The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 706 - 668 Facing the Powerful Alone_1

Chapter 706: Chapter 668 Facing the Powerful Alone_1

Eastern Continent, outer void.

"It worked!"

Tian Du San Ren couldn’t help but exclaim.

Liu Fu, Yin Ji, Jiang Fan, and other True Gods had a strange divine glow flashing in their pupils.

They watched Pang Jian take out the "Universe Box," watched Zhu Ji, Ghost Mother, and Li Wang disappear into it, and also watched Pang Jian carrying the box as he flew upward.

Until he vanished from their sight.

In the corresponding ethereal land of the Sixth Realm, only Qi Xu from the Flame Clan remained; Pang Jian and the three True Gods were nowhere to be seen.

Pang Jian, if not escaping successfully, what else could it be?

"The ancient laws, broken by Pang Jian," said Pu Zhaotian with a smile, looking at the Golden Bee Insect beside him, "They say no one can return after falling beneath the Fifth Realm. Look, here’s a precedent, isn’t there?"

"So-called unbreakable rules, so-called truths, it turns out they can be shattered!"

Pu Zhaotian laughed aloud.

"Now, I take back what I said before." Behind the bead curtain, Jiang Fan’s face revealed a sense of relief, he took a long breath and said, "Their return will naturally benefit our grand scheme."

"Pang Jian, you really came out?" Yin Ji asked in surprise.

The Bee Insect responded, "Hmm, already in the Fifth Realm."

"That’s good, that’s very good," Yin Ji said with a smile on her lips, "With your power, bringing them out of the Fifth Realm should be easy, right?"

"Indeed, it’s not difficult." The Bee Insect paused, then said, "However, I want to stay in the Fifth Realm to try and see if I can resolve our conflict with the Alien Tribes directly."

Pu Zhaotian was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean, you brat?"

"I plan to confront the strongest of the Fifth Realm, and to battle with the Fire God Yan Lie as well," the Bee Insect answered earnestly, "In the Fifth Realm, I feel I can fight Yan Lie. Don’t worry, Shifu, when I want to return, I can reach the Upper Realm in an instant."

"And this, is the true power that a Realm God should have."

After these words were spoken, including Pu Zhaotian, all the True Gods present were somewhat flabbergasted.

Was he planning to take on all the level ten Alien Tribes strongmen living in the Fifth Realm by himself?

And to add the Fire God Yan Lie to the mix?

Had this kid gone mad?!

...

The Fifth Realm.

A spatial rift suddenly appeared, and as the "Ghost Firefly" and "Five Thunders Bombardment" flew out, Pang Jian carried the Universe Box on his back.

For once there was a Soul Spirit inside the box, it couldn’t be placed into the Storage Ring.

With "Ghost Firefly" in his right hand, "Five Thunders Bombardment" in his left, and the two Divine Artifacts in hand, Pang Jian, feeling the connection with the seven continents, observed Yan Lie and several Alien Tribes strongmen from another perspective.

"Qi Xu, trapped by me in the Sixth Realm below, do you all wish to go down and keep her company?"

Pang Jian asked with a smile.

Lie Yang, Shajia, and the others exchanged glances, suddenly at a loss for what to do.

"No point in talking more, battle is the most straightforward," Pang Jian declared, launching "Five Thunders Bombardment" first.

"Boom!"

Sudden thunder erupted as the thick, luminescent column of lightning headed straight for the Fire God Forbidden Land, lifting a sea of blinding electric light in its wake.

Gold Thunder, Wood Thunder, Water Thunder, Fire Thunder, Earth Thunder, each becoming a giant thunderball of different colors, floating in that sea of lightning, stirring up an apocalyptic energy surge.

In the Fifth Realm, omnipresent Filth Alien Power quietly seeped into the sea of lightning.

The destructive, corrosive, bloodthirsty, poisonous, dark forces of the Filth Alien Power, felt by the level ten strongmen and which they relied upon for strength, were actually absorbed by Pang Jian into the multitude of thunderballs.

"Boom!"

Hundreds of thunderballs, like giant hailstones, tumbled from the electric sea now above the Fire God Forbidden Land.

As Lie Yang and the others looked up, a look of terror suddenly washed over each of their faces.

They had never expected Pang Jian, alone in the Fifth Realm, to dare start a battle right away.

And Pang Jian knew very well that Yan Lie was also there!

What shocked and frightened them further was the magnitude of Pang Jian’s first strike, creating such a violent sea of lightning and forming so many thunderballs.

The Old Dragon, who had dominated the Thunder God’s Path in Purgatory for ten thousand years, probably only had this much power, right?

"Rise of Ten Thousand Mountains!"

Aman stood up fiercely, like an ancient colossus standing between heaven and earth.

He tore open his upper clothing, revealing his body as hard as granite, with fierce veins protruding, his blood flowing like rivers.

Centered on him, the volcanoes in the Fire God Forbidden Land transformed into blades piercing the skies.

A thousand feet above the Forbidden Land, volcanoes spewing magma clashed with the many thunderballs falling down, and with the fierce lightning strikes.

The void seemed to collapse, amidst infinite light and heat, mingled with debris, thunderous fire, and electric currents.

It was as if the end of the world had arrived early.

"Mountain Flipping Seal!"

The amber seal was once again thrown by Aman.

The seal suddenly magnified a millionfold, becoming a majestic Divine Mountain with ancient, primitive characters emerging one by one onto the mountain’s body.

The Divine Mountain was massive and profound, forcibly altering the gravitational magnetic field, greatly enhancing the volcanic power soaring into the high skies.

