The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 424 - 403

Chapter 424: 403

Outside the White Tower.

Wu Yuan and Pang Jian, one flying above the tower, the other sinking downwards.

Demon Sect’s Wu Yuan took the lead in making a move, controlling the Purple Demon Eye with his Spiritual Soul.

"He Motian, shatter the heavens with the Demonic Eye!"

Wisps of soul threads and God’s Thought billowed out from the top of Wu Yuan’s head, drifting into that grotesque and terrible colossal Demonic Eye.

In the depths of the increasingly enormous Demonic Eye, an imposing ancient Demon God drew on Wu Yuan’s soul threads and God’s Thought to become real.

In Its four demonic hands, It held prayer beads, a token, a spoon, and a pot, as if descending from myth and legend into this world.

The four items held by the Great Demon God Hemo Tian, whose fame thundered throughout the Outer Star River, appeared momentarily on the exterior of the Purple Demon Eye, like a projection from the God and Demon Origin Academy.

Just for that moment.

An immense divine might shattered all barriers and seals, allowing the White Tower to break free from its chains and soar into the sky once again!

As if projected through a void, the four items also tore apart the dark clouds overhead in that moment, forcing Ling Yimo and the Alien God Youkui to reveal themselves, visible to everyone’s eyes.

"Ling Yimo!"

"Ghost Clan’s Alien God from the Outer Realm!"

"Boom!"

With the gasps of Hu and Fan Chen, the "God and Demon Origin Academy" Ling Yimo forcefully constructed, repeatedly shattered and reformed.

The academy, again erased by the Great Demon God Hemo Tian, fending off the invasion of Demonic Energy over and over.

It wasn’t until the twelfth time that the "God and Demon Origin Academy" disappeared once more that Ling Yimo finally completely dissolved the attack from the Purple Demon Eye.

However, the divine shadow of the Alien God Youkui from the Outer Realm, had already dissipated like smoke and clouds.

The brief appearance of the four Demon Instruments, coupled with the boundless surge of power from the Great Demon God Hemo Tian, made Ling Yimo, with only a Soul Body, utterly miserable.

"He Motian!"

He ground his teeth and muttered softly, his Spiritual Soul quietly vanishing.

Wu Yuan, carried away, was displaying the power of the Divine Object, the Purple Demon Eye, and the appearance of He Motian within, instilling great wariness, prompting Him to temporarily conceal His divine shadow.

"Wu Yuan, not bad!"

Hu did not stint on her praise.

Above the continuously ascending White Tower, an evil power that had existed there was swept clean by Wu Yuan with the Purple Demon Eye.

The path to ascension for the White Tower became much lighter.

"Charge!"

Inside the tower, Dong Wenjian slapped Divine Talismans of sacred level one after another onto the inner walls as if they cost him nothing.

These Talismans, prized within the Ancient Law Sect and only awarded to core disciples of the Inner Gate, were all used to enhance the flying momentum of the Heavenly Spirit Tower.

"Whoosh!"

The White Tower shot into the sky like a silver-white meteor, piercing straight through the heavens.

In the midst of the thunderous rain, the White Tower grew increasingly bright, catching the attention of many strong beings from Alien Tribes who had come to the Fourth Realm.

"Yin Spirit Temple, Heavenly Spirit Tower, elites of the Human Race!"

"Eh! Is that... an intact piece of land from the border?"

"There’s an aura of a God Spirit manifesting in the world!"

Many Alien Tribe powerhouses, uninformed and scattered across different Fragment Lands, noticed the sudden appearance of the Demon Spirit Continent because of the White Tower’s ascension.

"Let’s go take a look!"

Many high-level Alien Race powerhouses proceeded there from different Fragment Lands.

Meanwhile, below the White Tower.

There stood a tall figure, generating a fierce and curious magnetic field from within, beginning to actively attract Thunderous Lightning.

"Crackle and pop!"

The sky filled with Thunderous Lightning, each bolt vanishing into that figure.

