The Purgatory Calamity

Chapter 425: Chapter 404 Alien Tribes Prodigy_1

Deep within the dense lead clouds, a beast as large as a mountain with blood-red beastly pupils glared at the intruder, Fan Chen.

This was an eighth-level Armored Demon Beast.

Shaped like a rhinoceros, its body was covered in dark demonic armor, emanating an astonishingly imposing aura.

"Huff! Huff!"

As it breathed, violent qi and blood were continuously released from its armor, slowly tingeing the surrounding grey lead clouds with red.

A tall and straight woman from the Devil Scale Tribe stood atop its forehead.

In silver scale armor that shielded even her face, the Devil Scale Tribe woman’s gaze was as piercing as a dagger, tightening Fan Chen’s spirit as he entered the clouds.

"Seventh level!"

Having determined the woman’s bloodline level, Fan Chen’s expression became more solemn than ever before.

He knew well that this Devil Scale Tribe woman standing on the eighth-level Armored Demon Beast, waiting for them deep within the lead clouds, must be a rare genius of the Devil Scale Tribe, just like himself.

Only someone of this caliber could become the last line of defense at the seventh level of bloodline power, hunting them down.

"Divine Bone of the True God, slash!"

In Fan Chen’s hand, the character "one" transformed into a blade of silver light that cleaved the lead clouds separating the two realms in two.

The Divine Power left in the Divine Bones by the True Monarch Taiyi showed its might at this moment, causing the fierceness in the Armored Demon Beast’s eyes to intensify.

As the light blade broke through the lead clouds, a rainbow light mixed with the power of a True God struck, and the Armored Demon Beast kicked its hooves and roared.

"Huff, huff!"

The clouds tainted red by its qi and blood twisted like blood-red demons, suddenly surging towards the "one" slash unleashed by Fan Chen.

Numerous blood-curdling strange creatures, thick and overlapping, loomed like demons.

But they were instantly obliterated by the divine brilliance of the "one."

"Roar!"

The Armored Demon Beast bellowed, and a cold black flame burned at its hooves.

"Whoosh!"

Also, waves of blood-colored light spread out from its body as the center, forming countless terrifying blood-curdling demons on earth, displayed by its bloodline secret skill.

Amidst the endless waves of blood-red light, the Armored Demon Beast’s body started to rapidly grow and expand.

Its demonic armor and black flames combined with its qi and blood, transforming into countless Divine Secret Techniques within the blood-colored domain.

The spread of the scarlet light continued to engulf the clouds upon which it stood, allowing it to become the sovereign of this small blood-colored domain.

In its deep red eyes, patterns etched into its bloodline emerged and quietly faded away.

As the Divine Bone blade penetrated the blood-colored waves, its momentum in striking the Armored Demon Beast was gradually weakened.

"Boom!"

Fan Chen’s defensive Firm Cover burst amidst the roar of the Armored Demon Beast.

Even the "Tai" character beneath his feet was enveloped by the wildly spreading blood-colored light.

Suddenly, he saw many chain-like strange lights revealing the secrets of bloodline power.

His strength, along with the Divine Power from the Divine Bone, became entangled and pulled by those strange chains, constantly being diminished.

The woman from the Devil Scale Tribe standing on the Armored Demon Beast’s forehead shook her head slightly in disappointment, "Your Divine Artifact is consuming too much power."

She held a serrated long blade in one hand and plummeted from within the lead clouds, slashing at the Heavenly Spirit Tower in a single stroke.

Before the long blade even reached it, half of the Divine Talismans that Dong Wenjian had placed inside and outside the tower turned into scraps!

Dong Wenjian exclaimed in shock, "The Heavenly Spirit Tower definitely won’t hold! Let’s go!"

A sense of shattering continents emanated from the depths of the overhead lead clouds, accompanied by the serrated long blade.

As a prodigy of the Ancient Law Sect, Dong Wenjian had an incredibly keen perception. He knew from the aura emanated by the blade’s ethos that it once cleaved a complete domain into countless fragmented lands.

He immediately understood that the serrated long blade was on the same echelon as the words "Taiyi" and the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror, and perhaps it even surpassed these two Strange Treasures by half a level.

