Chapter 586: Chapter 554 Fulfilling the Promise_1

At first, when the gods of the human race broke free from Purgatory and stepped into the Outer Domain Galaxy, they did not suffer the encirclement of the other gods.

During that time, the gods of the human race and the many deities in the starry sky could still coexist peacefully.

However, as the number of gods from the human race leaving Purgatory gradually increased, they slowly formed a considerable force.

At this stage, those human gods no longer concealed their skills, beginning to wield their power openly.

Thus, they shone brightly, illuminating the vast starry heavens.

Once they had left Purgatory and soared into the Outer Star River, the gods of the human race became the most notable deities.

At the zenith of the human gods’ power, something happened, and together they destroyed the Hall of Gods, suffering severe losses themselves.

From then on, the human gods began to be targeted collectively by the Alien God Spirits, and their decline set in.

Following the destruction of the Hall of Gods, the deities pursued the surviving gods of the human race across the starry heavens, causing one after another to fall.

The human gods who survived were also cautious and hidden, seldom showing themselves.

As for Purgatory, the birthplace of the human gods, it was naturally guarded vigilantly by the other gods, and a few "Observers" set up a Surveillance Magic Array among the stars above it.

If there were any abnormalities in the Purgatory Heaven Forbidden, the "Observers" would know immediately, and deities would arrive via spatial arrays.

This also meant that those who successfully breached the Heaven Forbidden had little chance to shine in the Outer Domain Galaxy before being collectively bombarded by the gods.

To this day, the gods of the human race have gradually faded into obscurity in the Outer Heavens.

Yet, their renown still echoes.

Naga and Naji, who are recent successes from the Sea Clan in ascending to the position of Water God, are not clear on the reasons for the rise and fall of the human gods, and they have never seen a real god of the human race.

Pang Jian is the first.

"Yet another Sword God!"

The female Water God Naji, gazing at the massive Black Gold Demon Sword, felt her eyes sting with the sword’s light.

With a grave expression, She exclaimed, "Be careful, I have heard that the Sword Gods of the human race are most terrifying."

"Of course, I know that," Naga said, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Pang Jian!"

From the depths of Fan Di’s hollow eye sockets, a sea of interwoven light from thunder and lightning overflowed with horror.

Being so close at last allowed Him to understand a fact, to perceive the truth.

As a Thunder God from the Outer Heavens, He had risked venturing into the Mysterious Fog from the Ancient Demon World, hoping to find the strange treasure left by the Thunder God in Thunder Prison, which was now within Pang Jian.

At the start, the Strange Treasure He sensed through the Boundary Wall was that Thunderbolt Artifact.

Because of the existence of the Boundary Wall, His perception had not been accurate.

Now, with no Boundary Wall and Pang Jian deliberately dispersing the aura of the Thunder Pond, He understood the whole story.

"So, that thing was not in Thunder Prison after all..."

Suddenly Fan Di felt that the years of turmoil and the struggles within the Mysterious Fog had all been misguided from the start.

No wonder Lei Meng Beast God, who also hailed from the Ancient Demon Clan, had failed to take possession of the Thunder Pond for Himself.

"Tss!"

The giant Black Gold Demon Sword halted, with Pang Jian’s small figure surrounded by a Spiritual Power Strong Shield, appearing at the tip of the sword.

"Sea Clan’s Water Gods."

From within the sword, the Source Demon transmitted, speaking calmly, "Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, are the foundations of the Great Tao’s five elements. When you used your Demon Element Power to transform into the Demon Sea, you compensated for the missing Water Tao. That Demon Sea can certainly be classified as part of the Water of Divine Realm, but it’s not genuinely authentic."

"The two Water Gods from the Sea Clan in front of you are indeed the truest bearers of the Water Tao. Why not kill Them to truly complete your Water Divine Tao?"

"Their deaths will make you stronger."

"Pang Jian, congratulations on finally possessing the power to hunt and kill deities in the Outer Heavens."

"As a Low-rank God, I believe you have the combat power to fulfill your desire smoothly."

The Source Demon spoke more and more excitedly.

All gods of the human race, when they have forged a Divine Tao and successfully ascended to True God, are considered a primary Low-rank God.

Just like Fan Di, like Lei Meng Beast God, like Naga and Naji, they are also Low-rank Gods.

As a Low-rank God, Pang Jian, who carries three Divine Artifacts, possesses a mysterious Divine Body, and conceals many secrets of the Great Tao, will surely not fear the Sea Clan’s Water Gods.

After the battle with Li Chu, even the Source Demon was full of confidence.

"To complete the Water Tao..."

Pang Jian’s spirit stirred, curiously observing the two Water Gods in front of him, one restraining Fan Di, and he said indifferently, "The two of you, is He getting in your way?"

The two Water Gods, with human heads and serpent bodies, differed greatly in physique and soul aura from the Demon King Yuan Min that he had met on the Saint Spirit Continent.

Yuan Min was a pure Primordial Serpent; without transforming into human form, he was just a massive, winding snake, lacking a human head.

Yuan Min was essentially from the Ancient Demon Clan, with a robust Demon body and a slightly weaker soul.

But these two Water Gods’ original forms were with human heads and serpent bodies; not only were they exceedingly intelligent, their soul fluctuations were also tumultuous. On the contrary, their Divine Body felt far weaker than Fan Di’s.

In essence, they were so-called Alien Tribes from the Outer Heavens, not Ancient Demons.

Pang Jian, who had left the Purgatory World and began to explore the Outer Domain Galaxy, was filled with curiosity about all the Alien God Spirits and wanted to understand the form and alliances of the outer deities.

