I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 659 - 479: Found You, [Demon]!

Chapter 659: Chapter 479: Found You, [Demon]!

The powered exoskeleton is tailored for each grandmaster, without many flashy features—its primary functions are to enhance strength, defense, and mobility.

The performance of the exoskeleton is directly proportional to the grandmaster’s own combat ability.

“Alright, be careful.”

Lu Yuan instructed briefly, then fell into a lengthy silence.

The sound of rustling discussions came and went, whether human or Lanpeng people, everyone was eagerly anticipating the next match.

Outside, dark clouds loomed; inside, smoke filled the air. Some were filled with excitement, some beaming with joy, while others were enjoying lively conversations.

An invisible crisis was gradually approaching, yet neither side had the slightest clue.

He couldn’t distinguish, not at all—just which one was [Demon].

“Then why not simply blend into the environment… leave it to instinct to decide.” Lu Yuan thought this as he gradually entered a peculiar state of flow.

He even began to view this gambling duel with a strange sense of amusement.

Perhaps this mindset was the healthiest—only by immersing oneself could one discover the turbulent waves beneath the calm surface.

…

Guo Dafeng donned the powered exoskeleton, grabbed his axe and shield, took a deep breath, and headed to the battlefield.

The exoskeleton weighed approximately 2,000 kilograms and was embedded with 4 Spirit Crystals as its power source.

However, its primary combat strength still depended on him—the exoskeleton merely synchronized with his movements, essentially an advanced version of traditional armor.

As for the axe in his hand, its quality reached the Legendary level—it was the very “Earth Splitting Axe” sold to humans by the Underground Alliance!

With the enhancement of the Extraordinary Spark, the axe emitted a faint orange-colored glow.

The shield in his left hand was the Superior-level “Black Steel Shield,” exquisitely crafted by a human Craftsman Master.

“Come on, show me the pinnacle of pure material technology.” He muttered inwardly, his gaze ignited with battle fervor.

The size difference between the opponents was roughly the same. After a mutual bow, the formal combat began.

“Now… let the battle commence!”

Guo Dafeng immediately activated his “Ice Field,” and a faint white mist appeared on the field.

This field leaned toward reconnaissance—it greatly enhanced his sensory perception and neural reaction speed.

It also dealt noble soul-damage, ensuring that even the slightest gap would cause continual harm to the pilot!

With a roar, Guo Dafeng lunged forward. The Earth Splitting Axe spun with a tiger’s roar, cutting through space as the silver-white armor unfurled its wings and darted forward like a ghost. The Earth Splitting Axe collided fiercely with the high-frequency blade!

“Bang!”

This was a genuine showdown between materialism and mind.

Guo Dafeng gritted his teeth as the Extraordinary Spark Energy output surged to its limit. Even the exoskeleton’s exterior erupted in red light. The Earth Splitting Axe in his hand suddenly slashed out a dark red crescent, rolling waves of air and slicing the high-frequency blade into two!

But the silver-white armor stiffly endured this red glow, sustaining only a shallow scratch on its surface. Transforming its palm into a fist, it struck back ferociously!

This straightforward punch carried the force to move mountains and directly triggered a sonic boom.

“How is the opponent’s speed so fast?!” Guo Dafeng’s pupils constricted. Even with the field’s sensory enhancement, he still found the opponent’s speed extraordinary.

Meanwhile, among the surrounding spectators, all they could see was a faint blur.

At the moment of crisis, Guo Dafeng raised his shield to block.

A deafening “boom” resonated.

He underestimated the power of the X-level armor—it felt as if he was up against a mountain, utterly crushed in terms of raw strength.

The Superior-level shield was dented with a single black mark from the punch.

The two-ton powered exoskeleton that Guo Dafeng wore was sent flying backward by that single strike.

…

The surrounding spectators fell into utter silence.

Lu Yuan held his breath as well, quietly observing and gradually immersing himself in the atmosphere.

In truth, this could be considered a simulation of future warfare. Humans, at most, reached Level 7—but even with higher levels, it was still like this—they couldn’t defeat the Worm King.

Equipped with powered exoskeletons, human experts could unleash stronger combat capabilities, capable of standing against the Worm King. However, the performance of the opposing X-level armor truly surpassed psychological expectations—its strength and defensive abilities were ridiculously excessive, far superior to a Level 10 Worm King.

The remnants of the ancient extraordinary civilization—indeed, they held fascinating power.

Nonetheless, Guo Dafeng would not admit defeat so easily.

“Crack Earth!” He shouted in midair, hurling the Earth Splitting Axe down onto the ground.

In an instant, the hard concrete road was split apart, scattered with flying stones of various sizes.

Using this ground-grabbing force, Guo Dafeng swiftly regained balance, while the opponent rushed forward again.

“Iron Chain!”

Several streaks of red light burst forth from the ground, darting toward the silver-white armor at high speed! This was a utilization of Spark Energy—an evolved combat technique derived from the Earth Splitting Axe.

This move was both swift and discreet. Without adequate combat experience, it would be easy to have one’s joints locked by the chains, reducing combat strength to a mere one or two-tenths. Unfortunately, Guo Dafeng’s opponent had astonishing reflexes—the opponent’s armor, as smooth as a loach and as strong as a mountain, dodged multiple chain locks with agility.

The silver-white armor charged forward, and the two locked eyes as turbulent air currents stirred up by the rapid jumping stormed through the field like a hurricane.

The silver-white armor towered overhead and smashed down a mighty punch!
