The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 625 - 592: Chaotic Sky Curtain_1

Chapter 625: Chapter 592: Chaotic Sky Curtain_1

Saint Spirit Continent, poisoned by rampant internal calamity and besieged by warring gods without.

The surrounding void was in chaos.

Because Mu Wentao’s remnant soul was entangled with the Nine-Headed Bird, who was also well-versed in the path of ghostly souls, even the Ghost Mother, seated in the South Abyss, was stirred. She descended her consciousness onto the Flame Dragon’s soul with a heavenly divine skill.

The Ghost Mother too, was indirectly drawn into this.

Source Demon, originally the soul within the sword, had now acquired the ability to leave the blade and reside in the "Demon Realm Cave Heaven" borne of the sword.

As Pang Jian struck at the Nine-Headed Bird with his sword, he reached an understanding with It and the Ghost Mother. They informed Pang Jian that by quickly killing the Nine-Headed Bird, he could also reassemble Yuan Qi’s demon soul.

"Yuan Qi can be resurrected from death."

Pang Jian’s mind was shaken.

"Woo woo!"

As he was distracted, the soul-piercing screeches of the Nine-Headed Bird rose densely once again.

In the void, streams of soulful ghostly lights flitted about.

All these ghostly lights originated from the beaks of the Nine-Headed Bird and could only be sensed up close by True Gods and Alien God Spirits.

As the ghostly lights passed through the void, they could also vanish within it, altering the rules and structure of the void.

This part of the world, weakened by the shrieks of the Nine-Headed Bird, seemed as if it could shatter at any moment.

After a wave of screeching, the Nine-Headed Bird, hidden deep within the Mysterious Fog of Northern Qi and commanding an ancient demon clan, wielded odd and exotic musical instruments such as the ancient qin, pipa, bells, drums, flutes, and the like, with its bird claws.

Without playing or blowing, the bird merely waved its claws and the instruments produced beautiful and melodious sounds.

Some sounds of the instruments were crisp and pleasing, others like mountain streams, or the roar of spring thunder, or even the thunder of a thousand horses, as if waves were fiercely roaring and howling.

Surprisingly, they complemented Its mournful cries.

"Tss tss! Crack!"

Sudden bright fissures appeared in the void near Pang Jian’s demon body.

With the instrument sounds enhancing it, the screeching of the Nine-Headed Bird caused cracks to form in the Purgatory’s void, truly eerie and fierce.

Pang Jian repeatedly wielded his sword, but the rivers of sword light he slashed forth were fragmented by the fissures in the void.

With the Immortal Primordial Spirit, he summoned a Spiritual Power Strong Shield, which, under the assault of the Nine-Headed Bird’s screeches, exploded with a "bang."

A new wave of screeching initiated by the Nine-Headed Bird, ominous in its meaning, left Pang Jian struggling to cope.

His sword could not break through the onslaught of the screeches.

"New Era’s Realm God, advancing to the Immortal Realm prematurely, it seems your Great Tao foundation is still not very stable,"

One of the bird heads of the Nine-Headed Bird taunted with a weird screech.

The other bird heads each had a black nail protruding from their beaks.

It held the black nails in its beaks, "clacking" them against the void, using the nails to stabilize the already screeched-through void.

"Demon God Nail, Securing the Deep Void!"

Amidst the weird screeches, the ruptured void around Pang Jian, those rivers of sword light, and even the Origin Demon Sword in his hand, were all nailed in place by the Demon God Nail of the Nine-Headed Bird.

"Golden Elephant, what are you waiting for?"

The Nine-Headed Bird scoffed.

The three Demon Kings, who had moved to the area shaped like the "well" of sword lights but had hesitated to step in, now saw Pang Jian’s body restricted and the Demon Qi-filled sword immovable; they immediately grew bolder.

"Roar!"

A roar from the Demon Kings unleashed a earth-shaking demonic power.

An imposing Golden Elephant like a mountain range, a Ghost Snake stirring up a black river of light, and a Kylin that created a storm of flames, finally dared to charge at the "well"-shaped territory shrouded by sword light.

