Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 788 - 360: Consummation of the Withering-Nourishing Annihilation Divine Light; Waterlake Rat Breaks Through to Fourth Rank Middle Grade (2)

Chapter 788: Chapter 360: Consummation of the Withering-Nourishing Annihilation Divine Light; Waterlake Rat Breaks Through to Fourth Rank Middle Grade (2)

His face was as calm as an ancient well, but beneath his tightly closed eyes, two gray-white rays of light vaguely flowed incessantly within his eye sockets.

His breathing was long and deep, and every inhale and exhale caused intense disturbance in the surrounding Spiritual Qi, as if the entire secret chamber was rhythmically moving with him.

Suddenly, Xu Ping abruptly opened his eyes, and the gray light flickering in those eyes was as frightening as the gaze of death.

He slowly raised his right hand, his fingers held together like a sword, and at his fingertips began to gather a cluster of gray-white light.

This radiance seemed weak, but the terrifying power contained within it made the entire secret chamber tremble.

Shih—

A beam of gray-white divine light, more solid and terrifying than before, shot out silently and swiftly like lightning.

This divine light appeared thin as a needle, but the annihilating power contained within was enough to make any creature tremble in fear.

Wherever the divine light passed, the stone wall that was originally as hard as iron instantly lost all vitality and vigor.

Not only that, but a strange corrosive phenomenon began to appear on the stone wall’s surface and the restrictions on the wall, as if being devoured crazily by some invisible force.

"Withering-Annihilation Divine Light...it’s achieved Great Success!"

Seeing this astonishing scene, a trace of satisfaction appeared on Xu Ping’s lips.

After years of painstaking research and countless repeated practices, he had finally cultivated the Withering-Annihilation Divine Light to the Great Success Realm.

This breakthrough was not merely a quantitative accumulation, but a qualitative leap. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The power of the Great Success Realm’s Withering-Annihilation Divine Light was immeasurably stronger than during its Minor Achievement stage.

What pleasantly surprised Xu Ping even more was that he discovered the Withering-Annihilation Divine Light had awakened an extremely special ability after breaking through to the Great Success Realm—Annihilation Reinforcement.

When the divine light annihilates any creature, the life essence of the annihilated doesn’t completely dissipate; a portion is fed back into Xu Ping’s body to replenish the consumption during the use of divine techniques.

Discovering this made Xu Ping overjoyed, the excitement in his heart indescribable.

It’s worth noting that although the Withering-Annihilation Divine Light’s power was terrifying, its consumption was equally huge.

Each casting consumed large amounts of Primordial Qi and lifespan, even for a cultivator like Xu Ping with a long lifespan, he dared not squander recklessly.

But now, with this Annihilation Reinforcement ability, the situation became completely different.

This meant he could replenish his consumption by killing enemies, forming a cycle beneficial to him.

The stronger the enemy, the richer the life essence contained within, and the more significant the reinforcement effect, thereby enhancing his sustainability.

To verify this hypothesis, Xu Ping took out a Third-rank Upper Grade Jade Spirit Fruit from his Storage Ring.

Xu Ping again held his fingers together like a sword, and a beam of gray-white divine light accurately shot towards this Spirit Fruit.

In an instant, the Spirit Fruit was hit by the divine light, its originally lush green skin turning withered and shriveled, and all contained life essence was completely annihilated by the divine light.

In merely a blink of eye, the valuable Spirit Fruit turned into a heap of worthless ashes.

Simultaneously, Xu Ping clearly felt a burst of pure life essence rising from the ashes, nourishing his dantian and meridians like sweet dew.

Though the amount of essence wasn’t much, it effectively replenished the consumption from his previous use of divine techniques.

"Indeed so, the effect is even better than expected!" Xu Ping’s smile grew even more radiant.

This was just a third-rank Spirit Fruit, with limited life essence contained.

If it were a Nascent Soul Cultivator or Fourth Rank Demon Beast of powerful existence, the reinforcement effect should be more significant.

This undoubtedly greatly enhances the sustainability and practical value of the Withering-Annihilation Divine Light.

Xu Ping can now unleash this terrifying divine technique with greater confidence and boldness.

"I wonder what wondrous changes will occur when the Withering-Annihilation Divine Light reaches Perfection!" Xu Ping couldn’t help feeling full of anticipation.

But cultivating the Withering-Annihilation Divine Light to Perfection, the time consumed, will surely not be short.

After all, bringing it to the Great Success level took more than twenty years.

Cultivating to Perfection will take even longer.

However, Xu Ping was also very patient about this.

Having a long lifespan is his greatest confidence and advantage.

Time has never been a problem for him.

...

Time slipped away like a fleeting horse, and another two years quietly passed.

During these two years, the war throughout the Nanchuan Realm became increasingly intense.

The assault teams from the Wind Origin Realm appeared ghost-like everywhere, countless forces turned to dust under their attacks.

Although the cultivators of the Nanchuan Realm were struggling to resist under the unified command of the Heaven-Suppressing Sect, the overall situation remained far from optimistic.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons remained relatively peaceful during these two years; aside from occasionally providing resources and puppets to the Heaven-Suppressing Sect, they were not directly attacked.

This allowed the disciples in the valley to breathe a sigh of relief.

On this day, in the underground cave of Cyan Cloud Peak, the Water Lake Rat finally completed the last preparations.

Its aura had reached the absolute peak of Fourth Rank Lower Grade, the demonic power within it vast as an ocean, and the True Dragon Bloodline was activated to an unprecedented degree.

"It’s time." Xu Ping gazed at the Water Lake Rat, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Then he quietly retreated to the corner of the secret chamber, beginning to protect the Water Lake Rat.

Buzz!

In an instant, heaven and earth changed color!

Countless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed to respond to some mysterious summon, rushing madly from all directions, forming a massive Spiritual Qi vortex above Cyan Cloud Peak.
