The Romantic Cultivator

Ji Yuan and the Great Demon God were separated by a mile apart. 

However, to the two of them, a distance of a mile could easily be covered in just a few blinks of an eye.

As for the cultivators that were behind the Great Demon God, they were standing a good 5 mile away.

One could imagine how vast and massive the Great Desolate Divine Palace really was and this was just the middle section of the Great Desolate Divine Palace. 

The Great Demon God said to Ji Yuan, "I'd be generous enough to allow you to make the first move first since you are a cultivation junior."

Ji Yuan was not polite as he immediately flashed to display dozens of sword bursts on the Great Demon God.

As expected, his sword energies were dissipated by the profound aura around the Great Demon God. 

But this was just test as Ji Yuan was encircling the Great Demon God to look for a better opportunity for an attack.

Then all of a sudden, he had raised his immortal scabbard together with his black true divinity sword as he exploded his Grand Cross over the Great Demon God. 

No matter how strong the profound aura of the Great Demon God was, it won't be able to block his direct profound attack.

As Ji Yuan's grand cross exploded over the Great Demon God, he was startled that the Great Demon God had caught his sword with the strong grip of his fingers and the profound energies of his Grand Cross were scattered away from the Great Demon God, leaving several cracks on the ground. 

The Great Demon God immediately swung Ji Yuan aside by throwing him away from him.

"Sword Saint Ji Yuan, is this your most powerful profound attack? It doesn't look powerful to me."

Ji Yuan was stunned; his Grand Cross Profound Art was a miracle profound art and the profound power of his Grand Cross could burn the profound strength of any opponents that dared to block it. But the Great Demon God had actually blocked his Grand Cross with his bare hands and this was too unbelievable to Ji Yuan.

All of a sudden, the Great Demon God was hurling dozens of ball lightning toward Ji Yuan. "Why don't you have a little fun first and take my Myriad Voidfire Lightning?"

The speed of the Great Demon God's ability to muster his profound art was simply too insane as dozens upon dozens of ball lightnings were summoned to be hurl toward Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan began to swing his sword to parry off the ball lightnings and causing them to explode away from him. 

He was not slow either and he was swinging his sword at a rapid rate as the dozens of ball lightnings kept exploding away from him while the Great Demon God kept increasing his speed until it soon become a furious storm of thousands of ball lightnings explosion that shook even the Great Desolate Divine Palace!

The Great Demon God was startled that the profound explosion of his ball lightnings did not affect Ji Yuan. 

Or rather, it did not even have a chance to explode its profound energies on him.

One must know that when his avatar had used the same profound ball lightning on the Saintess Fang Zhenfei, she was also hurt by the exploding ball lightning even though she had parried it with her profound arts and she had to evade instead. However, the Great Demon God's avatar was also able to explode his ball lightning prematurely and the exploding profound shockwaves were also able to hurt her. 

Just how powerful was one ball lightning? 

It was enough to kill or seriously injured a 7th realm great saint! 

That was how powerful one ball lightning was! 

But right now, Ji Yuan was swinging his sword at an insane speed that were hurling all the ball lightning to explode away from him. Because he was so fast, the ball lightnings were not even able to explode at the point of impact but only exploded away from him. 

In just that very split moment of impact, Ji Yuan had already used his sword to parry all the ball lightnings far away from him.

This was not due to sheer luck but Ji Yuan was extremely precise in his swings and accuracy. 

This not only startled the Great Demon God but all the other cultivators as well. And this also included Ding Xiaoxiao who could not believe that Ji Yuan's speed attack would be this fast that he was able to match the Great Demon God speed for speed.

The Great Demon God had even tried to explode his ball lightning on Ji Yuan before it got deflected far away but each time Ji Yuan seemed to be able to sense it and he had jumped out of harm's way. 

Soon, thousands of ball lightnings were hurled at Ji Yuan until the entire vicinity had become a smouldering ruined landscape and yet, the Great Demon God was not able to hit Ji Yuan with his profound ball lightnings. 

 Not even an upper 9th realm immortal cultivator would be able to survive the storm of ball lightning that the Great Demon God was hurling. 

The Great Demon God was suddenly breaking in sweat for the very first time because the effort to nail Ji Yuan had drained him of his profound strength. It was because was not easy to even muster the profound strength of a single 9th realm profound ball lightning in the first place due to his destructive profound energies and moreover, the Great Demon God had mustered thousands of ball lightnings in such a short time.

All of a sudden, the Great Demon God had suddenly realized that he had fallen into the ruse of Ji Yuan as he expended his profound strength; this Ji Yuan was simply not even making an effort for a counter-attack and he was just using minimum profound strength to keep himself alive.

This enraged the Great Demon God as he had suddenly ceased his profound attack, "Sword Saint Ji Yuan, you really got me mad! It seems that I have to get serious with you!"

As the Great Demon God said that, the red sigil that was on his forehead had vanished and a crimson eye could be seen!

The profound aura of the Great Demon God had suddenly increased further in profound might and it startled everyone including Ji Yuan.

And a giant dark spirit animus that was 7 times the size of the Great Demon God was also enveloping around him. 

This giant dark spirit animus immediately brought upon great fear to many of the cultivators and they were forced to knee in front of it and also their profound strength was also being drained by it! 

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao and many of the cultivators were shouting to everyone, "Everyone, move back a further 5 miles away!"

Ji Yuan gasped with shock, "Half-step True Divinity profound aura?! He is releasing all his profound strength now? This is the real power of the half-step True Divinity Great Demon God?" 

As he gasped, he had switched his true divinity sword to his left hand as his right hand was numbed from deflecting the numerous ball lightnings earlier.

Actually Ji Yuan was never a right handed cultivator; his left hand was actually faster than his right hand and also stronger. 

But he had pretended to practice his left hand by accident in front of Fairy Ye Chengxi to mislead her into thinking that he was secretly practicing with his left hand. 

This was supposed to be his hidden trump card. 

However speed attacks were useless against the Great Demon God. 

While the other cultivators had thought that Ji Yuan's right hand was useless now and this would affect his combat ability, this was actually not true. 

 But he had succeeded in misleading even Ding Xiaoxiao and she was looking anxiously at the battle in front of her. 

The Great Demon God said coldly to Ji Yuan, "Don't be misunderstood that I will be returning to the Immortal Desolate Realm after I have released my true profound strength. It is because I have already cultivated back my true profound strength a hundred years ago."

Ji Yuan was startled, "What?!"

But he quickly said, "Even so, someone once told me that if I can force you to use 2/3 of your profound strength, then you would have no other choice but to pack up and leave the Celestial Realm."

The Great Demon God frowned, "I am surprised that you know about this. But don't worry, you will probably die long before that. Because you won't survive." 

And then the Great Demon God had displayed a red sword in his hand and it was an immortal-step divine sword.
