The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 763 - 725: The Chosen Ones_1

Chapter 763: Chapter 725: The Chosen Ones_1

Third Realm, Xuan You Continent.

Deep within the Prayer Spirit Forbidden Land, due to the Demon Stone originating from the Demon Abyss Continent situated there, all the Filth Alien Powers within thousands of miles had been devoured and transformed, creating a dense concentration of Demon Element Power.

The Devil Scale Tribe, the Bull Demon Tribe, along with Human Race cultivators from the Demon Sect, were all currently lurking in this area.

At this moment, near where the Demon Stone was located, Dazzling Shadow, several ninth-level warriors from the Devil Scale Tribe, and a few Immortal Realm Elders from the Demon Sect, were discussing important matters when suddenly a streak of Demon Light fell from the sky.

"Wu Yuan!"

The crowd erupted with noise.

Wu Yuan, dressed in a pitch-black robe, his expression wooden, suddenly appeared before everyone’s eyes!

Dazzling Shadow’s eyes, cold as blade edges, suddenly shone with a frigid light as he said, "Congratulations!"

"Wu Yuan, since you have become a True God with the Demon Path Truths, you should fight for us, not for Pang Jian or anyone else!" Elder Qu Long from the Demon Sect shouted angrily.

Elder Chen Xuanfeng, also an Elder, said, "Lord He Motian has placed great expectations on you, you must not let down the Lord!"

A group of cultivators from the Demon Sect of lower realms, below the Extinction Realm, revealed looks of admiration on their faces.

After the death of Sect Master Xiang Shengwei and the fall of the Devil Scale Tribe chieftain, Li Bai, during battle, this group gathered around the Demon Stone had lost its backbone, unsure of what to do.

Due to the changes in "Heaven Forbidden," they were also unable to communicate with the true body of He Motian outside the heavens, and that more mysterious Original Demon has never revealed his traces.

They once felt lost and anxious.

When they learned that Wu Yuan had successfully ascended to True God with the aid of fate, they were very excited.

Alas, Wu Yuan had not returned to this area as they had hoped after becoming a god to lead them as their leader.

After becoming a god, Wu Yuan suddenly vanished into thin air.

Not long ago, Wu Yuan reappeared in the Pure Land, to everyone’s surprise, teaming up with Dong Tianze to suppress that Old Thunder Dragon.

This left the group puzzled - hadn’t that Old Dragon already reached an understanding with the being from the Fifth Realm?

As one of their own, why did Wu Yuan help the Pure Land against that Old Dragon, leading to the dragon’s capture by Pang Jian?

"I am here for the demon nest."

Ignoring everyone’s stares and questions, Wu Yuan walked straight toward the towering Demon Stone, speaking indifferently, "The struggles between the Fifth Realm clans and the people of the upper realms hold no interest for me."

He paid no heed to some matters: the possession of Xiang Shengwei by He Motian, that Original Demon, or the so-called great cause of the Demon Path.

—What he cared about was only himself.

If a few people must be added, then Pu Zhaotian, who spurred him on to become a Demon Path True God, and Pang Jian, who had fought side by side with him many times, were the only others he cared about.

The battle alongside Dong Tianze against Long Xiao made him realize his inadequacies. While he was contemplating ways to counter beings like Long Xiao, a Thunder God, it suddenly occurred to him to turn to this Demon Stone called the demon nest.

The limitations of "Heaven Forbidden" remained, with He Motian temporarily unable to recklessly infiltrate with Divine Consciousness, unable to influence him at this stage.

Pang Jian was quite open with him and Dong Tianze, informing them about the struggle between two Sovereigns in the Seventh Realm and mentioning that the Original Demon was also involved.

Without He Motian’s descending power and the Original Demon’s attention turned to the Seventh Realm, Wu Yuan, now a True God, found this to be the perfect time to unravel the secrets of the Demon Stone and claim it for himself!

