The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 700 - 662: Becoming a God_1

Chapter 700: Chapter 662: Becoming a God_1

In Pang Jian’s Sea of Consciousness, a brand new Divine Attribute was being forged.

Unlike the colorful and dazzling Primordial Spirit, the newly formed Divine Attribute was emerald green like jade, existing in the form of a hexagonal crystal.

It was solid, cold, and hard, sparkling with clarity, with the Origin of Gods flowing inside it.

All that he had comprehended on his own, as well as the Secret Skill marks related to the Spiritual Soul obtained from Youkui, were all engraved within the Divine Attribute.

The Divine Attribute, as the crystallization of the soul, inherently possessed no variety of powers, which was a major difference from the Primordial Spirit.

When his Primordial Spirit first condensed, powers like Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Cold Ice, Thunder and Lightning, and the many Alien Powers from the sun, moon, and stars actively converged, giving it everything that his True Body possessed.

For this reason, his Primordial Spirit could leave the flesh and blood body and soar alone through the Outer Domain Galaxy.

The Divine Attribute, forged with the Filthy Essence and the power of the Second Soul, was evidently different from the Primordial Spirit.

The Divine Attribute could rally the entire body’s power and communicate with the seven pieces of Fragment Land in the dantian, utilizing the Power of Stars from the sun and moon.

But the Divine Attribute itself only held deep secrets pertaining to the soul.

If the Divine Attribute were to leave the body and fly out of the Spirit Sea of Consciousness, it likely wouldn’t be as agile and vibrant as the Primordial Spirit, nor could it independently absorb different Starry Space Supernatural Abilities.

Only within the body, commanding all bodily power through the Divine Attribute, could it exhibit exquisite effectiveness.

"Strange..."

Pang Jian’s brows furrowed.

When his Primordial Spirit emerged, many imprinted knowledges were revived, allowing him to understand the wonders of the Primordial Spirit.

However, during the process of creating the Divine Attribute, there was no knowledge whatsoever about the Divine Attribute or the powers of his current realm.

Could it be that the secrets of the Divine Attribute are known to all deities and need no additional elaboration?

"As a member of the Human Race , concocting the Filthy Essence of the Fifth Realm into a God Spirit, it really can be done."

Li Yuqing scrutinized Pang Jian closely, sensing the aura he emitted and said, "But why do I feel it seems rather ordinary? Pang Jian, do you feel anything amiss?"

"Not really anything amiss."

Pang Jian moved his limbs, trying to utilize the power of the seven pieces of Filthy Fragment Land. The dense Alien Power instantly spread throughout his body.

With a thought of his mind, a dark and profound world spread out from him as the center.

This world was mixed with the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars and was pulsing with aggression, destruction, and the breath of annihilating everything.

As the will of Pang Jian’s Divine Attribute drove it, forces of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth began to form in this realm, along with lightning storms and freezing hail.

It was not a galaxy, but a complex and ever-changing world.

In this world, Pang Jian’s Divine Power thoughts could cover everything, all-knowing.

With just a single thought from him, the infinite powers of this world could surge into Li Yuqing’s body, overwhelm her Spirit Sea of Consciousness, strangle the vitality within her, and erase all traces of her existence.

Li Yuqing’s breath, movements, the power within her dantian, including the Sky-splitting Sword, were all within Pang Jian’s comprehensive scope.

This world was what’s referred to as God’s Domain.

With the Divine Attribute complete, his very own God’s Domain naturally emerged.

Within his God’s Domain, he was the only divine being.

When Alien God Spirits battle, they would spread out their God’s Domain to collide Divine Power and laws.

Now, he too had a God’s Domain and had touched upon the new path of the God Spirits.

"What is this?" Li Yuqing asked in surprise.

"God’s Domain." Pang Jian explained with a smile.

Sensing the profound mystery of this realm, Li Yuqing said, "It seems much more subtle than that Flame Clan powerhouse’s so-called Flame Realm."

"If she could break out of Purgatory and emerge in the outside world, she would barely qualify as a Low-rank God. But in terms of Alien God Spirits, I am above her, a Middle-level God," Pang Jian said with a lifted brow.

"Ah!" Li Yuqing exclaimed in astonishment.

"I’ll deal with that supreme Flame Clan being first," declared the Black Dragon King, bowing his head and reaching into Darkness to bring forth Qi Xu.

The "Flame Realm" vanished, and Qi Xu, her tall figure now bound by the sticky ’ink’, looked dully at Pang Jian with a withered expression.

She floated atop the endless Darkness, her once fiery eyes now devoid of spirit.

In the boundlessness of the Darkness, she was enduring the infiltration of dark Alien Power and being tortured by the Black Dragon King’s Bloodline, her power barely maintaining her life force from extinction.

First, Li Yuqing had gravely wounded her mind and body with the Sword of Destiny, and then she was captured and poisoned by the Black Dragon King.

After seeing the light of day once more, she did not react immediately, still remaining blank.

"If she dies, the Filthy Essence fused into her body should return to the Darkness below," the Black Dragon King raised his hand and clenched his fist.

Millions of dark threads wrapped around His fist, exuding a violent aura capable of destroying all things.

Gradually, His clenched fist transformed into a pitch-black Fierce Sun wildly dissipating Darkness.

Qi Xu closed her eyes, knowing that there was no escaping this punch, certain of her inevitable death.

"Wait a moment."

Pang Jian uttered, halting the action.

