The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 656 - 620: Slaying the Evil Ghost_1

Chapter 656: Chapter 620: Slaying the Evil Ghost_1

In the void outside the Saint Spirit Continent, when Pang Jian met Luo Hongyan again, he already knew that her affections had become indifferent.

All the past events no longer left any trace in her heart.

He was one of the four great Sovereigns from beyond the heavens.

The scheming of Purgatory by Him was not a matter of just one or two days; what He desired was neither the extinction of the Purgatory Human Tribe, nor to stand up for the Alien Tribes of the Fifth Realm.

He had always had his own ideas, but including the Fire God Yan Lie, none of the God Spirits knew exactly what He wanted.

Pang Jian only knew that He was no longer the Luo Hongyan of the past.

Given that, Pang Jian resolved to deeply bury that past, to forget all that they had shared together, and to regard Her as the most formidable opponent in Purgatory World and even in the starry sky beyond.

Eventually, he was going to go out, to meet with the divine spirits of the heavens.

In his heart, he harbored a thought, hoping that one day he would face the true form of Luo Hongyan’s sovereignty deep within the starry sky.

He really wanted to see what sort of Supreme God Spirit Luo Hongyan, with the six great God Statuses complete and unified, truly was.

God Spirits, can they really obliterate everything from the past?

"Lv Qinghe, Zhou Yi, how can they compare to you?"

Qi Xu smiled enchantingly, first signaling with her eyes to Lie Yang and Jiu Luo, then holding the slender divine sword named "Divine Fire" in her palm.

"I hereby solemnly declare, the deaths of Lv Qinghe and Zhou Yi that you witnessed were not real."

"The two of them are still alive, currently in the Xuan You Continent of the Third Realm. The scenes you saw were merely what He wanted you to see."

"You are very stubborn, and I quite like it, sister. However... you still need to be knocked down a peg, just to make you recognize the reality."

"The reality is, whether you, Pang Jian, are here or not, the future of Purgatory has already been decided. Neither you nor your shifu, Pu Zhaotian, after his Divine Enthronement, can change it!"

Qi Xu swung the "Divine Fire Sword" down.

With the sword’s movement, a total of seven intensely burning meteoric fire streams flew towards Pang Jian, each one with a flickering crimson blood light deep within.

The blood light, magnified by millions of times upon closer inspection, was found to be mingled with innumerable fire crystals.

"Bloodline, Seven Flames!"

The aura emanating from the seven meteoric fire streams suddenly underwent a mysterious transformation.

Celestial fire from beyond the earth, fire from the heart of the earth, the sun’s fire, common fireworks, the flame of alchemy, the furnace fire of weapon-refining, malicious fire in people’s hearts, candlelight that illuminates darkness, forest fires in the mountains—numerous types of fire sprang to life all at once.

This bloodline was known as "Seven Flames," yet in reality, the intricacies of the flames it contained were far more than just seven types.

Within the blood light of the interior of the fire stream meteors, countless fire crystals suddenly shone brilliantly; these crystal structures were the essence of Qi Xu’s blood, bearing the wonders of fire she had understood.

Pang Jian, who had not summoned his Ten Thousand Feet Body and was maintaining his normal form, looked at the seven meteoric fire streams coming his way and instantly felt as if his skin would be scorched.

With a twitch of his brow, he condensed a layer of frost light shield outside his divine body.

With his resolve, a series of extreme cold storms were also instantly formed.

Seven fierce and icy storms, filled with crushed ice and cold crystals, confronted the seven meteoric fire streams.

Like vast ice shields intercepting "fire spears."

"Crack! Crack!"

The meteoric fire streams sparked by Qi Xu’s sword movement, struggled through the freezing cold storms, shattering the ice and cold crystals.

The intense Flame Force also erupted continuously, tearing apart the whirlwind vortex-like storms.

Pang Jian’s expression remained calm as he squinted to sense and quietly marveled.

Several dozen of Qi Xu’s thoroughly comprehended and fully understood principles of fire had imbued the seven meteoric fire streams, showcasing secrets of fire far surpassing those of the Flame Dragons in the Dragon Cave.

