Chapter 683: Flying Leviathan
“Please! Yuan! You don’t have to do this alone!” Huang Xiao Li banged on the barrier with her fists.
However, Yuan merely shook his head at her before flying off the ship and towards the Flying Leviathan’s aura with the other cultivators, leaving pretty much just the Huang Family and their bodyguards onboard.
Of course, the mortals and those that cannot fight also remained on the ship while everyone else went to greet the Flying Leviathan far away from the ship so their fight won’t affect the ship and those onboard.
After Yuan left, Huang Xiao Li immediately began trying to destroy the array created by Yuan, but to her absolute shock, she was unable to find any weaknesses in the array, making it incredibly difficult to break!
‘How is he already this proficient with arrays?! He only learned the basics a few days ago! I have studied arrays under my father for over 20 years, yet I cannot defeat an array created by a complete newbie that learned arrays just a few days ago?! Impossible!’
“Father! Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and break this array so that we can help him!” Huang Xiao Li turned to her father for help, as she was confident that he had the ability to break the array.
However, Huang Chen remained standing there without moving a muscle, his gaze silently staring in the direction that Yuan went.
He closed his eyes and sighed, “The young man has already made his decision. I cannot go against it.”
“What?! That’s nonsense! He’s going to die if we leave him alone!”
“I’m sure he’s already prepared himself for that. Let’s not disrespect his resolution.”
He then looked at the array surrounding them and smiled, “I didn’t expect that he would also be an Array Master. He’s very good at it, too. Perhaps even better than you, Xiao Li. He must have trained very hard for many years to achieve this result.”
Huang Xiao Li frowned and said, “He only learned about arrays two days ago.”
“What did you just say?” Huang Chen turned to look at her with his eyes as wide as saucers.
“He didn’t even know about arrays until two days ago. That was also when I taught him the basics of arrays. And in that short amount of time, he’s managed to surpass me when it comes to low-level arrays.” She recalled.
“T-That’s absurd! How can someone become an Array Master from a complete beginner in just two short days? I don’t believe it!” Huang Chen exclaimed.
Huang Xiao Li shrugged and said, “You also wouldn’t believe what I witnessed in the room before we came here. Yuan… He’s a cultivation genius— monster…”
“That’s why I cannot bear to see him die. It would be a major loss to the cultivation world,” she sighed.
After a moment of silence, Huang Chen also sighed, “Even then, the young man has made a decision, and I will respect it.”
Meanwhile, a few hundred meters away from the ship, Yuan and about a hundred other cultivators anxiously waited for the Flying Leviathan to show up.
After waiting for a few minutes, they could finally see a figure in the distance that was quickly approaching them.
This figure started out as a small dot, but it grew very quickly until the cultivators could see very clearly what they were up against.
The Flying Leviathan’s massive body was around 50 meters in diameter and hundreds of meters in length. Its long body was covered in blue scales that looked slightly green when shone by the sunlight.
However, its most distinctive feature was the massive wings on its back that created powerful waves with every flap.
The cultivators could feel themselves getting pushed back by the wind created by the Flying Leviathan despite being miles away.
*ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR*
The Flying Leviathan released a deafening roar filled with excitement when it saw the cultivators, sending shivers down their backs.
“Fuck! We’re going to fight that monster?! There’s no way we can defeat that!”
“Stay focused! We won’t defeat it if you give up before the fight even starts!”
“If you give up without a fight, you’ll definitely die! If you fight, there’s still a chance that you’ll survive!”
Many of the cultivators there have already lost their will to fight just by looking at the Flying Leviathan and feeling its immense aura that only got stronger as it got closer.
Yuan withdrew the Empyrean Overlord and the Starry Abyss and tried his best to clear his mind, but it wasn’t easy with all of the screaming and loud noises there.
Once the Flying Leviathan was close enough, Yuan created a few more arrays that he’d learned from the book Huang Xiao Li had given him and applied them to himself.
These arrays boosted his defense, strength, and all of his other senses.
With the help of these arrays, his actual prowess rose to another level if not a few levels.
“The Flying Leviathan is here!”
The cultivators there began rushing at the Flying Leviathan when it got close enough, and all of them began using all of their treasures to suppress it.
However, the Flying Leviathan’s scales were incredibly durable, allowing it to defend and even deflect most of the cultivators’ attack.
As for Yuan’s attacks…
*ROOOOOOOOOOOAR*
The Flying Leviathan suddenly released a painful cry when it felt something sharp pierce the scales it was very proud and confident in.
It immediately began looking for the cause of such pain, and it quickly spotted Yuan, who was near the end of its tail and swinging his large sword that was penetrating all of its defenses as though they didn’t exist.
Enraged, the Flying Leviathan ignored the other cultivators and began focusing on Yuan.
It suddenly opened its large mouth and spat out a jet stream of water that flew at Yuan like a bullet— a very large bullet that could easily collapse an entire skyscraper.
“Watch out!”
The cultivators there called out to Yuan, who immediately placed his sword in front of him to block it, as the ball of water was too large for him to dodge properly.
