The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1066 JY vs. the Immortal Heavenly Wrath (1)

Just as Xuan Qiaoqiao, Juan Xian'Er and everyone else were all scurrying around, the intensity of the winds had suddenly grown in ferocity and were sweeping even 4th realm cultivators off the grounds!

Even the intensity of the rumbling earthquakes had also grown; the entire mountains were shaking violently and there would be more upheavals if it was not for the profound arrays that were protecting the place.

However, the nearby vicinity of the Nightfall Heights was not so fortunate as entire forests were sunk into the ground and line of cracks began to surface on the ground. Even a small hill had also vanished into the ground just like this!

Juan Xian'Er was right; this Immortal Heavenly Wrath was just too unusual in its ferocity!

Just as everyone was scurrying around, a masked man had suddenly appeared in the heavens above as he flew himself from the ground to confront the gigantic coiling red serpent that had been formed from the dark stormy heavens.

Many of the cultivators below were shouting excitingly;

"He is the Great Patriarch Sword Saint! Don't tell me that he is the one that is going to ascend instead?"

"So, it is not our Cardinal Tribune?"

"I remember that he did say he is going to ascend soon, right?"

"This powerful profound aura… is the 9th realm cultivation?"

"What is the name of the 9th realm cultivation?"

"I've heard that it is called the Minor Great Heavens and the Major Great Heavens…"

"The lower immortal realms are the Minor Heavens, Major Heavens, Lesser Significant Heavens, the Greater Significant Heavens…"

Although Xuan Qiaoqiao had warned her people to hide from this Immortal Heavenly Wrath, there were still more than a thousand cultivators that were below the 7th realm cultivation that were not afraid of death and they wanted to witness this ascension event; they were really unafraid of death and wanted to live through this ascension event to enhance their cultivation knowledge.

Juan Xian'Er shockingly stared at the Cardinal Priestess Xuan Qiaoqiao as she whispered with great disbelief, "He is Ji Yuan?! When did he become a 9th realm cultivator?!"

Even Xuan Qiaoqiao could not believe what she was seeing too and she whispered back, "Maybe he uses a profound treasure to raise his cultivation realm temporary?"

Powerful profound pills do exist that can raise a cultivator's cultivation realm temporary but these powerful profound pills are all called blood profound pills because there is a heavy price to be paid in return. Most would cripple the cultivation or even demand the life of the cultivator afterward.

At this moment, the Cardinal Harpy Li Yifen and Cardinal Confidant Jun Qianfeng had also hastily arrived at the scene.

Everyone was startled to see them as they were uncontactable even by their own palaces in the past 3 days.

Herald Ma Laide smiled politely when he saw them hastily approaching, "Greetings to the two Cardinals. Where have you been?"

This was the question that Millenium Jun Feitian, the Cardinal Herald, the Cardinal Pope, the Cardinal Patriarch, Xuan Qiaoqiao and many others were also curious to ask.

Li Yifen merely smiled, "I was in a hasty cultivation for the past 3 days. I have a sudden inspiration and had to go into cultivation immediately. So I didn't have the time to tell anyone."

"Same here," Jun Qianfeng had also said.

Although this was quite a lame excuse as they had both disappeared at the same time and had also given the same excuse but it was still an acceptable excuse.

Although Xuan Qiaoqiao wanted to say a word of sarcasm to Li Yifen, she resisted the temptation to quarrel with her as she was being distracted by the levitating 'masked man' in the heavens above them.

At this moment, everyone had no mood for other things other than watching the masked man up there as they exercised all their profound might against the powerful winds and violent earthquakes to stand firmly on the ground.

But still Xuan Qiaoqiao could not resist a cold remark, "This 'Great Patriarch Sword Saint' is quite foolish. He should use the ground as his support against the Immortal Heavenly Wrath. He will be in a bad position if he tries to confront the Immortal Heavenly Wrath in the heavens. He will probably be the first to do so and also the first to die in this manner too."

When the others had heard her, most of them could only display a bitter smile; at this moment when they were all rooting for the Great Patriarch Sword Saint to overcome the Immortal Heavenly Wrath, their Cardinal Priestess was actually cursing him.

Actually, Xuan Qiaoqiao was quite anxious for Ji Yuan and the reason why she had said that was because she hopes that he would survive the Immortal Heavenly Wrath by choosing a more favorable ground instead.

This was not lost on Juan Xian'Er who understands her perfectly and she sighed to her, "He doesn't want the Immortal Heavenly Wrath to hurt us, that's why."

When Xuan Qiaoqiao had heard her, she began to sigh heavily…

The masked man was indeed Ji Yuan and he had hastily levitated himself to the heavens to confront the Immortal Heavenly Wrath.

