……

"Holy shit!!"

Luo Chenyu was utterly stunned.

A massive increase in stats? That's just routine, nothing worth being surprised about.

But those additional traits and skills? Absolutely horrifying.

The former shatters physical defense up to a terrifying 90%, identical to the Little Red Dress's trait—its boost to him is undeniable.

And…

The latter is even more insane.

It's not the instant-kill chance that's insane—it's the 【Divine Power damage】.

Divine Power? That's a power exclusive to deities.

The Barbarian God once said, a demigod is not a deity and cannot generate Divine Power; once Divine Power is formed, the demigod transforms into a deity.

"No wonder it's a Super Artifact!!"

He wasn't unfamiliar with Super Artifacts—the 【Eternal Arena】 shop had some, but that didn't matter.

As long as it's stronger than a Divine Artifact, that's enough!

This also sparked another hope in him.

Full body—Super Artifact!!

………………

Boom!

A massive hammer descended from the sky, smashing a Tier-9 black skeleton into fragments.

Accompanied by a notification.

Luo Chenyu smiled in satisfaction.

This strike was not the skill 【Thundering Heaven】—it was a regular attack.

He discovered that after transforming into the 【Purple Illusion Thundering Hammer】 form, 【Pillar of Heaven】's stats had changed slightly.

Strength and Constitution increased, while Agility and Spirit decreased.

Although total stats remained unchanged, the specialized attributes became more perfect.

Especially that defense-reduction effect—it was truly excellent.

"Actually, a hammer isn't bad—mighty!"

Luo Chenyu slung the massive hammer over his shoulder, gazing ahead at the "Black Stone Desert."

As far as his eyes could see.

Black skeletons crawled out from beneath the rocks, their pale soul flames forming an eerie sight—even illuminating the dark desert.

"Perfect timing—let me test the hammer's power!"

Luo Chenyu's battle spirit surged, "Little Red, charge with me—see who kills more!"

"Okay, Daddy!"

The Little Red Dress flew off Luo Chenyu's shoulder, transforming into a red-clad young lady; her slender hands waved, and countless gray threads surged forth, blanketing the black skeleton horde.

Luo Chenyu: "…"

Damn!

That's cheating!

He hadn't even said "go" yet.

As he was speechless, Luo Chenyu's body vanished from his spot, turning into a bolt of lightning that struck the black skeleton horde.

Waves of lightning damage erupted.

Causing all black skeletons to freeze momentarily.

The damage wasn't high, but the paralysis effect was outstanding—it ensured Luo Chenyu landed steadily during his charge.

Boom!!

Hammer strike—one-hit kill!

These black skeletons were weak—only Tier 8—and once controlled, they couldn't even activate their domains, dying instantly.

"Awesome!"

Luo Chenyu felt he'd unlocked another door.

He swung the hammer wildly.

Wherever he passed, debris littered the ground.

Small hammer—shatters bones!

Big hammer—breaks souls!

In contrast to Luo Chenyu's frenzy, the red-clad young lady's attacks were distinctly "gentler"—gray threads slipped through, silently stealing the black skeletons' soul flames.

Perhaps "killing without a trace" described her method.

But both the human and the phantom shared the same ultimate goal.

Kill!

Frenzied slaughter!

Luo Chenyu's attacks were bold and sweeping—as expected of a supreme divine artifact, every one of its effects surpassed the limits of the divine grade.

Luo Chenyu did not know the reason behind it.

But, so long as it was fierce, that was enough.

Just as Luo Chenyu was slaughtering frenziedly.

Suddenly…

An anomaly descended without any warning.

A gale rose up everywhere.

"Not good!"

Luo Chenyu's heart suddenly jolted—within his divine sense, a destructive force came sweeping in along with the gale.

"Little Red, merge!"

The Young Lady in Red's life-preserving ability could not compare to his—immunity to physical attacks was fine, but her means of reducing other types of energy damage were somewhat lacking.

He could only have her return first.

As the gale struck, Luo Chenyu hurriedly activated 【Eternal · Lightning Shield Wall】, giving himself enough time to consider how to weather it.

Because…

When the gale swept through, the pale soul-fires of those black skeletons trembled, and every one of them burrowed into the ground.

It seemed they were greatly fearful of the gale.

The God-War Land…

Everything was so bizarre.

"What is that!!"

Luo Chenyu braced himself against the endless gale, and a strange scene suddenly appeared before his eyes.

As the gale came sweeping in.

Within the endless void, an eerie light actually appeared.

Within the light, there seemed to be a gate!

But here came the problem!

He could withstand the gale on the ground, but the gale above actually carried countless spatial rifts within it.

Those spatial rifts had been torn open by the gale!

Terrifying!

The space of the God-War Land was very stable—for it to be able to damage the space here meant the gale's offensive power was extraordinary.

Even… an outrageous thought surfaced in Luo Chenyu's mind.
