The Purgatory Calamity

Chapter 751: Chapter 713: Envoy of the Sword Tower_1

First Realm, Eastland, Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom.

The city of Bright Heaven, built with golden rocks, had walls a hundred feet high. Majestic and grand palaces lay within, like fierce colossal beasts crouching inside the vast city.

Bright Heaven City was the capital of the Divine Kingdom, where the most powerful figures of the Eastland Continent resided.

In the depths of the palace under the night sky, a gathering of the esteemed elite of the Divine Kingdom looked solemnly at one man.

—Zhou Wenhao of the Sword Tower.

"This is a handwritten letter from the Ancestor of the Jiang family."

With neither arrogance nor humility, Zhou Wenhao presented the piece of paper to Jiang Yu, the current emperor of the Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom, saying, "Elder Jiang and the others are trapped in the Fifth Realm, he is infected by the most severe death alien power and urgently needs the Primordial Sky Pills and many other precious treasures for healing. Please prepare these as quickly as possible."

Jiang Yu, who had the demeanor of a dragon and tiger even in plain clothes, said with a deep voice, "Indeed, it’s the Ancestor’s handwriting!"

Zhou Wenhao appeared slightly annoyed, "My deceased shifu, Jiang Ran, was also a man of Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom’s Jiang family. Why would I spout nonsense?"

"The scroll came from the Panshi Fragment Land; it was my junior brother, Pang Jian, who sent it with a secret skill! Right now, it’s not just your Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom, but also the Gui Sacrificial Sect, the Jiuli Sect, Pure Land, and other holy lands of the Human Race that are all actively cooperating! This is a matter that concerns the survival of Human Race, please treat it with the utmost gravity!"

"By the way, you must have heard about the exploits concerning that Old Dragon in the Dragon Cave, haven’t you? Only my junior brother, Pang Jian, was able to enter and leave the Fifth Realm freely while those True Gods were trapped."

Zhou Wenhao, who had reached the pinnacle of the Extinction Realm, faced many Immortal Realm powers of the Eastland’s strongest Divine Kingdom without a trace of fear, urging them while standing tall and proud: "Please hasten the delivery of the items to the Panshi Continent!"

His confidence came from the Sword Tower!

After Pu Zhaotian advanced to become a True God and merged with the ’Heaven Forbidden’ of Purgatory, he became the most unique existence among True Gods.

All True God powerhouses, as long as their battles took place in the worlds filled with Spiritual Energy, could receive additional support through "Heaven Forbidden".

Not long ago, Pang Jian suddenly appeared in the First Realm and captured that Old Dragon, an act that made the Sword Tower’s prestige known to the world!

The display of power by this master and disciple restored the Sword Tower to the prestige and fame of its heyday, allowing Zhou Wenhao to rebuff the powerful of the Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom emphatically!

"We shall see to it immediately!"

At Jiang Yu’s command, people were bustling about, taking out each and every item requested in the Ancestor of the Jiang family’s letter from the secret storerooms of the Divine Kingdom.

...

Jiuli Sect.

Wang Ce, an Elder of the Sword Tower, personally visited, and when several strong members of the Li Clan tribes appeared, he took out a nine-starred token of Li Wang and handed it to them for inspection.

"No need to look." An elderly lady with grey hair barely glanced at the nine-starred token and declared decisively, "What instructions does our king have for us?"

Wang Ce said, "The strongest god pills that benefit both Qi and Blood and the Spiritual Soul, the finest Spirit Stone Essence—Li Wang wants them all."

"To be sent where?" the old lady asked urgently.

"I will personally take them to the Panshi Fragment Land," answered Wang Ce.

"Give us a moment; it won’t be long!" The old lady, actually a thousand years younger than Li Wang but appearing decrepit due to not having ascended to True God, called out loudly, "You all heard him, didn’t you? So what are you waiting for? This not only concerns our king but the future of the entire Human Race!"

"Yes!"

