The Romantic Cultivator

Xiang Li was suddenly on her knees in Ji Yuan's inner spiritual sea as she prayed, "If I am the Goddess Tear then I am willing to sacrifice myself to grant my Big Brother a victory over the Great Demon God. Right now, my Big Brother lacks the profound strength to use his Dividing One Sword one more time. Let me become my Big Brother's final sword against the Great Demon God."

At this moment, Ji Yuan was in an intense battle against the Great Demon God and hence he was not aware of what Xiang Li was doing.

Xiang Li could see that the slumbering bodies of Aura and Anyang floating on the golden inner spirit sea of Ji Yuan and she was sighing woefully, "I am the most useless here and can't contribute to Big Brother's battle. Let me sacrifice myself then for my Big Brother so that I can be useful for once in his heart…"

As she said that, she was startled to see that a golden face with a veil had been formed from the almost depleted golden inner spirit sea that was below her. 

"Dream Mist? Why are you here?

Xiang Li had recognized the shape of this likeness and the characteristic of this veil.

The golden face said gently to her, "Xiang Li, we have met again. I am not Dream Mist. Dream Mist is but my avatar. I am the Great Beyond Goddess."

Xiang Li was startled, "You are the Great Beyond Goddess?"

The golden face slightly nodded, "That's right. I am the Great Beyond Goddess. By right, you are not supposed to see or hear me. But it seems that you have broken free of my restrictive shackle that is on you and you are now a separated entity that also has some of my profound powers." 

Xiang Li said woefully, "I just want to help my Big Brother. Can you help me?"

The Great Beyond Goddess sighed softly, "I can sense that you are going to sacrifice your life for Ji Yuan… your Big Brother and that is why you are able to see me now. But you ought to wait for a little longer and you should not give up your life in vain. Or your Big Brother will be very sad and he will blame himself." 

Xiang Li asked curiously, "I ought to have waited a little longer? But why? Big Brother don't have any sword intentions or much profound strength anymore and he is burning his life force as profound energies now."

The Great Beyond Goddess said, "Your Big Brother is the True Devil God's reincarnation. This amount of life force won't end his life so easily. In fact, his life force may be his greatest strength because he is the True Devil God and also, he has a strong willpower to live." 

Xiang Li pondered for a while, "Alright. I wait a little longer then."

Yun Chi, Shui Xisi and Xu Yifei were all gasping with shock as the Great Demon God displayed his Infinity Malevolent Spears at a terrifying speed against Ji Yuan.

Although Yun Chi had wanted to step forward to help Ji Yuan but Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao had turned to say to Yun Chi and the other two maidens, "This is their battle. Don't force my hands to fight you because in the end, you still won't be able to save Ji Yuan."

Then she displayed a secret divine whisper into Yun Chi's ears, "I know that you are the Death God Mingwang. In normal circumstances, I won't be able to stop you but not only are you in a weaken state but I am also much stronger when I was in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth…"

She was naturally stronger after she had realized her new sword domain when she was with Ji Yuan inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

Ding Xiaoxiao continued to divine whisper to Yun Chi, "Have you so little faith in Ji Yuan? Look at his eyes. He isn't giving up his fight yet. Why don't you wait and see? He is stronger than you think he is."

She had seen these intense eyes from Ji Yuan when she was fighting with Ji Yuan. At that time, she had thought that Ji Yuan was just a fool to fight her. 

Yun Chi displayed a small frown but she stopped in her tracks and there was a perplexing look that was on her: Is this Ding Xiaoxiao helping the Great Demon God or Ji Yuan? Or is it because this is a honor duel between the Great Demon God and Ji Yuan? 

The reason why she was greatly perplexed was that earlier she had aided them in open defiant against the Great Demon God and now she was aiding the Great Demon God by preventing her from acting. 

Yun Chi quickly put her hand on Shui Xisi's shoulder, "Don't be rush. You aren't Number 1's match and you will only get yourself killed if you join in the battle."

Shui Xisi was furious and it was true that she would recklessly join in the battle if it was not for Yun Chi's restraining hand on her shoulder that had actually frozen her with her profound strength. 

The dozens of dark spears from the Great Demon God's Infinity Malevolent Spears were speeding toward Ji Yuan but Ji Yuan was now slow too.

He had used his life force energies to reform the shape of his two broken shattered emperor-step divine sword and then he had crossed his two divine swords to unleash his Grand Cross Profound Art, causing a brilliant white profound energies in the likeness of a cross to sweep over the dozens of dark spears.

