The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 389 - 368 Observing the Misty Sea from Beyond_1

Chapter 389: Chapter 368 Observing the Misty Sea from Beyond_1

Outside Purgatory, the Star River is vast.

One by one, brilliant stars hang high above the endless Misty Sea, radiating light in all directions.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, a beam of golden light shoots out from the boundless fog below.

The golden light, together with the stars and Bright Moon, resides in the endless Misty Sea above, scrutinizing the world below.

This beam of golden light is the shed soul breath of consciousness from Pang Jian, which is also the Divine Consciousness that an Outer Realm Demon uses to possess puppet bodies.

Divinity is pure Soul Power, while consciousness possesses thought.

The Divine Consciousness originates from the Spiritual Soul and can exist independently of it, capable of possessing living beings and exerting power through alien objects.

"After the Spiritual Soul is successfully cast, the Divine Consciousness can be released from the body like Spiritual Power and Qi and Blood, revealing its wonder."

Pang Jian has an epiphany.

The next moment, the golden light emits a strong wave of consciousness: "Mysterious Fog!"

The endless Misty Sea is clearly displayed below the dazzling starscape.

He expands his perception and feels that this sea of fog has no end, boundless and immeasurable.

Suddenly, a cluster of black clouds flashes beside the beam of golden light, exclaiming in surprise, "I’ve come out!"

It is a thread of Demon Thought from the Source Demon.

A man and a sword, their Spiritual Souls and Demon Souls still in the Sword Tower of Purgatory Second Realm, but their Divine Consciousness and Demon Thoughts have drifted outside of Purgatory.

This time, Pang Jian’s Divine Consciousness does not settle on the moon, but in the starry sky above Purgatory.

There, he finally witnesses the boundless, grey Mysterious Fog covering an unknown breadth of the void.

The vast Mysterious Fog hides many secrets he does not know, but he is aware that Purgatory lies within it.

"Netherworld Prison, Purgatory, Thunder Prison, these worlds with ’prison’ in their names, perhaps they all lie deep within the Mysterious Fog."

This bundle of Divine Consciousness, like a beam of golden light, can sense its own Spiritual Soul and thus knows the coordinates of Purgatory.

The direct sensation of his chest aching, the Healing Pills healing his wounds, and the refining of his bones by Life Vitality—all these can be sensed through his Divine Consciousness.

When the world of Purgatory opens up, Outer Realm Demons can send Divine Consciousness through Purgatory’s protective seals to descend onto special altars and into puppet bodies.

And he, currently in Purgatory, is also able to extend his Divine Consciousness to the outer stars.

This is exactly opposite to what the Outer Realm Demons do.

"Your Spiritual Soul is so special! And your Divine Consciousness can effortlessly surpass the Boundary Wall and Heaven Forbidden of Purgatory, what exactly is going on with you?"

A thread of Demon Thought from the Source Demon screams in horror and astonishment.

The black cloud representing its Demon Thought churns and roams in the stars above the Mysterious Fog, seemingly searching for kindred from the Sky Demon Clan.

And Pang Jian’s Divine Consciousness continues to observe the peculiarities of the surrounding void, paying attention to that bright, clear full moon.

"Whoosh!"

Billions of miles away, the full moon inhabited by the Moon Goddess shone intensely for a moment.

The moonlight, like ripples of water, carries Divine Power capable of probing souls, spreading and permeating across the stars above the Mysterious Fog.

"Pang Jian!"

A grand, resonant divine voice echoes in the stars above the Mysterious Fog.

"Lingering Evil Spirit."

Pang Jian snorts coldly.

His golden light-like Divine Consciousness, carrying along the Demon Thought from the Source Demon, returns to the body in an instant, connecting via the sensing line of his own Spiritual Soul.

"Clink!"

He opens the Copper Box and steps out holding the Origin Demon Sword, saying, "I’ve heard that the very reason this sword exists is to slay the Outer Realm Demons."

"And I, clearly possess such ability."

"Moreover, I can roam freely within the Mysterious Fog and find the other parts of you."

He subjugated the Source Demon twice, grinding away its rebellious edge, to make it deeply feel despair and helplessness.

Now, Pang Jian allows it to see his own capabilities.

"I’m convinced."

The Source Demon responds despondently from within the blade: "You may not be as strong as Mo Nan, but your potential far exceeds his. I genuinely cannot fathom you; I’ve never met anyone as unique as you."

"Good that you’re convinced."

Pang Jian nods lightly, and then tries to infuse Spiritual Power.

"Whoosh!"

The black crystal-like broken sword suddenly becomes like the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar, showing a vibrant green divine glow.

Pang Jian peers into the sword’s inner realm.

He sees a straight, green-glowing stream drifting in a dark space, with specks of Demon Thought following the stream’s flow and falling into it one by one.

The green stream is suddenly imbued with endless peculiarities by the Source Demon.

"Tsst!"

A green luminous sword light shoots forth from the tip of the broken sword.

Clumps of Demon Flames, Demon Clouds, and Demon Light appear first.

Moments later, many manifestations of the Source Demon emerge: numerous enchanting women, terrifying Demonic Eyes, blossoming Demon Flowers, and nameless Demon Fiends...

Many alien entities and visions are refined by the Spiritual Power within the green sword light, displaying the spectacle of Heaven Demons causing chaos in the world.

Pang Jian inwardly marvels.

Standing on the first floor of Sword Tower holding the Origin Demon Sword, all the visions conjured by the Source Demon are now refined by Spiritual Power he has infused into the sword.

Fantastical objects, first solidified by spiritual power into reality, each became vividly lifelike.