Once successful, his combat power would instantly surge to an even higher level. Even if He Motian’s Divine Consciousness could permeate through "Heaven Forbidden," he would likely find it difficult to affect him.

"Wu Yuan! It was we, the Demon Sect, who made you. You should understand gratitude!" an Extinction Realm Elder from the Demon Heart Sect, under Chen Xuanfeng’s eye signal, shouted angrily, "The Sect Master is dead, Li Bai is dead, you are now the king of a myriad of demons in purgatory, and you must shoulder your responsibilities!"

"I am not Pang Jian. I do not carry responsibilities recklessly." Wu Yuan looked at him deeply and uttered in Demon Sound, "You seek your own death."

A field of blue-purple Demon Marks appeared in the sea of consciousness of this Elder, first turning into a desire for death, which soon transformed into action.

Dozens of pitch-black "heart-shaped" Demon Souls and Demon Clouds extinguished within this Demon Heart Sect Elder’s body and mind, leading the Elder to commit suicide.

The rest of the demons were immediately chilled to the bone.

"Don’t bother me."

With that, Wu Yuan stepped into the Demon Stone called the demon nest, intending to refine it and thereafter claim it as his own, forging a powerful Demon Instrument unique to him.

...

Also on Xuan You Continent, in the boundary region of Yin Spirit Temple.

Within a blood-colored halo, a thin silhouette walked through different halls and temples until he stopped in front of a cave mansion.

Yu Qing of the Heaven Clan, along with several mighty Heaven Clan warriors, fluttering their pure white wings, attentively watched his every move.

"Without that Sovereign, without the descended High God Shen Yalie, the rest of the strongest level-ten from the Fifth Realm can do nothing to me on Xuan You Continent."

"Moreover, they are not here at the moment."

Dong Tianze, his expression gloomy, looked at the cave mansion where he had once practiced diligently, without even turning to glance at those Heaven Clan warriors.

Like Wu Yuan, he had little interest in the conflicts between Alien Tribes and the Human Race. In this world, the people and things he cared about could be counted on one hand, and Han Zhiyuan and Yin Spirit Temple were precisely among them.

The Alien Tribe that killed Han Zhiyuan was nothing but several seventh-level and eighth-level Ghost Clan warriors.

Before coming to Xuan You Continent, he made a detour to Qian Tian Continent, where he slaughtered all those Ghost Clan warriors.

The mightiest from the Yao Clan there, and the Flame Clan warriors, watched in horror as he went on a killing spree, not even daring to encircle and attack him.

This made him suddenly realize that what was referred to as Different Kinds, what was referred to as demonic cultivators, could actually be completely ignored when possessing sufficient power.

So what if he was the Blood God?

Within the various sects of the First Realm, those Great Cultivators who once despised and denounced him, haven’t they all fallen silent?

When he, as a member of the Human Race, executed the true culprit from the Ghost Clan responsible for his Shifu Han Zhiyuan’s death on the Qian Tian Continent, could even the Yao Clan and Flame Clan do anything but watch?

Why is that?

Isn’t it because he has become one of the True Gods of Purgatory, stepping into the ranks of the most powerful!

Those prestigious orthodox Great Cultivators and the strong beings of the Alien Tribes from the lower worlds only chose to fall silent because they knew they had no way to deal with him!

"What exactly do you want to do?" Yu Qing asked.

"Cultivate, in the cave dwelling I am familiar with." Dong Tianze said with an impassive face, "I am not interested in what you want to do, just don’t come and provoke me, and you can continue to live."

"Cultivate?" Yu Qing was astonished.

Without the Filth Alien Power in the First and Second Realms, considering Dong Tianze’s current level of cultivation, couldn’t he cultivate anywhere he wanted?

Why did he specifically choose the cave dwelling in the Yin Spirit Temple?

Yu Qing had many questions, but Dong Tianze clearly had no intention to explain. Under the wary gazes of him and numerous powerful beings from the Heaven Clan, this newly christened "Blood God" stepped into the dust-ridden and spider-webbed cave dwelling.

