Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Boom!

As Lin Chen formed hand seals to absorb the Spiritual Energy from the lake bottom, the entire lake began to boil.

The golden light exploded like boiling water.

The golden light in the lake instantly enveloped Lin Chen, with strands of golden qi pouring into his body.

At this moment, inside Lin Chen, the golden light was converging into the wildly spinning Five Elements Compass.

On the compass, the lights of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth kept flashing.

However, Lin Chen didn't feel well; as a large amount of golden qi surged into his body, his muscles and bones felt as if they were being scorched by flames.

Lin Chen secretly marveled, no wonder Hall Master Wang Chen stated that ordinary people couldn't resist such violent energy. If not for his previously fortified body, he might have already been roasted to ashes.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Chen summoned the water element within him, forming thin layers of ice to envelop his muscles and bones, while the light of life flowed through him, healing the damage from the scorching golden qi.

Inside Lin Chen, it was a tug-of-war. The golden qi melted the ice layers within, but soon new ice layers formed again.

With this cycle repeating, Lin Chen found absorbing the golden qi from the lake bottom wasn't as difficult as imagined.

Though protected by ice layers, the golden qi continued to erode Lin Chen's bones and muscles, yet he persevered.

It was like hellish cultivation, but as it persisted, his muscles and bones began to emit golden light under the erosion of the golden qi.

Meanwhile, in Lin Chen's Qi Sea, as strands of golden qi flowed in, it became more enriched, gradually expanding like a lakeside Qi Sea.

Feeling the changes inside, Lin Chen was suddenly overjoyed.

The hellish pain finally yielded rewards; Lin Chen sensed the cultivation speed at the lake bottom was ten times faster than in the Time Tower.

This place was indeed a cultivation paradise.

Unconsciously, Lin Chen started to love the lake bottom, deemed a devil's lair by many.

As he felt increasingly better, the pain from before gradually vanished, and Lin Chen devoured the surrounding golden qi like a black hole.

Yet, Lin Chen also sensed growing pressure as time continued; it seemed the array eye had self-protective measures to prevent excessive absorption of golden qi, driving him away with mounting pressure.

Since he came here, Lin Chen would not easily leave; despite the increasing pressure, he bit and persisted.

Lin Chen knew that the longer he stayed, the greater the pressure would be.

Though his body was strong, he could not endure indefinitely, thus he withheld nothing.

"Devouring Force!"

Lin Chen gritted his teeth as a black hole faintly appeared above him, endlessly devouring the golden qi into his body.

With the surging golden qi exponentially increasing, Lin Chen's body once again endured the scorching ordeal.

The hellish pain almost drove Lin Chen to death; his clothes were long incinerated, and his body was like a boiling furnace.

Yet his aura soared amidst the hellish cultivation.

At the lake bottom, golden light, pouring towards Lin Chen, formed a center point.

Lin Chen resembled a bronze man clad in golden armor, with pressure as heavy as a mountain bearing down on his frail frame.

Lin Chen's skin started to show traces of blood.

Lin Chen had already endured at the lake bottom for three days.

In these three days, Lin Chen felt mounting pressure like overlapping mountains, tormenting his mind.

It was near-madness; amidst tremendous pressure, Lin Chen couldn't fall into distraction, lest he be reduced to ashes.

Lin Chen deeply realized how terrifying the lake's center was; even with abundant methods, he was so tragically tormented. An ordinary Martial Artist would last no time here.

However, Lin Chen gained immensely in these three days; under the golden qi's erosion, his muscles and bone were refined anew, their strength and flexibility incomparable to before.

More delightfully, his cultivation unknowingly ascended to the high level of the Void God Realm; outside, it would take Lin Chen at least a year based on his talent, yet here, he achieved what others might in decades or a lifetime, in just three days.

Moreover, an additional gleaming speck the size of a pea had mysteriously appeared in the center of the Five Elements Compass.

This speck spun slowly with the compass.

Xiao Shuai informed him this was the Primordial Spirit, a sign Lin Chen was on the verge of reaching the True God Realm.

Upon entering the True God Realm, he could resonate with the world, forge True Yuan, and attain an indestructible divine body.

But Lin Chen's Primordial Spirit was only forming, still in incubation; once it evolved, Lin Chen would step into the ranks of True God Realm experts.

Time trickled by, with Lin Chen having spent six days at the lake bottom.

At Human Hall's lakeside, resting disciples kept glancing towards the lake's depths amid cultivation.

Six days had passed, yet Lin Chen hadn't emerged.

Many gazes changed from expectation to regret or even mockery.

"Such a pity, our Human Hall's rare genius has fallen."

"Indeed, heard this happened over a decade ago."

"Deserved! Just not knowing fear, he asked for death."

Meanwhile, atop a lake platform, Wang Chen and Xu Kai tightly watched the lake's depths, their expressions grave.

"Looks like that kid won't come out!" Xu Kai sighed.

"Enduring for three days, he might have still made it out, but six days... he probably died there." Wang Chen sighed.

"Stubborn fool, heeding no advice." Xu Kai stomped angrily.

Then, a silhouette suddenly landed on the platform.

Both promptly bowed in greeting: "Sect Master!"

Yu Yuntian nodded at them, gaze also seeking the lake's depths.

"How is it?" Yu Yuntian asked.

"Lin Chen likely perished at the bottom," Wang Chen sighed.

Yu Yuntian shook his head: "Not necessarily; I still sense his presence deep below."

"What?" Wang Chen and Xu Kai exclaimed in astonishment.
