Chapter 683: Chapter 645 Confronting the Bronze-faced God_1

"Han Yi, Pang Jian has really killed Youkui!"

"Over at the Ghost Clan, Zimo has been alarmed. I just received news that Zimo and He Motian have together conveyed a divine message, ordering the god spirits nearby this star river to gather and kill Pang Jian."

"You must leave immediately!"

"..."

The urgent voice of the Moon Goddess kept coming from the crystal token in Han Yi’s hand.

In the meteorite, the cool and beautiful face of the Goddess of Cold Crystal showed a complex expression of surprise and concern.

"Ying Yue, I..."

He hesitated to speak further.

"Either plunge into the Mysterious Fog or quickly move to my moon territory! Regardless of what Pang Jian will face afterward, whether he can enter the Mysterious Fog, you cannot change that!" the Moon Goddess said sternly.

Fearing that Han Yi might not understand the severity of the situation and make a wrong decision again, She changed her persuasion method: "Han Yi, everyone knows we are close, and some have seen us leave the Moon territory together."

"You must remember, anything you do could potentially involve me."

"Even if you won’t consider yourself, shouldn’t you also think about me, Han Yi?"

The Moon Goddess knew well that this way of persuasion would make Han Yi weigh his actions heavily and not act recklessly.

"Understood."

The Goddess of Cold Crystal softly responded, and then, before those god spirits arrived, She swiftly flew out on Her Divine Platform, which belonged exclusively to Her.

Her Divine Platform, like a cold star falling, dashed toward the vast Mysterious Fog Sea below.

She didn’t choose to meet with Ying Yue at the moon, as She thought that Pang Jian would eventually sink into the sea of fog and find a mysterious way back to Purgatory.

Once in the Mysterious Fog, it would be difficult for the gods to trace, and maybe She would still have a chance to help Pang Jian.

...

Earth Heart Cave.

Pang Jian’s Immortal Primordial Spirit reverted to a humanoid form, and before him, a slender space rift was slowly healing.

His Primordial Spirit in the stars above the Mysterious Fog and his true body in the Mysterious Fog inside Purgatory were somehow able to open the "Purgatory Gate" and establish a connection between his main body and true body.

Whether the "Purgatory Gate" had grown stronger or he himself had grown stronger, the marvels of the bronze token were becoming increasingly astonishing.

At this moment, as the space rift was about to heal, Pang Jian could, in an instant, travel from this cave to the interior of Purgatory.

In Purgatory, within his true body’s mind, the Second Soul and the Filthy Essence were in the process of fusion.

His suddenly manifested Primordial Spirit could act as a Protector, but he suddenly hesitated.

Since the "Purgatory Gate" could now allow him to return to Purgatory from any realm, why should he be so eager?

Youkui was dead, Zimo knew the truth, and the gods’ blockade and interception should happen soon.

But no god spirit had arrived yet.

He didn’t have to rush like this; finally, as a Primordial Spirit Body in physical form, free from Purgatory, from the Mysterious Fog, shouldn’t he explore more of the situation beyond the stars, like those Human True Gods from the past who roamed the Boundless Star River?

Thinking this way, he let the space rift heal and picked up the blade left behind by Youkui.

With the departure of the Source Demon and lacking a sharp weapon at hand, he had to make do with what was available.

The half-arm-long blade, shaped like a short sword and named "Ghost Firefly," was a mid-level Divine Artifact.

Drawing from the memories of Youkui, Pang Jian recalled for a moment and understood how to use "Ghost Firefly."

"Ghost Firefly" didn’t possess what is called an Artifact Soul; it was made of hard and sharp material, and when used in conjunction with the many Divine Skills of souls mastered by Youkui, it could exert extraordinarily exceptional power.

In the previous battle, "Ghost Firefly" had only shown its sharp side as wielded by Youkui, and many of its divine mysteries were not activated.

