The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1130 New Developments

The profound ships that were attacking Ji Yuan and the other cultivators were now shifting toward the smaller flotilla that were attacking them.

Ji Yuan knows that the profound cannons that were onboard the profound ships were now shifting toward the new threat and won't be aiming at him anymore. 

He was quite anxious for the smaller flotilla that had appeared as the sheer size of the floating citadel of the Evil Cultivation Palace made it quite impossible to take it down anytime soon. In fact, he could see that the profound cannons of the attacking flotilla were all halted by an invisible barrier that protected the Evil Cultivation Palace. 

The attacking flotilla did have some success though in bringing down several of the profound ships from the Evil Cultivation Palace since they were unable to retaliate in time. 

Ji Yuan immediately roared aloud as the ground around him exploded as he unleashed his full profound strength, displaying his ultra sword spirit and sword aura.

At the same time, he had replaced his divine sword with Little Yui as well, brandishing his true divinity black sword. 

This startled Ling Feiyue as she gasped, "When did you have a true divinity sword as well?"

Ji Yuan grinned, "Hahaha… surprise?"

Ling Feiyue frowned, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Ji Yuan frowned, "Because if I tell you earlier, you won't believe me."

"Rubbish!" Ling Feiyue giggled, "I always believe you."

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Like real.

He solemnly said to Ling Feiyue, "Feiyue, move away from me. This is going to be dangerous for you…"

The reason why he had said so, was because he was going to use his Life and Death Sword Domain and therefore there would be a dangerous vacuum around him that would suck the life force energies of everything around him. 

The ground that was surrounding Ji Yuan was also shaking nonstop as Ji Yuan focused all his sword intentions to bring out the Dividing One Sword. 

He actually did not want to use this sword art first but he was quite worried for his maidens that were onboard the attacking flotilla; they would all be facing possible annihilation once all the profound ships of the Evil Cultivation Palace had positioned their profound cannons against them.

Or rather, it was his Life and Death Sword Domain that was becoming his most precious sword domain; it could empower any of his sword domains or sword arts but he could only do it once without risk and moreover, the profound effect was even greater than when he was risking his life force energies to execute his profound arts. 

Ji Yuan shouted aloud the profound concepts of the Divine One Sword, "One Sword of the Great Void that divides the Heavens and the Earth; the Dividing Sword of the Great Void. The Divine One Sword that destroys all cultivation concepts, returning everything to the Great Void!"

When Ji Yuan used this powerful sword art, the heavens began to turn dark immediately as a long beam of black light danced from Ji Yuan and toward the Evil Cultivation Palace. 

Dozens of profound ships were caught in the path of this black light and were annihilated. 

And even the profound barrier that protected the Evil Cultivation Palace were temporary ripped in that section where Ji Yuan had just arrived as his Dividing One Sword destroyed the concepts of the profound barrier that was being generated by the immortal array of the Evil Cultivation Palace.

This black light was so powerful that it rocked the entire Evil Cultivation Palace and even ripped parts of the walls of the citadel.

However, it was still not enough as the entire Evil Cultivation Palace was made up of a rare metal called Halo and when combined with the stone celestiums, it would withstand plenty of profound energies and shockwaves. It was especially so given the massive size of the floating citadel of the Evil Cultivation Palace. 

However, this was enough as Ji Yuan's profound attack had actually left a broken hole in the concepts and laws of the profound array that protected the Evil Cultivation Palace; this broken hole would in time provide Ji Yuan a mean of entering the Evil Cultivation Palace in the future.

Ji Yuan was left quite breathless as he had used almost all his profound strength for this profound attack. 

However this loss of profound strength was only temporary as his inner spiritual sea was brimming with spiritual energies. 

Even though his Life and Death Domain had protected him from using his life force energies but he had consumed plenty of his sword intentions and were extremely tired. 

For the others, including immortal cultivators, they would be mentally exhausted but not Ji Yuan; it was because Ji Yuan had always practiced the mind cultivation and his fighting spirit was absolute. This was especially so after he has reached the peak of his Divine Heart Recite. 

Ji Yuan turned to Ling Feiyue to say breathlessly, "Feiyue and the others, you can enter my skull ring to take refuge…"

All of a sudden, he saw that there was only Ling Feiyue that had remained. 

Ling Feiyue was still astonished by the profound power of his sword art as she was still staring at the damage that Ji Yuan had done.

But when Ji Yuan had called out to her, she quickly turned to smile at him. "The others have decided to run for the desolate mists below the mountains first. This is the original plan that we have."

Ji Yuan sarcastically said, "Well, it made sense that it is safer below the desolate mists than with me. If I am killed then all of you will be captured as well…"

"Ji Yuan!"

"Ji Yuan! Ji Yuan!"

All of a sudden, he was interrupted by several shouts and he was pleasantly surprised to see that it was Little Princess, Shui Xisi and the Lovely Empress that had found him.

They were nearby when they had seen a powerful black light so they quickly come over to investigate even though it may not be safe. 

But any enemies of the Evil Cultivation Palace is an ally, right? 

As soon as Shui Xisi was near him, she flew to him and she was weeping aloud in his embrace. "Ji Yuan… my sister is dead…"

Ji Yuan sighed woefully as he held onto Shui Xisi tightly, "I know…"

Above Ji Yuan, in the Evil Cultivation Palace.

The Evil Cultivation God was startled when a powerful black beam of light, more powerful than the profound cannons of any profound ships had suddenly rocked the profound defenses of the Evil Cultivation God.

Number 2 Murong Yue hissed, "What is… that? It is the… Death God Mingwang?"

The Goddess Alyssa had just finished extending her divine sense and said quietly, "I've just checked. I've also recognized this profound animus. It comes from that Sword Saint Ji Yuan."

The Goddess Alyssa had actually fought with Ji Yuan in the past and hence, she had recognized his profound signature.

The Evil Cultivation God looked extremely displeased, "Did this Sword Saint Ji Yuan just unleashed a 9th realm profound art?"

Number 2 Murong Yue laughed coldly, "Indeed. Not only that… he also… have a true divinity sword. I want his divine sword… then I am more confident of killing… Number 1 and the Death God Mingwang."

The Evil Cultivation God could tell what was on Number 2 Murong Yue's mind so he said coldly, "Your duty is to stay with the Evil Cultivation Palace and to wait for the Death God Mingwang and Number 1…"

But Number 2 had already departed.

The Evil Cultivation God: …

The Goddess Alyssa smiled wryly, "Perhaps, it isn't a bad thing to end this new threat first. After all, a true divinity sword is a potent weapon and we can't allow it to be in our enemies' hands."

Then she smiled beautifully, "What is there for you to worry about? Number 2 is absolutely loyal to you due to the blood oath that is made between the two of you. Perhaps, with Number 2 in the battlefield below, we have a greater chance of luring the Death God Mingwang and Number 1 into the Evil Cultivation Palace. Aren't we afraid that they wouldn't come?" 

The Evil Cultivation God frowned but slowly nodded, "I don't like too many new factors."

The Goddess Alyssa asked him, "You seem a little troubled? Is it because of the new enemy fleet that has suddenly appeared?" 

The Evil Cultivation God frowned coldly, "I am just afraid that the Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue did not dare to come instead. I am just wondering why Number 1 isn't making a move yet? By right, given her impulsive nature, she would have stormed my Evil Cultivation Palace by now. And also, the Death God Mingwang is completely silence. I am expecting the Death God Mingwang to give me his congratulations over the death of the Great Demon God…"

Then he hesitated to say, "Most importantly, why haven't I heard anything from Yin Wei yet?"
