Zhou Leng thought silently, accelerating his body and rushing into the giant footprint.

Light radiates from the footprint, enclosing the entire space like a stadium.

From afar, the Chain of Skull looked back, eyes widening.

"Is this guy so crazy? That’s the Celestial Pillar Giant, ranked 67th among the Hundred Giant Clans, how dare he..."

The Celestial Pillar Giant is far taller than ordinary giants, standing at forty meters tall even as a Middle-Rank Demigod, with particularly sturdy legs.

The whole body is like a white granite sculpture, emitting a warm sheen, with a gentle smile.

"Start?" the Celestial Pillar Giant asked in a gentle voice.

"Start."

Both slightly crouched, legs pounding the ground, sending out two massive white shockwaves, covering five hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

Both right fists collided.

Boom!

Divine light exploded, sending the two flying backwards, crashing into the closed light screen formed by the giant footprint, sliding down.

Zhou Leng lightly shook his aching right arm, watching as the swelling visibly subsided.

The Celestial Pillar Giant opposite lost his smile, gently shaking his wrist as dead skin fragments scattered from it.

"Tsk tsk, evenly matched..."

The Chain of Skull immediately recognized that the punching power of these two exceeded his own.

The Celestial Pillar Giant’s sheer brute force alone ranked among the top thirty of the Hundred Giant Clans!

It’s just that their temperament is too gentle, not good at combat, thus ranking 67th.

Suddenly, the Chain of Skull squinted eyes, staring at the middle finger of the Celestial Pillar Giant’s right hand.

There, flesh deeply imprinted with a fist mark, surrounded by radiating cracks.

The fist mark and cracks remained unrecovered for a long time.

On the other hand, Zhou Leng’s clearly injured right arm had healed.

"This guy’s power..."

The Chain of Skull didn’t bother searching for a footprint, just came over to watch.

Some giant friends from before came over, wanting a good look at how strong this strange human is.

"Two more punches, if you’re still standing, I’ll leave."

After speaking, the Celestial Pillar Giant let out a low roar, with a huge column-shaped mountain silhouette suddenly appearing behind him.

Surging power flooded throughout his body.

Zhou Leng took a deep breath, the sun and moon revolving within his chest and abdomen, releasing faint golden light outward.

He stomped the ground, twisted his waist, and charged his right arm.

His right fist glittered brilliantly.

He stomped down, punches out.

Divine light exploded in celestial fury, ten suns.

Ten massive orbs of light exploded simultaneously, surrounding both fighters, followed by the ascent of ten mushroom clouds varying in size and height.

The entire footprint area was enveloped by light orbs and mushroom clouds.

After a while, the lights and dust dispersed.

Outside observers saw Zhou Leng with both hands behind his back, his arms de-swollen, but his right hand’s knuckles were twisted, slowly recovering.

The Celestial Pillar Giant appeared deteriorated, various parts charred black, sitting on the ground with a pale face, hunched and dispirited.

His right arm riddled with cracks.

The ground was covered in blood.

The originally sealed light from battle opened up the upper half, leaving only the ordinary light in four directions.

"That punch..." Chain of Skull felt overwhelmed.

From afar, trial takers witnessed this scene and quietly redirected their goals, distancing themselves from this footprint.

But a few trial takers’ gazes flickered.

"You’re strong, I lost." The Celestial Pillar Giant said, slowly stepping out of the glowing footprint.

Zhou Leng stood quietly.

The light around the footprint gradually thickened.

Once it shifts from transparent to opaque, those inside can comprehend the contained power.

Soon, an Alien Star Demigod rushed into the footprint.

"It’s my turn!" He said, swinging his claws towards Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng placed his right hand on his waist and swung his left fist.

East Wind Fist’s twenty-first move, Ascend to Heavenly Peak.

Under Zhou Leng’s feet, an expanse of mountain silhouettes emerged, with ten mountains each suspending a sun.

Identical to the previous ten divine light celestial explosions.

Ascend to Heavenly Peak, solidify faith, follow up with a punch, using this punch.

The stronger the previous punch, the greater the power of this punch.

One punch out, ten suns gather in the left fist, ten mountains converge into one.

Light explodes, Zhou Leng stood motionless, while the Alien Star Demigod spat blood in the air, crashing heavily to the ground, eyes rolled white, unconscious.

Only half of his body remained.

The demigods hoping to scavenge hesitated while calculating carefully in their hearts.

After a long time, one demigod decided to give it a try, only to look up and find the footprint shrouded in milky-white light.

Battle concluded, the victor contemplated the powers of the Starry Giant.

"Such a shame..."

They had to look for another footprint to comprehend.

As the milky-white light enveloped them, Zhou Leng’s vision blackened and brightened.

In the starry sky, a massive star was progressing forward.

Beyond the star, numerous planets and vast asteroid belts orbited the sun.

But beneath the sun and surrounded by flames was a three-thousand-meter-tall flame giant, bearing the sun on his back, striding through the void.

"Bearer of the Sun... Messenger of the Stars..."

Zhou Leng immediately recalled the legends of the giants.

Zhou Leng suppressed distracting thoughts and observed attentively.

Studying the footsteps of the Starry Giant, his breathing, hands, every detail...

At first, nothing was visible, but gradually, it was clear that the power of the Starry Giant was merging with the sun.

Solar flames flowed into his body, looped through it, and flowed back out, forming a perfect cycle.

Within this cycle, the physique of the Starry Giant was tempered to unimaginable strength.

Zhou Leng operated the Great Sun Divine Skill, observing more closely in hopes of enhancing its power through this insight.

Unknown how much time passed, the starry scene blurred.

In a blink, the opaque white light surrounding the footprint dispersed, revealing transparent white light.

To remain here required a new battle.

Each person could comprehend a footprint up to three times.

Zhou Leng stood still.

Meanwhile, the battles intensified, footprints everywhere involved in fierce combat.

"It’s mine!"

A giant rushed forward, Zhou Leng kicked out.

Bang... The giant’s leg flew off, screaming as he was sent flying.

A second giant entered, Zhou Leng performed a divine light celestial explosion, dissolving half his body.

A third alien rushed in, two punches knocked unconscious.

The nearby trial takers hadn’t expected this small human to be so formidable, leaving one after another.

As time elapsed, milky-white light enveloped the footprint.

Vision blackened and brightened, Zhou Leng found himself back in the previous starry sky.

But now in the perspective of the Starry Giant.

He became the Starry Giant, bearing the sun.

Indescribable pain, pressure, heat coursed through his body.

In that instant, Zhou Leng felt immersed within a furnace, suffocating, on the brink of death.

This sensation was more painful than previously racing with the Ascendant Stones.

Zhou Leng endured the agony, quietly sensing the power flow between the giant and the sun, quietly grasping comprehension.

Soon after, the reckoning concluded.

Further challenges ensued, Zhou Leng consecutively defeated five, calming the surroundings.

Then initiated the third comprehension.

This time, becoming the sun, perceiving the power flow between the sun and the Starry Giant.

In no time, Zhou Leng gained insight, countless images immersing his mind.

Within, the Great Sun Divine Skill roared continuously, breaking its previous barrier, advancing to higher realms.