He made a split decision, grabbed the hand of his companion, Lin Manhe, and was the first to fly out of the White Tower, shouting, "Zhou Qingchen, since you are already above the heavens, take the opportunity to burst through the clouds and escape!"

"Swoosh! Swoosh, swoosh!"

Wu Yuan, Dong Tianze, and Zhou Qingchen, the three of them, also flew from the top floor of the White Tower.

The Purple Demon Eye, Phoenix Seal, and Heaven Essence Bead all issued strong warnings, prompting them to teleport away without regard to their injuries.

Just as they left, the serrated long blade came through the thick lead clouds, streaking across the Heavenly Spirit Tower like a meteor.

The rest of Dong Wenjian’s saint-level Divine Talismans, along with the increasingly divine Heavenly Spirit Tower, were split into debris in an instant by the blade’s light.

Only then did the woman from the Devil Scale Tribe proudly reveal herself.

She held the serrated long blade, taller than herself, in one hand, casually swinging it at Hu.

The blade’s light flashed like lightning, and the void hissed.

After transforming the Kunpeng Sword, Hu brandished her second Spirit Sword in an attempt to block the formidable Devil Scale Tribe woman, who had the potential to ascend to a godly spirit.

As the blade’s light flashed, her second Spirit Sword turned into metal scraps within the clouds.

Hu hurriedly dropped the sword, her hand spurting blood, her bones shattered.

"Sister Hu!"

Liou Youyu exerted all his strength to activate the power of the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror, using the Divine Power within the mirror and the sword light left by Pu Zhaotian, to strike at the fierce Devil Scale Tribe woman.

"Troublesome."

The woman murmured, lightly tapping towards Liou Youyu, who was controlling the Divine Mirror with his spirit, with her scale-armored left hand.

A giant vortex formed by the whirling lead clouds suddenly appeared.

Liou Youyu and the Divine Mirror were engulfed in an instant, disoriented and unable to stabilize his position and the mirror, no longer able to target the Alien Tribe woman with it.

"Devil Scale Tribe, Dazzling Shadow!"

"So it was Dazzling Shadow presiding over the clouds!"

After the woman from the Devil Scale Tribe appeared, the spirits of the 8th-level Flame Clan and Ghost Clan warriors lifted instantly.

Although their bloodline was a whole level higher than that of Dazzling Shadow, these two warriors from the Fifth Realm looked at the woman from the Devil Scale Tribe as if they were beholding a superior being above them.

"You ascend to kill, while I descend to bury."

The face of Dazzling Shadow, hidden by the gleaming scale armor, neither glanced back at Liou Youyu engulfed by the massive whirlpool nor cared about the injured Hu.

Her body, majestic as a sword, suddenly plunged towards Pang Jian.

Above the "Heart of Winter," Pang Jian immediately sensed the approaching boundless Qi and blood. The 7th-level Devil Scale Tribe woman’s flesh and blood Qi within her body was as formidable as that of the 8th-level Armored Demon Beast, not the slightest bit inferior.

Moreover, each strand of Qi and blood was extremely refined and pure.

"I heard that warriors of the Human Race who bear the Chaos Sea could perfectly match the Filth Alien Power of the Fifth Realm."

"It’s also been said that such characters, if not constrained by their Human Race identity, could also become a Sovereign in our Fifth Realm."

"Chaos Sea..."

The descending Dazzling Shadow’s pupils revealed a keen interest.

"Whoosh!"

Blades of brilliant, gleaming silver light shot out from her massive and elongated serrated long blade.

Pang Jian wielded his sword to meet the attack.

"Boom! Boom boom!"

The sword light imbued with the mysteries of ice and thunder intertwined and collided with the blades of light from Dazzling Shadow in the void between the two.

Upon contact between sword and blade light, the originally dark and somber sky lit up as if a spectacular fireworks show had suddenly erupted.

The blinding sword and blade lights, shooting off in all directions, ignited the gloomy heavens.

"Dazzling Shadow!"

"It’s Dazzling Shadow who has made her move!"

In the sky above the Demon Spirit Continent, in the nearby Fragment Lands, powerful warriors from different Alien Tribes cried out in surprise.

