Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 477 - 451: Clash with the Demigod (Conclusion)

Chapter 477: Chapter 451: Clash with the Demigod (Conclusion)

In just a few seconds, the giant beast flew over the small island and suddenly hovered in the air.

After becoming a demigod, its size had shrunk significantly, from the original astonishing body length of thirty meters from head to tail, to now only about ten meters.

Without the tail, the body was about six meters.

Compared to Chen Shouyi, who was 23 meters tall, it was like the size of a puppy.

However, size had no significance for a demigod.

Because the main source of energy for a demigod was no longer food, but the divine fire within, and the energy released by the divine fire was constant, once formed, it would neither increase nor decrease, and only upon advancing to a True God would it experience a corresponding upgrade.

Being too large would instead make one appear clumsy and disadvantageous for combat.

The sky was swirling with dark clouds, lightning, and thunder.

The air was filled with a tense, agitated atmosphere.

For a moment, it felt as if the entire island was devoid of other creatures apart from one person and one beast.

Chen Shouyi dragged a large tree with his hand, his expression calm and quietly moved forward, approaching the demigod, small trees, and bushes in the forest breaking continuously, leaving deep footprints on the ground.

"Foolish giant..." The giant beast looked coldly at the giant approaching it with big strides, wanting to say something.

How many years has it been!

It had always stayed on the isolated island, solitary and invincible, and finally encountering an opponent, the giant beast felt that killing it instantly would seem to be missing something, just like finally encountering a feast but swallowing it whole without tasting anything.

However, before it could finish speaking, a large tree came whistling towards it.

The giant beast swallowed the rest of its words, dodging the tree with ease, feeling a surge of anger in its heart. It decided to bite and kill it first to avoid future trouble.

For some reason, looking at the giant getting closer, it felt a vague unease, an instinct telling it that this giant was very dangerous.

It quickly descended to the ground; it had just become a demigod and wasn’t familiar with the powers of a demigod, not yet accustomed to fighting in the air, with its thoughts mostly governed by beast instincts.

Seeing it land, Chen Shouyi breathed a sigh of relief:

"If it stayed in the air, it would have been really hard to deal with!"

Air Imprisonment couldn’t sustain his current weight; even if it could, both flexibility and speed were far inferior to the opponent’s innate flight.

He quickened his pace, his feet thudding on the ground with each step, causing the ground to tremble.

However, as fast as Chen Shouyi was, the demigod was even faster, its body enveloped in bizarre energy, seemingly transforming into a mass of light, breaking the trees in its path before even making contact.

Countless broken trees flew into the air, forming a charred path through the forest.

Chen Shouyi had just begun burning Faith Value, entering a super-god state, when a vague figure sprang toward his throat like a lightning bolt amidst flying wood chips.

The throat, a weak spot for all creatures, was also the preferred point of attack for most top predators.

He could clearly capture its movements, but trying to react felt utterly powerless. The strength of Giant Transformation made his agility dull, only about fifty percent of his usual.

In a flash of lightning, Chen Shouyi barely raised his left hand to protect his throat while his right hand turned sword-like, slashing toward that figure.

In an instant, the giant beast bit fiercely onto his left hand protecting his throat, its scorching heat making his whole body hair curl, while simultaneously, Chen Shouyi’s right-hand chop broke through the air, slashing toward it heavily.

"Boom!"

The hand chop carried a shockwave five or six times the speed of sound, like an incomparably violent blade. A small "tree" half a meter thick a few meters away was severed by the air blade, shook violently with wood chips flying, then slowly tilted.

Yet it hit nothing.

The demigod missed its attack and had already eerily slipped behind, biting at the back of his neck.

Having burned Faith Value, Chen Shouyi’s mind was already reacting, but his body was clumsy as if rusted, cumbersome to death.

"Boom!"

He had barely "slowly" lowered his head when he felt a pain at the back of his neck, while his body, hit from behind, staggered awkwardly forward.

"Damn it!"

Though they were just superficial wounds at most biting down to the muscle, the frustrating feeling of having strength but nowhere to exert it enraged him.

"I don’t believe I can’t take you down."

He became determined, casually plucking a large tree and swinging it fiercely behind him.

The air was torn by the tree, its leaves shredded by high-speed air currents, faintly bursting out a flash of flames.

The giant beast dodged once more with its ghostly movements.

Taking advantage of this, Chen Shouyi distanced himself, and seeing the giant beast charging again, he grabbed and broke a large tree, forcefully throwing the wood chips and splinters in his hand.

Whizz whizz whizz...

Despite being a demigod, the giant beast was struck by one of the high-speed wood splinters, causing its movement to hesitate involuntarily.

"Great opportunity!"

Chen Shouyi stomped heavily on the ground, and the air in front of him suddenly solidified. It lasted for a moment before he broke through some barrier, and the whole world became quiet.

This was when he broke through the sound barrier of this world.

The horrible tempest stirred by his massive body even blew away the topsoil and small trees, a scene resembling the apocalypse.

However, this hurricane was obviously ineffective against a demigod, unable to even move its form. After a brief pause in mid-air, it quickly retreated.

Its flying speed was faster than Chen Shouyi’s running, approaching twice the speed of sound.

Even though it had just become a demigod and was ignorant about the use of demigod powers, relying on its instincts, it still exerted formidable strength.

Chen Shouyi lunged at nothing, and then his calf throbbed with pain once again.

Before he could attack, it again swiftly distanced itself.

Whether in the air or on the ground, its form was incredibly agile, moving as fast as lightning, every move subtly aligned with Original Force, completely on a different level than the demigods he encountered on Earth, and even far surpassing the God of Hunting.

"Damn it." Chen Shouyi boiled with rage, his temples pounding, veins bulging on his forehead: "Don’t let me catch you!"

He quickly suppressed his fury: "Calm down, I must calm down!"

...

In the ensuing battle, Chen Shouyi acted entirely like a clumsy and frantic giant, with each of his attacks being deftly avoided by the giant beast.

The wounds on his body grew more numerous, and soon he was drenched in blood.

His reactions also became increasingly sluggish.

The giant beast initially remained cautious, for the opponent’s attacks were excessively violent, making even its demigod form alarmed, but with successive hits, and the giant being defenseless, it gradually relaxed, its attacks becoming bolder, impatience growing in its heart.

Its form flickered, easily dodging a wildly kicking giant foot. Taking advantage when the giant seemed exhausted and staggered, it launched into the air like lightning toward the giant’s throat.

The giant seemed to raise its hand to block it, but in its eyes, the reaction was far too slow.

It’s the end!

It felt a surge of satisfaction, but the next moment, it caught a glimpse of cold sharpness in the giant’s eyes, seeing its forehead smashing towards it.

Crafty, treacherous giant!

It was all a façade!

Startled but not panicked, it prepared to dodge again immediately.

Previously, in even more perilous situations, it had evaded.

However, at that moment, the surrounding air suddenly solidified, causing its movement to halt almost imperceptibly, and before it could escape, two big hands clamped fiercely onto its body, like pinching a small puppy.

A series of bone-crushing sounds rang out like a string of firecrackers.

Chen Shouyi’s face twisted with ferocity, roaring: "Caught you!"
