Flying to the Planet's Outer Orbit

The Giant Moth's main body was naturally incomparable to Kangqiao in terms of size.

If Kangqiao's standing height of about 800 meters were converted into body length, then the Giant Moth's main body length would be roughly 350 meters.

To put it bluntly, the Giant Moth's main body was about the size of a small backpack on a human's back.

It hung behind Kangqiao, not large, but not something to be casually ignored either.

Moreover, its two pairs of spread wings were already close to six hundred meters, exceptionally wide and flexible.

If the grayish, slightly translucent wings wrapped forward, they could absolutely envelop Kangqiao's entire upper body.

When the Giant Moth flapped its spread wings, at that moment, tornadoes continuously swept out from both sides of its wings.

The tornadoes stretched far away toward the sea level beyond the island, one after another churning the entire ocean surface into surging waves once more.

Kangqiao was too heavy!

The Giant Moth exerted almost all the strength it could muster, naturally also pushing its wind-related abilities to the extreme.

Then, under the watch of the other Three Beasts, the Giant Moth finally lifted Kangqiao off the ground.

At the same time, Kangqiao could feel the powerful airflow from the Giant Moth's wings, which hooked the wind element below his abdomen to raise him up.

That airflow was like a whirlwind, and Kangqiao miraculously stood steadily atop this whirlwind.

The Giant Moth's two pairs of broad wings flapped faster and faster, until suddenly, under Kangqiao's astonished gaze, the Giant Moth shot into the sky with him like a grenade.

The explosive blast of air even caused the watching Three Beasts to stagger.

But what Kangqiao didn't know was that the Giant Moth was suffering in silence!

Kangqiao was far heavier than the Giant Moth had imagined.

It had now mobilized its elemental energy to the limit, and this consumption was both immense and rapid.

However, to avoid losing face as a Giant Beast, the Giant Moth went all out.

Ignoring the energy draining from its body like a flood bursting a dam, it stubbornly carried Kangqiao charging into the high sky.

Of course, the Giant Moth wasn't brainless, just thinking of going up and then falling down.

Because, at high altitudes, the wind element was most abundant.

So, as long as it reached a certain height in the atmosphere, the Giant Moth could connect with the high-altitude winds, gather them all, replenish its internal wind element, and fly freely.

'It's a transcendent Giant Beast; no one thinks it relies solely on flapping its wings to fly, right?'

The most troublesome part of carrying Kangqiao was the initial lift-off, which consumed an unexpectedly massive amount of energy.

The Giant Moth remained silent, showing no sign of strain, until it entered the high-altitude domain of wind, where it secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

'At least I didn't lose face as a Giant Beast in front of that lava guy.'

That was roughly the Giant Moth's mindset at this moment.

From the ground to the sky, who knows how many meters high, the entire process took less than two minutes.

That shows how fast the Giant Moth flew.

And now, looking down from the high altitude, Kangqiao found it thrilling.

All around him was howling wind, the feeling of being blown quite pleasant, aside from the noise being a bit loud.

Hovering in midair with just his body? In reality, few people could experience this pleasure firsthand.

It was a thrill that flying in a plane couldn't match, only perhaps felt by paragliders and skydivers!

Feeling the wind around him and the rush of excitement, Kangqiao steadied his mind and looked down at the sea.

He saw the island where the Three Beasts were, and even the entire sea area around them.

At this height, the island with the Three Beasts had almost become a tiny black dot, but with Kangqiao's transcendent vision, by adjusting his eyes' 'focus,' he could clearly see the Three Beasts staring blankly up at the sky.

The Three Beasts might still be waiting to watch Kangqiao fall from the sky in a farce, but unfortunately, that was unlikely.

Kangqiao had no fear of heights; bungee jumping was a favorite activity of his in his past life—would he be scared of this?

Kangqiao had no idea what the Three Beasts below were thinking, nor did he have time to care.

The current height was clearly not enough; what Kangqiao could see from above was just a vast ocean, with many small islands clearly visible within it.

But Kangqiao was definitely not satisfied with this height.

Then, Kangqiao let out a low roar and pointed a finger at the sky even higher.

Hearing the roar, the Giant Moth poked its head out from behind Kangqiao's shoulder and fell silent.

Could it say it hadn't recovered yet?

Fly even higher?

At that point, it would be fine itself, but it was afraid of dropping Kangqiao.

So, the Giant Moth pretended not to understand, and as Kangqiao kept gesturing, it played dumb, randomly flying around within this wind domain.

This frustrated Kangqiao immensely.

Why did you suddenly get so stupid? Can't you see such a simple instruction? I want to go to a higher altitude!

Kangqiao was speechless, but quickly caught on to something.

The Giant Moth definitely hadn't failed to understand—it was clearly hiding something it didn't want him to know.

Was there a threat in outer space? Or did the Giant Moth simply not want to fly higher? Or was it out of strength?

Out of strength? That didn't seem right!

A threat in outer space? Was the Giant Moth afraid of a vacuum environment?

Ridiculous. These transcendent Giant Beasts would be afraid of vacuum radiation? Or an airless environment?

Nonsense.

As for there being something in outer space more terrifying than these transcendent Giant Beasts—Kangqiao didn't buy it.

If there were, wouldn't it have come down? Could the planet's surface still be so calm?

Just as Kangqiao was endlessly guessing at possibilities, he suddenly noticed the Giant Moth finally seemed to get its head straight and once again surged upward into the high sky.

By this point, nearly half an hour had passed since Kangqiao first told the Giant Moth to fly higher.

For a moment, Kangqiao understood.

The Giant Moth had been exhausted from carrying him, especially after the fierce battle with the Giant Octopus.

No wonder. What a mess this was!

If you're out of strength, just say so! Instead, you kept quiet and pretended not to understand my gestures—you're quite the clever one, aren't you!

And now, why did it suddenly have strength again?

Kangqiao wasn't stupid; he could roughly guess that this layer of space with its strong convection currents must be helping the Giant Moth recover faster.

The higher they flew, the colder the air, but at the same time, the pull of gravity gradually increased.

Yet Kangqiao paid no attention, still pointing higher and telling the Giant Moth to fly upward.

The Giant Moth didn't complain and kept obeying.

Throughout the process, the Giant Moth didn't fly fast, but its role as a transcendent Giant Beast played a crucial part at this moment.

Because even though it seemed to fly slowly, it could maintain a steady speed and repel most of the planet's gravitational pull.

Slowly, Kangqiao was finally able to overlook the edge of the continent.

Then, at a certain moment, the immense gravity that had been pulling at both of them suddenly seemed to dissipate.

Yes, at that moment, the Giant Moth brought Kangqiao to the outer space it rarely visited—the planet's outer orbit.

From then on, Kangqiao could look down and see half of the entire planet, while looking up revealed the endless void of space and the distant, blazing white star.
