1350 Escaping the Flying Leviathan(2)

"Tian Yang! Come!" Huang Xiao Li called for him.

"You can go first! I'll catch up!" he said.

Huang Chen immediately activated the flying treasure, shooting into the distance in the blink of an eye.

"No!!! Our blood is on your hands, you bastard!"

The people cursed at Tian Yang after seeing their last hope disappear before their very eyes.

Tian Yang merely sighed, "This is the outcome for those without power… Blame yourself for lacking it. I will also do the same if I fail to survive."

"Screw you!"

"You monster!"

"I hope you die!"

Ignoring the cursing and crying behind him, Tian Yang jumped out of the hole and used his spiritual energy to soar in the sky, chasing after the Huang Family.

Just as Tian Yang disembarked from the ship, he witnessed a colossal figure soaring towards it from the opposite side.

'The Flying Leviathan!'

The Flying Leviathan collided with the ship, baring its teeth and obliterating the massive vessel with a single bite.

As if it were a toy smashed by a hammer, the ship shattered into many pieces, and a vast expanse of the ocean became tainted with the blood of those who failed to escape.

Tens of thousands of people died in the blink of an eye. If Tian Yang had escaped even a few seconds later, he would've most likely died to the Flying Leviathan like the others.

While the Flying Leviathan went after those who tried to escape by swimming away, Tian Yang used all of his spiritual energy to speed away, disappearing into the distance.

Sometime later, Tian Yang reunited with the Huang Family, who made room for him in the flying treasure by moving the little boy to his mother's lap.

"Tian Yang! You're safe!" Huang Xiao Li went to embrace him.

She saw the ship being destroyed by the Flying Leviathan even from miles away and worried that he didn't make it out in time.

"It's still too early to relax. I saw the Flying Leviathan chasing after those who tried to escape." Tian Yang said.

Huang Chen then asked, "What should we do now?"

"We can only continue flying towards the Desolate Continent and hope the Flying Leviathan doesn't chase after us."

"But we won't make it to the Desolate Continent. This flying treasure will be able to fly for a few days at most before it loses all spiritual energy."

"That's fine. We will get as close to the Desolate Continent as possible, and once the flying treasure runs out of spiritual energy, we will fly there ourselves. Hopefully, we will make it there before we also run out of spiritual energy, or we find islands that can be used as temporary shelters for us to restore our energy." Tian Yang explained his plan that relied entirely on their luck.

While neither Huang Xiao Li, her mother, nor her younger brother had the capability to fly, her father, Huang Chen, was a Spirit Lord. This meant that Huang Chen and Tian Yang could share the load and carry those who could not fly. Without either one of them, they wouldn't have been able to carry the others to safety.

After a moment of silence, Huang Chen spoke, "Even if we don't make it to the Desolate Continent, I'm just glad that I've managed to acquire a few more days to spend with my family. This is all thanks to you, Tian Yang."

He proceeded to turn to face Huang Xiao Li and continued, "I'm sorry that I have been trying to get you to stop visiting him…"

Huang Xiao Li uncontrollably blushed after being exposed by her father in such a fashion, as he made it sound like she went against her own father just to visit Tian Yang, which wasn't false.

Tian Yang could only smile and said, "I'm going to cultivate. We'll need as much spiritual energy as we can spare."

Huang Chen nodded and said, "I will continue to control the flying treasure."

Tian Yang closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

The next two days were peaceful yet nerve-wracking at the same time.

"It's been two days without any sign of the Flying Leviathan… Do you think we're in the clear?" Huang Xiao Li asked.

"I don't want to jinx it, but we should be…" Huang Chen nodded.

"It appears the heavens have yet to completely abandon us…" Huang Chen sighed in relief.

"How much time do we have left on this flying treasure?" Tian Yang suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

"Not long. We have another day at most."

Tian Yang pondered for a moment before speaking, "At our speed, we should be getting pretty close to the Desolate Continent. If we see any islands on the way there, we might just barely reach our destination by flying."

After another 18 hours of flight, Huang Chen warned them, "Get ready, this flying treasure is reaching its limit. I would give it a few more minutes before it becomes useless."ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

Normally, one could use their own spiritual energy to supply a flying treasure to keep it running. However, during Tian Yang's time, flying treasures operated a little differently, as they all had a set amount of spiritual energy, and once they ran out, they would no longer be useful.

While there exist flying treasures that used their operator's spiritual energy, they were exceedingly rare and only reserved for powerful Immortals or renowned families.

Ordinary flying treasures were also rare and expensive, hence why the Huang Family could only afford a single one despite their somewhat wealthy status.

"I will carry my wife and son. Tian Yang, I will leave my daughter to you." Huang Chen said.

Tian Yang nodded, "Alright."

A few minutes later, right as the flying treasure used its last bit of spiritual energy, Tian Yang jumped off while carrying Huang Xiao Li in the princess position.

Huang Chen also did the same, carrying his wife who was carrying their son.

Not wanting to waste even a little of spiritual energy, they immediately sped towards the direction of the Desolate Continent.
