The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 635 - 602 Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree_1

Chapter 635: Chapter 602 Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree_1

Under the dimming sky, thunder rumbled.

A Cyan Shining Divine Tree, only about a dozen zhang tall, in the depths of the Miasma Cloud Sea, climbed higher by the second, drawing the Thunderous Lightning toward it.

Its bare branches rapidly crystalized into Thunder Vortex star clouds, forming massive thunderballs.

It was the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree, a mystic treasure that the Thunder Gods between heaven and earth dreamt of obtaining.

Long Xiao had heard of such an object from the Alien Gods that had once descended into his consciousness.

Yet, He had scoured the Purgatory World and had not found a trace of the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree in this realm.

He had long concluded that the Purgatory hadn’t birthed the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree, and He felt regret.

He never expected that in the Thunder Cave Heaven "excavated" from the Panshi Fragment Land, such a divine object would be hidden!

As the strongest Thunder God within the "prison" character world wrapped in Mysterious Fog, His knowledge of the Thunder Tao almost surpassed all other Thunder Gods of the same level beyond the heavens.

He pondered the mysteries of the "Thunder Cave Heavens," swiftly finding the method to strengthen the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree, and so, He quietly nurtured it in secret.

During His fight with Su Wenrou, with Rock Bear and Source Demon joining one after another, the excess energy spread from such a high-level battle was exactly the necessary nourishment for the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree to thrive.

He used this long-premeditated divine war to feed the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree with the Divine Aura and Divine Power of Demon Gods, Demon Gods, and the Human True Gods.

The Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree grew swiftly, becoming leafy, and formed Tao Fruits, which subtly merged with His nine great Thunder Vortices.

With the help of the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree, He also uncovered part of the Great Tao Truth possessed by Thunder God.

When the time was right, He suddenly caused the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree to swallow the "Thunder Cave Heavens" and He succeeded at once.

"Boom!"

His Divine Power, amplified by the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree, unleashed nine thousand annihilating mystical thunders in the void where Su Wenrou stood, causing Su Wenrou’s "Divine Dharma Aspect" to collapse with a thunderous roar.

As the thunder shattered the heavens, the Source Demon who had forged a Demon Body entered a smaller realm within the sword amid a sea of Thunder Vortices, escaping as a black-gold sword light.

Electric sparks and thunder resounded through the smoke, as if numerous fierce Thunder Gods were releasing their force together.

The void, once covered by Su Wenrou with miasmal vapors, saw all harmful toxins, miasma, and smoke completely obliterated by the Thunderous Lightning.

In the end, only a green Giant Dragon with a winding body majestically dominated the void.

Like a mountain range suspended in the air, the electric light that splashed from His scales continued to spread outward.

The dimming sky, because of Him, shone like daylight, and the dazzling electric light emanating from His dragon body moved all the Demon Race survivors on the Saint Spirit Continent to tears of gratitude.

"The Poison Calamity, it has been ended by Him."

"Our leader, He has shattered the Poison Calamity that Su Wenrou mercilessly unleashed! Elder Long, He is the hope of our Demon Race! As long as He lives, the Demon Race will never perish!"

"Pure Land, Su Wenrou, the Human Race, you heartlessly slaughtered our Demon kin!"

"Back in the day, they treated Sir Heaven Phoenix, whom we adored, in the same way!"

"..."

The wailing of the Demon Race’s warriors echoed from the Fragment Lands near the Saint Spirit Continent.

The Demon warriors, who fled their homeland in fear, looked from afar at the winding body of Long Xiao, singing His praises and cursing the despicable wickedness of the Human Race.

Between the Human Race and the Demon Race, the hatred accumulated more and more.

"Alas."

The newly ascended Rock Bear Demon God sighed as He morphed into a humanoid form, His eyes filled with helplessness.

Two tribes that had been allies for tens of thousands of years had been pushed to this point, something He did not wish for.

Yet, in this battle, He knew that the old dragon lurking in the Dragon Cave was indeed unimaginably powerful.

Though Long Xiao had private ambitions to elevate the Dragon Race above other demons, He also considered the overall strength of the Demon Race, and the vast majority of the Demon tribespeople recognized Him.

Under such circumstances, unless Heaven Phoenix was resurrected, and Old Black Turtle was reborn, He feared no Demon God could shake Elder Long’s position.

All Old Rock Bear could do now was to cooperate with Long Xiao as much as possible, working hard for the prosperity of the Demon Race.

"Su, you dared to unleash the Poison Calamity on the Saint Spirit Continent. After you die, I will personally visit the Xi Rang Continent and scatter ten thousand thunders over your Pure Land."

Long Xiao roared, "Pure Land will be expunged from the Purgatory World because of your actions!"

The Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree, resembling a crown, settled atop the head of the elder dragon, His one dragon claw still clutching the Dragon Bead.

Long Xiao’s demeanor remained arrogantly domineering as ever.

Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains Aman, Pang Jian who had once again grasped the Origin Demon Sword, Yu Xin, Lv Qinghe, Zhou Yi, and others He simply ignored.

His words were directed only at Su Wenrou.

"Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!"

Vast Thunder Vortices evolved wondrous miracles of thunder, constructing a Thunder World, as if still condensing the life of thunder beings.

The Thunder Vortices were like nine small worlds in Purgatory, connecting with His Dragon Heart and resonating with His Dragon Soul.

He flicked His dragon tail contentedly, causing countless fine bolts of lightning to scurry about, annihilating the senses of Su Wenrou and the gods from outside.

As Su Wenrou’s "Divine Dharma Aspect" dissipated, her complexion returned to a pure white; her previously adorned flower basket was now tattered, the exquisite patterns on her robe, too, were gone.

