Chapter 729: Chapter 691 Silver Bee Insect_1

Within the Nether Tribe, there were different voices, different factions.

Not all members of the Nether Tribe agreed with forming an alliance with the Human Race. Some Nether Race Warriors considered humans to be enemies as well.

Before Pang Jian could leave the Thunder Prison, the Netherworld God that was on good terms with the Bronze-faced God and intended to communicate with the Outer Star River Human True God had already died.

So, who then was waiting for him below the Thunder Prison, possessing the body of Fan Di’s Demon God?

Was the other party really a Netherworld God?

Or was it that powerful being that had killed Fan Di and had long been active within the Mysterious Fog?

Pang Jian’s face darkened as he pondered.

"The Bronze-faced God suggests you to continue hiding in the Thunder Prison and ignore that impostor Netherworld God. He also said that the situation in the Mysterious Fog is very complicated, with many terrifying entities lurking whose powers might not be inferior to those of a High God."

"Even divine beings like Zimo and He Motian, if they carelessly encounter those terrifying existences in the Mysterious Fog, might not come out ahead."

"There seem to be quite a few High Gods from beyond the heavens who have perished in the Mysterious Fog."

The last of Ying Yue’s words carried an aftertaste of fright for Pang Jian.

The Moon Goddess, who had ventured into the Mysterious Fog in her true form together with Han Yi to strike at the Exotic Spirit Star Devourer, previously did not understand the Mysterious Fog well enough.

The message brought by the Bronze-faced God was also unheard of to Him.

There were many beings as mysterious and powerful as a Netherworld God, active within the Mysterious Fog year-round, who possessed the strength to annihilate High Gods!

He had naively thought that there was almost nothing alive in the Mysterious Fog that would require Him and Han Yi to be careful of.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness we were lucky not to encounter the entities the Bronze-faced God spoke of," thought Ying Yue to herself, then said, "I can serve as the bridge for your communication with the Bronze-faced God. In places where the moon can shine upon you, both you and I can maintain contact. The Bronze-faced God wants you to be careful, and He said He is trying to make His way over, attempting to enter the Misty Sea outside of Purgatory."

Ying Yue continued to admonish.

"Bang!"

The dome of the Thunder Prison, streaked with electric light, suddenly burst forth with countless light showers.

A single point of extremely dazzling light became the source of the billion-fold light shower.

Li Yuqing, wielding her sword, struck at the Heaven Forbidden of the dome time after time, tearing apart swathes of the Thunder Vortex and electric sea, and slicing through the numerous Dao Marks imprinted within the Heaven Forbidden.

Thunderbolt restraints, extreme cold secret seals, traces of the moon, patterns of water.

The dome of this "Prison" world was filled with too many halos and radiances, revealing an astonishing spectacle.

The girl swung her sword repeatedly, relying on the sharpness of the Sky-splitting Sword, embedding the fate she had comprehended into the sword light, drawing long and mysterious rivers of sword light.

As a result, the splashing sword light fell upon the world like a fine rain.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, a blinding sword light pierced through the thickly electric Heaven Forbidden.

The girl, with a startling momentum, together with that Divine Sword, simply passed through the Heaven Forbidden and left the Thunder Prison.

This scene left Pang Jian utterly astonished.

Within the Thunder Prison, those beings whose Bloodline level had reached a certain height were also stunned by this scene on the dome of the sky, all of them inquiring about who had broken through the Heaven Forbidden to escape.

Lei Ying and Lei Fan, these two strongest beings of Level 10 Bloodline from the Thunder Clan, were bombarded with countless inquiries.

"She got out!"

Lei Ying arrived swiftly with lightning, stopping sharply in front of Pang Jian, disregarding the "dingling" sound of her arm and neck ornaments, and said, "As an outsider, she successfully broke through our Thunder Prison’s Heaven Forbidden and has entered the Outer Star River!"

"Pang Jian, didn’t you say that the Heaven Forbidden is even harder to cross over?"

"Why?"

Lei Ying’s face was full of shock.

Pang Jian, however, slowly shook his head.

He vividly remembered, back when he was under the dome of the Dark Prison and attempted to break through the Heaven Forbidden with his Immortal Primordial Spirit, the terrifying oppression he had suffered.

Neither the Primordial Spirit nor the "Purgatory Gate" allowed him to pass through the Heaven Forbidden.

But as long as he did not rely on the Heaven Forbidden to leave and instead traversed through the Boundary Wall, either the Primordial Spirit or the "Purgatory Gate" could cross over with incredible ease.

The Boundary Wall of the "Prison" world was very tolerant toward his Primordial Spirit – the "Purgatory Gate" was the key to passage.

But it was not the same with Heaven Forbidden.

Just as in the Dark Prison, what about the Thunder Prison then?

As this thought arose, he ignored Lei Ying’s questions and suddenly condensed into a radiant multicolored light. He too rushed toward the dome of this world and attempted to strike at the Heaven Forbidden.

An overwhelming, boundless sense of the Great Tao’s laws emanated from the Heaven Forbidden of the Thunder Prison.

That Great Tao aura was specifically targeting him!

"Whoosh!"

Pang Jian’s body came to a sudden halt, as if a horse was reined in on the edge of a cliff. He did not make the final attempt, for he already had the answer in his heart.

This special body of his Primordial Spirit was limited by the Heaven Forbidden of the "Prison" world; he could only leave through the Boundary Wall and not through the Heaven Forbidden of the Dark or Thunder Prisons.

"I’m leaving."

He roared up into the high sky of Thunder God Mountain, pressing down with a large hand in the void.

