The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 584 - 552 Reunion in the Fog_1

Chapter 584: Chapter 552 Reunion in the Fog_1

Dark Prison.

Moored silently near Mysterious Fog, there were several starships of this world.

Standing on a disc-shaped starship were numerous elders of the Dark Prison from various tribes, all looking towards two strangely shaped Altars of Praying to God.

One altar was shaped like a crescent moon, built with laboriously collected Star Cloud Stone, Void Cold Jade, and numerous other stones.

Around the other altar stood pillars, emitting a bone-chilling cold.

On the two altars, each sat a woman from the Dark Spirit Clan and another from the Shadow Clan.

Both of them were of the peak eighth-level bloodline.

As the saintess of the Dark Spirit Clan, Cui Ling once more detailed to the two women the method for summoning Alien God Spirits from the Outer Realm, reminding them to open themselves up and not to resist.

"No need to say more, as long as we can kill the Star Devourer, we will cooperate fully."

The Dark Spirit Clan woman, emanating an icy breath, said.

"I’ve absorbed the power of the stars, while He is the Moon Goddess, will this work?" the woman from the Shadow Clan asked anxiously.

Cui Ling replied, "He said the powers of the stars and the moon are interchangeable, so there shouldn’t be a big problem."

"That’s good." The woman from the Shadow Clan with the eighth-level bloodline sat upright on the crescent-shaped altar, waiting for the arrival of Ying Yue’s divine consciousness.

"Begin the ritual!"

The High Priest of the Dark Spirit Clan shouted.

Suddenly, ripples of space washed over the area, enveloping the two differently shaped altars, as if an invisible divine bridge that could penetrate the Outer Realm formed at the center.

Two intangible yet genuinely existing Divine Consciousnesses descended from beyond the heavens at that moment.

"What’s your name?"

An extremely cold will inquired of the Dark Spirit Clan member with the eighth-level bloodline, "There’s something I’ve considered for a while and have decided to clarify with you, to let you choose."

"Lis. My name is Lis." The Dark Spirit Clan woman, swirling with Extreme Cold Alien Power within her, respectfully responded with her soul’s voice, "Honorable Alien God Spirit, please help us kill the Star Devourer. For this, I’m willing to pay any price."

"Including death?" the Goddess of Cold Crystal asked.

Lis didn’t hesitate, "Including!"

The Alien Goddess of Cold Crystal from the Outer Realm fell silent for a few seconds, then said, "The descent of my Divine Consciousness has two possible paths. I can temporarily freeze your soul to take control of your body."

"In this situation, I’d be a cuckoo taking over the nest, and the compatibility with your body wouldn’t reach the optimal state."

"The second option is to erase your soul and infuse my Divine Consciousness as it dissipates. In such a state, known as possession, your soul would be scattered to the winds."

"Once I possess your body, the fit with your physical form will be higher by a level, and my power can be maximized."

"I allow you to choose for yourself."

Initially, the Goddess of Cold Crystal had not intended to clarify the situation with Lis, preferring to directly erase her soul and take over her body in the optimal form of possession.

But seeing these Dark Prison women, resolute in their willingness to die and prepared mentally for everything, She still felt they should be informed.

She felt they deserved the chance to choose.

"I choose the second option."

To Her surprise, Lis did not hesitate for a moment, her voice slightly cold, carrying endless resentment, "My brothers and sisters, who had become ninth-level warriors before me, had their souls devoured by the Star Devourer."

"My lord, I also have children, and they are also highly gifted."

"I hope that one day, when my children break through to the eighth-level bloodline like me, they will not fear the future, nor be strangled by the shadows hanging in the sky."

"My lord, I’m willing to have my soul erased, to let you descend in the most optimal state."

Lis opened her heart, waiting for death’s arrival.

At the same time, the woman from the Shadow Clan also made the same choice.

—Also willing to pay the price of their own deaths for a glimmer of hope for their race, for this world.

"The beings of Dark Prison will forever remember your names."

The two goddesses then no longer hesitated, and as they brought down their multiple Divine Consciousness, they decisively snuffed out the soul fires of the two eighth-level Alien Tribe powerhouses.

Thus, taking possession of their bodies in the most optimal state.

...

Several days later.

Purgatory, in front of the Mysterious Fog of the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, hung a colossal hive like towering mountains.

"Swoosh!"

Pang Jian arrived swiftly by sensing it, smiling at the Bee King who bore some resemblance to him, "I really owe you one for the recent events."

Without the Mysterious Turtle’s constant support of Spiritual Power and Qi and Blood, or the Bee King’s selfless Soul Energy irrigation, he would not have been able to successfully channel a seat of Godhood into his Sea of Consciousness.

When his Spiritual Soul wandered into the Mysterious Fog, heading to the Dark Prison world, the Bee King and the hive were still outside the Mysterious Fog.

—They were waiting for his successful return.

"You are the main, we are the support. If the main flourishes, all flourish together," said the Bee King.

The Bee King had a tall figure, a pair of golden compound eyes, transparent thin wings on his back, and was not entirely in human form.

"If you can step out of Purgatory, then you can also enter... the Netherworld Prison. Please, promise me that you will also explore Netherworld Prison for me, as that is my true homeland." The Bee King pleaded earnestly.

"Definitely!" Pang Jian promised solemnly.

"Enter the Mysterious Fog. A Bee Insect is prepared; just await your instant transfer," the Bee King said, moving the huge hive into the Mysterious Fog, "During your absence, I will release the Bee Insects to see where the entrance and exit of this region truly lie. Those Alien Tribes could enter the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land during the great calamity of a hundred thousand years, there must be a door with limitations."

