Chapter 1196 The Great Demon God's final Trump Card

Ding Xiaoxiao said to the Great Demon God Hong Meng, "You've lost. If you are wise enough, you ought to leave the Celestial Realm."

The Great Demon God hummed coldly to Ding Xiaoxiao, "Very well. It seems that I've lost this game of chess for now. I will remember what you've done, Ding Xiaoxiao. Next time when we meet again, we shall be enemies." 

Ji Yuan shouted over to Ding Xiaoxiao, "What if I still want to kill the Great Demon God? Maiden Xiaoxiao, will you stop me?"

He had to make the Great Demon God pay for killing his Jiajia!

Ding Xiaoxiao asked Ji Yuan instead, "I've changed the third agreement with the Great Demon God to protect his life. Therefore, I will safeguard his life for today. Ji Yuan, do you want to fight me?" 

Then she said tenderly to him, "I can sense the rage that is in your heart but for my sake, can you spare the Great Demon God for today? Even if I don't intervene, it is quite impossible for you to kill him in your current condition. At most, you will still end up sending him back to the Immortal Desolate Realm." 

Ji Yuan sighed heavily; indeed, Ding Xiaoxiao was right. Actually, he was already spent from fighting against the Great Demon God while the Great Demon God still had the profound strength as he needed to maintain 1/3 of his cultivation strength in order to stay in the Celestial Realm. If he pushes his luck with the Great Demon God too much then he may end up being killed instead.

Ding Xiaoxiao was actually trying to help him by forcing the Great Demon God to retreat back to the Immortal Desolate Realm. 

She could not kill the Great Demon God but she had intercepted Ji Yuan's last profound attack in order to fulfil her obligation to the Great Demon God.

As long as she was here, the Great Demon God would not be able to pull any tricks to hurt him and his maidens that were here; it was because Ding Xiaoxiao would see to that and she was able to force the Great Demon God to accept her terms in his current weakened state.

With a great sigh, Ji Yuan said rather unwillingly. "Alright then. So be it."

The Great Demon God laughed coldly, "To think that my grand scheme will be folded by this Sword Saint Ji Yuan. I really can't believe it. I really can't believe it…"

It was not just the Great Demon God that could not believe this but Yun Chi as well.

By right, Ji Yuan still won't have the sufficient strength to defeat the Great Demon God even if he is the True Devil God's reincarnation as there is still a disparity in their cultivation strength and realm. 

They did not know that when Ji Yuan had returned from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, he had also gained the artefact soul of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.

With this newly gained strength from the artefact soul of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and his inspiration from the Greater Dao of the Heavens, he was able to use the Golden Natal Divine Pearl as his source of profound strength and had even attained the Golden Invincible Body, making it hard for the Great Demon God to kill him with his Dark Crimson Fire of Destruction. 

The Great Demon God turned to Ji Yuan as he said coldly, "If our fight continues, you may not live in your current state but I will be forced to return to my immortal realm too. Although I may be leaving soon but I ought to warn you that the Death God Mingwang is still lurking in the Celestial Realm. He is a true god like me as well and he is an expert in assassinations. Who knows if he is actually lurking nearby just to end your life. Hahahaha…"

Ji Yuan was laughing too, "I'm not afraid of the Death God Mingwang. Even if there are 10 Death God Mingwang, I am not afraid. And I think the reason why the Death God Mingwang isn't here is because he fears me. Hahaha…" 

Naturally he is not afraid of the Death God Mingwang because Yun Chi is the Death God Mingwang and she is pregnant with his child.

Yun Chi secretly cursed Ji Yuan: You don't fear me, do you? I will settle this score with you later. You have better not cry for mercy later.

All of a sudden the Great Demon God had flashed up to the heavens in a brilliant flash of white light, leaving behind Ji Yuan's true divinity sword and immortal scabbard behind.

And there was a cold laughter from the heavens, "We shall meet again. That is, if you are all still alive." 

The Great Demon God was now returning to the Immortal Desolate Realm! 

The hundreds of cultivators that were left behind, including some of the lesser Numbers were all shocked that the Great Demon God had lost to the Sword Saint Ji Yuan and had even abandoned them.

Right now, they were all confused if they should attack the Sword Saint Ji Yuan or not.

They were more afraid of Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao the White Lily than the Sword Saint Ji Yuan.

But all of a sudden, the entire Great Desolate Divine Palace was rocking violently and a large red profound array could be seen enveloping all over the place.

The profound voice of the Great Demon God could be heard laughing, "You got but 10 blinks of an eye before the Great Desolate Divine Palace exploded like the burning sun. You won't be able to escape or survive because the explosion covers 100 miles and is 100 times more powerful than my Dark Crimson Fire of Destruction. Number 1, welcome back to the Desolate Immortal Realm. Hahahaha…"

There were 3 lesser Numbers that were among the hundreds of cultivators. When they had heard that the entire Great Desolate Divine Palace was going to explode, they immediately flashed up to the heavens in a flash of brilliant white light to escape the coming calamity.

They had literally abandoned the hundreds of celestial cultivators in this place.

There were also 10 desolate immortals among the hundreds of cultivators. With no time to even fly to the edge as the Great Desolate Divine Palace were a ten mile wide floating citadel fortress, all of them were forced to speed up to the heaven with a brilliant flash of white light.

Only by returning to the immortal realm would they sped up out harm's way by entering into another spatial space of the heavens. 

Ding Xiaoxiao was shocked as she stared blankly at Ji Yuan; she did not want to abandon Ji Yuan to his death by leaving for the Immortal Desolate Realm herself.

Ji Yuan was also shocked as he cursed the Great Demon God loudly, "Darn you, stupid old goat! So this is your final trump card?!"

He quickly shouted to the rest, including Ding Xiaoxiao. "Come into my skull ring. If my skull ring does not get destroy then we may all survive this…"

"Everyone, come into my Traverse Transference Divine Array. I can take all of you back to the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect." Xu Yifei was also calling out to everyone as she displayed a white profound circle around her.

Ji Yuan looked a little sheepish as he suddenly pulled Ding Xiaoxiao along with him toward the profound circle that Xu Yifei had created while muttering weakly, "This is actually a better suggestion."

Xu Yifei quickly completed the Traverse Transference Divine Array just in time to take away Ji Yuan, Ding Xiaoxiao, Yun Chi and Shui Xisi with herself just as the entire Great Desolate Divine Palace exploded like a blazing sun in a 100 mile radius, destroying the Great Desolate Divine Palace and the 100 profound ships that accompanied it. 

More than 30 000 evil cultivators perished in this blazing explosion that shook the surroundings with its profound shockwaves and the explosion could be seen even from the mountains of the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect.