This was because Youkui faced Pang Jian, who had Thunder Pond and the Five Thunders Bombardment, surrounded by Thunderous Lightning; the other profound divine powers of "Ghost Firefly" were difficult to exert.

But, if Pang Jian were to use "Ghost Firefly" against other god spirits, its power at the soul level could be unleashed.

"Soul Forbidden, Ghost River, Soul Transfer Skill, Soul Capture..."

Various secret skills of the soul flowed like streams of knowledge, as Pang Jian pondered their inner mysteries, familiarizing himself with the Divine Artifact "Ghost Firefly."

After a while.

In the cave where the Thunderous Lightning had long since vanished, an abnormal spatial fluctuation arose from the center of the Teleportation Array that had been split by the Source Demon.

"Whoosh!"

A divine shadow donning a bronze mask suddenly appeared.

The moment He emerged, He was confounded by the sight in the Earth Heart Cave.

All nine sea bowls used for transferring gold, iron, and silver essence were shattered, and even the Space Teleportation Array had collapsed. Chunks of the Star Devourer’s limbs had turned to char, evidently no longer valuable.

The Bronze-faced God, who had appeared in this place by leveraging another Secret Skill after the failure of the material transfer, only saw a person surrounded by Seven-color God Light, holding a Divine Artifact of Youkui, deep in thought.

"Bronze-faced God?"

The person looked on, baffled.

"You know me, have you stripped away all of Youkui’s memories?" The Bronze-faced God grew even more astonished.

He scrutinized Pang Jian’s figure and appearance, then said carefully, "To which race do you belong? In my memory, no race has a body like yours, radiating seven-colored halos; what is this secret race from beyond the stars?"

The Bronze-faced God could only look, unable to sense Pang Jian’s aura from the distant unknown starry skies through His projection.

What He saw was Pang Jian, who seemed not to have real flesh and blood, but rather appeared to have a strange body made of seven-colored jade.

"Purgatory, Human Race."

Pang Jian replied indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes beneath the mask of the Bronze-faced God’s shadow brightened sharply.

The light was captivating, as if it had traversed boundless voids to shine directly upon Pang Jian.

Pang Jian even heard the clear sound of a sword’s cry!

"Purgatory! Human Race!"

The Bronze-faced God’s voice grew sharp, "I don’t believe it! The Human Race’s body is not like this; I understand the form of the Human Race!"

While shocked, He also expressed doubt.

He suspected that the person before Him was one of those pursuing the Human True Gods and had fabricated this appearance to probe His origins.

Therefore, He dared not reveal His own identity.

"Your belief doesn’t matter," Pang Jian said coldly.

In the memories of Youkui, this mysteriously originated Bronze-faced God was a powerful divine blacksmith from the Outer Domain Galaxy, adept in forging Divine Artifacts suitable for various God Spirits.

The Bronze-faced God’s background, which Star Domain He hailed from, and what powers stood behind Him were all unknown to Youkui.

Pang Jian had no interest in finding out either.

He approached and noticed that beneath the Array that had revealed the Bronze-faced God, another hidden Array apparatus was operating.

"If you are a Human, do you know the current state of the Human Race?" The Bronze-faced God probed cautiously, "And what is your name? Which Sect or power do you come from?"

"Pang Jian, from Sword Tower."

Having answered casually, Pang Jian contemplated whether to destroy the hidden Array and break the Bronze-faced God’s surveillance over him.

He felt that even if the Bronze-faced God were mysterious, He was still one of the Alien Gods from Outer Space and might reveal the secret that he was still in this star domain to Zimo.

If that were the case, the efforts of the Source Demon to attract the attention of the gods on his behalf would be meaningless.

"What are the main peaks of Sword Tower now?" asked the Bronze-faced God.

"Six. They are Litian Peak, Sharpen Blade Peak, Fish Leap Peak, Misty Peak, Bright Peak, and Severed Fate Peak," Pang Jian replied, his eyes filled with puzzlement. Not in a hurry to destroy the apparatus, he asked, "And what race do you hail from?"
