The Romantic Cultivator

12 hours later after Shui Xisi, Yun Chi and Xu Yifei had set off from the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect. 

The Great Desolate Divine Palace.

Ji Yuan was shouting to the Great Demon God, "Since I am here now, why don't you be a good host and come to fight me alone?"

The Great Demon God laughed coldly, "No hurry. Why don't you break my first round of defense first?"

Then he added coldly, "Sword Saint Ji Yuan, you have used that powerful sword art of yours 5 times in total now. I am astonished that you can use the same powerful sword art so many times but I am afraid that you have to pay the same equivalent price with your life force. You should be at your breaking point now."

Ji Yuan responded with equal coldness, "That sword art is my Dividing One Sword. So you are betting that I can't use the same sword art again, am I right? Why don't you try me?"

This was a bluff of course as Ji Yuan was drained physically and mentally by the use of his Dividing One Sword and even his fingers were trembling. 

But he had forced himself to continue as he was also trying to suppress the anger in his heart.

How dare the Great Demon God killed his Jiajia! 

How dare the Great Demon God violated his maiden Ding Xiaoxiao!

It was this internal rage that had focused his sword intentions together, refusing to it dissipate away. 

It isn't as easy as it sounded as sword intentions are needed to form the sword domain and able to use it means the successful formation of the sword domain.

But Ji Yuan had gathered back his sword intentions back by his forceful mind and it was twice as exhausting. 

Luckily for him, his Dividing One Sword could be used multiple times and the burden of the sword intentions were shared between him and Little Yui.

However, he is still unable to use his other sword domains more than once except for his Flying Swords Domain which cost only a fraction of his sword intentions. Although in theory, this sword domain doesn't have a limit but it still has to depend on how mentally exhausted Ji Yuan is. 

Likewise, even if a cultivator has 5 sword domains, he would still be hard pressed to use all 5 sword domains as the more powerful a sword domain is, the more mentally exhausted the cultivator would be. 

But of course, this may not apply to Ji Yuan as he had gained all his sword domains with a single sword intention and even his new sword domain is just an improvement of his existing sword domains.

Also, Ji Yuan has a formidable mental ability and he also has a huge tolerant toward physical afflictions.

Ji Yuan was now walking unhurriedly toward the main gate of the Great Desolate Divine Palace when a thousand cultivators had suddenly flashed in front of him from various parts of the palaces of the Great Desolate Divine Palace.

All of them were golden celestials and they were here to stop him!

Also with them were a hundred 6th to 7th rank profound beasts as well! 

Ji Yuan did not see Number 1 or the other lesser Numbers so he presumed that these cultivators were merely waste fodders that were sent to weaken his profound strength.

If he was still a seventh realm cultivator then these 1000 cultivators were more than enough to handle him. 

But he was a 9th realm cultivator now and was in a weaken state so these 1000 golden celestials were enough to handle him.

Ji Yuan said coldly, to them as they approached him from all sides, "I don't want to kill my fellow celestial cultivator unless it is absolutely necessary. My battle is with the Great Demon God. If you don't want to die then step aside and don't block me!" 

He shook his head slightly at the fates of these lackeys of the Great Demon God.

Yun Chi had told him that once the Great Demon God had seized the Celestial Realm, he would then be able to open a gateway to the other desolate worlds. In short, the Great Demon God has intended to replace the celestial cultivators with his own desolate demonic cultivators. 

There was a golden and white array that was spinning all around the vicinity now.

Ji Yuan frowned, "This is a profound array?"

The Great Demon God laughed coldly, "Indeed. This is my Desolate Killing Array. While in this profound array, the profound defense of my cultivators will be enhanced and they will be able to share with their profound aura with one another. This applies to their profound attack as well. Sword Saint Ji Yuan, I'd like to see how you are able to get out of my Desolate Killing Array alive."

Ji Yuan was smiling bitterly; he had suddenly remembered from Yun Chi that the Great Demon God was also very good in using profound arrays. The many profound arrays in Bliss City that was inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth were also created by the Great Demon God. But he had never thought that he would be struck inside a killing array and had more than a thousand cultivators going after his life.

Hundreds of cultivators were now charging toward him and they were all shouting, "He is the Sword Saint Ji Yuan. Get him!"

Ji Yuan shouted back as he displayed his sword aura and his ultra sword spirit, "I am a 9th realm cultivator. Do you think that you can stop me? Get lost if you don't want to die!"

Barely had Ji Yuan shouted his threats, he could see hundreds of colorful profound arts that were flying toward him to bombard him. 

JI Yuan was startled as he raised his sword over him, "What the heck?! They are serious…"

Almost immediately he was rained by profound arts from all directions that landed on him. 

Although all these ranged attacks were formidable, they were still not enough to weaken his profound aura. 

Just as Ji Yian was about to return a profound attack or two back at his attackers, he was startled to see a large profound seal that was the size of small hit landing on top of him, attempting to crash him.

He was startled as there was actually a formidable 7th realm cultivator that was capable of using such a formidable profound art. 

Indeed, it was the deed of a man with a long beard and he was a 7th realm cultivator that was controlling this profound seal. 

Immediately he could feel a huge monument of pressure that was landing upon him and he was now shouldering the immerse pressure of this giant profound seal with his sword.

The man with the long beard was actually Great Saint Jin Cuishan and he was a patriarch elder of the Mystic Profound Pavilion, 1 of the 7 major orthodox celestial clans of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.

And he had turned traitor and joined the Great Demon God.

As a matter of fact, almost the entire Mystic Profound Pavilion had joined with the Evil Cultivation Palace. 

He had set a good example for the cultivators of the Mystic Profound Pavilion to follow. 

The Evil Cultivation Palace had promised him a successful ascension should he join them. 

The Mystic Profound Pavilion was also the cultivation sect that Jin Yilong and Jin Yuyun were from. 

Great Saint Jin Cuishan was shouting to the rest of the cultivators, "What are you all waiting for? Kill this Sword Saint Ji Yuan and bring glory to our Great Demon God! Do you know how difficult this profound seal summon is? No matter how strong this Sword Saint Ji Yuan is, he is still a sword cultivator and he is incapable of stronger profound might to shake off my profound seal. This is your best opportunity to kill him!"

Immediately all the cultivators that were capable of making range profound attacks doubled their efforts to deliver their profound arts against Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was forced to lift his sword and hand against the monument weight of this profound great seal and he was forced to bend his knees against it. At the same time, powerful profound arts were exploding on him, attempting to snuff out his sword aura and to kill him!
