The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

That night, countless people suffered from insomnia due to fear, and many more perished in the disaster.

Four meteorites struck in quick succession, giving the people of D City no chance to catch their breath. Like a trampoline, the entire city bounced around.

Reinforced concrete simply cannot withstand such stimulation, and the sounds of high-rise buildings collapsing are incessant.

If it weren't for the fact that after racialization, all the surviving ordinary people broke through their physical limits and could improve their physical fitness simply by eating and drinking, this small outbreak would probably have caused heavy casualties in D City, with less than one in ten surviving.

Ji Chen only oversaw the rescue work for the first half of the night, and then withdrew in the second half.

It wasn't that he didn't care, but rather that the mutated beasts in the wilderness had completely rioted due to the impact of such a natural disaster.

Even though many of them have reached the level of intelligence that humans have, when faced with disaster, they are still like savages in primitive societies, kneeling and worshipping like headless flies in fear and terror.

This is naturally a futile effort.

Then, in the next few rounds of meteorite impacts, they completely lost their rationality and engaged in frantic fighting.

The beast tide, unsurprisingly, erupted.

If D City had a small population, it wouldn't matter. In the open area, once the beasts had overcome their fear and regained their senses, they would naturally disperse when faced with an unsuitable environment.

But D City still has a population of several hundred thousand.

At the same time, even if humans do not have the strength to match third-tier creatures, their initial racial rank makes human flesh extremely attractive.

Previously, these mutated beasts possessed rationality, were able to assess the firepower and value of D City, evaluate risks, and would not attempt anything lightly.

But now...

"Immediately halt city rescue operations and order all armed forces to hold the perimeter of the containment wall!"

"Armored forces advance, the isolation wall cracks, you are the new isolation wall, you will never retreat, even if it means death!"

"Behind you lies your last home. If you retreat, your families and friends will all become tomorrow's excrement!"

"Don't hold back, bomb as many missiles as you can, blast them all!"

. . . . . .

Ji Chen threw all the struggles and roars behind him to the back of his mind, unleashed his full power, and charged straight into the beast tide, targeting the troublesome mutated beasts.

Bang!

The colossal beast, standing ten meters tall and thirty meters long, with its menacing fangs, crushed numerous mutated beasts along its path, leaving trails of blood and mud beneath its feet.

Even though they had lost their minds, many of the mutated beasts still intentionally or unintentionally avoided the giant beast, letting it roam freely on the land.

As the isolation wall drew closer, the giant beast's eyes turned bloodshot. It kicked its hind hooves slightly, accompanied by a heavy 'whoosh' sound, and the white mist it exhaled gathered in front of it.

dong dong!

The ground trembled slightly as it charged towards the isolation wall, braving the barrage of machine gun fire.

"Aaaaaah... ..."

On the isolation wall, several soldiers let out desperate roars, ignoring the machine gun recoil that had cracked their hands and caused their bones to vibrate, they still held on with all their might, hoping to break through the beast's hard hide at the last moment.

Da da da da—

Ding ding ding ding—

The behemoth was fearless, blindfolded, and bullets struck its hard skin with a clanging sound, sparks flying, but it couldn't break through its defenses at all.

And so, its hard skull slammed against the isolation wall.

Bang—Crack!

The next moment, the soldiers on the isolation wall, already exhausted, lost their footing and were shaken off. Two of them were unlucky enough to fall directly into the beast horde and become a pool of blood on the ground.

At the point of impact, the barrier wall cracked, developing alarming fissures, and might collapse completely at the next blow.

Just when all hope seemed lost, the last soldier remaining on the isolation wall opened his bloodied and mangled eye, and a dark shadow appeared in the blink of an eye.

With his trench coat fluttering in the wind, Ji Chen's eyes flashed like lightning as he rapidly approached the giant beast.

His hair was stained with blood, and his trench coat was as black as ink. In less than half an hour, he had killed eight top-tier mutated beasts of the third rank.

Even so, faced with the overwhelming beast tide, his little counterattack was nothing more than robbing Peter to pay Paul, leaving holes everywhere.

Sure enough, before anyone could react, another giant beast caused irreparable damage to the isolation wall.

Ji Chen's palm surged with internal energy, and a dazzling light burst forth. Suddenly, a layer of pale golden light appeared on his palm. The light expanded continuously as his internal energy flowed, and eventually condensed into a semi-transparent giant hand phantom in his palm.

As the dragon's energy surged and shifted, the giant hand suddenly transformed into a dragon claw.

— The dragon claw has five thick fingers with distinct joints, as if it were cast from bronze. There are also wisps of energy between the claws. When the energy surges, the earth and rocks crack, and wind and thunder follow.

