Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1123: Chapter 1123: Neither Human nor Demon

Xiao Yi looked towards the volcano’s crater above.

There, five thousand beams of starlight gathered, radiant and dazzling, their brilliance resplendent.

Originally, these beams of starlight were supposed to descend upon the Star Illusion Gloves below.

Yet, at the volcano’s crater, there was an object blocking these beams of starlight.

The five thousand beams of starlight were continuously thinning.

Xiao Yi couldn’t make out the thing within the dazzling starlight.

Upon sensing once more, it was extremely fuzzy, unclear to perceive.

”What is it?” Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

With his perception, within his senses, it was all blurry; all he could sense was that his starlight was being devoured, disappearing.

Moreover, within his starlight, there was the power of starlight.

Five thousand beams gathered at once, formidable beyond measure; presumably, even a Saint King Realm expert would be immediately pierced through and die.

This object actually ignored it directly?

”Courting death.” Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold instantly.

Sending down starlight, especially in such quantity, required considerable primordial power.

Swoosh... Xiao Yi’s figure flicked; he shot towards the volcano’s crater in the sky.

Boom... Before arriving, a surge of Purple Flame had already condensed in his hand.

A streak of fire shot directly into the dazzling starlight at the volcano’s crater.

Upon arriving, a powerful fist engulfed in flame had already gripped the object in front of him.

Xiao Yi was just about to act, but suddenly froze in shock.

”Uh... this...”

Xiao Yi looked at the object in front of him, eyes widening.

It was a little girl, devouring the surrounding starlight heartily.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was gripping her collar.

At this time, the little girl sensed something amiss, slightly turned her head, and her gaze fixated on Xiao Yi’s fist wrapped in Purple Flame.

”Ah, hmm.” The little girl unhesitatingly bit down.

Boom... The Purple Flame on Xiao Yi’s fist instantly vanished.

No, Xiao Yi knew clearly; it wasn’t dispersed, it was eaten.

”My Purple Flame...” Xiao Yi’s expression shifted.

The Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, capable of destroying everything, was instantly devoured...

”A demon beast transformed in human form?” Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.

He knew very well that this was within a perilous domain; no way a human child could exist where demon beasts roamed freely for a hundred thousand miles.

”No, there’s no demonic aura.” Xiao Yi furrowed his brows, then sighed in relief.

As a Demon Hunter, he could certainly recognize a demon beast at first glance.

Clearly, the person in front lacked any demonic aura.

”Hmm?” The little girl heard the sound, looked up with a face full of joy and comfort, and gazed at Xiao Yi.

The next second, her face changed drastically, ”Human?”

In fact, when Xiao Yi clearly saw the person in front of him and sensed no demon beast aura, he subconsciously intended to release his grip.

But the little girl’s exclamation suddenly changed his expression, making him wary; he clenched the little girl’s throat.

”Who are you? No, what are you?” Xiao Yi’s eyes were cold, staring at the person... no, the object in front.

If the person in front was truly human, they wouldn’t exclaim the word ’human.’

Then, there was only one possibility; she wasn’t human.

”How... how is it possible...” The little girl appeared panic-stricken.

”I clearly didn’t sense any human aura nearby... where did this masked man come from?”

Xiao Yi chuckled coldly.

With the Ghost Mask, his aura was entirely concealed, so naturally, no one could sense him.

Even during the previous battle with the Demon Flame Beast, even when he stood firmly on the molten lava’s surface, unless he punched, causing the lava to erupt, the Demon Flame Beast wouldn’t have detected him and showed up.

This little girl discovering him, would be oddly uncharacteristic.

”What on earth are you? Heavenly Extreme Realm aura?” Xiao Yi asked coldly.

Xiao Yi carefully sensed once more; he couldn’t detect any anomaly in the aura of the person before him.

This was also why he couldn’t sense what exactly was devouring his starlight before.

The only perception he had was this aura’s intensity, reaching the Heavenly Extreme Realm level.

Moreover, this aura was extremely pure.

Especially within this Molten Lava World, among complex auras, her pure aura appeared distinctively peculiar.

”I... I... don’t kill me...” The little girl showed fear.

The little girl wore a wholly red robe, opulent beyond compare.

A perfectly delicate carved and crafted face, extremely adorable.

In her panic-stricken expression, a pity emerged in one’s heart.

But, with Xiao Yi’s mind, he wouldn’t care about these.

The object before him wasn’t human, he wouldn’t be swayed the slightest.

However, the thoughts in his mind only lasted half a second.

The next second, Xiao Yi’s eyes suddenly grew dazed.

The hand gripping the little girl’s throat slightly loosened.

In his heart, unconsciously, emerged a sense of comfort and an irresistible desire for closeness.

”So comfortable.” Xiao Yi’s face emerged with a mysterious tranquility.

The little girl’s aura unexpectedly made him unable to extricate himself.

Xiao Yi involuntarily approached the little girl, smelling her.

”Human... human...” The little girl still appeared panic-stricken, not daring to move, allowing Xiao Yi to continuously smell her.

Suddenly... the sense of intimacy and comfort in Xiao Yi’s heart grew unbearable; he embraced the little girl.

For some reason, in Xiao Yi’s heart, the little girl’s cute likeness lingered.

He even affectionately leaned close to the girl’s face, carefully sensing the girl’s comfortable warmth.

The little girl’s originally panic-stricken face had turned completely red.

After a while, Xiao Yi’s dazed eyes suddenly went cold, returning to normal.

”Your aura...” Xiao Yi choked up, hurriedly releasing his tightly clasped hands.

Within him, the Sword Heart cooled, his entire being suddenly became clear.

”Hu... human... what did you want to do just now...” the little girl asked fearfully.

”Nothing.” Xiao Yi’s tone was cold, shaking his head.

But under his mask, his old face had already turned red.

”Damn it.” Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, ”What exactly are you, possessing such pure aura.”

Xiao Yi realized that the strange feeling in his heart just now was due to the girl’s aura.

Such purity, even surpassing mid-grade Spirit Stone.

Such purity, more akin to original aura of heaven and earth, causing all things to uncontrollably desire closeness, to uncontrollably want to possess.

”Forget it.” Xiao Yi shook his head, looked at the girl, ”Sorry for earlier, these starlights are yours.”

With those words, Xiao Yi swiftly departed.

Clearly, the girl’s appearance was merely to consume the starlight, and not with any malice towards him.

Thus, Xiao Yi no longer bothered to pursue the matter.

As for what she was, Xiao Yi had no interest in dealing with it.
