Chapter 743: Chapter 705: The Transformation of the Dragon_1

"Our Realm God Card from Purgatory..." Pang Jian’s expression changed as he curiously asked, "Could it be that there are also Realm God Cards in your Netherworld Prison?"

"Not just in Netherworld Prison."

The messenger from Netherworld Prison did not conceal the matter and candidly said, "In all the ’prison’ worlds hidden within Mysterious Fog, there is a similar Realm God Card. To my knowledge, these Realm God Cards appeared at the same time and have a very ancient history."

Pang Jian was even more astonished, "I have been to Dark Prison and Thunder Prison, and I’ve never heard the people of those two prison worlds mention this."

"That’s because many Realm God Cards were lost with the death of their Realm Gods. Realm Gods pass down their legacy from generation to generation, and it’s easy for the lineage to be cut short with the death of a Realm God," explained the messenger from Netherworld Prison, inhabited by the possessing spirit of Fan Di, with blue ghostly flames burning in the eye sockets. "Once the lineage ends, the Realm God Cards disappear without a trace, and the Realm God ceases to appear. Naturally, the successors are unaware."

"Then, who exactly crafted these Realm God Cards? And from what special materials?" Pang Jian asked further.

The messenger from Netherworld Prison chuckled, "I am merely a messenger, the deeper secrets can only be asked of our leader after you enter Netherworld Prison."

"He knows?" Pang Jian was hopeful.

"Mhm." The messenger from Netherworld Prison nodded slightly and said, "Our Realm God of Netherworld Prison often frequents the Outer Star River, active across different Star Domains. It was He who strongly advocated for an alliance with your Human Race and has been trying to broker this affair."

"However, our leader had disagreements with Him and had previously refused to agree."

"Recently, for some reason, the leader suddenly began to take this matter seriously and became quite attentive to the situation in Purgatory."

"Perhaps, you could be the key person to influence our leader’s decision on whether or not to form an alliance with your Human Race."

The messenger from Netherworld Prison spoke while howling through the Mysterious Fog.

Regarding Pang Jian’s doubts, He would only elaborate on what He deemed answerable, often glossing over questions involving the inner secrets of Mysterious Fog.

"What exactly is the situation in Netherworld Prison? Is the bottom of Netherworld Prison passable? In your Netherworld Prison, are there special spiritual materials that can integrate with a Spiritual Soul?" Pang Jian asked in rapid succession.

He now understood that the Filthy Essence was the essence of a Sovereign-level Black Phoenix, but what about Fate?

Neither Dark Prison nor Thunder Prison contain such a thing as Fate. Does it exist in Netherworld Prison?

At the bottom of Netherworld Prison, is there another Bronze Continent? He wanted to pry more secrets from this messenger from Netherworld Prison.

"Wait until you reach Netherworld Prison and ask our leader," the messenger from Netherworld Prison said indifferently.

...

The Seventh Realm.

"Clang!"

Holding the bronze token and striking the Continent, Pang Jian saw bronze light splashing and heard the sonorous clash of metal.

The Realm God Card in his hand could also not crack the bronze Continent of the same material, preventing him from escaping smoothly from "the bottom of the well" below Purgatory.

In the Seventh Realm, upon setting foot on the Bronze Continent, his perception soared by dozens of times.

But he could not rely on the Realm God Card in his hand to tear a space crack for his passage, unable to face the Immortal Primordial Spirit directly.

He could only depend on the Realm God Card to instantly leave the Seventh Realm, arriving at the location of Mysterious Turtle and Bee Insect.

In summary, he could move unobstructed within Purgatory, but he could not silently depart from the Seventh Realm.

Determined, he then sped to the edge of the Seventh Realm and delved into the Misty Sea.

There, he indeed saw that the Bronze Continent stretched out to the Boundary Wall, covering the entire "bottom of the well."

Trying to pass through the Boundary Wall encircling the Seventh Realm with his own body, he was still rebounded back.

The thing preventing him from leaving with the Realm God Card, after repeatedly sensing it many times, he was convinced it was tainted with Filthy Essence infused with God Status!

"The rules of Purgatory World always restrict the essence of the Black Phoenix. Is this out of goodwill to let the Black Phoenix accumulate strength for revival, or is it to restrain the Black Phoenix altogether?"

Pang Jian was filled with doubts.

Those who merge with Fate can break through "Heaven Forbidden" and soar through the Star River, and his Immortal Primordial Spirit could even leave directly.

However, those who gathered the essence of the Black Phoenix to become a Demon God and the strongest of the Alien Tribes from the Fifth Realm were all unable to break free from Purgatory’s confinement, ultimately perishing.

Their essence would all return to the Black Phoenix.

Could it be that this Purgatory World was originally the prison of the Black Phoenix, naturally opposing all creatures carrying Its essence?

"Brother!"

Pang Lin’s cry of alarm rippled through Pang Jian’s mind and soul.

...

The void of Xi Rang Continent.

The fierce and cruel blue Giant Dragon revealed its original dragon form, navigating through dense Thunder and Lightning.

The "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree" that was initially nurtured in "Thunder Cave Heavens" began to flourish again, as a large thunder orb slowly emerged on a branch, as if it were real.

This "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree," surprisingly under Long Xiao’s care, underwent a transformation and bore mystical Tao Fruit!

"Persistence pays off."

Long Xiao was elated, raising his head and letting out a long, melodious dragon roar.

On his neck, a piece of dragon scale shimmering with a metallic luster suddenly sprouted many intricate Thunder Principal markings.

The origin of the "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree" was from Panshi Fragment Land’s "Thunder Cave Heavens," and the formation of "Thunder Cave Heavens" seemed to rely on Mysterious Turtle but was actually due to the Forbidden Land of Thunder God.

