Bang...

In Xiao Yi’s hand, a surge of flame gathered.

With a wave of his hand, he collected the inner core and Demon Beast Essence Blood of the Night Shadow Flowing Light Python and Thorny Holy Lizard.

The Demon Beast Essence Blood was thus stored away.

The inner core was thrown into the flame.

With the aid of various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it didn’t take long before two glittering Golden Light Pills were refined.

"Phew." Xiao Yi exhaled lightly and glanced at the sky.

In the sky, that brush of darkness had reached its extreme.

If he remembered correctly, considering his journey deeper in and the battle with the Night Shadow Flowing Light Python and Thorny Holy Lizard, it took him almost the entire night.

Dawn was breaking soon.

The night sky at its peak darkness now was just the darkest moment before dawn.

Xiao Yi shook his head, preparing to retreat some distance to begin a day’s meditation and insight.

Tonight, most of the time was still spent battling the Night Shadow Flowing Light Python and Thorny Holy Lizard.

Especially using the Starlight Power to slay the Thorny Holy Lizard, which consumed a significant amount of time.

Tonight’s training could come to a pause.

Although there weren’t many battles, the gains were substantial.

The Night Shadow Flowing Light Python and Thorny Holy Lizard were normally extremely difficult to encounter demon beasts.

Not to mention that these two demon beasts had joined forces.

Fighting them made the training results far better than battling dozens of demon beasts last night.

As for choosing to retreat a distance.

It’s mainly because the deep interior of the Golden Light Dangerous Land is extremely perilous, even during the day.

Xiao Yi was not afraid of these dangers; it’s just that the demon beasts during the day aren’t powerful, making the training less effective, so there’s no need to engage in meaningless battles.

Turning away, Xiao Yi was about to leave.

Suddenly...

"Huh?" Xiao Yi’s expression stiffened, "What a terrifying demon beast aura."

Almost at the moment he sensed this demon beast aura.

Boom... a furious sky-breaking noise rapidly approached.

Xiao Yi couldn’t see what it was, and his feet quickly retreated.

Boom... a thunderous explosion.

Almost at the moment his feet retreated, the place he originally stood was blasted into a giant pit.

The terrifying airflow generated by the enormous force directly pushed Xiao Yi’s retreating figure a hundred meters away.

Was even the airflow generated just by the residual power already this powerful?

Xiao Yi’s expression changed, and the Cold Flame Sword instantly appeared in his hand.

Clang...

The sword tip pressed against the ground, stopping the impact of the airflow and stabilizing his figure.

Once he steadied his figure, Xiao Yi glanced a hundred meters away, and instantly his pupils contracted.

"Vajra White Ape?"

Xiao Yi’s face twitched.

This was not an ordinary demon beast but a rare demon beast with an Ancient Bloodline.

Back in the Eastern Domain, Xiao Yi once encountered a Snowy Vajra Ape.

The Snowy Vajra Ape was an extremely rare demon beast with an Ancient Bloodline.

In terms of species, the Snowy Vajra Ape and the Vajra White Ape were the same kind.

But the bloodline level of the Vajra White Ape was several levels higher than that of the Snowy Vajra Ape.

Its power was even shockingly strong.

At this moment, the Vajra White Ape, looking at the corpses of the Night Shadow Flowing Light Python and Thorny Holy Lizard on the ground, visibly showed a trace of human-like sadness.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, then suddenly realized.

"So that’s why the Night Shadow Flowing Light Python and Thorny Holy Lizard joined forces."

Normally, demon beasts have very strong territorial awareness.

The stronger the power, the higher the level, the higher the spiritual intelligence, the stronger this awareness becomes.

The Night Shadow Flowing Light Python and Thorny Holy Lizard were different types of demon beasts; it would be impossible for them to join forces.

But add in this Vajra White Ape, and it’s a different story.

The Beast Clan, like humans, not only had territorial awareness, but also division of forces.

In some demon beast forests, one beast is king, with other beasts submitting.

The strong ruling the weak is similarly applicable among demon beasts, and that brutal survival of the fittest is even more cruel.

The Vajra White Ape was evidently a very strong demon beast.

However, the Vajra White Ape liked to be solitary, but also liked to gather a few demon beasts to accompany him.

