Chapter 681: Chapter 643 "Fishing" for Filthy Essence_1

Fifth Realm of Purgatory, First Continent.

Falling God Mountain.

This towering and precipitous mountain range was rumored to have once been visited by God Spirits, with Thunderous Lightning striking the deep valleys from time to time.

It was on this very Falling God Mountain that Pang Jian’s Dan Tian began to transform.

Seven fragments, refined from the Filthy Alien Power and formed into turbid crystals, floated above the darkness in his Dan Tian.

After these had separated from the Spiritual Power-laden fragments and had coalesced into Gold Mountains, Flame Pool, Ice Pool, earth, Thunder Vortex, forests, and waters, they suddenly sank once again, following the inherence of the powers from the six Great Demons and the secrets of the plants from the World Tree.

They symbolized Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Cold Ice, and Thunder and Lightning, seven kinds of forces, now transformed into gold mountains, vast forests, winding rivers, glaciers, volcanoes, and elements of thunder and lightning.

Atop the seven crystalline fragments were now golden radiant mountain ranges, erupting fiery volcanoes, bitterly cold ice lands, forests, seas, and wandering Thunder and Lightning.

These seven forms, embodying extreme powers, were not segregated distinctly but were intermixed among the different fragments.

They just had different emphases.

Some fragments had more gold and iron mountains; some had more volcanoes; some had larger areas of rivers and seas; some had more expansive forests.

And these mirrored the seven continents of the Fifth Realm with remarkable similarity.

None of the continents were created by a singular type of force, and the types of Filthy Alien Power distributed also varied.

At that moment, the seven fragments within Pang Jian’s Dan Tian floated above the darkness.

Above them was a black, demonic sea.

The Demon Sea continued upwards to a fragment of Spiritual Power Crystal.

Higher above the fragment were twinkling stars, comprised of the Bright Moon, the Fierce Sun, and a dazzling Star River.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder and Lightning, Cold Ice, sun, moon, stars, Darkness, and Demon Element Power—his Dan Tian world had them all mirrored.

All the various incarnations of these profound mysteries were aligned in accordance with some celestial law.

Pang Jian, at the Falling God Mountain, subconsciously glanced at the firmament.

He had never truly traversed the skies of the Fifth Realm; all his travels had been instant, aided by the crafting of the "Purgatory Gate."

Now, looking at that dark Sky Curtain, he suddenly knew it should be filled with thick, dense Demon Element Power.

—And it should be consistent with the current state of his Dan Tian!

Within his Dan Tian, above the seven fragments, was a sea of Demon Element Power, manifested as a dark turquoise abyss, a Sky Curtain of the same hue.

This "heaven" of Demon Element Power separated the Fifth and the Fourth Realms, preventing the faint light from the Fourth Realm from permeating into the Fifth.

Wandering this world and traversing its seven continents, he had acquired Dao Marks left by the Demon Emperors and the "World Tree." Continuously drawing upon various Filthy Alien Powers, he finally elevated his Dan Tian.

At this moment, he felt a certain... disturbance.

It was as if a power invisible, a mysterious eye, had suddenly fixed its gaze upon him.

He felt he was within the bounds of certain rules.

There was a peculiar "Dao" taking note of him, considering him as a choice.

"Huh!"

A burst of grey misty light surged from below the darkness of the Fifth Realm, and abruptly established a connection with his body!

This grey misty light, as if guided by his very flesh, had been "fished" from the obscurity!

The aura of the light was immense, containing extremely concentrated and pure power, heading straight for him.

"The essence of Fate from Filthy Alien Power?"

Pang Jian was shocked.

He was of the Human Race, and moreover, had successfully ascended to the rank of True God, his Spiritual Soul and Fate having materialized after merging.

He did not possess the heart of Alien Tribes, nor a Bloodline Crystal Chain!

A force that enabled a Ninth-Rank warrior from the Fifth Realm to break through to the Tenth Rank, the strongest of all, why was it drawn to him?

Because of those seven pieces of land condensed from Filth Alien Power?

Once the Filthy Essence entered his body, would it conflict with his physical form, and how would the Immortal Primordial Spirit settle thereafter?

Could this strange power truly integrate?

A series of thoughts flashed through Pang Jian’s mind like lightning.

Just as the gray and obscure light was about to break free from the darkness, he hesitated for a moment, then quietly flew out from the First Continent.

Assuming the appearance of a Yao Clan warrior, he plunged straight into the Mysterious Fog of the Fifth Realm!

The Mysterious Fog now felt safer and safer to him.

As long as he could enter the Mysterious Fog, the connection between him and the Immortal Primordial Spirit would become more sensitive, and he could also step into the Purgatory World at will.

In the Mysterious Fog, he could also avoid the watchful eyes of the strongest among the Alien Tribes and teleport to the location of the Mysterious Turtle and the Dark Giant Python.

...

Xuan You Continent.

A group of Tenth Rank powerhouses from the Alien Tribes were discussing their next plans when they suddenly sensed something amiss.

"Another Filthy Essence?"

Jingsha startled for a moment, looking at Shajia with some bewilderment, and asked, "Is there anyone else in your Heaven Clan who can absorb a Filthy Essence?"

The gray and obscure light, which had surged from the darkness, was headed toward the First Continent.

On the First Continent, the Tenth Rank was under Shajia’s firm control, making him the strongest there.

Naturally, Jingsha assumed that a Ninth-Rank powerhouse from the Heaven Clan had been secretly left by Shajia in the Fifth Realm, preparing to break through to the Tenth Rank.

With Li Bai fallen, and Wubi, Chi Feng, and Jiu Luo having died in succession, there was more than enough Filthy Essence to go around.

There were eight strands of Filthy Essence, but currently, they only had Shajia, Lie Yang, Aman, Qi Xu, and herself, Jingsha, as Tenth Rank powerhouses.

Advancements due to the Corrosion Boundary Vine and the progression of the Black Dragon did not fall under those eight strands, so even after Mu Yuan and Cloud Marsh successfully harvested a strand, two still remained.

Who the remaining two strands belonged to was something they all had their own candidates for in their hearts, and they had already begun to gather strength in secret.

To their surprise, one of the strands was suddenly harvested from the darkness, naturally attracting everyone’s attention.

"No, there is no one in our Heaven Clan yet who has the qualifications to make a Bloodline breakthrough to the Tenth Rank in a short time," Shajia also felt perplexed but then asked, "Lie Yang, could it be someone from your Yao Clan advancing to the Tenth Rank on my First Continent?"

Lie Yang shook his head, "I can’t think of anyone."

"No matter who it is, it’s certainly a good thing," the Fire God said with a bright smile. "Whoever is favored by that Filthy Essence is bound to be as strong as you all. Qi Xu, why don’t you go down to the Fifth Realm and have a look, then tell us who it actually is?"

Qi Xu, like Him, came from the Flame Clan, and He found him the easiest to instruct.

"I’ll go now."

Qi Xu pursed his lips with a smile and turned into a Flaming Meteor, plummeting down.

...

In the Mysterious Fog of the Fifth Realm.

Pang Jian had just rushed in when he saw a gray and obscure light, streaking towards him like lightning.

"Hiss!"

The Filthy Essence, which could elevate an Alien Tribe warrior to the Tenth Rank, entered directly into the center of his forehead.

It instantly appeared in his Spirit Sea of Consciousness!

The gray and obscure light, once inside, came to an abrupt halt as if searching and sensing for something.

At that moment, Pang Jian’s Spirit Sea of Consciousness contained only strands of consciousness and had no Spiritual Soul residing within.

...
