The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 466 - 442: God vs God (1)

Chapter 466: Chapter 442: God vs God (1)

The Ice Armor Eel Dragon’s breath was like thunder and lightning, and it seemed very impatient.

It sensed the strength of that Five-clawed Golden Dragon, Long Zhan’s body would shrink tenfold because he had exhausted too much of his Qi and Blood power.

The mysteries of the Great Tao carved in Long Zhan’s Dragon Heart, the deep imprint in the Dragon Soul, had not faded in the slightest.

As long as it devoured Long Zhan’s Dragon Heart, the Ice Armor Eel Dragon could use Long Zhan’s innate Bloodline gifts to promote its own Bloodline transformation and deepen its understanding of its own talent.

It believed that this would qualify it to compete for the position of the Demon God!

"The direction is clear, but we can’t go there."

The Bee King stood on the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, at a dragon horn that looked like a piece of Cold Crystal, and commanded a nearby Bee Insect to move closer, then ordered the Bee Insect to stop well ahead of time.

It feared getting too close might cause it to be erased by that elusive Human True God.

"A True God has appeared next to the Five-clawed Golden Dragon. This is the second time he’s reached out to save someone."

The Bee King’s words were meant for the Ice Armor Eel Dragon and the White Fox Demon King to hear, but also for Pang Jian.

Because a connection through Soul Sensing had already been established between them.

"A Human True God? What does He intend to do by saving the Five-clawed Golden Dragon?"

The frightened and uneasy Ice Armor Eel Dragon still gave the Human True God enough respect to address Him with "He."

"I don’t know." The Bee King shook its head, glanced at the White Fox Demon King who had remained silent, only looking on, and asked, "Do you know anything?"

The White Fox replied in a fluster, "I have no idea!"

She, who hadn’t dared to make a move and was just watching, had earlier noticed the dire state of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon and thought that Long Zhan would die in the Mysterious Fog.

She had planned not to scramble for anything from Long Zhan’s body, and by leaving not a trace of his Dragon Breath inside her, the Old Thunder Dragon would be none the wiser.

——She just wanted to watch Long Zhan die.

She had also thought that Long Zhan would soon be dead; who could have imagined that a Human True God would suddenly appear and save Long Zhan?

"I’m doomed, Long Zhan saw me when he was escaping, at the dragon horn on your forehead. If he survives, he will surely kill me in the Purgatory World in the future."

The White Fox was filled with extreme regret; she hated herself for being overly curious, wishing she had not assumed Long Zhan was doomed and just came out to watch.

Now, she had once again brought disaster upon herself.

"How are you? Has your breakthrough been halted?" The Bee King secretly communicated.

"I feel like the breakthrough has ended. Inside my Dantian, when the Spiritual Sea disappeared and the Fragment Land presented itself completely, it seemed to have ended." Pang Jian pondered to himself and said, "This transformation was only of the Dantian; the Spiritual Soul hasn’t changed much, just been cleansed anew."

He stood up from his seated position and casually took up the Origin Demon Sword.

"This sword is not yet sturdy or sharp enough. If the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s dragon horn and claws were melted into this blade, it would elevate the sword’s material! Pang Jian, if that Five-clawed Golden Dragon dies, and you stab his dragon horn and claws with this sword, I can melt them!"

From many Demon Flames, urgent thoughts from the Source Demon emerged.

"Take out the Demon God Lamp, I want to swallow its flame too, to truly ignite the six Demon Realms! Pang Jian, I have already died once, I really have died before, this time I am willing to cooperate with you wholeheartedly!"

"Pang Jian, I’m serious this time!"

"I will no longer call you master; we can be allies, we can find a new way to interact."

"Pang Jian, I..."

The will of the Demon Soul of the Source Demon echoed through the entire mini-world within the sword, all its thoughts bursting forth.

Pang Jian, who was gripping the Origin Demon Sword, considered for a moment then summoned the Clear Oil Lamp from Hong Qiming, immediately following the instructions of the Origin Demon Sword, touching the tip of the blade to the lamp’s wick.

"Whoosh!"

The wick and oil of the Demon God Lamp entered the sword’s edge instantaneously.

The six wicked and strange secret realms within the mini-world of the sword suddenly came to life.

Those Demon Flames, Demon Lights, and Demon Clouds, part of the consciousness extension of the Source Demon, permeated the six Demon Realms. It seemed as though a connection was established with the Demon Realm of the Outer Star River, imprinting a deep mark of the Source Demon.

On the dark crystal-like sword body, six strange spots gradually appeared as if leading to secret realms beyond this world.

Pang Jian clearly felt the sword had acquired new peculiarities, undergoing more changes.

However, all the benefits belonged to the sword itself, attributed to the Source Demon.

"Pang Jian, let’s go kill that Five-clawed Golden Dragon. I had a suspicion earlier too; he’s full of malice towards your Human Race, he even wants to kill that white fox and..."

The Source Demon was excitedly ranting.

Through the dialogue of the Bee King with the White Fox and the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, he knew that Five-clawed Golden Dragon was about to die, but without the Bee Insect’s vision, he was unaware that a Human True God had suddenly intervened.

"There’s a Human True God who has suddenly appeared and saved the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, so we are unlikely to be able to kill him," Pang Jian revealed the details.

"A Human True God!"

The Source Demon was taken aback; its myriad Demon Souls communicated with one another, asking, "You can teleport instantly with the Bee Insect, can you get close enough to him?"

"Yes."

No sooner had he spoken than Pang Jian, holding the Origin Demon Sword, appeared as a Bee Insect closest to the Five-clawed Golden Dragon.

