Chapter 1225: 653: The Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s Frenzied Pursuit! Nowhere to Run! (Part 2)

Run! Just run!

His only option now is to flee to the vicinity of the Chaotic Demon Sea, waiting for the strong from the Human Clan to rescue him.

Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s massive claw had already raised, the claw tip converging to a point of crimson light, so compressed with destructive energy that space itself was collapsing inward.

Can’t resist it any longer, must use the force!

Jiang Shu’s mind was as fast as lightning; the moment Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s giant claw slammed down, he didn’t retreat but advanced instead, his body like a willow in a fierce wind. He took an extremely risky move, twisting his body to bring forth the devouring and desolate dao rhyme mixed with the blood and qi in his right arm, and violently pushed against the side of the descending giant claw.

"Bang!"

An insanely violent force, enough to shatter stars, crashed against Jiang Shu’s right arm.

The bones in Jiang Shu’s right arm emitted a series of cracking sounds, full of fractures. The Devouring Dao was operating frantically, swallowing a portion of the transmitted violent flames and impact force, forcibly converting them into power usable by Jiang Shu.

And he, taking advantage of this destructive propulsion, was hurled backward like an arrow shot from a massive Divine Bow, heading away from Split Stone City towards the outskirts of Thousand Streams Creek.

The area was filled with towering mountains, the most complex terrain surrounding here.

Boom!

The place where he once stood, along with the sewage marsh in the core of Thousand Streams Creek, had been hammered by Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s claw, creating a bottomless pit covering several miles.

The walls of the pit were smooth like a mirror, with molten edges.

The remnants of the Golden Roc and the roaring Ice Chi that fell there didn’t even have time to scream before they were turned into flying ash, annihilated into nothingness under this absolute power.

These two demons didn’t die at Jiang Shu’s hands; instead, they were killed by Heaven-Burning Ancestor.

A flash of surprise passed through the crimson eyes of Heaven-Burning Ancestor, quickly replaced by even more violent anger.

This brat, not only didn’t he die, but he dared to use his force to run even further?

"Slippery rat!"

Heaven-Burning Ancestor roared, his massive lava body quivered fiercely, and the enormous fiery wings that covered the sky unfolded with a boom.

With a flash of fire, his enormous body transformed into a red stream of light piercing through the heavens, burning a lingering red pathway through the sky wherever it passed. The tops of the mountains below melted instantly like wax meets flame.

The speed was far beyond any of Jiang Shu’s previous teleportations.

The distance between him and that green shadow up front was rapidly closing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The violent air currents mixed with scorching heat that could incinerate all existence almost ignited the flesh on Jiang Shu’s back.

Every breath felt like inhaling scorching slag, with a burning pain coming from his lungs.

The wound on his left scapula continued to throb in pain; the remaining Geng Metal Annihilation Power was still wreaking havoc, and the terrifying heat radiated by Heaven-Burning Ancestor during the pursuit made his Daoist Body feel as if it were in a furnace.

In front of him was a sudden and steep rocky forest, with jagged rocks and intersecting crevices between the peaks, forming extremely complex terrain.

A flicker of fierce determination flashed in Jiang Shu’s eyes, and he twisted his body in mid-air without hesitation, diving sharply towards the densest and sharpest area of rock peaks.

"Trying that trick again?"

Heaven-Burning Ancestor sneered, his gigantic red wings casually flapped.

Several crimson beams as thick as a hundred meters shot down accurately like divine fire spears, hitting Jiang Shu’s unavoidable path ahead with pinpoint precision.

Those towering and menacing rock peaks, facing the Flame of Burning World, shattered like sandcastles on a beach, instantly pierced through. The massive shockwaves whipped with high-temperature debris swept back like a storm, completely sealing off Jiang Shu’s attempt to evade through the stone peaks!

Jiang Shu navigated narrowly through the rain of flying molten rock shards, with his Protective Dao Gang flickering intensely. The small fragments of stone hammered the invisible barrier surrounding him like a rain of bullets, producing a dense cascade of explosive sounds.

His face was already as pale as gold paper, with the World Tree Seedling in the Mixed Cave Space constantly swaying its Creation Clear Light, repairing his flesh, purifying the invading fiery toxins, and desperately mending the torn Space Law perception.

