The Purgatory Calamity

Chapter 260: Chapter 245 Alien God_1

Pang Jian observed in secret.

When he activated the "Burrowing" talent of the Mysterious Turtle shell, as long as he stayed underground without moving, his Qi and Blood consumption wasn’t too severe.

He dared to remain still, but the bald evil cultivator on the surface did not dare to stay put, constantly repeating the strange posture of soaring and landing.

——This situation was clearly to Pang Jian’s advantage.

"Evil cultivator..."

Without any hurry to make a move, Pang Jian’s palm produced a withered leaf.

Infusing it with a thread of Spiritual Power, he squinted and perceived silently, noticing the Spiritual Power slowly flowing along the natural veins of the leaf.

The leaf suddenly released an aura that made all vitality wither and die.

All beings, everything, seemed destined to destruction and withering under the malevolent power within the leaf.

Pang Jian frowned as he comprehended the dead silence and withering evils within.

He found that because of his Spiritual Power, which was the source of the power that activated the veins of the leaf, the withering evil force emerging from the leaf did not affect him.

"Huh!"

He then took out the smooth piece of Beast Skin.

Following the proper method, he once again infused his Spiritual Power, and saw the originally smooth Beast Skin develop wrinkles, like the part just below the neck of some Ferocious Beast.

A dark green miasma suddenly diffused, "sizzling" as it corroded his flesh, but it was blocked by his body, which was like coated in silver, neutralizing much of the poison.

"This actually hits indiscriminately."

Pang Jian’s expression changed, and he hurriedly stopped infusing Spiritual Power and began dealing with the trace amounts of potent poison that had infiltrated his body.

Soon, the remnants of the poison that were still invading his flesh and organs were eradicated by him into nothingness.

"The leaf, with its natural veins, is usable. Beast Skin too, has animal patterns buried under the wrinkles. As long as they are naturally formed, and not artificially refined and carved, they can be used in the Prayer Spirit Forbidden Land."

He caught the key point.

The Mysterious Turtle shell touching his chest, sharing the same nature as the Beast Skin and leaf, allowed him to utilize the "Burrowing" and "Pass Through the Mountain" talents, enabling him to kill two evil cultivators first.

"Eh, thinking of escaping now?"

Pang Jian curled his lips and snorted coldly.

The bald evil cultivator on the surface, due to the huge exhaustion from continuous leaping and landing, and unable to wait for his appearance, was now begrudgingly choosing to flee.

"Once the Mysterious Turtle grows further, if the Mysterious Turtle shell could activate the talent to control gravity, this baldie would find it difficult even to leap."

With that thought, Pang Jian silently moved underground.

"Hmm!"

He suddenly noticed that beneath the earth over his head, strands of bright red blood, as if drawn by some force, were converging towards one place.

The blood, being just inches beneath the surface, went unnoticed by the bald evil cultivator above.

"Spider with a human face!"

After a few careful looks, Pang Jian ascertained that the strands of bright red blood were flowing towards the beautiful human face on the spider-bodied creature.

And the source of the blood came from the two evil cultivators he had killed with the Astonishing Spear!

Sensing something ominous, Pang Jian discarded any thoughts of a battle of wits with the bald evil cultivator and retreated from the area immediately.

A moment later.

He suddenly burst from the earth and flew towards another region, opposite to where the bald individual cultivator stood.

He even intentionally let the bald evil cultivator see his figure, see him moving away.

"This troublesome kid, he must have been lurking underground all along. Seeing that I was about to leave, he finally couldn’t resist surfacing."

The bald evil cultivator sneered with a snort.

His position and the place where Pang Jian had emerged from the earth were in two different directions.

Between them, there was the very stone statue with the human face and spider body that had shattered.

The evil cultivator, whose companion had died, didn’t rush to leave as Pang Jian left, but instead looked towards the corpses of his two companions from a distance.

He muttered: "The Beast Skin and those leaves may have been lost, but they still have their storage bags on them."

After a moment’s hesitation, he turned and headed back to the corpses, all the while staying alert.

He was still worried, afraid that Pang Jian was plotting against him, deliberately letting him see before shrinking back into the ground to sneak back silently.

Very soon, he arrived at the body of the first companion. When he reached out to pull off the storage bag, panic flashed in his eyes.

He couldn’t help but scream.

His companion, who previously controlled the Beast Skin, didn’t have a single drop of blood left in his body, having become a mummified corpse in a very short time.

"What kind of sinister technique has that kid cultivated?"

The bald evil cultivator’s heart surged with intense unease.

He felt that Pang Jian, who had entered the Land of Prayer Spirit for the first time, was even more terrifying than their entire group, possibly having sacrificed himself to some evil deity.

——That’s how he obtained the secret skill to drain human blood in such a short time.

"This child will be a different kind in the Land of Prayer Spirit, must be careful with him from now on."

He moved to the second companion’s corpse and while pulling off the storage bag, he saw the same bloodless mummified body.

He became more convinced that Pang Jian, hidden underground and not making a move, was not waiting to attack him but was absorbing the blood from his two companions’ bodies.

"Could it be the Blood Moon’s secret skill? No, even the Blood Moon doesn’t consume human blood, it only draws power from the rich life force of Beast Blood."

As he pondered in confusion, he suddenly felt someone crouching nearby, silently watching him.