Instantly, his life force energies had dissipated all the dozens of dark spears and had even swept over the Great Demon God, causing him to cough out golden blood as the brilliant white profound energies exploded over him!

It was so lethal that his left arm of the Great Demon God was completely disintegrated by the life force energies as he used his hands to block the incoming life force energies profound attack before he fell to the ground.

The Great Demon God could not believe that his immortal profound art had lost to Ji Yuan's life force energies profound attack.

Then he tried to pull the black true divinity sword that was struck in his left chest as he said weakly, "If it is not for this damn sword in my body, I would not have weakened to this state and has even lost my left arm."

But no matter how much profound strength he had tried, he just could not pull the black true divinity sword from his chest; it was because Little Yui was using her sentience to resist the profound might of the Great Demon God.

Ji Yuan's arms were both shaking now as he shouted, "Great Demon God. This is the end for you now!"

Once again, he had mustered his life force energies into both of his divine swords as he attempted to channel enough of his life force energies into displaying the Ultrapowerful Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon.

He intended to muster all his remaining profound energies in his inner spiritual sea into this one last profound attack. It was either he died or the Great Demon God would die in this one final move. 

Ji Yuan could not move now as he was only depending on his life force energies to support himself as his wounds were extremely heavy after he was repeating burnt by the Dark Crimson Fire of Destruction that also prevented his injuries from regenerating. 

The Great Demon God was actually quite fearful now; it was because life force energies to his natural nemesis and it was preventing his wounds from regenerating. Moreover, his current state was not any better than Ji Yuan. 

So he shouted panicky to Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao, "Number 1… Ding Xiaoxiao! Help me to kill all of them here! This is my third command to you! Quick!"

At this moment, Ji Yuan had displayed the profound energies of his Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon in each of his hands. As he swung his divine two swords together, he had formed the Ultrapowerful Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon as a powerful brilliant white light in the shape of a gigantic serpent exploded from Ji Yuan's divine swords toward the Great Demon God!

Ji Yuan shouted, "Die, Great Demon God!!!" 

All of a sudden, Ding Xiaoxiao had displayed her true divinity sword the Divine Palatine as well as her Sword Dao of the Universe Border as a black halo surrounded as she used her sword energies to completely dissipated Ji Yuan's Ultrapowerful Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon as she flashed to intercept it.

This stunned Ji Yuan who was now spent of everything.

And this included Yun Chi, Shui Xisi and Xu Yifei.

Yun Chi was furious because she had just been tricked by this Ding Xiaoxiao not to intervene in the battle. Instead, this Ding Xiaoxiao had intervened in the battle. 

She had almost unsheathed her emperor-step divine sword in her furious rage to assume her identity as the Death God Mingwang.

The hundreds of cultivators that were watching from far behind looked relieved that their Great Demon God was now safe and that Number 1 had now intervened. 

Some were even cheering loudly for the upcoming victory of the Great Demon God.

The Great Demon God shouted angrily, "Number 1. What are you waiting for? Kill all of them for me! Show them the price of offending a true god of the Immortal Desolate Realm!"

Ding Xiaoxiao turned to the Great Demon God to say coolly, "I am afraid that I can't. This is against my honor to do so."

The Great Demon God said furiously, "What do you mean by that this is against your honor to do so? Have you forgotten you have to do 3 things for me?"

Ding Xiaoxiao said, "I remembered. And I also remembered that these 3 things cannot be against my honor. This Ji Yuan that you are trying to kill…"

Then she looked a little flustered before she continued softly, "This Ji Yuan is my lord and I am his maiden. Therefore, I can't kill my lord. This is against my honor."

When she had said this, not only was the Great Demon God stunned but all the cultivators including Yun Chi, Shui Xisi and Xu Yifei were also stunned by her revelations. 

"He is your lord?! When?!" The Great Demon God was stunned.

Ji Yuan was also stunned because he had thought that Ding Xiaoxiao had completely forgotten about him and she had even intercepted his profound attack.

Yun Chi stared with shock at Ji Yuan and Ding Xiaoxiao; it was because she had mocked Ji Yuan when he had told her that Ding Xiaoxiao was his maiden and she had laughed that Ji Yuan was only daydreaming about it. 

Ding Xiaoxiao continued to say to the Great Demon God, "However, my debt to you has already been repaid. It is because I have just saved your life. This is what I have owed to you."