And this Bee Insect could not see the True God clad in silver armor, nor the critically injured Five-clawed Golden Dragon.

It only knew their approximate location.

Because the True God was too powerful and the range of his Divine Sense too broad, just appearing within the True God’s perception would cause it to be crushed to dust by the Divine Power.

"This distance... is enough! I can’t see, but I can sense the Dragon Soul of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, I know his thoughts."

"Ha ha, he indeed harbors malice towards the Human Race; even the Dragon Cave doesn’t truly want to ally with the Human Race. What the Old Thunder Dragon in the Dragon Cave really wants is to breed more level ten dragons."

"I can feel the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s sinister intentions, that after he becomes a level ten Demon God, he would ultimately turn against the Human Race."

"Dragon Cave, they haven’t even considered the Demon Race much. They only think of themselves, they only think of all the dragons that come from Dragon Cave."

After the fusion of the broken sword, the Source Demon resembled a true Demon God from the Outer Realm.

With the abilities it was born with, it analyzed the malicious thoughts of Long Zhan.

And Pang Jian, after it displayed all its power, also learned something through him.

Dragon Cave wanted to use Fan Ao’s downfall as a condition to form an alliance with the Human Race, and stated plainly that once Long Zhan became a level ten Demon God, he could tear apart the heaven’s forbidden of Purgatory and lead the strongest of Purgatory into the Star River.

The True God that refused to reveal his face intended to sacrifice Fan Ao to facilitate the alliance with Dragon Cave and wished to see Long Zhan tear apart the heaven’s forbidden in the future.

...

"You’re very lucky. Because your abilities are special and because you’re strong, you have been able to survive."

The True God clad in silver armor spoke to the Five-clawed Golden Dragon with an odd voice that was difficult to distinguish as male or female, revealing the truth.

"In the Mysterious Fog, there are numerous Ming Prison Soul Bees, and you might fall into a death trap again if you flee in the blood mist without knowing which direction you’re going."

"I will guide you on the path so you can exit this alien land as quickly as possible."

The True God led the way.

Finally getting some respite, Long Zhan, in the form of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, silently swallowed a Demon Heart to secretly restore his strength and followed the True God in silence.

He asked nothing, held back all the questions in his heart, and just obediently followed the True God.

...

Elsewhere.

"A True God."

Pang Jian pondered deeply for a long time, unsure how to kill this Five-clawed Golden Dragon out of the True God’s hands.

The Bee King, a level nine Ice Armor Eel Dragon, and the White Fox, even if they joined forces, it would only be a death in vain.

"It has to be another True God!"

With a flash of inspiration, Pang Jian immediately summoned more Bee Insects, infiltrating this domain shrouded in the grey Mysterious Fog, and began searching the world for Fan Ao from Taiyi Divine Kingdom!

Fan Ao certainly hadn’t lost hope and must still be searching for Long Zhan’s whereabouts within the Mysterious Fog!

Pang Jian didn’t know that Fan Ao was already aware of his current situation; he planned to tell Fan Ao, after finding him, about the proposal Dragon Cave had made to the Human True God.

"You take command of the Bee Insects to watch Long Zhan and that True God, to ascertain their general location. I’ll go find Fan Ao. With him against that one, we can then kill the Five-clawed Golden Dragon!"

"Alright."

The two secretly communicated, both searching with the vision of the Bee Insects.

In the Mysterious Fog, the number of Bee Insects quickly increased from a few dozen to several hundred.

After an unknown amount of time, Pang Jian exclaimed, "Found it!"

...

Fan Ao, who also lacked a sense of direction, sat atop the golden Spiritual Sea, his expression revealing exhaustion.

This was because his Divine Sense had been constantly expanding outward, without a moment of relaxation.

Even him—a True God of the present-day Human Race—would eventually wear out from the long-time consumption of Soul Power in the Mysterious Fog.

But he was unwilling to give up.

He knew very well that if he allowed Long Zhan to leave alive, it would be difficult for him to continue to protect the Divine Tao for the Human Race, and Long Zhan was very likely to promote to a level ten Demon God.

"Long Zhan must die here."

With this obsession in mind, Fan Ao wandered aimlessly in the Mysterious Fog, searching for the severely wounded Five-clawed Golden Dragon.

Then...

"Chen’s Storage Ring, Sword Tower Pang Jian!"

Fan Ao’s spirit was invigorated.

Within the range of his Divine Sense, a familiar object appeared, and he immediately knew that Pang Jian had appeared nearby.

"Swoosh!"

A moment later, the golden Spiritual Sea carried him directly in front of Pang Jian.

"To be honest, I intended to use this Storage Ring to lure Long Zhan out to Saint Spirit Continent. Initially, I did not wish to conceal my identity and was ready to reveal my true form and kill Long Zhan anywhere."

"But I didn’t anticipate that you would bring him into this Mysterious Fog."

"Within the Mysterious Fog, I could kill Long Zhan without anyone knowing; I thought it would go smoothly."

Fan Ao was straightforward, first stated his thoughts, then chuckled bitterly, "But now, I still haven’t succeeded. Pang Jian, Chen died in Saint Spirit Continent because of your invitation. You ought to bear some responsibility."

A True God at his stage would not speak nonsense nor pull relationships and emotions into the matter.

"Give me the item. I am pursuing Long Zhan, but currently, I don’t know his whereabouts. Because there’s another True God who doesn’t understand the threat posed by Long Zhan, he has already appeared once to save him."

Fan Ao gestured, and the Storage Ring fell into his palm.

"I know where Long Zhan is."

Pang Jian didn’t waste words, directly leading the way up front.

Just like that True God guiding the Five-clawed Golden Dragon.
