The Purgatory Calamity

Chapter 679: Chapter 641: Trekking Through the Seven Continents_1

In the cave filled with Thunderous Lightning, a furnace burned fiercely, its inner turmoil of fiery water swirling like a vortex.

During the fusion of Youkui’s Spiritual Soul with the "Original Demon Fusion Spell," a great amount of cold and gloomy soul breath merged into his currently unique body, deepening the connection with his real self.

His true form within the Mysterious Fog at the bottom of Purgatory was now ever clearer, and it seemed that they could communicate in real time.

As a Middle-level God, Youkui’s Divine Aura was vast and magnificent, greatly benefiting his Primordial Spirit.

However, during the smelting process, there were troubles.

An overwhelming surge of memories, useless to him, flickered and surged, attempting to become a part of him.

He had to concentrate, quickly discarding the "dross" to prevent Youkui’s experiences from interfering with his own life situation.

Clearing the dross and extracting the essence was an extremely tedious and complex step.

But it was also a process of reacquainting himself with who he was and refining his Divine Consciousness again.

Deep within the furnace, Pang Jian’s consciousness noticed a prismatic crystal through some intercepted memories.

It was green as jade, translucent, and it seemed as if liquid was flowing within.

Upon careful recollection, he realized that beings like the slain Water God Naga and the Alien God Spirit, the Dark Bat, did not contain anything similar within their Spiritual Souls, which struck him as surprising.

He searched Youkui’s vast memories for knowledge related to this object and quickly understood what it was.

Youkui called it God Status, and the liquid inside was the Origin of Gods.

The God Spirits of the Outer Domain Galaxy differed from the True God of the Human Race.

When the Human Race achieved True God status in Purgatory, Fate and the Spiritual Soul combined and refined each other, starting to materialize.

Such was Pang Jian’s Immortal Primordial Spirit, an entity neither crystalline nor jade-like, able to change size at will.

Alien God Spirits like Youkui were different.

For Youkui, Naga, and the Dark Bat, when they first ascended to the status of Low-rank God, it was their hearts—branded with the essence of their Bloodline—that underwent a strange transformation first.

For Them, the heart was key to becoming a God, as it needed to awaken and generate an entirely new Bloodline Crystal Chain.

This was similar to the Alien Tribes of Purgatory ascending to the tenth level or a Demon King transforming into a Demon God.

At this point, the God Spirit of the Alien Tribes had not undergone a fundamental transformation of their Spiritual Souls.

God Spirits like Youkui, upon advancing a step further to become Middle-level Gods, could create their God Status and condense the Origin of Gods within it.

That was the true transformation.

Most of His Spiritual Soul was ethereal, like a green deep sea of illusions, where memories, thoughts, and Divine Consciousness ebbed and flowed.

Only a tiny fraction of the God Status was a solidified crystal.

God Status was also the mark distinguishing Youkui from Low-rank Gods!

Only when the God Status shattered and the Origin of Gods vanished did Youkui truly perish.

Zimo, who was connected to His soul, would only be abruptly disturbed when His God Status was destroyed.

"Can the God Status merge after shattering?" he wondered.

With this thought, in the magma furnace formed from his Primordial Spirit, the swirling vortex suddenly accelerated, and countless fire crystals of ghostly lightning simultaneously stabbed towards Youkui’s God Status.

"Crackle!"

The God Status representing Youkui instantly showed cracks.

...

In the Fifth Layer of Purgatory, on the Seventh Continent.

Pang Jian, in his true form as a Yao Clan warrior, was tirelessly devouring the Filth Alien Power as he traversed mountains and rivers everywhere.

He kept rushing forward, not lingering too long, until he entered a bitter and cold world.

The filthy alien power in this area also had a faint whiff of extreme cold that he couldn’t absorb into the Spiritual Sea of his dantian.

Recalling his experiences in Golden Feather City, he shifted the Ice Pool above his dantian to the second piece of Fragment Land above the darkness.

This piece corresponding to the Seventh Continent, the moment the Ice Pool fell into it, he felt a surge of the Extreme Cold Alien Power.

Hours later, a silver-white phoenix the size of a palm, was condensed from the cold force of this world mixed with the will left by the second Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor, Ice Yi, was in truth a phoenix.

In that ancient era, He was the overlord of the Seventh Continent, at which time the spiritual energy of the Purgatory World had not yet emerged.

He was even older than Jin Yu.

In that time, He soared through the many worlds of Purgatory, flying from the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm and then from the Upper Realm towards the Mysterious Fog, also longing to break out of the Purgatory prison.

His final destination was also the endless dark of the Fifth Realm, where after vanishing He never reappeared.

"The second ancient Demon Emperor!"

Pang Jian found the path to His Ice extremely smooth to comprehend.

When the silver-white ice phoenix landed on the Fragment Land above the darkness of the dantian, his spirit shook and he immediately felt a connection with the Seventh Continent.

Afterwards, with the "Purgatory Gate," he traversed other continents.

On the Sixth Continent, he acquired a water essence left by the Demon Emperor Shui Yuan, who was originally a sea kun and lived in the deep sea of the Sixth Continent. After fruitlessly searching for ways to leave Purgatory, it too plunged into the endless dark.

On the Fourth Continent, there was the remaining force of the vanished "World Tree," which was also called one of the sources of filth.

Merging His remnants into this world was even more fortunate — without almost any obstruction, Pang Jian integrated it into his body.

On the Third Continent, in the Flame Holy City where the Flame Clan lived, he gathered filthy alien power and absorbed a miniature fire dragon into his body.

The Demon Emperor Dragon Shining was a level-ten demon god of the Dragon Race.

He was the mightiest of the Dragon Race before Long Xiao, and He too eventually descended into the deeper darkness of the Fifth Realm, never to return.

On the Second Continent, the first demon god of the Rock Bear Tribe, known as the Earth Bear Xiong Ji, also left his legacy in the deep mountains for Pang Jian to reap.

Last, Pang Jian in Falling God Mountain on the First Continent, when devouring filthy alien power, extracted strands of silver-white thunder and lightning, which transformed into a White Crane.

The White Crane gracefully settled into his dantian, blending into his Thunder Vortex.

The Demon Emperors Jin Yu, Ice Yi, Xiong Ji, Shui Yuan, Long Yao, Thunder Crane, and a lifeless "World Tree," all had traces of power lasting tens of thousands of years imprinted on them, existing in different continents.

Over so many years, generation after generation of new demon gods emerged, with level-ten warriors of Alien Tribes appearing one after another.

Yet the traces of those seven towering beings, which represented the pinnacle of a type of power, somehow remained intact and coincidentally absorbed by Pang Jian through the "Chaos Sea."

Pang Jian himself found it hard to believe.

He even suspected that those peculiar Dao Marks had always been lurking, unseen.

It was only because of the great calamity that occurred once every hundred thousand years, only because of the recent violent changes of heaven and earth, and only because he came bearing the "Purgatory Gate," that these Dao Marks began to appear one by one.

The Demon Emperor Jin Yu was the first, and then, the rest of the six lost Dao Marks gradually disclosed themselves.

...

In the First Realm, the Outer Realm of Eastern Lands.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

In the hazy and indistinct foreign land, seven illusory images of Heavenly Tribulation Pillars suddenly appeared in a flash.

This time, not only the Ghost Mother, Zhu Ji, and Li Wang were startled but they also sensed the abnormality.
