How fast was light?
At 300,000 kilometers per second, it could circle the Earth's equator about seven times in one second, with another 20,000 kilometers to spare.
The Holy Light summoned by Death was like light itself. The instant it appeared, it had already pierced the atmosphere, plunging down like a meteor and shooting toward Fang Cheng.
At that speed, even if you saw it coming, you couldn't dodge it.
Fang Cheng, who had just stepped into Strategic-Class, took the Holy Light head-on.
There was no deafening noise, no violent explosion—only a blinding white light that silently swallowed everything.
This wasn't a wide-area skill. The only target it could damage was the one struck by the Holy Light.
At that moment, Fang Cheng felt as if he had fallen into an ocean of needles.
Every ray of light turned into a needle far smaller than a cell, a protein, or even a molecule of water, trying to pierce the molecules and atoms in his body.
Beyond its attack on the microscopic level, the Holy Light also had an obvious effect on the soul.
Even Izanae's protection could barely withstand this attack.
Fang Cheng immediately sent his soul into the Soul Box to hide.
Using the Soul Box cost one point of life per minute, which was almost the same as being killed outright, but he wanted to test whether it could block the attack.
Sure enough, once his soul was inside the box, the Holy Light missed it completely. It couldn't even touch him, and could only continue attacking his body.
Fang Cheng used his Level Five Superman-Type ability to endure it physically, battling the Holy Light on the microscopic level.
If he hadn't raised it to Level Five, he had no doubt he would've been annihilated in an instant,
