Thud!
More than half an hour passed in bone-deep agony as his tendons were stretched to their limit.
At last, the familiar sound of the Dao rang out.

Soaked through, Jiang Chen lay sprawled on the bed as if his body had fallen apart, gasping for breath.
Every breakthrough in the Divine Phoenix Nirvana Sutra subjected him to inhuman torment.
And the higher the chapter, the worse the pain became.
Even with his resolve, he sometimes wanted to give up.

The sutra's core purpose was to bring about nirvana and transform the body.