The once thick lightning now danced around the figure like serpents, coursing through his flesh and transforming him into a semblance of a Thunder God from the Outer Realm.

This peculiar figure also drew the attention of many Alien Tribes and Ferocious Beasts, with level eight warriors from the Flame Clan and Ghost Clan filled with solemnity and dread.

Fan Chen shouted, "Pang Jian, I can handle what’s below! You should accompany Wu Yuan and guide the Heavenly Spirit Tower to ascend!"

"No, you go protect the Heavenly Spirit Tower above!" Pang Jian commanded, "Leave what’s below to me!"

Fan Chen, harassed and vexed by a level eight Flame Clan warrior, instinctively wanted to refuse coldly.

However, after a glance at Pang Jian and sensing his state, Fan Chen’s eyes lit up, and he nodded lightly, "Alright! Take care of yourself!"

He stepped on a golden "Taiyi" symbol, wielding a "One" as a sharp blade, and switched places with Pang Jian in the void.

The one below now ascended, flying to the top of the White Tower.

As Wu Yuan put away the Purple Demon Eye and entered the White Tower to recuperate, Fan Chen turned into the blade above it, set to shatter any new barriers emerging.

At the very bottom of the White Tower stood Pang Jian, now drawing upon the power of the Thunder Pond within the Spiritual Sea, using the Divine Object "Heart of Winter."

He tried to channel the frost power within the Divine Object, infusing all the Thunderous Lightning gathering on his skin into the combat of the Astonishing Spear.

"Boom!"

In the palm of his hand, the Astonishing Spear suddenly burst apart.

This long spear, from Bagua City, ultimately could not withstand such explosive power being poured into it and, at a crucial moment, was destroyed.

A high-grade Spiritual Artifact was, after all, just a high-grade Spiritual Artifact, not a Holy Artifact nor a Divine Artifact.

"Whoosh!"

Left with no choice, he summoned the Origin Demon Sword again, now devoid of its Sword Spirit.

Even as a broken sword, the material and rank of the Origin Demon Sword still surpassed that of the Astonishing Spear, able to withstand the power endowed by divine objects.

"Ice! Thunder!"

Pang Jian slashed downward with his sword.

The Extreme Cold Alien Power from the divine object "Heart of Winter," and the Thunderous Lightning drawn from the Thunder Pond, merged into a sword beam of ice and lightning.

"Swoosh!"

This beam, originating from the power of two divine objects from beyond the skies, first struck the stone axe of the Bull Demon Tribe Warrior.

"Clang!"

The Bull Demon Tribe Warrior, gripping his stone axe with both hands, felt as if a cosmos of ice and thunder had exploded upon contact with the beam.

An overwhelming divine might, as if the Ice Demon and the Thunder God themselves were venting their fury on his stone axe, bore down upon him.

The robust and domineering body of the Bull Demon Tribe Warrior, along with the primitive stone axe, were both violently forced downward.

The level seven Ice Roc that he rode let out a piercing scream and died from the residual force of ice and thunder that he had transferred outward.

"Useless beast."

The Bull Demon Tribe Warrior cursed and leaped off the Ice Roc before it hit the ground.

"Boom!"

He landed heavily, like a mountain, and with a few bounds and leaps, reached the stone plinth that was suppressing the Hunyuan Ball.

"Old friend, let’s soar and battle anew in the sky!"

Without bothering to suppress the Hunyuan Ball any longer, he and the stone plinth shot into the sky, heading straight for the Heavenly Spirit Tower.

"Whoosh!"

The once enormous Hunyuan Ball suddenly shrank to the size of a marble and fell into a crevice deep within the continent’s crust.

Up above.

"Swoosh! Swoosh swoosh!"

Pang Jian, wielding the broken sword, suddenly began to exert his strength, sending beams of sword light mixed with ice and thunderous divine power slashing out in every direction, slaying alien tribe warriors.

Wherever the sword light passed, aliens who failed to dodge were instantly killed!

Even the level eight warrior from the Flame Clan and the level eight warrior from the Ghost Clan had to steer clear of its edge.