Or more simply, the Vajra White Ape liked to have ’little followers.’

If his guess was correct, this Night Shadow Flowing Light Python and Thorny Holy Lizard were its ’little followers.’

Viewing its current expression, it seemed the feelings between the three beasts were quite deep.

Roar...

The next second, the Vajra White Ape let out a deafening roar.

The roar was filled with earth-shattering rage, reverberating throughout the Golden Light Dangerous Land.

Feeling this momentum, Xiao Yi’s face was startled again.

"Peak of Saint Emperor Realm."

This Vajra White Ape had evidently absorbed the Golden Light Power.

A surge of power, reaching the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

In other words, the demon beast standing a hundred meters away from Xiao Yi is equivalent to one of the Twelve Peak Elders of Heavenly Hidden.

Most importantly, this is a bloodthirsty demon beast, harboring immense killing intent towards Xiao Yi.

If it were someone else, faced with such an enraged and terrifyingly powerful demon beast, they would have long since fled.

But to Xiao Yi, this is what makes it interesting.

Though his handsome face twitched, it was filled with fighting spirit.

Clang...

Xiao Yi pointed with his sword.

The cold sword edge pointed directly at the Vajra White Ape.

In the enormous, fierce eyes of the Vajra White Ape, the ferocity intensified.

To it, Xiao Yi’s actions were nothing less than a provocative declaration of war.

In this vast Golden Light Dangerous Land, not even the dominator demon beasts dared to challenge it like this, let alone a mere human boy.

Boom...

The massive body of the Vajra White Ape moved instantly.

Its giant legs stomped heavily, suddenly bursting with amazing speed.

The ground instantly sank a hundred meters under the rebound. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The enormous body was not clumsy at all; instead, it was astonishingly fast.

"Good timing." Xiao Yi coldly shouted, swinging his sword.

Eighty thousand starlights descended from the sky.

At the moment when the sword body collided with the Vajra White Ape’s fist, the Sword Shadow was heavy.

With one swing of the sword, twenty Starlight Rivers crushed through.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

Twenty consecutive explosions resounded over a hundred miles.

When the starlight faded, although the Vajra White Ape’s attack was halted, its fist was unharmed.

Boom...

The Vajra White Ape punched out again.

Xiao Yi’s face was solemn, and he also swung his sword, with twenty Starlight Rivers striking together once more.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

The clash between the two was pure brute force, nothing fancy.

The Vajra White Ape is famous for its immense strength.

Xiao Yi’s Starlight Rivers were also overwhelmingly powerful.

"Let’s have a good fight." Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

Even though he had just experienced a major battle not long ago, his Primordial Power within was already depleted.

Yet, he continued to battle, while gulping down Elixir Elixirs to replenish his Primordial Power.

However, within a few seconds, the Vajra White Ape’s body suddenly retreated.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned.

Boom...

A loud explosion.

The body of the Vajra White Ape leapt into the air.

In the sky, several Gale Fierce Birds were flying past.

The body of the Vajra White Ape, like a meteor, charged upwards.

Its massive hand easily caught the Gale Fierce Birds.

In the next second, its hand tore them apart, and the Gale Fierce Birds were instantly dismembered.

Several Demon Beast Cores emitting Golden Light were swallowed by the Vajra White Ape.

At the same time, the aura of the Vajra White Ape abruptly surged.

"Consuming Demon Beast Cores and the Golden Light Power within to forcibly enhance its strength?" Xiao Yi’s expression changed.

In the next moment, he moved.

Not advancing with his sword, but swiftly retreating, hastily fleeing.

The current Vajra White Ape could probably injure a Saint Emperor Realm peak expert with a single punch.

How could he possibly win?

Roar... a roar of rage.

The Vajra White Ape instantly pursued.

"Such speed, this is bad." Xiao Yi’s face changed.

Just at this moment.

"Wretched beast." A loud shout came, breaking through the sky.

Before the person arrived, a Cloud Sword Qi had already appeared instantly.

Clang...

The figure of the Vajra White Ape attacking was immediately blasted back a hundred meters under the Cloud Sword Qi.

A figure stood firmly in front of Xiao Yi.

"Elder Yun Yuan."

...

The first update.

Today’s extra update will still happen, but it will be late.

Similar to before, around 3 a.m.
