Withered Firmament IV

To break through the ninth layer, one first had to use one's body to withstand the gnawing of the Nine Twists Demon Worm. After letting it gnaw long enough, it would spit out substances to nourish the demon body.

And attain a higher level.

This layer could truly be called a narrow escape from death; the slightest inadequacy meant death and the dissipation of the Dao.

"No wonder Huang Yuan had been unable to take this step for so long... Heh!"

Lin Xin did not care. The Primal Battle Demon Art had always been suppressed by his attribute abilities, its might never fully displayed, but that did not mean it was weak.

As one of the supreme body-tempering demon arts, it was first-rate throughout the Central Prefecture. Aside from a few top-tier cultivation arts, this level reigned supreme.

How could such a demon art possibly be simple or weak?

Lin Xin had roughly estimated that the Primal Battle Demon Art could temper the body and enhance three aspects: strength, speed, and defense.

But it lacked somewhat in evasion and recovery, which could only be supplemented with other cultivation arts.

Thus, he had found many other first-rate demon arts within the sect, such as the Divine Wood Demon Art, Sun Exchange Art, and Life Emperor Art, to make up for its shortcomings in recovery.

But he was different. The innate physique brought about by his own attributes had clearly compensated for this aspect.

His recovery ability had even reached the point of near immortality.

"Once the Primal Battle Demon Art condenses a Saint Body, its power can expand severalfold in an instant, using one's own body tempering as a foundation. Before I have even successfully condensed a Saint Body, I can already withstand Saint Body attacks head-on."

Lin Xin's thoughts raced.
