The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 458 - 435 Return to the Mysterious Fog_1

Chapter 458: Chapter 435 Return to the Mysterious Fog_1

The Fourth Realm, the Extreme North Land.

"Hu! Huhu!"

Lord Li Bai was the first to appear.

Following him were Yu Qing, Dazzling Shadow, Yu Xin, and many warriors from the Devil Scale Tribe, Yao Clan, Flame Clan, and other Alien Tribes.

The many young elites from various Alien Tribes that the outside world had thought were massacred by the Demon Race in Northern Qi, shrouded in Mysterious Fog, had all safely returned.

"Lord Li Bai!"

A ninth-level warrior from the Ghost Clan, representing their worshipped Alien God Zimo, came forward to inquire about the situation.

Lord Li Bai, with a calm expression, said, "I will personally communicate with Him."

The current chieftain of the Devil Scale Tribe closed his eyes and spread out his Demon Soul, relying on his bloodline secret skill and an artifact, he instantly established a connection with several existences in the Fifth Realm.

An hour later, Lord Li Bai opened his eyes and said, "Let’s go."

The ships that had been moored there to greet them had already approached, picking them up one by one.

Surprisingly, the ships were heading toward the Third Realm.

...

The Third Realm, Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands.

The warriors of the Mountain Ghost Tribe suddenly received new orders to treat those Ferocious Beasts, whose Spiritual Intelligence was not particularly remarkable, with kindness.

No one was allowed to feed the Ferocious Beasts with Bloodthirsty Liquid anymore.

Watching those beasts with savage eyes inclined to kill, always knowing only slaughter and devouring, the Mountain Ghost Tribe warriors felt regret.

With the help of Bloodthirsty Liquid, the bloodline level of Ferocious Beasts could be instantly raised, unleashing terrifying combat power in a short time, making them an excellent weapon for breaching fortifications.

Recently, their use and reliance on Bloodthirsty Liquid had become more proficient and dependent.

Asking them to suddenly stop enhancing Ferocious Beasts with Bloodthirsty Liquid and to treat them well, the Mountain Ghost Tribe warriors felt quite uneasy.

Soon, an eighth-level Ice Roc appeared.

Above the mostly fifth and sixth-level Ferocious Beasts, the great eighth-level Ice Roc flapped its wings and sprinkled viscous blood like rainwater.

And the Ferocious Beasts, like they were licking Bloodthirsty Liquid, eagerly licked up the new blood.

The intelligence of the Ferocious Beasts made rapid progress in a short time.

These creatures, deemed as livestock by the Mountain Ghost Tribe, now had an ancient and drawn-out aura, and their combat power had also noticeably increased.

"Bloodline Awakening!"

"Spiritual Intelligence Revival!"

"The Ferocious Beasts, they have undergone a transformation and ascension!"

The Mountain Ghost Tribe warriors were astounded.

"You may now begin your assault on the lands."

The Ice Roc that had come from the Northern Qi Fragment Land spoke to the Mountain Ghost Tribe warriors and those Ferocious Beasts who had just been enlightened with intelligence and bloodline, "The Xuan You Continent is nearby."

...

The night was deep, stars and moon obscured.

Qian Tian Continent.

Oddly-shaped Cloud Sails and Alien Tribes’ flying artifacts took to the skies from nearby Fragment Lands, taking advantage of the night.

The artifacts quietly closed in on Qian Tian Continent.

Qi Qingsong, who was immersed in dreams, fashioning his Spiritual Soul with sweet dreams, was awakened by a clamor.

The moment he opened his eyes, he sensed astonishing rumbling vibrations from the ground beneath his feet, and in the pitch-black distance, a glow suddenly lit up like ghostly flames.

"Alien Tribes have set foot on Qian Tian Continent!"

"Their offensive has arrived!"

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

The wailing and growling sounds of a cataclysm erupted from where the Cultivators gathered.

"Sister Zhuang, the war has begun!"

Qi Qingsong drew his sword and joined the ranks formed by the Sword Tower Cultivators, beginning to participate in this struggle for the survival of their race.

...

The Second Realm, Yuan Ji Fragment Land.

