  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.] 

  [Passive Plunderer triggered: You have obtained the passive skills of the Lord 

  of the Hammer (Slight Divine Power: Spirit Enhancement V, Fire Source V. 

  Detected that they are superior to the passive skills you already have. They will 

  automatically be replaced.] 

  [Passive Plunderer triggered: You have obtained the passive skill of the Lord of 

  the Hammer (Slight Divine Power), “King of Forging V”. Do you want to absorb 

  it? 

  [White Divine Fire 

  Type: Middle Gold item 

  This is an extremely precious wisp of pure divine fire that has the ability to 

  purify faith into divine power. 

  As long as you absorb it into your Godhood, you can transform into a God and 

  begin the path of gathering faith.] 

  [King of Forging V 

  Type: Mid Silver passive skill 

  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.
