The Golden Light Dangerous Land came alive again at night.

But amidst this ’liveliness’, there were no cheers.

Instead, it was filled with intense fighting sounds, painful wails, and fierce roars.

Underneath this liveliness, there was not a trace of joy, only the thick, pungent smell of blood wafting through the air in the dangerous land.

Xiao Yi spent most of the night battling and advancing all the way until he finally reached the depths of the dangerous land.

At this moment, he halted his steps.

Because, two gigantic creatures stood in his path.

No, to be precise, they blocked all directions around him.

One was a giant python demon beast, and the other was an entirely black lizard demon beast.

"Night Shadow Flowing Light Python, Thorny Holy Lizard." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, his face slightly tensed.

As he knew, these two types of demon beasts were both at the Saint Emperor Realm Fifth Layer.

In terms of strength, they were undoubtedly far above the Gale Fierce Bird.

The Night Shadow Flowing Light Python was entirely black, with a sleek surface.

Despite its massive body, it showed no clumsiness, instead, its speed was as fast as flowing light.

Even an ordinary Martial Arts Emperor encountering it would end up in the belly of the python within a flash.

The Thorny Holy Lizard’s entire body was rock-hard, resembling black rock.

Its back was covered with dense thorns, like iron spikes, yet sharp as swords.

"Interesting." Xiao Yi’s lips curled slightly.

The Cold Flame Sword appeared out of thin air in his hand, ready and waiting.

The two demon beasts, without a doubt, opened their mouths and devoured the golden light.

After a while, strands of golden light were absorbed by them.

Their aura also suddenly surged.

"Reached the Early Stage Ninth Layer of the Saint Emperor Realm." Xiao Yi frowned.

In his perception, the strength of these two demon beasts had already reached the level of the Ninth Layer of Saint Emperor Realm.

He remembered that the Gale Fierce Bird he encountered yesterday was a Fourth Layer of the Saint Emperor Realm demon beast.

After absorbing the golden light, its strength reached the Peak of Eighth Layer of Saint Emperor Realm, close to the Ninth Layer of Saint Emperor Realm, leaping four layers.

But now, these two demon beasts, the Night Shadow Flowing Light Python, and the Thorny Holy Lizard, were real Saint Emperor Realm Fifth Layer demon beasts.

Logically, after absorbing the golden light, they should have gained strength above the Ninth Layer of the Saint Emperor Realm, rather than barely reaching the Ninth Layer of Saint Emperor Realm level now.

Xiao Yi’s brow furrowed slightly.

Compared to the previous Golden Light Ghost Wolf and Gale Fierce Bird.

Xiao Yi concluded that the stronger the demon beast, the more golden light it could absorb, and the more its strength would increase.

Now it seemed that assumption was correct.

The Night Shadow Flowing Light Python and the Thorny Holy Lizard had clearly absorbed more golden light than the Gale Fierce Bird encountered yesterday.

Yet, it seemed that the increase in strength levels was about the same.

If he guessed correctly, it should be that the strength gap within the Ninth Layer of the Saint Emperor Realm was extremely large.

Thus, the effects of this golden light appeared diminished.

As far as he knew, the Ninth Layer of the Saint Emperor Realm was a significant hurdle for Martial Arts Emperors.

Of course, Xiao Yi was currently far from that realm.

In any case, the current strength of these two demon beasts, the Night Shadow Flowing Light Python and the Thorny Holy Lizard, was barely reaching the Ninth Layer of the Saint Emperor Realm.

From another perspective.

In the Saint King Realm, even a single-layer difference could mean a vast disparity.

It was imaginable how large the gap could be within the Saint Emperor Realm for each layer.

This golden light power could bridge such gaps, hence its effects were quite terrifying.

Whoosh...

At this time, a stream of light shot toward Xiao Yi.

The light stream was gigantic.

Xiao Yi reacted extremely quickly, slashing with his sword.

Having entered deep into the Golden Light Dangerous Land, he was always in his best combat state.

Eighty thousand starlights had already enveloped him.

This slash was made with his full strength.