The root cause traces back to the Great Tao left by the Thunder God in the Forbidden Land.

When the first "Tao Fruit" was born by Long Xiao, it manifested the Thunder Principal that the Thunder God had comprehended, which was then instantly deciphered by Long Xiao.

In the blood-red vastness, the nine Thunder Vortices suddenly emitted an aura of annihilating godly and demonic beings, aligning well with Long Xiao’s savage and tyrannical nature.

Near the "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree," the Thunder Vortices began to spread outward, crushing ancient Demon Gods and the mightiest of the Alien Tribes.

Those strong beings, refined by Dong Tianze from within the blood and driven by Qi and Blood, were successively destroyed by the Thunder Vortices.

The Old Thunder Dragon, who had reigned supreme on the Thunder God’s Path for ten thousand years, upon comprehending the subtleties of the Thunder God’s Great Tao and applying it to his attack, immediately experienced unexpected miraculous effects.

Dong Tianze was still doing relatively well.

"Boom! Rumble!"

Within Long Xiao’s massive azure dragon eyes, two thunderous worlds burst open, annihilating all the "Hidden Demons" released by Wu Yuan in secret, rendering Wu Yuan’s Demonic Skill completely ineffective.

The methods Pang Jian had initially used against the Original Demon were now applied by Long Xiao to Wu Yuan, causing this Demonic Tao True God to suffer heavy damage instantly.

"Hey, so that’s how it is; turns out the Dragon Soul can also trigger thunder!"

"Stationed in the Outer Star River are Zimo from the Ghost Clan and He Motian from the Heaven Demons, with spirits of the Ghost Clan and Demon Clan in abundance! And the Great Tao Law of the Thunder God naturally suppresses the spirits of the Ghost Clan and Demon Clan. I finally understand why the Thunder God fell!"

"Kid, as a True God who ascended through the Demonic Path Sorcery, from now on, you will never pose a threat to me again!"

"Hahaha!"

Long Xiao’s wild laughter thundered through heaven and earth.

His serpentine dragon body, emerging suddenly from a fantastical world created by the "Dragon Bead," lashed down with its tail covered in sharp dragon scales, accompanied by cracking sounds.

"Pff!"

The Demon Souls surrounding Wu Yuan were swept away, and the strands of Demon Thought within him were traced and obliterated by the thunder and lightning.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Yuan sustained severe injuries and had no choice but to retreat from the blood-stained battlefield.

With his departure, Dong Tianze immediately faced increased pressure.

Against the Old Dragon who had grasped one of the Thunder God’s deepest secrets, even the Sword Spirit in Dong Tianze’s Bloodthirsty Blade let out a piercing shriek, warning him to be extremely cautious.

"Kid, the Blood God Skill you’ve comprehended does have some substance, but your experience in the Tao is still too shallow."

"How long have you been a True God? Even with Liu Fu’s Bloodline Treasury, you cannot turn the tides! Eh, strange! The laws of Purgatory World have changed, I..."

Suddenly, Long Xiao’s gigantic dragon body began to tremble in the void.

Not out of fear, but excitement!

He always knew that Purgatory had its inherent laws and was aware of the rankings of Alien God Spirits; having stayed in Purgatory for so many years without leaving, his Godhood remained forever at the level of a Low-rank God.

His Dragon Soul could never materialize, never condense into God Status, and never become a Middle-level God.

These were the constraints of the heavenly laws!

His eagerness to leave this time was driven by his desire to break the shackles of a Low-rank God in the Outer Star River and condense his God Status, to become what is known as a Middle-level God.

The old rules of Purgatory prohibited the birth of Middle-level Gods; without leaving, one would always remain a Low-rank God.

But now the laws had suddenly changed!

He felt it, that upon fully comprehending and grasping the Great Tao Truth left by the Thunder God, his Dragon Soul showed faint signs of materializing and forging God Status!

The "Tao Fruit" of the "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree" seemed to be able to help him create his own unique God Status, belonging solely to Long Xiao!

"If I can indeed advance further, why should I rush to leave?"

"If I can generate God Status, with just me, Long Xiao, as a Demon God of the Ancient Demon Clan, it would be sufficient to suppress all sides! Even against the Fire God Yan Lie, I wouldn’t be without the chance to fight!"

"Roar!"

The Old Dragon roared wildly, shaking loose hundreds of thunderballs from its dragon scales, shattering the blood-red expanse.

Dong Tianze, wielding the Bloodthirsty Blade, was also sent flying out of the void by the suddenly intensified thunder and lightning, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his presence diminished greatly.

Following Wu Yuan, Dong Tianze too was heavily injured.

In contrast, the Old Dragon, roaming in the dense mesh of the Thunder and Lightning Sea, roared even more domineeringly, "I’ve decided not to leave! I will remain in the Purgatory World, destroying the foundations of your Sects one by one."

"First the First Pure Land, then the Heaven Treasure Sect, followed by the Sword Tower!"

"I will first annihilate these three powers, then invade the Gui Sacrificial Sect and Jiuli Sect, and I really want to see if anyone in the current Purgatory Human Tribe can stop me!"

Upon hearing this declaration, everyone felt as though they were mourning the loss of their parents.

Dong Shangqing also felt despair, thinking that if they had known earlier, they should have let the Old Dragon vent his fury and gotten rid of this plague by sending him away.

Why involve more Sect forces?

"My brother will be here soon."

Just as everyone was feeling pessimistic and depressed, Pang Lin in the Secluded Valley pursed her lips and suddenly exclaimed, "He will take care of this Old Dragon; he will fulfill his promise!"
