Against The Heavens 12 Titanic Figure.

After making sure that he would be sitting steadily, even if he were to fall asleep, he closed his eyes and calmed his breathing, slowly absorbing the surrounding Qi. Before he ventured towards where he had seen that soaring figure, he first wanted to make sure that he was in peak condition.

He sat hidden inside that tree for two days, constantly adjusting his condition. When he got hungry, he would eat some of the dried meat he had brought. When he got thirsty, he would drink a little bit of the lake water that he had prepared.

Some Demonic beasts would occasionally wander beneath the tree he was sitting in, or climb in some of the surrounding trees. But thanks to the Demon Concealing Vine and staying perfectly still, none of them managed to discover him.

After two days, his body was in peak condition. The crack in his dantian had grown slightly and stabilized, pushing him slightly closer to opening it. The wound on his head had completely closed, resulting in three long scars going from his forehead, over his right eye, and down to his cheek, giving him a ferocious look.

After making sure that he was in peak condition, Li Yang undressed. He took off his robes, leaving him in his underwear. After taking off his clothing, he threw it over to a tree that was not too far away from him. His clothing was covered in dried blood, so if he kept on wearing it, there was a chance that the smell of blood would attract Demonic beasts.

After throwing away his clothing, Li Yang swiftly made his way down the tree. After reaching the ground, he turned towards the opposite direction of the Demon Plains, heading towards the same direction as that soaring figure.

He didn't know what that soaring figure was, but he could feel that his body craved for it. He had seen it twice, and both times he had been the only person who had seen it. Coupled with the feeling it gave him, he knew that he had to find that soaring figure.

Li Yang did not go far away from the Demon Plains, instead choosing to carefully move around inside the forest, climbing up some trees and hiding whenever he felt uneasy. He continued doing this for an entire day until he was lucky enough to spot a normal wolf that was the right size.

He even managed to savagely beat the Vine Wolf, so a normal wolf posed absolutely no threat. He quickly killed the wolf, breaking its neck after a short battle. After killing the wolf in a bloodless way, he grabbed onto its legs and moved away from the Demon Plains, for good this time.

He continued dragging the body of the wolf until he managed to reach the lake where they had rested at earlier, the lake with the Reed Vine. Because he had been dragging the body of the wolf, it had taken him an extra day to reach the lake, resulting in it almost being evening when he arrived.

After reaching the lake, he pulled out a small knife and moved towards the wolf. He started by disemboweling it and removing it's organs, storing them away at the side. He then skinned the wolf, putting the intact skin to his side. After the wolf was skinned, he sliced off a few chunks of meat that he would keep for himself.

He took the remainder of the carca.s.s, along with the organs that he had removed earlier, and threw them into the lake, at the place where the Vine Reed was. As the body of the wolf hit the water, reeds quickly shot out and started coiling around it, dragging it into the depths.

While the Reed Vine was busy eating the wolf carca.s.s, Li Yang quickly moved towards the lake, choosing a spot that was a good distance away from the Reed Vine. He quickly filled up his water-skins, making sure that he had plenty of water.

After that, he cleaned the wolf skin as well as his own body, removing all traces of blood from both. After making sure that both he and the wolf skin were clean, he retreated away from the lake.

He entered the forest once more, picking up several branches that he could use to make up a campfire. After making sure that he had enough wood, he made a small campfire and started roasting the wolf meat. While the wolf meat roasted, he placed the skin of the wolf next to the fire, allowing it to dry.

When the meat was finished roasting and the skin was completely dry, the sun had already started rising. Li Yang waited for the meat to slightly cool before he cut off a few pieces and ate them. The meat was chewy and tasteless, but it was food. He wanted to eat more, but he knew that he had to ration it, as he did not know when he would be able to hunt another animal.

He put out the campfire and donned the wolf skin, wearing it almost like a robe. This was another one of the reasons he had stalked the area around the Demon Plains for an animal, food, and clothing.

He donned the wolf skin robe and was just about to set out when he suddenly felt a dreadful pressure cover his body. The area around him was quickly shrouded in darkness. He hurriedly raised his head, only to see a t.i.tanic figure fly over him.

Its leathery wings seemed to cover the entire sky blotting out all light. Just it flying over him left Li Yang with the feeling that he was going to be crushed. He could not even imagine how terrifying it must be to stand in front of it.

Li Yang's expression turned slightly grim when he saw that the t.i.tanic figure flew in the same direction that he was heading, towards that soaring figure he had seen earlier. Despite its ma.s.sive frame, the flying figure vanished from sight just as quickly as it arrived, vanishing into the horizon.

After the t.i.tanic figure vanished and the pressure covering him vanished, Li Yang stood there in silence for a short while. He refused to believe that the t.i.tanic figure traveled in the same direction as the soaring figure because of a coincidence.

"Forget it, let's just consider it my bad luck."

After spending some time thinking in silence, Li Yang shook his head and started moving, heading in the same direction as the t.i.tanic figure. He could not just ignore the feeling that the soaring figure had given him, he had to go and see what that soaring figure was. If anything happened to him, he could only blame his bad luck.