After the Sword Boat landed, Dong Wenjian and Lin Manhe transferred via a Space Teleportation Array in haste, rushing back to the Ancient Law Sect.

Pang Jian had made it clear that he would not return to the Sword Tower for the time being, nor would he join the battle in the Third Realm, which left Hu with no choice but to return to the Sword Tower alone to report the situation to the Great Elders.

Before leaving, Liou Youyu specifically handed over Fan Chen’s Storage Ring to Pang Jian, expressly stating that it was the will of the True God from the Taiyi Divine Kingdom.

Before her departure, she mentioned that the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror could be used to communicate with her ancestor, Liu Fu.

Originally, she intended to bring all of Fan Chen’s belongings back to Eastland, but after a direct communication between Fan Ao and her ancestor, she was told to entrust Fan Chen’s belongings to Pang Jian for safekeeping.

Pang Jian, unaware of the circumstances, accepted it somewhat bewilderedly.

Filled with guilt over Fan Chen’s death, he felt that perhaps the day would come when someone from Taiyi Divine Kingdom would retrieve the Storage Ring and question him sternly.

He was prepared for any grilling from the Taiyi Divine Kingdom.

"Pang Jian, where are we going?"

Zhou Qingchen and Dong Tianze looked at him.

"I’m taking you to a good place. Don’t ask too many questions, just follow me," Pang Jian said.

Pang Jian summoned the Origin Demon Sword and wielded it through the void.

Zhou Qingchen and Dong Tianze exchanged a look and then promptly followed after him.

After the group had disappeared, Elder Mu Aichuan, who had not shown himself before, finally appeared, clutching the Sword Command, and sent messages to all sides to report safety.

...

In the void.

"Why are you following us?"

Pang Jian turned his head to look at the White Fox, whose wounds had mostly healed and no longer bore visible cracks, and reminded her, "It’s only in the Extreme North Land of the Fourth Realm that you will find the Demon Race that can awaken all of your bloodline."

After receiving Long Zhan’s promise, the White Fox no longer resisted letting him heal her wounds.

So, before the Sword Boat arrived at Yuan Ji Fragment Land, he had already started healing the White Fox several times.

Since the White Fox’s demon body was not strong, the healing process was relatively easy, so her injuries were no longer a major issue.

Even the severed demon veins had been reconnected by Pang Jian through the miraculous life alien power of the Corrosion Boundary Vine.

He really didn’t understand why this White Fox Demon King still had any reason to cling to him.

"I don’t want to go to the Fourth Realm, and currently, I have nowhere else to go," the White Fox said softly, looking at him, "I will follow you until I figure out where I should go."

Pang Jian, originally planning to take Zhou Qingchen and Dong Tianze to Panshi Fragment Land for a while to let them know of the fragment land’s existence, felt a headache because of the White Fox’s pursuit.

As of today, he could let Zhou Qingchen and Dong Tianze know about the existence of that fragment land.

Of course, the White Fox could not.

"We’ll stay in touch through the Ghost Altar, and after a while, I’ll guide you two to a place."

Pang Jian tapped his storage ring and gave Dong Tianze a meaningful look.

Afterward, he split up with the two of them and deliberately flew on his sword towards the location of the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land.

Yuan Ji Fragment Land was not far from the Mysterious Fog that shrouded the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, and now he didn’t need to rely on the Sword Boat, as he could fly with his realm’s cultivator’s powers.

The moment he moved, the White Fox followed suit, also streaking through the air.

"Alright."

Dong Tianze, who understood the plan, casually chose a direction with Zhou Qingchen and went far away.

The seemingly casual direction they took was precisely where Panshi Fragment Land was hidden.

...

One day passed.

Pang Jian, who hadn’t hurried to use the "Purgatory Gate’s" instant teleportation technique, still hadn’t managed to shake off the White Fox, but instead, had gradually approached the Mysterious Fog where the Bee Insects were.

At this moment, he suddenly changed his mind.

He planned to see the current situation of the Bee King and whether there had been any anomalies in the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land.

After all, he had left a piece of Mysterious Turtle shell in the Cloud Wilderness cabin, allowing him to instantly teleport to Panshi Fragment Land at any time.

