The Purgatory Calamity

Chapter 637: Chapter 604: Shield of Purgatory!_1

Second Realm.

In the northern void of Qitian Continent, there is a Fragment Land named Xuanji.

Because of a god war, the cratered land had the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror hanging high.

The light it released, through smooth mountain surfaces, refracted into various illusory worlds.

In those erected illusory worlds, there were members of the Human Race, warriors of Alien Tribes, and powerhouses of the Ancient Demon Clan.

They kept moving, presenting the connection, hatred, and history between the Human Race and Alien Tribes, and the Demon Race scene by scene.

Initially, the Demon Race dominated the Purgatory World, but then Alien Tribes gradually grew in strength and took over.

Then came the naturally frail Human Race without Bloodline Power, who developed a unique system of cultivation, using nature’s spiritual energy to cleanse the flesh and strengthen the soul.

The Human Race grew stronger day by day until True Gods were born, and only then did those Alien Tribes, which had once ruled the upper worlds of Purgatory, start to take notice.

But it was already too late to stop them.

The Human Race rose in a short time, with more True Gods emerging; they formed an alliance with the Demon Race and challenged the rule of the Alien Tribes.

Eventually, the Human Race won with difficulty, replaced the Alien Tribes as the lords of Purgatory, and the Demon Race had to submit to them.

Afterward, it was the Alien Tribes of the Fifth Realm who launched one attack after another.

They communicated closely with Alien Gods from beyond the heavens, utilizing their extraterrestrial powers.

Until today, they have been brewing the strongest ever ascension.

The historical evolution of Purgatory is presented through different illusory worlds, with powerful forces embedded in the events and traces of the past.

Liu Fu was in one such illusory world, battling with Shajia from the Heaven Clan.

"Radiance of the Spear shatters dawn, piercing all illusions!"

A haughty woman from the Heaven Clan with ten pairs of white wings, in the dark wilderness of an illusory world, thrust her bright silver spear toward the sky.

Her ten pairs of wings burned with holy white flames, as if she were the incarnation of brightness.

The Heaven Clan of Purgatory, before their fall to the Fifth Realm, always lived in the First Realm.

They were forever near the heavens.

In the past, they bathed in the sun, moon, and starlight, carefree, revered, and worshipped by all races.

This naturally noble race, most of whose Bloodline Power is related to light, were greatly weakened in strength when suppressed in the Fifth Realm, a place eternally devoid of sunlight and moonlight.

Now, Shajia, the strongest of the Heaven Clan, with her spear "Dawn," has broken the long, dark, lightless years.

The Radiance of the Spear, like a rising sun, shattered one illusory world after another.

"Crack! Crackle!"

The many illusory worlds shattered suddenly like mirrors.

The myriad of living beings within the past times presented by Liu Fu also turned to nothingness.

When the unremarkable Liu Fu was forced to reveal himself, his forehead bore a long, narrow cut from which blood flowed.

A bitter feeling welled up in his heart, knowing he was seriously injured.

His path to Divine Enthronement, similar to that of the departed Shenglong, was one of illusion.

He could create many realms of illusions; the more real and complete the illusory realms, the stronger his power became.

Shajia had actually used the Divine Spear "Dawn" to break these realms of illusions.

This strongest member of the Heaven Clan had moved from the dark, lightless Fifth Realm to the world above, and now, bathing in radiance, the terrifying power hidden deep within her Bloodline finally manifested completely.

Liu Fu knew he was no match, feeling that he was about to follow in the footsteps of Lin Qiyang and Li Chu, about to be slain in single combat by Shajia.

Suddenly, he felt the favor of Heaven Forbidden.

He sensed a force from Heaven Forbidden, which eternally existed in the Dome of Purgatory, entering the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror.

The mirror acquired a fragment of the might of Heaven Forbidden.

"Within Heaven Forbidden, Divine Sense surges, Pu Zhaotian!"

Liu Fu’s morale suddenly soared.