He must think of a way, or else, if this passive escape continues, he will be caught and torn apart in less than a hundred miles!

Jiang Shu gritted his teeth fiercely. Upon passing through a relatively open, scorched abyss gouged by the Heaven-Burning flames, he endured the excruciating pain of his Divine Soul tearing, forcibly plunging his Divine Sense into the depths of the Mixed Cave Space!

A seemingly unremarkable dao talisman, imbued with an icy and shattering aura, was activated by him.

It was a life-saving item gifted to him by Luo Venerable when he attained the Venerable Realm, the "Mystic Ice Talisman" which condensed a wisp of Earth Vein Power from the depths of the Cosmic.

Jiang Shu originally intended to use it to comprehend the Path of Taiyin Cold Evil, but it had now become a tool for counterattack!

"Explode!"

Without looking back, he flicked the dao talisman at the Heaven-Burning streak of light relentlessly pursuing him from behind.

Whoosh!

The talisman, as fine as dust, instantly appeared before Heaven-Burning Ancestor.

The massive red vertical pupils of Heaven-Burning Ancestor flickered with rage as he was provoked by an ant, not even bothering to dodge and spewing forth a breath of burning world fire.

Flames capable of melting Divine Gold could surely obliterate this insignificant chill.

However, just as the crimson breath touched the Mystic Ice Talisman.

BOOM!!

The Mystic Ice Talisman shuddered intensely before rapidly collapsing inward, then unleashed an insidious and extreme power of spatial destruction.

This power was cunning, not directly confronting the attack from Heaven-Burning Ancestor, but suddenly tearing and disturbing the space law circulating firmly around him like the heavens!

The Space Dao Principles became chaotic in an instant, and Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s massive fiery body, like a celestial ark speeding at high velocity, abruptly plunged into an invisible marshy bog.

The supreme speed tearing through the void was stalled for a moment!

This momentary delay caused by Jiang Shu’s talisman was negligible for Heaven-Burning Ancestor, akin to a person slightly tripping on a pebble while running, lasting less than half a blink of an eye.

But to Jiang Shu, this forcibly created insignificant gap was like the last piece of driftwood grasped by a drowning person.

"Now!"

Jiang Shu remained incredibly calm in his heart.

The more perilous the situation, the more unprecedented potential and combat power he could unleash.

The ominous light emanating from the Shui Huan Gloves forcibly stabilized the nearby space nodes scorched and frail from Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s presence.

He once again forcibly activated the Space Escape Technique, his figure blurring instantly. When he reappeared, he was hundreds of miles away on the shaded side of a mountain ridge, only to disappear once more.

He dared not pause, each flicker pushed his comprehension of space and residual power to the limit. Every appearance was only a fleeting moment in desolate, turbulent energy zones where scarcely any human presence lingered.

The route was extremely cunning, never in a straight line but along rolling hills, deep gorges, and even the tumultuous, brimming with erratic energy underground rivers, advancing in a serpentine path.

Heaven-Burning Ancestor regained his peak speed the instant after the spatial disturbance dissipated.

But Jiang Shu was like a desperate fugitive, continuously igniting his blood and qi for consecutive short jumps. Along with the complex and changeable terrain obstacles, it momentarily bewildered his pursuit.

Several times, the crimson streak locked onto Jiang Shu’s qi mechanism in mid-air, only to have the target’s aura suddenly appear in another direction — deep within a mountain cave, beneath an ice river crevice, or even at the edge of an underground abyss seething with marsh gas.

"Damn it, how on earth did this beast comprehend the Space Dao, wielding so much Power of Great Dao to squander like this?!"

Heaven-Burning Ancestor’s roar shook several mountains along the way, sending countless rocks rolling down.

Each time his aim was disrupted by space’s short-distance traversing and lost its target.

The fury in his heart built with each delay, the boiling killing intent almost materialized, tearing apart patches of space before him.

Transforming into terrifying space turbulence.

The two, one in front, one chasing behind, sped like comets across the vast earth.

Wherever they passed, forests burned, the earth scorched, rivers evaporated, leaving a desolate sight!