These two alien powerhouses sensed an extraordinary divine power within the sword light and knew that Pang Jian was exceptionally difficult to deal with at this moment, so they distanced themselves from the White Tower to regroup.

Soon, aside from those two, all other level seven and level six aliens and ferocious beasts were slaughtered by Pang Jian.

"Junior brother is formidable!"

Hu, clenching her fist and waving her arm in excitement, lifted the spirits of everyone around her, her eyes sparkling with joy, "Fan Chen, pay attention, we should head back to the Third Realm now!"

Liou Youyu pursed her lips gently, also feeling a sudden ease.

The level eight Ghost Clan warrior who had been pressuring her stepped back continuously from the White Tower on a huge rock, allowing her to relax her guard.

"Having the Chaos Sea at one’s birth, can one truly be invincible among peers? No! Under such power, even those in the Extinction Realm might not endure!" Dong Wenjian from the Ancient Law Sect inwardly marveled.

Standing on the "Heart of Winter" and absorbing Thunderous Lightning with his body, Pang Jian’s sword-wielding power, which he displayed at this moment, was certainly not something that a Soul Wandering Realm practitioner could achieve!

Dong Wenjian faintly felt that if Pang Jian had shown this power earlier, Zhou Yi from the Jiuli Sect wouldn’t have stood a chance.

"That guy with the same surname as you, because he got seriously injured trying to save him, seems to have stimulated him," Lin Manhe, looking down from the lower level of the Heavenly Spirit Tower, said earnestly, "This is his true combat power."

Dong Wenjian’s face changed slightly, "He has been holding back this whole time?"

"Yes, since all of you were exerting your strength, he didn’t use his full power," Lin Manhe nodded lightly and said calmly, "On him, there are at least two objects that reach the divine level. And those two objects, they don’t come from our Purgatory, they carry the aura of alien gods from the Outer Realm."

Dong Wenjian became even more astonished, "Is this kid really from the Fourth Realm?"

"Whenever an era of great chaos arrives, in both the Fourth Realm and the Third Realm, there will always emerge one or two figures capable of stirring the entire Purgatory. Him, Dong Tianze, Zhou Qingchen..." Lin Manhe’s eyes sparkled with a strange light, "It is because of such figures that our Human Race can dominate Purgatory, ascend from the weakest clan in the Lower Realm, and fight all the way to the first layer of Purgatory!"

Pang Jian, Dong Tianze, and Zhou Qingchen all came from the Fourth Realm which they previously looked down upon.

Yet these new figures shone like comets in the dark night sky, illuminating the path forward for the Purgatory Human Race, carving out a new way for them.

The Heavenly Spirit Tower continued to rise.

The persistent thick Lead Cloud, visible to all the beings of the Fourth Realm when they lifted their heads, was now within arm’s reach.

At this moment, Fan Chen took a deep breath.

He held the condensed "one" character in his palm and spread his Divine Sense into the Lead Cloud to detect any enemies that might be lurking within.

Liou Youyu’s Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror also shone towards the Lead Cloud, quietly vigilant of hidden foes.

Hu also tensed up again.

Pang Jian, having displayed his godly prowess, had single-handedly resolved all the trouble below the White Tower, forcing all three level eight alien warriors to keep their distance.

But the Filth Alien Power had already started to spread throughout the Third Realm, and aliens and ferocious beasts were already lurking above.

If Ling Yimo had indeed set a trap and had the response of numerous alien powerhouses, it certainly wouldn’t be without meticulous planning.

Therefore, as they were about to break out of the Fourth Realm, that layer of Lead Cloud could be their final barrier.

As expected.

"Roar!"

A gigantic fierce beast with an indistinct form lurked deep within the Lead Cloud, glaring with blood-red eyes at the rapidly approaching Heavenly Spirit Tower.

Its sole roar shook everyone in the tower to the point of bleeding from their ears and nostrils.

Fan Chen grunted, suppressing the urge to vomit blood, and took the lead by diving into the cloud with the characters "Taiyi."
