Soul Emperor Martial God
Chapter 1357: Sleepless Night
Xiao Yi felt the unusual movement of the Cold Flame Sword, glancing at the golden light drifting in the air.
If the rumors are true, to what extent was the ancient warrior who founded the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion truly powerful?
He had sensed the golden light, obviously containing the breath of a gold attribute, incredibly sharp.
This golden light, enduring for millennia without fading.
But the Martial Artists couldn’t absorb it or touch it, as if it were air.
Were the martial artists of the Ancient Times really that powerful, so much so that it seems unfathomable?
A hint of longing flashed across Xiao Yi’s face.
But this trace of longing was quickly covered by the indifference on his face.
He concentrated the flame in his hand, quickly refining the inner core of the Golden Light Ghost Wolf into an elixir.
With a touch of hesitation, he slowly extended the Cold Flame Sword towards the golden mist in the air.
The sword touched the golden light, and unlike before, the golden light, which was like air, was not penetrated this time.
The sword body lay within the golden light.
Gradually, the golden light surged into the sword.
In just a moment, the golden light in front was completely absorbed.
The entire Cold Flame Sword, apart from its original cool white hue, was now covered with a layer of golden light.
It looked as if a layer of golden light wrapped around the sword body.
But this layer of golden light was extremely thin, like it was nothing.
Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, "It was really absorbed."
Xiao Yi sensed that the Cold Flame Sword was now incredibly sharp.
Clang...
Xiao Yi used the sword for support on the ground.
Screech... suddenly, the entire sword plunged into the ground.
The hard ground, as if it were paper.
"Hiss." Xiao Yi gasped in shock.
If Sword Qi is an intangible sharpness, then this golden attribute breath is the pinnacle of sharpness.
A thought suddenly crossed Xiao Yi’s mind.
It seems that apart from the demon beasts living in this treacherous land who can absorb and utilize the golden light, weapons can as well.
However, if all weapons could utilize it, wouldn’t ordinary weapons all become divine weapons?
Xiao Yi tried it with a sub-saint artifact sword appearing out of thin air.
It was a trophy he acquired in battle from the Universe Ring in the past.
Holding the sword, he approached the golden light.
Indeed, the sword in hand could absorb the golden light.
Not long after, the golden light in the air was fully absorbed.
However, mere seconds later.
Crack... crack... crack...
The sword body suddenly fractured.
Seconds later, the entire sword shattered into pieces.
The fragments of the sword clattered to the ground, leaving only the hilt in Xiao Yi’s hand.
"So that’s how it is." Xiao Yi understood.
Weapons can indeed absorb this golden light.
But whether this weapon can carry the golden light is another matter.
The Cold Flame Sword is a mid-grade holy artifact, so it can carry it.
But the sword just now was merely a sub-saint artifact and couldn’t withstand the extreme sharpness of the golden light.
Xiao Yi’s gaze returned to the Cold Flame Sword.
At this time, the power of the Cold Flame Sword had undoubtedly increased several times from before.
The enhancement of the sword’s power also meant the enhancement of the sword cultivator’s strength.
Xiao Yi even believed that now with the Cold Flame Sword in hand, even without using the technique of delivering ten sword strikes at once, relying solely on the Starlight River, he could instantly kill a ninth-layer Saint Emperor realm expert.
Thinking this, Xiao Yi’s face showed a hint of joy.
However, this trace of joy only appeared for a few minutes before it suddenly dissipated.
Because the golden light on the Cold Flame Sword suddenly disappeared, leaving no trace.
Xiao Yi was taken aback and then realized.
It seems that even if a weapon can absorb this golden light, it cannot retain it for long, just like a demon beast core.
At most, it will dissipate in a few minutes.
"What’s the use of that?" Xiao Yi glanced at the golden light and curled his lips.
"Should I keep absorbing?" Xiao Yi looked back at the Cold Flame Sword.
The Cold Flame Sword slightly vibrated, then stopped making any further movements.
Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile, "It was so restless just now, and now it despises this golden light power."
"Forget it."
Xiao Yi sheathed the Cold Flame Sword.
Rather than focusing on this golden light, it would be better to hunt more demon beasts and refine Golden Light Pills.
The entire Golden Light Dangerous Land is vast, with demon beasts beyond counting.
It’s ample enough for him to train for a long time.
With this in mind, Xiao Yi continued to venture forward.
However, at this moment, roars of beasts suddenly echoed throughout the forest.
The intense roars, filled with a bloodthirsty sound, made one’s heart tremble.
In an instant, all the demon beasts in the land of Golden Light began to boil, to rampage.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.
This kind of rampage from the demon beasts, he hadn’t heard just now for the first time.
Long before he ventured deeper, no, even earlier, when the Golden Light Dangerous Land fell into night, he could occasionally hear the beast roars echoing through the forest.
It’s just that now the beast roars are more intense.
The rampant aura in the air is also more apparent.
"A beast tide?" Xiao Yi’s face suddenly showed a hint of gravity.
"No."
Xiao Yi suddenly shook his head.
If it were a beast tide, the beast roars would be concentrated at one point.
Moreover, it would usually erupt from the depths of the Demon Beast Forest, with the loudest sound.
But now the beast roars came from all directions.
Rather than calling it a beast tide, it is more like the demon beasts are cheering.
Within that rampaging roar, there was also a chilling bloodthirsty taste.
Bang...
Suddenly, a sky-breaking sound came from Xiao Yi’s side.
Xiao Yi immediately reacted, stepping back.
Whoosh... a crimson Wind Blade swept past his eyes.
"Gale Fierce Bird?" Xiao Yi glanced not far away.
A bird-type demon beast with fiery red feathers all over its body, glinting ominously.
Its fiery red wings, under violent flapping, produced an astonishing Gang Wind.
The Gale Fierce Bird, an Emperor Realm Demon Beast.
Originally a fire attribute bird-type demon beast, controlling fierce fire.
But as a bird, it is naturally endowed with the ability to control the air and ride the wind.
Hence, such a demon beast can simultaneously control both wind and fire.
Fire borrows the force of the wind, increasing its power sharply; the wind relies on the explosion of fire, greatly enhancing its speed.
As for the crimson Wind Blade just now, almost the moment Xiao Yi detected this Wind Blade, it had already struck.
If he hadn’t stepped back then, but instead drew his sword trying to fend it off, perhaps that Wind Blade would have already hit him.
In terms of strength, the Gale Fierce Bird is even above the Golden Light Ghost Wolf.
"So that’s how it is." Xiao Yi suddenly understood.
The night in the Golden Light Dangerous Land is indeed lively.
Numerous human teams come out in full force, hunting demon beasts and refining precious Golden Light Pills.
But this liveliness comes not only from humans but also from demon beasts.
Humans hunt demon beasts, and demon beasts similarly loathe humans, devouring them with delight.
Night is the time for them to absorb the golden light, increase their strength with the golden light power, and it is also the best time to kill human martial artists.
The battles between human martial artists and demon beasts, once night falls, are destined to be intense.
The night in the Golden Light Dangerous Land is destined to be a sleepless night.

First update, today’s update, complete.
Taking a day off.
Feeling somewhat unwell, tired; although I could continue typing, I don’t know when I can update again.
Rather than that, I’d make up for it tomorrow, so nobody has to wait.
If I feel better tomorrow, I will make up for one update with two;
If I’m still unwell, I can only apologize, making up for one update later, planning to come back explosively some other time.
Please understand, Xiao Bai thanks greatly!
