Chapter 315: A Fist Shatters Stone, A Divine Weapon Sees Daylight Again
Boom!
After a dull thud, Lu Ce placed the weapon on the ground with one hand, tendrils of smoke still curling in the air.
In the path where Sun had been sent flying, the scorching heat had created shockwaves in the air, like a rocket passing through.
Lu Ce stood leaning on the weapon and the massive boulder attached to it, resembling a titan of strength.
Previously, he had wielded it with both hands, swinging it with his entire body's force—but now, one hand sufficed.
With this single strike, the world fell silent!
On the live broadcast watched by millions of game spectators, not a single word was uttered for a full second.
Even the world outside seemed to have plunged into deathly stillness.
Nearly everyone wore stunned expressions as they watched the godlike figure on screen.
Just... what kind of power was this?Having consumed countless entertainment works, people were no strangers to last-minute power-ups in battle.
But others broke through a single realm mid-fight.
Meanwhile, this guy seemed to have activated cheat codes! The gap from before was just too vast.
[Comment: Am I... seeing things? Am I about to die and hallucinating?]
[Comment: How can someone explode with power like this? Was he hiding his strength all along? How else can this be explained?!]
Even the "Princess," who had been busy absorbing energy to restore her divine power, twitched her eyelids.
That earlier strike—good thing she had reflexively dodged again.
Sun's trajectory had been aimed straight at her!
Under normal circumstances, that would have been a direct hit from the most terrifying artillery shell imaginable.
Though reluctant to admit it... in her current unprepared state, taking that blow head-on might have been disastrous.
"It's nothing... this level of power means little before a true god..."
She consoled herself inwardly—though technically correct, the thought reeked of desperate self-reassurance.
Lu Ce planted one foot on the fractured boulder, gazing into the distance as he called out clearly:
"Dead yet?"
After a long pause, a distant roar echoed from the mountains in response.
Sun staggered to his feet—he had been smashed deep into the mountainside, his body carving out an artificial cavern.
He stared in shock at his own body. His fluid flame armor, which should have been near-indestructible, was now extensively damaged!
The energy behind that strike had far exceeded his expectations—was that fucking ballistic missile?
If not for his quick reflexes, channeling all of his Chosen of Desire's divine power into defense...
He spat out a mouthful of blood-tinged saliva, his body swaying slightly.
Downing a high-grade potion, his expression twisted into a vicious grin.
"This... might be crossing the line a bit."
He couldn't shake the feeling that this opponent's strength was approaching the level where he could dominate humanity outright.
"Keh... good! Excellent! This makes it even better!"
Eyes blazing with madness, Sun's battle frenzy erupted anew.
Flames burst from his entire body, spreading violently!
From a distance, the mountain he'd been embedded in began spewing thick smoke—then erupted into towering flames!
He had just set an entire mountain ablaze!
The burning peak became an instant focal point, drawing terrified gazes from crowds below.
Then, a deafening draconic roar shook the air as a flaming dragon surged from the volcanic fury—its heat enough to melt steel—charging straight at Lu Ce once more!
In his battle-mad state, he seemed to have completely forgotten this was supposed to be a game.
Rare were the occasions when he encountered someone willing to clash head-on like this.
Yet, whether by coincidence or fate, the "Princess" stood directly in his charging path once again!
Her face darkened as she had no choice but to dodge—yet again.
She'd lost count of how many times she, a god, had been forced to evade mere mortal attacks. Worse, each interruption severely hampered her power recovery!
But after witnessing Lu Ce's earlier strike... she decided playing it safe might be wiser.
Modern humans truly had no manners...
The flaming dragon's massive form tore through the hazy energy field of the Chosen of Desire's sky as it charged.
Its fiery body became sheathed in pink energy!
Sun was recklessly absorbing and expending divine power—clearly intending to ram Lu Ce with all that borrowed might.
The "Princess": "......"
"Damned pest!"
She cursed under her breath but held back.
Engaging directly now without overwhelming advantage was too risky—who knew what other tricks these two might have?
This humiliation was unbearable!
She might just be the most pathetic deity in existence—albeit merely a fragment of one—but her pride still demanded recognition as divine!
Alas, reality dictated compromise, even for love itself.
Lu Ce watched the approaching flaming dragon, his golden mask displaying a rare smirk of disdain.
Planting his feet firmly, he swung the massive boulder like a hammer once more!
The stone traced a full arc through the air before colliding with the dragon's head with devastating force!
The impact sent the dragon's head snapping backward, its entire body folding from the blow.
At the collision point, pink light erupted violently as divine power spilled forth recklessly.
What followed was a bizarre spectacle—Lu Ce and Sun, man and dragon, hammering away at each other like blacksmiths.
Yet the greatest loser in this exchange was none other than the Chosen of Desire's rapidly depleting divine reserves!
Chosen of Desire: #
"ENOUGH!"
Abandoning greed, she conjured a massive pink vortex in the sky, positioning herself at its center as power cascaded downward wildly.
No more holding back—even wasting energy was preferable to enduring this humiliation any longer!
Instantly, the heavens shifted—sun and moon swapped places as the celestial body above began drawing everything toward it.
Even the massive boulder in Lu Ce's hands trembled violently!
"Hm?"
Sensing danger, Lu Ce's arrogance flared even brighter under the divine pressure, his aura rivaling that of a god!
The Chosen of Desire gaped—why did this human's presence always escalate alongside hers? Just who was he?!
But greater shock awaited.
Lu Ce's golden mask blazed with radiant light as he suddenly punched the boulder with full force!
With an earth-shattering explosion—amplified by multiple divine energies—the boulder shattered.
Revealing the weapon hidden within: a golden polearm battle-axe!
"So it really was an axe..."
The Ying Camp Commander truly knew how to ride others' coattails.
