Chapter 1127 One Incense to consider your Fate

Chapter 1127 One Incense to consider your Fate

The oppressing profound voice of the Evil Cultivation God echoed, "All of you got only one incense time to consider whether you want to surrender or to fight with the Evil Cultivation Palace."

Ji Yuan was not paying any attention anymore and he was gripping his sword in anger.

However, something else had forced him to reconsider flying up to the Evil Cultivation Palace to confront the Evil Cultivation God first; it was the safety of the rest of his maidens.

He had to get his maidens to safety first before he avenged the deaths of his Jiajia and the rest of his other maidens.

He did not think that the Evil Cultivation Palace would spare Xue Qianxue, Fairy Ye Chengxi, Shui Qingqing and Saintess Yuxian for they were all the prominent celestial cultivators of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. 

Although Ji Yuan was at boiling point now but he still retained his sanity.

It was also at this moment that the gigantic Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, that of a gigantic statue of the Great God Pangu had also completely disappeared from the heavens.

Ji Yuan had suddenly felt a jolt in his soul sea as a gently voice echoed in his inner spiritual sea, "As promise, I shall lend you my artefact soul core."

The gentle voice had also jolted Xiang Li, Anyang, Aura and Little Yui. 

At the same time, Ji Yuan's inner spiritual sea was also fully restored when his inner spiritual sea was jolted suddenly.

Ji Yuan was astonished: So I have the artefact core of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth now?

All of a sudden Ji Yuan could feel the profound pressure of a powerful array that had been activated in the valley.

This formidable array could cause all the cultivators within its radius to slow down and made it even harder for the cultivators to muster their profound strength, even the 7th realm cultivators.

However, it won't have any effect on Ji Yuan even if he restricted himself to the 7th realm cultivation as his real cultivation enables him to ignore the restrictions that were placed by the profound array.

Ji Yuan wondered how many divine swords the Evil Cultivation Palace were sacrificing to create these profound arrays.

But then, these divine swords were probably stolen from the dead cultivators anyway.

He had silently decided to fight his way through once the fighting starts and rescue his maidens in the chaos of the fighting. 

Many of the returning golden celestials were now hesitating and thinking panicky.

"Only 1 incense time to consider?"

"We are being surrounded…"

"I don't want to die…"

"9th realm godly existence…"

"How can we defeat an immortal god?"

"I am only a lowly 5th realm cultivator. I don't want to die…"

"I am only a lowly 7th realm cultivator. I don't want to die so soon…"

"The profound arrays here can actually affect me? What kind of a profound array is this?"

"Is this an immortal array?"

"I have difficulty mustering my profound strength and I need to double my profound strength to use the same profound art…"

"I am too young to die…"

"Wait! I surrender!"

"I am from the righteous orthodox celestial cultivation sect. I'll never yield or bend my knees to the Evil Cultivation Palace!" 

"Maybe it isn't that bad to join a dual cultivation sect…"

"Where is my celestial sect?"

"Isn't that my master? My cultivation master has betrayed his own sect?!"

"I am from one of the seven orthodox celestial sects. I'll never surrender to the Evil Cultivation Sect and her cronies!" 

"Even if I die fighting, I have no regrets!"

Originally, every 500 years the 7 major orthodox celestial sects would have a truce with the 5 major unorthodox celestial sects for the trials of the Empyrean Warrior Empyrean. This of course included hundreds of other cultivation sects as well. 

No one was willing to break this sacred agreement lest the immortals punished them for their sacrilegious action.

Therefore, it comes to a great surprise to many that they were now being threatened with death from the Evil Cultivation Palace and that many of the cultivators that were facing them were actually their former allies.

A majority of the returning celestial cultivators were actually meditating in the limbo as they had chosen the quit option instead of risking their lives in the higher levels of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. 

Therefore, their morale was the first to be hit as they did not have much of a fighting spirit in the first place. 

