The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 432 - 411 Great Demon_1

Chapter 432: Chapter 411 Great Demon_1

Before long, all the Alien Tribes had been exterminated by the Red-eyed Demon Wolf.

The Demon Wolf, manifested in its true form, had fangs smeared with torn flesh, and its claws and teeth dripped with fresh blood.

A broad river of flames, which contained the bloodline mysteries comprehended by all the ancestors of their species, flowed slowly before him.

Many Ferocious Beasts of the seventh and sixth level thought they would turn to ashes, but were surprised to find themselves unharmed.

"You are my kind! You need to believe in me, for I can bring you hope!"

"Within the Mysterious Fog, there’s a Fragment Land called Northern Qi, where more of our kind reside!"

"I will take you there, to awaken your bloodlines and ferocity, and let you truly transform into the Demon Race!"

the Red-eyed Demon Wolf roared.

Amidst the charred remains, it selectively devoured the corpses of more powerful Alien Tribes, and extracted the hearts of two eighth-level Aliens to swallow them down like a delicacy.

In the distance, atop "Heart of Winter," Pang Jian frowned deeply.

Seeing the Wood Tribe warrior, who viewed the Sapling of Cloud Wilderness with reverence and Pang Ling as a God Spirit, being consumed by the eighth-level Red-eyed Demon Wolf, made him somewhat uncomfortable.

But this was the cruel reality of war.

The Wood Tribe warriors, who ascended with the Fifth Realm Alien Tribes, also enslaved the Ferocious Beasts of Tianze and the Fragment Lands of Sky Ramparts, feeding them the Bloodthirsty Liquid, using the death of the beasts to attack the cultivators of the Human Race above.

To the Demon Wolf, these beasts were nothing more than the younger generations of his kind.

Now, by exhibiting his strength, he used the power of his Ancient Demon Clan to annihilate numerous Alien warriors, then consumed the spoils of battle in the most primitive way of his race, which seemed only natural.

Aren’t Ferocious Beasts and Spirit Beasts also slain by the Alien Tribes of the Fifth Realm and dissected by Human Race cultivators as rare cultivation materials?

Didn’t Pang Jian’s own Body Refining depend on the flesh and blood of higher-level Ferocious Beasts?

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, is the eternal truth of all living beings competing for natural selection.

Unchanging through the ages.

Thinking this way, Pang Jian felt that it was only right for the eighth-level Red-eyed Demon Wolf to consume the bones of the Alien Tribes.

"You should all enjoy it as well!"

The Red-eyed Demon Wolf’s blood-red beast pupils, flickering with a fearsome light, stared at a group of trembling Ferocious Beasts, saying, "Those who once rode upon you, suppressed your ferocity and spiritual wisdom, claiming to be your masters, should rightfully be your food!"

"Eat them! If you don’t, I’ll kill you!"

He waved his blade-like wolf claws.

The Ferocious Beasts, deeply shocked by him, that tried to retreat quietly were met with a stream of flame spat out by him.

A sixth-level Ferocious Beast ignited at the touch of the flame, its body hissing as it burnt up, quickly turning into a charred skeleton.

The rest of the beasts, realizing they would be slaughtered by him if they didn’t consume their former masters, obediently complied, swallowing the deliberately left bones.

"Crunch!"

The sound of beasts eating humans began to rise.

"That’s more like it!"

The Red-eyed Demon Wolf laughed with satisfaction, pacing in the void.

"Human Race!"

He glared at Pang Jian, the beastly pupils flashing coldly, and sneered, "I shall spare your life!"

"I want you to use your voice to let the people of the Upper Realm, to let our kin in the Saint Spirit Continent know, that in the Extreme North Land of the Fourth Realm, an Ancient Demon Clan hidden for years in the Mysterious Fog has now emerged!"

As he spoke, he transformed back into a man with red hair.

