Chapter 544: Chapter 518: The Grand Endeavor to Create a God_1

Rumors began to spread throughout the Second Realm that those who succeeded in cultivating Secret Sorcery Skills could eventually be pardoned.

Various Evil Skills then emerged in many Fragment Lands of the Second Realm, available for those who saw no hope to cultivate.

The result was that the majority of cultivators of Evil Skills could not adapt, and they perished miserably on their cultivation path.

Now, actual demonic cultivators have suddenly made their appearance, converging in the Hongdu Fragment Land from all directions.

The hidden mastermind behind the scenes had done so much to create chaos, to first divide the Human Race from within, and ultimately to drive the most wicked evil cultivators to assault the True God Realm.

Compared to the creation of an Evil God, the Gui Sacrificial Sect’s pursuit of Tianze and his act of slaying Xing Heng were just minor episodes in the grand scheme of things.

So far, no evil cultivators from the Immortal Realm have set their sights on him and Tianze, which shows their survival is of no consequence.

The creation of an Evil God is what truly matters.

Once a Human True God inclined towards the Alien Gods from Outer Space is created in Hongdu Fragment Land, the situation of the Human Race will worsen significantly.

It’s precisely because no such Evil God had emerged that sects like the Bone Gate, Blood Prison Sect, and Black Wood Sect never became a significant threat.

No matter how strong the evil cultivators become, at most, they can only reach the Immortal Realm.

Facing the siege of more than a dozen True Gods of the righteous path, what resistance can these so-called evil cultivators and Evil Demon Sects have?

If an actual Evil God emerges, the internal structure of the Human Race will shift dramatically.

Perhaps then, many exceptionally talented cultivators will seek to charge towards Godhood using the path of the demonic.

This is an event that could cause a major internal split within the Human Race!

Realizing this, Pang Jian felt a chill run through his entire body.

The Alien Tribes of the Fifth Realm, and the God Spirits behind them, seemed inactive in the lower worlds, but in secret, they never stopped trying to diminish and subvert the Human Race’s existing power.

"It will start with the convergence of Spiritual Energy, and then it will be the clouds of Godhood flowing into Hongdu. The Human True Gods of the Purgatory World will sooner or later become aware of this," he said.

"Those two evil cultivators wouldn’t dare to do this without strong backing forces."

Pang Jian’s eyes flickered as his mind raced.

"Sword Tower, those Immortal Realm Elders must not rush to Hongdu! Those who wish to create two Evil Gods must have taken into account even the interference of the Human True Gods. For the Sword Tower’s Immortal Realm Elders to come would be purely to court death."

"They have supported me in such a way, sparing no expense. How can I stand by and watch them die in Hongdu?"

"Bee Insect!"

Pang Jian, ignoring Tianze’s abnormal condition, immediately established a soul connection with the Bee Insects he had placed in the Panshi Fragment Land.

...

Cloud Wilderness.

Qi Qingsong sat restlessly, conversing with Zhou Qingchen and Zhuang Yuyan.

From time to time, he glanced at the symbols within the Sword Command to stay informed of major events in the world.

A golden Bee Insect flew out of a hollow tree and landed suddenly in the middle of the trio.

"Pang Jian!"

Having spent time in the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, they knew it represented Pang Jian the moment they saw the Bee Insect.

"Listen carefully to what I say."

True to expectation, the Bee Insect spoke rapidly, "Qi Qingsong, my Sword Command shattered before I could escape from Hongdu Fragment Land, and for now, I can’t contact the elders."

"You must immediately tell them that I have escaped from the Hongdu Fragment Land, and they should not come to rescue me from the Fragment Land!"

"Quick! Send the message now!"

Qi Qingsong was stunned for a moment, and did not relay the message immediately.

It was Zhuang Yuyan, who without hesitation, grabbed the Sword Command and communicated with her Shifu Guanghe, condensing Pang Jian’s words into a short message: "Shifu, Pang Jian has left Hongdu Fragment Land, do not go there!"

"And there’s more!"

Zhuang Yuyan, not waiting for Pang Jian to finish, made her own judgment, "In Hongdu Fragment Land, there must have been a drastic turn of events, wait for my message! Remember, first stop the Sword Boat!"

Having said this, she turned to the golden Bee Insect, "The Sword Boat has stopped. Pang Jian, continue, what exactly happened in Hongdu Fragment Land?"

The Bee Insect began, "Two Immortal Realm evil cultivators, with the push of the Alien Gods from Outer Space and the help of the Fifth Realm’s Alien Tribes, have already begun assaulting Godhood in Hongdu Fragment Land."

As soon as these words were spoken, both Qi Qingsong and Zhuang Yuyan trembled as they gripped the Sword Command.

Zhou Qingchen shook violently, rising from his seated position with a thunderous movement.

...

Under a night sky devoid of the round moon and twinkling stars, a Sword Boat came to an abrupt halt.

Jiang Ran, Yao Junhong, Wang Ce, Guanghe.

The four Great Elders of the Sword Tower, with each holding a Sword Command and all with grim expressions.

The atmosphere within the Sword Boat was extremely oppressive.

The sharp Sword Intent of these four Immortal Realm Elders was almost tangible.

The dispersal of their Sword Intent caused the deck, made of special steel, to be marked with deep sword grooves.

For extraordinary beings like them, their inner Sword Intent would not be revealed unless they experienced an intense emotional shock.

