Karthus's soul form solidified within the swirling black mist. His skeletal left hand gripped a thick book with dark red runes flowing across its cover. The pages turned on their own, emitting an ethereal glow that suppressed souls. His right hand carried a massive scythe taller than himself, its blade gleaming with a cold light as if quenched in ten thousand years of ice.
When he raised his head and the soul fire dancing in his empty eye sockets swept over the group of shadowy spirits, the temperature of the entire valley plummeted by three degrees, as if even the air was about to be harvested by that scythe.
The vines on Qin Tian's wrist suddenly straightened like steel whips, and the next second they grew wildly at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Zyra's main root exploded in the rock layers, and countless fibrous roots plunged into the earth like a torrential rain. In an instant, hundreds of vines grew wildly, their thorns standing like daggers. The entire vine exuded a ferocious aura of devouring everything, as if it wanted to turn this plain into her nutrient farm.
On the other side, when the void rift tore open, it carried stardust-like specks of light.
Kha'Zix's figure slid out of the rift. His dark purple carapace shimmered with a nebula-like luster, and each step left a brief void ripple on the ground. His scythe-like limb blades gleamed with an eerie purple sharpness, and as his joints rotated, they made a soft sound similar to spatial friction. The void aura surrounding him instinctively made the nearby demons retreat—that was a fear originating from the essence of life itself, as if the entity before them could drag them into the endless void at any moment.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"
Upon seeing Qin Tian again, Kha'Zix let out a hiss from his mouthparts, his compound eyes suddenly lighting up with an eerie purple glow. His scythe-like limb blades crossed in an arc in front of him, making a rapid, fragmented rubbing sound, conveying his joy at awakening to Qin Tian.
"Kha'Zix, you're finally awake."
Qin Tian gently patted Kha'Zix's carapace. The touch was cold, and at the same time, he could feel the fierce power within Kha'Zix, imbued with the power of the void.
After absorbing half of the Void Dragon's blood, Kha'Zix's strength directly leaped from Tier 4 to the peak of Tier 5. Simultaneously, his bloodline abilities were greatly enhanced.
Now, he truly deserved that name—the Void Reaver.
Qin Tian looked at the increasingly dense demon hordes in the distance, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Since everyone's here, let's have a good kill today!"
