Chapter 262: Chapter 247: Divine Battle_1
"Thud!"
Pang Jian’s retreating footsteps halted.
"Come here."
He, with a smirk at the corner of his mouth, issued the invitation.
Wisps of light smoke dissipated around him, swirling like a dream, as his Alien Power began to infiltrate the surroundings with the Sky-supporting Giant Palm.
"Crack!"
The cold, hard ground split as if cut by a sharp blade, revealing sharp crevices, while the rubble continued to burst violently.
His smile remained unchanged, his pupils gradually releasing a bewitching and sinister light, like two deep and unfathomable wells of mystery, enticing others to explore.
Pang Jian, having stopped in his tracks, locked eyes with him for a moment before suddenly shooting toward him like a bolt of lightning.
The smirk on his lips became even more pronounced.
Suddenly, the Mysterious Turtle shell over Pang Jian’s chest started to actively absorb Blood and Flesh Essence Energy from within him.
Pang Jian, his consciousness now muddled, suddenly concentrated his spirit, and the bewilderment on his face disappeared in an instant.
He pulled up short in mid-air, no longer daring to glance at Xie Xiwen, and turned away, fleeing at an even greater speed.
"I have pressing matters to attend to, no time to chat with you now."
Pang Jian’s indifferent refusal echoed through the air.
In the blink of an eye, he was already a hundred yards away, his figure in mid-flight appearing somewhat disheveled.
"Xie Xiwen" furrowed her brows slightly, the smile on her lips receding.
"Go."
She uttered the command in a soft voice.
The bodies beside the altar, including Star River Alliance Protectors and two Spirit Condensation Realm Elders, like those of Shen Lei, awkwardly sprang to their feet.
They moved as if lifeless, their hollow eyes devoid of any human emotion, shining with a silver radiance.
Immediately, they pursued Pang Jian, their movements slow at first.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Their initially sluggish pace quickened as they chased, until they turned into blinding meteors!
Pang Jian, who had witnessed the sinister God Spirit with a spider’s body and human face, had fled far when he couldn’t help but look back.
And immediately, he saw Shen Lei and the others condensed into meteors streaking across the void, rushing toward him with piercing sonic screams.
Pang Jian cursed inwardly, immediately using the Burrowing Divine Skill of the Mysterious Turtle shell to quietly disappear beneath the ground.
Before long, he was deep underground, watching the deceased Star River Alliance powerhouses soar past above ground.
"Xie Xiwen must have been possessed or taken over by another Alien God Spirit."
Hiding underground, Pang Jian’s mood was heavy.
Strange phenomena were happening frequently in the Prayer Spirit Forbidden Land; the shattered altar, the collapsed statues, the broken wood carvings had lain silent for millions of years, yet now they had reignited like dead ash, revealing one mystery after another.
The God Spirits, situated in unknown locations, projected their gaze through the ancient ruins one after another.
Any Cultivator active in the Forbidden Land had to beware the gaze of those Alien God Spirits and be wary of the malice they conveyed.
A single misstep could lead to being strangled by them.
"Purgatory World is about to become even more chaotic."
Pang Jian shook his head silently.
"Rustle! Crack!"
Many grey boulders suddenly appeared in the void above the Forbidden Land, right above his head.
The boulders kept colliding with each other as if trying to merge into one whole.
But they lacked some kind of binding agent.
Among the clashing grey boulders, a bewitching and beautiful face floated, with long silver hair.
An evil Alien Power that could infiltrate all things and living beings radiated from that beautiful visage, aiding the inspection of the Forbidden Land before her, allowing her to scrutinize this place with her true form from another secret domain.
Pang Jian, crouching underground, looked up at the exceedingly beautiful face and felt utterly helpless.
One God Spirit residing in Xie Xiwen’s body had already forced him into hiding, and now another had arrived; this one seemed even stronger.
"Crack!"
Amidst the sound of colliding stones, the God Spirit with a spider’s body and human face directed its gaze where the Star River Alliance Elders and Protectors had vanished.
Its broken spider legs suddenly made a pulling motion as if drawing back in time.
"Swoosh, swoosh!"
Several dazzling "meteors" were infected and permeated by the Alien Power it had wantonly spread, locked onto and pulled by its spider legs.
The Cultivators of the Star River Alliance plunged toward the God Spirit like moths to the flame.
Shen Lei, the two Spirit Condensation Realm Elders, and a few other Protectors burst into a cloud of blood with a "puff," their flesh and blood wrapping around the God Spirit’s detached spider body and head in the air, regrowing terrifying tissue at a visible rate.
Its partial limbs and head quickly fused together.
Deep beneath the ground, Pang Jian looked up in horror and realized the God Spirits focusing their gaze on the Prayer Spirit Forbidden Land were not at all harmonious with one another.
Indeed.
The God Spirit residing in Xie Xiwen’s body let out a soul-tearing sinister cry from afar.
The God Spirit with a human face and a spider’s body, upon hearing the provocative cry, displayed not a trace of fear but instead became excited.
"Rustle! Crack!"
It tossed the boulder-like limbs through the void above Pang Jian’s head, streaking past overhead to rapidly approach the God Spirit that resided in Xie Xiwen.
In just a moment, from the location of the God Spirit in Xie Xiwen’s body, a thunderous sound of earth-shattering collision erupted. Two terrifying wills and Alien Powers clashed intensely in that area.