However, when the light stream collided with the Cold Flame Sword.

Bang... a loud explosion sounded.

Xiao Yi only felt an astounding force crash into him.

The sword body of the Cold Flame Sword remained unscathed.

But Xiao Yi’s hands instantly went numb.

Before he could react, he was knocked back several dozen meters, sent flying.

Even the sword in his hand was disarmed due to the immense impact.

"What power!" Xiao Yi’s face was startled.

After steadying himself, he glanced at his hands, which were already bright red.

Whoosh...

The gigantic light stream approached once more.

"Return." Xiao Yi commanded, and with a flick of his hand.

The Cold Flame Sword that was knocked away instantly flew back into his hand.

"Hah." Xiao Yi let out a low shout and slashed once more.

A starlight river surged out instantly.

The gigantic light stream crashed heavily onto the starlight river.

In an instant, the starlight river trembled unceasingly, with starlight dissipating continuously.

Within a few seconds, the entire starlight river had already vanished completely.

The Night Shadow Flowing Light Python’s cold eyes stared straight at Xiao Yi, as if looking at the tiniest of ants.

"Such an arrogant beast." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.

Whoosh... the light stream leapt again.

This time, Xiao Yi didn’t take it head-on.

As the light stream approached, Xiao Yi slashed with his sword.

The instant the sword body collided with the light stream, Xiao Yi sidestepped, using the force to easily evade the light stream’s charge.

That sidestep just now allowed Xiao Yi to avoid being knocked away.

But it also enabled him to see up close what lay beneath the light stream.

The Night Shadow Flowing Light Python had transformed into the light stream, with its mouth wide open.

If he hadn’t dodged just now, the gigantic blood-red mouth of the Night Shadow Flowing Light Python would have swallowed him whole.

Hiss hiss...

The Night Shadow Flowing Light Python hissed, flicking its scarlet tongue.

Whoosh... in the next second, it transformed into the light stream again and attacked.

Xiao Yi’s mouth curled into a cold smile.

As a Demon Hunter, he wasn’t afraid of any demon beast.

Even if this demon beast’s strength was currently above his, he paid it no mind.

As the light stream approached, Xiao Yi employed the same tactic, blocking with a sword and then evading with the force.

But this time, after barely dodging, he suddenly switched the sword edge, turning a block into a slash.

The sharp, cold glint of the Cold Flame Sword struck heavily on the python’s body of the Night Shadow Flowing Light Python.

Xiao Yi sneered.

This slash, with the sharpness of the Cold Flame Sword, was sufficient to heavily wound this wicked beast.

However, just as the sword light fell heavily.

Squeak... it sounded.

The sharp sword body skidded as it touched the python’s skin, the sword power mostly dissipated.

The Night Shadow Flowing Light Python only emitted a painful howl and remained unscathed.

"Damn it." Xiao Yi’s face showed astonishment.

The python’s body of the Night Shadow Flowing Light Python was as smooth as silk.

The sharp sword body had slipped right over it.

Whoosh... the Night Shadow Flowing Light Python transformed into the light stream once more.

This time, clearly enraged by the pain, its speed dramatically increased.

"Not good." Xiao Yi’s expression changed.

The starlight river condensed instantly; the primordial power within him also erupted immediately.

As the light stream reached him, Xiao Yi slashed his sword.

One slash unleashed ten swords at once.

Multiple starlight rivers surged forth continuously, instantly blocking the light stream and thrusting its massive figure back a hundred meters.

Xiao Yi breathed a light sigh of relief.

The demon beasts in the depths of the Golden Light Dangerous Land were indeed exceptionally dangerous.

Yet, before he could completely relax.

A gigantic creature rapidly crawled towards him at an astounding speed.

"Thorny Holy Lizard?" Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, reversing his grip to slash.

Clang...

The sharp Cold Flame Sword struck the Thorny Holy Lizard, eliciting a screech.

Even with his full-strength, Xiao Yi couldn’t inflict any damage to the thorns on its back.

"Such tough thorns." Xiao Yi was taken aback.

...

Third update.
