The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 660 - 624 Premeditated God Hunt_1

Chapter 660: Chapter 624 Premeditated God Hunt_1

A fragment of land surrounded by raging flame, thunderously collided with the space where the silent "World Tree" existed, causing the gathering of Demon Kings and Great Demons to tense up once again.

Strongest beings from Alien Tribes frequently appeared, each capable of destroying this place, leaving the Demon Race in constant fear.

Today, a true Alien God Spirit had descended!

The Divine Aura flowing from the fragment spread boundlessly, sweeping across the "World Tree" and the seven fragment lands in the blink of an eye.

All of the Demon Race’s secrets were suddenly exposed, with nothing left to hide.

"Your Excellency!"

The White Fox Demon King timidly flew out from one of the fragment lands, anxiously bowing in salute and said, "We..."

The burning fragment land, however, did not linger for a moment, and Yan Lie did not care about what the White Fox Demon King said.

The fragment land had its own direction and destination, knowing where to fly.

"Whoosh!"

It projected itself towards the even murkier deep seas in the north.

In the interior of the fragment land, where magma oozed scaldingly and volcanoes erupted with intense flames, a Fire God bearing the word "Lie" in his name rose into the air with a stern face.

In the vast Misty Sea, at the waist of Lie Yang, a conspicuous, enormous cavity had appeared.

The glimmer of the Sun God Glare and the golden blood of Lie Yang mingled together, flowing outward. The old man, whose figure returned to normal, showed no sign of pain on his face, remaining calm as if the injury wasn’t his.

The "Hunyuan Big Sun Chart" was separated from his body and once again hovered behind him.

Within the chart, the Golden Toad was languid and weak, the Golden Crow Divine Bird retracted its soaring posture, curling up as if healing.

The twelve willow leaves had also lost their dazzling Divine Light.

It would take many valuable treasures to repair the badly damaged Divine Artifact to its original state.

"Sovereign, Pang Jian and the Origin Demon Sword have crossed the Boundary Wall and disappeared into the Mysterious Fog outside of Purgatory," Qi Xu, towering in stature, sank down to a level just below the Fire God Yan Lie and respectfully saluted before explaining, "During the battle with Lie Yang, I was not allowed to interfere. I respected his decision and intended to use the ’Fire Domain’ to obstruct his escape, but I still failed."

"Please punish me, Sovereign."

Qi Xu buried his head deep into his chest.

Yan Lie, returning to his normal height, sensed both the seriousness of Lie Yang’s injuries and the violent energy emanating from him, feeling inwardly moved.

Such pure, extreme, intense Sun God Power was rarely encountered even on the bodies of Sun Gods in the outside world.

That Lie Yang, in the Fifth Realm of Purgatory, had refined the bloodline of the Yao Clan to such purity and comprehended the Divine Skills of the Sun God to such profound and mysterious extents, was indeed awe-inspiring.

He suddenly felt a sense of valuing talent.

A "Sun God Canon" that He had obtained from beyond the skies, which He had hesitated to give to Lie Yang, was now thrown out by His hand.

As the "Sun God Canon" flipped open, runes resembling the Sun God Fire actively merged into Lie Yang’s body, helping to heal his wounds.

The canon contained the method for forging the Sun God Temple, the Secret Skills for enslaving believers, and the steps to construct the Altar of Praying to God.

The power a Sun God should possess, the canon, the believers, and many related knowledge were all detailed in that "Sun God Canon".

"Heal well; we will need you in the battles with the Human True God in the future," Yan Lie softly consoled.

He was willing to form a good relationship through the canon because He believed that this Yao Clan elder was truly a sharp weapon in the fight against the Human True God.

If Lie Yang ever had the chance to step out of Purgatory and into the vast Star River, with the comprehension he had demonstrated and the terrifying power he had unleashed, Lie Yang could become a High Sun God.

Such a person was worth the early offer of an olive branch from Him.

Pang Jian’s escape, Li Bai’s and Jiu Luo’s deaths, He accepted the situation as it was, not mentioning a word about it.

Behind Li Bai stood He Motian, and Zimo of the Ghost Clan was behind Jiu Luo.

Those two High Gods had their own agendas, and having their reach within Purgatory severed might actually free the Sovereign from restraint.

...

Beyond the Boundary Wall, deep within the Mysterious Fog.

Pang Jian suspended in place with the Origin Demon Sword, aware that the Fire God loyal to Luo Hongyan should have appeared at the other end.

"That Fire God, after slaying Lin Qiyang in the First Realm, gathered an immense amount of fiery energy, restoring his Divine Power too quickly."

Source Demon analyzed calmly from within his small world inside the sword, "He is a bona fide High God. Even though He hasn’t fully regained the power of a High God within Purgatory, His understanding of the path of flame and application of Fire Power is still at the level of a High God."

"At present, the power He can unleash is not something we can provoke."

"Pang Jian, you should properly temper this Divine body and think about how to continue advancing and strengthening yourself through what steps."

"Your situation is quite different from the true gods currently in Purgatory."

Source Demon pondered, with no clear answer in mind.

"Perhaps, only those gods of the Human Race who left Purgatory early on and discovered the secrets to the race’s later prosperity could provide you some insights."

"But those guys, they’ve all gone into hiding; I don’t know where they are concealed."

He and Pang Jian were not of the same species or group, and when Pang Jian ascended to the rank of Immortal Realm Divine Enthronement, He also did not know how the Human True God should proceed after leaving Purgatory.

