This is.
Everyone’s expressions varied as Bart approached the tall iron hammer man
statue. Now, even the purest-looking mage girl felt that something was wrong.
“Where’s the monster? Where is the monster you talked about? The masked
man was standing at the back of the group. His expression was vigilant and
serious, and his gaze as he looked at Bart was cold.
However, Bart ignored the masked man. He slowly walked to the statue and
squatted down. He lowered his head and said, “Great Lord, I have followed your
orders and brought new believers.
The people behind immediately exploded. The masked man took out the
dagger at his waist and even the silly-looking mage girl could not control
herself from shouting, “Don’t talk nonsense! I’m a loyal believer of the Goddess
of Magic!
As she spoke, she raised her staff and retreated, clearly wanting to leave this
place that already made her feel very uneasy.
However, she was not the first to think of escaping. Behind the group, the
masked man was standing in front of a faint red light barrier that had appeared
at some point in time. His expression was very ugly.
“Demigod-level barrier.” He muttered as cold sweat dripped down his
forehead.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, a deep rumbling sound came from inside the cave. The
masked man turned around and saw that the statue in front of Bart had come
to life!
Stones began to fall from the statue’s body, revealing a tall and ferocious man
with bulging muscles, who was wearing mighty armor and holding a large
hammer.
This ferocious man was more than three meters tall and had a thick beard. His
golden eyes calmly swept across the people in the cave as he said calmly,
“Lowly mortals, I am the Lord of the Hammer. I will ask you, are you willing to
offer your most loyal faith to me?”
This giant-like existence that gave off a terrifying pressure had a calm tone,
but there was an inexplicable power in his words. It made the few people in the
cave tremble and almost forced them to prostrate.
of course, Zhou Chen was not included. He was still maintaining a low profile
and thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
After a short silence, the swordsman, who had not spoken much since the
beginning of the exploration, suddenly looked up at the existence who called
himself the Lord of the Hammer and replied firmly, “I don’t want to! I will
never give myself to you monsters who eat faith!”
“Hmm The Lord of the Hammer nodded slightly. “You have courage, mortal.”
Then, without any warning, he raised the large hammer in his hand and
smashed it towards the head of the swordsman!
His movements did not seem to be fast, but the swordsman who was the target
revealed a horrified expression. He could not move his body, as if he had
turned into a fool and did not know how to dodge.
Boom!
The hammer smashed down, and the young man turned into a pile of meat
dregs. Even his weapon, the claymore, was smashed into pieces by the
hammer.
After killing the young man easily, the Lord of the Hammer looked at the few
remaining people in the cave. “Lowly mortals, I’ll ask again. Are you willing to
offer your most loyal faith to me?*
This time, his question causeda short period of silence. A few seconds later,
the mage girl stammered a reply, “You. You can’t do this! I’m a believer of the
Goddess of Magic! The Goddess of Magic won’t let you off!”
She retreated as if there was an escape route behind her.
It’s useless. There’s an extremely powerful barrier here. Gods won’t pay
attention to believers like us.” Before the Lord of the Hammer could reply, the
masked man, who had returned at some point, calmly said to the mage girl
with a complicated tone.
He then walked to the Lord of the Hammer and knelt down. He lowered his
head and said, “1, Dimon Spiel, am willing to change my faith to the great Lord
of the Hammer. I offer my most loyal faith to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the pressure on his body reduce
greatly. At the same time, he felt an inexplicable connection with the powerful
existence in front of him. This connection was so magical and intimate,
making him know that he could no longer disobey any orders from this
existence.
“Very good, Dimon Spiel. I like smart mortals like you.” The giant Lord of the
Hammer looked down at the masked man kneeling in front of him and smiled
slightly.
“What about the two of you?” He then raised his head slightly and looked at the
girl and Zhou Chen.
The mage girl’s body was shaking, and her eyes were filled with tears. Zhou
Chen’s expression was calm as he looked straight at the Lord of the Hammer
pensively.
“Mortal, you give me an extraordinary feeling. Are you willing to offer your
faith to me? Zhou Chen’s different behavior attracted the attention of the Lord
of the Hammer. He ignored the mage girl who seemed to be on the verge of
collapse and looked at Zhou Chen, who was standing calmly.
Zhou Chen immediately smiled and replied, “Sorry, I refuse.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely terrifying aura erupted from his
body. At the same time, his figure arrived beside the Lord of the Hammer, and
he punched the latter’s head!
The Lord of the Hammer seemed to be surprised by Zhou Chen’s sudden
outburst, but he was still able to raise his arm to block Zhou Chen’s fist.
With the two of them as the center, the air rippled visibly, causing cracks to
appear on the four walls of the cave. At the same time, Bart and Dimon Spiel,
who were closer to the Lord of the Hammer, were sent flying, and the mage
girl, who was further away, was knocked to the ground.
However, this was only the beginning. Since Zhou Chen had attacked, he was
gong to see this fight to the end!
The Eight Desolates True Energy in his body surged with great might as he
punched and kicked at the Lord of the Hammer, who was still maintaining a
defensive posture. The Lord of the Hammer’s body was lowered slightly, and
his entire body was pressed into the stone ground like he was sinking into
quicksand.