He turned to look and saw an incredibly bizarre yet beautiful human face, smirking at him with pursed lips.

The bald evil cultivator’s hair stood on end, instantly filled with terror.

In that moment, the bald evil cultivator also noticed that the beautiful human face, once engraved on stone, now had flesh and skin, with a body full of vitality, radiating a faint white glow.

Its enchantingly beautiful face had a sort of magical power that could make one’s soul sink into it, Its eyes a mysterious lake with ever-rippling waves.

It squinted and smiled.

"Ah!"

The bald Individual Cultivator screamed in terror.

At the other end, Pang Jian suddenly stopped.

Silent, he listened to the bald evil cultivator’s miserable shrieks, not knowing exactly what had happened.

But he guessed it, the God Spirit statues that had been quietly devouring the two evil cultivators’ fresh blood must have made their move on the bald cultivator.

Suppressing the curiosity to look back, he waited a little longer until the screams ceased, then he hastened his departure.

Afterward.

He carefully avoided all the shattered statues and carvings, and maintained a respectful attitude towards the broken altars that could not be restored.

Do not touch, do not explore, completely suppressing the curiosity in his heart.

He was still going deeper.

Unable to execute his Astonishing Spear skills, he felt the road was long as he could only walk and flash-evade.

Until he encountered an object that astonished him, and he stopped again.

A beehive covered with numerous cells collapsed like a mountain, and appeared before Pang Jian’s eyes.

The collapsed beehive before him was much larger than the one he had seen in the Insect Valley at Solitude Mountain Range, which had been pierced through by a bone of the Heaven Phoenix.

As he drew near and observed carefully, Pang Jian realized it was not carved from a stone, but it was made of a real mountain!

"Could the beehive be... a God Spirit from a different land?"

The shock in Pang Jian’s heart deepened.

The shattered statues with human faces and spider bodies, radiating strangeness, seemed to have devoured the flesh and blood of the three evil cultivators by now, looking somewhat like some evil deities.

As for the beehive before him...

With a frown, Pang Jian took out a bronze badge named "Beyond Purgatory," holding it in his palm while slowly approaching.

During this process, he remained extremely vigilant.

The horror of the broken human-faced spider statues still left him with a sense of dread, fearing that the beehive might also erupt with something unusual, afraid that he might end up like those three evil cultivators.

"Whoosh!"

He summoned a deep red Firm Cover, gathering all the Alien Powers that could melt into a furnace.

The silver skin from his "Phantom Bone Realm," the Mysterious Turtle shell covering his chest and the five leaves covering his heart, he activated them all.

He also maintained a covert sensory connection with the Mysterious Turtle and the Sapling.

If there was any sudden mortal danger, he planned to abandon his desire to explore and leave this shattered beehive carved from a mountain.

Thirty steps, twenty steps, one step!

Pang Jian, who had made all preparations, did not detect anything amiss. Instead, the bronze badge in his palm gradually became scorching hot.

"This looks promising!"

He felt a little excited.

Seven steps, five steps, three steps, one step!

He stopped at a broken piece of the beehive, pondered for a moment, and then touched the beehive piece with the bronze badge.

— rather than with his hand.

"Clang!"

The clear sound of metal striking stone echoed through the air.

A piece of stone that appeared extremely solid quietly turned into... stone powder!

Pang Jian was stunned for a moment, then moved to a second piece. He struck it with the badge again.

Another pile of stone powder was instantly formed.

At this moment, Pang Jian suddenly recalled the scene on the little island in Wulan Lake when he watched the "Mysterious Fog" slowly spreading, silently turning towering mountains into dust.

"What if it’s not the bronze badge, but the Astonishing Spear?"

At another piece resembling a beehive, he prodded it with the tip of the Astonishing Spear.

"Clang!"

The crisp sound of metal colliding with metal sparked as well as the sparks sprayed.

The giant stone that made up the beehive, instead of turning into a pile of stone powder, had strands of evil power that could invade the soul, seeping through the spear into Pang Jian’s arm.

When Pang Jian shuddered, those evil powers that intended to corrupt his soul, surprisingly vanished into the bronze badge.

His eyes widening in shock, he immediately realized these shattered stone pieces were also extraordinary. It was when he struck them with the bronze badge named "Gate of Prison" that they would turn into stone powder in the blink of an eye.

Had it been someone else, no matter what they used to touch the stones, they would have been invaded by that evil power!

So.

He went over each piece, tapping all the shattered beehive pieces carved from an entire mountain with the bronze badge.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The stone pieces, large and small, turned into stone powders of various sizes, turning the area into a sea of stone sand.

By the time Pang Jian could no longer see any fragments, he noticed the copper gate had opened slightly more.

He squinted for a closer look.

Within the "Purgatory Gate," deep within the thick "Mysterious Fog," among the floating beehive, a small... bee pupa appeared.

It was golden all over, like a lump of gold, emitting a glaring brilliance!

"Snap!"

The slightly opened "Purgatory Gate" suddenly closed again.

As Pang Jian was puzzled, he immediately sensed that the bronze badge he was holding between his fingers was starting to drain two types of power from his body.

The power of Qi and Blood, as well as mental strength!

In his Sea of Consciousness, strands of his Divine Sense rapidly shrank.

Inside the Creation Divine Pool in his chest, the thick and boundless mist of blood also thinned out in an instant.