There were also strong figures from other races approaching on Flying Spirit Artifacts, who were closely watching the movements of the Devil Scale Tribe woman.

Dazzling Shadow’s reputation resounded loudly across the Fifth Realm, and all tribes recognized her fierceness and strength.

"Pang Jian! Be careful!"

As they entered the clouds, stepping into the Third Realm, Zhou Qingchen, Wu Yuan, and Dong Tianze all called out in panic.

Even the 8th-level warriors of the Flame Clan, Bull Demon Tribe, and Ghost Clan, who had to avoid the edge of the ice-thunder sword, found their attack blocked by the 7th-level Dazzling Shadow wielding her blade.

Dazzling Shadow’s formidable nature made them worry about Pang Jian’s situation, hesitating whether they should descend to join the battle.

"I’ve said before, I will always have the power to protect myself! Don’t come down, don’t distract me!"

Pang Jian shouted towards the skies.

He was afraid that people like Dong Tianze might act rashly, choosing to return even after entering the Third Realm and find themselves surrounded again.

"Protect yourself? Are you joking?"

As Dazzling Shadow controlled her serrated long blade with her soul, her eyes, as sharp and narrow as her weapon, were filled with chilling mockery, "Bearing the Chaos Sea, and being the direct disciple of Sword Tower’s Pu Zhaotian, you pose a great threat to us."

"I know you’re Pang Jian, and you can’t escape."

"I’ve seriously read the ancient scrolls and know that every time the Filth Alien Power rises, the Sword Tower always heralds a marvel without exception. Pang Jian, in my eyes, you’re the marvel of the Sword Tower of this era, and I will not let you live."

While controlling the long blade, Dazzling Shadow still managed to speak heart-piercing words.

She appeared to have strength to spare, calm and unhurried.

However, Pang Jian focused on gathering the two divine forces within the "Heart of Winter" and the Thunder Pond, refining them with the "Integration" secret skill in the Origin Demon Sword, and continuously swinging his sword to meet the attacks.

"Zhou Yi, even in the Fifth Realm of Purgatory, there are geniuses like you. Dazzling Shadow is the daughter of the chieftain of the Devil Scale Tribe of Purgatory. Should she survive the great calamity of Purgatory, she has the potential to become a God Spirit like me."

Ling Yimo reappeared at another end beneath the firmament.

Zhou Yi floated beside her, taking Pills to regulate his breath and gather the severely depleted power.

"Devil Scale Tribe, Dazzling Shadow..."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly.

He found that this Devil Scale Tribe woman, whose face went unseen, with only a pair of eyes revealed, suddenly became endlessly charming.

Her upright and agile figure, the shining silver scale armor, exuded a stark sharpness at every turn.

The large serrated long blade, disproportionate to her body, contained vast amounts of Qi and blood, akin to her second body, from which incredible blood power continuously emerged.

Zhou You squinted and observed, his heart shaking, "She can utilize the dense Qi and blood of an 8th-level Armored Demon Beast through her long blade?"

Ling Yimo nodded indifferently.

"No wonder," said Zhou Yi, quite astonished, "her own physique is already strong, and every strand of Qi and blood is refined as if it’s a gleaming edge, added to which is the power of an 8th-level Armored Demon Beast she can brandish at will."

"From what I see, even Pang Jian, who bears the Chaos Sea, might not necessarily be able to outlast her."

Zhou Yi marveled.

Ling Yimo nodded once more.

She watched as Liou Youyu and Hu were engulfed in the Lead Clouds, and as Zhou Qingchen, Wu Yuan, and Dong Tianze also entered the clouds, saying, "If you’ve recovered, use your Void Mirror Skill to pursue those who’ve fallen into the clouds. Above, there’s a region where a Meteorite Sea has remained, situated on the edge of the Third Realm."

"No one will notice the commotion here for a short while, so just make your move."

"The fellows below will cooperate with you as well."

As She spoke, the 8th-level warriors of the Flame Clan, Ghost Clan, and Bull Demon Tribe tactfully avoided the intense struggle between Pang Jian and Dazzling Shadow, one by one entering the Lead Clouds of the Third Realm.