"Whoosh!"

A narrow and luminous spatial rift tore open in the Mysterious Fog behind Pang Jian, and immediately a box came hurtling through.

After the box opened, Pang Jian casually grabbed Qi Xu and threw him into it.

"The Original Demon was once thrown in the same way by me, but in the end, he escaped."

"I want to see if the problem lies with the box or with the Original Demon himself."

After offering this explanation, Pang Jian’s mind shifted as he spoke to Li Yuqing, "Wait for me, I am summoning a Bee Insect to go to that outer void beyond Eastland."

"What are you trying to do?" Li Yuqing asked, puzzled.

"I want to see first if there is any issue with the Universe Box, then I want to use Qi Xu to try and glimpse the Darkness beneath the Fifth Realm," Pang Jian said.

"Purgatory indeed has a Sixth Realm, and even a Seventh Realm," the Black Dragon King suddenly said.

"There’s a Seventh Realm too?" Li Yuqing exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm, that’s the limit of what I know. As for whether there are an Eighth or Ninth Realm below the Seventh, that’s beyond my capacity to measure," said the Black Dragon King, who had reclaimed his lost memories and revealed the situation within. "The Filthy Essence that can create the strongest beings among the Alien Tribes and allow you and me to achieve promotion certainly doesn’t come from the Sixth Realm."

"In the Sixth Realm, darkness and even more concentrated Filth Alien Power mingle, void of land or living beings."

"The Seventh Realm doesn’t even have Filth Alien Power, only pure darkness."

"Darkness, desolation, void, and cold are the eternally unchanging themes of the Seventh Realm. There thrives even less vitality, Divine Consciousness struggles to spread, and beings that enter will go mad," he continued.

The Black Dragon King’s expression grew heavy when speaking of the two realms below Purgatory.

Li Yuqing was incredibly shocked; she had not expected that the resurrected Black Dragon King would know so much about the two realms beneath Purgatory.

Her father, Li Yuanli, along with the other True Gods of the Human Race, knew nothing about the darkness below the Fifth Realm of Purgatory.

"The Human Race doesn’t know, because they have never truly taken root in the Fifth Realm. The Human Race’s eternal quest is to escape Purgatory above, through Heaven Forbidden, naturally, they wouldn’t explore the darkness below," said the Black Dragon King with complex Demon Pupils. "Even the strongest beings from other races in the Fifth Realm, other Demon Gods, find it difficult to explore the two realms below."

"Only I can," he said.

He pointed to his chest, his countenance stern as he continued, "Those who ascend to Demon Godhood through the darkness have a way to perceive that darkness at specific times through certain methods."

"Throughout the entire history of Purgatory, there have only been three beings who have ascended to the highest via this path."

"I am one of them, and the last," he announced.

"Even I have never dared to truly delve into that darkness, never dared to sink into the Sixth or Seventh Realm. I only perceived it from afar and no longer wished to venture into the worlds below," he conveyed, exhaustion evident in his eyes. "Humans have it better. Since they can enter the Outer Domain Galaxy without much effort following Divine Enthronement, why should they exhaust themselves with the worlds below?"

"Alas," he sighed deeply before adding, "Those who are promoted to Demon Gods by absorbing the Filthy Essence into their Demon Heart can never break through the heavens. This world shows malice toward Demon Gods like us."

He clearly knew the truth.

The "Heaven Forbidden" at the Dome of Purgatory only opens for True Gods and Demon Gods carrying Fate.

For Demon Gods like him, just as for Alien Tribes’ mightiest like Lie Yang, who achieved their heights with Filth Alien Power, their escape will never be "Heaven Forbidden."

It seems, then, they could only pass through the darkness below.

Yet to this day, no one has proven this path to be viable.

"Huff!"

Pang Jian’s True Body first pulled back the spread-out Divine Realm, then howled within the Mysterious Fog.

He headed straight for the Boundary Wall!

"Bang!"

With the body containing the "Purgatory Gate," he slammed heavily into the Boundary Wall, bouncing back violently.

He felt the presence of an invisible barrier.

And this time, the "Purgatory Gate" didn’t work as it should have; it didn’t allow him to pass through instantly to reach the boundless Misty Sea.

His expression suddenly grew dark.

The only difference between him now and before was engaging with the Filthy Essence, ascending in a manner similar to the Alien Tribes.

And this seemed to have directly caused the "Purgatory Gate" to fail.

"Crackle!"

Communicating with his Primordial Spirit, he quickly established a connection and activated the "Purgatory Gate’s" Alien Power, revealing another narrow space rift.

Within that rift, the Black Dragon King and Li Yuqing saw countless bolts of lightning dancing like dragons and snakes, they saw a giant "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree" bearing "Tao Fruit," and they saw an Alien Tribe woman with a look of shock on her face.

There was also another Pang Jian, with a Thunder Pond floating before him.

As Pang Jian’s True Body approached this tearing spatial rift, the stable rift suddenly twisted.

Myriad streams of light flickered within the rift, the other Pang Jian suddenly vanished, the "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree," and the Alien Tribe woman also disappeared abruptly.

By the time Pang Jian really got close, the space rift also closed up tightly.

The Boundary Wall that he previously could traverse with the "Purgatory Gate," the torn space rift, started to reject his True Body, not allowing him to easily step out of Purgatory.

And this seemed to be one of the immutable universal laws within Purgatory.

The Purgatory Gate was unable to override this law.
