The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 713 - 675: Fall!_1

Chapter 713: Chapter 675: Fall!_1

Purgatory, the Sixth Realm.

Deep within Pang Jian’s Sea of Consciousness, nine glittering flames shimmered, flashing beside his God Status.

There were a total of thirty-six shimmers, scattered throughout his dantian, muscles, viscera, Sea of Consciousness, and flesh.

But solely in the realm of his Sea of Consciousness, there appeared as many as nine.

It was the existence of these nine shimmers that severed his connection with the Bee King, Mysterious Turtle, Pang Ling, and Hei.

He found it even more difficult to connect with the Immortal Primordial Spirit far away in the Thunder Prison.

In fact, had his God Status not been established, he would have lost all five senses and even the ability to control his limbs.

"Nine flame anomalies that resemble the Flame Realm."

In the empty and vast Sea of Consciousness, Pang Jian whispered softly.

With his Divine Consciousness, he had attempted to erase those nine shimmers using thunderbolt, Cold Ice, and the brilliance of the sun, moon, and stars.

All attempts had failed.

Upon contact with those nine flame shimmers, the power from his body was ignited and turned into ash.

In those Thunderous Lightnings, he had also mixed in the Great Tao Truth that he had comprehended from the Thunder God, along with the obsessive will of the Thunder God who swore to annihilate the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan God Spirits.

Yet, the lightning secrets from the Thunder God were still unable to break through Yan Lie’s terrifying Divine Skill.

"Could it be because these are not Taos I’ve comprehended myself? If the Thunder God Tao doesn’t work, could the Demon Tao Spell work?"

"Original Demon Fusion Spell!"

Within a Fragment Land of the dantian, an endless expanse of blood-red clouds emerged, and a giant Lava Furnace slowly turned.

The intensely hot lava, assuming the form of a furnace, exuded a grandeur capable of melting all things in the world.

All beings, stars, and everything in the universe could be melted by such a furnace, all transforming into a power Pang Jian needed.

"Original Demon Fusion Spell" is the most supreme holy book of the Demon Tao, created by the Original Demon who integrated the wisdom of many Demon Gods and Great Demon Gods and combined the strengths of a myriad of demons into this Secret Skill of the Demon Tao.

Pang Jian, wielding this method, was nearly invincible.

"Boom! Boom!"

The Fragment Land thundered non-stop, the peculiar furnace boiled and burned, and bundles of crimson lightning chaotically coursed above it, symbolizing the essence of the fire mystery.

A vividly lifelike Flame Dragon encircled the furnace, appearing to rear its head and roar.

The aura of an ancient Demon Emperor Dragon’s brilliance, inherited in the "Original Demon Fusion Spell," took shape within this Fragment Land.

"Whoo! Whoo whoo!"

Above the Fragment Land, within the dark and turquoise Demon Cloud Sky Curtain, Demon Element Power cascaded like a waterfall.

The waterfall, like kindling, fed into the seething Lava Furnace, causing the multiple crimson lightnings to continue splashing outward.

"Original Demon Fusion Spell" hence broke away from the Fragment Land.

As if propelled by many ancient Demon Gods and the Flame Dragon known as Dragon’s brilliance, it meandered throughout Pang Jian’s dantian.

A single flame shimmer became its initial target, fiercely sucked in.

"Puff!"

An entire world seemed to be refined and obliterated within the fiery furnace.

Pang Jian immediately felt a sense of relief, his eyes suddenly brightening.

"The Demon Tao Spell is effective after all!"

He had found the key to countering Yan Lie’s Divine Skill. Focusing his spirit, he maneuvered the "Original Demon Fusion Spell" to locate and extinguish each flame shimmer scattered within his body.

Following the first flame shimmer, the remaining ones were eradicated at an extremely rapid pace.

With each flame shimmer’s disappearance, refined and wiped out by the "Original Demon Fusion Spell," a substantial amount of knowledge about fire essence related to this Divine Skill flowed into the heated Fragment Land in the form of streams of enlightenment.

A portion of the High God Yan Lie’s Tao was deciphered by the "Original Demon Fusion Spell" and became traces of the Dao Marks that Pang Jian could comprehend.

Some time passed.

Pang Jian, present in the Sixth Realm, reestablished soul sensing connection with the outside world. Through the viewpoint of the Black Dragon King Hei, he saw that above him in the Fifth Realm, gods had gathered at this moment!

"Such a formidable Zhu Ji!"

Zhu Ji, who had not yet conjured his "Divine Dharma Aspect," stood aloft above Yan Lie’s domain at the apex of the Fire Realm, manipulating the Filth Alien Power of the entire Fifth Realm to invade the domain of fire.

The Alien God Spirit Yan Lie was actually being suppressed by Zhu Ji, unable to free himself to deal with others.

Shifu Pu Zhaotian, Yin Ji, Jiang Fan, and others were scattered across the void of the Fifth Realm, encircling Aman, Jingsha, and Shajia, casting wary glances frequently downward.

Hei had also finally broken free from the encirclement of those flaming meteors.

"Whoosh!"

Qi Xu suddenly came flying in.

This tall and sexy warrior from the Alien Tribes, known for her fiery temperament, immediately showed disillusionment upon arrival, her inner flames of excitement instantly extinguished.

She had finally arrived, but she couldn’t sense Yan Lie at all.

Pang Jian’s gaze was clear, with a somewhat mocking smile as he watched her, show no sign of being controlled in any way.

"Are you in a hurry?" Pang Jian asked with a smile.

In Qi Xu’s mind, near his ethereal soul, there was still a soul ban he had placed.

