Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 666 640: Lord of Lightning (Part 2)

The twenty-eight-meter-long bone rod slanted towards the ground, resembling a giant sword.

Countless pieces of gravel on the ground leapt violently, then continuously shattered.

Chen Shouyi's heart pounded fiercely, time seemed to slow down.

The originally pitch-black night became increasingly brighter.

The aurora danced across the sky, thunder cracked through the dark clouds.

The oppressive atmosphere kept rising, as if it would never end.

Suddenly, Chen Shouyi abruptly looked up.

He saw a figure composed of lightning breaking through the clouds, coming swiftly from afar, accompanied by the chanting of holy hymns, vast and mighty, like a god, like a saint.

A great terror descended.

Chen Shouyi's heart trembled slightly, fear mixed with a strange excitement. He couldn't see Its specific figure, for Its entire body was shrouded in lightning, or perhaps It was the embodiment of lightning itself.

He had never seen such a terrifying opponent. He had killed the God of Light on Earth and encountered the God of Flames in another world, yet even ten Gods of Flames combined couldn't match the terror of the Lord of Lightning.

The terrifying pressure nearly suffocated Chen Shouyi, as if his soul was burning.

Facing the figure of the Lord of Lightning, his whole body's strength penetrated through him in succession, using the bone rod as a sword, he barely managed to launch the first strike.

A compressed red high-pressure air column shot straight into the sky, even piercing a large hole through the dark clouds.

The figure of the Lord of Lightning flickered and avoided it.

After the first strike, Chen Shouyi's movements didn't stop in the slightest, launching another thrust...

Red air columns shot madly towards the sky.

A distant skyscraper was affected by the air column, with half of the building blowing into the sky.

"Boom boom boom..."

The sky thundered loudly, yet it was useless, merely slightly delaying Its speed.

"Arrogant and ignorant evil creature, if this is the power you rely on to challenge me, then let me grant you destruction!" the Lord of Lightning coldly said, then It raised its hand.

A bolt of lightning struck Chen Shouyi's bone rod fiercely.

The entire bone rod instantly erupted with a blinding light.

Chen Shouyi's body trembled, smoke rose from him, and his body suffered mild burns.

If it weren't for the leather armor on his hand blocking most of the damage, the injuries would have been even more severe.

"No good!"

He hurriedly dropped the bone rod.

With this delay, the opponent was already within three hundred meters, and Chen Shouyi's heart sank.

The opponent's speed was extremely fast, as if traveling at the speed of light, flying at an estimated speed three to four times the speed of sound, which eliminated his chance of escape.

He stepped back a pace and stabilized, with the spatial passage just a step away behind him.

"Wait a little longer."

"I only have one chance...now is not the time yet!"

As he was thinking this, the figure full of lightning in front of him rapidly enlarged before his eyes, and in a blink, it was already right before him.

Its body was about thirty meters tall, compared to the more than forty-meter-tall Chen Shouyi, it only reached his chest, yet the horror and danger were completely not something determined by size.

"Air Imprisonment!"

His hair stood on end, as he used Air Imprisonment, the figure momentarily paused imperceptibly, but then the imprisoned air was shattered by the strong Divine Power.

The next moment, Chen Shouyi moved, his massive body took a step forward, and he swung a punch toward that figure.

But the opponent easily dodged, and at the same time, a vague lightning spear, like a stream of light, stabbed towards Chen Shouyi.

Even Chen Shouyi could only see a phantom, as he had just captured the opponent's action, it was already too late.

Since obtaining the leather armor, no force had ever been able to damage it, yet this time it only lasted for a moment before the spear pierced through, the devastating Divine Power poured into his body, erupting in a blinding light.

"Ah!"

Chen Shouyi let out a roar of pain, opening his mouth, electricity spewed from his mouth and nostrils.

He swung a punch towards the God of Lightning, forcing It back.

"Is this your strength? Truly not worth mentioning," the Lord of Lightning taunted, "You want me to kneel and call you daddy...then I'll mercifully give you a chance to live, kneel and shout 'daddy'."

"Kneel to your mother?" Chen Shouyi, feeling the almost carbonized chest and abdomen, roared and charged once more.

"Foolish!" the Lord of Lightning sighed.

Before the words were finished, his chest was pierced by the lightning spear once more, lightning exploded, illuminating his chest.

"Too weak, I can't bear to kill you,"

Chen Shouyi felt he had no strength to fight back, so he simply canceled the vacuum field, glaring at the opponent with bloodshot eyes, "To kill me, you're not qualified."

"Is that so!"

Its figure turned into an afterimage again.

"Imprison it for me!"

Chen Shouyi fully activated Air Imprisonment, staring wide-eyed, trying hard to capture the opponent's movements, his chest pained again, but this time, before the spear could withdraw, in a split second, he grabbed the spear tightly, the terrifying lightning on the spear making his arm muscles spasm, blue smoke billowed, but gritting his teeth, he pulled it out from his chest, veins popping on his forehead.

A huge force came from the Lord of Lightning's hand, Its face showing a hint of surprise.

Such terrifying strength.

It immediately let go of the spear, instantly moving forward, and with a fist wrapped in fierce lightning, struck heavily on his charred chest.

Chen Shouyi's massive body was struck flying backward, letting him see the strength of the Lord of Lightning. Without considering the strong Divine Power, Its strength attribute was only between 35 and 36, a tenfold difference from his own.

Purely physical attacks couldn't even break his defense.

Yet with the Divine Power, just three strikes had already seriously injured him, nearing death.

"I can't delay any longer, if I delay further, I'll die." Chen Shouyi tossed the lightning spear into the space, feeling his body rapidly weakening, anxiety in his heart.

At this moment, the internal organs in his chest and abdomen were mostly destroyed, even his heart had turned into charcoal. If it were someone else, they'd be dead without question. The reason Chen Shouyi could persist was because his energy transfer no longer completely depended on his heart.

Especially after the Giant Transformation, energy spontaneously generated, turning into his physical strength, even without all blood, he could still support combat for a short time.

He made a decisive decision, instantly linking with the armor in his mind.

The golden lines upon it lit up one by one, his will consumed without restraint, a surge of strong strength erupted, his body made a sharp turn without inertia, rushing rapidly towards the spatial passage, leaving an afterimage in place.

"Trying to escape!" The Lord of Lightning's face turned cold, fury rising in Its heart as the spear was taken from It.

It immediately followed closely.

However, just as It was about to enter the spatial passage, a strong sense of foreboding surged within It.

It rapidly retreated.

But it was still a step too late.

In a flash, a giant fist wrapped in solidified air, like a rapidly approaching asteroid, suddenly emerged from the spatial passage. The Lord of Lightning's face changed drastically, and its strong Divine Power erupted.

But just upon contact, it was shattered in an instant. Under the millions of tons of force from Chen Shouyi, the Divine Power's defense field was no better than a piece of thin paper. In the next instant, the giant fist struck Its body, accompanied by a dense, creepy sound of breaking bones. Its giant body was blasted away like a meteor.

A terrifying shock wave swept in all directions.

Suddenly, another scream came from the God of Lightning:

"Thief of destiny, dare you?"

"Boom!"

The sky lit up with a blinding light.
