Chapter 1353 Ma.s.sive Sea Demon of Unknown Origin
1353 Ma.s.sive Sea Demon of Unknown Origin
"I"m sorry, Xiao Li. I don"t think we"ll be able to avoid death this time…" Tian Yang muttered in a defeated voice as he dodged the next strike.
"It"s okay… I had prepared for my death even before we left the s.h.i.+p…" Huang Xiao Li sighed.
Instead of panicking, they merely accepted their fate with a calm demeanor.
"I"m glad that I got to meet you at the very end, Tian Yang," she continued.
"Me too. It was fun while it lasted."
At the same time, Huang Chen also accepted his fate and said his goodbyes to his wife and son.
"I"m sorry… I"m sorry for bringing you guys with me despite knowing that it would be a dangerous journey. I"m sorry for being so weak…" Tears streamed down Huang Chen"s face.
"Don"t be, dear. At the very least, I"m glad that we"re able to be together in our final moments."
"Where"s our daughter?"
Huang Chen looked around and sighed, "Looks like we were too busy dodging the attacks and got separated."
They embraced each other while their son brawled his eyes out.
After evading the 9th strike from the sea demon, both Tian Yang and Huang Chen reached their limit and exhausted their spiritual energy.
"That"s it. I don"t have enough spiritual energy to dodge the next one," Tian Yang sighed.
Suddenly, their views darkened, almost as though it"d turned to night.
Tian Yang turned around to see what had caused the blackout.
The sea demon, enraged that its attacks had missed its target multiple times, opted to lift all of its tentacles into the air, preparing for an ultimate a.s.sault.
"Ah…" Tian Yang could only let out a dumbfounded mutter.
Even if his cultivation was at its peak, he wouldn"t have been able to avoid such an attack.
In the next moment, the sea demon slammed all ten of its tentacles down.
Despite knowing that he would be dead in the following second, Tian Yang refused to close his eyes, staring at the horizon.
"Huh…?"
He muttered in a dazed voice, and his eyes widened at the distant silhouette of land that had suddenly materialized on the horizon.
"Ah… what kind of joke is the heavens playing on us?" Tian Yang sighed inwardly as he closed his eyes, silently awaiting his death.
"..."
"..."
"..."
However, Tian Yang remained conscious even several moments later when he should"ve died several moments ago.
DONG!
"Ah!"
Huang Xiao Li suddenly cried out loud in pain.
Tian Yang also felt his entire body slamming into something solid.
He quickly opened his eyes to see that they had actually crashed into a tree, and they were currently lying on the ground for some inexplicable reason.
"Huh? What happened? Where are we? How are we still alive?" Tian Yang was filled with questions.
"T-Tian Yang…? Am I dreaming? Or is this heaven?" Huang Xiao Li looked at him, appearing just as baffled as him.
"I don"t know… but I think we"re still alive…"
Right as Huang Xiao Li opened her mouth to speak, a powerful tremble shook the entire world, followed by a loud slamming noise.
After Tian Yang and Huang Xiao Li fell on the floor from the tremor, they subconsciously turned to look behind them.
In the distance, on the very edge of the horizon, a monumental pillar of water erupted toward the heavens, piercing the clouds, evoking the impression that a deity-like force had collided with the vast expanse of the sea.
If Tian Yang didn"t know any better, he would"ve thought that something ma.s.sive had fallen into the sea, perhaps a meteor of sorts.
The pillar of water eventually subsided, and that"s when Tian Yang discerned a familiar silhouette swiftly disappearing from where the water had surged.
"No way… that can"t be…" Huang Xiao Li covered her mouth in shock after realizing what they"d just witnessed.
Tian Yang grasped his chest and muttered, "That was the sea demon—where we were just at— where we should"ve died. However, for some inexplicable reason, we were teleported here and survived the attack."
"W-What about my father and mother?! My younger brother?! Does that mean they"ve also survived the attack?!" Huang Xiao Li immediately thought of her family.
"I"m not sure, but if we survived, there is a good chance that they managed to survive as well." Tian Yang could only come to this conclusion.
After all, it would make less sense if they were the only ones who experienced the phenomenon.
Huang Xiao Li held onto such hope.
Once they recollected themselves, Huang Xiao Li asked, "Where are we? Another island?"
Tian Yang shook his head and said in a solemn voice, "No… I think we"ve arrived at the Desolate Continent. I saw it right before we were teleported, and judging by our position, it"s exactly the place I saw."
"Let me recover some of my cultivation before we look for your parents." Tian Yang then said.
"Okay. I"ll watch over you."
After finding an isolated place to cultivate, Tian Yang immediately began his cultivation.
Meanwhile, back at the Immortal Monastery, a beautiful woman sensed something and retrieved a dull-colored object that appeared to be shattered.
"Is something the matter, Elder Sun?" The individual before her inquired upon seeing the frown on her face.
Elder Sun sighed, "I knew that reckless brat was up to something when he suddenly took three months of leave and disappeared from the sect without a word. Fortunately, I had secretly given him a life-saving treasure, or he would"ve died just now."
"This reckless brat… are you referring to the Suicidal Maniac? To give him a life-saving treasure without telling him… you must really care about him." The person before her chuckled jokingly.
Elder Sun became a little fl.u.s.tered and quickly said, "What do you know?! He still owes me a debt, so simply I cannot let him die before he repays that debt!"
"Whatever you say." The individual laughed out loud.
And he continued, "Anyways, are you going to save him now? He might still be in danger for all we know."
After a moment of silence, Elder Sun spoke, "He"s like a c.o.c.kroach, resistant and almost undying. Although I"ve saved his life many times, I"ve never had to save him twice in a row. He"ll manage like always."
Naturally, Tian Yang was not aware of their conversation, only learning about it much later.
