Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 932 - 408: Turning the Tide (Part 2)
Previously on Cultivation Starts from Farming...
Xu Ping's intrinsic life force and fundamental vitality far dwarfed cultivators of similar standing. His lifespan also extended an astounding four thousand years, a duration that eclipsed even that of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
A flurry of gray-white light emanated from Xu Ping’s fingertips.
The Silent Extinction Divine Light erupted repeatedly, unleashed without restraint, striking the oncoming waves of insect swarms with pinpoint accuracy. Wherever this ethereal light traversed, a cascade of destruction followed, and a dense carpet of deceased insects accumulated on the ground.
The beautiful woman’s countenance morphed from initial contempt and mockery to a state of gravity, and finally, to sheer disbelief and unease!
"Impossible!"
Her thoughts churned wildly."To employ such potent Silent Extinction Divine Techniques so frequently would severely deplete the lifespan of even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator."
"He, a mere Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator, should have already exhausted his lifespan and withered into a skeletal husk by this point!"
"Why... why does his aura remain so steadfast, his mana so plentiful, and his complexion show no hint of pallor?"
Despite her most determined efforts to unravel the mystery, she could not comprehend the extraordinary vitality Xu Ping possessed, nor his terrifying mastery over the Silent Extinction Divine Light.
This spectacle also left every ancient demon and Human Race cultivator who observed the battle’s progress in this sector in a state of profound shock.
The gray-white divine radiance acted as a celestial scythe, reaping the formidable black insects that proved insurmountable for even a Late-stage Cultivator.
"Not good!"
The beautiful woman’s delicate features contorted suddenly. She distinctly felt her own aura begin a noticeable decline as vast numbers of black worms were obliterated by the Power of Annihilation.
These unsettling black worms were creations of her ancient demon lineage, meticulously cultivated using their own Demon Essence and arcane rituals intertwined with their Divine Souls, making them intrinsically linked. Any harm befalling the swarm would inevitably result in a painful backlash for her!
Possessing extensive battle experience, Xu Ping instantly perceived the subtle shift in her aura, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
"So that's how it is!"
How could Xu Ping possibly let such a golden opportunity pass him by?
Without hesitation, he unleashed his mana at full capacity. The Silent Extinction Divine Light shot forth with ever-increasing velocity, decimating the incoming insect hordes and consequently accelerating the woman’s aura’s decline.
"Courting death!"
The beautiful woman finally succumbed to unbridled fury. For the first time, her eyes blazed with an intense, bone-chilling killing intent.
She had never fathomed that in this insignificant lower realm, the peculiar insects of the ancient demon clan would be so effectively countered by a Nascent Soul Cultivator, to the point of jeopardizing her own existence.
With a sudden wave of her hand, the remaining cloud of black worms, as if granted reprieve, buzzed and retreated, vanishing into her sleeve.
However, this tactical withdrawal came at a cost, visibly weakening the profound, unfathomable demonic might that emanated from her.
"Allow me to demonstrate the true power of the Holy Race to you, cultivators of the lower realm!" the beautiful woman declared with a cold snort.
Her Evil Qi surged, and with a flick of her jade-like hand, her Demon Essence coalesced into razor-sharp, pitch-black demonic claws that rent the air, or into arcane runes imbued with the power to erode the Divine Soul, converging upon Xu Ping from all directions.
The sheer ferocity of this onslaught far surpassed anything she had exhibited while commanding the swarm!
Xu Ping’s gaze turned grave, yet he refrained from rashly employing the Silent Extinction Divine Light once more. He understood perfectly that this woman was a genuine Divinity Transformation ancient demon inhabiting a new vessel. Her profound foundation and potent Demon Essence were beyond comprehension, and her capacity for recovery far exceeded that of his previous opponent.
Although slightly diminished by the backlash, the Silent Extinction Divine Light would not suffice to inflict critical injury upon her easily. If he were to continue expending his energy forcefully, the resultant losses might prove too substantial even for him to bear.
"Rise!"
Xu Ping executed a series of intricate hand seals, conjuring seventy-three resplendent magic swords. They formed a compact sword circle, adeptly withstanding the overwhelming barrage of demonic claws and runes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening explosions resounded without cessation. The light screen of the sword array vibrated violently, ripples spreading outward like shockwaves. Xu Ping’s body shuddered intensely, and a hint of paleness touched his face.
Were it not for his exceptionally robust physique, he would have sustained severe injuries by this juncture. Despite the sword array’s formidable design, facing the onslaught of a Divinity Transformation-level entity, it was thoroughly suppressed, and its defeat seemed only a matter of time.
As Xu Ping found himself in dire peril, contemplating the deployment of his Wood Spirit Avatar and Puppet Array.
"Cease your arrogance!"
From the other side of the chaotic battlefield, a world-shaking roar erupted from Yun Weifeng! It seemed that Yun Weifeng, who had been continuously engaged by the young ancient demon, had finally seized an opening. He abruptly pushed his opponent back, swiftly forming a complex, ancient hand seal with both hands. A drop of blood, as red as a precious gemstone and exuding an indescribably immense pressure, suddenly materialized on his forehead! "Invoke the Ancestor... and the Supreme Treasure!" "Buzz!" That single drop of essence blood blazed fiercely. A terrifying aura, far surpassing the Nascent Soul stage and brushing against the edge of Divinity Transformation, descended instantly. Within the void, a small cauldron, no more than a foot tall and forged from dark gold, its design exuding an incomparable antiquity, materialized from nowhere. Innumerable mysterious runes were etched upon the miniature cauldron, illuminating one by one and emanating a supreme authority that could suppress the heavens and refine all things. "Suppress!" Yun Weifeng's face instantly grew ashen, his aura visibly waning. It was clear that wielding this treasure imposed an immense burden, even draining his Primordial Qi. Yet, his eyes, sharp as a Heavenly Sword, pointed with fierce intensity towards the young ancient demon with whom he had been locked in combat! The dark golden small cauldron quivered slightly. Disregarding the constraints of space, it instantly appeared directly above the young ancient demon's head. With its mouth facing downwards, a cascade of chaotic divine light poured down like the Milky Way descending from the nine heavens, completely engulfing him! "What?!" For the first time, the previously cold and arrogant expression of the young ancient demon contorted with panic and terror. He bellowed in rage, unleashing all his Demon Essence without restraint, transforming it into layer upon layer of pitch-black demonic shields in a desperate attempt to resist, all while retreating with extreme speed!