Millions of shattered stones also transformed into a vast Meteorite Sea, engulfing and grinding every thunderball to break Pang Jian’s first move.

However, the power Pang Jian expended in summoning the "Five Thunders Bombardment" was actually minimal.

The immense Alien Power bestowed upon the "Five Thunders Bombardment" originated from this world; it was that dense and omnipresent Filth Alien Power.

Within the Meteorite Sea, thunder was extinguished, and lightning faded, but they could still be reborn!

The lightning from the thunderballs destroyed by the meteorites, after splashing in all directions, would draw upon the power of this world again, assimilating the world’s residual thunder and lightning energy to reform.

Endlessly cycling, eternally indestructible.

Holding the Divine Artifact "Ghost Firefly," Pang Jian needed only to use his God Status to control and direct to pull the "Five Thunders Bombardment" from the Fifth Realm, gathering the elemental essence of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—Five Divine Thunders.

Thus, the thunderballs were reborn, and thus the lightning arose anew.

"Crack! Boom!"

Within the violent roaring, the volcano stimulated by Aman collapsed, countless pieces of shattered rock gradually turned to dust.

The volcano could not reappear; the powdered debris could no longer coalesce.

Amidst the thunderclaps and rolling Divine Thunder, a thick and luminescent column of lightning struck down, hitting Aman—capable of shouldering mountains—squarely on his shoulders.

After splitting mountains and shattering stones, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains, Aman, shook from the impact and then sat down heavily.

After one strike of the "Five Thunders Bombardment," it flew back to that enduring sea of thunderballs and lightning, amassing power once more, and then crashed down towards Aman again.

This time, the "Five Thunders Bombardment" aimed for the head of Aman.

Along with the descending "Five Thunders Bombardment," hundreds of thunderballs and thick bolts of lightning also plummeted.

Realizing danger, Shajia spread her wings and took flight!

"Curtain of Light!"

Above Aman’s head in the void, a blinding curtain of light suddenly appeared, marked with intricate patterns of light, like a myriad of brilliant Divine Flowers unfurling.

A sacred, great, and invincible will ripple within the curtain, implying its supreme authority.

The luminous column of the "Five Thunders Bombardment" just hit the light curtain and was intercepted by the grand Divine Power within, then permeated by thousands of dazzling divine radiance into its core.

The Curtain of Light rolled up like a carpet, seemingly rolling up a piece of the sky.

The Divine Artifact "Five Thunders Bombardment," along with the many Divine Thunders that fell with it, including the sea of interwoven thunder and lightning, were all rolled up in the Curtain of Light, swept into a domain of light.

And Pang Jian suddenly could no longer feel the presence of the "Five Thunders Bombardment," unable to call upon the Filth Alien Power to regenerate the thunderballs.

"Heaven Clan, Shajia."

A regal Alien Tribeswoman with ten pairs of pristine white wings, fluttered atop the ascending "Curtain of Light," holding a silver spear. Bending slightly in a courteous gesture, she then said, "Please instruct me."

Shajia offered Pang Jian the utmost respect!

Her gaze was solemn and complex.

Through the unleashing of "Five Thunders Bombardment" on the Fire God Forbidden Land, she had seen through everything!

Just like her, like Aman, like Lie Yang, this scion of the Human Race before her had also sucked in a stream of Filth Alien Power that rightfully belonged to them, ascending to the same God Spirit ranks as they!

The young man of the Yao Clan hidden within the Mysterious Fog was none other than Pang Jian at this moment!

Through the strike of the "Five Thunders Bombardment," through the response of the Filth Alien Power, Shajia had discerned the truth and knew that Pang Jian had become the most unique existence within the Purgatory World.

A being of the Human Race with the God Status, truly a novel God Spirit.

For such pioneering figures, regardless of their age, Shajia harbored respect.

"God Status achieved, it is indeed astonishing."

Fire God Yan Lie has arrived.

He hovered in the nearby void, not in a rush to return to the Fire God Forbidden Land, but narrowed his eyes to observe Pang Jian’s situation.

Yan Lie remarked, "Only today have I understood how far-sighted and wise the Sovereign’s high regard for you was."

The "Sovereign" he mentioned could only be one person, naturally, Luo Hongyan.

Before Luo Hongyan’s humanity was extinguished, she had more than once told him that Pang Jian would become the main pillar of the Human Race, a figure who would decide the future of Purgatory.

To this, Yan Lie outwardly agreed, but inwardly doubted.

He thought it was Luo Hongyan’s human side still clinging to past affections that held Pang Jian in higher esteem.

Subsequent twists and turns gradually proved the Sovereign’s judgment of Pang Jian to be entirely accurate.

Like a comet, with unstoppable momentum, Pang Jian swiftly rose within this world.

He became a True God in the Immortal Realm, stepped out of Purgatory time and again, dominated the Mysterious Fog, and even killed the Dark Bat and Water God Naga.

And now, it was Pang Jian, whom the Sovereign valued, who had elevated to the ranks of God Spirit with a stream of Filth Alien Power.

How exactly did he do that?

Yan Lie couldn’t comprehend, but his regard for Pang Jian had reached the utmost.

"Shajia, be cautious on your own; this young man is extraordinary. Don’t let him seriously harm you," Yan Lie warned.

"Mm."

Shajia nodded.

With a delicate tap of her foot on the "Curtain of Light," the "Five Thunders Bombardment" encapsulated within the "fabric" became like a weapon in her hands.
