Chapter 834 Ji Yuan, Do You Dare To Follow Me?
After Ji Yuan had finished with his duel, there were large mutterings from many of the female spiritas that were watching the duel; they were all astonished.
“Did you see that?”
“How is it possible for Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan to move so swiftly and attack at the same time?”
“He didn’t charge his sword energies when he moved and has only attacked at the last minute…”
“Is it even possible to display this amount of profound sword energies in such a short time?”
Many of the female spiritas were actually titled nobles and their spirit divine senses were extremely sharp.
They could all tell that Ji Yuan had been using all his profound strength to make his move but when one was moving at such intense speed, it was impossible to make a powerful profound attack at the same time too.
That was why when the spiritas cultivators were drawing their spiritual talismans, they had to forfeit their movements to focus all their profound strength and concentration into their spirit talismans.
The same goes for Yang Batian as well; he had to increase his profound power with his Heavens Annihilation Force in order to display his Seventh Heavens Annihilation Sword.
By right, Ji Yuan should have readied a defensive or offensive profound art to brace himself for an attack. But he had instead taken on the Seventh Heavens Annihilation Sword directly before its full profound power could be manifested.
One must know that when profound power is being displayed, it is the same as stabbing a sword on the ground. Every 1 foot into the ground is twice as difficult.
When profound power is being used, there is an intense profound power that actually prevented another cultivator from getting close until the offensive profound power had faded from use. In a way, being on the constant offensive is also the best defense.
That is also the reason why power cultivators like Yang Batian that can enhance his profound power several times with his Heavens Annihilation Force are almost unapproachable. Moreover, Yang Batian is also a defense cultivator that could stop a melee attack dead in its track.
With the constant profound pressure around Yang Batian, it was already too late and extremely difficult for Ji Yuan to muster his profound strength without being affected since everyone could tell that Ji Yuan actually had the weaker profound strength and profound aura.
All the cultivators, even Chu Lixue the Smiling Divine Maiden could not understand how Ji Yuan was not affected by the profound aura of Yang Batian as he made his counter-attack at point blank.
The reason why Ji Yuan was not affected by the profound aura of Yang Batian was that he had become a Sword Deity and attained a new state of divinity through his comprehension of the sword energies cultivation.
When a sword saint is able to display his first sword domain, this also means that the willpower of his sword intents exceeded even the limitation his own profound strength to display a profound sword art that exceeded even the current cultivation realm.
And this willpower of a sword saint’s sword intents does not manifest just only when a sword domain is being used but also in the way profound energies are being manifested.
That was the reason why Yang Batian’s profound aura was unable to stop Ji Yuan from using his profound sword art.
And Yang Batian was experienced enough to know that it was pointless to continue the fight with Ji Yuan even though he still has a couple of unused trump cards that could be useful in the duel.
That was why he had surrendered the fight even though he could still continue the fight.
A sword saint with Ji Yuan’s state of divinity is already considered to be a most feared super cultivator and he is not merely a sword cultivator.
Yang Batian could only sigh bitterly that he had actually lost to a cultivator that was so much weaker than him.
In terms of profound power and defense, he was definitely better. But in terms of speed, agility and the use of techniques, this Ji Yuan was much better.
And during their brief exchanges, Yang Batian had already gauged that Ji Yuan was not even serious in his fight against him.
As Yang Batian walked to the exit of the battle arena, he turned around to raise his thumb up to Ji Yuan. “Young man, you are really impressive. I am so wrong!”
Ji Yuan grinned as he raised his hands into a respectful bow, “Senior is also equally impressive and this junior is thankful to senior for showing your mercy on me.”
Yang Batian said loudly, “Do you want to learn my Heavens Annihilation Force and my Heavens Annihilation Sword?”
Ji Yuan asked curiously, “How long will this take me?”
Yang Batian answered with a smile, “100 to 500 years, depending on how talented the cultivator is. But you should be even faster.”
Ji Yuan smiled weakly, “I can be quick with your Heavens Annihilation Sword but not your Heavens Annihilation Force. But it seems that your Heavens Annihilation Sword requires the use of the Heavens Annihilation Force and is a unique sword art. Therefore, I don’t think I will be able to pick it up and have to decline your kind offer.”
Ji Yuan did not even master his old man’s Yang Invincible Profound Arts, which consisted of the Yang Invincible Body Art and the Yang Invincible Sword Art (See Chapter 564).
His old man had told him that learning his Yang Invincible Body Art would enable him to have an equivalent profound power in profound defense whenever he used his profound sword arts. That was why his Invincible Body Art was also called the Invincible Body.
That was until his old man had told him that he had to use the Yang Invincible Sword Art in order to have this effect.
And Ji Yuan had almost fainted on the spot when he had heard that.
This was actually not the only weakness of the Yang Invincible Body Art. This Yang Invincible Body Art also had the effect of increasing his Yang Essence uncontrollably which made Ji Yuan really uncomfortable.
That was why Ji Yuan had completely lost interest in cultivating the Yang Invincible Profound Arts after some time as he preferred not to be restricted in his sword arts.
Yang Batian was about to walk away when he seemed to have thought about something and he had turned his head to say to Ji Yuan again. “I don’t think that you can win me if I am able to display my Eighth Heavens Annihilation Sword. It is several times more powerful than my Seventh Heavens Annihilation Sword.”
Ji Yuan returned a grin, “And why didn’t you use it then?”
Yang Batian said with a heavy sigh, “That is because I didn’t learn it yet. It requires me to be fully one with the Heavens and the Earth in its annihilating moment. No matter how I cultivate it, my profound energies will always reverse and it is impossible to even use it. Although I can’t but you may be able to. You can take a look at my Heavens Annihilation Sword.”
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, “I don’t think I am able to help you.”
Yang Batian smiled, “Not help me. It is to help you. Aren’t you curious about my Heavens Annihilation Sword. If so, why don’t you follow me to my cultivation chamber? Do you dare to follow me?”
Ji Yuan had already flashed next to Yang Batian like an old friend, “You mean you will show me your cultivation slip?”
Yang Batian laughed jovially, “Of course. Or else why should I ask you to take a look?”
Ji Yuan was also laughing jovially, “There is no harm in taking a look then…”
At the VIP speculator stands, Chu Lixue almost fainted when she saw that Ji Yuan could just casually put aside his animosity for Yang Batian and even followed him.
“Ji Yuan, you idiot! Can’t you see that this is a trap?!”
But it was already too late as Ji Yuan and Yang Batian had already disappeared from view.
Ding Jie’Er was looking at Chu Lixue and she was blinking her eyes, “This is a trap?”
Chu Lixue said bitterly, “No cultivator will ever show another cultivator their cultivation slips. We need to stop them right away.”
Ding Jie’Er was alarmed as she said to one of her female followers, “Quickly stop them from entering the cultivation chamber before it is too late. Don’t let Yuan Beluga enters the cultivation chamber. Once he enters it, we can’t open it from the outside in short notice.”
Xiao Muhan was weakly saying, “That is Ji Yuan. He has no concept of friends and foes after the duel has ended…”
Chu Lixue said with a look of great exasperation, “I think he just wants to take a peek at a superior sword art and this curiosity of his will end up killing him one day.”
