The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 671 - 633: The Original Purgatory_1

Chapter 671: Chapter 633: The Original Purgatory_1

Outside the heavens, a region of frozen, floating meteorites.

"He flies very quickly."

Ying Yue clutched a crystal token, feeling the shifting position of Pang Jian, and said, "At this speed, it will take only a dozen Purgatory days for him to reach the star where Youkui hides."

Han Yi smiled reservedly and asked, "Do I look that good?"

He raised his hands, as white as jade, twirling elegantly before the Moon Goddess, showcasing his splendid figure.

His necklace, earrings, and bracelets emitted bright light as he moved.

Waves of icy Divine Power dispersed from the three accessories, blending with his Divine Platform to form a realm of extreme cold that was uniquely his.

The necklace, earrings, and bracelets combined into a set of Divine Artifacts, which could enhance the might of the Extreme Cold Divine Realm he constructed by at least thirty percent.

He had adorned himself specifically with these items to leave a profound impression on Pang Jian with his most beautiful aspect.

However, that fellow seemed a bit obtuse and hadn’t paid him much attention.

"Beautiful, though just slightly inferior to me," Ying Yue said with a playful smile. She hesitated for a moment before adding, "That set of Divine Artifacts is exactly what Youkui desires."

"I know that," said Han Yi, her face turning cold.

It was precisely because Ying Yue had received a message, clearly stating that Youkui wanted the set of Divine Artifacts, that she insisted on wearing them so resplendently, revealing her true form in front of Pang Jian.

"Youkui will die, and I will have Pang Jian look at my Divine Artifact adornments once more."

In the palm of Han Yi’s left hand floated the "Extreme Cold Ghost Mountain"; in this meteorite area suitable for hiding, she gazed at the Nameless Star and said, "Pang Jian is very strong now, I believe he can kill Youkui."

"If he fails, he will die atop the starry river, shrouded in the Mysterious Fog," Ying Yue threw cold water on the notion, analyzing rationally, "He is a Human True God. Once his traces are revealed in the outer sky, plenty of God Spirits will hunt him down."

"Ghost Clan’s Zimo, He Motian, they’re certainly very interested in him."

"He must dip back into the Mysterious Fog quickly after killing Youkui, using the Misty Sea to evade pursuit."

"Han Yi, you promised me, don’t do anything foolish."

"Whether Pang Jian fails or succeeds, we mustn’t show our faces. We absolutely cannot let anyone know that we have ties with the Human True God. That’s a grave taboo!"

She always felt that, ever since Han Yi became involved with Pang Jian, she had grown increasingly less calm.

"Mm, I know," said Han Yi, her mind clearly elsewhere.

Her attention had long been fixed on the crystal token that could allow her to communicate with Pang Jian; she was secretly conveying more of Youkui’s weaknesses to him.

...

Purgatory, the Third Realm.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

Three fiery beams of light descended upon the Xuan You Continent.

"Sir Yan Lie!"

Shajia readily stood up, bowing deeply to the Fire God on the high platform, before giving a gentle nod as a greeting to Lie Yang and Qi Xu.

"Sir Yan Lie!"

The Shadow Clan’s Jingsha and Aman, who crouched in the distance, also responded with respectful titles.

"I hear you descended to the Demon Spirit Continent and attacked a Black Dragon advancing to become a Demon God?" Yan Lie frowned as he inquired.

Shajia did not deny it, explaining, "In that Black Dragon Bloodline, a pure Dark Power surged. My own bloodline is affiliated with the Bright, and once the Black Dragon ascended to Demon Godhood, it would counterbalance my Bloodline."

"Did he escape right under your nose?" Yan Lie pressed on.

Shajia looked embarrassed, nodding, "It is so."

"The Demon Race has a covenant with us, don’t touch him again," Yan Lie huffed, continuing, "With the Sovereign in the Purgatory World, a Demon God that has risen through darkness is something we can tolerate."

"Furthermore, the Sovereign also wishes for him to transform into a new god of the Demon Race with his Dark Blood."

"Purgatory needs the birth of such a God of Darkness."

Yan Lie explained the decision he had made earlier.

Shajia said in astonishment, "Is this His will?"

"Yes."

"Alright, then I understand."

In a moment, Shajia dismissed the idea of continuing the search for the Dark Giant Python and then asked, "Sir, has He... Fallen into the endless darkness below?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lie Yang, Qi Xu, and Jingsha’s expressions all changed.

They were strongmen created in the Fifth Realm, fully aware of what endless darkness implied; had it not been for the Sovereign who had fallen, they would believe anyone else would never reappear.

It was precisely because they knew what being a Sovereign meant that they believed He would return.

"Indeed, He plans to do something that will allow the Filth Alien Power to surge into the First Realm," Yan Lie said with an unfathomable depth.

The strongmen were utterly shaken.

They had always been unclear about the origin of the Filth Alien Power, but they knew that its surges, which seemed to peak at the Second Realm.

If the Filth Alien Power could reach directly down to the First Realm, wouldn’t all but the top cultivators of the Human Race be annihilated?

Mortals and low-level cultivators simply couldn’t withstand the corruption of the Filth Alien Power!

If it were truly so, even if those powerful cultivators managed to survive, the impact of the Filth Alien Power on the Human Race would be catastrophic.

Small sects, subjects of Divine Countries, and people of the Human Race who migrated up from the Fourth, Third, and Second Realms would die in droves under the spread of the Filth Alien Power.

"Sovereign’s divine might is unparalleled!"

"Once successful, we will surely win with ease!"

Qi Xu and Jingsha exclaimed with joy.

...

Golden Feather City.

Pang Jian felt with his flesh and sensed with his Divine Sense, meticulously pondering the Divine Power contained within the piece of golden feather.

One day, he saw a massive Golden-Winged Roc, with wings sharp like long blades, scratching the dome of Purgatory in the First Realm, leaving behind eye-catching golden splinters.

He was so powerful, and the light from each of His Divine Feathers appeared to create faint cracks in the void within Purgatory.

Yet, His forceful tearing at Purgatory’s "Heaven Forbidden" left not a single mark.

He tried time and time again, His golden feathers burning, His Blood of the Demon God boiling, wings reduced to golden Divine Bones, yet still unable to shake the "Heaven Forbidden."

Ultimately, He returned without success, unwillingly plunging back into the Mysterious Fog, once again flapping His wings at the Boundary Wall.

He failed again, and after that, He went to different layers of Purgatory’s Mysterious Fog, cutting at various Boundary Walls.

Still, He failed time after time.

He was already the strongest of His time. Even the first layer of Purgatory was awash with Filth Alien Power, with only a trace of Spiritual Energy dissipating near the "Heaven Forbidden" at the dome.

However, in comparison to the omnipresent Filth Alien Power throughout Purgatory, that bit of Spiritual Energy was pitifully scarce.

He was puzzled by that bit of Spiritual Energy, ignorant of its origins, yet unwilling to dwell on it.

He was the strongest in Purgatory at the time, single-mindedly determined to leave, to reach the visible Star River above and stand shoulder to shoulder with the legendary God Spirits.

But after countless failures, He chose to dive into the endless darkness below the Fifth Realm, never to return.

Feeling His indomitable spirit and unwillingness, witnessing His repeated attempts to ascend, Pang Jian gradually came to understand the Power of Gold He had mastered.

And at that moment, he had successfully absorbed the golden feather, pulling it into his Dantian Goldern Mountain.

"Boom!"

In the darkness, he seemed to hear a strange sound, feeling the grey-black Fragment Land within his abdomen become complete.
