The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 558 - 530: A Great Victory_1

Chapter 558: Chapter 530: A Great Victory_1

"Jiang Ran won’t die easily; these evil spirits won’t show themselves so readily."

Li Fu from the Yuan Qing Divine Nation interjected from a hundred miles away.

An old and battered ship turned into a pile of iron rust, and the body of the Alien God Yang Luo, with a human face and spider’s torso, also turned into chaff and stone debris.

The ordinary-looking Li Fu merely took one step and arrived next to Jiang Fan.

Glancing into the dry well where the woman was still in the process of inheriting the Godhood, Li Fu sneered, "There is another who protects her path."

Jiang Fan, with a stocky build and long hair cascading over his shoulders, said expressionlessly, "Please trouble yourself to find them."

Li Fu released the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror.

The enormous mirror suspended in the sky, its surface shimmering with crystal light, reflected every nook and cranny of the area within it.

A dozen-meter-tall dead tree, its bark resembling dragon scales, silently appeared in the mirror’s reflection.

Also emanating a breath of death and stripped of its Plant Spirit Energy by the Black Wood Sect’s sect leader, within the tree was a man concealed.

This individual’s flesh fused with the tree’s dragon-scale-like bark, his sleek and refined body resembling a sharp and pointed knife.

When he realized he had been exposed, the old tree, dozen meters high, exploded in an instant.

"Whoosh!"

He condensed into a beam of black light, streaking towards the void outside the Fragment Land.

Jiang Fan sneered, "Black Horn Tribe, Chi Feng!"

A massive imperial crown suddenly materialized in the void, casting its shadows towards the fleeing Chi Feng.

"Boom!"

Behind the imperial crown, divine nations that had vanished in the river of history appeared one by one; the Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom, the Heavenly Divine Kingdom, and various others.

Those divine nations, once standing proudly on the lands of Eastland and boasting ancient civilizations, unleashed earth-shattering powers.

In the midst of those majestic and vast divine nations, seals, holy decrees, national scriptures, and maps of national altars wielding the air of majesty all unfolded.

Jiang Fan, as the founder of his Divine Country, who once single-handedly destroyed many nations and propelled the Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom to be the foremost in Eastland, was advancing to become a True God on the Imperial Path, borne by the Fate of numerous divine nations.

That imperial crown was his ultimate treasure, used to set order between heaven and earth and to subjugate the beings of divine nations.

Chi Feng of the Black Horn Tribe, attempting to escape into the Mirror Tunnel and return to the Fifth Realm, was immediately suppressed by the imperial crown.

Within the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror, Chi Feng’s image, when it came to a halt, suddenly became clear, and he was then confined by Li Fu’s Divine Artifact.

Higher up, the Ghost Mother also stepped forward.

Jiang Fan, Li Fu, and Ghost Mother – three True Gods acting in concert; this tenth-level warrior of the Black Horn Tribe was doomed to fall in Hongdu Fragment Land, with no chance of survival.

...

To the west of the Fragment Land.

Next to a crystal-clear stream, Li Wang suddenly appeared.

Li Wang squatted by the riverbank, smiling as he looked at the small stones at the bottom, and said, "He Motian, how long can you hide? Beneath the southern desert, inside the Earth Palace where we keep the Reincarnation Pool, we have also constructed a Space Teleportation Array."

"And this Array can directly affect those six Mirror Tunnels."

"The Mirror Tunnels He set up in the void have already lost their ability to shuttle back and forth, a fact you are surely aware of."

"In order to ambush you, we were prepared to abandon Hongdu Fragment Land, so how could we let you leave at leisure?"

As Li Wang spoke, Li Yuanli of the Heaven Treasure Sect and Dong Shangqing of the Ancient Law Sect also mimicked him and squatted beside the stream.

They had just arrived in Hongdu via the Teleportation Array set up in the Earth Palace, after the Ghost Mother.

The eyes of these three True Gods were all fixed on an inconspicuous black pebble at the bottom of the stream.

After a long while.

"The cunning and despicable nature of the Human Race is no less than that of us Outer Realm Demons," He Motian spoke faintly, "I never expected that after all my painstaking planning, possessing Xiang Shengwei’s Spiritual Soul, and barely managing to refine this Demon body, I would soon meet my downfall in Hongdu Fragment Land."

He truly felt regret.

What He and several Great Demon Gods had covertly prepared for was the feat of the Original Demon devouring Pu Zhaotian to complete his resurrection, which failed because Pu Zhaotian suddenly gave up the Divine Enthronement.

To this day, they still do not know where the Original Demon has been taken.

