Chapter 684: Fighting the Flying Leviathan

Chapter 684: Fighting the Flying Leviathan

Bang!

Yuan was sent flying after he tried to block the Flying Leviathan’s attack.

“Fuck! He’s a goner!” The cultivators there immediately thought Yuan had died from that attack and returned to fighting the Flying Leviathan without checking his condition.

After all, there was no way that a low-level Spirit Lord like him could survive a low-level Spirit Emperor’s attack head-on and survive.

After flying for almost three miles from the impact, Yuan finally managed to stop himself.

“Whoa…” He released a sigh of relief when he realized that he was still alive.

In fact, besides feeling a little numb in his arms, he didn’t really feel any pain from the attack just now.

“With the Invisible Dragon Cloak that doubles my defenses alongside my defensive arrays, I can survive even a Spirit Emperor’s attack as long as I don’t tank it with my bare body… Furthermore, I can injure the Flying Leviathan with my Sword Aura… I can do it! I can defeat this Flying Leviathan!”

A bright smile appeared on Yuan’s face when he realized that he could win this fight, and he immediately began flying back to the battlefield.

However, he stopped moving when he suddenly thought of something.

‘Wait a moment… The Flying Leviathan should be occupied and distracted by the other cultivators right now. I can probably use this chance to deal some serious damage to the Flying Leviathan…’

Unfortunately, he was distracted by a powerful pressure before he could come up with a plan.

“What the?!”

A massive fish suddenly leaped out of the water and at Yuan with its mouth wide open.

He quickly reacted by controlling the Starry Abyss, boring a hole in the fish before it could reach him.

‘I was so distracted by the Flying Leviathan that I forgot other Sea Demons exist in this water…’ He sighed.

However, shortly after Yuan killed the Sea Demon, another random Sea Demon leaped out of the water to attack him.

“Just how many Sea Demons are there?!”

He decided to use his divine sense to look under the water, but he immediately regretted that action.

What he saw inside the water was true horror, where hundreds of powerful Sea Demons were swimming around, and he was only able to see about 50 meters deep due to some mysterious force that prevented him from looking any deeper than that.

After shivering away his fear, Yuan quickly flew higher towards the sky.

However, no matter how high he flew, the Sea Demons were somehow able to barely reach him just by leaping out of the water.

Yuan eventually gave up trying to linger around and continued flying back to the Flying Leviathan.

Once he could see the Flying Leviathan again, Yuan began gathering spiritual energy inside the Empyrean Overlord.

The Flying Leviathan that had been fighting the other cultivators suddenly stopped moving when it noticed the reappearance of Yuan’s aura when he was about half a mile away from it, and it immediately began flying towards him again.

Seeing that the Flying Leviathan had noticed him, Yuan gathered as much spiritual energy as he could before releasing the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike at it.

The Flying Leviathan opened its mouth and shot out another water bullet at Yuan.

Bang!

The Heaven Splitting Sword Strike and the water bullet collided, creating a powerful blast that swept the place with spiritual energy, creating a massive wave that nearly consumed the cultivators there.

“Holy sh*t, he’s still alive!”

“And he nearly killed us just now!”

“Hey! It appears that the young man can fight the Flying Leviathan by himself! If that’s the case, there’s no point for us to stay here! We’ll only get caught up in their fight like we almost did just now!”

The cultivators there began flying back to the ship when they realized that Yuan was powerful enough to fight the Flying Leviathan by himself.

Of course, their decision was influenced by the Stairway to Heaven, as they weren’t truly meant to fight the Flying Leviathan.

After all, this was Yuan’s trial. The others are only there to set the atmosphere for him.

“What the?! They’re leaving me alone to fight the Flying Leviathan by myself?!”

However, Yuan was left dumbfounded when he saw the cultivators returning to the ship, leaving him out here alone with a low-level Spirit Emperor Sea Demon.

Even though he knew he shouldn’t blame them, it was still a bitter feeling to see them abandon him.

“Whatever! This is my trial! I shouldn’t have expected any help in the first place!”

Yuan quickly cleared his mind and focused on the Flying Leviathan again.

“Come at me, you stupid flying snake! Let’s get this over with so that I can move onto my next trial!” Yuan tightened his grip on the Empyrean Overlord before flying at the monster.

“Heavenly Domain!”

Yuan tried to use the Heavenly Domain on the Flying Leviathan, but its body was too big for it to be effective, so he quickly gave up on that and decided to just attack it until he defeated it.

Despite its large frame and threatening presence, the Flying Leviathan didn’t have any crazy attacks that could threaten Yuan’s life, and Yuan realized this after flying around for a few minutes to see if it had any special attacks that he hasn’t seen yet.

Furthermore, because of its massive size, it was not very agile when attacking, allowing Yuan to easily dodge most of its attacks as long as he paid attention.

The only thing he really had to worry about was the water bullet, but even that attack is easily recognizable.

And for the next few minutes, Yuan would fly around the Flying Leviathan in a way that made it hard for the Flying Leviathan to attack him while sending his own attacks at it whenever he could.

In just a couple of minutes, the Flying Leviathan’s body was covered in small and large wounds created by Yuan’s sword and dagger.

The larger and deeper wounds were done by his sword that was strengthened by Sword Aura while the shallower wounds were created by the Starry Abyss.

Although his dagger didn’t cause the Flying Leviathan as much pain as his sword, it actually created more wounds on its body due to its invisibility and the fact that it could be controlled by just Yuan’s thoughts.

Eventually, the Flying Leviathan began slowing down due to losing too much blood.

Yuan took advantage of this by becoming more aggressive towards it.

Half an hour later, the Flying Leviathan’s movements had slowed down by so much that Yuan could no longer feel any threat from it.

However, he didn’t let his guard down and continued to wear down the Flying Leviathan until it was on the verge of death.

The Flying Leviathan eventually realized the fact that it was slowly being defeated by a human cultivator that was two realms below it, and it released its loudest roar yet.

Yuan prepared himself for the unknown, but to his surprise, the Flying Leviathan began moving towards the water.

“It wants to escape?!”

He immediately began chasing after it.

He didn’t want the Flying Leviathan to return for revenge after it recovered its strength, so he has to defeat it now.

Yuan’s body suddenly erupted with a domineering aura that was so sharp that it split the water around him.

“Vanishing Ghost’s Soundless Blade!”

A powerful sword light flew towards the escaping Flying Leviathan without making even the slightest noise until it reached the Flying Leviathan, slicing its steel-like scales as though it was butter before cutting into its skin and meat.

Sha!

The Flying Leviathan was cut in half, but the sword strike didn’t stop and continued until it reached the water, also splitting the sea in half.

The people watching from the ship were shocked speechless after witnessing the whole act.

They have never seen someone single-handedly defeat a Flying Leviathan before, much less force it to run for its life.

From the beginning to end, Yuan was pretty much bullying the Flying Leviathan to its slow but inevitable death.

Yuan did not immediately celebrate his victory and silently watched the Flying Leviathan’s body sink deeper and deeper into the sea until he could no longer see it with his divine sense.

There was also a large area of the sea that had turned red due to the Flying Leviathan’s blood.

Once he was certain that the Flying Leviathan would not return, Yuan closed his eyes and released a sigh of relief before making his way back to the ship.