Most of them were unwilling to give up their lives after spending so much time, resources and luck to attain to the golden celestial level.

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao had naturally heard the Evil Cultivation God and she was startled that the Great Demon God was dead and he had been replaced by him.

She just did not believe that the Great Demon God is dead.

So, she closed her eyes as she extended her sword intention to the Great Desolate Divine Palace that was faraway.

She naturally had a secret way of finding out if the Great Demon God was truly dead and she also had a secret means of communication with the Great Demon God as well. 

Great Universe Sword Sense! 

All the immortal arrays that were left behind by the Great Demon God are actually still active.

This means that the Great Demon God isn't dead yet.

All of a sudden, she had heard the voice of the Great Demon God in her head.

"Number 1, you have finally returned. Come back to the Great Desolate Divine Palace now. I need you."

Ding Xiaoxiao answered him, "Indeed, Great Demon God. I am back now. I am just back from the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. It seems that the Evil Cultivation Master has declared himself as the Evil Cultivation God and he is even at the 9th realm cultivation."

The Great Demon God said feebly, "In my moment of carelessness, he has absorbed my cultivation profound strength with his Evil Veins. That is why he is able to restore his cultivation realm to his peak. It is not wrong to say that he is the true master of the Evil Cultivation Palace now."

Ding Xiaoxiao coldly said, "I don't believe it. Even if he has the Evil Vein but you have the Ultimate Evil Vein. He can't possibly absorb your cultivation profound strength unless you allow him to do so."

There was a short silence before the Great Demon God laughed, "Hahahaha. Ding Xiaoxiao, I know that I can't fool you. You should consider be my consort instead. You are not only very strong but you are also a very smart and extremely beautiful maiden too. I greatly desire you…"

Ding Xiaoxiao interrupted him nonchalantly, "Great Demon God. So, what is your purpose in this? You care to reveal your plans to me?"

The Great Demon God laughed jovially for a while before he said, "This Evil Cultivation Master Yin Xian has been secretly grooming his own cultivators for a long time. If I do not trick him into revealing his hands then he won't reveal his secret trump card. After all, the Desolate Celestial Fraternity is a vast place and he needs all the help that he can muster to keep things in order. And I like to see who are the ones that are loyal to him…"

"… Also, I'd really like to know if the Death God Mingwang is truly loyal to our cause. Do you think that the Death God Mingwang will join hands with the Evil Cultivation God Yin Xian or fight with him to establish a new order? After all, two true gods in a middle realm are rather crowded."

Ding Xiaoxiao frowned, "I am not interested to know."

The Great Demon God laughed, "Come back to the Great Desolate Divine Palace first."

Ding Xiaoxiao casually said, "As you wish, Great Demon God."

"Oh, by the way." The Great Demon God said casually, "I'm afraid that you may have to fight your way in order to see me. After all, I am being guarded by the dogs of the Evil Cultivation God. I'm sure that this isn't too troublesome for you to do so. Hahahaha."

Ding Xiaoxiao said coldly, "You can just kill them yourself. Are you simply waiting for me to return to kill those dogs for you so that you can maintain a façade that I am the one that is the real threat instead of you?"

The Great Demon God laughed jovially, "Alas, you are indeed my Number 1. You really know me so well."

Ding Xiaoxiao sighed softly, "I really wish that you can command me to rescue you then I don't have to be in your service anymore."

The Great Demon God laughed jovially, "No way! After I have the Celestial Realm, I would like you to be my empress as we share the spoils of the Celestial Realm."

Ding Xiaoxiao said quietly, "You know that this is impossible…"

It was because she had already given her heart to Ji Yuan… 

The Great Demon God said jovially to her, "Xiaoxiao, I will make you mine one day."

Ding Xiaoxiao hummed, "I am just a pawn in your eyes, just like the Goddess Mel. So are all the others."

The Great Demon God laughed, "No, you are special. You are a special pawn to me."

Ding Xiaoxiao: …
