Chapter 1354 Colossal

1354 Colossal

After spending nearly an entire day recovering around 90 percent of his cultivation, Tian Yang stopped his cultivation and began the search for Huang Xiao Li"s parents.

"Where should we start looking?" Huang Xiao Li as they navigated through the vast and empty wilderness.

"I know you"re in a hurry, but we won"t find them by wandering aimlessly. Let"s try to find a nearby city and prepare ourselves first," he said.

"Okay…"

"How much do you know about the Desolate Continent?" Tian Yang suddenly asked.

"Not much, honestly. I know that this place is a treasure trove with many rare medicines and powerful treasures. There are also formidable magical beasts that roam this land."

Tian Yang then said, "There are countless mysteries as well as opportunities hidden throughout this land. However, the Desolate Continent is also a lawless land that has only just begun to develop, so there are only five cities available."

"We have the Southern Stronghold, which is also used as a marketplace. The Northern Stronghold, the Western Stronghold, and lastly, the Central Stronghold, which is also the largest city."

"You did your research, huh?" Huang Xiao Li seemed impressed by his knowledge.

"Who would be stupid enough to visit a foreign land without any prior knowledge?" Tian Yang raised his eyebrows, his gaze directed at her.

"I-I"m sorry…" Huang Xiao Li lowered her head and subconsciously apologized after seeing his gaze, her face flushed with redness.

"I"m not calling you stupid, but you should be more diligent," Tian Yang sighed.

"I understand…" she nodded.

"Anyways, the Desolate Continent is also separated into five levels of difficulties. Starting from the weakest, we have the Southern Stronghold, the Western Stronghold, the Northern Stronghold, the Eastern Stronghold, and the Central Stronghold."

He continued, "The magical beasts around the Southern Stronghold are the weakest, being between the level of a Spirit Lord to a Spirit King."

"At the Western Stronghold, they become increasingly dangerous, being between Spirit Emperor and Spirit Sovereign."

"The Northern Stronghold isn"t much different from the Western Stronghold except that magical beasts at the level of Spirit Sovereigns will appear more often than Spirit Emperors."

"The magical beasts that appear within the Eastern Stronghold won"t be past Divine Warrior."

"As for the Central Stronghold, magical beasts between the level of Spirit Lord and Divine Grandmaster could appear."

"That"s quite the range…" Huang Xiao Li muttered.

"Even if you don"t remember this information, there is one thing you must remember. In the Desolate Continent, there roams an ent.i.ty that even Divine Kings don"t dare to offend. In terms of strength, it might even be on par with that giant sea demon we encountered."

Huang Xiao Li swallowed nervously as she asked, "What is this monster?"

"The people here call it "Colossal" because of its towering figure that topples even mountains— just like that sea demon. The only difference is its figure which resembles a human"s figure. You"ll know its ident.i.ty right away when you see it."

Huang Xiao Li suddenly stopped walking, her eyes wide open as she gazed towards the sky.

"S-Something like that?" she pointed behind him while trembling.

Tian Yang turned around, and sure enough, there was a ma.s.sive human-like figure casually moving near the horizon.

This ent.i.ty had a pitch-black body that looked like it had emerged from the shadow, with two round, red eyes. It had two arms and two legs, just like a human. The only human feature it was missing was a mouth.

However, the most interesting feature of this ent.i.ty was its lack of presence. Despite its ma.s.sive and terrifying appearance, the Colossal did not have the slightest presence, almost as if it didn"t truly exist, or they were looking at it from another dimension where its presence could not reach.

"Even though I am staring right at it, my mind tells me that it doesn"t exist—that I am merely hallucinating..." Tian Yang muttered in a dazed voice.

Unlike Huang Xiao Li, whose eyes were filled with fear, his were filled with awe and curiosity.

Suddenly, almost as though the Colossal detected their gaze, it stopped moving and turned to look in their direction.

"Hiiii!"

Huang Xiao Li immediately fell on her b.u.t.tocks, as the Colossal"s gaze was simply too terrifying for her.

Tian Yang didn"t even flinch, even staring directly into its eyes.

It felt as if the entire world had fallen silent at this moment— that only he and the Colossal existed.

Eventually, the Colossal returned to facing the front and continued walking, acting as though nothing happened.

"Are you okay?" Tian Yang looked at Huang Xiao Li, who was still frozen on the floor with her eyes soaked in tears.

Tian Yang chuckled and offered his hand to help her up.

However, Huang Xiao Li refused to move.

"What"s wrong? The Colossal is long gone, and it isn"t known for being aggressive, so it won"t attack us unless we offend it first," he explained to her.

Huang Xiao Li muttered after a moment of silence, "I… I accidentally wet myself…"

"Huh?" Tian Yang immediately wore a dumbfounded look on his face.

One of the most humiliating ordeals for a cultivator is the loss of control over their own body, particularly in the more sensitive areas, such as wetting or s.h.i.+tting themselves.

Even when facing the ma.s.sive sea demon, Huang Xiao Li managed to control her bladder, yet the Colossal proved to be too much for her to handle.

Unsure of how to respond to such a specific situation, Tian Yang subconsciously uttered, "How can I help?"

"Do you have extra clothes for me to borrow…?" she asked, her face flushed in redness.

"I have a few pairs of my disciple uniform, but they might be a little loose on you," he said.

"It"s better than walking around in my current state!" she exclaimed.

Tian Yang quickly retrieved a pair of his uniform and handed it to her.

"I"ll go over there, where I can"t see you…" Tian Yang pointed to the trees not far away.
