The cauldron filling state repairing the formation also stopped, he knew he didn’t need to do it anymore. The spirit beasts were like clueless flies trying to ram outside. Plus, with the mountains of spirit beasts the black lightning swords killed, Pei Hai City was very safe now.

Qi Ziyu wasn’t even able to talk now. He watched in a daze as Ye Mo sprayed out lightning sword rain. After a long while, he woke up and said to the dazed cultivator next to him, “Quick, go tell Song Yangzhu and Su Jingwen from Mo Yue that master Ye is back!”

Qi Ziyu breathed easily. “Luckily I didn’t make a mistake before.”

The spirit beasts were in pandemonium, they had no interest in attacking the city at all, they all just wanted to run outside.

However, the area was trapped by Ye Mo’s trap formation and those spirit beast were all blocked.

Ye Mo rained down lightning swords without mercy. Eventually, he seemed to be in the same situation as when he killed Metal Spine Crocodiles in the herb valley. He had completely forgotten he was killing spirit beasts.

As his Lightning Sword rained down faster and faster, he even closed his eyes as though he was communicating with the world around him. This time, Ye Mo indeed had another enlightenment. He felt his Lightning Sword reached a certain level – if he went beyond this level, his Lightning Sword would be in great completion and its power would far suprass initial completion.

Ye Mo seemed like a machine raining down lightning swords nonstop.

At this time, the two disaster transformation state beast cultivators reacted. They knew that if this continued, all the spirit beasts would be dead. They couldn’t care about fighting Ji Ling and Tang Mengrao anymore. They charged at Ye Mo together.

But how could Ji Ling and Tang Mengrao let the two do as they wished? They stopped the two beast cultivators.

The rest of the cauldron filling state beast cultivators and level nine spirit beasts also felt Ye Mo’s threat and wanted to stop him.

But how could Meng Hanan let that happen? She slaughtered them mercilessly.

A few hours later, everyone was watching the direction of the endless lightning sword rain and the countless mourning spirit beasts.

“Stop, we’ll leave Pei Hai City, stop…” the two disaster transformation state middle stage called out worriedly.

But Ye Mo couldn’t hear them anymore, he had sunk into a peculiar state, he felt the other type of lightning sword’s power, lightning state.

Ye Mo had never heard of nor seen this state but he felt it now. He had a feeling that if he completely mastered this state, his lightning sword would be able to do whatever he wanted. He would be able to control the opponent’s weakness, using the least effort to reach maximum effect.

He also began to realize the meaning of will state. Will state meant two states, the first state was will. It was like his Illusion Cloud Exert Will Strike, he would control his sword ray with his will to bind someone’s movements.

Will was very hard to reach, but if you understood it then you did, it was impossible to teach.

Ye Mo thought will state was just will, but now he realized state and will were different. Will was an understanding and control of self, state was understanding and controlling your opponent’s weakness. If he completely understood state, then he could casually use his magic and sword techniques to attack the opponent’s weakness.

One a magic’s will state reached a very high level, he could easily counter an opponent’s lethal blow and win. It was a great help in fighting people above your level.

As Lightning Sword rained down, Ye Mo’s understanding of state grew. Eventually, he easily threw down Lightning Sword casually and large areas of spirit beasts were harvested. He didn’t even need to scan with spirit sense to know which position to attack.

The two disaster transformation state cultivators grew more and more desperate, one of them was hacked into a bloody mist by Ji Ling who got more and more used to his body. Seeing this, the other disaster transformation state beast cultivator knew that this was going to sever the spirit beasts’ foundation.

Despite knowing the severity of the situation, there was nothing he could do. he could only howl and send a messenger flying sword before fleeing.

Tang Mengrao was a disaster transformation state tertiary stage cultivator after all, when this beast cultivator wanted to flee, she found his weakness and sliced off his head. However, his essence spirit fled away.

Now, there was only Ye Mo fighting and countless spirit beasts that ran around in a frenzy. No one could go help him as the Lightning Sword would also kill the cultivators who went near it.

But no cultivator worried as they all knew the beast tide was over.

Ye Mo annihilated spirit beasts so fast, but there were just too many spirit beast, he still hadn’t even killed 10% yet.

Luckily, the high level spirit beasts were killed. Teng and Bian Fengta and them also helped to kill these low level spirit beast, but they weren’t nearly as fast as Ye Mo.

…

Broken Leaf City was much more prosperous than Pei Hai City. It’s defense formations were also much higher level. It was a level nine formation.

But now, they also faced countless spirit beasts. The spirit beasts attacking here were much stronger than the ones attacking Pei Hai City. There were three disaster transformation state beast cultivators, one disaster transformation state tertiary stage.

Although there were much more high level cultivators here than Pei Hai City, the situation was worse than that of Pei Hai City. If it wasn’t for a level nine defense formation, disaster transformation state level nine Shan Di, and a level eight formation grand master, the city would’ve long been destroyed.

At the same time, on an island in the Heartless Sea, a red haired beast cultivator was standing on a coral looking at the direction of Broken Leaf City. It was the nearest island to the city.

There was a female cultivator behind him and she seemed very gentle.

The beast cultivator turned around wanting to say something to the female cultivator, but suddenly a red flying sword flew over.

The beast cultivator caught it and took out a jade slip. He looked at it casually and suddenly his face changed drastically. He immediately charged up into the sky and flew towards the continent.

The female cultivator saw that the beast cultivator flew towards North Far State and her face was also shocked.

As soon as he rose into the air, a grey figure stopped him. An old man stood in mid-air.

“Kong Ye, is there a point in stopping me? Even if I don’t go to Broken Leaf City, it will fall in two months. You have a chance to reach higher states, why trouble yourself with such things?” the red haired beast cultivator asked calmly.

Kong Ye said calmly, “As long as the city hasn’t fallen for one day, then I can’t let you go. You also had an agreement with North Far State, truth realisation states must not be involved in the beast tide. But now, why are you going to the North Far State’s land?”

The beast cultivator said coldly, “That agreement was many years ago. Now there’re no cultivation resources at the border of the Heartless Sea. The place where North Far State beast cultivators stay are also becoming arid in spirit chi. After countless years, only I’ve reached truth realisation state and I’m only a truth realisation state primary stage. If this continues, there will no longer be a place for beast cultivators in the North Far State. I don’t ask for much, I just want human cultivators to share equally with beast cultivator the spirit chi arid places in North Far State.”

Kong Ye said calmly, “Anywhere in North Far State is arid in spirit chi, if you want a place with good spirit chi, then you can go to West Store State, that’s cultivation heaven. Split North Far State equally? Chi Xie, I believe you know how West Store State became beast cultivator land. It’s because they split land with spirit beasts, and now the human cultivators are living on the outskirts.”

Chi Jie said coldly, “West Store State? Kong Ye, you really can imagine! Do you think we can cross the Heartless Sea to West Store state with our power? Do you want us to die? Plus, is the West Store State a place that spirit beasts can go to? West Store State becoming spirit beast land was countless years ago. Now, even spirit beasts don’t dare to venture into the depth of West Store State.”

Kong Ye said calmly, “If I could stop you for 100 years, I can stop you for 1000 years. As for Broken Leaf City, as long as you don’t go, then even if it falls it’s fate.”

The red hair beast cultivator was desperate, he suddenly looked at Kong Ye and said, “Kong ye, I’m not going to Broken Leaf City, I have something else to do. Can you move aside?”
