Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1078: Chapter 1079: Cultivating the Withering Technique

Lin Chen slowly advanced toward the pitch-black Stele, and with each step, he found the devouring power growing stronger.

On the five-element wheel, streams of green light continuously surged into various parts of Lin Chen’s body, repairing the green light shield damaged by the devouring force.

The devouring power permeating the air relentlessly eroded the green light shield around Lin Chen’s body, creating cracks repeatedly, but each time they shattered, a green light would fill the breach.

However, the closer he got to the Stele, the more cracks appeared in the green light shield, and finally, the shield shattered in a loud crash.

At this moment, the devouring power pounced on Lin Chen’s body like it had found food, crazily invading every part.

In just a moment, the clothes on Lin Chen’s body had turned into nothingness.

Lin Chen felt his vitality slowly draining away, and his originally yellow skin turned somewhat pale.

”Damn it!”

Lin Chen gritted his teeth, continuously channeling the light of life to repair the withered parts of his body, with destruction on one side and regeneration on the other, as the two forces fiercely battled within him.

Now, Lin Chen finally understood why no one could successfully cultivate this Withering Art.

Under such powerful devouring power, even if you are strong, without certain methods, you would certainly become a pile of bones by the time you reached the Stele.

Despite this, Lin Chen felt he was almost at his limit and could fall at any moment.

Lin Chen naturally knew the outcome of falling: losing all vitality and dying in this illusion.

No, I can’t just sit here and take it anymore, Lin Chen’s eyes focused, and streams of black energy surged within him.

This black energy was the devouring power from Zhao Xiaowen. After their bodies fused back then, Lin Chen also possessed this ability.

”Xiaowen, let’s fight together.” Feeling that familiar sensation, Lin Chen murmured to himself.

Waves of devouring power continuously surged through Lin Chen’s body, swallowing the mysterious force that devoured life force.

With the addition of this devouring power, the skin that had almost cracked due to erosion gradually healed.

”It works!” Lin Chen couldn’t help but curl up his lips into a smile.

”Thank you, Xiaowen!” Lin Chen thought to himself, feeling grateful.

If it weren’t for Xiaowen’s help with her devouring power, he would have likely met his end here this time.

At this moment, Flame Elder, who had just been observing Lin Chen’s movements, was stunned. He felt that Lin Chen had reached his limit and was about to pull him back from the illusion.

But to his surprise, Lin Chen suddenly regained his strength and moved faster toward the Stele.

”How is this possible!” Flame Elder’s eyes were slightly narrowed, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He had once fallen at the spot Lin Chen had just advanced past, losing an arm, but now Lin Chen had already crossed his former hurdle.

At this moment, the devouring power around Lin Chen was more intense, even colliding violently with the devouring power within his body.

Lin Chen felt as if his entire body was being torn apart, yet he gritted his teeth, maintaining his mind’s focus.

He understood that if he lost concentration even for a moment, the Stele’s devouring power would seize the opportunity, and he would instantly be devoured, leaving him a lifeless skeleton.

Inside Lin Chen, the black and green forces clashed, employing a deadly struggle with the gray aura constantly invading his body.

Once the gray aura entered Lin Chen’s body, the devouring power swarmed to it, causing it to be swallowed and transformed into energy which surged into Lin Chen’s Dantian.

However, as he got closer to the Stele, the entry of the gray mist increased, continuously eroding Lin Chen’s life force, while the green life light took on the task of repairing Lin Chen’s wounded areas.

Despite being supported by the devouring power and the light of life, Lin Chen’s body was still scarred all over, and the intense pain made each step incredibly arduous.

”I can’t withdraw, I can’t withdraw.”

Lin Chen gritted his teeth, advancing step by step toward the black Stele.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Staggering yet determined, Lin Chen finally reached the Stele.

”Finally succeeded!” Lin Chen’s lips curled into a smile as he gently pressed his hand against the Stele.

In the next moment, Lin Chen felt a shock through his body as the inscriptions on the Stele seemed to come alive, madly flooding into his mind.

”Is this the Withering Art?”

As a torrent of information surged into Lin Chen’s mind, his face was filled with astonishment.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Chen suddenly noticed gray vines extending from the Stele along his arm, rushing into his body.

Instantly, his entire arm cracked open like a turtle’s web, with blood gushing out.

Flame Elder, sensing the changes in Lin Chen’s body, also became extremely serious.

”Is it still not possible?”

He sighed, gently placing his palm on Lin Chen’s body, intending to pull him out of the other dimensional space.

But what shocked him was that his spirit, upon entering Lin Chen’s body, instantly vanished without a trace.

”How is this possible!”

Flame Elder’s expression changed, a look of astonishment in his eyes.

This Withering Art was too domineering, actually trapping Lin Chen in that dimension.

Now, Flame Elder’s face also showed a hint of helplessness. He was currently powerless and could only rely on Lin Chen to save himself.

”Young man, this elder can no longer help you—it is up to you to endure.”

At this moment, streams of gray gas continuously flowed into Lin Chen’s body along the gray vines, even devouring power and life light were instantly swallowed by this gray mist.

Lin Chen’s gaze narrowed slightly; it seemed that to cultivate the Withering Art, he needed to conquer this Bone-Withering Gas with his strength!

With a thought, Lin Chen prompted the Withering Art he just realized, yet the Bone-Withering Gas seemed unruly, still rampaging inside him.

”Behave for me!” Lin Chen roared, the five-element wheel whirling intensely, and almost simultaneously, the five-color wheel of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth shone together.

Instantly, the five-colored light wheels formed into a massive five-colored net, spreading throughout Lin Chen’s body and enveloping all the invading gray gas.

The gray Bone-Withering Gas rapidly condensed, intertwining with Lin Chen’s black devouring power, forming a peculiar gray-black light mass in his Qi Sea.

Unexpectedly, he succeeded. What methods did this kid have to resist the Bone-Withering Gas’s devouring?

Seeing Lin Chen’s body slowly recovering, Flame Elder finally let out a sigh of relief.

Lin Chen now controlled the Bone-Withering Gas, so mastering the Withering Art was just a matter of time.

”It seems that this time, China’s martial arts is going to produce an extraordinary figure.” Flame Elder excitedly looked at the young man before him.
