Chapter 811: Chapter 397: One Man Weathers Hardships, Another Regresses to Old Age

Under the side effects brought by the Nirvana Bone, Heaven Master Chou showed signs of rapid aging.

In just a brief moment, his body hunched over.

Heaven Master Chou slowly lowered his head, his gaze falling on his withered hands covered in folds of wrinkled skin. His eyes instantly turned blood red, burning with intense fury and endless frustration.

After all, he was once a towering figure, one of the three great masters in the Heavenly Human Realm of the previous dynasty.

Having survived two exceptionally brutal battles against the Shura and the Demon Venerable by sheer luck was already an extraordinary feat.

He managed to find the Nirvana Bone to reconstruct his body, only to fail in the attempt.

Moreover, his cultivation, due to various unexpected twists, was unable to return to its peak state, leaving his strength greatly diminished.

Especially last time at Zhenxuan Mountain, he suffered yet another unforeseen injury, gravely damaging his Yuan Qi.

Even so, he was confident that with his remaining skills, dealing with Jiang Mo should be a simple matter.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a struggle.

This filled him with rage and resentment, leaving him utterly vexed and unable to vent his frustration.

"You brat, you forced me to do this!"

Heaven Master Chou roared in fury, his face twisted in savagery, gritting his teeth.

He swiftly moved his hands, forming one complicated Dharma Seal after another with incredible speed.

As the Dharma Seals took shape, his body began to swell as if being inflated, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a small giant over five meters tall.

The giant’s entire frame shimmered with runes, resembling a descending divine spirit, radiating an earth-shattering aura.

"Die!"

Heaven Master Chou raised his millstone-sized fist high into the air, smashing it toward Jiang Shouzhong.

The fist, carrying the power of a thousand tons, tore through the air with a deafening whoosh. Following it, circular sonic booms exploded in the atmosphere, producing an ear-splitting roar.

The tremendous force directly drove Jiang Shouzhong into the ground, leaving a massive crater in the earth instantly.

Jiang Shouzhong, who suffered the devastating blow, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face growing exceptionally pale.

"You brat, a mere ant dares to dream of shaking the heavens? Do you know that back in my prime, I slaughtered countless masters to claw my way to the Heavenly Human Realm?

And you? Hmph! If my cultivation were still at its peak, killing you... would merely be a flick of the finger!"

Heaven Master Chou bellowed with disdain, his gaze filled with contempt for Jiang Shouzhong.

But deep down, Heaven Master Chou’s heart was bleeding.

The use of this secret technique came with extreme backlash; his body might not recover for at least a year.

Seething with anger, Heaven Master Chou lashed out with a powerful kick.

The Cow Demon and Rat Demon, attempting to assist their master, didn’t even have time to react before they were sent flying by the overwhelming force of the kick, tumbling through the air and crashing far away.

"This old bastard is really hard to deal with."

Jiang Shouzhong forcefully wiped away the streak of glaring blood from the corner of his mouth, his brows tightly furrowed like two locked crevices.

The monstrous old man before him was incredibly powerful. If he tried to defeat him using ordinary means, it would clearly be impossible and would only put himself in greater danger.

At that moment, Jiang Shouzhong’s mind suddenly flashed like lightning, recalling the set of martial arts taught by the old ancestor of Huoyun Mountain.

Within the Eight Extremes Sky-Burning Fist, the truly devastating power lay in the Sky Burning Fist itself.

The punch emerges like a Flame Dragon, scorching the heavens and shattering nine layers.

This fist was akin to a Magic Treasure, eternally suspended in the sky above, its ultimate power awakened only through pure martial intent.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shouzhong no longer hesitated, taking a deep breath and planting his feet firmly.

He began to focus completely, channeling the Yuan Qi within his body.

A scorching energy surged from his Dantian, coursing through his meridians and pouring into his three hundred fifty-six acupoints in sequence.

The energy was blazing hot, like molten lava rushing through his body, seemingly ready to incinerate his flesh, bones, and entire being with burning fervor wherever it passed.

Jiang Shouzhong’s body emanated a visible layer of red heat.

As the heat intensified, it appeared from afar as though his entire form was engulfed in raging flames, radiating a suffocating and blistering aura.

At that same moment, a strange scene unfolded above the cactus.

A massive, fire-red fist gradually materialized in the sky.

"Fist Burning Sky!"

Jiang Shouzhong gritted his teeth, unleashing a powerful punch toward Heaven Master Chou.

The colossal, fire-red fist broke free from the constraints of the sky, hurtling straight downward.

Its speed was astonishing, its momentum overwhelming, like a massive meteor descending with deafening force, carrying infinite destructive power.

The fist initially passed through the towering cactus in an ethereal state. Then, it instantly solidified, radiating intense heat like a roaring fiery giant beast, surging toward Heaven Master Chou.

"This is..."

Heaven Master Chou’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably, his expression filled with shock and fear.

He never expected that Jiang Shouzhong could execute such a terrifyingly powerful move.

Feeling the overwhelmingly violent aura, the instinct to escape screamed wildly in Heaven Master Chou’s mind.

He turned, attempting to flee the scene.

But the immense, fire-red fist was already barreling down with the might of the heavens, leaving him no chance to escape. Its speed was so intense it denied even a shred of opportunity to evade.

With no other choice, Heaven Master Chou clenched his teeth and decided to fight for his life.

"Boom!"

With a resounding explosion, the ground beneath his feet succumbed to the enormous impact, fracturing inch by inch as cracks spread rapidly like spiderwebs.
