LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 51: Ascension
Po stood at the entrance of the God's Trial Dungeon, the key in his inventory shimmering with a mysterious golden glow. This was it—the final challenge before he could truly ascend. The moment he had been waiting for.
His blindfold fluttered in the wind as he took a step forward. The dungeon pulled him in, and the air shifted—it was heavier, denser, almost crushing. A vast chamber stretched before him, statues towering like mountains, each carved with precision.
But one stood out.
The Statue of God.
It opened its stone eyes, filled with an overwhelming divine presence, and the room trembled.
"KNEEL, MORTAL."
A wave of pressure crashed down, powerful enough to obliterate mountains. The air cracked, and even Po felt his bones groan under the weight.
But he did not kneel.
Instead… he grinned.
His body exploded with golden Chi, and for the first time in his life, he let loose everything. His Shadow Monarch aura and Destruction Monarch essence fused, forming a radiant black-and-gold flame that wrapped around his form like a divine dragon.
"I don't kneel. I make others kneel."
And with that, he charged.
The Statue of God swung its massive hand, an attack that could have turned entire mountains to dust.
Po didn't move.
Instead, he caught the attack.
Caught it.
His Chi-infused palm absorbed the force, and with a simple twist of his wrist, he snapped the statue's fingers.
CRACK.
The Statue roared, pulling back, and this time it unleashed a rain of divine energy blasts, each one powerful enough to destroy a city.
Po simply vanished.
One second he was in front of the attack. The next, he was behind the statue, his dual blades slicing through divine stone like it was paper.
BOOM!
A section of the Statue of God's arm shattered into pieces.
"Impossible…"
The other statues activated, charging toward him. Fifty. A hundred. A thousand.
Po… laughed.
With a flick of his wrist, he summoned his army.
The shadows erupted, and from the darkness rose a thousand legendary warriors, an army of shadows bound to his will.
"You're not the only one with soldiers."
And with that, the battle truly began.
Po slaughtered everything.
The Statue of God, the divine guardians, the entire dungeon itself—nothing could stop him. His personal Kung Fu style was beyond anything the world had ever seen, a blend of ancient mastery and modern power.
And the moment he dealt the final blow, a massive notification filled his vision.
[Congratulations! You have completed the Hidden Challenge: The Path of Absolute Strength.]
Reward: Limit Break (One Punch Man) + Full Integration (Solo Leveling)
At that moment…
Something snapped.
A shackle broke.
His body, his Chi, his soul—everything transcended. His Limiter shattered. His powers fully unlocked.
Po had become… limitless.
When Po stepped out of the dungeon, the air around him shimmered from his mere presence.
His stats were off the charts.
Strength: 999+
Agility: 999+
Intelligence: 999+
Sense: 999+
Vitality: 999+
He had spent zero points until now, holding them back as a challenge to himself.
And now?
He had 995 stat points to distribute.
He did it instantly, allocating 199 points to every stat.
And the world trembled.
Back in the Jade Palace, the Furious Six were training when they suddenly froze.
A shockwave rippled through the air.
"What… what is this presence?" Tigress whispered.
Tai Lung clenched his fists. "No way…" His fur stood on end.
And then, Po landed.
His new attire—a fusion of the Shadow Monarch's regal armor and the Destruction Monarch's battle robes—flowed like divine silk. His blindfold remained, his aura pulsing with power beyond imagination.
Tigress, Viper, and the rest felt it.
And deep in their souls, their own systems activated, responding to the power of their leader.
They, too, would grow.
Po smiled.
Soon, very soon… Kai would come.
And this time…
"He won't stand a chance against what once was considered fodder."