"This path is blocked!"

Source Demon, now with a real demon body, emerged with a smile from a "Demon Realm Cave Heaven."

He, with bare hands and a handsome, free-spirited image, transformed in an instant into a towering Heaven Demon’s shadow.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the sky was filled with fists that shattered heaven and earth. Like meteors from beyond the heavens, they smashed down, sending the three Great Demon Kings—the Golden Elephant, the Ghost Snake, and the Kylin—directly into the Third Realm.

The separation of His Demon Body and Demon Sword allowed Him to wield the might expected of an Outer World Demon God, striking with such force that He seriously wounded the three Great Demon Kings with His mere gestures.

The Divine Skills of the Nine-Headed Bird had a limited range; the "Demon God Nail" that pinned down the void could only envelop Pang Jian within it.

The six "Demon Realm Cave Heavens" were not covered by the "Demon God Nail." The Source Demon, having regained its Demon God strength, could enter any of the "Demon Realm Cave Heavens" from the sword’s inner world and easily exist in the present world.

"Let me take over guarding the path for Pu Zhaotian for a while, you focus on slaying the Nine-Headed Bird,"

His demonic voice arose once again.

"Okay."

Pang Jian replied with a divine tone.

"Whoosh!"

A pitch-black sky curtain emerged from behind the divine body of Pang Jian, spreading out rapidly.

The sky curtain was so purely black that it blocked out all the light cast from the Outer Star River into Purgatory.

With the black sky as the base color, Pang Jian’s Extreme Cold Alien Power was the first to permeate, rendering the black sky bitterly and piercingly cold.

Then, stars and moons began to adorn it, along with the divine powers of the five elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—along with Thunder and Lightning and the breath of the sun, all mingled within the blackness of the sky.

The once pure black, with the integration of these substances, no longer seemed monotonous and rigid, and started to show signs of vitality.

That initial black was like the mysterious and extreme environments below the Fifth Realm of Purgatory.

Darkness, iciness, desolation, void.

As Pang Jian wielded his ink to fill the colors, based in darkness, this patch of sky gradually transformed, becoming like the vast starry sky outside of Purgatory.

Dim and cold, yet with stars and moons present, the void mixed with many Alien Powers.

This was Pang Jian using his Immortal Primordial Spirit, reproducing the profound mysteries of the heavens beneath the Fifth Layer of Purgatory with his unique "Chaos Divine Path," and simultaneously mirroring the spectacular star rivers outside Purgatory.

What the heart felt and what the mind conceived, all things manifested one by one.

In the moment the visions were born, he detached himself from the Origin Demon Sword, as though he had transformed into a sovereign who commanded the ancient chaos, one who created a world with the character "狱" (prison) as the foundation—the Sovereign of Mysterious Fog.

"Chaos, Sky Curtain."

He uttered divine sounds, first shattering the myriad sound waves of the Nine-Headed Bird, then destroying its many musical instruments.

"Whoosh!"

His divine body suddenly fragmented into countless pieces, dispersing into the depths of the mysterious "Chaotic Sky Curtain" above.

Every strand of God’s Thought, every strand of Divine Power, Qi and Blood, and viscera within him, became part of the "Chaotic Sky Curtain."

The "Chaotic Sky Curtain" slowly descended.

At the Dome of Purgatory, the Heaven Forbidden that eternally trapped the beings of Purgatory, quietly revealed itself for a brief moment.

The Heaven Forbidden also contributed to the might of the "Chaotic Sky Curtain"!

"Bang! Bang, bang!"

The wavering heads of the Nine-Headed Bird burst one by one.

The musical instruments clutched in its claws silently turned to ashy clouds.

When only three heads were left, this demon bird, which had ascended from the Lower Realm to join the battle, cried out in terror and desperately tried to flee downwards.

It didn’t understand what was happening; it felt as though it was facing Pang Jian, yet also the Tao within the "井" (well) character sword light nearby.

The Heaven Forbidden that bound the beings of Purgatory was also imparting its power during the strange descent of the sky curtain.

That was the true heavenly might of Purgatory.
