Chapter 1130: Hollow Spirit State Divine Damnation
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: mjn0898
Ye Mo had completely forgotten about time, he didn’t even know his herb king spirit range had shrunk greatly.
If he saw that the herb king spirit range was getting smaller and smaller, he might stop immediately because comparatively, the Bitter Bamboo was the basis for his cultivation. Without the herb king spirit range, the Bitter Bamboo would be dead.
Cultivation was timeless and even in the time formation disk, it was like that too. Ye Mo felt his cultivation essence had reached a peak and couldn’t increase anymore. He suddenly opened his eyes.
He was nascent soul state level nine peak stage, Ye Mo was shocked at how long had he been cultivating.
Ye Mo was initially overjoyed, but soon he didn’t have any of that feeling. He saw that his herb king spirit range had shrunk by nearly 20%.
Ye Mo was sure that although he needed a lot of spirit chi, he didn’t need this much. It wouldn’t even be 1% of the herb king spirit range and that would be enough for him to reach nascent soul state peak stage. Without question, it was due to the time formation disk.
It must be so much more effective to use the herb king spirit range to power the time formation disk and the time difference ratio would be much higher, but he only had one herb king spirit range.
He quickly put away the spirit attraction formation and the time formation disk. If he continued like this, it won’t be long before his herb king spirit range completely disappeared. If that happened, how could his Bitter Bamboo surivive?
The herb king spirit range was precious, but it was fine if it disappeared – but there must not be any dangers with the Bitter Bamboo.
Ye Mo felt that he had spent at about 3 years in solitary cultivation, maybe a bit less. He wondered how much time had passed outside.
Ye Mo used a few cleansing spells on himself and learned that he was about to face divine damnation. He had an ample amount of Hollow Meridian pills. As for where to face his divine damnation, he hadn’t thought of it yet. He needed to find a way out first.
He thought that he had been below the crevice for at least a few months and those two hollow spirit state cultivators must be gone.
When he came to the crevice again, he only saw a large empty place. There was much less life force here due to the herb king spirit range having been taken.
He subconsciously released Zi Xu and tried flying. The powerful suction force was still there. Ye Mo was sure that with his current power, he wouldn’t be able to fly up.
Reach hollow spirit state was the only thought in Ye Mo’s head. He knew that he still wouldn’t be able to fly up after reaching hollow spirit state, but hollow spirit state was more than ten times stronger than nascent soul state.
Ye Mo started setting up spirit gathering, lightning attraction, and lightning storage formations. If it wasn’t for the last two formations, he would’ve died to that annihilation divine damnation, who knew if it would come again?
…
At this moment, there were countless cultivators outside the Zhou River Swamp. Some cultivators even tried flying above it.
They came here because they heard that another ancient ruin was discovered here. The news spread because Earth Demon Sect cultivators sneakily came around here and they were exposed by low level cultivators.
As the news spread, more and more people knew and the stories got crazier. It ended up with people finding low grade cultivation artifacts and someone getting a heaven grade cultivation method.
Eventually, even some 7-star and 8-star sect’s people came, but only the Earth Demon Sect elders felt depressed.
They came to the swamp first for Ye Mo, wanting to trap him there, and secondly for the ancient spirit herb garden. But now, this was all exposed.
But even so, they could only pretend they didn’t know. Hunting Ye Mo was no small thing, as for the spirit herb garden, they didn’t dare to mention it at all.
Due to this, more and more cultivators came to the Zhou River Swamp. Even the Mang Mountain Town grew popular again.
But the cultivators searched for a few months and found nothing besides some high level swamp spirit beasts.
As time went on, some cultivators were planning to leave, but at this time, the sky above the swamp suddenly darkened. Lightning bolts crackled in the sky.
“What’s going on?” All the cultivators stared at the sky in the depth of the swamp.
“I understand, it’s divine damnation…” one cultivator yelled.
“Who would be having divine damnation inside the swamp? It’s a spirit beast right?”
…
9 baby arm sized lightning bolts cracked down into the swamp.
*Rumle rumble rumble*
The lightning crackled down into the earth, the loud thud could be felt this far away. The ground beneath them was shaking.
“Someone is having divine damnation beneath the earth…”
“No, some spirit beast.”
“It can’t be a spirit beast, this divine damnation is too terrifying. Just the first bolt is this thick, how terrifying would the later ones be? Is someone going to reach truth realisation state, or is a spirit beast reaching level 10?”
The divine damnation made everyone’s face change. The Earth Demon Sect’s hollow spirit state elders’s face changed, they thought it might be Ye Mo at first, but seeing this power, they were sure it wasn’t him.
This divine damnation was too terrifying.
What the cultivators didn’t expect was that after the first wave, the second wave immediately followed without any gap. It clearly wanted to kill the person.
The cultivators were terrified at this divine damnation, but no one left. Such a divine damnation was unseen before, they wanted to see what sort of person could bring down such terrifying divine damnation.
…
This was Ye Mo’s divine damnation, of course. After he ate the Hollow Meridian Pill, he even picked a Bitter Bamboo leaf and put it in his mouth to prevent having the Heart Demon tribulation again.
Ye Mo relaxed a little upon seeing that the lighting bolts were still baby arm sized. It was the same size as when he broke through to nascent soul state.
He wasn’t scared of this when he was golden core state peak stage, much less now. He released Zi Xu and hacked out with purple sword rays.
Ye Mo had experience now; when facing the divine damnation, he couldn’t use Illusion Cloud or it would be less effective.
*Crack crack*
Purple lightning exploded around Ye Mo. Ye Mo blocked 5 of the first wave with Zi Xu while the remaining four landed on Ye Mo. With the Three Birth Chant, he completely devoured them.
Ye Mo could feel his power increasing drastically. Ye Mo felt this divine damnation had bolts of the same size, but it was much more powerful than the golden core state divine damnation. Even so, the first wave didn’t faze him at all.
Then, the second and third wave fell.
However, the second and third wave were a bit thicker than the first.
*Rumble rumble rumble*
*Crack*
Ye Mo hacked away nearly ten bolts but the rest still fell on him.
Ye Mo was injured a little, but he still devoured the remaining lightning.
The fourth wave didn’t fall and seemed to be in preparation. Ye Mo didn’t move, the spirit gathering formation formed by tens of millions of spirit stones was enough for him and formed a mist around him.
Even so, he didn’t take out the octagonal cauldron. He knew that the more lightning bolts he devoured, the better. If he blocked them with his octagonal cauldron, he wouldn’t benefit as much.
The sky grew even darker and a few small lightning sparks cracked occasionally, as though signaling more powerful lightning.
At the same time, the cultivators outside were all shocked. Even hollow spirit state cultivators were thinking that they wouldn’t’ be able to block the first three waves. It must be a powerful being going through divine damnation.
