Chapter 1352 A Cold Shiver

1352 A Cold Shiver

”Three days…” Tian Yang mumbled.

”Thank you for watching over me, and sorry for the inconvenience,” he said a moment later.

”Please, nothing you do will inconvenience us after everything youʼve done for us.” Huang Chen said.

”Have you searched the place yet?” Tian Yang then asked.

”Yes, itʼs empty but safe.”

”Good. Then allow me to recover my spiritual energy before we figure out our next plan.”

Tian Yang proceeded to spend the entire day recovering his spiritual energy.

”Whatʼs the plan now? Weʼre both out of pills and we donʼt have a clue how much further our destination is.” Huang Chen asked.

”We could gamble it, or we can spend some more time on this island to improve our cultivation, which will improve our chances of reaching the Desolate Continent.” Tian Yang suggested.

Huang Chen looked at his son and sighed, ”Unfortunately, our son is not a cultivator, and we only have enough food to last him half a month.”

”Thatʼs enough time for me to improve my cultivation even a little. I reached Spirit Lord not long ago, so I probably wonʼt be able to have a breakthrough in such a short amount of time without any treasures.”

”If you need treasures, I have some that might be of use to you.” Huang Chen said after pondering for a moment.

”Are you sure?” Tian Yang asked.

”Honestly, our primary objective at the Desolate Continent is to deliver these treasures, so they actually belong to someone else. However, weʼre in no position to ponder the consequences. Iʼll deal with them after I survive,” Huang Xiao Li admitted, acknowledging the current urgency.

”Iʼm sure the owners will understand our situation.” Tian Yang said.

Normally, one wouldnʼt hand out treasures so easily, but they were truly in a dangerous position. Furthermore, Huang Chen would not benefit from these treasures nearly as much as Tian Yang would, so he decided to give them to the person who saved their family.

After receiving the treasures, Tian Yang immediately went into seclusion and began cultivating.

Over the next two weeks, Huang Xiao Li and Huang Chen also tried to improve their cultivation as much as possible.

A week into their cultivation, Huang Xiao Li made a breakthrough, entering Spirit Grandmaster.

Perhaps it was the severity of their predicament, but Huang Xiao Liʼs talents truly began to shine at this moment.

Tian Yang made his breakthrough on the 12th day, reaching second-level Spirit Lord. As for Huang Chen, he barely made any improvements.

Once prepared, they gathered at the edge of the island.

”Are you guys ready? Thereʼs no going back, and we will either survive or die trying.” Tian Yang looked at them with a solemn expression.

”Itʼs a miracle that we made it this far. Hopefully, the heavens will bless us with another island.” Huang Chen showed an enthusiastic smile.

Huang Xiao Li and her mother silently nodded their heads.

A few minutes later, after mentally preparing themselves, they left the island and began soaring towards the Desolate Continent.

After his breakthrough, Tian Yang could fly without stopping for a little under twenty-four hours.

Everything seemed to be going well at first, and even the sea demons werenʼt attacking as often, a sign that they were getting close to the Desolate Continent.

However, twelve hours into their journey, Tian Yang suddenly felt a cold shiver run down his spine.

ʼT-This feeling…ʼ

After experiencing numerous life-or-death situations, Tian Yang was no stranger to danger. He had even developed something akin to a sixth sense after narrowly escaping death multiple times.

Over time, he discerned a subtle yet unmistakable shiver that would course through him, heralding the imminent approach of danger.

”Careful, something is coming!” Tian Yang warned them.

”What is?! I donʼt sense anything!” Huang Chen asked for more details.

ƈοm

”I donʼt know, but I know that something is definitely coming!”
Sure enough, after a few more minutes, Tian Yang and Huang Chen could sense the approach of something massive, its immense aura looming over them.

ʼW-What is this feeling?! Its aura is even stronger than the Flying Leviathan!ʼ Tian Yang broke out in a cold sweat upon sensing the unfathomable aura emanating from this entity.

”T-Tian Yang… behind you…” Huang Xiao Li suddenly muttered in a terrified voice, her entire body trembling in fear.

Tian Yang turned, his gaze locking onto the behemoth behind him, and his eyes widened with profound astonishment at the sight of the colossal entity that bore an uncanny resemblance to a giant squid.

The giant squid possessed a triangular head, and even though only its eyes were barely peeking out of the water, its head was massive enough to obstruct the sky view. Additionally, numerous long tentacles revealed themselves, each several times larger than the Flying Leviathan.

”What kind of sea demon is that?!” Tian Yang exclaimed, hoping Huang Chen would know.

However, Huang Chen was just as shocked and ignorant as him.

”I-I donʼt know! I have never seen or heard of such a monster before!”

As Tian Yang tried to comprehend what was happening, the giant squid sea demon suddenly acted, slamming one of its massive tenacles in their direction.

”Itʼs attacking! Move out of the way!” Huang Chen roared.

Both Tian Yang and Huang Chen worked their Dantian to its limit in order to dodge the tentacle, not caring about how much spiritual energy it wasted.

Their speed skyrocketed, surpassing even the flying treasureʼs speed.

In just a few seconds, Tian Yang and Huang Chen burned enough spiritual energy that wouldʼve lasted them an hour, and they still barely managed to dodge the attack.

Unfortunately, things only got worse for them when the giant sea demon launched another tentacle at them.

”Itʼs coming again!”

They immediately used another hourʼs worth of spiritual energy without hesitation.

ʼIs this it? Am I going to die here…?ʼ Tian Yang could not see any light at the end of their dark tunnel.

They were neither fast enough to outpace the sea demon nor possessed enough spiritual energy to continuously evade its attacks. At this rate, their demise seemed inevitable, a matter of mere moments away.
