but--
when!!!!!
Another deafening explosion, powerful enough to level mountains.
Sun Fei felt a violent recoil force coming from the giant hammer in his hand, almost causing him to lose his grip on the [ Immortal King's Soul Crusher ]. It was as if the hammer had not struck a pair of fleshy fists, but rather a towering mountain of steel. With a clang, the point where the giant hammer and fists collided exploded with dazzling Mars.
That's strange!
Even a powerful expert at the Great Sun-Rank Venerable should not be able to withstand an attack from the [ Immortal King's Soul Crusher ] with their own flesh and blood. How could this happen?
Sun Fei was horrified and looked up.
On the other side, [ One Sword ] had completely lost his mind. His fists were indeed a bloody mess, and the flesh on his entire palm had turned to dust. However, the exposed bones were not the snow-white color of ordinary people. Instead, they were golden, shining with a dazzling light, with distinct joints, as perfect as a sculpted work of art.
Clearly, it was this golden bone that blocked the [ Immortal King's Soul Crusher ]'s smash.
Sun Fei noticed that wisps of dark red mist were seeping out from the golden bones and spreading throughout [ One Sword ]'s entire body.
"Golden Bones..."
A flash of insight struck Sun Fei, and he instantly understood.
[ One Sword ]'s strength has increased so drastically, there's definitely something fishy going on, it must be this golden bone causing the trouble.
Moreover, even though only a small part of the fist was exposed, the golden bone gave Sun Fei Sun Fei extremely familiar feeling, reminding him of the skeleton that had mysteriously disappeared beneath the God and Demon Altar in the belly space of the [ Sky City ] sacred mountain, which had been cut in half and nailed to the ground.
"I had a hunch from the start that the golden skeleton was almost alive, not quite dead yet. After the half-section of the mysterious stone pillar that was nailed to it was pulled out, it mysteriously disappeared while the God and Demon Altar Cleansing the [ Worldstone ], as if it had escaped. How... could it be that [ One Sword ] was possessed by that golden skeleton? But that doesn't make sense either, that skeleton is much larger and taller than [ One Sword ]'s body..."
In an instant, many questions flashed through Sun Fei's mind.
And at that very moment--
"Hehehehe..." In the blink of an eye, [ One Sword ] charged forward like a wild beast, licking his lips. His golden hand bones, exposed beyond his elbows, clenched into fists with incredible agility, unleashing a forbidden power. With a single punch, a spatial rift appeared, carrying wisps of dark red mist that flowed in the wind like dried blood. It contained an extremely strong mental fluctuation, filled with a savage aura of hatred and destruction.
Sun Fei's eyes blazed with divine light, his starry pupils resembling golden searchlights.
Ta-da!...
A series of heart-wrenching, metallic clanging sounds erupted.
The flesh and blood on [ One Sword ]'s arms were pulverized by the recoil, and everything below the shoulders vanished, revealing the golden bones encased within the flesh. These bones shimmered with a demonic golden light, and bloody mist continuously seeped out. These golden bone arms were simply indestructible. They held their own against [ Immortal King's Soul Crusher ] head-on, with Mars flying everywhere and explosions resounding like the collapse of the heavens and the earth.
"I'm afraid it's true that [ One Sword ] is already dead. This golden skeleton seems to have its own consciousness, controlling [ One Sword ]'s flesh and blood. What is its purpose? Why did it specifically lead the Dortmund people's Black Warship all the way to my Chambord City?"
Thinking this, Sun Fei showed no mercy whatsoever. He swung his war hammer, unleashing the full power of Barbarian of Hell Difficulty level, sending his opponent flying a hundred meters away with a single blow. He reached out with his left hand into the void, and an ancient, weathered scroll appeared in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the scroll unfurled, and a string of Divine Runes radiating life force flew out from it, enveloping Sun Fei's entire body.
In the next instant, Sun Fei's strength suddenly surged, climbing to another level.
This ancient scroll, brimming with divine life force, was a reward obtained after completing a quest in the Diablo World. It could permanently increase an adventurer's various attributes by 15%. Sun Fei possessed two identical scrolls, one for the Normal Difficulty world and one for the Nightmare Difficulty world, which he had never used. At this crucial moment, they finally came in handy, causing his strength to surge instantly.
In their rematch, Sun Fei completely dominated his opponent.
[ The Immortal King's Soul Crusher ] swung his hammer like lightning, carrying a terrifying power capable of leveling mountains. With each swing, crimson runes flowed across the hammer, devouring souls and spirits, striking the pair of golden-skeleton fists of the opponent '[ One Sword ]' with Mars flying. Finally, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the bones, leaving them covered with pitted wounds.
As Sun Fei's strength continued to increase, his opponent finally could not withstand it. The violent tremors caused the golden skeleton hidden in [ One Sword ]'s body to show signs of being shaken out of the body, putting him at a complete disadvantage, passively taking hits, and having no power to fight back.
"No... This is the power of the gods. How could a mortal like you possess the power to control the gods?" A Spiritual Power of intense anger erupted from the golden skeleton, roaring and spreading in all directions like a tidal wave. Sun Fei was the first to be engulfed by it, and he discerned the meaning contained within this Spiritual Power.
when!!!
With the final blow, a golden stream of light was shaken out from [ One Sword ]'s body.
As Sun Fei had expected, it was exactly the same golden skeleton that had been nailed to the ground below the [ God and Demon Altar ].
The only difference was that the broken bone fragments pierced by the mysterious half-stone pillar on his body had been restored to their original state, turning into a complete, golden skeleton. Dark red flames flickered in the black holes of the skull's eyes, like a raging fire of Vengeance, filled with an aura of violence and destruction.
His 'eyes' stared intently at Sun Fei for a moment, and then, without the slightest delay, he used his scarred 'hands' to casually tear open a rift in the void, plunged into the spatial rift, and disappeared.
Sun Fei couldn't catch up in time, and a gentle golden force surged forth, lifting up the falling remains of [ One Sword ].
To Sun Fei's surprise, [ One Sword ] was not dead; he was still alive.
At this moment, [ One Sword ] finally regained his human form. Although his aura was weak, his original aloofness, superiority, and independent spirit returned to his frail body. He slowly opened his eyes, and [ One Sword ]'s eyes regained their former indifferent and stern expression, like a pool of cold autumn water in the mountains, inspiring awe in those who looked upon them.
" King of Chambord, it's been a long time!" He said slowly with a smile on his face.
