Chapter 701: Chapter 663: Exploring the Rules of Entry and Exit_1

A rift tearing through space appeared simultaneously in both regions and vanished just as quickly.

At the peak of Thunder God Mountain, Lei Ying’s face was filled with shock.

Li Yuqing and the Black Dragon King, within the Purgatory Mysterious Fog, saw her and the "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree" at that moment, she also saw Li Yuqing and the Black Dragon King.

And then there was the other Pang Jian slowly walking toward the space rift.

As the space rift healed, she fixed her gaze deeply on the Pang Jian in front of her, whose Primordial Spirit had released the Thunder Pond, allowing the Thunder Pond to draw thunder and lightning from this place.

"The person just now, he looked exactly like you," Lei Ying ventured.

"That was my real body, which is now in the Purgatory World," Pang Jian said casually.

"Real body..."

Lei Ying took a deep breath, suddenly filled with numerous questions in her mind.

She had gone behind Lei Fan’s back and explained the situation of the three Great Demons to Pang Jian, hoping for his help, because in the previous fight, she felt Pang Jian had strength to spare.

Without the Thunder Pond or the Five Thunders Bombardment at hand, she also believed Pang Jian could defeat both her and Lei Fan.

When the unicorn, Vermilion Bird, and that giant serpent chose to submit to He Motian, the situation for her, Lei Fan, and the entire Thunder Clan was set to worsen.

Truly cornered and unwilling to simply sink into oblivion, she had pleaded with Pang Jian for help.

She knew Pang Jian was not simple, perhaps capable of single-handedly slaying a Great Demon. Otherwise, an Outer World Demon God like He Motian wouldn’t have taken such care.

But she still hadn’t imagined Pang Jian to be complicated to this extent!

Pang Jian not only possessed the power to traverse the Boundary Wall of the "Prison" worlds, but he could also connect two "Prison" worlds with a single space rift!

Thunder Prison and Purgatory seemed to be connected through that space rift!

And in Purgatory, there was also Pang Jian’s true body!

He Motian’s trap for Pang Jian, the cooperation of the three Great Demons of Thunder Prison, in the face of a Pang Jian who could tear open a space rift and escape at any time, was it not a huge joke?

Lei Ying suddenly felt that if Pang Jian was willing to help them, those three Great Demons might truly be nothing to fear.

Afterward, another thought sprung to mind, making Lei Ying’s heartbeat quicken.

Could she, and Lei Fan, use such a space rift to escape Thunder Prison and head to Purgatory?

Or perhaps, enter the Outer Star River directly without enduring the torment of Heaven’s Forbidden in Thunder Prison?

"Crackle!"

The healed and vanished space rift appeared once more!

The other end of the rift, far from Pang Jian’s true body, did not approach again proactively.

"Thunder Prison, Thunder God Mountain, Alien Tribes."

The plaited-haired, exceedingly beautiful Human Race girl appeared in Lei Ying’s vision again.

With her bright eyes full of wonder, she asked, "Pang Jian, could it be that your real body can’t traverse the space rift because of a Filthy Essence from the Fifth Realm? What about me? Can I try it?"

"The reappearance of the space rift is for you to try," Pang Jian spoke from his true body in Purgatory.

He pondered and then said, "I want to understand the rules of passage in Purgatory. In the Mysterious Fog area of the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, there are several special places that can enter the Outer Realm of the Alien Tribes."

"In the past, Purgatory’s Bloodline restriction for Alien Tribes was strictly fifth level, later it seemed to gradually increase to the eighth level."

"Dong Tianze hunts and strengthens himself by killing the powerful Alien Tribes that come from the Outer Realm amidst the Mysterious Fog of the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land."

"The once per hundred thousand years catastrophe has arrived, and it seems the ’Prison’ worlds are gradually lifting restrictions, slowly permitting those with higher Bloodline levels to step foot in Purgatory."

Pang Jian from within the Fifth Realm Mysterious Fog continued, "My Purgatory Gate, this space rift that I have opened, must also be subject to the inherent rules. I speculate..."

He established a soul connection with the Bee King.

"Those six special Boundary Wall points that have recently seen an influx of Alien Tribes, what is the limit of their Bloodline levels?"

"Eh!"

He suddenly saw Wu Yuan also in the Mysterious Fog, together with Dong Tianze, attacking a group of Ghost Clan and Demon Clan warriors.

Wu Yuan, shrouded in Demon Light, drifted through the Mysterious Fog, passing through the Alien Tribe warriors.

The Demon Clan warriors, who were driven by He Motian to delve deep into the Mysterious Fog, hoping to utilize those six special Boundary Wall points to clarify the current situation in Purgatory, burst into death one after another as Wu Yuan swept past them.

Even from the perspective of a Bee Insect, Pang Jian could not discern how Wu Yuan was killing people.

"When he appeared in the Mysterious Fog, and I couldn’t communicate with you, I brought him over with a Bee Insect," the Bee King briefly explained, "He has become a True God."

Pang Jian was greatly astonished and asked, "Is he still himself?"

The Bee King responded, "As of now, he is still himself."

Pang Jian let out a sigh of relief and after observing for a while through the perspective of a Bee Insect, he figured out the answer, "So Alien Tribes allowed entry now have Bloodline levels up to nine?"

Two Ghost Clan warriors managed to resist Dong Tianze’s Bloodthirsty Blade for a while.

An eighth-level Ghost Clan warrior absolutely couldn’t have such strength and would only be killed with a single strike by Dong Tianze.