Qi Xu had broken through the limitations of her bloodline not long ago, only recently becoming a Level 10 powerhouse; however, the impression she gave Pang Jian was extremely terrifying.

Jiu Luo of the Ghost Clan, who was also a newly emerged Level 10 powerhouse, was far less formidable than her.

Pang Jian put away his underestimation and decided to treat the situation with utmost seriousness.

"Flame Burst!"

Qi Xu, holding her sword, lightly touched the seven extreme cold storms, dropping tiny sparks of flame.

These sparks, following the fire stream meteors, plunged into the depths of the swirling storms, as if igniting boiling water.

The numerous divine powers hidden within the fire stream meteors suddenly exploded!

Seven surges of mighty fiery breaths capable of incinerating everything burst forth like tidal waves, shattering the icy cold storms.

Countless sparks of flame and fire crystals poured down like a torrential downpour, "pit-a-pat," onto Pang Jian’s body.

The frost light shield he had preemptively summoned, upon being struck by such a terrifying cascade of flame light, was riddled with too many holes to count.

"Whoosh!"

A suddenly appearing starry river dazzled before everyone’s eyes.

Dark, icy, mysterious and desolate—the starry river sparkled with countless stars, and the sun and moon shone with brightness.

The starry river came without warning; as it appeared, Pang Jian vanished in an instant.

It continued to grow wildly, with a momentum to swallow mountains and rivers, devouring all the sparks of flame, fire crystals, and meteors of fire.

In Qi Xu’s perception, the Divine Fire invested with her soul and blood suddenly fell into a boundless starry sky.

This starry sky was vast and endless, yet her Divine Fire was but a speck of dust in its presence.

Suddenly, she could no longer see Pang Jian, and could not even detect any trace of his existence.

Pang Jian had indeed disappeared within that starry river.

And in the distance, Lie Yang of the Yao Clan, who had not been in a hurry, suddenly shouted, "Jiu Luo, help Qi Xu find him!"

The emaciated Jiu Luo, with hands like chicken claws hidden in his sleeves, was holding several black triangular tokens.

"Mysterious Ghost secret order, search soul!"

Jiu Luo threw out the Token.

Nine triangular Tokens, within that Star River, transformed into nine dark mountains.

On the surface of the mountains, numerous secret glyphs of the Ghost Clan were etched, some resembling rivers leading to the netherworld, others like ancient Earth Palaces, or the Sea of Souls within every living being’s brain, as well as various kinds of Mysterious Ghosts and Different Kinds.

The nine mountains, amidst the dark and icy Star River, wailed with a "woo woo" sound, as circles of dim light waves rippled out, probing for all hidden yet existing soul thoughts.

"They are!"

Jiu Luo spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with force.

His appearance became ghastly and terrifying, his hands struggling to pull, trying to fish out the nine "Mysterious Ghost Secret Orders."

From the corners of his eyes, his nostrils, his ears, filthy blood was flowing.

Qi Xu, Lie Yang, as well as Li Bai, who was in the midst of battle, were all startled by Jiu Luo’s appearance, unsure of what had happened.

But, they could all see Jiu Luo’s fear and knew he was undergoing something extremely terrifying.

"The stars are Him! The sun and the moon are Him! The dark void is Him! The cold and desolation are also Him! His soul breath is everywhere! He is not hidden within this Star River, but the entire Star River has transformed into His Demon Body!"

"My Mysterious Ghost Token!"

Jiu Luo screamed in terror.

In the depth of the dark Star River, between the nine mountains, a Thunder Pond quietly emerged.

The Thunder Pond gradually enlarged, and within it, a spire-shaped miniature Divine Temple began to form.

This Divine Temple was silver-white, its surface covered in similarly colored Thunder and Lightning, radiating the majestic aura of a sovereign ruling all thunder gods, commanding the laws of Thunderbolt across myriad domains.

Thunder God pursued the eradication of Ghost Objects and all Evil Demons as his lofty ideal for the Great Tao, using the Divine Temple to unleash his vast divine might.

"Crack!

"Boom!"

Lightning scattered, and the sound of thunder eradicated all sorts of demons and ghosts.

