Nightfall descends, and the night deepens.

After slaying the demon beast in front of him, Xiao Yi didn’t continue to delve deeper.

Instead, he sat cross-legged on the spot.

Beside him, an ancient towering tree rose, entwined around itself.

Under the deepening night, Xiao Yi’s figure seemed to completely meld into the darkness, silent and unnoticed.

Even while simply sitting with legs crossed, his every breath, every stillness, seemed to merge perfectly with the nearby tree.

In his hand, demon beast Essence Blood jade bottles appeared out of thin air.

This was the Essence Blood of demon beasts he had obtained since entering the Golden Light Dangerous Land today.

Among them were not lacking the levels of Saint Realm, Saint King Realm, and Saint Emperor Realm.

However, the majority were still at the Saint King Realm level.

As for the Saint Emperor Realm levels, although they could occasionally be encountered within the Golden Light Dangerous Land, the area had not yet been thoroughly explored, so the number was scarce.

Drop by drop, the demon beast Essence Blood was absorbed and siphoned by Xiao Yi.

With an immense quantity, it formed a long river of blood.

Xiao Yi’s palm opened slightly, and the blood river automatically surged in.

With the cultivation of the Asura Battle Body, the demon beast Essence Blood was quickly absorbed, subsequently rapidly absorbed, enhancing physical strength and increasing the count of Asura Power.

Before long, the blood river was completely absorbed.

An aura burst forth from Xiao Yi’s body.

His physical strength finally broke through to the Ninth Layer of the Saint King Realm.

Last time, after purchasing demon beast Essence Blood at the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, his physical strength was already at the Eighth Layer of the Saint King Realm, barely short of a breakthrough.

Now, he had thoroughly broken through.

Inside him, 90 black "little droplets" shimmered brilliantly.

The intense black radiance proclaimed their mightiness.

Since stepping into the Saint Realm with physical strength, the drops of Asura Power transformed into "little droplet" shapes, more intense and powerful.

Thereafter, each advancement in the Saint Realm added one drop.

Having reached 10 drops, he stepped into the physical strength of the Saint King Realm.

And after achieving Saint King Realm physical strength, the required and condensed Asura Power skyrocketed.

Subsequent advancements added ten drops each.

Naturally, now he possessed the Ninth Layer of Saint King Realm physical strength.

Within him, Asura Power had reached as many as 90.

With continued cultivation, Asura Power would keep increasing; whether a qualitative leap would occur in the future was still unknown.

But undeniably, these 90 strands of Blood Luo Power were far more formidable than several hundred drops before.

Currently, with physical strength alone, he could battle with Saint Emperor Realm experts.

Alongside Asura Transformation and other Body Cultivation Martial Techniques,

his combat power would only be secondary to the sword combat power under eighty thousand Starlight Descents.

Not that the Star Illusion Swordsmanship was superior to the Asura Battle Body.

It simply meant that the power level of eighty thousand Starlight was when Star Illusion Swordsmanship reached the Saint Emperor Realm Eighth Layer level.

That is to say, even with low cultivation, Xiao Yi’s comprehension and mastery of the Martial Arts level was already Saint Emperor Realm Eighth Layer.

Naturally, the combat power under eighty thousand Starlight was stronger than the current Asura Battle Body.

If the Asura Battle Body was cultivated to Saint Emperor Realm Eighth Layer, then the two would be incomparable.

Even if one’s Martial Arts Cultivation reached Saint Emperor Realm Eighth Layer, combined with Star Illusion Swordsmanship, it would still be far inferior.

Of course, that seems to be quite a distant matter.

Xiao Yi smiled, then gently exhaled, concluding his cultivation.

Next, he was ready to delve deeper into this vast demon beast forest.

However, just as he opened his eyes, his expression suddenly showed a slight surprise.

In front of him, the entire Golden Light Dangerous Land had already plunged into darkness.

The night had completely shrouded the vast forest.

Yet, high in the sky and in the air, threads of golden light suddenly emerged.

The golden light appeared silently and suddenly.

In moments, the entire forest was filled with strands of golden light.

If he now leaped into the air, gazing over the entire demon beast forest, he would undoubtedly see these strands of golden light, extremely beautiful.

The entire demon beast forest looked like a gigantic, glowing piece of "gold" from afar.

The forest, originally engulfed by darkness, was instantly pierced by the golden light.

Yet, standing amidst it, the golden hue was not dazzling but rather soft and beautifully ethereal.

"So this is the Golden Light Dangerous Land?" Xiao Yi chuckled.

The Central Region is vast, full of wonders.

In countless regions, vast expanses have varying and distinctive landscapes.

Hiss...

Suddenly, a cold hiss sounded in Xiao Yi’s ear.

The sound was very close.

Xiao Yi could even feel a chill and smoothness sliding over his skin.

"Hidden Tree Python," Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

If viewed from afar.

One would see a massive and astonishing tree python coiled among the towering tree Xiao Yi rested against.

Pythons, ice-cold and extremely sensitive.

Yet now, with Xiao Yi sitting cross-legged within, it remained unaware.

As if, within its coils, there was nothing but this towering tree.

Xiao Yi’s fingers moved slightly.

The Hidden Tree Python was a demon beast of the Saint King Realm.

However, among Saint King Realm demon beasts, it wasn’t strong, probably only mid-stage.

Aside from its enormous size and significant strength, it had no other talents.

At least compared to those venomous python demon beasts, the Hidden Tree Python was much weaker.

Xiao Yi could slay it with a flick of sword Qi.

However, just as he prepared to act, a Demon Hunting Team suddenly appeared ahead.

"It’s a Hidden Tree Python, impressive, truly enormous in size."

This Demon Hunting Team numbered around ten, led by a middle-aged man with the Seventh Layer of Saint King Realm strength.

The rest of the team were also above the Saint King Realm in cultivation.

Xiao Yi slightly frowned.

Moments ago, he’d been mesmerized by the sudden beautiful golden light.

Now, with a slight perception, he clearly sensed that at the edges of the Golden Light Dangerous Land, waves of Martial Artist auras were emerging.

Teams of Martial Artists were entering the Golden Light Dangerous Land from all directions.

He had long heard a rumor.

The Golden Light Dangerous Land at night was the most perilous time.

But the Golden Light Dangerous Land at night was also the most lively, exciting time.

This excitement likely referred to these teams of Demon Hunting Hall, Wind Envoy Team, Fire Envoy Team, and other Martial Artist teams.

Xiao Yi slightly shook, preparing to slip away.

Because, in front of him, the Demon Hunting Team had already engaged in battle with the Hidden Tree Python.

Yet, neither side noticed Xiao Yi sitting cross-legged beneath the towering tree.

Given this Demon Hunting Team’s strength, killing the Hidden Tree Python shouldn’t pose much of an issue.

Since they had already started battling, Xiao Yi decided not to get involved.

To avoid disputes over the spoils after the fight ended.

Xiao Yi prepared to get up, but at this moment, he suddenly frowned.

The initially dominant Demon Hunting Team was suddenly blown away heavily.

Meanwhile, the Hidden Tree Python started devouring the golden light in the air, its aura continually rising.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.

...

Third update.