With his blood-stained slender fingers, he pointed toward the Ferocious Beasts consuming their former masters and said, "There will be many more demons from Purgatory entering the Extreme North Land of the Fourth Realm, as they learn of our emergence."

"We have ways to awaken the spirit and ferocity of the Demon Race, to arouse the ancient bloodlines within them!"

"Those damned Alien Tribes from the Outer Domain Galaxy, they have been using vile substances like Bloodthirsty Liquid to turn them into creatures that know only to kill!"

"In the eyes of those beings, the Demon Race has never been seen as companions, only as a power source to be exploited."

"I, our Demon Race, will eradicate them!"

The eighth-level man with red hair expressed his inner rage aggressively, growing angrier as he spoke.

Pang Jian was startled, recalling the beast tides in the Third Realm, indeed created by the Alien Tribes using Bloodthirsty Liquid to make each Ferocious Beast explode with immense power at the cost of their lives.

The casualties of the Fifth Realm Alien Tribes were minimal in the war above; most of those who died were the beasts enslaved by them.

Then there were the cultivators of the Human Race who died fighting the beasts.

No wonder this Red-eyed Demon Wolf, with his high spiritual wisdom, upon leaving the Mysterious Fog, slaughtered the Alien Tribes that sensed his movements and let the beasts cannibalize their former masters.

After pondering for a moment, Pang Jian suddenly asked, "How do you plan to deal with the Dark Giant Python?"

He had already quietly put away the "Heart of Winter," and was ready to teleport away at any moment, keeping vigilant against this man from the Ancient Demon Clan.

But he was not afraid.

He did not have absolute confidence that he could defeat this eighth-level Ancient Demon, but if it was just about leaving... that was easy.

"Within the Dark Giant Python flows the bloodline of the Black Dragon. Once he understands the true reason for the Demon Race’s silence, and what those Alien Tribes have done, he will naturally become one of us!" the red-haired man declared confidently.

He suddenly stopped, not advancing further, and said in a cold voice, "But that Heaven Clan girl he serves, we will use her to exchange for high-level bloodline demons."

"A high-ranking demon, once its ancient bloodline erupts and awakens, will be a powerful ally for us!"

"And you..."

The red-haired man frowned slightly and muttered, "He actually calls you master as well."

Pang Jian’s mind raced as he asked, "To the north of the Solitude Mountain Range, there is a grey giant wolf. After he left, he went to the Saint Spirit Continent in the Second Realm. Are you related to him?"

Upon hearing this, the red-haired man was suddenly shocked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Pang Jian."

"Pang, Pang Jian..."

The level-eight Red-eyed Demon Wolf’s eyes, as if stained red with blood, began to show a different color.

He pondered earnestly and slowly said, "In Lake Heart Island, the soul of the Mysterious Turtle left, saying it was with your help. Inside Black Water Pool, a Dark Giant Python with a beast soul attached to a Black and White King Python also mentioned your name. And Yuan Qi, the grey wolf you referred to, he is my friend."

"He also mentioned you to me!"

"Pang Jian!"

The voice of the Red-eyed Demon Wolf grew louder.

Pang Jian, astonished, said, "Them, you’ve seen them all?"

"Of course, I’ve seen them!"

The Red-eyed Demon Wolf grimaced with a strange smile. Just as he was about to say something more, his expression changed and he cried out, "A powerful Alien Tribe is approaching! Pang Jian, do us a favor. Go tell all the creatures of Purgatory that we, the Ancient Demon Clan, have appeared in Northern Qi!"

"Please let the Ferocious Beasts and Spirit Beasts know of our existence!"

"Howl!"

He let out a fierce roar at the Ferocious Beast that had once feasted on its own master, then suddenly turned and flew towards the Mysterious Fog, adding, "You can find Yuan Qi to understand more about us!"

"Pang Jian, I have no enmity towards you! At least, not right now!"

