Chapter 684 - Fighting The Flying Leviathan (1/2)

”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 shit, 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?!”
