Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

At this moment, Feng Shichang was completely enraged, his clothes somewhat tattered, evidently from the earlier battle. He looked at Lin Chen coldly and said:

"You little brat, I really underestimated you. You are indeed no ordinary character!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen merely smiled faintly and said:

"But you're the opposite, you really disappoint me!"

After such a long fight, Lin Chen had a general understanding of Feng Shichang's combat strength.

Lin Chen's cultivation level was at the peak of the fourth level of Divinity Transformation, but compared to others at this level, he was much stronger.

In the realm of the gods, cultivation is mainly the process of converting the inner energy into divine energy during the Divinity Transformation stage. As the quantity of divine energy within increases, the internal energy correspondingly decreases until fully converted, raising combat power to a new level.

Under normal circumstances, a Martial Artist with slightly better talent achieves full conversion by the sixth level of Divinity Transformation. Subsequent stages involve consolidating and refining divine energy, making it purer and enhancing combat power.

This principle is like forging metal. An ordinary piece of iron may easily break, but tempered steel is much harder to destroy, and if forged into a weapon, it becomes formidable.

Divine energy cultivation follows this principle; initially, its power doesn't surpass internal energy greatly, but as it is compressed and refined over time, purity increases, enhancing a Martial Artist's strength.

Normally, this process starts in the late stages of Divinity Transformation, around the sixth level, but Lin Chen, with Xiao Lian's help, began this process early!

Arguably, besides Lin Chen, no one else in this world could achieve this.

Feng Shichang, with a sixth-level Divinity Transformation cultivation, had much more divine energy than Lin Chen. Naturally, defeating a fourth-level Martial Artist would be simple. But Lin Chen was different.

Ever since Lin Chen started refining divine energy, Xiao Lian, within his Dantian, used her mystical devouring power, not only accelerating the refining process but also compressing and refining the divine energy, making it much stronger than those at the same level.

Moreover, Feng Shichang's talent was average; although his level was high, his divine energy refining was far inferior to Lin Chen's. Despite having a large quantity, his purity couldn't match Lin Chen's. This rapidly closed the substantial strength gap between the two, making Lin Chen's handling of the situation easier.

During the fight, he was at a disadvantage, but neither had used any divine techniques; it was a contest of physical strength. Feng Shichang originally thought Lin Chen would soon lose his combat strength when his divine energy ran out. Yet, Lin Chen not only showed no fatigue but fought with increasing vigor, secretly astonishing Feng Shichang.

However, this only fueled his inner fury, especially that last moment when Lin Chen, using his powerful Divine Sense, seized on a small flaw of Feng Shichang's, causing him a slight setback.

Feng Shichang gazed coldly at Lin Chen and said:

"Lin Chen, your battle experience is indeed rich, and your reactions swift. Even among my Sunlight Sect's outer sect elite disciples, you would stand out! You truly are a genius, but—"

Feng Shichang's tone shifted, his malevolent gaze fixed on Lin Chen as he said quietly:

"All geniuses who don't grow up remain wastes! I've yet to slay a genius like you!"

With that, the aura around Feng Shichang surged again.

Seeing this, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, snorting:

"Many have wanted to kill me, but they've all gone to hell! Brace yourself!"

Lin Chen could clearly feel Feng Shichang's own intent to kill surging. As the enemy sought his life, Lin Chen showed no mercy, responding with pointed words and refusing to yield an inch.

Feng Shichang merely smiled slightly in response, though his smile was laced with clear murderous intent.

With a motion of his palm, a pitch-black staff appeared in his hand.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself:

"Hmm? Using a staff is rare!"

A staff, straight and direct, wields immense power in its sweeps and swings. Mastering it is difficult; Feng Shichang's use of one was unexpected.

Instantly, Feng Shichang, looking at Lin Chen, swung the staff, conjuring a flurry of shadows, divine energy surging straight at Lin Chen.

"Die!"

He raised the staff high overhead, aiming straight for Lin Chen's head, eyes wide and staring directly at him.

Seeing this, Lin Chen frowned, for Feng Shichang was now using his full strength. Even from a distance, Lin Chen could sense the massive force behind the staff, and if hit, he feared even the lightest injury would mean days bedridden.

Lin Chen flipped his hand, and the Tianyan Ancient Sword appeared. Sword Qi erupted, forming a dark-golden halo around it, as he horizontally slashed at Feng Shichang's black staff.

"Clang!"

Upon contact, sparks flew, and Lin Chen felt a powerful force from the palm, pushing him down slightly.

Seeing Lin Chen blocking his attack, Feng Shichang snorted coldly and swung the staff again, attacking like a fierce god.

Not daring to be careless, Lin Chen immediately retreated; Feng Shichang pressed on, continually attacking. Though initially, Lin Chen was caught off guard, he soon managed to meet Feng Shichang's onslaught, transitioning from struggling defense to capable counter attacks.

The two clashed repeatedly, black staff and golden Sword Qi clashing all around, affecting nearby trees and cracking the ground with numerous fissures.

"Boom!"

Feng Shichang's staff, swirled with divine energy, slammed heavily against Lin Chen's Tianyan Ancient Sword, forcing Lin Chen back until he crashed against a large tree.

At that moment, Feng Shichang suddenly halted his onslaught, rising to stand in mid-air, expressionless as he gazed at Lin Chen, his eyes burning like flames.