The earth felt like it was sinking, the void seemed to tremble, and the divine power destroying all things swept across like colossal tidal waves.
Hiding underground, Pang Jian sensed a force capable of shaking heaven and earth quietly permeating into the depths.
He hastily burrowed downward, reaching the utmost limit that "Burrowing" could achieve, hoping to avoid the shock of those forces.
He continuously gathered Qi and Blood to flow into the Mysterious Turtle shell and silently activated the body defense of the "Phantom Bone Realm," preparing to cope with any possible remnants of battle that might reach him.
Shortly after.
"Hiss Hiss!"
Corrosive beams of light and specks of gray-white brilliance collided and spread across the area.
The underworld seemed as if it had been gouged with countless stone paths by a terrifying behemoth.
Pang Jian clearly saw that both the corrosive beams and expanding gray-white brilliance, as they moved underground, formed numerous subterranean passages.
The depths of the earth, like a spider web, became interconnected in all directions.
"Boom!"
The Qingying Gang Shield that Pang Jian had hastily summoned suddenly shattered.
Caught in the state of battle, the terrifying alien powers finally reached Pang Jian, making him feel as if he were being crazily compressed by an alien force.
His body and cheeks were squeezed out of shape.
Had it not been for his bones being finely honed and sturdy, that one wave of terrifying compression alone could have caused his bones to crack and body to burst.
"Swoosh!"
Pang Jian, whose chest veins had burst, seeing that even the depths were unsafe, forcibly suppressed the urge to vomit blood, and fled in panic without looking back.
"Too powerful."
He marveled silently.
He knew that those two were not their true forms, but merely a very small manifestation of their divine might.
Yet just those few traces of divine power could seep into the depths of the earth and carve out many crisscrossing subterranean stone paths.
If the true forms of those two were to appear here, wouldn’t this region known as the Prayer Spirit Forbidden Land, and even the Xuan You Continent, be torn into countless fragments by their battle?
"Perhaps, the many fragments of land floating in various worlds were shattered by existences as powerful as True Gods."
Pang Jian yearned for such power, but he dared not look back, nor did he dare to feel the might of combat at that level.
He had an intuition... as long as he was caught in the crossfire of their power, those two mysterious existences of unknown origins would detect a living being hidden deep underground.
Once their battle ended, they would pluck him from the depths. If he didn’t take the opportunity to flee now, it would mean death.
...
An hour later.
In the sky above where Pang Jian had previously hidden.
The God Spirit with a human face and spider body suddenly drifted over, scattering countless gray-white specks like stars in the night sky, disappearing into the deep layers of the earth.
With its indifferent eyes, it overlooked the world below, searching for all possible power it could absorb.
The gray-white brilliance, symbolizing its divine power like extensions of its Divine Consciousness, penetrated one hundred meters into the earth before barely stopping.
Then, the gray-white brilliance spread in all directions.
After a moment, as it found no target, a slight frown formed, and its God’s Thought stirred.
"Bang! Bang Bang!"
The underworld roared madly.
The gray-white brilliance, originating from it and returning to its body, pierced through many holes in the region’s earth on its way back.
They were like wells leading to the heart of the earth.
It hovered in the air for a while before drifting away.
On that altar that seemed to be supporting the sky with a giant hand, there was only a skeleton wearing the Star River Alliance robe sitting withered.
The prodigy of the Star River Alliance had long been dead, and even the God Spirit that had taken possession of its body had been defeated by the one with a human face and spider body.
...
Pang Jian was still wandering in the Prayer Spirit Forbidden Land.
He was still carefully using the copper plaque to extract a wisp of Divine Consciousness, aiding the bee pupae to undergo a thorough transformation to become a true Bee King.
Two days later, he condensed another new strand of Divine Sense within his Sea of Consciousness.
"One hundred thirty-one!"
Pang Jian, having broken through a new barrier, immediately saw his Sea of Consciousness expand significantly with the appearance of the one hundred and thirty-first strand of Divine Sense.
The Sea of Consciousness had suddenly widened by a large margin.
Beyond this, the capacity of all his Divine Sense to generate mental strength also broke through a certain limit!
The most direct manifestation was... each of the one hundred and thirty-one strands of Divine Sense inside his Sea of Consciousness had grown a bit longer.
Pang Jian immediately knew that Black Valley Ye Fei’s statement was actually true.
After the Divine Sense broke a hundred, condensing every additional ten strands marked a new milestone.
Thirty was an exceptionally difficult chasm to cross!
Once crossed, some novel and strange change would emerge on its own.
Six days later, Pang Jian’s total Divine Sense rushed to one hundred and thirty-six, but the Sea of Consciousness did not change, and the Divine Senses did not grow longer.
By then, he could no longer find any peculiarities to absorb with the copper plaque nor did he encounter the manifestation of a new God Spirit.
That day.
A broad sword light shot into the sky as if a waterfall reversed its course to ascend to the heavens, suddenly appearing in his field of view.
The Sword Intent tearing through heaven and earth burst forth from the bright silver sword light, as if it sought to pierce a hole in the sky.
From afar, Pang Jian saw a silver-white giant sword high in the sky slaying a God Spirit with black wings!
The fleeing Black Winged God Spirit stirred up surging black Divine Flames, attempting to escape the pursuit of the silver-white giant sword, but was still cleaved into pieces by a single stroke.
Before the God Spirit hit the ground, the air was already filled with dust, leaving no trace of life.