She looked rather disheveled, and her eyes filled with confusion as if she hadn’t yet awakened.

From the Saint Spirit Continent, she could no longer harvest a speck of poison, the power she had used to corrode Long Xiao’s flesh and scale armor had severed its connection with her long ago.

She gathered her thoughts and realized that her "Poison Calamity" had subsided, no longer able to brew a poison potent enough to dissolve Long Xiao into a cloud of blood mist.

Her poison path, her "Poison Calamity," became more terrifying the longer it dragged on.

As long as she could persist and continually refine the toxin, she was confident in eroding any flesh and blood creature in the world.

However, during the battle, Long Xiao had secretly fostered that astonishing Divine Tree, which found and obliterated every strand of the lethal connection between her and Saint Spirit Continent.

This also led to the forced abrupt end of the "Poison Calamity."

Distressed as she was, Su Wenrou still regained her spiritual intelligence, her expression turning calm as she said, "Our Pure Land can withstand the heavenly thunder that you bring crashing down."

"If the layout that the Human Race has laid out for tens of thousands of years could be so easily subverted, this world would have long been controlled by the Alien Tribes, by your Demon Race."

"Long Xiao, I would really like to see if under your rule, and your choices different from those of Sir Heaven Phoenix and the Mysterious Turtle, the Demon Race will truly have a new future."

Su Wenrou remarked with cold irony.

With a gesture as white and delicate as a freshly peeled onion, she wiped away the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth and asked gently, "Pang Jian, how is the situation now?"

"Lin Qiyang and Li Chu have fallen one after the other. The rest of the True Gods are intercepted by the strongest from the Fifth Realm, temporarily unable to split their focus." Pang Jian paused for a moment before continuing, "Currently, the battle is taking place among the peak combatants. Not even those from the Immortal Realm with ninth-level bloodlines from the Alien Tribes are qualified to participate."

"Two are dead already..." Su Wenrou sighed faintly.

"Old gods retreat, new gods ascend; this is the natural succession of True Gods," Pang Jian said evenly, his attention still on the giant cyan dragon.

Shifu Pu Zhaotian’s Divine Tao creation was at a critical phase, as long as it was not disrupted, he was willing to let Long Xiao and Su Wenrou exchange a few more words.

Time was what Shifu needed the most at the moment.

"The Human Race will no longer have new gods appear. In the future, there will be no more."

The Old Dragon twisted its body and let out a conceited, strange laugh.

Its dragon’s head turned towards Pang Jian and the ’well’-shaped sword light barrier behind him, its enormous dragon eyes blazing like the sun.

"You simply have no idea what it means for a Sovereign himself to personally lead the eradication of the Purgatory Human Tribe."

"Since He has come, your Human Race won’t have the slightest chance. The order of this world will eventually be overturned by Him."

"You few, along with Zhu Ji, Li Wang, and Pu Zhaotian, are merely futile efforts."

"And I, am simply going with the flow!"

The cyan giant dragon twisted its serpentine body, pulling along pieces of giant Thunder Vortexes, and approached with casual ease.

Su Wenrou was about to intercept when she saw chunks of Fragment Land floating around, filling the void around her.

Above, below, left, right—all were small fragments of land.

The foundation of Old Rock Bear’s Great Tao, using Fragment Land as a conduit for force, suddenly created a terrifying gravity field.

A hundredfold, a thousandfold, ten thousandfold!

Su Wenrou’s flesh, bones, tendons, and even her Divine Sense strained under this level of gravity.

Her thoughts became heavy and slow, her body was suppressed by the gravity, and her inner strength was restrained.

"Boom! Boom boom!"

More phantom mountains and rivers appeared in the void near the Fragment Land, intensifying the gravity field created by the Rock Bear Demon God, pinning her in place as if she were being suppressed by towering mountains.

The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains was complicit from the shadows!

One Demon God that relied on nature’s spiritual energy and ascended through the Earth Road, and one Cyclops that relied on Filth Alien Power and broke the shackles of bloodlines with marks of myriad mountains, were secretly collaborating with tacit understanding.

Similar Great Tao, different origins, jointly acting on Su Wenrou.

This resulted in the Sect Master of the Pure Land being unable to leave that small piece of land, trapped like a beast under the weight of colossal mountains.

Aman, his crimson single eye, had secretly closed.

He also shut off his hearing; he did not listen to Long Xiao’s words, did not look at Long Xiao’s form.

Only by doing so could he temporarily bury his endless resentment towards Long Xiao, and temporarily control himself.

"Panshi Fragment Land is assembled from three pieces of Fragment Land, one of which is called the Forbidden Land of the Thunder God."

"Whoosh!"

The cyan giant dragon morphed into a human, his massive dragon body suddenly contracting as he stopped in front of Pang Jian, squinting and smiling, "Pang Jian, I genuinely thank you."

"Without you bringing the Forbidden Land of the Thunder God out of that Mysterious Fog-filled void, the Thunder Cave Heavens would not have been fostered."

"Nor would a Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree have appeared within the Cave Heavens."

"Heh!"

Long Xiao grinned broadly, his laughter wild and arrogant: "The Fifth Realm, that Fire God named Yan Lie told me the Forbidden Land of the Thunder God once belonged to the Thunder God. And the Thunder God was the first Thunder God in this world. He built the Thunder Divine Court, gathered Thunder Gods from various Star Rivers, aiming to create a marvel of Thunder!"

"The Thunder God was a high-ranking Thunder Deity who had the potential to ascend to Sovereignty!"

"I wish to follow the path of the Thunder God, to promote His Thunder Tao, to help him realize the astonishing vision He did not get to fulfill!"

After laying the groundwork, Long Xiao asked with a sly grin, "Pang Jian, is that shattered Thunder Pond in your hands?"
