The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 714 - 676 Death Descends_1

Chapter 714: Chapter 676 Death Descends_1

The Fifth Realm, God War’s catalyst of supernatural abilities, continued to surge unchecked in the void.

Yan Lie sank down, and Lie Yang vanished, but the flames and solar essence dissipating from their bodies still flowed in the skies of this world, sprinkling down like brilliant raindrops.

The war was so fierce, yet not a single warrior from the Alien Tribes dared to show their face among those seven continents and various Fragment Lands.

The battles between Yan Lie and Zhu Ji, Ghost Mother, and Lie Yang, as well as the commotion from the Fragment Land shattered by Pu Zhaotian’s sword, all remained confined within this expanse of void.

The fighting parties tacitly agreed not to spread the battlefield, avoiding any impact on the innocent beings of those lands.

This was because Li Wang had long informed everyone that the foundation of the Fifth Realm must not be shaken.

Not a single one of the existing seven lands could be allowed to break apart.

The seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars that stood tall were painstakingly erected under the charge of the Human True Gods from the Outer Realm.

On one hand, it was to counterbalance the Alien Tribes, depriving them of the chance to ascend and confining them to this realm.

On the other hand, it was also to ensure that the seven continents would not fracture amid the internal strife of the Fifth Realm’s Alien Tribes.

Pu Zhaotian and the others were not clear about why it was critical to ensure the seven continents remained unharmed.

But, since these were the orders of the Gods from beyond, once Li Wang declared it, they chose to follow the will of the older generation of True Gods.

So when Yan Lie gave the command, all those level ten supremes sank down to the Lower Realm, and everyone else simply waited in peace.

No one entered those seven continents to strike at the extremely vulnerable Alien Tribes left behind.

...

The First Realm.

After several True Gods departed, only Liu Fu and a Golden Bee Insect remained in the eastern void.

Once Pang Jian eliminated Yan Lie’s divine art seal and reestablished a connection with the outside world, and the bee insect regained its ability to speak human language, it shared its experiences with Liu Fu.

"Zhu Ji’s path is the power of all kinds under heaven."

The unremarkable-looking Liu Fu, seeing him marvel at Zhu Ji’s exaggerated combat power, seriously said, "In the Eastern Lands, the three major Divine Countries have produced many True Gods over the years. The old generation falls, while a new one takes its place, passing down from one generation to the next."

"Divine Countries, just like True Gods, have also perished in the vast river of history."

"But ever since Zhu Ji’s rise, Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom has always been the strongest nation in the Eastern Lands. Although Jiang Fan cultivates the art of emperors, he is not the reason why Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom stands unshaken."

"It’s Zhu Ji."

"As long as Zhu Ji exists, Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom remains the strongest divine country of the era, as well as the most formidable power institution."

"Apart from when the five Sword Gods were alive, during Sword Tower’s most prosperous stage, none of the Sect powers of other eras can compare to the current Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom."

Liu Fu held Zhu Ji in the highest esteem.

He was a True God of Yuan Qing Divine Nation, the backbone of both the Liu family and the Divine Country, but when speaking of Zhu Ji, there was only admiration, free from any jealousy or dissatisfaction.

While he spoke, Liu Fu’s face suddenly turned grim.

"The Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror" unfolded before his eyes, and the mirror’s world showed a secluded valley filled with willow trees, with several modest wooden towers within.

Suddenly, a vague ghostly shadow appeared like a watery reflection, slipping into one of the wooden towers.

In that tower, crystal bottles were displayed, each containing colorful essence blood.

These essence bloods encompassed beings from the Alien Tribes as well as the majority of demons that emerged from Purgatory.

The levels of the essence blood ranged from one to ten.

The most powerful of the tenth-level Alien Tribes, even tenth-level Demon Gods, had their essence blood collected and placed here.

Essence blood is the most important means for the Human Race to understand the Alien and Demon Races.

Developing special Spirit Spells and Secret Skills to target and restrict the alien and demon bloodlines relies on these essence bloods.

This was Liu Fu’s responsibility all along.

The Heavenly Tribulation Pillars erected in the Fifth Realm, which hindered the display of the Demon Race’s bloodline talents and the past Alien powerhouses’ inability to break through and ascend, were due to the Human Race’s profound understanding of the bloodlines of the Aliens and Demons.

Yet today, an unknown being had located the treasury where the Human Race stored essence blood from the Alien Tribes!

Feeling the impending threat, Liu Fu immediately activated the power of "The Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror", and without hesitation entered within it.

"Pang Jian, inform Li Wang!"

Liu Fu’s tense voice came through "The Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror".

A moment later.

"Crack!"

Right before the eyes of the Golden Bee Insect, Liu Fu’s divine artifact, "The Mysterious Heavenly Divine Mirror", developed countless cracks and shattered.

Within the broken mirror, Pang Jian saw through the eyes of the Golden Bee Insect that Liu Fu’s "Divine Dharma Aspect" also shattered into countless pieces.

Liu Fu’s blood spilled across the secluded valley filled with willow trees.

...

In the Purgatory of the Sixth Realm, amid dense Filth Alien Power, Pang Jian’s face was solemn.

He felt Liu Fu was already dead.

This elder, who had taken good care of him, one of his master’s closest friends, had died so easily.

He did not know who had done it.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

The small objects maintaining the secret passages, capable of directly transporting someone to the Sixth Realm, vanished one by one from the view of the Golden Bee Insect.

Knife, sword, hammer, spear, mirror, flag—each disappeared, and then each reappeared.

Vanishing from the insect’s vision and reappearing in Pang Jian’s awareness.