So, he didn’t rush to draw his sword.

"Do you recognize each other?" Naga was taken aback.

An obscure deity from the Human Race, and this Ancient Demon Clan’s demon god on the brink of death—were they allies?

Naga thought deeply, wondering if they stood a chance even with the addition of Pang Jian.

"I do." Pang Jian gave Fan Di a deep look and suddenly said, "In the Dark Prison, there’s nothing that can help you recover your thunder properties."

At these words, Fan Di’s hope was utterly dashed, feeling that his path to recovery was indefinitely far off.

"However, there is in Purgatory." While speaking, Pang Jian gestured for Fan Di to come closer.

Fan Di’s spiritual soul was shaken.

He knew that Pang Jian could traverse the Dark Prison and Purgatory, and the Pang Jian before him was of flesh and blood, not the previous form.

This made him suddenly realize that after Pang Jian had come and gone from the Dark Prison, he had stealthily made a trip back to Purgatory.

That is to say, if Pang Jian wasn’t deceiving him, he currently possessed the thunder treasures capable of extending his life!

"Boom!"

Fan Di’s golden skeletal frame erupted with a thunderous roar, and hundreds of incandescent balls of lightning rolled down from his bone wings.

As the lightning orbs fell, they suddenly turned into thick bolts of golden lightning, piercing through the black sea like a luminous waterfall.

The Water Divine Realm, meticulously refined by Naga with the Water God’s power, was immediately riddled with holes.

It was at this moment that Naga understood that this Ancient Demon Race’s Thunder God refrained from rashly using his Thunder Divine Power simply because he had limited remaining strength.

If this Thunder God hadn’t been lost in the Mysterious Fog for years and was at his peak, the two of them together might not stand a chance.

The arrival of the deity from the Human Race, with just a few sentences, clearly gave this Thunder God hope and confidence, allowing him to act without looking back.

"Our gods of the Ancient Demon Clan rarely have equals among peers. The two of you..."

Amid the savage roar of thunder, Fan Di had already left the Water Divine Realm and stepped over to the position of the Black Gold Demon Sword.

"Rumble! Rumble!"

The golden waterfall erupting from his body continued to annihilate that body of water, causing Naga, the Master, much suffering.

"Brother."

The female Water God Naga communicated with bloodline secret skills: "A deity from the Human Race of unknown depth, added to an Ancient Demon Race’s demon god eroded by the Mysterious Fog for many years—we siblings might not be able to handle them."

"I think we need to inform the others."

The greyish-yellow star, pulled into the Mysterious Fog by the Star Devourer, and the deities that sank with it in search of truth were not limited to the siblings Naga and Naga.

Several other low-rank gods, active in the Mysterious Fog nearby, possessed objects through which they could communicate.

The siblings hadn’t proclaimed their discovery of Fan Di with the intent to push him away quietly, aiming to kill him together and sole possession of Fan Di’s spiritual soul and heart.

A demon god born of the Ancient Demon Clan was also full of strange treasures to the Alien God Spirits.

Even though not equal to the Star Devourer, it was enough to make them covet.

"Hmm, inform them, just say a deity from the Human Race has appeared," Naga responded, then instructed secretly, "It will take time for them to get here, we don’t have to immediately start a conflict with this deity from the Human Race. Try to... delay things. After the demon god expends a wave of Divine Power, he will become weaker and pose no threat to us."

Naga’s secret instruction suddenly paused.

This Water God, who controlled a piece of the Water Divine Realm and could impose bans, found himself in turmoil.

He watched as Fan Di left the water domain and headed straight for the front of the Human Race deity’s sword, immediately opening his mouth to inhale excitedly.

Millions of rotating gemstone ores, all imbued with intense Thunderbolt Alien Power, were sucked in by Fan Di like a giant whale drawing in water.

Beyond that, there were pills and barrels of blood water that, along with the gemstone ores, fell into Fan Di’s body, claimed by the demon god for his own.

"You truly are one who keeps his promises!"

Fan Di was so moved, he almost cried for joy.

He had been lost in the Mysterious Fog for who knows how many years, never receiving outside reinforcements, constantly enduring the erosion of the fog, steadily nearing his end.

Chancing upon Pang Jian, they talked and Pang Jian offhandedly mentioned that he would find something to replenish his strength.

He thought Pang Jian was merely speaking casually.

Or perhaps Pang Jian might bring him a few Thunder Crystal Stones as a perfunctory gesture to extend his life for a few more decades.

He had never imagined that from Pang Jian’s ring would fly out so many gemstones, along with so many essence blood pills that nourished his soul power and Qi and Blood.

A pair of deep aquamarine eyes were the first to appear in his eye sockets, surrounded by golden ghostly electricity.

Following the eyes, blood and flesh fibers appeared on his face, sliding down like wriggling Spirit Snakes, producing patches of skin and muscle.

Flesh, muscle, organs, and lost Divine Power were regenerating at an astonishing speed!

This colossal demon god of the Ancient Demon Clan was no longer merely a golden skeletal body; muscle tendons grew on bone wings, flesh and hair appeared on his face, and the blood light on his body interwove as flesh congealed.

He stimulated an immense amount of Blood and Flesh Essence Energy for Gold Bone Growing Flesh on his body’s surface while continuing to assimilate the Thunderbolt Alien Power into his bones.

His aura was steadily increasing.

Pang Jian sincerely marveled, "The Ancient Demon Clan truly is the favored child of the heavens."
