The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 684 - 646 New and Old Sword God_1

Chapter 684: Chapter 646 New and Old Sword God_1

Pang Jian grew suspicious.

Just as he had revealed his identity as a member of the Purgatory Human Tribe, he faintly heard the sound of a sword’s cry.

The Source Demon and that sword had long since left, and "Ghost Firefly" contained no Artifact Soul; it was not a Divine Sword, so it was impossible for there to be a sound of a sword’s cry.

Then, where did the sword’s cry come from?

It must be from the Bronze-faced God!

How could an Alien God Spirit carry a Divine Sword used by Sword Cultivators, and why was there a Sword Spirit responding with its cry?

"Your Excellency, are you from the Heaven Clan, Ghost Clan, or Demon Clan?"

Pang Jian asked again, his gaze sharp as he said, "I heard a sword’s cry, have you killed one of our Sword Tower’s Sword Gods and taken possession of a Divine Sword?"

There were many Sword Gods from the Sword Tower who had left Purgatory and entered the Outer Domain Galaxy, and surely many had been killed by gods of the Alien Tribes.

He suspected that a Divine Sword had fallen into the hands of the Bronze-faced God.

The Bronze-faced God chuckled, counter-questioning instead of answering, "Where are the Book Tower, Alchemy Tower, and Utensil Tower located?"

In His unknown space, there were six miniature peaks, modeled after Litian Peak, Sharpen Blade Peak, Fish Leap Peak, Misty Peak, Bright Peak, and Severed Fate Peak, cast from black iron, now quietly floating beside Him.

He was like that inverted nine-story Sword Tower, situated among the nine peaks.

At that moment, the Bronze-faced God glanced at the small wooden sword, signaling it to silence.

The small wooden sword, whirling around the six peaks, sensibly refrained from making any more sword cries.

"Sharpen Blade Peak," Pang Jian answered.

"What is the place called where Sword Tower receives outsiders?"

"Equal Cloud Town."

"Who is your Shifu?"

"The current master of Sword Tower, Pu Zhaotian."

After the exchange, the Bronze-faced God fell silent and removed His mask, revealing a Human Race face with black hair and black eyes.

It was a handsome face, bold and full of aggressive sharpness, with piercing features.

His lips curled into a delighted smile, saying, "You’re this era’s Realm God, aren’t you?"

Pang Jian was profoundly shaken.

Without further explanation, the mysterious Bronze-faced God, whose True Body was somewhere unknown, was a Human True God like himself, one of the survivors from beyond!

"Yes!"

Pang Jian’s heart surged as he took a deep breath and asked, "And who might Your Excellency be?"

"Like you, I also hail from Sword Tower," said the Bronze-faced God with a gentle look.

Pang Jian’s eyes lit up, "May I inquire which senior you are?"

"Haha!"

The Bronze-faced God laughed heartily, about to reveal His identity and have a detailed conversation with Pang Jian.

A surge of supernatural ability associated with souls suddenly came through the void, as if to permeate the depths of the entire star.

The image of the Bronze-faced God distorted and blurred in an instant.

The words He wanted to say, His expressions, and His movements, all were affected by this overwhelming wave of soul-associated supernatural ability.

Moments later, before the Bronze-faced God could speak another word, He vanished from Pang Jian’s sight.

The power that twisted the laws of the void was a mire formed by Soul Power, spanning vast spaces, filling the entire star in an incredibly short time!

"Zimo’s Divine Skills!"

Pang Jian’s face changed.

Han Yi had mentioned to him that Zimo did not comprehend the powers of the void.

The Great Demon God Hemo Tian also did not specialize in this field, which was why he had boldly come here to kill Youkui.

But it seemed Han Yi was also unaware that Zimo, as a High God, could directly affect his dominion of death with his soul Divine Skills!

Soul Power turned into mire, ignoring spatial distance to overwhelm and come flooding in, directly altering the local void’s laws, was a Divine Skill cast by a Supreme God of the Ghost Clan.

In Youkui’s memory, there was a profound impression of this aspect.

