Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 603 577: God of Light (Part 4)

Chen Shouyi could no longer remember the last time he ran so freely under the setting sun... no, under the blazing sun. When was it?

Anyway, it has been... a long, long time ago.

So long that the memories have become fuzzy, and he was unwilling to recall them.

Endless energy poured into his body out of nowhere, and powerful force erupted through his muscles like a volcano.

All around was silent, the scenery on both sides flashed past rapidly.

He charged forward with all his might, through air so dense it was nearly solid.

If time could rewind, Chen Shouyi swore he would never play the hero on a whim; he would be cowardly if he needed to be, retreat if he needed to retreat.

There is no shame in that!

He didn't know what death felt like?

Perhaps it was eternal tranquility.

Endure a moment of pain, and it's over.

How hateful.

He was only nineteen.

Just thinking about it made him unwilling!

Suddenly, a dazzling light came from behind, and his back burned scorching hot; a few seconds later, the ground shook violently.

"Nuclear bomb!"

Chen Shouyi was initially shocked, then turned to joy.

The army in the rear was taking measures.

But...

This approach was truly terrifying.

If they miscalculated, he would be ashes too.

Unfortunately, only two nuclear bombs had fallen, and there were no more incoming. The God of Light seemed unharmed, both of them kept running until the battlefield was out of sight.

"Wait!"

Chen Shouyi began to sense something was amiss.

"I've been running wildly for almost a minute now, why haven't I caught up yet?"

As the blinding light of the nuclear bombs faded slightly, he quickly glanced back and saw the God of Light was still 200 meters away.

"Why so slow?"

"No, it's because I'm faster now." He realized.

Focused on running blindly earlier, he hadn't noticed it until now—he was much faster than before.

During the previous bloody battle, his speed as the Earth Giant had reached supersonic levels, and now his body had not only transformed but his Giant Battle Body had grown from 7.5 meters to 10 meters.

His speed was now almost on par with the God of Light.

His heart surged with excitement.

Damn, that scared me!

He shouted back at the God of Light: "Barbarian God, didn't eat your fill? Go eat shit!"

The God of Light couldn't help but ignite with rage at these words, rising like a flame, his eyes blazing with light: "Seeking death!"

He unleashed the last of his divine power.

The surrounding earth emitted light, turning bright and transparent.

At the same time, three pairs of gigantic light wings rapidly formed on his body, and terrifying power began to erupt.

The next moment, with a booming sound, he shot forward like a stream of light, leaving a comet-like trail behind him, flying like lightning.

Chen Shouyi sensed something was wrong, just glanced back and instantly felt his scalp tingle.

Damn, you and your cheap mouth!

He ignored his splitting headache and dazed state, hurriedly linking with his armor, and accelerated his body.

In less than 0.5 seconds.

The golden patterns on the armor dimmed once again.

At that moment, he sensed danger approaching, and his body suddenly dodged.

"Boom"

The terrifying divine power struck the ground, transforming the earth into light and disappearing.

He had just let out a sigh of relief when the divine might approached, and the thought of dodging had just arisen.

A massive fist enveloped in mist slammed heavily onto his back like a missile strike.

A ring of shockwaves exploded, and dust soared from the ground.

Chen Shouyi's body was smashed heavily into a deep crater.

Before he could stand up.

The pointed end of the God of Light's scepter was thrust fiercely at the back of his head.

"Boom!"

Chen Shouyi's whole body shook, his vision went dark, and the next moment, he twisted forcefully, kicking the God of Light away.

The God of Light felt slightly uneasy, not expecting this layer of an ancient god's hide to be so sturdy that even he couldn't break through the defense, suspecting it came from some primordial deity.

Chen Shouyi spat out a mouthful of blood, sneering, "Are you out of divine power?"

This attack was far weaker than the last, not only lacking destructive divine power, but also much weaker in force, leaving him barely injured.

He realized the other party's inherent strength wasn't much greater than his, at most 20% stronger.

"Enough to kill you." The God of Light looked at Chen Shouyi as if he were a sheep waiting for slaughter.

Speaking so, his massive body took a step, the air bursting explosively, his body speeding over, Chen Shouyi barely dodged one hit, only to get struck again.

Boom boom boom boom!

His body rolled like a bouncing ball, continually crashing and grinding against the earth.

The attacks came like a storm, Chen Shouyi felt like countless giant beasts trampled him, his whole body aching, bones groaning, utterly powerless to fight back.

He attempted to counterattack several times but couldn't even touch the opponent's sleeve.

The difference in strength was too vast.

Completely not on the same level.

Both in speed of thought and reaction capability, the opponent was two to three times greater.

Such combat was simply despairing.

Were it not for his formidable defensive power and mighty vitality, he would've died countless times over.

And this was the God of Light after exhausting his divine power.

"Boom!"

Chen Shouyi was struck lightning-fast five consecutive times in the chest at the same spot by the scepter.

With a crack, a rib finally gave way, breaking alongside his body, which flew backward like a meteor.

The God of Light showed impatience, instantly catching up, gripping his throat with a giant hand, and before he could react, slammed him into a gigantic rock over ten meters high.

The rock shattered abruptly, tons of fragments shot into the sky like cannonballs.

The next moment, he raised his scepter, the pointed end at the tail flickering towards Chen Shouyi's eyes.

His pupils suddenly shrank.

Quickly raising his hands, he tightly gripped the scepter.

Hundreds of tons of force struggled against each other, causing ripples in the air.

Then the God of Light grasped the scepter with his other hand, exerting force with both:

"It's over."

In the blink of an eye, Chen Shouyi's head instantly tilted, his body on the ground suddenly flipped over, simultaneously throwing an elbow strike, slamming into the God of Light's ribs.

The massive body of the God of Light was sent tumbling.

Before he could rise.

Chen Shouyi roared, kicked off the ground fiercely, his face distorted in ferocity, and charged forward.

Having survived by a hair, he went berserk.

In one step, he caught up, smashing his shoulder into the opponent's body.

His short sword had long been knocked away in the intense battle earlier.

However, just as he approached, the other twisted mid-air, kicking him away.

The two stood up while rolling.

The next moment, they collided at high speed again.

The booming sounds almost connected like rolling thunder, the fight extending from plains to peaks, snapping trees, quaking the earth, leaving countless crater-like pits.

...

"Die for me!" The God of Light roared, pounding Chen Shouyi's body in madness like a volleyball being slammed around, refusing to drop for a long time,

Such a prolonged battle without resolving the opponent had completely exhausted his patience.

Chen Shouyi merely protected his eyes and throat.

Letting the opponent's hammer-like fists and kicks madly strike.

"Crack!"

The third rib broke with a punch, the fracture deeply piercing the liver.

Then the fourth rib.

He seemed utterly unaware, his expression twisted.

He was waiting, waiting for a chance of a certain kill.
