The Purgatory Calamity

Chapter 627: Chapter 594: Ethnic Group Positioning_1

Yuan Qi thought of evasion.

When Long Xiao and the Nine-Headed Bird, the two leaders of the Demon Race, decided to part ways with the Human Race and choose to ally with the Alien Tribes, it meant that war between the Demon Race and Human Race would become inevitable.

Pang Jian and Pang Jian’s father had both shown kindness to him, and so had the Nine-headed Bird Demon God.

He was also a member of the Ancient Demon Clan.

He knew that it was the protection of the previous Realm God that had allowed that Ancient Demon Clan and the demons hidden in the Mysterious Fog to survive to this day.

But the more he knew about the situation, the more he found it impossible to make a choice.

Given the current situation, it seemed that the Panshi Fragment Land might also, at some future moment, be attacked by the Alien Tribes and Demon Race together.

If he were to enter the Panshi Fragment Land, when the great war broke out, would he stand with the people of the Fragment Land to resist the invading Demon Race, or would he slaughter the human inhabitants alongside the demons?

After much thought, he decided to simply keep away from the Purgatory battlefield and hide within the Mysterious Fog.

"The void where the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land is located will also have Alien Tribes continuously pouring in, but it should be no problem for you to go there," said Pang Jian, frowning. "But you’ve lost a pair of eyes..."

"It’s okay, even without those eyes, I can still discern directions," Yuan Qi bared his teeth, smiled bitterly, and said, "Without eyes, not seeing the atrocities taking place on the Saint Spirit Continent is actually better for me."

Being so close to the Saint Spirit Continent at present, and having heard the Demon King’s discussions and the Nine-Headed Bird’s venomous words, he naturally understood the unspeakable disasters that were occurring there right then.

Demons like him, suffering from the "Poison Calamity" stirred up by Su Wenrou, were probably dying off one by one.

The Demon Race, especially those with strong bloodlines, always had difficulty reproducing.

From the outbreak to the end of this "Poison Calamity," he did not know how long it would take, nor did he know how many of his fellow demons would perish in this disaster.

But, if it weren’t for Long Xiao and the Alien Tribes of the Fifth Realm colluding, if it weren’t for Long Xiao’s provocation, would there have been a Poison Calamity?

As for who was right or wrong, Yuan Qi really couldn’t tell.

"Alright, you go to that Forbidden Land first, where bee insects will guide you," Pang Jian made his decision.

"Take care!" Yuan Qi flew away.

After Yuan Qi disappeared, Pang Jian finally said to the now visible Source Demon, "Once my Shifu successfully ascends to become a True God, and the overall situation stabilizes, I will make a trip to the Northern Qi Fragment Land of the Fourth Realm to help him retrieve those pair of eyes."

"The Nine-headed Bird Demon God is not to be feared. What you need to be careful of... is the encirclement of those Alien Tribes." The Source Demon, with a real body, laughed heartily: "Once the Poison Calamity of the Saint Spirit Continent is over, I should be even more powerful, and then I can accompany you!"

Upon hearing this, Pang Jian couldn’t help but look at Him curiously.

He immediately noticed that His tangible Demon Body was still undergoing continuous refinement.

Blood energy, Soul Power, from a Level 9 Flame Dragon and Wind Dragon.

Besides, the power that benefitted His improvement in realm and the surge of Demonic Energy, seemed to be overflowing from the direction of the Saint Spirit Continent and was being absorbed by His six major "Demon Realm Cave Heavens."

Pang Jian quickly realized and said, "The terror, despair, and resentment and curses of the demons before death, caused by the Poison Calamity of the Saint Spirit Continent, have become the power that makes you continuously grow stronger?"

The Source Demon admitted with a smile, "You must have heard the phrase, ’Demons are born from the heart.’

"Like me, and like other demons such as He Motian, our nourishment is different from that of the Goddess of Cold Crystal and the Moon Goddess who draw the Power of Faith. What we truly crave is the evil and various negative forces in the hearts of sentient beings. Only the evil thoughts in the hearts of intelligent beings can promote the growth and transformation of demons; we feed on the evil within all beings.