Knowing Wu Yuan had become one of the True Gods, Dong Tianze was obviously stimulated. Hunting the strongest Ghost Clan warriors with his sword, he too was accumulating more Blood Essence.

Those who could resist his strikes had to be ninth level.

"Hmm, the special boundary points in this area have opened up another level to the bloodlines of the Alien Tribes from outside," said the Bee King.

"Keep an eye on Wu Yuan for me, pay attention to his situation. Once I’ve dealt with things on my end, I’ll come over personally," Pang Jian instructed secretly.

"Without the arrival of an Outer World Demon God, Wu Yuan should be all right for now," the Bee King pondered and then added, "His coming to the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land seems to be at your Shifu’s behest."

"Oh, that’s somewhat better if Shifu is aware of the matter."

After a secret exchange with the Bee King, Pang Jian told Li Yuqing, "The rules of Purgatory have changed. Since ninth-level beings of the Alien Tribes can enter, you at the Immortal Realm should also be able to leave."

Li Yuqing’s beautiful eyes shone with eagerness as she said, "You mean, although you can’t traverse it, I might be able to?"

She was not yet a True God and had never set foot in Purgatory World, and she was full of curiosity about other worlds beyond Purgatory.

The site with the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree, the endless flashes of lightning, and the place known as the Thunder Prison held a strong allure for her.

Experiencing different customs and cultures in a world that was not Purgatory might even help her level advance.

"I suspect you can, but since it hasn’t been tried, I also..."

Pang Jian replied like this.

"Swoosh!"

Before he had finished speaking, the bold and fearless Li Yuqing, wrapped in a sword light, plunged into the spatial rift that connected to Thunder God Mountain.

The next moment, she truly appeared at Thunder God Mountain!

Beyond Pang Jian, she became the second person who had not ascended to True God but had managed to depart via the "Purgatory Gate" and directly reach another "prison" world!

This also confirmed the conjecture in Pang Jian’s heart!

If ninth-level bloodline bearers of the Alien Tribes could infiltrate deep within using special boundary points, then a Great Cultivator of the Human Race in the Immortal Realm could leave using the "Purgatory Gate" he controlled.

The world was changing, the once-in-a-hundred-thousand-year cataclysm subtly altering the inherent laws of nature and earth!

If now the special boundary points and his "Purgatory Gate" allowed ninth-level Alien Tribes and beings at the Immortal Realm to start entering and exiting Purgatory, what next?

Could the tenth-level Alien Tribes, already able to be considered God Spirits, enable Low-rank Gods to flood in?

At this thought, Pang Jian’s scalp tingled.

Above the Mysterious Fog, how many Low-rank Gods currently exist in that Star River?

If they could all surge into Purgatory, how were they to contend with the current number of Human True Gods?

"Whoosh!"

While Pang Jian’s thoughts roiled, the split spatial rift sealed up in an instant.

Within the Mysterious Fog, at the location of that spatial rift, stood the Black Dragon King, his face full of disappointment.

At Thunder God Mountain, where the spatial rift had appeared, stood Lei Ying.

Seeing that Li Yuqing had successfully passed through, Lei Ying, who had never left Thunder Prison, did not even inform Pang Jian. She also wanted to dash into the spatial rift.

The Black Dragon King harbored the same thought.

A Demon God and a pinnacle member of the Thunder Clan, in different "prison" worlds, made the same decision.

However, neither of them succeeded in passing through like Li Yuqing did.

"If I can’t do it, neither can you," Pang Jian, in his true form, said with a smile to the Black Dragon King. "That Filthy Essence I carry, you have it too."

His Primordial Spirit on the other end said, "The rules of our Purgatory have recently undergone substantial changes. I don’t know what the current situation in your Thunder Prison is like, but I’m afraid you, at level ten, might find it difficult to leave using my ’gate.’"

"What about level nine, eight, seven?" Lei Ying asked eagerly.

"We’ll only know after trying it out someday," Pang Jian replied, turning his attention to Li Yuqing by the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree. "This place is the Star River of heaven, the early enlightenment site of the first Thunder God."

"Mmm, then you should call your sister here," Li Yuqing said with a smile.

Pang Jian’s spirit shook, and he exclaimed, "Indeed! This place couldn’t be more suitable for that girl. I’ll arrange it right away!"

...

Eastland, outside space.

Enshrouded within the barriers of six objects—a sword, a saber, a hammer, a spear, a mirror, and a flag—the tiny Li Wang, Ghost Mother, and Zhu Ji dimmed in their divine radiance.

Trapped within the Sixth Realm, constantly suffering the invasion of Filth Alien Power, they couldn’t break free from the barrier above their heads.

Once they exhaust their internal power, what awaits them is death.

"Pang Jian has not shown up again at the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar. I don’t know if your girl has found him, whether she has informed him of the difficulties we’re facing," the Tian Du San Ren sighed.

"Do you really think by finding Pang Jian, you could take them out?" said Jiang Fan with a heavy voice.

"Got any better ideas?" retorted the Tian Du San Ren with displeasure.

"Stop wasting efforts; they can’t come back. Prepare for their looming downfall," said Jiang Fan, his face hidden behind the imperial crown’s bead curtain, devoid of any expression.

He had given up first, saying, "Gentlemen, instead of futilely seeking an impossible miracle, we should consider which of the existing Immortal Realm cultivators are qualified to strike for True God."

Just then, a Golden Bee Insect suddenly flew up from the Second Realm into this void.
