The Purgatory Calamity

Chapter 610: Chapter 577: Long Xiao_1

Wu Sujin’s eyebrows overflowed with joy.

Her gentle and elegant temperament made her smile feel like a warm spring breeze.

Realizing that Pang Lin was not in danger and had once again received blessings, she sincerely felt happy for him.

Over the years, she had accompanied Pang Lin, exploring one Blessed Land Cave Heaven after another, filled with the Thunder Truth, and solving all his troubles.

Pang Lin was pure as an unwritten page, his kindness made her heart ache, and she only wished for him to live happily.

Many times, she felt that it would have been better if Pang Lin hadn’t inherited the Heaven Phoenix legacy or come into conflict with that Old Thunder Dragon, to live freely for a lifetime.

Competing for the Thunder God’s Path and the inevitable conflict with the Old Thunder Dragon were such heavy burdens to bear.

However, the Divine Bones that were branded with the Heaven Phoenix’s inheritance had chosen her early on.

The existence of that Divine Bone had helped her forge a physique as powerful as the Ancient Demon Clan’s, incorporating various unique skills and secret techniques of the Heaven Phoenix.

Her innate Thunder Vortex and her natural affinity with thunder and lightning were brought to their extremes by that Divine Bone.

Thus, she was able to advance swiftly, at a young age reaching the Extinction Realm and becoming a supreme talent on par with the prodigies of the Li Family.

Wu Sujin, as her senior sister, knew that Shifu had high hopes for her and that her divine enthronement might be related to the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar of the Fifth Realm.

Yet Wu Sujin felt she was too innocent and should not have to bear so much.

"My little sister is just as extraordinary as my brother," Zhou Qingchen said, laughing to Jiang Li, "My biggest regret is not seeing my little sister before entering the Solitude Mountain Range."

"Surname Zhou, are you already starting to call her ’little sister’?" Qi Qingsong rolled his eyes.

"Pang Jian is my brother, so isn’t his blood sister my little sister?" Zhou Qingchen posed as if it was the most natural thing.

"If you can call her that, then so can I," Qi Qingsong chuckled lightly, looking smugly at Wu Sujin, "Miss Wu, the little prodigy who is treated like a precious jewel by your Pure Land, also has to call me ’brother’."

"And me, she must call me ’brother’ as well!" Li Jie also grinned.

Li Yuqing gave him a stare and said, "You two, it’s not clear who’s younger."

"Ms. Wu, is she really unharmed?" Mu Aichuan asked, holding the Sword Command.

"It’s alright, there’s no need to send messages to those elders," Wu Sujin said with a smile.

"Good."

Mu Aichuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Nowadays, Pang Jian was the main pillar of Sword Tower, and in this valley guarded by him, it would have been hard to explain to Sword Tower if anything happened to Pang Lin.

After confirming multiple times that the changes in the "Thunder Cave Heavens" were positive, he sent messages to Guanghe and others, telling them they no longer needed to come.

"Sizzle!"

Deeper in the dark clouds, the thunder and lightning became increasingly dense.

Suddenly, a sundering thunderclap that seemed to shatter everyone’s spirits burst out of nowhere.

"Crack!"

Wu Sujin’s jade card, which was used to observe the "Thunder Cave Heavens" and ensure everything was trending positively, shattered under the thunderous sound.

She turned pale with shock, crying out, "Something’s wrong!"

An extremely oppressive force suddenly burst from the depths of the dark clouds.

The descending thunderbolts instantly turned into whips and chains.

Hundreds of thunderbolts wrapped around a dazzling sphere of light within the valley, dragging it forcefully into the sky.

The sphere of light burst through the crystalline barrier in an instant, reaching directly into the clouds.

All this happened unbelievably quickly.

By the time everyone reacted, the sphere of light representing the "Thunder Cave Heavens" was already in the hands of a person in the clouds.