Pang Jian’s eyes lit up.

The Bee King considered the situation thoroughly and knew that this Mysterious Fog was quite special, as it was the major passage connecting the Purgatory to the outer world.

Another group of warriors from the Ghost Clan, Earth Spirit Clan, and Black Horn Tribe arrived at the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land through the Mysterious Fog from different worlds, thereby initiating a sweep of the Human Race there.

The only thing was, the Mysterious Fog had restrictions based on bloodline levels for outsiders, not just anyone could enter.

However, since the Alien Tribes could come, it implied there were pathways, indicating that through the Mysterious Fog in this region, a connection with the outside world could be established.

After obtaining a large number of usable Bee Insects, as long as Bee King was willing to spend time and effort, he would surely find the entrance and exit to the connection with the outside in this vast and boundless Mysterious Fog.

"You’ve worked hard."

"We’ll speak upon your return."

Pang Jian activated his instantaneous movement and vanished in a flash within the Mysterious Fog.

When he reappeared, he was already at the location of a Golden Bee Insect, and what lay ahead was... the Boundary Wall.

Back then, it was at this Boundary Wall where he had a close encounter with Fan Di who had stumbled upon the place by chance.

As he offered up the Thunder Pond, Fan Di on the other side of the Boundary Wall suddenly went mad, desperately tearing and pounding at the Boundary Wall.

But it was all in vain.

This time, he decided to leave Purgatory with his True Body, choosing this Boundary Wall as well.

If he didn’t have the "Purgatory Gate" with him, he could only escape with his Immortal Primordial Spirit, taking the Divine Artifact away with the Immortal Primordial Spirit and passing through the Boundary Wall.

With the "Purgatory Gate," even his flesh body could pass through!

Like a fish entering the sea, the moment the "Purgatory Gate" became warm and those four rough characters emerged, Pang Jian easily passed through Purgatory’s Boundary Wall and smoothly arrived at another world shrouded in Mysterious Fog.

"It really works!"

Carrying the Thunder Pond, a slight use of its power allowed him to detect the presence of Fan Di.

He offered up the Spiritual Power Strong Shield to protect his flesh and blood body from erosion and immediately approached the location of Fan Di.

...

At the Boundary Wall leading to the Dark Prison.

Fan Di, who strayed into this place from the Ancient Demon World, still in the form of a huge golden skeleton, floated within the Mysterious Fog.

He remained motionless, quietly waiting for Pang Jian to seek him out.

To an ancient being like him, ten years or a hundred years were but a flick of the fingers, really nothing to fuss over.

The time since Pang Jian and he had parted ways and re-entered the Dark Prison World was at most a dozen or so days in the Dark Prison World.

This period of time was not even long enough for one of his naps in the past.

He was not anxious at all, didn’t feel time had passed for too long, and patiently waited for Pang Jian to reappear.

At a certain moment.

Fan Di suddenly woke from his deep thoughts, and in his eye sockets devoid of eyeballs, two balls of intertwining Thunder and Lightning fire "blazed" to life.

He felt it, a powerful existence just like him was stirring near the Dark Prison Boundary Wall, trying to find his way to him.

"Alien Gods from Outer Space."

Fan Di made the judgment right away, knowing that the action of the Star Devourer, which dragged a grey-yellow star into the Dark Prison, had attracted the attention of the external Alien Gods.

Pang Jian had also said that at that time, several shadows fell into the Mysterious Fog, attempting to trace the star-puller.

It seems that one of those Alien God Spirits had been searching and, after some effort, actually found the location of the Dark Prison.

"If I still had a third of my power available, I wouldn’t fear these Alien God Spirits who have strayed into the Mysterious Fog. The Demon Gods born from our Ancient Demon World are the true elites of our level. Detestable!"

Fan Di’s Divine Consciousness swayed a bit, and after hesitating briefly, decided to retreat.

Should he not leave, the approaching Alien God from the Outer Realm would surely find his way here.

If he left, he might forever miss meeting with Pang Jian, and they would no longer have the chance to see each other again.

Because the Mysterious Fog was vast and traceless, if he did not wait at a particular Boundary Wall but began to drift and wander again, he would naturally lose direction.

But he had no choice—if he didn’t leave, the Alien God from Outer Space would find him, and in his current state, he definitely had no divine calculations.

"Whoosh!"

Fan Di transformed into a shining silver lightning rainbow and streaked away.

The moment he moved, the soul power of the nearby Alien God from Outer Space also surged wildly.

"This is bad."

At that moment, Fan Di had a clear realization—the other party had already discovered him and was pretending to be unaware.

Seeing him suddenly flee, the other party no longer concealed themselves and immediately pursued at full power.

...

"Strange, why is he suddenly running?"

Pang Jian was puzzled amidst the Mysterious Fog.

By activating the power of the "Thunder Pond" within him, he could sense the Thunder Gods under heaven, and naturally, Fan Di was no exception.

It was precisely because of the existence of this Thunder Pond, coupled with his knowledge of Fan Di waiting at the Dark Prison Boundary Wall, that he would not get lost and could certainly return to the Dark Prison.

Fan Di’s erratic flight disrupted his steps, and he was forced to accelerate to catch up with Fan Di.

In order to prevent Fan Di from being too far from the Dark Prison such that, after they met, they too would have a hard time finding the Dark Prison again.
