Inside the valley, the Dragon Turtle Demon was leisurely flicking its tail, scooping up half a Lava Demon’s corpse and stuffing it into its mouth.Its rough tongue licked the shredded meat from the remains, and bones were crushed between its fangs, as dark green juice dripped from the corners of its mouth, corroding small, sizzling pits into the black stone.The skin beneath its dorsal shell felt the nourishment of the demonic energy, and each scale glowed faintly, its internal energy like magma about to boil, making it let out a comfortable groan.Just then, a sharp sense of crisis pierced its mind like an ice pick!This feeling came without warning, no energy fluctuations, no aura leakage, yet it instinctively felt the approach of death.The Dragon Turtle Demon suddenly closed its eyes, its entire body of muscles instantly tensed, and the magma on its dorsal shell erupted, a dense demonic energy condensing into a thick shield on its body surface, strong enough to withstand a sixth-tier attack.It didn't even have time to turn its head to look for the enemy, only feeling a slight, numbing sting in its left eye.The shield had actually been penetrated!"I—."The sound of air being torn, thinner than a strand of hair, was almost covered by the flowing demonic energy, and the next second, intense pain swept through its entire body like a tsunami!The bullet ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ had pierced through its proudly thick eyelid, that layer of keratin that could resist sharp claws tearing through it was like thin paper in the face of this attack.The scorching bullet head, with the force to tear through everything, drilled into its eye socket, ignoring layers of nerves and bones, accurately hitting the core of its brain.The Dragon Turtle Demon let out a shrill, distorted roar, its massive body suddenly sprang from the black stone, its four limbs frantically pawing, sending rocks from the ground flying several feet.But this struggle was meaningless; the sound of an Explosion from within its brain echoed in its cranial cavity, its consciousness melting away like ice swallowed by magma, at a visible speed.The fierce light in its yellow eyes quickly dimmed, and its body crashed heavily back onto the black stone, kicking up a cloud of dust.The magma on its dorsal shell lost its energy support and slowly solidified into a dark brown, with undigested shredded meat still clinging to the corners of its mouth, but its dull yellow eyes had completely lost their luster.Until the last moment of death, it couldn't figure out—where did that fatal attack come from?And how could it penetrate its layers of defense and accurately hit its most vulnerable brain?A faint breeze, carrying a strong smell of blood, swept through the valley entrance, spreading a faint red under the dark purple sky.Deep within the Demon Cave, the Dragon Turtle Demon’s aura suddenly extinguished like a candle flame, and the surrounding demons immediately fell into chaos, roaring in terror, stirring up layers of echoes in the valley, even the demonic energy stirred by the demon tide was disrupted by this panic.Outside the valley, Qin Tian’s lips had just curved into a smile when, suddenly, an anomaly occurred."Ah!"A tearing pain suddenly exploded in his mind, as if countless ice-tempered steel needles were drilling in from his temples, trying to churn his brain into a pulp.His vision was instantly engulfed in blood, a sharp buzzing rang in his ears, and even his breathing became like a knife cutting him.Even more terrifying was the Qi and blood in his body—like a punctured skin, his scorching vitality was rapidly draining away at a visible speed.His skin rapidly lost its color, turning from warm to cold, and the Demon King Wings, which originally glowed with a dark purple light, quickly dimmed.The edges even began to wither."What's going on—"Qin Tian bit down hard on his tongue, trying to maintain consciousness through the pain, but his awareness was like a flickering candle caught in a strong wind, constantly dimming and brightening.He could clearly feel his heart beating weaker and weaker, each pulsation carrying the heaviness of impending death, his fingers holding Hidden Kill began to stiffen, and his consciousness felt like it could collapse at any moment.This wasn't an injury; it was more like his life force was being forcibly extracted by some invisible power.He could even feel his life flame rapidly shrinking, with only a faint spark remaining, about to be completely extinguished the next second.His body uncontrollably fell from mid-air, his Demon King Wings drooped powerlessly, even the strength to flap them had vanished.Nearby, many demons sensed his aura, their eyes showing greed, and after a roar, they rushed towards him.Just as Qin Tian’s consciousness was about to sink into darkness, with only a thin line separating him from death, suddenly, a faint golden light erupted from deep within his Dantian.This golden light was initially as weak as a firefly, yet it carried an indescribably gentle power, instantly flowing through his meridians and throughout his entire body.Wherever it passed, the dissipating Qi and blood seemed to be clutched by an invisible hand, and the rate of loss suddenly halted; the intense pain in his mind was extinguished as if by ice water, and the tearing sensation rapidly receded."Great Wilderness—Indestructible."A vague thought flashed through Qin Tian’s mind, and that wisp of golden light formed an invisible barrier within his body, firmly locking down the last spark of his life flame, unmoving no matter how much external forces pulled at it.Immediately after, something even stranger happened: the locked-down Qi and blood began to slowly replenish, his previously cold skin regained its color,His heart's pulsations gradually grew stronger, and his scattered consciousness ascended from the deep sea, becoming clearer little by little."Hoo—hah—."Qin Tian gasped in a mouthful of sulfur-scented air, coughing violently, the phlegm he coughed up containing streaks of blood, yet it made him truly feel the reality of "being alive."He raised his hand to touch his cheek; a warm sensation returned, the golden light in his Dantian had receded, but that gentle power was still slowly repairing his body.He looked down at Hidden Kill in his hand; the black phantom on the gun body became active again, and the gun barrel trembled slightly, as if asking about his condition.Qin Tian panted, a deep lingering fear flashing in his eyes."That was close."He was almost, just barely, forcibly stripped of his life.Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Indestructible effect of the Great Wilderness Battle Body activated, instantly restoring 50% of his health when he entered a near-death state with health below 15%.This is how he saved his life.He was certain that his near-death state just now was related to the Dragon Turtle Demon he had killed, and as for the reason, he glanced at the two purple light orbs he had just obtained and immediately knew the answer."【Name】 Demonic Pattern Turtle Shell (Purple)""【Type】 Composite Talent 【Description】 When absorbing surrounding demonic energy, dark golden demonic patterns will appear on the body surface, gradually intertwining into a turtle shell-like pattern as demonic energy accumulates, granting a qualitative leap in physical strength and defense.""Active · Turtle Shell Rebound: Consumes internal energy to form a turtle shell armor shield; when attacked, 35% of the damage (including physical, energy, and spiritual attacks) will be reflected back to the attacker, during which its own defense will temporarily increase by 60%."Turtle Shell Rebound could reflect 35% of the damage, but that alone would not have nearly caused him to fall; the truly fatal factor was the second talent."【Name】 Life in Sympathy (Purple)""【Type】 Passive Talent 【Description】 When you receive a fatal attack that causes your health to instantly drop by more than 40%, Life Resonance will automatically trigger. The injuries you sustain (including physical trauma, energy erosion, and mental shock) will immediately be synchronized and inflicted upon the attacker, regardless of the attacker's distance or whether they possess a physical form, they will forcibly suffer the effect. The intensity of Sympathy will attenuate with increasing power disparity, with a minimum of no less than 60%."