This palm strike combines the power of the Dragon Roar Palm, the Cloud Dragon Force, and the Star-Picking Hand, making it capable of easily destroying gold and jade.

The giant beast, symbolized by cattle, had its hair standing on end, and a strong sense of danger made it instinctively want to retreat.

But it was too late; its speed was far slower than Ji Chen's.

With a "ripping" sound, the dragon claw tore through the tough skin on the giant beast's body.

"Moo!"

In pain, the behemoth cried out, its hard skull radiating light, causing its entire airtight skeleton to transform into a metallic form.

It was still no use. The dragon claws gripped its head, and like a hot knife cutting through butter, it ignored its hard bones and crushed its entire head!

Blood splattered, and the mountain-sized beast collapsed to the ground, causing it to tremble slightly.

After making his move, Ji Chen charged headlong into the next powerful creature he sensed.

If any mutated beasts blocked his way, he treated them like blocks of tofu, piercing them with bloody holes that were transparent from front to back.

The soldiers on the isolation wall were dumbfounded.

Although he knew there were powerful experts in the city, seeing them with his own eyes was still quite shocking.

The behemoth, whose hide couldn't be pierced even by machine guns, was instantly killed by the expert reinforcements with a single move, its body torn apart. Its power was terrifying.

You have to understand that even those superhumans these days can't necessarily take down ordinary mutated beasts with certainty; they can only harass giant beasts!

A chasm-like gap.

Watching the aloof and powerful figure who had already departed, capable of slaying a hundred beasts in ten steps and leaving no trace for a thousand miles, a new hope suddenly welled up in his heart, which had long been filled with despair.

That night, Ji Chen went into a frenzy of killing, unleashing wave after wave of dragon claws that terrified the giant beast, causing it to regain its senses. The beast would flee at the mere sight of the dragon claw phantom, not daring to linger.

All the armed personnel guarding D City were shocked; the difference between people was boundless.

They were a beast tide that even heavy firepower could not withstand, and whose defenses were repeatedly breached, yet they feared and retreated in the face of that powerful being.

They could only passively defend themselves behind the isolation wall, while Ji Chen could take the initiative and attack, treating the beast tide as nothing. Each time he went in and out, it was a new beginning. He went in and out repeatedly, each time until the blood flowed like a tide.

Even in despair, there is a glimmer of hope. Ji Chen, the true demon, has taken up the mantle of righteousness.

hum-

Fighter jets swooped down at low altitude, roaring overhead as they dropped bombs like they were free.

After dropping the bombs, a fleeting look of satisfaction crossed the pilot's eyes as he prepared to take off and return to the city to reload.

But in an instant, a huge rock was thrown from the wilderness, hitting the fighter jet that was trying to dodge it precisely, and bursting into a fireball in the night sky.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and stopped in the midst of the beast tide.

The next second, a huge black gorilla, like a king on a high throne, jumped heavily off a towering tree.

The ground suddenly trembled violently, and the cracks spread outwards from the point of impact. The road surface, which had been flattened by the beast horde, was torn apart as if by an invisible giant hand, and gravel and dust rose into the air amidst the tremors.

The fifty-meter-tall black gorilla pounded its chest with all its might, creating a thunderous sound. The mutated beasts in front of the gorilla seemed to go mad and began to mutilate themselves in response to the sound.

The sound swept across the area, spreading towards D City.

Ji Chen naturally dared not let this voice come out of nowhere, otherwise, all his efforts tonight would have been in vain.

He took a deep breath, like a whale swallowing the sea, taking in all the bloody and rusty air around him. His blood and energy surged, and his true strength flowed like a river into his chest.

hold head high--!

The next moment, his high-rising chest suddenly collapsed, and a clear and stirring dragon roar burst forth, shaking the surrounding area and instantly shattering the dull drumming sound of the black ape!

The black gorilla thumped its chest, its drumming arm tapping intermittently twice as if it hadn't quite caught up. It blinked its two 'little eyes' and stared blankly at the little dwarf standing quietly under the high wall in the distance.

The next second, it was panting heavily through its large nostrils, spewing out hot steam; it was furious.

What little thing dares to challenge its kingly majesty?

It is the newly crowned king of the wilderness, a fourth-order evolved creature, a powerful being that even mutated beasts that have fallen into a frenzy and lost their minds must keep their distance from.

Who is this person who provoked it?

Did you think that killing a few inferior creatures would make you bar your teeth at it?

dong dong——

The earth shook violently, and a black gorilla charged forward, intending to crush Ji Chen into tomato juice with a single punch.

Its arms were bulging with muscles, and with each step it took, it crushed two deep dents in the ground, causing the ground to crack and splinter under its feet.

Its primal and domineering aura caused the surrounding mutated beasts to freeze instantly, forgetting even to run away, and allowing it to smash them into a bloody pulp.