With a thunderous roar, the Thunder Pond that was resting at the summit of Thunder God Mountain, surrounded by infinite lightning, was slowly extracted by him from beneath the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree atop the mountain.

"We will meet again."

"With the Thunder Pond in hand, Pang Jian looked at Lei Fan, who had come from another Continent, and said, ’I’m worried about my friend, wandering alone in the Misty Sea. I must escort her back to Purgatory.’

’Pang Jian, with the ancestral relic in your hands, you and our Thunder Clan share an unbreakable bond! If possible, please take care of our clan members in the Outer Star River,’ Lei Fan said.

’Okay.’

Pang Jian said no more and, without waiting for Lei Ying to come over, flew towards the nearest Misty Sea, heading for the closest Boundary Wall.

At the bottom of Thunder Prison, he decided to no longer bother with the unknown entity.

Li Yuqing was someone he had brought to Thunder God Mountain through a spatial rift from the Fifth Realm of Purgatory. Now, Li Yuqing was at a stage where she urgently needed a stroke of Fate to ascend to True God, and he was determined to ensure her safe return.

’I hope I don’t have the misfortune of encountering High Gods like Zimo.’

The moment he left Thunder Prison and entered the Misty Sea, he expanded his Divine Consciousness, eager to quickly locate Li Yuqing’s whereabouts and meet up with her in the Mysterious Fog.

However, his widely-reaching Divine Consciousness didn’t pick up any trace of Li Yuqing nearby.

He hurriedly flew upwards along the Boundary Wall, his Divine Consciousness constantly spreading out, growing more anxious by the moment.

He suddenly remembered something.

Every character that leaves the ’Prison’ dome of the sky will appear in the Star River, breaking through Heaven Forbidden as if breaking free from the shackles of a cage, momentarily escaping from the Mysterious Fog.

The first place Li Yuqing would appear was above the Mysterious Fog, in the starry sky.

If she fell into the Mysterious Fog, she would be transported elsewhere in an instant, not necessarily somewhere above Thunder Prison.

If she wandered off, she would become increasingly distant from Thunder Prison, perhaps never finding her way back to Purgatory and becoming lost in the Mysterious Fog.

In the vast Misty Sea, there are godly spirits from beyond the skies everywhere, including Netherworld Gods, along with some other powerful unknown creatures.

For a girl who hasn’t ascended to True God, how difficult must her predicament be?

’Damn it, she’s not a Thunder God, so I can’t lock onto her position with the Thunder Pond. That Sky-splitting Sword, its Sword Spirit has no soul connection with me, how am I going to find her?’ Pang Jian’s heart was in turmoil.

The thought of the dangers Li Yuqing might be facing in the Mysterious Fog disturbed his mind.

’Pang Jian, are you lost? You should’ve come out from the bottom of Thunder Prison, so why did you suddenly leave from above?’ the remnants of ’Fan Di’ flew towards him.

The eye sockets of the demonic bones surged with blue ghostly fires, ’The godly spirits that planned to ambush you left behind many soul imprints. After they left, I refined them a little.’

’Tss!’

In the Mysterious Fog, a greyish-yellow dead leaf suddenly appeared with a blue sigil on it.

The leaf burned, and the blue sigil flashed like an eye, exuding an insightful aura.

’This is just one of them.’

The unknown entity, using the body of Fan Di’s demonic bones, said with an easy laugh, ’Not long ago, I saw a ponytailed human girl through one of these soul imprints, flying out of the Misty Sea before suddenly sinking.’

’She...’

Seeing Pang Jian’s eyes suddenly light up, the entity laughed louder, ’It seems she got lost in the Mysterious Fog.’

At that moment, Pang Jian stopped abruptly, no longer charging aimlessly.

The individual before him, with soul imprints set up to monitor near Thunder Prison, seemed to be able to find him easily wherever he appeared once he left Thunder Prison.

Just like the present situation.

Clearly, the other party was placing great importance on him.

As for Li Yuqing, being discovered by the other party seemed accidental; she was not their target.

’She’s my friend, and her sudden departure from the Heaven Forbidden of Thunder Prison was completely unexpected. Since we are allies, could you do me a small favor and bring her to me?’ Pang Jian earnestly requested.

’Delighted to oblige.’

The person’s laugh was hearty, agreeing immediately and saying, ’Just give me a moment. The soul imprint I placed near her will guide her here.’

’Heh, my soul imprints, she will probably find them familiar.’

’Buzz buzz!’

A silver bee appeared, fluttering its wings from within the remains of Fan Di.

’The Soul Bees of Netherworld Prison have always been our eyes. Although I only have these silver beetles, they should suffice.’

’There’s another beetle moving near your friend. Seeing the beetle, she’ll surely be willing to follow.’

The individual from the Nether Tribe explained with a smile.

Before the beetle’s appearance, Pang Jian could not confirm the entity’s identity and suspected it might be another powerful creature in the Mysterious Fog.

With the appearance of the silver beetle, Pang Jian recognized through his Divine Consciousness that this person was definitely a messenger from the Netherworld Prison.

He remained on guard, not revealing the other’s identity, not mentioning that he knew the Netherworld God entrusted by the Bronze-faced God was already dead, but simply said, ’I’ll just say goodbye to her briefly, and then I’ll join you in Netherworld Prison.’

’Since she’s a friend, she can join us,’ the messenger from Netherworld Prison said with a smile.

’I’m afraid that won’t be convenient,’ Pang Jian frowned, ’She’s in a hurry to return to Purgatory, to ascend to True God there; she can’t delay in Netherworld Prison.’

’I see. Fate, it aids your Human True God greatly, and she is about to become a god too,’ the person said pensively.