"Pang Jian, we don’t want the four of us to die,"

Guanghe, who usually spoke the least, was the first to speak, his voice indescribably tired and heavy, "The message has been sent to Xu Yu at the earliest opportunity. She will inform Li Wang of Jiuli Sect, Liu Fu of Yuan Qing Divine Nation, Li Yuanli of Heaven Treasure Sect, and Su Wenrou of Pure Land about this unprecedented, terrifying event that has taken place in the Hongdu Fragment Land."

"Those True Gods of the Human Race will soon know what is happening here in the Hongdu Fragment Land at this very moment."

"And we..."

Guanghe was very calm as he said, "should heed Pang Jian’s wish and not approach the Hongdu Fragment Land any further. Since they aim to create gods, and not just one but two Evil Gods at once, we are certainly not capable of stopping them."

Yao Junhong took a deep breath and said, "Such an abominable event has never happened before! Demonic cultivators dare to steal the fate of Purgatory and, under the influence of Alien Gods from Outer Space, attempt to ascend to True Godhood!"

"I’m certain I killed Lv Qinghe." Jiang Ran’s frown was so deep, it could kill mosquitoes. He gazed in the direction of Hongdu Fragment Land and said gravely, "I remember very clearly, I slashed him into a heap of broken bones, and my Sword Intent shredded his Spirit Sea of Consciousness."

"Can someone revive even after that?"

Jiang Ran found it hard to accept.

Destroying that Bone Gate and killing the Bone Saint, Lv Qinghe, had always been a matter of pride for him.

The standing Bone Gate and the reappearance of Lv Qinghe now felt like a resounding slap across his face.

"I don’t believe Lv Qinghe is still alive!"

"If he truly is, then I will make him die again!"

"Even after the True Gods receive the message and descend upon the Hongdu Fragment Land, it will take some time. Those Alien Gods from the Fifth Realm might not yet be ready."

"I want to take the risk and explore, I want to try and strangle those two Immortal Realm evil cultivators before they become a significant threat."

"I am determined to face death, and there’s no need to dissuade me!"

The Great Elder, Jiang Ran, abandoned the Sword Boat, and, as a lone man with a sword, turned into a streak of sword light and left.

His cultivation level was the highest, possessing the combat power of the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm.

He was also an ancient Sword Cultivator from the Sword Tower, and even a common tenth-level Bloodline Fighter might not necessarily defeat him with certainty.

Apart from Li Zhaotian from the same Sword Tower, he didn’t even take Xiang Shengwei of the Demon Sect seriously, as he had confidence in his own combat abilities!

Despite knowing the dangers of the Hongdu Fragment Land and that Pang Jian had urgently sent a message precisely because he didn’t want him and Yao Junhong and the others to die in vain, Jiang Ran still sought a quick and decisive opportunity to solve the chaos within a perilous situation for the sake of the Human Race.

...

In the Hongdu Fragment Land, the southern desert.

Pang Jian, who had successfully sent out the message, sighed deeply.

Looking at the star and moonless black night sky, he was prepared to use the "Purgatory Gate" at any moment to leave this Fragment Land.

Even though he had the power to slay Xing Heng, he did not feel that he could change the current situation.

He would leave this place of trouble as soon as Dong Tianze finished assimilating the Blood God Skill, leaving this grand event of creating Evil Gods to the True Gods to handle.

"Pang Jian!"

Lin Miaojin of Wind Listening Tower and the Individual Cultivator Huang Qi, fumbled their way here.

Their cultivation levels were insufficient; they could not sense the abnormal flow of Spiritual Energy and did not know what those evil Sects were scheming.

Yet they were aware that each direction of the Hongdu Fragment Land, east, south, west, and north, was sealed by evil cults.

They came to Pang Jian simply because he had the strength to slay beings of the Immortal Realm and sought to find a way to survive through him.

"You..."

Pang Jian found himself in a difficult position.

The secret of the "Purgatory Gate" could be shared with Dong Tianze, but Lin Miaojin from Wind Listening Tower, as well as Huang Qi, did not have a close enough relationship with him for that.

Could they be trusted to keep his secret after the fact?

"The skill he is cultivating doesn’t seem to be a Secret Skill of the Yin Spirit Temple."

Lin Miaojin of Wind Listening Tower had intended to seek Pang Jian’s help. Upon glancing at Dong Tianze, she saw the Blood God Skill covering his face slowly disappearing into his flesh.

The numerous blood-red characters, mixed with Dong Tianze’s Spiritual Soul, were merging into his body.

Just one look at Dong Tianze made Lin Miaojin’s scalp tingle and her veins ache, as if the flow of her blood was being controlled by Dong Tianze.

"This is the sorcery of the Blood Spirit Sect!"

Lin Miaojin froze for a few seconds, then, screaming, fled faster than she had come.

As she fled, she shouted, "Pang Jian, you can’t protect him, he has already fallen into the demonic path! I suggest you leave him at once, or... find the resolve to put him down!"

Huang Qi stood still, confused and alarmed, "Pang Jian, he..."

"Even if he has become an Evil Demon, I will bring him back to the right path." Pang Jian waved his hand calmly, indicating Huang Qi to leave, and revealed, "The evil cultivators pouring into the Hongdu Fragment Land include two making their way to True Godhood. Their ascension has only just begun; it’s best for you to hide in some inconspicuous place."

"Make sure you hide well and don’t show yourself in the Fragment Land."

"The True Gods should have received the news by now and may be on their way here. Just wait for those True Gods to resolve the crisis in the Hongdu Fragment Land."

As his words fell, the evil skill known as the Blood God Skill had fully merged into Dong Tianze.

At that moment, Dong Tianze opened his eyes.