The "Thunder Cave Heavens" were directly plundered by that person, who "pried" it out of the valley in the Panshi Fragment Land!

That was a broad-shouldered old man wearing a green robe, with bare, wide feet and prominent dragon horns on his forehead.

"Thunder Dragon!"

Mu Aichuan drew his sword and shouted furiously, "Panshi Fragment Land is Sword Tower’s territory! All Cave Heavens nurtured by the Fragment Land belong to us, and I demand you return our Thunder Cave Heavens immediately!"

The Old Thunder Dragon, who had dominated the Thunder God’s Path for tens of thousands of years in the Dragon Cave, suddenly emerged and seized the "Thunder Cave Heavens."

Inside the Cave Heavens, Pang Lin was still there, locked in a conflict over the Great Tao with him!

Wu Sujin’s eyes reddened instantly, and she was the first to soar into the sky.

Following her were Li Yuqing, Li Jie, Qi Qingsong, and from a distance, Yao Junhong and Wang Ce, both roaring as they charged into the firmament.

"Damn it, my little sister is still in the Thunder Cave Heavens! We can give up the Cave Heavens, but we must get my little sister back!" Zhou Qingchen ignited the Heaven Essence Bead, almost howling as he flew into the heavens.

"Whoosh!"

The colossal Ice Armor Eel Dragon emerged from the lake shrouded in Mysterious Fog, its dragon armor glistening with a cold luster like white gold, as its silvery eyes fixed on the sky.

Yuan Qi, who had also ascended to the ninth grade bloodline, emerged from the "Cold Ice Cave Heavens," emitting a low growl.

"Howl!"

A Giant Ape thousands of feet tall appeared out of thin air, its ice blue eyes like two Extreme Cold Stars.

"Ah."

The Old Black Turtle sighed in the depths of the earth, transformed into a middle-aged man in armor, and stepped out of the Fragment Land.

...

"Heh!"

The Old Thunder Dragon in the sky, encased within dense dark clouds, clutched the "Thunder Cave Heavens" in his palm, tightly enveloping it with his Thunder Divine Power.

"Ice Armor Eel Dragon, Mysterious Turtle, and the brutish Giant Ape, you are all of the Ninth Level."

He chuckled to himself, allowing the strong from Panshi Fragment Land to appear one by one before Him.

"Thunder Dragon!" Mu Aichuan pointed at Him in the clouds, his mind clouded with rage, and said, "This Thunder Cave Heavens, and also..."

"You should address me with respect. Not to mention you, even if Sword God Lin Xuanqi were to be reborn, the strongest Sword God of our time would not speak to me in such a manner."

Thunder Dragon threw a punch in response.

At that moment, it was as if He held the entire world in His grasp.

The fist that sprayed boundless thunder light instantly magnified by millions of times, crystallizing into a thunderbolt star that seemed as real as a star.

"Thunder creates the heavens, lightning spawns all things."

With those words, the colossal Thunderbolt Star gave birth to mountains and rivers, kingdoms and cities, and revealed the Human Race, Demon Race, Heaven Clan, Ghost Clan, Demon Clan, and other Wisdom Races.

The mountains and rivers were constructed by thunder and lightning, the countries and cities as well, and so were the beings...

Mu Aichuan activated his Spiritual Power Strong Shield, surrounding himself with thousands of sword lights like a river, attempting to block the casual punch from the Old Thunder Dragon.

But he failed to do so.

As the Thunderbolt Star descended, it crushed all the sword lights, instantly turning Mu Aichuan into a mist of blood, obliterating his Spiritual Soul in the blink of an eye.

"Old Mu!"

"Big Brother Mu!"

Yao Junhong and Wang Ce, two Sword Tower elders, flew out only to see Mu Aichuan killed by a punch from the Thunder Dragon, their eyes splitting with rage.

"Don’t be impulsive."