He left Qi Xu in the Sixth Realm because he wanted to locate the Original Demon and Luo Hongyan through him, to see if those two beings, who were greatly feared by his shifu Pu Zhaotian and the others, might also be lurking there.

Before Yan Lie sealed his soul perception with his god-like skills, Qi Xu had always been his eye in the Sixth Realm.

Now that the ban was lifted, Qi Xu was his eye once more.

"I felt you had descended again, and I was a bit curious, so I came to take a look," Qi Xu forced a smile.

Even the divine ban established by none other than Sir Yan Lie could be lifted by Pang Jian, which deepened her fears. Any expectations or illusions she once held for Pang Jian had long shattered.

Now, she felt only fear toward Pang Jian and wished to stay as far away from him as possible.

"Since you’re so curious, why not help me explore the Seventh Realm?" Pang Jian said earnestly.

Qi Xu’s expression turned to one of alarm. "No! I’m not curious about the Seventh Realm!"

"It’s enough that I am."

Upon these words, a stream encircling Qi Xu’s ethereal soul immediately dispersed a force that tampered with thought and will, causing Qi Xu to involuntarily sink downward.

Luo Hongyan and the Original Demon had yet to appear in the Sixth Realm.

Shifu and the others were worried, and he too was uneasy, wanting to know where the two of them were hiding.

If they were not in the Sixth Realm, there was a high chance they were in the Seventh Realm. Thus, he used Qi Xu as his eyes, wanting to truly understand the Seventh Realm, to see if those two were there.

In that moment.

In the Fifth Realm, Yan Lie suddenly let out a loud shout.

His divine voice rang in the ears of Lie Yang, Shajia, Jingsha, and Aman, conveying a decree.

A look of utter disbelief crossed the single eye of Aman, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains, as he stared vacantly in the direction of the voice.

Below the Fire Divine Realm, Yan Lie nodded gravely and said, "Fall!"

With this command, Lie Yang was the first to respond; his body, wrapped in the "Hunyuan Big Sun Chart," plunged downwards first.

The leader of the Yao Clan, having received the "Sun God Canon" from Yan Lie, was almost entirely bound to his will.

Following him, without hesitation, Aman shouldered Shajia and descended into the darkness below.

Then came Jingsha.

Only after all the Level Ten powerhouses had entered the Sixth Realm did Yan Lie draw back His Divine Domain, giving Zhu Ji a deep look, He too condensed into a Fire Stream and fell.

In the blink of an eye, all those peak Alien Tribes warriors, including Yan Lie, vanished from the Fifth Realm.

This left the True Gods who had descended into the realm at a loss.

With no adversaries left, Zhu Ji stood aghast in the void, his body wrapped in the dense Filth Alien Power with no target to exhaust it on.

He looked towards the Ghost Mother, perplexed.

Maintaining the "Divine Dharma Aspect" form, with the "Reincarnation Pool" manifesting behind her in the void, the Ghost Mother pondered for a moment and then said, "We must wait for Li Wang to clear up the confusion."

She too couldn’t fathom Yan Lie’s intentions.

"It’s easy to explain. After Yan Lie’s power was restrained, the rest were no match for us," Tian Du San Ren said with a relaxed smile, enlightening everyone. "That Sovereign, and the legendary Original Demon, also failed to show. Yan Lie knew that with their strength, they couldn’t contend with us, so he made the decision to retreat."

"We’ve all descended to the Fifth Realm. Where else could they retreat to? It must be the Sixth Realm."

The more he spoke, the more convinced he became of this truth. "Pang Jian being able to leave the Sixth Realm has given them hope, showing that the world below is not truly a dead-end path."

"Pang Jian is still in the Sixth Realm!" Pu Zhaotian exclaimed sharply.

"Did they suddenly go down to kill Pang Jian?" Yin Ji also became worried.

An unfamiliar voice, emerging from a dense patch of darkness, said, "He’s alright."

The Black Dragon King had not shown himself; he simply spoke from within the darkness. "He has broken free from Yan Lie’s restrictions; he is free in the Sixth Realm. The Sixth Realm is vast. Those falling Alien Tribes and that Fire God may not be able to come together quickly to find him."

"Whoosh!"

A streak of starlight fell from the sky.

Li Wang, who had gathered some of his strength back in the Third Realm, returned. Upon arrival, he immediately discerned what had happened. Seeing Zhu Ji unharmed, he began with a smile, "With you here, I knew that Yan Lie wouldn’t necessarily come out on top."

Zhu Ji nodded, but did not utter a word.

"Yan Lie must have discovered something, to take Shajia and the others down into the Sixth Realm with him," Li Wang frowned and said. "If they can’t come out of the Sixth Realm, then this catastrophe... is nearly over."

"I suggest we hold tight in the Fifth Realm for a while to see what unfolds next."

After some thought, Li Wang looked towards the darkness. "Can you still communicate with Pang Jian?"

"Hmm," Black Dragon King affirmed.

"Tell Pang Jian to be cautious. Don’t confront them directly in the Lower Realm. And ask him to keep an eye out, to clarify the true cause," Li Wang urged, his mood not yet relaxed. "This matter is far from as simple as we think. I have a feeling something we don’t understand has happened."

Pu Zhaotian, however, said, "Black Dragon, tell Pang Jian to try his best to leave the Sixth Realm and return to our world! It’s too dangerous for him to be alone down there; he must avoid contact with Yan Lie and the others at all costs!"

Unlike Li Wang, he placed greater emphasis on Pang Jian’s safety, preferring that Pang Jian not uncover the truth if it meant preserving himself.

"While ensuring his own safety, let’s see what Yan Lie and the others are up to," Li Wang said with a cough.