All of the Ferocious Beasts, still with bone fragments in their mouths, flew off towards Northern Qi, shrouded in Mysterious Fog, along with him.

His words awakened the Ferocious Beasts, and they too wanted to know what they would become if their bloodline and ferocity were not suppressed but instead were stirred by their kind from the Ancient Demon Clan.

"Yuan Qi, Yuan Tongyuan, Qi as in Northern Qi, the ape of Northern Qi?"

Pang Jian was secretly astonished.

The words left by the level-eight Red-eyed Demon Wolf also piqued his intense curiosity, and he was eager to uncover the truth.

A moment later, his powerful Divine Sense swept over and he saw a ship filled with Devil Scale Tribe warriors roaring towards him.

Dozens of Devil Scale warriors, their natural armor gleaming, each wielding a Divine Weapon Sharp Blade.

The leader was the familiar Dazzling Shadow.

Behind Dazzling Shadow stood at least nine level-eight members of the Devil Scale Tribe.

It was this formidable force that compelled the Red-eyed Demon Wolf not to linger, to leave his sentence unfinished, and to hastily retreat into the Northern Qi enveloped in Mysterious Fog.

"Saint Spirit Continent, Yuan Qi, Mysterious Turtle, Li Yuqing."

Pang Jian’s brows twitched, and he impulsively activated the instant transport power of the "Purgatory Gate," reaching the Cloud Wilderness wooden house in Panshi Fragment Land.

After a quarter of an hour, Devil Scale Tribe warriors led by Dazzling Shadow "swooshed" out of the vessel.

They immediately saw the shattered remains of utensils and the mutilated limbs and flesh of the Yao Clan, Mountain Ghost Tribe, and Wood Tribe people.

The charred bones of the Alien Clan and severed heads evidenced the bloodshed on the battlefield.

"A terribly formidable Ferocious Beast has blasted them here and feasted on their flesh and blood."

One of the level-eight Devil Scale warriors looked towards the foggy north and said, "Yu Xin of the Heaven Clan must have also encountered fierce beasts in the Mysterious Fog-covered Northern Qi."

"I sense a Divine Object." Dazzling Shadow frowned and said, "The ice ball that Pang Jian was once seen standing on has appeared here!"

"Are you saying that the beasts have something to do with Pang Jian?"

"Maybe."

The Devil Scale Tribe warriors conversed while inspecting the battlefield, communicating with the nearby Yao Clan and Mountain Ghost Tribe through artifacts.

They soon learned that among the team that died here were two level-eight members from the Yao Clan and the Mountain Ghost Tribe.

"Miss Dazzling Shadow, I suggest we do not enter Northern Qi for now!"

The Devil Scale Tribe warrior assigned to follow her said with a suddenly stern expression, "We must wait for the people of the Yao Clan and Mountain Ghost Tribe to arrive. Then we can join forces to explore Northern Qi!"

He was afraid that Dazzling Shadow would lose her cool because of her grudge with Pang Jian and immediately step into Northern Qi, now drowned in Mysterious Fog.

"I’ll contact my father and arrange for a level-nine member of our clan!"

Dazzling Shadow was even more cautious, speaking gravely, "Tell the people of the Yao Clan and Mountain Ghost Tribe to bring at least one level-nine warrior each to collaborate! Ahead, in the Mysterious Fog within Northern Qi Fragment Land, something big is about to happen!"

"I’ve been paying attention, and not a single Ferocious Beast carcass has been left behind; it means that the beasts are all alive."

"The Ferocious Beast responsible for the tragedy of the Yao Clan, Mountain Ghost Tribe, and Wood Tribe must possess extremely high Spiritual Wisdom. He has persuaded these beasts to follow him."

"Such a ferocious beast, in the ancient times, was also known as a Great Demon, and its combat strength is beyond your imagination!"

As the daughter of Li Bai, Dazzling Shadow knew more secrets, making her even more cautious than the elder Devil Scale warrior advising her.