If the Mysterious Turtle sent a signal, all he needed was to ignore the White Fox and instantly return to Panshi Fragment Land, then let the Mysterious Turtle convey his arrival.

A few hours later, he reached the area shrouded in the thick Mysterious Fog that no one had cared about in years.

"I know this place, it’s called Absolute Sky Forbidden Land. I’ve heard that only people below the Spirit Condensation Realm and demons below level six are allowed to enter," the White Fox said coldly with her demon pupils.

"The rules within the Mysterious Fog are not immutable. What was true before may be different now," Pang Jian explained and then conjured a Spiritual Power Strong Shield before plunging into it.

Inside the familiar grey and obscure Mysterious Fog, he didn’t feel the sensation of any rule transcending the gods imposing a severe punishment on him.

He didn’t feel as though his spiritual soul was about to shatter or his body was going to succumb to death.

"The rules really have changed."

Muttering to himself, he immediately established a connection with the bee insects inside, guessing that inevitably, a Golden Bee Insect would be near the Mysterious Fog’s boundary leading to Purgatory World.

True to his guess, a Ming Prison Soul Bee deliberately placed nearby by the Bee King instantly connected with him.

Through this Bee Insect, along with his Soul Wandering Realm level spiritual soul, he immediately sensed the beehive.

In the forest of the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, the beehive looked like a gigantic golden mountain, with many Bee Insects moving in and out.

Many Bee Insects had developed their own spiritual intelligence and were communicating and transmitting messages to one another.

Yet, the Bee King was still in a state of transformation, unawakened.

It had been a long time since Pang Jian had left that Mysterious Fog, and the spiritual wisdom of numerous Bee Insects had burst forth, but the Bee King still existed in the form of a bee pupa.

"No wonder so much time has passed without any Ming Prison Soul Bees leaving the Mysterious Fog; I hadn’t sensed a single one."

As Pang Jian expressed his sentiments, the Origin Demon Sword he was controlling suddenly let out a piercing wail.

The Source Demon had been completely extinguished by him, and all the Demon Thoughts had been cleansed. Without an Artifact Soul, the Origin Demon Sword was just a blade, and its sudden wail took Pang Jian by surprise.

Projecting his Divine Sense into it, he then saw a speck of Demon Flame spontaneously generate from nothing.

A single spark can start a prairie fire, and after the emergence of this speck of Demon Flame, more and more Demon Fires, Demon Clouds, and Demon Lights began to surface within the sword’s world.

This included the six secret realms from the Demon God Lamp.

"Pang Jian..."

A Demon Soul belonging to the Source Demon fluctuated, "You, you have completely killed me once. You have stifled and obliterated all thoughts and consciousness that belonged to me."

"Yes, it’s my own fault, it’s me who is humiliated once again."

More and more specks of Demon Flame, Demon Cloud, and Demon Light gradually took shape, and the dead Source Demon became active again within the little world of the sword.

"The fact that I can exhibit a strand of Demon Soul and find back the dissipated parts of myself in the Sword Boat world is because I sensed another me! The part of the sword that broke off is somewhere in this Mysterious Fog! My Demon Thoughts are able to reunite because another part of me has touched this sword!"

"Because it is also me, as long as there’s a single thought, hundreds of thoughts can arise!"

"So I have come back to life!"

The Source Demon’s defiant voice rose again.

"Swoosh!"

The White Fox Demon King arrived suddenly.

The snow-white, fox-shaped Demon King saw Pang Jian in the Mysterious Fog and screamed in a shrill voice, "Pang Jian, run! Run as far as you can! Long Zhan is coming, he’s definitely here to kill us! He didn’t dare kill you on the Saint Spirit Continent for fear that Pu Zhaotian, after becoming a god, would trace it back to Dragon Cave, so he chose outside the Saint Spirit Continent!"

"Run quickly!"

The White Fox screamed desperately.

Pang Jian’s soul shook, and by the time the White Fox drew near, he grabbed the Mountain Beaver without hesitation and activated the instant teleportation mode.

He instantly teleported to the nearest Golden Bee Insect.
