"What’s going on?"

Xiao Yi’s brow furrowed.

At this moment, the Vajra White Ape’s aura had already reached the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

Yet now, the surge in aura still hadn’t stopped.

In the previous month’s nocturnal battles, the Vajra White Ape’s aura had never changed like this.

All along, after consuming the Golden Light, it only reached the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

But now, there was clearly a sign of breakthrough beyond this level.

This level, he could barely handle.

But once surpassed, it was beyond his ability to contend with.

Xiao Yi’s figure flickered, arriving at the side of the Vajra White Ape’s massive body.

Sure enough, behind that huge figure lay the corpses of several Gale Fierce Birds.

"So that’s it, what a cunning beast." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

Perhaps this Vajra White Ape had long calculated that he would come to trouble it every night.

So today, it had specially prepared the Demon Beast Core.

Once Xiao Yi arrived, it swallowed the Demon Beast Core to amplify its strength.

If the guess was correct, this Vajra White Ape had already placed the cores of these Gale Fierce Birds in its mouth.

Xiao Yi watched indifferently.

The Vajra White Ape’s strength kept increasing, and he couldn’t stop it.

After all, it was merely the Vajra White Ape digesting the power of other demon beasts.

Xiao Yi only hoped it wouldn’t ultimately break through to the Martial Arts Great Power level.

Encountering opponents of that level now, he would have no choice but to flee far away.

After a while, the Vajra White Ape’s aura increased and then stopped.

Its aura still remained at the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, not reaching the Martial Arts Great Power level.

By estimation, it was extremely strong within the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

"Whew." Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, simultaneously realizing it.

This Vajra White Ape initially reached the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm after absorbing the Golden Light Power.

Now after digesting other demon beasts’ cores, its strength had increased considerably.

But, the cores it digested definitely did not contain the Golden Light Power.

Golden Light Power, even if the demon beasts here could absorb it, it was only during the night; once the night faded, the Golden Light Power would dissipate too.

And he came to trouble this Vajra White Ape precisely as night fell.

So the cores of the demon beasts this Vajra White Ape killed definitely didn’t have Golden Light Power.

Merely ordinary demon beast cores, even if it absorbed the power inside, the strength boost would be limited.

This is precisely why this Vajra White Ape still lingered at the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

Roar...

At this moment, the Vajra White Ape roared angrily, instantly attacking Xiao Yi.

Its massive fist, like a small mountain.

Xiao Yi brandished his sword to block it, the sword body trembled, ten or more Starlight Rivers crushed out.

Bang... a booming sound.

As soon as the Starlight River touched the giant fist, it instantly dispersed.

Those over ten Starlight Rivers were at this moment no match for the Vajra White Ape’s punch.

"Indeed, its strength has increased considerably." Xiao Yi’s sword strike was merely testing the Vajra White Ape’s strength level.

"Luckily, it’s not at the Martial Arts Great Power level."

Whoosh... Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, instantly evading the Vajra White Ape’s massive punch.

Almost as he dodged, the ground had been blasted into a giant pit.

The surrounding area of several hundred meters instantly collapsed, the soil turned into dust.

"Fortunately, I’ve increased my strength quite a bit these days." Xiao Yi sneered, slashing his sword.

As the sword fell, eighty-five thousand beams of starlight converged.

The starlight, transforming into a river.

At this moment, the Starlight River was a few shades thicker and more formidable than a month ago.

A single strike, and a full 30 Starlight Rivers exploded at the Vajra White Ape’s fist in an instant.

Boom...

Amidst a great roar, a trace of disbelief flickered in the massive pupils of the Vajra White Ape.

Its enormous fist, seemingly indestructible, unexpectedly shattered in an instant.

All its eyes saw was a flash of cold white sword light.

The next moment, a piercing pain erupted at its fist.

When the cold white sword light dissipated, the massive fist was covered in blood, with bones exposed.

Roar... The Vajra White Ape roared angrily.

However, this roar clearly carried the tone of a painful wail.

"You lost." Xiao Yi pointed his sword straight.

Contrasting his last month’s direct sword point as a provocation; this time, it was absolute confidence from a strong being to a weaker one.

Xiao Yi, with one sword strike shattering its fist, could also take its life with a single stroke.

Roar...

The Vajra White Ape suddenly pounded the ground in fury.

Although it was a one-handed strike, it shook the surrounding area of a thousand meters like an Earth-shattering event.

Centered on the Vajra White Ape, the ground rapidly cracked and collapsed.

In almost an instant, the cracks and collapse extended beneath Xiao Yi’s feet.

Xiao Yi stomped his feet, instantly retreating.

Meanwhile, several hundred meters ahead, the Vajra White Ape’s massive body leapt into the air.

Not to attack, but using its giant force, it leaped instantly and retreated.

"Trying to run?" Xiao Yi sneered, eighty-five thousand beams of starlight enveloping him, transforming into a streaming light to chase through the air.

Boom... boom... boom...

Each jump of the Vajra White Ape’s body resounded with a boom.

Xiao Yi pursued swiftly, yet after a short while, his expression gradually turned grim.

Because the distance between him and the Vajra White Ape was widening.

The Vajra White Ape’s escaping leaps far exceeded his speed of controlling the air.

After all, the Vajra White Ape’s strength at this moment was the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, and extremely strong at that.

While Xiao Yi, enveloped in eighty-five thousand beams of starlight, was merely close to the Ninth Layer of the Saint Emperor Realm.

He could defeat this Vajra White Ape thanks to the technique of unleashing 30 sword strikes simultaneously.

But this technique was useful for combat, not at all for pursuit.

Naturally, if this Vajra White Ape was intent on fleeing, Xiao Yi simply couldn’t catch up.

"Forget it." Xiao Yi muttered helplessly.

To him, even if he killed this Vajra White Ape, he’d just get an extra Golden Light Pill at the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

If he couldn’t catch up, then he’d stop pursuing.

Xiao Yi gave up the chase.

Yet, at this moment, the Vajra White Ape leaping in the distance also halted its escape.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.

Before he could react, the Vajra White Ape suddenly hugged a small mountain, hurling it instantly.

The Vajra White Ape’s strength, how immense.

The small mountain, suddenly like a meteor, crashed forward.

Xiao Yi’s face twitched, the Vajra White Ape was infamous as a violent demon beast.

Clang... a flash of cold white sword light passed.

Xiao Yi initially thought that this sword would easily shatter the small mountain.

However, the monstrous force contained within the mountain instantly sent him flying a thousand meters, sword and all.

"Such overwhelming strength, how is that possible?" Xiao Yi’s expression changed.

Such terrifying power, he had only felt it in battle with one person.

It was the Beiyin Sect Great Elder.

This meant that the level of gigantic force just now had already reached...

"Martial Arts Great Power." Xiao Yi’s face suddenly turned extremely grave.

At the same time, the savage expression on the Vajra White Ape’s face reemerged in the distance.