"At once!"

The heads of the major tribes turned into streaks of light and dispersed into the distance.

Wang Ce nodded inwardly, thinking, "No wonder Li Wang could become the leader of True Gods; under his governance, everyone in the sect treats the great cause of the Human Race as a lifelong pursuit."

...

Gui Sacrificial Sect.

Guanghe personally visited this place and indifferently threw out a token engraved with many Ghost Objects, saying, "The Ghost Mother has been injured in the Fifth Realm; she needs Ghost Essence Great Pills, Spirit Ghost Immortal Grass, top-grade jade marrow, and those Ghosts of the Dead that have been confined for ten thousand years."

Fang Hui, an Elder of the Gui Sacrificial Sect, held the token and looked at it briefly, speaking unhurriedly, "We need some time."

"I’m waiting," Guanghe said slightly frowning, "Please remember, it’s you who should be in a hurry, not me."

"She is the foundation that allows your Gui Sacrificial Sect to stand firm in the First Realm. If she were to fall in the Fifth Realm, the Gui Sacrificial Sect would have no qualification to stay in the South Abyss and would have to move the sect downward."

"Because Mu Wentao is already dead."

Guanghe did not speak of the greater good for the Human Race, knowing well that the Ghost Mother was selfish and so was the entire Gui Sacrificial Sect.

He only mentioned what the Gui Sacrificial Sect would face due to the Ghost Mother’s death.

"Half an hour!" Fang Hui’s complexion changed, becoming immediate and urgent, "Please wait a moment! Just half an hour, and we will deliver everything she needs to you!"

"Make it quick," Guanghe replied coldly.

...

The other Elders of the Sword Tower were also dispatching orders in various powers of the First Realm, such as Pure Land, Heaven Treasure Li Family, Yuan Qing Divine Nation, Taiyi Divine Kingdom, as well as the Desolated Terrains and the Ancient Law Sect.

The Spirit Material Treasures controlled by the strongest forces of Human Race, as long as they were known to those True Gods and deemed helpful for their recovery, were duly claimed by Elders of the Sword Tower.

—In the names of Pang Jian and Pu Zhaotian, with tokens of Zhu Ji, Li Wang, and others.

The Divine Countries of forces that had lost a True God did not dare to refuse under such circumstances; any rare treasures that were truly in their possession were dutifully offered up.

Because this matter pertained to whether the Human Race could continue to stand in Purgatory, no one dared delay.

...

The Fifth Realm.

In a piece of Fragment Land above the dense darkness, Zhu Ji used his divine skill to gather Filth Alien Power, forming a halo with the energy of this realm.

The gray, hazy halo enveloped the group, intending to isolate the infiltration of the death force.

"It’s useless,"

Zhu Ji, who had already dispersed his "Divine Dharma Aspect" and shielded his body with a light screen of Spiritual Power, shook his head and said, "His breath of death can penetrate everything. I can never truly isolate it."

"Neither can I," Li Wang said with a wry smile.

The starry deep sea he had once created could resist the penetration of Filth Alien Power, yet it was completely ineffective against the death force.

"We can’t either," Su Wenrou sighed.

The True Gods who had removed their "Divine Dharma Aspect" to protect their bodies with a Spiritual Power Light Shield found that while the light shield could resist the influx of Filth Alien Power, that special kind of death force could still penetrate.

As before, their vitality was still being sapped, and they needed to use even more energy to dissolve the breath of death.

——When they chose the path offered by Pu Zhaotian, refusing to willingly hand over the three strands of fate, that ubiquitous death force eroded them with an even more turbulent offensive.

"Here it comes!" Jiang Fan exclaimed in a low voice.

In a radiant part of the Fragment Land, suddenly pills, vessels, top-grade jade marrow, and various Strange Treasures appeared one after another.

Pang Jian, holding a bronze token, emitted ripples that connected to the Panshi Fragment Land, using the power that a "Realm God" should have to transfer items within the Purgatory’s realm.