The "Mysterious Ghost Secret Orders" that Jiu Luo had tossed in, which had transformed into nine mountains, were destroyed and shattered amidst the lightning and thunder.

The Thunder and Lightning, still following the connection with the owner of the Tokens, reached directly to the true body of Jiu Luo.

"Hiss! Hiss hiss!"

The gaunt Jiu Luo, at the corners of his eyes, his nostrils, and his ears no longer flowed filthy blood.

But instead, they began to flow with the light of Thunder and Lightning!

The newly crowned level 10 powerhouse of the Ghost Clan, the moment he intervened, got struck by the Thunder Pond that traced back along the "Mysterious Ghost Secret Orders" and invaded his mind, causing his soul to scatter on the spot.

Jiu Luo was too weak, and the Thunder Pond, after being sublimated by Lei Meng Beast God, had forged a Divine Temple.

The Thunder Pond is the nemesis of all Ghost Objects and Evil Demons. How could Jiu Luo withstand the display of such mighty power from this Divine Artifact?

It wasn’t just Jiu Luo.

When the "Mysterious Ghost Secret Orders" broke and shattered, the Thunder Pond suddenly flew out of the dark and icy Star River, heading straight for the ancient demon beneath Li Bai that he had created.

The ancient demon, deemed the source of all demons, is the origin of all Demon Clan.

The ancient demon that Li Bai had created, enshrined his longing and aspiration for the venerable ancient Demon Clan, intending to recreate his own unique Demon Body in this form in the future.

But the ancient demon is still a demon, and likewise restrained by the Thunder Pond.

"Hiss hiss!"

The silver-white Divine Temple at the center of the Thunder Pond, just by the sound of the Thunder and Lightning, began to tear apart this ancient demon, making it difficult for Li Bai to maintain his power over the ancient demon.

In the blink of an eye, the limbs and the head of the ancient demon began to separate from the Demon Body.

"Stop meddling!"

The Source Demon engaged in fierce battle with Li Bai, was also startled and hurriedly said, "The aura of that Thunder Pond could destroy my Demon Realm Cave Heaven, and I could be collateral damage too!"

The six great "Demon Realm Cave Heavens" were shaking and were on the verge of collapse at the arrival of the Thunder Pond.

The Thunder Pond, sublimated by Lei Meng Beast God and now featuring a majestic silver-white Divine Temple in its center, possessed part of the original divine might and grandeur of the Thunder Divine Court.

It caused Jiu Luo to die instantly, and even the Demon God felt fear.

"Oh."

Pang Jian’s ethereal voice came from the depths of the Star River.

The Thunder Pond suddenly stopped, and Pang Jian, like a glimmering light, quietly emerged amidst the dazzling stars of the Star River.

The next moment, he retracted the image of the "Chaotic Sky Curtain," reverting to his initial form.

"Five Thunders Bombardment!"

A towering colossal column, he tossed aside.

Gold Thunder, Earth Thunder, Wood Thunder, Water Thunder, and Fire Thunder, five divine thunders rapidly solidified within five Thunder Vortices, as the colossal column, as if creating heaven and earth, smashed towards Lie Yang.

A drop of essence blood seeped out from the forehead of the Yao Clan chief, from within the Fierce Sun Mark.

Many suns, submerged in the "Sun Curtain," drawn by his Bloodline, flew out from the intensely burning "Fire Domain," colliding with the countless thunder orbs falling from the sky.

Extreme light and heat exploded as Lie Yang invoked the Big Sun Divine Skill, using numerous fiery suns to shatter the thunder orbs and resolve the bombardment of Five Thunders Bombardment.

This old man, with many small red braids, snorted coldly and then threw his fist at the high sky.

His firm fist filled the space above, his overwhelming Qi and Blood compressing the Mysterious Fog, and it fiercely collided with the towering Five Thunders Bombardment divine column.

The glowing divine column was smashed into the air by Lie Yang’s fist, and the various Gold Thunder, Wood Thunder, Fire Thunder, and Water Thunder all perished.

The Yao Clan chief, of ordinary human height and without a body of ten thousand feet, without using the Big Sun Secret Gist but purely with the strength of his physical body and the power of Qi and Blood, broke through the bombardment of countless divine thunders.