The Mysterious Turtle moved in front of both men, shielding them, and said, "I am the creator of Panshi Fragment Land and the nurturer of the three major Cave Heavens. Before he left, Pang Jian entrusted me to care for this Fragment Land."

"Please, everyone, keep calm. I will have a talk with Him."

The Mysterious Turtle turned back and said to those humans whose eyes were red with fury, the elderly from Sword Tower, and the two Demon Kings, "Pang Jian is not around now, and I don’t want any more casualties."

Here, above the Fragment Land and not inside it, even he was helpless against the Old Thunder Dragon.

While consoling everyone, he was secretly communicating with Pang Jian, wishing for Pang Jian to be informed of this matter.

But suddenly, he discovered that in all directions of Panshi Fragment Land, there were nine invisible Thunder Vortexes hidden, disrupting all the pathways connecting this land to the outside world.

He could not send a message, the Sword Command was useless, and the space laws were restrained.

Right away, he knew that this old friend, who alone revered the Thunder God’s Path, had secretly sealed the heavens and earth from interference by the True Gods before making his move to snatch the "Thunder Cave Heavens."

"It’s the Demon Race again!" Wu Sujin nearly lost control and shouted, "Pang Jian created Panshi Fragment Land, giving the Demon Race another place to stay, yet your leader steals the Cave Heavens for no reason!"

The Mysterious Turtle wore a bitter expression and said, "It was not my wish either."

"You, you, and the White Fox Demon King!" Wu Sujin pointed at the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, Yuan Qi, and said angrily, "How did Pang Jian treat you?"

The Giant Ape spoke gravely, "Very well, that’s why I came out of the Cold Ice Cave Heavens."

"Same for me," added the Ice Armor Eel Dragon.

The two Ninth Level Demon Kings, facing the current steward of the Demon Race and this Ancient Demon God who had attained godhood for myriad of years, now stood out just like Yao Junhong and the others.

This was them assuming an attitude unafraid of death!

"Tsk tsk, I never expected that a small Panshi Fragment Land would have four of our Demon Race’s great Demon Kings living together." The Thunder Dragon hummed and said, "White Fox, are you the only one who dares not face me?"

With one hand supporting the "Thunder Cave Heavens" aloft, and the other hanging naturally by his side, He said, "I am the current leader of the Demon Race, while you come from the Ancient Demon Clan, could it be you still wish to stand against me?"

"Even in the face of death, there is nothing I fear," said the White Fox Demon King as she leaped out of the frosty barrier.

In her true Demon King form, she said softly, "After leaving the Saint Spirit Continent, I had no place to go. I drifted in the Mysterious Fog for some time before finally settling in Panshi Fragment Land."

"It was Pang Jian who gave me a home where I didn’t have to live in constant fear, so now I too am willing to stand up."

As a fox, she calmly looked at the Old Thunder Dragon, prepared to embrace death.

"Those youngsters from the Human Race might be excusable. But you few! You are the rising stars of my Demon Race, you have struggled and gained the bloodline of a Demon King, should you not seek out as much benefit for the Demon Race as you can in these chaotic times? Is a young human worth standing up for, worth standing against me?" The Thunder Dragon said coldly.

"Long Xiao, leave behind the girl from the Cave Heavens, and you may take the Cave Heavens with you," the Mysterious Turtle said softly.

The Old Thunder Dragon’s massive form shook violently.

The Mysterious Turtle remained calm as He looked Him in the eye.

"Long Xiao..."

The Ice Armor Eel Dragon and Yuan Qi both had vague memories of this name, and as they focused more clearly, they began to discern gory scenes.

These scenes seemed to show them being torn apart by a Giant Dragon, annihilated between heaven and earth.

"Because of you, I will spare her life," the Old Thunder Dragon took a deep breath, his typically fierce and dominant eyes unusually showing respect, "No matter what, I hope you stay alive and well."

"Especially after Rock Bear ascends to Demon God on the Earth Road."

"Take good care."

The Old Thunder Dragon then departed.
