Chapter 996: The Secret of the Fourth Tier Divine Power

A massive battle, extremely rare across the entire Continent of Gods, erupted around the imperial capital of the Eternal Night Empire!

Battle formations surged from multiple directions, striking the capital's walls.

Outside the battlefield, the Iron Horn Empire's army had been utterly annihilated!

Very few escaped—even the Iron Horn Holy Son failed to survive!

In the Heavenly Realm, the Iron Horn Divine Lord flew into a rage, yet had no recourse.

"Send Holy Spirits to investigate the Flame Lord—find out who this He Fangshensheng truly is, and what audacity he has to strike at my people!"

The Iron Horn Divine Lord said grimly.

"Wait—have them investigate in secret. Don't make too much noise."

The Iron Horn Divine Lord added another remark.

The reactions of Lord Tianfeng and the Dragon Divine Lord gave the Iron Horn Divine Lord some pause.

Vast numbers of Holy Spirits were dispatched by the Iron Horn Divine System.

"You will no longer participate in the war against the Empress of the Eternal Night Empire. We gain nothing from her realm anymore; there's no point wasting further strength on the Continent of Gods."

After speaking these words to the Seven Deities of the Iron Horn Divine System, the Iron Horn Divine Lord departed from his divine realm.

Though he was forced to abandon the war against the Eternal Night Empire on the Continent of Gods, he had not abandoned his pursuit of the Eternal Night Goddess.

"The Eternal Night Goddess has reached her final step. Many Divine Lords will surely lose patience. The Flame Lord is likely also a peak of the Third Tier. I wonder—if this time, I'll meet you..."

The Iron Horn Divine Lord spoke with cold intent.

At this moment, the Flame Lord, whom the Iron Horn Divine Lord was fixated on, was within his own divine realm, probing the secrets of the Fourth Tier.

Lin Yan exchanged the vast quantity of high-grade divine stones acquired through trade directly for Fourth Tier divine power.

That is, 16th-tier divine power.

The divine power of the Fourth Tier was terrifyingly advanced.

The hallmark of a Third Tier peak Divine Lord breaking into the Fourth Tier was the condensation of one drop of Fourth Tier divine power.

After millennia or even tens of thousands of years of accumulation, such a Third Tier peak Divine Lord might condense all their divine power into only dozens or perhaps a hundred drops of Fourth Tier divine power.

Of course, condensing Fourth Tier divine power was merely a marker.

Creating rules and upgrading the divine core were the true essentials.

Without completing these two, it was difficult to condense Fourth Tier divine power at all!

"The faith energy contained in ten thousand high-grade divine stones can be exchanged for one drop of 16th-tier divine power."

Within his divine realm, Lin Yan murmured.

This was the latest ratio Lin Yan had established.

One high-grade divine stone equaled the faith energy of ten million people over one year—though this was calculated based on the income of other gods.

In Lin Yan's case, the faith energy contained in one high-grade divine stone was 36 million points.

Calculating according to Lin Yan's exchange ratio between faith energy and divine power:

One high-grade divine stone could be exchanged for 250 drops of the lowest-tier divine power.

Ten high-grade divine stones could be exchanged for 2,500 drops of the lowest-tier divine power.

One thousand high-grade divine stones could be exchanged for 250,000 drops of the lowest-tier divine power.

Ten thousand high-grade divine stones could be exchanged for 2.5 million drops of the lowest-tier divine power.

Ten drops of lowest-tier divine power could be exchanged for one drop of high-tier divine power.

Ten drops of high-tier divine power could be exchanged for one drop of even higher-tier divine power.

In Lin Yan's divine core, the distinction between low and high tiers was not separated by one level—he had no interest in figuring out the exact calculation.

In the end, Lin Yan found that exchanging for one drop of 16th-tier divine power required precisely the faith energy contained in ten thousand high-grade divine stones.

That is, in Lin Yan's system, one drop of 16th-tier Fourth Tier divine power equaled 2.5 million drops of the lowest-tier divine power!

In addition, Lin Yan had expended vast quantities of energy points.

"I wonder how it is for other gods?"

Lin Yan thought.

Other gods likely fared far worse than he did.

No wonder the Fourth Tier gods were so powerful!

Even by Lin Yan's own exchange ratio, the faith energy in ten thousand high-grade divine stones—2.5 million drops of lowest-tier divine power—was needed to obtain just one drop of 16th-tier divine power.

Other gods might require tens of thousands, even a hundred thousand high-grade divine stones, to condense a single drop of 16th-tier divine power.
