Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 454 - 428: Legend (Part 1)

What a fierce little creature.

But Chen Shouyi still didn’t dare to provoke this little tyrant, and quickly tried to calm her down.

Lately, her strength has been increasing, and getting bitten by her is quite painful, especially on sensitive and thin-skinned parts.

Like her favorite, the ears.

After getting the Shell Lady settled, Chen Shouyi lit the gasoline lamp.

He then took a sword and cut off a piece of meat, about five pounds, tore off a chunk, and chewed vigorously.

Now that his strength had reached eighteen points, the demigod’s flesh no longer felt as tough and impossible to bite through as it used to!

The fresh flesh was ground between his teeth with a terrifying crunching sound.

The Shell Lady licked a few times and then stared dumbfounded at the golden-red divine blood oozing from the corner of Chen Shouyi’s mouth.

"Good Giant, is it tasty?" The Shell Lady couldn’t help but ask.

"Not tasty at all!" Chen Shouyi swallowed the meat, said, and continued to tear into it.

"Oh!" The Shell Lady dumbly nodded, then turned to pitifully lick the blood streaks on the meat, soon looking back at Chen Shouyi:

"Good Giant, really not tasty?" she confirmed again.

"Yeah, not tasty." Chen Shouyi said with a muffled voice as he chewed on the meat.

The demigod’s flesh was tastier than imagined.

Even though it was raw, there was no muttony or fishy taste at all.

While chewing, his mouth watered, full of fresh aroma, juices overflowing, and perhaps being rich in Divine Power, eating it brought an intense sense of pleasure, making one feel euphoric.

Of course, if only it could be flavored with some soy sauce, the taste would undoubtedly be even better.

But even in its original flavor, it was a top delicacy, unmatched by any other ingredient.

If there is, it might just be a True God.

He had only eaten half of the large piece of meat when his body began to heat up.

His ability to digest the demigod’s flesh had become increasingly strong, and he immediately sped up, devouring the rest.

Then he posed and began his training.

This time, he felt an even stronger sensation, a vague grasp of a certain opportunity as if his body’s transformation was looming, yet it always felt slightly out of reach.

Half an hour passed, and until the effects of the demigod’s flesh faded, he hadn’t made a breakthrough, thwarted at the last step.

"I still don’t believe it," Chen Shouyi looked at the remaining piece of demigod flesh on the desk, growing determined in his heart.

...

In an underground parking lot.

A large gathering of Barbarians, densely packed in a crowd.

The surroundings were silent and solemn, the atmosphere somber and heavy.

An old Barbarian with ears and neck laden with ornaments, holding a crystalline bone staff, looked upward at the concrete above, worry etched on his face. His gaze seemed to pierce through the concrete layer, seeing the cold, bright moonlight outside.

"Has Laiya not returned?" he asked softly.

A bald, muscular totemic Barbarian beside him bent low and respectfully said, "Leader, he hasn’t returned yet!"

"He must already be dead! Don’t wait any longer, let’s proceed with the ritual!" the leader said flatly.

The bald Barbarian felt a heavy heart but didn’t ask more questions; even their Lord had been badly hurt and left in slumber by this world’s Alien Race, not to mention a legend like him. Since he’s not back by now, it clearly means he’s dead.

"Yes!"

Thousands of Barbarians quietly moved deeper into the parking lot.

Each fighting on their own, the Barbarians were scattered across Pingzhou; now, gathering them here had achieved this extent of numbers.

The bloody scent gradually grew pungent, along with a touch of frightening oppression.

Many Barbarians began showing signs of fear, yet still trudged forward. Rounding a corner, a massive Giant lay ahead.

A creeping, eerie aura emanated from its body, with a mountain of countless human corpses piled beside it.

Hundreds of unconscious humans were dragged out by the Barbarians.

They were then one by one, had their throats slit. The bewildered souls barely left the bodies before being shattered by the oppressive force, transforming into invisible fine light spots, drawn to the Giant’s forehead ahead.

"Oh Great Lord, your power is vast and boundless, your glory shines across Tamu, you are supreme, you are the most merciful Father, I pray for your slumber to cease, awaken quickly!" The leader prostrated and loudly prayed.

Thousands of Barbarians in the parking lot similarly knelt, loudly praying over and over.

The long ritual lasting an hour ended, leaving the leader’s old body trembling slightly, face full of confusion and fatigue.

"Oh Great Lord, if you continue to slumber, you will have no chance to awaken!" the leader thought despairingly.

In warfare, they could no longer sustain it.

Even their faith in their Lord was collapsing like an avalanche.

They really couldn’t hold on much longer!

Even hundreds of human sacrifices were brought here extremely carefully under the cover of darkness, fearing being discovered by human planes in the sky and exposing the location, leading to the dropping of Devil’s weapons.

He didn’t notice that as he turned away, the once immobile gigantic Giant suddenly had a momentary twitch in its finger.

...

Inside a hotel room!

Chen Shouyi cut off a large piece of demigod flesh fiercely.

The portion easily weighed fifteen pounds, more than he’d ever eaten at once.

"This time, I refuse to believe I won’t break through!" Chen Shouyi thought to himself.

He then cut the meat into over a hundred small pieces and swallowed them one by one without chewing.

By the time he was halfway through, he already felt full!

Yet he remained expressionless as he continued to swallow the meat.

After downing fifteen pounds of meat, he couldn’t help but burp. Were it not for his inner stillness training having reached the stage of organ refinement, stopping his stomach from regurgitating, he almost threw up.

The food was already digesting.

The Energy contained in the demigod’s flesh began to gradually release.

Chen Shouyi rubbed his bloated belly, feeling as if flames were burning within, within moments, feeling an overwhelming thirst and agitation as if his body was about to ignite.

He exhaled a hot stream of air.

His flushed face bore a strange excitement.

"This is the feeling!"

Not daring to delay, he immediately started practicing the Horizontal Training Thirty-Six Style.

But this time, he’d consumed so much demigod flesh that the Horizontal Training Thirty-Six Style couldn’t vent the energy released after digesting the demigod’s flesh.

His skin turned red, his body steaming, emitting an intense high temperature, seemingly unable to withstand the excess Energy, beginning to swell.

His entire body felt a slight tingling pain.

A fierce aura spread out.

The Shell Lady sensed the abnormality behind her, turning dully, worry in her heart: "Bad Giant, you seem so scary!"

...

As time went by, the situation grew more severe, his entire body becoming larger.

"Am I going to explode?"

A trace of hesitation crossed Chen Shouyi’s mind, but he gritted his teeth and continued practicing.

Just a little more!

He could feel that he was getting closer to the opportunity, just a step away from becoming a legend.