He did not even try to maintain his fa?ade of being the Great Patriarch Sword Saint in front of Jun Qianfeng and Li Yifen as he hastily put on his mask and cloak, telling them. "Let no one knows that it is me…"

Li Yifen and Jun Qianfeng hastily replied to Ji Yuan like they were facing an idol, "We won't tell anyone about this…"

But Ji Yuan appeared not to hear them as he had already sped up to the heavens and their soft voices were drowned by the strong furious winds.

When Ji Yuan was up in the heavens, the gigantic red coiling red serpent that whirled above the dark red heavens had also spurted great gigantic red wings and the intensity of the winds and earthquakes had also increased even more strongly than ever before!

Flashes of red-purplish lightning were also flashing furiously to attack Ji Yuan but he had taken out his two emperor-step divine swords as he withstood hit after hit of the powerful lightning calamity that could pulverize a weaker 7th realm cultivator in an instant.

Ji Yuan was astonished that he was able to withstand the powerful lightning strokes and it was actually much easier than being struck by the 81 purple lightning.

This is the profound strength of the 9th realm cultivation?!

He could not resist thinking how foolish he had been when he had challenged Yun Chi and Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao; they are so much stronger than him and could have taken away his life in an instant.

The gigantic red coiling red serpent roared furiously when it saw that its powerful lightning was insufficient to hurt Ji Yuan who had already been tempered by the 81 purple lightning tribulation.

Also, when Ji Yuan had merged with the Golden Avatar of the True Devil God, he had also absorbed his golden bone marrow.

By absorbing this great beyond divinity golden bone marrow, Ji Yuan's golden body had also seen an increase in profound strength and that was why he could easily fend off the powerful lightning strokes that were being hurled at him.

The gigantic red coiling red serpent opened its mouth and a red ray of destructive profound energies had suddenly exploded from the stormy dark red heavens above.

This red destructive profound energy was easily 10 times more powerful than the Deity Destroying Cannon that was leashed upon Ji Yuan just 3 days ago!

It was a truly 9th realm immortal destroying profound energy!

Ji Yuan raised both his divine swords to defend against this destructive profound energies by displaying everything that he could use; his desolate cherubim, his ultra sword spirit, his sword aura and all his profound strength.

Even calling help from Anyang, Aura and Xiang Li!

He could not resist gasping, "So, this is the real test that I am going to face…"

As he said that, the powerful wave of red destructive profound energies had overwhelmed Ji Yuan and had sent him to crash into the walls of a mountain like a speeding bullet!

And around Ji Yuan, half of the mountains were also blown apart!

The sight of Immortal Heavenly Wrath shocked everyone for they had never seen any profound energies that could blow a mountain apart…

Xuan Qiaoqiao and everyone else were now trembling with cold shiver; if these waves of red destructive profound energies had landed where they were, they would all be dead even if they were half-immortals.

But there was a rumbling from the blackened and destroyed mountain where Ji Yuan had landed and it was Ji Yuan; he was not dead yet but very bloodied.

His sword aura and desolate cherubim spirit animus had been completely dissipated by the Immortal Heavenly Wrath but he had actually survived the cleansing to become a true immortal.

Even his two emperor divine swords were red hot and had cracks all over; his divine swords could no longer be used.

But luckily for Ji Yuan, the gigantic red serpent in the dark stormy heavens appeared to have acknowledge Ji Yuan's strength and did not attack further; he had passed the tribulation to become a true immortal now.

Although this battle was brief and was actually quickly over, the brutality of this heavenly tribulation was not easy to overcome.

Ji Yuan had proved that he could withstand the lighting tribulation and so he had skipped the first part and that was why his immortal ascension had quickly ended.

This time round, the gigantic red serpent had a glow of golden animus and it was going to fuse its golden animus with Ji Yuan with another profound attack as it roared thunderously.

"Wait a minute!"

Ji Yuan had suddenly hovered up to the heavens again with a great shout, "This is not over yet!"

His great shouts startled all the onlookers as it was clear to them that he had overcome the Immortal Heavenly Wrath to become a true immortal?

Ji Yuan was trembling all over his body but he was also calmly saying to the Heavenly Immortal Wrath, "I don't want to be an immortal or to ascend. It is because I have many others that are still waiting for me to return. Also, I have someone that is dear to my heart who is waiting for me to return… therefore you have to fight me again in order to force me to ascend to the heavens!"

When he had said that, he had kept his two emperor swords with shaking fingers into his immortal scabbard and called out, "Little Yui! I need you now!"

A dark sword adorned with golden runes had suddenly manifested in front of Ji Yuan!

The Immortal Heavenly Wrath appeared to be furious and the gigantic red coiling dragon had suddenly doubled in size!

The fierce winds and lighting bolts had suddenly doubled in ferocity as it ripped the numerous profound arrays apart!

Many unfortunate onlookers were also swept away or were killed!

The Immortal Heavenly Wrath was not over yet!