In the Fifth Realm, the six objects serving as the Array Eyes of the six towns atop the six Heavenly Tribulation Pillars returned one by one to their rightful places.

Including the Universe Box!

"Huff!"

The Copper Box that Pang Jian had been carrying on his back, which he had been commanding, was pulled by a force beyond his control, flying toward the ceiling of the Sixth Realm.

Shortly thereafter, the last Array Eye that had been kept by Pang Jian and was the first to be taken away from Bagua City by Pang Jian, also manifested in the Fifth Realm.

At this moment, the seven steel needle-like reference objects disappeared inside the copper plaque.

Pang Jian also completely lost sensation to the seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars.

"Luo Hongyan!"

Pang Jian, who was in the Sixth Realm, snorted coldly.

...

In the Fifth Realm, the Black Dragon King that was hidden in the darkness first let out a low growl, then said, "Liu Fu died in the ancestral home in Eastland, an unidentified presence invaded, sweeping away the blood essence that included the Alien Tribes and Demon Race... leaving not a trace."

Conveying this message to Pang Jian, the Black Dragon King was somewhat emotional, a bit reluctant.

Yet He knew that things were not good, aware this matter concerned the survival of the entire Purgatory Human Tribe, He spoke up bestly, "In the outer void of the Eastern Lands, those six items that created a foreign land, including the box left by the Realm God, have all... "

"Whoo!"

At this point, Li Wang had already seen a rusty Copper Box flying out from the darkness below.

Heading straight for the Fifth Continent!

"Intercept it!"

"Zhu Ji, Pu Zhaotian!"

"Capture that box!"

Li Wang screamed hysterically.

"Whoo! Whoo hoo! Whoo hoo hoo!"

Tools of all forms—a knife, a sword, a hammer, a spear, a mirror, a flag—surfaced in the middle of the six continents of this world.

Objects that seemed like toys at this moment became enormous, towering over the Heavenly Tribulation Pillars.

Standing proud atop each world’s summit.

Aside from the Copper Box, the other six items had already been nurtured by someone; they instantly appeared in this realm from the First Realm, in the places they were meant to be.

Only the Copper Box, left by the Realm God and always with Pang Jian, had not been nurtured.

Because of this, the Copper Box was being pulled and swept away, unable to instantly emerge in the Fifth Continent.

"Boom!"

Outside the Fifth Continent’s void, the violent ocean-like Filth Alien Power roared, manipulated by Zhu Ji’s divine skill of "force," transforming into huge storm clusters.

Some storms scattered lightning and ice, some stormed with blinding golden light, others surged with darkness, and yet others brought heavy downpours.

Zhu Ji used the primordial powers of this realm, turning them into layers of trap bogs, trying to intercept the last Copper Box returning to its place to prevent the great array composed of the seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars from being perfectly revealed.

But that Copper Box, fiercely making its way through the storm clusters, fearless of the multitude of Alien Powers’ colliding seals.

"Can this object be destroyed?" Pu Zhaotian shouted.

Li Wang yelled, "No! If the object breaks, the land won’t be solid, and it may crack!"

"Then I am out of options."

Pu Zhaotian, who had already been invoking his Sword technique, sulkily sheathed his sword as the stormy Sword Intent within him subsided.

Every slash he made was meant to kill, destroy, split the earth, and sever realms. His sword light did not have the effect of stopping objects suddenly, it would only turn them to ash in an instant.

Since the "Universe Box" could not be shattered, he let it be, his sword light stilled.

Thus, the multitude of True Gods could only watch helplessly as the worn Copper Box, having flown from the Sixth Realm, entered the Fifth Continent like a rainbow light.

Then entered Bagua City.

The seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars that stood majestically in the Fifth Realm, located on the seven continents, finally reemerged with an azure radiance!

That azure radiance spread rapidly outwards from the Heavenly Tribulation Pillars, quickly enveloping each continent, like gigantic goose-egg domes of light.

The seven continents were wrapped in the luminescence emanating from the seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars, isolating the continents from the outer void.

Afterwards, a faint breath of death started to emerge somewhere in the Fifth Realm.

The breath of death started off extremely weak, but spread with a terrifying speed.

Like the "Poison Calamity" brought about by Su Wenrou, it swept over the entire heaven and earth with a boundless stance.

Apart from the seven continents and those places protected by the azure light, no other area was spared from the effect.

The massive Fifth Realm began to be covered by the breath of death, submerged by it completely.

Zhu Ji, who could shake the Filth Alien Power, was utterly helpless against the breath of death mixed within the formidable Alien Power.

His Divine Consciousness Inspiration of divine secret skills, his attempts to mobilize, extricate, and obliterate the breath of death, became contaminated with it.

And was thereby annihilated.

"Flee from the lands engulfed by death!"

"Immediately!"

"Go!"

The Human True Gods shouted in alarm, scattering in all directions.

"Bang!"

Li Yuanli condensed into a streak of light, colliding with the thick and deep Demon Element Sky Curtain like hitting a steel wall, heavily sinking back down.

"Thud!"

Tian Du San Ren shot towards a continent, intercepted by the azure luminescence enveloping that continent, his "Divine Dharma Aspect" suddenly collapsing.

Pu Zhaotian and Yin Ji exchanged glances, then disappeared hand in hand into the Mysterious Fog, vainly attempting to use the fog to evade the frenzied encroachment of the Death Force.

Yet, even within the purportedly void Mysterious Fog, the breath of death began to fill up gradually!

The Mysterious Fog, too, could not hold back the spread of deadly intent.