He used the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror to pierce through the sky above, and saw the azure Giant Dragon wrapping its body around the Sword Tower, anxiously flying towards the First Realm from the direction of the Saint Spirit Continent.

Being intimately acquainted with Pu Zhaotian, he immediately realized that with the support of Heaven Forbidden, there was a turning point in his battle with Shajia.

...

First Realm, outside the North Ruins.

The Fire God Yan Lie appeared like a burning Divine Mountain, standing tall in the void, expanding His Divine Realm outward.

Li Bai and Jingsha, both level ten supremes, positioned one on each side of him.

A barren, desolate, and weed-infested gray land was being scorched by fierce flames.

This world belonged to the True God Pei Yishan.

Wave upon wave of runes and Secret Spells transformed into a deep sea, attempting to intercept the spread of the flames, yet the runes turned to ash one by one.

Dong Shangqing gave it his all, his "Divine Dharma Aspect" composed of endless runes swarming together, as he continuously created new runes to channel the forces of nature’s spiritual energy.

But he still could not stop the sea of flames spreading from Fire God Yan Lie.

Just as the sea of rune spells he had constructed and the barren secret land built by Pei Yishan were about to be penetrated by the flames, both of them suddenly sensed... the gaze of Heaven Forbidden!

The eternally existing Heaven Forbidden of Purgatory, still intangible, yet they felt Divine Sense stirring within.

"Pu Zhaotian!"

Dong Shangqing’s sea of rune spells suddenly burst forth with infinite changes.

The Divine Talismans turned into an ocean of Cold Ice eternal, becoming the cold and secluded ocean depths, transforming into the Extreme Cold Stars deep in the celestial expanse.

Many Divine Skills unfamiliar and unknown to Dong Shangqing manifested power through his rune spells.

The flame sea that kept on spreading, was abruptly halted by the originally unstoppable rune spells.

With the response and support of Heaven Forbidden, True Gods Pei Yishan and Dong Shangqing were facing Yan Lie, Li Bai, and Jingsha without falling into an absolute disadvantage anymore.

...

In Eastland, the South Abyss, and within the lands ruled by two powerful Individual Cultivators.

All Human True Gods, at the crucial stage of the battle, all sensed a will stirring within "Heaven Forbidden".

That was the will of Pu Zhaotian!

The ’heaven’ in Pu Zhaotian’s name seemed to refer to the Heaven Forbidden of Purgatory, and he himself is Purgatory’s "heaven"!

With his own power, he leveraged the force of "Heaven Forbidden", rallying the powers that had sealed Purgatory, and providing support to all True Gods in the throes of battle.

Including Su Wenrou.

"Boom!"

The Sect Master of Pure Land bound by the might of thousands of mountains and by that immense gravity, suddenly broke free from the confines of his prison.

"Pu Zhaotian!"

In Su Wenrou’s clear eyes, an uncontrollable surge of excitement and delight overflowed.

At this moment, she finally understood what the Great Tao Truth that Pu Zhaotian was pursuing was.

Pu Zhaotian’s Tao was to become Purgatory’s "heaven", to merge as one with Purgatory’s "Heaven Forbidden", constantly fortifying "Heaven Forbidden" to fend off the covetous gaze of gods from the outside.

He wanted to be Purgatory’s strongest bulwark, to become the Shield of Purgatory!

This lifelong pursuit meant that whenever he forged the Divine Tao to strike at the realm of a True God, he was almost impossible to fail.

Failure could only ever come from external interference.

"Shifu, where exactly are you?"

Pang Jian’s constructed Chaotic Sky Curtain was still dissipating the array of Thunder Vortices left behind by Long Xiao, and he asked anxiously, "Long Xiao wraps the Sword Tower and flies toward Heaven Forbidden, what does He plan to do?"

"He seeks to break through the sky without escaping, and should Heaven Forbidden shatter for even a moment, my path to Divine Enthronement would be severed."

"But you need not worry, He cannot touch the Heaven Forbidden of Purgatory because the Ghost Mother has already stepped out of the South Abyss."

Pu Zhaotian said with a chuckle.
