Jackie Chan: The Supreme Sorcerer, invited by his father to come out of seclusion

Chapter 144 Donning the Undying God's Armor! Fierce Battle Against the Earth Demon!
The Holy Lord, or Valon, showed no fear on his face.

He even took two steps forward, a cold yet elegant smile playing on his lips.

“Di Kui, my…brother.”

The Holy Lord's voice carried a feigned warmth: "Please calm down."

He pointed to the Pangu Box in Zhou's hand, "See this? This is the key to our regaining our freedom."

"The Gates of Hell are not just for you and me; there are other brothers and sisters who need the power of this treasure box to free them one by one from that damned cage."

The Holy Lord's tone was full of seduction, "Once we brothers and sisters are all gathered together and our strength is restored, won't this tiny planet be at our disposal?"

"At that time, let alone a single underground palace, what difficulty would it be for you to sink the entire continent underground?"

Di Kui's green flame eyes flickered a few times, as if he was digesting the Holy Lord's words.

The Holy Lord's words sound... somewhat reasonable.

"Humph."

Di Kui let out a muffled nasal sound, barely accepting the explanation, "Then I will wait for now."

His massive body suddenly sank!
"Rumble--"

The hard stone plaza was easily shattered by him, like tofu. Soil churned, rocks cracked, and the massive body of the Earth Demon, like a beast diving into water, swiftly sank into the depths of the earth. Leaving behind only a bottomless, earthy-smelling hole, and… a scene of utter devastation.

"Let's go." The Holy Lord didn't even glance at the cave, turned around, and his cold gaze swept over his three subordinates. "To the next location."

……

"Coordinates sent, Jackie Chan!"

"Just in the northeast corner of the square in front of you, keep walking, and there's an abandoned area that's full of flowers!"

Sheriff Blake's voice came through the communicator, tinged with urgency.

"Roger that!"

Jackie Chan responded, put away his communicator, and turned his gaze to the dilapidated ancient area not far away, shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun and the shadows of the city.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his unease, and quickly moved towards the direction where the demon was, wearing the divine armor.

Footsteps echoed softly and hurriedly on the ancient stone path.

However, just as he was about to approach the area shown by the satellite...
"boom--!!!"

The ground in front of him suddenly exploded!

Gravel and soil shot into the sky like a volcanic eruption!

A massive, ferocious figure, entirely made of rock and earth, burst forth from the ground with a deafening roar! It stood directly between Jackie Chan and the road!
Dikui!

Those burning green eyes instantly locked onto Jackie Chan!
"Humanity?!"

The Earth Demon roared in a low voice, filled with a destructive will, "It's you again... troublesome insect!"

His massive, rocky claws, like battering rams, slammed down on Jackie Chan!

The strong wind it generated made Jackie Chan's cheeks sting!

Jackie Chan's pupils contracted sharply. Without thinking, he rolled over like a lazy donkey and narrowly avoided the fatal blow!
"boom!"

The giant claw slammed into the ground, shattering the stone slab into pieces and leaving a terrifying deep crater!

"so close!"

Jackie Chan, still shaken, quickly got up and assumed a defensive stance.

The Earth Demon missed its attack. Seemingly even more enraged, it roared, its massive body charging towards Jackie Chan like a runaway bulldozer!

Wherever it went, the ground cracked and rocks flew everywhere!
Jackie Chan kept dodging, using the surrounding broken walls and stone pillars as cover, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

But the power of the Earth Demon was too great. Every impact seemed to shake the earth, and he simply could not withstand it head-on!

"boom!"

Jackie Chan was hit on the shoulder by a huge flying rock, and his whole body flew backwards towards the ground like a kite with a broken string!

"Ugh!"

He crashed heavily into the mottled, ancient wall of the church, feeling as if his internal organs had been dislocated, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

Vision is somewhat blurry.
He struggled to lift his head, only to see the enormous figure of the Earth Demon approaching!

Those eyes, burning with green flames, were filled with cruel killing intent.
At this critical moment, Jackie Chan caught a glimpse of the armored vehicle that had been flung a short distance away by the wave, out of the corner of his eye!
It was a suit of armor... covered in dust, with an antique style, yet faintly radiating a golden light...
Battle armor!

The armor of an immortal god!
My father's words instantly echoed in my mind!
No time to think too much.

Driven by his survival instinct, Jackie Chan used his last bit of strength to lunge towards the suit of armor!

Almost the instant he touched the armor, the Earth Demon's giant claw, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, roared towards him!

"Om-!"

A gentle yet incredibly resilient golden light suddenly burst forth from the armor!
Like a golden bubble, it instantly enveloped Jackie Chan!

"clang--!!!"

The Earth Demon's giant claw slammed heavily onto the golden light barrier! The sound was no longer the muffled thud of shattering rock, but rather a…

Like the sound of a great bell being struck, a clear and resounding clang of metal against metal!

The massive body of the Earth Demon was actually shaken by the recoil and staggered back several steps!

Even a tiny crack appeared on his rock-like claws!

For the first time, astonishment appeared in the green flames in their eyes!
As the light shield dissipated, Jackie Chan found himself completely enveloped in that ancient armor. The cold, hard texture carried an indescribable, warm, and sacred power that flowed continuously into his limbs and bones.

It dispelled the pain and fatigue.

He moved his hands and feet and felt his body filled with unprecedented strength!
Jackie Chan raised his head, his gaze piercing through the menacing mask of the armor, and staring directly at the astonished Di Kui.
"It seems..."

Jackie Chan's voice, carried through his armor, took on a metallic quality: "This time, it's my turn to fight back!"

He suddenly pushed off the ground, his figure like a golden lightning bolt, and charged towards Di Kui!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Jackie Chan, clad in divine armor, engages in a fierce battle with the earth demon Di Kui in front of this abandoned ancient church!

The golden fist, each swing accompanied by a whooshing sound, slammed into the Earth Demon's hard rock body, sending up a shower of debris and golden sparks of energy!
Although the Earth Demon's claws and charges were still powerful and heavy, they could no longer easily knock Jackie Chan away as before.

That golden armor seemed to have a life of its own, always able to dissipate most of the impact at the most critical moments.

For a time, the fight was evenly matched, with neither side able to gain the upper hand!
The more Di Kui fought, the more frightened he became, and the more violent he grew!

He could sense that the human in front of him, wearing strange armor, was becoming increasingly powerful!
And I, having just broken free from the shackles of hell, haven't fully recovered my strength yet. If this continues...

No! We absolutely cannot let ourselves be held back by a mere human!
Di Kui suddenly took a step back, creating distance. His burning green eyes were fixed on Jackie Chan's golden armor, flashing a hint of determination and... madness!
"Humans..." the Earth Demon roared in a low voice, like a curse from hell, "You forced me to do this!"

His massive body began to exude an aura that was completely different from before—darker, more evil, and more chilling!
In the air, it seemed as if some ancient and distorted chanting was being sung!

That's... a black curse?!