Listening to His words, Pang Jian looked at the Thunder Pond in his hands, especially staring at the Silver-white Temple within, and suddenly said, "If we join forces, plus this Thunder Pond, is it possible to assassinate a Ghost Clan’s Middle-level God?"

The Ghost Clan Youkui was the target he had promised the Goddess of Cold Crystal to exterminate.

Before, he was not sure he could do it.

But after the construction of the Silver-white Temple, when he killed Jiu Luo with such ease, it gave him the confidence and assurance.

"If it’s a Middle-level God of the Ghost Clan, with this Thunder Pond, and with me having absorbed Li Bai and become somewhat stronger, it’s worth a try," the Source Demon earnestly replied.

Pang Jian nodded, "Then good, let’s see if we have a chance to carry out this task."

His Shifu had successfully advanced to True God, and after merging with the "Heaven Forbidden" of Purgatory, he became optimistic about the internal situation of Purgatory all at once.

The Alien Tribes and the Old Thunder Dragon, who conspired to launch that wave of attacks against the Human Race, now seem not to have achieved the desired effect.

The next wave of attacks should come with the surge of Filth Alien Power.

In other words, he had another period of relatively stable time to use.

He planned to use this time to do as much as he could in the Mysterious Fog outside of Purgatory and the starry sky above the Mysterious Fog to disrupt the arrangements of the various gods and accumulate his own power.

Qi Xu, Lie Yang, one mastered flame, the other pondered the Big Sun Divine Skill.

In terms of understanding and awareness of the mysteries of single powers, these two powerhouses from the Fifth Realm had left a deep impression on him.

Especially Lie Yang.

This elder’s control and perception of Sun God wonders made Pang Jian, who also harbored a mini sun within himself and knew some sun-based spells, realize what it meant to be utterly overpowered.

Without the Thunder Pond, the Five Thunders Bombardment, the Origin Demon Sword, and the "Demon Sun" that merged numerous divine power spells, he would be utterly defeated.

He was determined to carefully comb through the divine power laws he currently possessed, purify and temper his Immortal Primordial Spirit, including his True Body that he had left in the Dark Prison.

...

Above the Mysterious Fog.

Two goddesses were commanding the Divine Platform, journeying to a lonely star that had strayed away from the sight of the multitudes of gods.

In the dark and icy starry sky, Ying Yue had a cold expression on her face as she glanced back at the moon, which was growing increasingly distant, and said, "I hope Youkui won’t make outrageous demands this time."

Han Yi frowned, focusing on the star that was still very far from Him, and said, "Why did Youkui choose such a star?"

"I guess, He’s raising that Star Devourer. He chose a star that the gods don’t care about and that holds little value, to allow the Star Devourer to grow continuously," Ying Yue said with a slight tug at the corner of her mouth, scoffing, "The stronger the Star Devourer becomes, the more valuable it is. Youkui believes that He can completely control the Star Devourer for now and can give it some room to grow."

The thought that the Star Devourer, which had been so easily within reach, had been smoothly seized by Youkui made Her furious.

And now, to be manipulated by Youkui on a star that He controlled, to meet Him — it aggravated Her.

Being a Middle-level God as well, Youkui was simply exploiting the knowledge of His and Her secret to blackmail the two of them, which made Ying Yue grit her teeth in anger.

Suddenly, Han Yi’s Divine Platform quietly halted.

Ying Yue’s eyes showed surprise as she wielded the power of the moon in her hands, infusing strands of pure moonlight into the Divine Platform, also coming to a stop and asking puzzledly, "What’s wrong?"

"Pang Jian said that he’ll take it upon himself to eliminate Youkui."

Han Yi bit her luscious lower lip, her cold gaze flashing with a fierce murderous intent, and said, "The Thunder Pond he acquired has revealed a new wonder, and he believes that he has the power to assassinate Youkui."

Upon hearing this, Ying Yue fell silent, thinking about the news She had received just before the "Heaven Forbidden" closed.

A Nine-headed Bird Demon God was killed by Pang Jian in the Purgatory lands, as was the Ghost Clan’s Jiu Luo.

She didn’t know about the demise of Li Bai, but just based on the Nine-headed Bird Demon God and that Ghost Clan’s Jiu Luo, coupled with the fact that the Thunder Pond was a Divine Artifact left by the Thunder God...

She had a faint feeling that maybe Pang Jian truly had a chance of success.

After a moment, She asked in a low voice, "Shall we take another gamble?"

Han Yi ground her teeth, "Let’s bet! I don’t want our secrets to be manipulated by that Youkui, who could threaten us again in the future. Also, the Star Devourer we both worked so hard to obtain! He’s already taken the Star Devourer, raising it in secret, and still refuses to let us go! Youkui is too greedy; only with His death can we rest easy."

Ying Yue nodded and then added, "No matter where it is, Youkui can communicate with Zimo. Neither of us must appear when Pang Jian makes his move, or it would ruin everything."

Han Yi gently closed her eyes, communicating with Pang Jian’s True Body through the avatar she had left in the Dark Prison.

Seconds later, She said, "Pang Jian said he can kill Youkui on his own, without us needing to intervene. All we need to do is provide him with Youkui’s location and make sure there are no other God Spirits nearby."

Ying Yue skeptically asked, "Is that it? That’s all we need to do?"

"Just that!"

"Well then, tell him I agree!"

Afterward, Ying Yue and Han Yi no longer hurried towards the star where Youkui was hidden.

They leisurely used their network of messages to sense the surroundings, gradually becoming confident that Youkui, in order to keep the secret of the Star Devourer, had not communicated with any other God Spirits friends.

This reassurance made Them feel much more at ease.
