Then, she saw Ye Mo burn his way over. The purple sun above his head shone out countless purple rays. The rays were like fire and turned billions of Spirit Devouring Bugs to dust. Du Xiuying’s spirit sense followed Ye Mo and soon found that the purple sun increased to a bigger range.
It increased to nearly 100 kilometers and Ye Mo’s face went from pale to red instead. Du Xiuying’s heart clenched, she knew that Ye Mo was heavily injured. Soon, she realized why Ye Mo expanded the sun, it was because some of them started to run.
However, Ye Mo was getting faster and faster and his sun getting hotter and hotter. In less than half an hour, the heaven filling Spirit Devouring Bugs loosened up and disappeared.
When Ye Mo circulated the thousand kilometers around Ice Sword Sect and finally came before Blue Moon, he couldn’t help falling to the ground.
The purple sun shrunk and landed before falling onto Ye Mo’s head and disappearing. There were only about a few thousand Spirit Devouring Bugs above in the sky. This wasn’t enough to threaten a sect, a slightly higher powered cultivator would be enough to kill these Spirit Devouring Bugs.
Du Xiuying quickly controlled Blue Moon to land next to Ye Mo and help protect him.
She was very worried, she knew that no one would come harm Ye Mo now but she was still worried. She had seen what Ye Mo did and knew what he meant to South Peace State.
Without Ye Mo, just those sand soul beasts were enough to flip South Peace State over.
Sometimes, the more one worried about something the more it would happen. Although there were only about a few thousand bugs left and theoretically they should’ve flew off, they didn’t. Instead, they gathered together.
Just when Du Xiuying didn’t know what was going on she heard a sharp shriek. This time, she saw what it was. It was a Spirit Devouring Bug, but it was so much bigger than the rest.
It was completely red and ten times the size of the rest. Then, it charged at Ye Mo. Du Xiuying was shook and quickly released her flying sword, hacking at the bug.
She thought with her hollow spirit state middle stage power, she could easily kill a bug.
But the clash of metal sounded and Du Xiuying’s heart sunk, her flying sword not only didn’t kill the bug but was instead knocked flying away. The bug ignored her and instead charged rapidly at Ye Mo as though it wouldn’t stop unless it killed Ye Mo.
The few thousand bugs also followed this huge Spirit Devouring Bug.
She quickly set up a s.h.i.+eld but at this moment, she heard another shriek. A figure her spirit sense didn’t even notice charged at Ye Mo.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Devouring Bugs quickly crippled hearing this sound.
However, that black figure didn’t stop there, it charged up fast like lightning. Everywhere it went, Spirit Devouring Bugs disappeared.
Only now did Du Xiuying see clearly what it was, it seemed to be pea sized. How did it eat so many bugs that were much larger than it?
Finally, this angered the largest bug, it charged at the black figure without fear while the black figure did the same.
The two figures clashed together creating the sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng. Then Du Xiuying heard a crunching sound.
But at this moment, Ye Mo got up and Du Xiuying immediately came up to him. “Are you okay?”
Ye Mo smiled. “Thanks for protecting me, I’ve recovered a lot.”
That round of Heaven Flame Nine Suns was too exhausting. Although it was impossible to completely recover this quickly, Ye Mo recovered 30% of his power.
Du Xiuying’s face went red, she didn’t help at all. She couldn’t even beat a bug.
But Ye Mo didn’t say anything, he yelled at the black figure, “Don’t eat in such a disgusting way, hurry up!”
Then, Du Xiuying realized that the small pea-sized thing had already eaten the big Spirit Devouring Bug.
Then, the black bug shot in a line and disappeared into Ye Mo’s hand.
After a while, Du Xiuying asked in a daze, “Brother Ye, that’s your bug? You keep bugs?”
She suddenly s.h.i.+vered and imagined a scene where countless of these black bugs circulated Ye Mo and they were all kept by Ye Mo.
Ye Mo nodded. “Yes, this is my bug. The Spirit Devouring Bug before didn’t fear Shadowless because it was possessed. It’s probably a cultivator who had enmity with me, so it’s instinct was to charge at me. Otherwise, all those Spirit Devouring Bugs would’ve escaped.”
Ye Mo looked at the bell in confusion. “Why doesn’t the old monk come out, is he planning to celebrate new year inside?”
Then, Ye Mo walked over at the ditched bell.
Ye Mo reached out his cultivation essence giant hand and opened the bell and found Qian Wei was more heavily injured than him. His face was pale like paper, the rest of the people were also heavily depleted in spirit sense and cultivation essence.
There were about 100 or so people inside. Other than seven monks, the rest were probably Ice Sword Sect cultivators. However, this sect had mostly female cultivator.
Ye Mo realized that they used all their spirit sense and cultivation essence to activate the bell that they didn’t even have the power left to open it.
This old monk had quite the luck. If he was close to the monk, Ye Mo would’ve joked already.
“Thank you city lord Ye. I’m ashamed, I thought I would be able to stop the Spirit Devouring Bugs, but they were endless. I wasn’t even able to survive for a day, we completely relied on the treasure of the Jin Gang Temple to survive. City lord Ye’s power is out of the world. Reaching immortal state, I’m really amazed.” Qian Wei sighed.
Ye Mo knew that the old monk was sighing because the bell was ruined and also because they didn’t have someone like him in the temple.
Some of the Ice Sword Sect members who recovered their senses came over to thank Ye Mo. They were covered by the bell but their spirit sense could scan outside.
No one could stay calm at the sight of Ye Mo using Heaven Flame Nine Suns to instantly annihilate countless bugs. Now, no one doubted that Ye Mo killed 11 truth realisation state cultivators in a row. Ye Mo himself could count for a few hundred truth realisation states. Even if a few hundred truth realisation states came, they might not be able to annihilate so many Spirit Devouring Bugs.
Ye Mo took out recovery pills and let Du Xiuying spread them out.
When Qian Wei recovered a little he asked him, “Sect leader Qian Wei, why are there only this number of cultivators in the Ice Sword Sect? Were the rest devoured by the bugs?”
Qian Wei sighed. “Many wanted to use earth mobility to leave, but none escaped.”
“I made the promise before and yet today I accomplished nothing and I still needed city lord Ye to save me, I’m really…” Qian Wei was a compet.i.tive person as a 9-star sect’s head monk. However, he felt a little disappointed that the difference between them was this huge.
Ye Mo had a great impression of this monk, he shook his head and said, “Sect leader Qian Wei, you’ve helped a lot. If it wasn’t for you being here, I’m afraid more sects would have been annihilated.”
