The next day, Ji Yuan was still chatting with Ling Feiyue and Chu Lixue as they shared many memories and jokes together. 

But after today, he would have to be parted from Ling Feiyue and that was why for the past 2 days, he did not even take a break to cultivate. 

After all, cultivation was not as important as spending time with Ling Feiyue or with Chu Lixue! 

Moreover, he would receive 2 days of break after today’s battle anyway and also he could feel he had already regained his profound strength passively. 

The little parasite worm in his inner spiritual sea was not lying to him that it would be helpful. 

The Trial Spirit announced, “The third battle starts soon. May the champions please be prepared for your next round of battle.”

Xiao Muhan and Bu Danwang were both preparing to fight in the next round of battle when Chu Lixue had suddenly stood up and said to them, “I shall fight the next round of battle alone.”

This startled Xiao Muhan and Bu Danwang.

“How can we allow Maiden Chu Lixue to go alone?” Bu Danwang was startled. 

Even Xiao Muhan was saying, “This won’t do. We are not cowards…”

Even though Xiao Muhan was aware that Chu Lixue was a stronger cultivator than he was as evidenced from the last trial but this was just limited to only the last trial; he had no idea how strong Chu Lixue truly was as he had rejoined Ji Yuan’s party only just recently.

The Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue looked completely frail and vulnerable. Moreover, she was also such a coyly looking maiden whose divine smiles touched the hearts of Xiao Muhan and Bu Danwang. Even if she wants them to tank for her, they would be willing to do so in the face such an extremely coyly beautiful maiden.

But Chu Lixue smiled to them and she had already walked to the entrance of the portal that led to the battle arena, “No need. Just stay here and watch me.”

Xiao Muhan was about to stop her when Ji Yuan stopped him by catching hold of his shoulder, “It is alright. Let her go.”

“Ji Yuan! Do you know what you are saying? We are two men here and you are allowing your beloved to fight alone?”

Ji Yuan frowned, “Why didn’t I see you saying the same thing to me when my beloved Feiyue is going to the battle arena?”

Ling Feiyue was frowning behind Ji Yuan as though she was asking the same too.

Xiao Muhan laughed awkwardly, “Dark Mistress Ling Feiyue is renowned as a top unorthodox cultivator in our Desolate Celestial Fraternity. That’s why. Haha…”

Ji Yuan frowned with some suspicions as he gave a warning, “You’ve better not have any funny ideas on Maiden Chu Lixue. She is my beloved. If you dare to green me, I will make sure you pay dearly for it even if you are my best friend.”

Xiao Muhan: …

“I think you are overreacting.”

Bu Danwang behind Xiao Muhan had broken in a cold sweat; it was because he could feel Ji Yuan looking at him as well, seemingly warning him not to have any funny ideas on either Chu Lixue or Ling Feiyue.

He began to nod nonstop and was even trembling; this Ji Yuan was too strong for him to make an enemy with and he did not want any troubles, especially against a powerhouse cultivator with two emperor-step divine swords.

Secretly he was thinking: This team is too crazy… I have seen 3 emperor-step divine swords in just this team alone. Even in my entire celestial fraternity, I don’t think I can even see a single cultivator with an emperor-step divine sword… I didn’t even see a single cultivator with an emperor-step divine sword in the entire Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth except for this team…

The Smiling Divine Maiden had walked into the battle arena and the dark apparition of her opponent could suddenly be seen; it looked eerily like the dark apparition of the Goddess Ai Tina!

She was actually not wrong to think so.

It was because the Goddess Ai Tina had indeed created a dark apparition of herself at the 7th cultivation realm for the third round of battle.

When the dark apparitions of the Goddess Ai Tina had appeared, there were startled surprises from all the divine consorts in the Divine Temples and the colosseums.

“The champions are fighting against our Goddess Ai Tina?”I think you should take a look at

“This is only an apparition… so it should be weaker…”

“This trial is so interesting…”

“It is heretic to lift a finger against our Goddess Ai Tina…”

“It seems that the third round of battle will not be easy at all…”

The Trial Spirit had suddenly announced, “May the battle starts now.”

The third round of battle simultaneously started among the many champions against the apparition of the Goddess Ai Tina.

For Chu Lixue, her apparition attacker had already raised 4 shadow talismans that flew in her direction. 

Usually for spirit talismans, it was hard to miss but weirdly, Chu Lixue was able to evade through the spirit talismans as it exploded around her.

But before she could close in to the apparition attacker, the spirit talismans had exploded again but in a wider area!𝔫𝔬𝓥𝑬𝐋𝑵𝓮xt.𝒞𝑜𝔪

This startled Chu Lixue as she was flung from where she was and she had to raise her divine sword to defend herself.

“These spirit talismans can explode again?!”

Many of the champions that were fighting, even the divine consorts and the speculators that were watching were all startled that the spirit talismans could explode again; it means that there would be 8 profound explosions that would be caused by these 4 spirit talismans!

Chu Lixue was also startled because she was caught unaware by it.

Ji Yuan on the other hand was clenching his fists tightly as he watched the battle imagery…

Xiao Muhan and Bu Danwang were both startled; they could imagine themselves blowing apart by the 8 profound explosions and even losing their limbs!

Ji Yuan had experienced the profound power of these spirit talismans before from the Goddess Ai Tina. 

He did not exactly experience against it as the Goddess Ai Tina was not using her spirit talismans against him. But he knows that the secondary explosions of these spirit talismans were several times greater than the initial ones.

But luckily, the secondary profound explosions of these spirit talismans were only twice as powerful and not as powerful as the real Goddess Ai Tina but it was still enough to seriously wound or kill any cultivator that was below the 7th cultivation realm.

Even for a 7th cultivation realm cultivator, they would not possibly withstand so many profound impacts from these profound explosions before their profound aura was depleted. 

Ji Yuan knows that even though his senior sister was able to evade profound attacks better than him but she could not evade these random profound explosions that covered a wide area of coverage without depleting her profound aura. 

It was not just Chu Lixue that was fighting hard now but many of the champions were even struggling to fight the apparitions of the Goddess Ai Tina. 

Chu Lixue quickly displayed a burst of sword energies upon the apparition attacker after she had blocked off the explosions but the apparition attack had a defense spirit talisman that was readied and her sword energy attack had bounded off harmlessly. 

At the same time, the apparition attacker had also flickered two more spirit talismans in her direction!

The attacking speed of the apparition attacker was simply too fast! 

Chu Lixue sped off quickly but the spirit talismans were even able to change course to follow her before exploding over her again, and then exploding again! 

  4 bursts of profound explosions had almost occurred at the same time on Chu Lixue!

Ji Yuan had broken into a cold sweat as he started to curse this trial, “I know there must be a catch somewhere with this easy trial. Senior sister, don’t die…”