All bizarre apparitions harbored the demon thoughts of Source Demon, the actual objects turned into living beings as they contained the demon thoughts!

In Pang Jian’s exclusive cave dwelling, a blue-sword light flew out, forcibly creating a peculiar and enigmatic world by the hands of the Source Demon.

An enchanting Ghost Demon Clan woman, with beguiling smiles, started to undress seductively, casting flirtatious and amorous glances at Pang Jian, posing and preening for him.

Thousands of deep purple Demon Flowers suddenly whistled towards him as if selecting their prey to devour.

Pair after pair of pitch-black Demonic Eyes emitted profound and ghostly light, as though attempting to extract his soul.

Many ferocious Demon Fiends, unheard of before, were also lowly growling and charging at him to kill.

He poured his spiritual power into the Origin Demon Sword, and with the amplification and strengthening by Source Demon, it morphed into a space-time secret realm governed by the Outer Realm Demon Sovereign, in turn besieging and assaulting him.

Source Demon, this was its new form of resistance against him!

"Again?"

Pang Jian frowned and sneered coldly.

"Heart of Winter" floated out, and instantly a dense, cold fog filled the small cave dwelling, covering all the real and active beings refined by the Source Demon.

With a thought, he then drew the force of the Thunder Vortex from his spiritual sea in his dantian, which was nearly ruptured by the Thunder Pond.

The cold alien power, mixed with blinding thunder and lightning, turned into a miniature storm wreaking havoc within the cave dwelling.

"Bang! Bang, bang!"

The monstrous apparitions, refined into reality by Pang Jian’s spiritual power and imbued with traces of Source Demon’s demon thoughts, were swiftly eradicated by him in an extremely short time.

"You think you can turn the heavens upside down just by capturing a strand of my spiritual power?"

Grasping the Origin Demon Sword again, Pang Jian swept it with divine consciousness, slashing and erasing every demon thought of Source Demon within it.

"Absolutely doesn’t learn a lesson."

He then threw the Origin Demon Sword back into the copper box.

He had seen just the tip of the iceberg of the Origin Demon Sword’s power, but the cunning and unruliness of the Source Demon he had thoroughly experienced this time.

After being grinded down twice and taken for a wander beyond the heavens, he promised to find the other half of its sword body for it.

But Source Demon still would not give up, feigning submission, waiting for an opportunity to act against him in secret.

Unfortunately, for every cunning of the demon there’s a higher cunning of the path; relying on the power of the "Heart of Winter," he crushed the Source Demon’s malicious and vile thoughts again.

Half a day later.

With the aid of the great healing medicine from his senior brother Chen Weihuang and the self-healing power of the Leaf of Life, his injuries had recovered as before, and his broken ribs were also intact.

"Father..."

The Corrosion Boundary Vine in the Fourth Realm actively established a sensing connection, gently saying, "The person you asked me to find has come on her own."

Pang Jian’s mind was shaken.

Gazing towards Thousand Miles of Cloud Land, he immediately saw Li Yuqing, her clothes stained with blood, weakly sitting under the deliberately minimized Green Luminous Sapling, saying solemnly, "I have something to speak to Pang Jian about."

The leaves of the Sapling rustled.

"I know you can establish a connection with him," frowned Li Yuqing.

"I am here."

Pang Jian appeared out of thin air.

The girl, who had grown somewhat thinner and whose facial contours became even more delicate, showed a look of surprise, wondering, "How did you come here directly?"

Knowing that there was a profound connection between the Corrosion Boundary Vine and Pang Jian, she had come all the way here despite her serious injuries.

Her intention was to convey a message to the Heaven Treasure Li Family through Pang Jian, so that the family could arrange for a strong escort for her.

But to her surprise, Pang Jian materialized in an instant.

Pang Jian unceremoniously ordered, "Help me treat her!"

"Okay."

Piece by piece, the Green Luminous Leaves gently fell on the young girl’s shoulders, the greenery swiftly disappearing into her body.

The rich life vitality, like a trickling stream, nourished the girl’s flesh, repairing her injured organs and vascular tissues, easing her furrowed brow slightly.

However, the thick Filth Alien Power was still incessantly contaminating her flesh and blood.

Her glossy lips revealed a hint of bitterness, saying, "I had a treasure that could resist the Filth Alien Power and allow me to see in the darkness of the Fifth Realm, but it was destroyed during the battle."

"Moreover, my Spiritual Sea has dried up, and as soon as I gather even a bit of spiritual power, it will be immediately wiped out by the Filth Alien Power."

"This makes it difficult for me to summon a Spiritual Power Strong Shield around my body."

"And then..."

The young girl pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said, "There are two people from Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom, one surnamed Jiang, the other Zhu. Both are in the Soul Wandering Realm, ranked a fair bit behind me."

"They witnessed my grave injuries and have been secretly trailing me; they might possibly seek me out soon."

"Pang Jian, I wish for you to convey a message through Sword Tower to my family in the Li Family and ask them to send someone to meet me."

"Whoosh!"

The Spiritual Power Strong Shield belonging to Pang Jian expanded outwards, enveloping Li Yuqing within it.

He crouched down and took out a handful of Healing Pills that would aid in the recovery of injuries, saying, "These will help you recover."

"I’ve already taken Healing Pills," Li Yuqing shook her head lightly with a pure and flawless smile, "No matter the pill, they all need time to heal injuries, including... the life vitality being infused by the Corrosion Boundary Vine."

A warmth surged in her heart as she continued, "The main issue is my Spiritual Sea, it’s drained too severely to fill up quickly. Also..."

"My Spiritual Soul also sustained serious damage, it still takes time to refine with the pills I’ve swallowed."

"I’m just afraid there isn’t enough time."