"The hatred and evil thoughts towards the Exotic Spirit Star Devourer by the inhabitants of Dark Prison, allowed me to undergo a transformation."

"The various evil notions of the Demon Race during the outbreak of the Poison Calamity will also bring me benefits once again."

"A stable and peaceful world, where everyone is kind-hearted, cannot breed mighty demons, nor can it create powerful Demon Gods. Only when a world falls into great turmoil, when sentient beings plunge into despair and their inner evil erupts like crazy, can strong demons form."

"The current Purgatory is very conducive to my strength and helps in restoring my peak combat power."

The Source Demon was full of vigor.

At this moment, He resembled the figure who once dominated the Outer Domain Galaxy, full of vigor and at the peak of his strength, planning to vie for the title of Great Demon God.

"Roar!"

A bear’s roar echoed across the sky.

Chunks of Fragment Land drifted from the Saint Spirit Continent, sinking towards the Third Realm.

Those Fragment Lands were filled with members of the Demon Race.

Grade eight and seven dragons, minor demons without the ability to transform, along with spirit beasts ruled by the Demon Kings and Great Demons, huddled compactly on the Fragment Lands, emitting mournful howls.

Generations of the Demon Race, who had lived on the Saint Spirit Continent without ever leaving, reluctantly gazed back at their homeland.

They all understood that a Poison Calamity was erupting in their homeland, and if they didn’t leave soon, they would silently perish as the calamity spread.

Yet many demons among them had never left in their lives, and facing this forcible migration, they had no idea what they might encounter.

"Demon Spirit Continent!"

"We’ll head to the Demon Spirit Continent first to avoid this Poison Calamity!"

Shouted some Demon Kings.

As a newly ascended Demon God, who broke through with the Divine Tao of the earth, Rock Bear used His power to pry nearby Fragment Lands and took as many of His demon kin as He could.

As these Fragment Lands detached from the Saint Spirit Continent and the Demon Kings led their younger kin to sink towards the Lower Realm.

Old Rock Bear transformed, adopting the image of a middle-aged man with dark yellow skin, and the simple and honest look in his eyes vanished in an instant.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

New Fragment Lands again flew towards the interior of the Saint Spirit Continent to pick up the demon youngsters there.

Other Fragment Lands were drawn by His power, drifting from the surrounding void and scattering behind Him.

"Pure Land, Su Wenrou."

In Old Rock Bear’s deep eyes, a fierce and frenzied light slowly emerged.

Looking at the miasmic clouds of poisonous fog, He growled low, "If only Su Wenrou’s death can stop this Poison Calamity, then she must die."

He too was a member of the Ancient Demon Clan.

Long Xiao and the Nine-Headed Bird formed an alliance, reaching a tacit agreement with the Alien Tribes of the Fifth Realm to lift the restrictions on the bloodline of the Demon Race.

It was a grand deed that benefited the entire Demon Race, and He was invigorated and pleasantly surprised.

But He didn’t agree with Long Xiao’s decision to go to Panshi Fragment Land, ignoring Sword Tower and seizing the "Thunder Cave Heavens," and even killing an Elder from the opposition.

Moreover, the sister of Pang Jian was in the "Thunder Cave Heavens."

He didn’t realize that Long Xiao’s seemingly overbearing and reckless actions were exactly one of the prices the Demon Race had to pay.

When Pu Zhaotian came seeking, when Pang Jian appeared from beyond the skies, when Su Wenrou challenged Long Xiao, He maintained restraint and calm, believing it to be the karma brought about by Long Xiao’s initial provocations.

However, Su Wenrou suddenly triggered a Poison Calamity on Saint Spirit Continent, using the lives of all demons on the land to foster an ultimate poison.

This greatly exceeded Rock Bear’s expectations.

As a member of the Ancient Demon Clan and a respected Demon God, Rock Bear could never stand by and watch His fellow clansmen die one by one due to the catastrophic outbreak of the Poison Calamity.

Even if it was indeed Long Xiao who provoked first, even if it was Long Xiao’s reckless actions that led to this grave mistake.
