Chapter 68: Praise…The Sun!

Buzz—

The air vibrated, and a bright golden laser shot out from Chen Feng’s hand.

No matter how fast the Yatengu moved, it could not be faster than the light.

At such a close distance, nobody could tell how fast the light moved.

The light instantly struck the Yatengu’s body.

However, he did not manage to stop the Yatengu from making its way forward. All he managed to do was to weaken the black mist surrounding the Yatengu by a little.

“It works…”

Chen Feng focused his attention ahead.

His holy light attack had caused quite a bit of damage to the Yatengu/

However, this degree of damage…was far from enough.

“The holy light attack just now probably cleansed one-tenth of the dark power in his body.”

“I need to hit him ten times to have a chance of winning.” Chen Feng calculated in his heart.

“However, I cannot be hit by him, not even once!

This was the reason why Chen Feng was currently in a passive position against the Yatengu.

The Yatengu could afford to make plenty of mistakes, but Chen Feng could not do so. If he made even a single mistake and got pierced by the katana, he would definitely die!

Boom!

Another streak of holy light shot out and directly pierced through the air. Even the surrounding space began to distort.

Boom!

Another strike landed on Yatengu.

However, it seemed like the Yatengu had given up on dodging the strikes. After all, it could not dodge an attack that was close to the speed of light. Therefore, it chose to use its body to block them headfirst.

As it got hit again and again, the black mist surrounding it weakened.

However, the distance between Chen Feng and it continued decreasing!

Ten meters!

Five meters!

Two meters!

What a terrifying power!

A thick cloud of dust rose and blocked everyone’s view.

However, they could all clearly sense it.

The light had been extinguished…

The dazzling light had completely disappeared at the spot where the battle had erupted.

However, it lasted only for a short moment.

In the very next second, a scorching light lit up the entire expanse of the sky above everyone!

Praise the sun!

The Awakened Ones present had never felt the warmth of the sun before.

Only those who had experienced darkness and despair could understand the value of light.

Soon, they realized that the light above them did not come from the sun.

Amidst the endless light, a figure could be vaguely seen.

A figure was riding on a pegasus that was sparkling like diamonds.

All the light came from his staff.

It was…Chen Feng!

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the clouds were dyed a pale gold color.

Gaotian Plains, which had been shrouded in darkness all along, was illuminated by light for the first time. The panoramic view of the plains could be seen by everyone.

The light outlined the edges of all the buildings. This was the first time the Awakened Ones had felt the holiness of this place.

As Chen Feng rode on Pegasus Pagasos, he looked down at the Yatengu below. His face was emotionless. It was as if he was a god that was looking down on the world below him.

“Get purified…”

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, light flooded all over and consumed the Yatengu.

Streaks of black Qi surged out of the Yatengu frantically.

A series of crackling sounds could be heard from within the light. It sounded like something was struggling with all its might as it was roasted in the light.

This process lasted about a minute.

One minute later, the light gradually dimmed.

The golden light on Chen Feng’s body gradually faded away as he slowly landed on the ground on Pegasus Pagasos.

The Yatengu did not die. It stood there alone instead.

However, its aura was completely different from before.

It still had the same face as before.

It had a red face and a long nose. It was wearing a Yamabushi suit and a black robe. It wore wooden clogs and held a sheathed katana.

However, his presence became calm, and all the killing intent within him disappeared. His eyes were as calm as water as he silently observed the people before him.

He looked like a kind old father that was staring at his children.

Soon enough, the Yatengu’s gaze landed on Chen Feng. There was a hint of admiration in its gaze.

“You have done well. Humans…are indeed the most intelligent species in the world.”

“Thank you for purifying me. As a return of your favor, I can answer one of your questions.”

The Yatengu’s indifferent voice rang out. With a wave of itss right hand, a thick divine force instantly enveloped it and Chen Feng.

Their voices could no longer be heard by the outside world.

“Answer one of my questions?”

Chen Feng immediately fell into deep thought.

As an Awakened One that had been reborn, he had already experienced the various changes that occurred after the gamified world was created. Therefore, he had endless questions in his mind.

This was especially true after he entered Gaotian Plains and witnessed the extreme eerieness of the mythical realm. There were countless questions in his heart.

Now that he was suddenly allowed to ask it a question, Chen Feng did not know what to ask.

There were way too many things that he wanted to know.

“Are you guys… still alive?”

After pondering upon it for a moment, Chen Feng raised his head and asked the Yatengu a question in a low voice.

A hint of surprise seemed to flash through the Yatengu’s eyes.

He did not expect Chen Feng to ask such a question.

This question was confusing.

However, both the Yatengu and Chen Feng knew very well who “you guys” referred to.

After Chen Feng entered Gaotian Plains, he had been perpetually puzzled. What in the world had happened here countless years ago?

Why did the pure land where the gods lived in myths and legends turn into such a hell?

The Yatengu nodded.

It then shook its head.

“We have already disappeared from this world, just like you have.”

The answer made Chen Feng frown.

“Just like us?”

A terrifying thought flashed through Chen Feng’s mind.

Was everyone on Earth dead?

Otherwise, why would the Yatengu say such a thing?

“However, it isn’t impossible to survive.

“First, you have to find the Godly Tree from back then…”

The Yatengu suddenly lowered its voice. Its figure became increasingly dim.

Before Chen Feng could react, the Yatengu’s body slowly dissipated in front of him.

All that was left was the Yatengu’s vague answer.

Everything slowly returned to normal, and Chen Feng returned to the crowd once again.

However, the words mentioned by the Yatengu continued replaying in his mind.

The Godly Tree?