"The Ghost Altar inside is missing."

After murmuring dissatisfiedly, Dong Tianze sat down in a corner, paying no mind to the dust on the ground or the spider webs that crisscrossed his vision.

...

In the Second Realm, deep within the Mysterious Fog of the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land.

At a special point on the Boundary Wall, a Bee Insect hovered motionless above the Misty Sea.

In fact, at every special Boundary Wall point, there is such a Bee Insect present.

Following the departure of Dong Tianze and Wu Yuan, it had been a very long time since any new visitors from the Outer Realm had come, and it seemed the fighters mostly composed of members from the Ghost Clan and Demon Clan among the Alien Tribes knew that coming here meant death.

Otherwise, why has there not been a single entrant who could return the way they came?

Throwing a bun to a dog, but never seeing it return—as such acts were repeated often, they ceased to occur.

"Swoosh!"

A green figure riding a sword streaked through the special point on the Boundary Wall, and after a long and arduous journey, finally arrived smoothly at the Purgatory World.

The eyes of the Golden Bee Insect suddenly lit up and it spoke with a human voice, "Miss Li, welcome back to the homeland of Purgatory!"

Li Yuqing was startled and curiously asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the king of all Bee Insects." The Golden Bee Insect seemed to smile as it explained, "My master is Pang Jian, and he had long ago ordered me to guide you back to Purgatory through the Boundary Wall point, saying that you would return one day."

Li Yuqing pursed her lips in gratitude, "Thank you for the trouble."

This journey had been full of mystery for her, and even now, it seemed incredible in retrospect.

After bidding farewell to Pang Jian outside the Thunder Prison, she embarked on her journey back to Purgatory, guided by the "Pearl of Destiny" in her hand.

Along the way, she encountered many God Spirits.

These God Spirits wandered within the Mysterious Fog, lurking near Purgatory, all to ambush Pang Jian.

Moreover, they were primarily God Spirits from the Ghost Clan and Demon Clan.

Low-rank Gods, Middle-level Gods, even High Gods—she had seen them all.

Yet strangely enough, every one of those God Spirits from beyond the heavens chose to actively avoid her whenever they saw her.

God Spirits avoided her as if she were a viper, as if she was enveloped in a deadly poison.

And so she moved through the vast Misty Sea with unprecedented ease, approaching the realm of Purgatory World.

At that time, there were even Ghost Clan warriors who took the initiative to guide her to the Boundary Wall point that could lead to Purgatory, making her wonder if she was actually part of the Alien Tribes from beyond the heavens.

Then, she gradually realized that the God of Destiny who favored her and extended goodwill toward her held an almighty authority!

Just because she was someone chosen by the God of Destiny, truly no God Spirit dared to provoke her.

—Even though she was from the Human Race, the very beings that should be hunted down to death by all the gods.

The Bee Insect led the way with a chirp, "Follow me, I will lead you out of this Misty Sea."

"Alright."

...

Heaven Treasure Sect.

A girl in green clothes landed with her sword in the void above the many volcanoes and shouted, "Li Jie, arrange it for me now, I’m going to ascend to True Godhood immediately!"

"Sister! Elder sister!" Li Jie cried out in despair, emerging from the refining cave with a deathly pale face, shouting, "The old man is dead; he died in the Fifth Realm!"

"I know." Li Yuqing’s expression was solemn, "But you and I are still alive, the Heaven Treasure Sect has not been destroyed, and our Li Family still exists!"

Li Jie wiped away tears, saying, "I thought you were dead too!"

"I cannot die!" Li Yuqing snorted coldly, looking at the Heaven Treasure Sect Great Cultivators rushing out of the caves and stood tall, saying, "As long as I am here, the Heaven Treasure Sect will never perish."

"Once I become a god, there will surely be a place for me in this world! Our Li Family, too, will only grow stronger than before!"