Inside the Soul Swamp, Pang Jian’s connection with his True Body was severed, preventing him from opening "Purgatory Gate" again.

The Thunder Pond hidden within his body was summoned forth, unleashing wild and explosive Thunderous Lightning.

"Boom!"

Using the lightning from the Thunder Pond to forge a path, he charged along the route he came from, heading for the void beyond the stars.

Enacting magic from a distance upon this star, even the Mysterious Fog, which filled and surrounded the entire star with the power of the Soul Swamp, couldn’t withstand the violent impact of this Divine Artifact.

Amidst the thunder and lightning, Pang Jian surged forward fiercely.

After the initial fear subsided, Pang Jian regained his calm, no longer appearing panicked.

Youkui’s memory informed him that Zimo’s supernatural ability could only stretch the breath of the soul over distances.

But Zimo’s True Body could not instantly appear alongside it.

As long as it wasn’t Zimo’s True Body, the extreme violence of the lightning within the Thunder Pond was enough for him to advance against the tide of the Soul Swamp!

Indeed, his judgment proved to be correct.

With the way paved by Thunderous Lightning, the tide of the Soul Swamp was cleared by him, and he escaped from the unknown stars wrapped in ghostly electricity.

Outside the stars, the muddy brown tide of souls churned, spreading out from this star as the center, enveloping a vast expanse of the starry sky.

The power of a High God left Pang Jian in awe.

Had it not been for the infinite protection of blazing lightning, had it not been for carrying the Five Thunders Bombardment and Thunder Pond, he might have become a lost soul in such a terrifying Soul Swamp tide.

Zimo’s divine skill that created the Soul Swamp tide could instantly strip the souls from all living beings in the affected area.

With the current extent of the Soul Swamp’s spread, if it appeared in a civilization’s radiant star, it could turn billions of beings across several stars into a Lost Soul Sea in an instant.

Once the lost souls entered the Soul Swamp, the swamp itself gained "souls," and its might was further enhanced.

Zimo could even materialize a divine body with one-third the strength of His own True Body through the "lost souls" of billions of beings, to carry out slaughter from afar.

"Thank goodness, Youkui chose a star without living beings."

"Thank goodness this place is remote!"

Secretly relieved, Pang Jian unleashed lightning from the Thunder Pond like an inverted waterfall, himself and the waterfall of lightning descending together.

Heading straight for the vast Misty Sea.

As he plummeted downward, the Soul Swamp tide followed like a shadow, its reach extending from high above to below.

As long as he was within the range of the Soul Swamp, even if not contaminated by the terrible alien power within, he could not communicate with his True Body and could not open "Purgatory Gate."

At a vast distance, clusters of stars began to twinkle.

The "stars" flickered, and with each flicker, they drew ever closer to him.

Pang Jian, within the tides of the soul, dared not release his Divine Consciousness to investigate and could not discern the true nature of those "stars" with his eyes.

But he knew that the "stars" he was seeing were Alien God Spirits rushing towards him on the Divine Platform.

There were dozens of them!

"Crack! Boom! Boom!"

Sensing trouble, Pang Jian didn’t hold back, frantically depleting the energy of the Thunder Pond.

Finally, he merged into the intensely fierce waterfall of Thunderbolt and crashed thunderously into the vast Misty Sea.

After slipping back into the Mysterious Fog, he experienced a dizzying whirl, and then the power of the fog transported him to an unknown location.

But his connection with his True Body was immediately restored.

Just as he intended to let his True Body open "Purgatory Gate" to immediately return to the Purgatory World, he suddenly discovered he couldn’t do it—at least not right away.

At this time, the Second Soul in his True Body’s mind was merging with a Filthy Essence.

The attention, consciousness, and soul breath of his True Body were tightly intertwined with the Filthy Alien Power by the Second Soul, leaving the incarnation without techniques and rendering "Purgatory Gate" impossible to open again.

After a moment of hesitation, Pang Jian chose to move in the direction that took him ever further away from his True Body in the Mysterious Fog.
