Bang!
A powerful shockwave swept through, blowing the surrounding trees askew, with some shallow-rooted ones being uprooted entirely.
Succubus Keke managed to resist the shockwave's impact in mid-air, but she was still blown hundreds of meters away.
When the gale subsided.
On the altar, the ancient god's massive fist stopped twenty centimeters from Zhang Chen's face.
Blocking it was Zhang Chen's left hand.
"How is this possible? A mere mortal can block my attack?"
The ancient god was greatly surprised.
"You do have some strength, forcing me to raise my hand!"
Zhang Chen was equally surprised.
Since leaving the apocalypse, any strong enemy he encountered was almost crushed.
He never expected to meet a formidable opponent today; the ancient god was indeed extraordinary.
"Raise my hand? You are too arrogant. I am an ancient god, and you dare to look down on me like this!"
The ancient god then rained down punches like a dense barrage.
Boom boom boom...
Each punch contained immense power. After a cloud of dust, the altar was mostly destroyed, with shattered bricks everywhere.
The ancient god panted heavily and chuckled:
"How's that? Still arrogant? In the world I created, could I possibly be bullied by a mere mortal?"
"Is this all the strength an ancient god has?" Zhang Chen lightly waved his hand, and two gusts of wind instantly blew away the thick dust.
"Relying on brute force alone? I thought gods would have something different!"
"This barbaric and pointless fighting style is unnecessary. It only serves to damage the environment and highlight your incompetence."
"Show me your ultimate technique!"
"I know you possess a special power."
Zhang Chen said with slight impatience, expressing his disdain for this chaotic fighting style.
"Ha, I originally thought I could crush you like a bug, but it seems you're a bit more capable than I imagined!"
"Fine, since you're so eager to die, I'll let you witness my divine power!"
"From this moment on, I am the rule of this world!"
As the ancient god spoke, it picked up a stone from the ground.
Zhang Chen immediately activated his Absolute Vision and discovered that the ancient god was injecting a trace of its mysterious internal power into the stone.
Whoosh!
The ancient god hurled the stone towards Zhang Chen.
"Throwing rocks as an attack?"
Although Zhang Chen found the attack somewhat childish, he dared not be careless, as this was a skill used by the ancient god after being angered.
He quickly raised his hand to block.
Bang!
The stone shattered in Zhang Chen's palm, the immense impact numbing his arm.
Such powerful attack!
This stone's attack was even stronger than the ancient god's own punches!
Zhang Chen's expression turned serious.
Similarly, when the ancient god saw this, its expression also became grim.
This was the first time it had seen a stone imbued with divine power blocked by a mortal.
However, a smile soon reappeared on its lips.
Because the shattered stone reassembled itself into its original form, circled in mid-air, and then attacked Zhang Chen again.
Bang!
Zhang Chen fired an energy wave, shattering the stone.
But it was useless; the broken pieces condensed again, flying around in the air like guided missiles, and attacked once more.
No matter how Zhang Chen tried to destroy it, it would always reform.
Even if Zhang Chen dodged, it would relentlessly pursue and attack him.
"What a peculiar thing!"
Zhang Chen suddenly flew upwards, and the stone closely followed.
However, the stone's flight speed was significantly slower than Zhang Chen's, and it was soon left far behind.
"It's not over yet, this is just the beginning! Hahaha, do you know the consequences of angering a god!"
The ancient god laughed and threw stones at Zhang Chen one after another.
Dozens of stones of various sizes traced random arcs in the sky, then rained down on Zhang Chen like a barrage.
"It never ends!"
Initially, Zhang Chen maintained a curious mindset, trying to find a flaw in its attack.
But as the stones increased in number and the hits became more painful, Zhang Chen instantly became enraged.
Boom!
Fierce flames ignited around Zhang Chen.
[Soul Burn]! Level 3!
It had been a long time since he used this ability. This opponent before him could actually push him to this extent.
Zhang Chen looked at the ancient god with a hint of admiration.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
At this moment, the stones again rushed towards Zhang Chen eagerly.
"Annihilation Finger!"
Zhang Chen slowly raised his finger.
Swish, swish, swish!
Compressed energy with a diameter of ten meters was released from his fingertip.
In an instant, it molecularized the stones, causing them to dissipate into nothingness.
"I wonder if the energy you injected into these stones is enough for them to re-aggregate from the molecular level."
Zhang Chen, enveloped in golden flames, hovered in mid-air, arrogantly addressing the ancient god.
At this moment, Zhang Chen, looking down from above, seemed more like a god.
While the ancient god standing on the ruined altar appeared more like a mortal, its face filled with astonishment.
"This... How is this possible?"
"How can you negate my energy?"
"My laws cannot be altered; only I possess the power to alter laws..."
As the ancient god hesitated, it felt a powerful force strike it, sending it flying instantly.
"A mere mortal... actually..."
The ancient god's vision went dark, its consciousness gradually fading...
"Master, did you just punch this guy to death!"
"With this level of power, they dare to call themselves a god. Only you deserve to be called a god!"
Keke asked with a schadenfreude tone.
"Probably not. She's much stronger than the great demon king from your world."
"When I hit her, I felt a powerful recoil from her armor."
"But it was no use. I just added a little more force and shattered the armor."
"The main thing is... I've never seen such strange moves and armor. It contains a power I've never encountered before."
Zhang Chen frowned, walked up to the massive ancient god, and removed the black helmet from its head.
Instantly, a delicate face emerged from under the helmet, its smooth skin faintly glowing.
"Oh my, I didn't expect this ancient god to be so beautiful. I thought she was an ugly monster!"
"Master, if you disfigured her with that punch, would you regret it?"
"Right, Master, while it's hot, give it a try!"
Keke tried to forcefully remove the ancient god's lower armor, but it seemed to possess some kind of magic, making it impossible to budge even with her full strength.
"This is..."
When Zhang Chen saw this face, he couldn't help but gasp, exclaiming, "The Sacred Spring Goddess?"
