Path of Absolute Transcendence

Chapter 59: 59. Dragon

Kai stayed inside the bush for two months to heal himself. He had enough food and water for him to last three months. It was his habit to store food, and because of that, he was able to live; otherwise, he would have died from hunger.

As a peak supernatural realm cultivator, Kai can survive without eating or drinking anything for a month, but if it exceeds that, it is hard to consider and in Kai's body condition it is certain death.

The food accelerated the healing process because it provided necessary nutrients to his body.

Kai is now capable of walking, but he can't do any work that puts strain on his body, or else the bones may break again.

Kai left the bush and started searching for a safe hideout.

'Why is this place desolate? I didn't see a single life form' Kai thought while walking. After searching for half a day, he finally found a good place to stay.

'This place might be good, and the location is also perfect for hiding.'

Kai found a small cave under the root of a tree. He found the place accidentally while resting after a long walk.

His physical strength is weaker than that of an ordinary mortal, so Kai has to rest after walking for half a day.

He arranged the cave to make his life more comfortable; he didn't get proper rest while hiding inside the bush. It was hard for him to even move inside, and the pain also didn't let him sleep.

So, he had to cultivate almost all the time to relieve his pain. But Kai now slept as soon as he arranged the cave.

'Finally a good rest after a long time.' Kai thought happily after waking up.

After relaxing for a bit, Kai started, absorbing the wood elemental energy, to heal himself completely.

Kai stayed in the cave for a month, and he is now almost healed. The main reason that he healed the injuries fast is because of the medicine pills from Yang Wudi.

Yang Wudi's storage ring contains a lot of medicine pills, and Kai uses all of them to accelerate his healing.

'It's time to explore this place now.' Kai thought curiously.

Kai left the cave and started wandering. After he walked around a mile, he faced a huge surprise.

Suddenly, before Kai, a mysterious and colossal black dragon appeared. The size of the dragon cannot be measured. Its obsidian scales, smooth and razor-edged, adorned its form. As the majestic creature unfurled its wings, a dark flame flickered at the tip of its tail, casting an ominous glow. The very air around it seemed to vibrate with an aura of regal power.

The giant black dragon noticed Kai's presence and turned its head in his direction.

Kai felt a cold gaze locked on him. A cold sweat appeared all over his body; every fiber of his being screamed for him to run.

The dragon inspected Kai for a few moments, flapped its wings, and left the place.

'Phew! It's finally over.' Kai thought in relief. Every second that the dragon inspected him seemed like an eternity for him; his brain stopped thinking at that time.

Kai didn't know the cultivation level of the dragon, but he knew it must be above the saint realm. The grand elder he saw before didn't exclude such a natural pressure, but when he saw the dragon, he felt like an inferior being in front of a superior being.

He didn't plan to escape, or even something like that, because he wouldn't be able to escape from that dragon no matter how much he planned. In the face of absolute strength, schemes are useless.

The scheme is only applicable if the strength of the cultivator is equal or has a little difference.

The reason he has survived so far in this desolate place without getting attacked by any beasts is because of that dragon. Kai is in the lair of that dragon, and no beast dares to come inside its lair.

'I don't know how to describe my luck'

Landing inside a dragon lair helped him and also saved his life, but the same dragon lair can kill him.

The dragon was too lazy to pay attention to him, so it let him live. But that won't happen all the time, so he had to escape this place, but that's the hardest part.

After confirming that the dragon had completely left, Kai decided to wander around the place. He knew worrying about the situation would only make it worse, so he decided to act normally.

Kai had already eaten all the food that he stored inside the storage ring; now he had to start searching for food. Although all of his injuries are healed, there is still hidden danger, and it can only be healed by a tier 4 treasure. So, he had to maintain his health to eat and avoid making the injuries even worse.

After searching for a long time, Kai finally found his prey. It was a big rabbit with one horn on its head.

'Thank you for providing me food; I shall call you one-horned rabbit from now on.'

Kai took his sword and used phantom steps to attack it, but the one-horned rabbit suddenly turned its head and attacked him with its horn.

The horn glowed with a bright light, and it made Kai close his eyes.

'Oh shi*!'

Kai cursed his carelessness and tried to avoid the attack, but his speed wasn't nearly enough to avoid the attack, and the horn pierced his shoulder.

Kai used his sword to throw the rabbit on the ground, but the rabbit didn't let him do that; instead, it bit the sword and broke it into pieces.

'What a strong teeth!'

Kai's sword was already in bad condition, and he didn't have time to change it, but it was capable of withstanding a bite from a small animal.

Kai threw the broken sword aside and decided to fight with his hands. The rabbit attacked him again, but Kai used the same phantom steps and appeared behind the rabbit.

He manifested Will power on his fist and struck its abdomen. It screamed and hit a tree due to force.

But a sudden change happened, and it was life-threatening for Kai. His chances of surviving became slim in a matter of seconds.
