Chapter 321: Slaughter! "It's truly over"
The pink pillar of light connected heaven and earth, as if drawing power from beyond the heavens to nourish itself. The Extreme Path Battle-Axe whirled like a tempest, transforming into a golden tornado within the battlefield, relentlessly assaulting the pink luminous column.
Lu Ce's current state, combined with the power of the Broken Divine Weapon, had reached unprecedented heights. He didn't want to overthink anything - he only wanted to savor the battle! His sole desire was to cleave through everything before him with his axe, each strike causing violent tremors through the pink pillar.
The princess's face contorted grotesquely as she stared fixedly at this opponent before her, unable to tear her gaze away. Her vision contained nothing else now. With each successive axe blow coming her way, only one thought remained in her mind:
—This man must die!
This man must die!!
There was something strangely unsettling about him. To a true deity's standards, this human before her was still immature, yet that peculiar quality made her feel inexplicably wary of him regardless of actual power levels.
What deities enjoyed was watching humans struggle desperately yet remain helpless. But this one... she felt it better he die prematurely. Yet this very mindset made her completely fail to notice that within the ruins below, an overlooked fire dragon was slowly gathering strength.
The pink radiance surged increasingly violently as energy descended and concentrated into the "princess's" body, divine essence gradually radiating outward. The ugly grimace on her beautiful face gradually smoothed until it became expressionless as she regarded Lu Ce.
When power reaches a certain level, its primary manifestation is tranquility. The protective light pillar slowly dissipated just as Lu Ce's most powerful overhead axe strike descended from the skies.
CRACK!The tyrannical golden radiance forcibly penetrated the light pillar, emitting an ear-grinding sizzle. In the next instant, the pillar's protection shattered spectacularly! Even divine power wasn't indestructible against the Broken Divine Weapon's might.
But now, the "princess" no longer needed such protection. The Chosen of Lust's power in this realm had fully consolidated! Slowly raising her jade-like hand, now crystalline and translucent, she single-handedly caught the golden axe blade!
Golden and pink lights clashed and compressed against each other, their game-breaking power erupting violently and tearing spatial fissures throughout the surroundings.
"It's over," the Chosen of Lust stated calmly, none of her previous agitation remaining. Pushing against the axe with sudden force, an energy ring exploded outward from her body.
Lu Ce was sent flying backward by the violent shockwave, his hands desperately clinging to the axe handle, refusing to let go. Yet this impact inflicted his most severe injuries yet - the muscles in both arms split apart layer by layer!
With this final collision, the Chosen of Lust's aura became perfectly harmonized. As Lu Ce flew backward, a fiery dragon roared forth, charging toward the airborne "princess."
Yet against this seemingly ferocious attack, she didn't even glance sideways, casually swatting at it like shooing a fly.
"Hmph."
The sky-scorching flames instantly extinguished, the energy armor dissipating from the impact, revealing Sun's body midair before it shot downward in a straight line like a spear!
Through a series of explosions, it pierced through every floor of the palace before embedding into the lowest level. Had Lu Ce checked his Hourglass of Life, he'd have clearly seen Sun's remaining life force diminish to the barest thread, nearly depleted entirely!
The "princess" chuckled lightly, her expression showing peculiar satisfaction. This was right...
This was how it should be!
This was the familiar feeling of being a deity.
That sensation of controlling everything effortlessly, turning clouds and rain with a wave.
Just as she swatted Sun downward, her eyebrow twitched slightly as she revealed a disdainful expression. Almost simultaneously, she extended her other hand and flicked sharply before her eyes.
CLANG!~
With that clear metallic sound, Xie Antong in the distance immediately frowned, even showing signs of pain. She could clearly feel her All-Seeing Eye develop cracks! That was a legendary artifact!
"Why... so many flies..."
"You all... hmm?"
Just as the "princess" began speaking, she noticed something amiss again. Having dealt with the previous matters almost simultaneously, another figure appeared before her—Shui Zhongmeng.
After Sun's flames dissipated and the Scorching Sun's aura faded, he finally revealed himself. In Xie Antong's strategy, both the All-Seeing Eye's attack and Sun's suicidal charge served as diversions.
Even Lu Ce's earlier axe strike could be considered one!
Though she hadn't discussed this with Lu Ce.
For the "princess," she had first exerted force to repel that most troublesome opponent, then swatted aside one fly. Now facing this weakling who'd reached her face, she felt even more contempt.
This one was even weaker than the previous two...
Suppressing the palpitations in his heart—that soul-deep terror when facing a deity—Shui Zhongmeng placed his palm against her chest. Even at hair's breadth distance, the Chosen of Lust's divine power could have repelled him easily.
But she didn't!
Her divine arrogance exceeded all limits.
If she could block Lu Ce's axe strike head-on, what couldn't she handle here? Thus, the Soul-Ejecting Palm made contact.
BANG!
In that split second, the princess's body instantly split in two! Or rather, a pink luminous silhouette of the princess appeared behind her physical form! The princess's eyes cleared instantly, filled with confusion as she looked at the world before her.
Chosen of Lust: !!!
After a brief moment of shock, sudden terror gripped her heart. She hadn't suffered any damage—it was completely painless—but she had been forcibly separated from that physical vessel, her terrifying divine power scattering between heaven and earth.
No!
The pink silhouette lunged forward desperately, attempting to re-enter the princess's body. But in the next instant, a golden axe cleaved through the skies, precisely striking the "princess's" body that was mere inches away.
CRACK!
Flesh and bone proved utterly fragile before this heaven-splitting axe. From shoulder to waist, the single slash cleanly bisected the body!
Lu Ce's figure appeared almost instantly via teleportation, gripping the axe handle as he declared:
"It's truly over."
