1371 Golden Ginseng Roots

"Shit! How am I supposed to defeat a Flying Leviathan at my level?! I'd only be asking for a quick death!" Tian Yang panicked a little when he saw the Flying Leviathan soaring in his direction.

However, upon closer inspection, he noticed that the Flying Leviathan had the cultivation of a Sixth-level Spirit Lord, being only a single level above his own.

With that being said, that solitary level represented a significant gap that most people wouldn't be able to surpass.

Tian Yang gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "How are you going to avenge Xiao Li if you cannot even take care of a single Flying Leviathan?!"

Without waiting for the Flying Leviathan to arrive, Tian Yang tightly held onto his sword and flew towards the monster on his own accord with a fierce expression on his face, evening releasing a battle cry right before confronting the sea demon.

The Flying Leviathan had an immensely large figure compared to him, just a single scale on its body was enough to cover Tian Yang's entire figure. Moreover, it was extremely swift and agile with its movements.

Fortunately, its attacks were quite simple, as it only knew how to swing its tail and charge at him in a straight line. With that being said, Tian Yang still struggled to dodge its attacks and nearly got hit several times.

Every time he narrowly dodged its attack, Tian Yang would counterattack, sliding his blade across the Flying Leviathan's body. However, due to the thick scales protecting its body, Tian Yang could only leave behind superficial scratches on its body.

'I don't need to kill it in several strikes! Not that I am even capable of such a feat with my pathetic strength. Instead, I will bleed it to death!'

With his plan solidified inside his mind, Tian Yang would spend the next several hours dancing in the sky with the Flying Levithan, slowly leaving behind cuts that were just deep enough to make it bleed.

As time passed, he became more adept at dodging the Flying Leviathan's attacks with increased ease, allowing him to focus more on managing his spiritual energy usage so that he doesn't exhaust himself before the Flying Leviathan is dead.

However, he got a little too comfortable when he saw how the Flying Leviathan's body was soaked in its own blood, and he failed to dodge one of its attacks.

When struck by the Flying Leviathan's tail, Tian Yang felt as though an entire mountain had been hurled at him, propelling him into the distance.

"Shit!"

Tian Yang coughed up a mouthful of blood right before he smacked into the ocean, creating a powerful wave that spread in all directions.

He could tell that his entire left arm was broken, as well as the left side of his ribs.

'I need to get out of the water!'

He could see the Flying Leviathan charging at him with its mouth wide open.

After emerging from the water, Tian Yang reached for his spatial ring, only to realize at that moment that it had disappeared from his finger.

'Did I drop it?!'

Forced to use his own spiritual energy to recover from his injuries, Tian Yang stopped attacking and consumed half of his remaining spiritual energy to recover just enough to make the pain endurable.

"Die already, you damn fish!" Tian Yang roared as he relentlessly swung his sword at the Flying Leviathan like a madman despite the agonizing pain in his body with each swing.

After another hour of struggle, the Flying Leviathan finally closed its eyes and fell from the sky.

'Fuck… I feel like dying as well…'

Just as he was on the verge of losing consciousness, Tian Yang suddenly felt a burst of energy flow into his body, causing his cultivation to immediately breakthrough to the sixth level Spirit Lord.

'What an amazing feeling…'

Tian Yang thought to himself as he opened his eyes.

'Huh? I am back at the altar?'

When he opened his eyes, he could see the stone altar in front of him, as well as the other cultivators.

<You have cleared the trial>

A familiar voice resounded in his head, and an object materialized out of thin air and landed on his lap the following moment.

'T-This is—!'

He couldn't believe what was sitting on his lap.

'Golden Ginseng Roots! I have only read about these in scrolls!'

The Golden Ginseng Roots could not only cleanse his body of impurities, it also contained a large amount of spiritual energy.

He looked around to see if anyone saw the treasure. Seeing that everyone had their eyes closed, seemingly in their own trial, Tian Yang immediately tossed the Golden Ginseng Roots into his mouth and began chewing.

Every time he chewed on the roots, an outburst of rich spiritual energy would surge from the medicine. Moreover, it cleansed a large amount of impurities from his body.

After consuming the treasure, Tian Yang closed his eyes and began cultivating.

His cultivation that had just reached the sixth level Spirit Lord began to soar again, quickly approaching the seventh level, then the eight level, only stopping once he was on the verge of entering the ninth level.

Tian Yang opened his eyes with a look of disbelief on his face. He's never experienced anything remotely close to what he'd just experienced. None of the treasures he'd purchased or found before could compare to the Golden Ginseng Roots.

'Han Zexian's Tomb… What an amazing place! I definitely won't leave until I reach peak Spirit King!'

He turned to look at Kulas, who was sitting beside him.

'Now that I think about it, how long did it take me to finish the trial?' he wondered.

Suddenly, someone nearby collapsed on the ground with blood flowing from his eyes and nose.

'What the hell just happened?'

Startled, Tian Yang stared at the person who'd just collapsed.

'I don't sense any heartbeat! He's dead!'

Then, the corpse began disintegrating, quickly disappearing into thin air.

'What the…? Where did the corpse go…?' Tian Yang was left speechless by what he'd just witnessed.