As a large number of rare treasures gradually revealed themselves, the several True Gods, weakened by depleted Qi and Blood, seemed to see a light of hope once more.

"For now, I can only transfer materials and am unable to send you to the Upper Realm,"

Under the contamination of the death force, Pang Jian’s depletion of Qi and Blood was not very noticeable. He immersed his consciousness in his own dantian, sensing the Vegetation Law of the "Corrosion Boundary Vine" that was secretly exerting its power.

"Plant Spirit Energy contains creation and vitality, is it an extension of the life force?"

"Death and life are opposites. Because I embody life force which counters it, do I experience less influence than others when facing this level of death erosion?"

"If that’s the case, by spreading the force of life, could there be a possibility to block the penetration of the death force?"

Pang Jian pondered silently but didn’t rush to try.

Seeing that Jiang Fan, Ghost Mother, and others had obtained the divine pills and supreme treasures they desperately needed and had already started replenishing their strength, he grew even less anxious.

...

Deep within the Mysterious Fog.

The emissary from Netherworld Prison rushed through, leading Pang Jian’s Immortal Primordial Spirit to a group of Fragment Lands.

Fragment Lands of various sizes actually existed deep in the Mysterious Fog, with clear signs of living beings!

Around the Fragment Lands, there were no Boundary Walls present, indicating that those lands were not within the "prison" realms.

"We’re close to our Netherworld Prison from here,"

The emissary, who had entrusted his Spiritual Soul into the skeletal remains of Fan Di, slowed down slightly and said, "Pang Jian, how is that old dragon called Long Xiao doing now?"

As Pang Jian gazed towards those Fragment Lands, he casually replied, "The Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree is extracting His flesh and absorbing the Thunder Divine Power He has amassed over ten thousand years in our Purgatory, to form Tao Fruits."

Changing the subject, Pang Jian curiously asked, "Why do you care about Him?"

"It’s not concern."

A flicker of ghostly light jumped within the eye sockets of the Netherworld emissary, who bitterly explained, "It’s fear! To be honest, the Nether Gods from our Netherworld are most terrified of those Thunder Gods from the Thunder Prison."

Pang Jian scoffed, "So was Fan Di’s death really your doing or not?"

"It wasn’t!" the Netherworld emissary immediately denied, saying, "I left the Netherworld Prison in the form of a Spiritual Soul. In pure spiritual form, I don’t have the power to kill any Thunder God! Besides, He was a Thunder God of the Demon Race; I certainly couldn’t kill Him!"

By this time, Pang Jian no longer concealed anything and said, "As far as I know, the emissary that the Bronze-faced God sent to Thunder Prison died before reaching it."

"His killer is the master of those Fragment Lands ahead. It has nothing to do with me!" said the emissary of Netherworld Prison, pointing ahead, "Do you want to take a look, or should we bypass it and enter Netherworld Prison as quickly as possible?"

"What level is the master of the Fragment Land?" Pang Jian was astonished.

The emissary answered, "Roughly the power level of a High God."

Pang Jian was shocked and asked again, "What exactly is His race?"

Hesitating for a moment, the emissary replied, "An Exotic Spirit. One without flesh and blood, but possessing extremely high intelligence."

Upon hearing this, Pang Jian suddenly remembered the scene inside the unknown stars, where Youkui, under the instructions of the Bronze-faced God, used segments of the Star Devourer’s limbs in an attempt to "cultivate the vessel."

After the Star Devourer was captured, its limbs were infused with the essence of gold, silver, copper, and iron, intended to be solidified into key materials for creating Divine Weapon Sharp Blades.

Being of the same Exotic Spirit kind, could it be that the master of the Fragment Land knew something about the actions of the Bronze-faced God?

Because of an afflicted Exotic Spirit of its own kind, did the master of the Fragment Land take out his anger on that Nether God who had good relations with the Bronze-faced God?