Every person had anger, let alone an existence like this. After the Lord of the
Hammer received a few hits, he suddenly erupted with all his strength. His
entire body instantly burned with hot flames as he blocked Zhou Chen’s attack
and pushed him back. At the same time, he raised the hammer in his hand and
roared at Zhou Chen, “Mortal! I will burn your soul into ashes in the furnace!
Zhou Chen was not afraid of his anger at all. Instead, his fighting spirit was
completely aroused.
“With just you?! I think you should pray that you can last a little longer!” After
mocking this guy, Zhou Chen engaged in an intense battle with him.
Although the Lord of the Hammer seemed to have entered a powered up state
with flames surrounding his body, Zhou Chen’s defense and resistance were
very high. When he had just arrived in this world, he had even obtained Fire
Resistance passive skill, so he was not afraid of the fire attacks.
In the following intense battle, the Lord of the Hammer was no longer as
passive as when he was ambushed at the beginning. He fought back against
Zhou Chen.
His body was very strong, and his strength was very high. The hammer in his
hand was even more terrifying. A casual strike had the ability to destroy
anything. In addition, the high temperature flames surrounding him made it
impossible for ordinary people to even approach him.
After fighting with him for a while, Zhou Chen realized that this person’s
flames were extraordinary. Even though his resistance to fire was very high, he
was still burned when he touched him.
Zhou Chen changed his strategy and stopped fighting in close combat. Instead,
he relied on his speed and martial arts advantage to lengthen the battle time
and evade his ferocious attacks. From time to time, he would endure the flames
to attack the Lord of the Hammer, planning to grind him to death little by
little.
The Berserk passive was already stacked during the battle. His body had
recovered to its peak, and he was not afraid of some injuries.
Because of the battle experience with the golden-armored man a few days ago,
Zhou Chen was very clear about the limits of his endurance. He knew that this
battle could not continue forever, so when the battle began, he even activated
the new Plague V passive skill.
This passive skill did not deal much direct damage to such an opponent. In the
beginning, it could even be ignored. However, as time passed, Zhou Chen felt
that the Lord of the Hammer’s condition was becoming worse and worse, and
his attacks became increasingly weak. Sometimes, he even showed signs of
losing his balance when he was hit.
After a long battle, the two of them completely shattered the interior of the
cave, and the barrier outside the cave was also broken by them.
They fought from the cave to the outside and fought for a few hours in the
mountains outside before the fight finally ended.
The final winner was naturally Zhou Chen. He had obtained victory i
previous two battles with demigods and had become much stronger. It was not
too difficult to defeat this opponent.
Zhou Chen grabbed the moment his Freeze passive skill was triggered to attack
the enemy whose head was covered in white frost, blowing up his skull and
turning it into golden-white ice dregs.
[You have killed the Lord of the Hammer (Slight Divine Power). Reward: White
Divine Fire.]

[King of Forging V

You have the ability to forge various equipment. As long as you have the right
materials and tools, you can forge various mystical items. There is even a
chance of creating a divine artifact.]
“The gains this time are quite good.” At this moment, Zhou Chen, who was
mostly charred and emitting smoke, rubbed his burnt hair and sighed slightly.
He was very satisfied with this battle. The opponent was quite strong. He had
used all his strength and even suffered serious injuries to defeat the other
party.
However, not only did he have a good time fighting this battle, his gains were
also very good.
Firstly, it was the pure white divine fire. The value of this thing was
self-evident. The mid-gold rank meant that it was basically a divine item.
The King of Forging passive skill was a skill experience passive skill. It
instantly gave Zhou Chen a powerful ability: Forging equipment.
Zhou Chen silently savored the large amount of knowledge regarding materials
and forging processes that had appeared in his mind. He knew that as long as
he had suitable tools and materials, he could create a pile of powerful
equipment for himself.
He bent down and took out the Lord of the Hammer’s heart. He then picked up
the large hammer from the ground and placed it in his interspatial ring. He
controlled his gravity to fly into the sky and began to search for the cave.
During the fight, they had moved away from the mountain area. This was an
unfamiliar area to him. He did not plan to survive in the wilderness. He wanted
to return to the house he had rented and continue his comfortable cultivation.
However, when Zhou Chen returned to the area of the cave, Zhou Chen realized
that the entire mountain had collapsed. Through his Bloodthirst, he did not
sense any living beings.
“Then the remaining three are all dead?
After carefully sensing again, Zhou Chen determined that this was very likely
because their previous battle was carried out in the cave. Although the three
other humans were quite strong compared to ordinary people, it was very
difficult for them to last until the end under the continuous aftershock of the
battle in the enclosed environment, let alone the collapse of the mountain.
“What should I do? Even the teleportation formation was destroyed.” Realizing
that he could not teleport back, Zhou Chen took out the hovering motorcycle
from his inventory and flew into the night sky.
It took him some time to fly out of this unfamiliar mountain area and find
some natives to ask about his current location.
It turned out that Bart had teleported them to a very remote area thousands of
kilometers away from the original mountain area.
“That Lord of the Hammer actually hid in such a remote place and even forced
extraordinary beings to worship him. such a cheap move.
Zhou Chen still did not understand why the Lord of the Hammer did this.
Perhaps he was hiding because he was afraid that the truly powerful natives
would find him, but since he needed the power of faith, he sent someone to
deceive them.
“He tried so hard to deceive some extraordinary humans. Is it because the
power of faith of such people is more useful? Zhou Chen speculated in his
heart and quickly returned with the hovering motorcycle.
