Chapter 1206: Strange Cauldron Filling State Divine Damnation
The two retreated to the side as Ye Mo produced his top-grade spirit stones and spirit crystals, forming a spirit gathering formation. He consumed a Kun Filling Pill and, using the Three Birth Chant, charged toward the cauldron filling state barrier.
After setting up the formation, the surrounding spirit chi surged wildly, enveloping the barren island in a thick spirit mist. Teng Yi and Bian Fengta couldn't determine the formation's level, but its immense power was clearly extraordinary. They dared not guess it was level seven; at most, they surmised Ye Mo was a level six formation grandmaster. He had no need for a level nine formation with such an abundance of spirit crystals and stones; level seven sufficed, and level nine would simply waste materials. His level nine formation materials were limited, all acquired from Yue Qichao.
Witnessing the massive spirit chi whirlpool above Ye Mo's head, Teng Yi murmured, "Er Taa, I now believe you. Brother Ye reached body condensation state peak from level seven in four months! I've never seen anyone devour spirit chi with such power. Even the most prodigious beast cultivator couldn't match him."
Bian Fengta started to reply, but the rapidly darkening sky silenced him. He hadn't anticipated the divine damnation to arrive so soon; he'd expected at least three days.
Rumble
Over thirty lightning arcs, each the size of a man's arm, descended, leaving them speechless. Beast cultivator divine damnations were typically stronger than those of human cultivators, yet Teng Yi had never witnessed anything so terrifying. The scale resembled a disaster transformation to truth realization state divine damnation, but even that wouldn't unleash thirty-six lightning arcs simultaneously. This was clearly intended to kill Ye Mo instantly!
It was over. They knew Ye Mo lacked even a defensive magic artifact.
But unexpectedly, Ye Mo disregarded the lightning arcs, even counterattacking with his own. His arcs were black, in stark contrast to the blue divine damnation lightning.
Thud thud
After Ye Mo neutralized the initial thirty-six arcs, dozens more, thicker and denser, rained down. Teng Yi and Bian Fengta could only watch Ye Mo's black lightning clash with the blue, creating deafening sounds.
They stared in shock. What manner of monster was this new friend? Even disaster transformation state cultivators might not survive such arcs. They'd never seen a truth realization state immortal ascension divine damnation, but this surpassed any they could imagine.
This divine damnation was unlike any they'd seen. Normally, such events came in waves with pauses, but there was no respite. It was as if the damnation wouldn't stop until Ye Mo died, and he wouldn't yield until he'd exhausted its fury. To approach it would be certain death. They finally understood why Ye Mo, despite his formation knowledge, had only erected a spirit gathering formation, not a defense formation. Ordinary level six defense formations would be useless against this onslaught.
Initially, Ye Mo counted the lightning arcs, but as their number increased, he focused entirely on refining the lightning source. He cared less about counting; he only hoped for more arcs to accelerate his cultivation.
The moment his extreme-grade spirit artifact armor shattered, he switched to another. He possessed many and didn't mind their destruction. Only Teng Yi and Bian Fengta's presence compelled him to change.
A crackโa faint sound amidst the roaring divine damnationโyet Ye Mo heard it clearly. He had reached the cauldron filling state, and his power surged dramatically.
Instantly, he absorbed the nearly solid surrounding spirit chi, reaching cauldron filling state level one peak. Nine more lightning arcs, thicker than bottles, struck him. He felt satisfied, expecting more, but the divine damnation clouds dissipatedโit was over.
The sudden cessation stunned him. He frowned, noticing it had been less intense than his body condensation state divine damnation. He was utterly bewildered.
It seemed the divine damnation, aware of his intent to use the arcs for breakthrough, had retreated at the most crucial moment.
Enraged, Ye Mo shot lightning arcs skyward, but his defiance was futile; the damnation was finished.
Then, a large blue spirit cloud descended. The spirit chi within was purer than that of his spirit gathering formation, finally offering some comfort. He devoured it entirely, reaching cauldron filling state level two.
Feeling his enhanced power, Ye Mo exhaled contentedly. He cleansed himself with clear water spells, changed clothes, and collected his unused spirit stones and crystals.
Teng Yi and Bian Fengta finally reacted. Was that a divine damnation? It was more like divine annihilation! Seeing Ye Mo at cauldron filling state level two, they were utterly speechless. They had witnessed too many impossibilities that day.
Ye Mo finished gathering his belongings as two figures landed on the island.
"Human cultivator?" A seductive woman, accompanied by a handsome middle-aged man, appeared. She stared at Ye Mo and asked, "What was all the commotion?"
The man stated plainly, "Sister Yi, why bother talking? Kill him."
They were beast cultivators, both at cauldron filling state peak stage. Ye Mo intended to answer, but their murderous intent made his eyes flash coldly.
Before he could speak, Teng Yi intervened, coldly stating, "Ye Mo is my friend. You have no right to interfere."
"Teng Yi, you dare conspire with human cultivators?" the man asked coldly.
Teng Yi replied, "Conspire? What can you do about it? Tell Father if you have the guts. Father has human friends; what makes me any different? Get lost, you're not welcome here."
"You..." The man pointed, but could do nothing.
The woman seductively countered, "Teng Yi, I'm your sister-in-law. How can you treat us like this? I merely asked what happened. This is the outskirts of my Dragon Teng Palace. Can't I inquire?"
"Haha," Teng Yi laughed, pointing at the woman. "Hu Yi, don't be shameless. My sister-in-law? Which one? You were my second brother's woman, then my sixth brother's? Psh!"
"Hmph." The woman sneered and departed, followed by the man.
Teng Yi, unfazed, gave Ye Mo a thumbs-up. "Brother Ye, I'm lucky to have met you. Honestly, I've never seen anyone endure a divine damnation like that. Amazing!"