On the isolation wall, all the soldiers held their breath, sweat dripping from their chins, closely watching the battle.

Zhang Jing stepped out of the guard circle, clenching his fists nervously until his nails dug into his flesh, drawing blood, but he seemed oblivious to it.

He may have had thoughts of rebelling against Ji Chen and regaining power before, but at this moment, he is the one who most wants Ji Chen to be invincible.

Ji Chen didn't stand still and passively wait for the black gorilla to attack. Instead, he stepped forward and charged towards the fourth-tier creature in front of him.

The evolution speed of alien evolutionary creatures is beyond imagination. In Ji Chen's vision, the transition from the third to the fourth order was originally a major hurdle that could stop 99% of the world's evolutionary creatures, becoming a chasm that divides the food chain.

But now, just one month after the virus began to rage and the mutation started, some evolved creatures have gone against the tide and successfully advanced to the fourth tier.

Ji Chen sprinted at supersonic speed, like a streak of black light, tearing through the sky; his fists were unstoppable.

Boom!

The black gorilla swung its fist, its surging muscles rolling like iron, and its fist, more than five times the size of Ji Chen's, clashed with Ji Chen's.

Despite being made of flesh and blood, the collision of the two produced a resounding boom like a great bell, echoing throughout the surrounding area.

Ji Chen's vision blurred, and the scene before him changed rapidly.

The gorilla's domineering and boundless strength sent him flying like a meteor with a single punch, piercing through the isolation wall. The concrete wall crumbled like tofu, and amidst the billowing dust, Ji Chen crashed into four tall buildings before finally stopping his momentum.

"Commander!"

"don't want!"

Just as the crowd watching the battle began to gasp, Ji Chen had already gotten up unharmed and rushed back to the original battlefield in an instant.

His strength and defense were actually comparable to the black gorilla's, and his attack power was even stronger. However, in a head-on collision, Ji Chen, who had no weight to support him, was the one who was blasted away.

But he lost face, and the black gorilla didn't fare well either.

The black gorilla's eyes were wide open, and the middle finger of its clenched fist was bent abnormally, with bloodstains splattered on it.

call--

With its nostrils flaring, the black gorilla finally got serious, realizing that its opponent in this battle was not some tiny insect it could easily manipulate, but a ferocious beast in human skin!

Ji Chen didn't delay. After experiencing the power of the black gorilla, he immediately changed his strategy.

He no longer used his full strength to fight head-on, but instead used seven-tenths of his strength to launch a powerful attack, reserving three-tenths of his strength for maneuvering and defense. His moves were short and swift, in order to entangle his opponent and engage in hit-and-run tactics.

Sand and stones flew, and a fierce energy surged. Within a radius of a thousand meters, flesh and blood flew everywhere, giant trees were broken, and countless leaves danced in the air.

A series of claw shadows form a 2D animation, covering the entire black gorilla from all directions.

The black gorilla was riddled with holes, its body covered in thick, hot blood, driving it to madness and causing it to roar incessantly.

In its eyes, Ji Chen's short, two-legged beast was not only incredibly strong, but also so fast that it was constantly on its feet, unable to keep up with its surroundings, and was injured all over. Its agility was terrifying.

Even if it manages to hit, Ji Chen's body will unleash a strange counterattack force, which, combined with Ji Chen's own attack power, causes it excruciating pain.

This guy is even more troublesome than a hedgehog.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Ji Chen's fist imprint collided head-on with the black gorilla's heavy punch.

This collision was almost as powerful as the first one, like a thunderous explosion. In the vast wilderness, a sudden gust of wind arose, forming a tornado that spun wildly, tearing away the soil and uprooting the vegetation.

The black gorilla panicked and ripped a bloody hole in its right fist, howling in agony.

The black gorilla glanced at Ji Chen with fear, then abandoned all prestige and turned to leave.

Ji Chen naturally wouldn't let it leave so easily. He chased after it as it ran, with tornadoes following behind, sweeping across the fields like a sandstorm.

"My God, the commander won! The commander has won!"

Zhang Jing's face flushed with excitement. Even though Ji Chen had gradually disappeared from their sight, she was still awestruck by his heroic feat.

"Quick! Quick! The other mutated beasts have been suppressed by the commander. Now's the time to advance the battle line!"

The other soldiers were also amazed.

Just now, the black gorilla casually smashed the helicopter down; its leap shook the mountains and rivers; and its chest pounded, causing all the beasts to go berserk, demonstrating its brutality.

Once such a behemoth makes its move, the entire city is destined to fall and become a living hell.

The soldiers were in high spirits, their adrenaline was surging, and they forgot all their fatigue, sounding the horn for a counterattack.