After their Demon Gods’ plan fell just short of success, the Sovereign of the Fifth Realm, working secretly behind the scenes, communicated with Zimo of the Ghost Clan at the peak, and in Hongdu Fragment Land facilitated an Ascension Path for two evil cultivators to advance to True Godhood.

In doing so, they aimed to lure the arrival of the Human True Gods and use six Mirror Tunnels to ambush and annihilate them.

As the leader of the Outer Realm Demons, He Motian, who had once been saved by that Sovereign, naturally responded with eager cooperation.

He was the demon star in the heavens, the Demon Heart that killed Shang Xiuchun, and had even swallowed Jiang Ran’s Spiritual Soul to control his body.

He managed to evade the Ghost Mother’s network, employed Secret Skills, and hid in the river before me, transforming into an inconspicuous pebble.

Unexpectedly, he was still tracked down by Li Wang.

"He Motian, you indeed underestimate our Human Race too much," Dong Shangqing of the Ancient Law Sect snorted coldly and said, "Do you really think that minor setback in the Third Realm, on the small continents of Black Nether and Universe Heaven, would be enough to break us? To leave us despondent?"

"If we were so easily defeated, how could we have ruled Purgatory for over thirty thousand years?"

Upon hearing this, the pebble at the bottom of the river suddenly released Demon Element Power.

Seconds later, the river turned deep and dark, filled with the Demon Element Power from He Motian.

Determined to fight, He asked at last, "Li Wang, how did you find me?"

"When the Demon Subduing Stone Niche shattered, a trace of starlight seeped into your Demon Soul. And that starlight, forged from guiding a hundred years of starlight congealed, is something not even the gods beyond could detect," Li Wang explained with a smile.

Dong Shangqing flicked his sleeve.

The compass he had refined slipped into the stream below, pulsating with surging demon power, and exploded into millions of radiant lights.

Within that radiance, countless tiny symbols suddenly shone, instantly forming the "Inverted Chaos Array," ensuring not even a sliver of Demon Thought from He Motian could escape.

Li Yuanli beamed with a brilliant smile.

Around the river, the void and the land suddenly showed Black Gold wood, precious gourds, iron sheen stones, Heaven-connecting bamboos, all drawn and guided by his Spiritual Soul, also forming a great array.

Named "Demon Binding," this was an unmatched array that Li Yuanli had just realized after the battles on the Demon Abyss Continent had ended.

Li Wang, Li Yuanli, and Dong Shangqing, three great True Gods, now joined forces for the second time, well-prepared for what was to come.

Even the true form of He Motian might struggle against them, let alone a Demigod body like Zimo’s?

...

Zimo, He Motian, Youkui, Yang Luo, Wubi, Chi Feng, and many other evil cultivators of utmost malevolence, would all inevitably sink into the depths of Hongdu Fragment Land.

This battle, long-premeditated by the Human True Gods, could be called an overwhelming victory.

The Alien Tribes of the Fifth Realm, with the surging Filth Alien Power, first invaded the Fourth Realm, and then the Third Realm, the situation was initially extremely favorable.

The Demon Race, having declared neutrality with the Dragon Cave, caused the Human Race to lose a constant ally.

The Demon Sect of the Demon Abyss Continent defected to the Alien Tribes, with evil cultivators spreading rumors everywhere, aiming to internally divide the Human Race.

In such an adverse situation, True Gods led by Li Wang and Ghost Mother seized the chance to silently prepare, sacrificing Hongdu Fragment Land and seven thousand righteous Individual Cultivators, in one fell swoop severely damaging the rampant opposing parties.

Zimo and He Motian with their Demigod bodies, the gradually strengthening Youkui and Yang Luo, all vanished from this world.

Wubi and Chi Feng, two Level 10 Alien Race warriors also fell.

This was a true substantial victory.

...

Hongdu City.

The battle between Tian Du San Ren and Mu Wentao had already ceased.

Clad in silver armor, keeping his head hidden and tail exposed, Mu Wentao glanced at the crystal-like glow descending from the heavens into Pang Jian’s mind and then suddenly vanished within the city.

No one knew where he went, nor did anyone pursue him.

He was one of the Human True Gods, the little junior brother of the Ghost Mother, and his life or death would be decided by her.

After he left, Tian Du San Ren came beside Pang Jian, stroking his chin in contemplation.

"In Pu Zhaotian’s absence, I shall protect your Dao," he remarked.

"However, your path to Divine Enthronement is one that no one should interfere with. Success or failure, life or death – it all relies on you alone."

"And what I can do is simply to ensure that no one disturbs you."
