The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 768 - 730 Heaven Demon Sovereign_1

Chapter 768: Chapter 730 Heaven Demon Sovereign_1

The beings in Purgatory, as long as they once lived in this area or had passed through it, seemed to have their inner malevolent thoughts and evil intentions drawn out.

Such malicious thoughts were like another form of droplets in the ocean of Demon Element Power, numbering in the hundreds of millions, vast and limitless.

When he sought to perceive these evil thoughts and intentions, he was inspecting the evil in the hearts of living beings, his pure and translucent God Status, the essence of his soul within it, seemed like it would be tainted.

If he were to forsake everything and abandon all powers unrelated to the Demon Path Truths, he seemed capable of absorbing the evil thoughts and intentions from the Demonic Energy.

Moreover, the evil thoughts and malevolent intentions emerging from the hearts of beings were the sustenance for the Heaven Demon, the power they used to enhance their realms and cultivate their abilities.

"Strange, what is the origin of this dense Demon Element Power in the sky? Even I almost fell here, what a terrifying influence this is?"

Pang Jian’s heart was suddenly filled with doubt.

The first thing he thought of was the Black Phoenix suspended in the Seventh Realm, supposing that it leaked from within the Black Phoenix.

The Sovereign of the Black Phoenix from the Ancient Demon Clan, whose primary strength was Darkness, also encompassed destruction, corrosion, annihilation, deadly toxins, and many evil laws related to the spiritual realm.

The various types of aberrant and filthy powers that pervaded the Fifth Realm and wandered the seven continents were mostly related to that Black Phoenix.

The Demon Element Power was also most likely to have come from Him.

However, in some specific locations of the seven continents, that surging Demon Element Power was always very thin and covered a much smaller area.

For instance, in the territory where the Devil Scale Tribe lived and the lands frequented by Bull Demon Tribe Warriors, the Demon Element Power couldn’t be compared to other Alien Powers.

Yet, in the void of the Fifth Realm’s sky, such a dense and terrifying presence of Demon Element Power inexplicably existed.

Furthermore, it could draw out the malevolent thoughts and evil intentions of nearby beings.

It seems that it has been operating in the shadows for tens of millions of years, absorbing countless beings’ stray and malicious thoughts into it.

The Original Demon, would He not be very fond of such a domain?

Could it be that He created it?

Upon further thought, Pang Jian felt that this was not quite right.

The so-called demon nest, a piece of Outer Realm Demon Stone nursing the Demon Fetus called the Original Demon, He intended to complete his metamorphosis in Purgatory.

But, the real emergence of the Original Demon had in fact happened not long ago.

He had never stepped out of the demon nest before. Instead, it was the Source Demon that He had separated from, which attached to the Origin Demon Sword and traveled everywhere.

He presumably didn’t have the capability to set up such a realm of Demonic Energy Earth long ago, isolating the Fourth Realm from the Fifth Realm.

The Original Demon was entrusted with high hopes from the Great Demon God Hemo Tian, Ti Wei, and many powerful Outer World Demon Gods, hoping He would become a Sovereign of the Heaven Demon Clan.

He was crucial to the rise and fall of the entire Demon Clan!

Yet, why did He choose Purgatory for the gestation, growth, and strengthening of the Demon Fetus?

If one were to say that the Devil Sky, which isolates the Fourth Realm from the Fifth Realm, had existed a very long time ago and that those Great Demon Gods from the outer heavens were already well aware of it.

Then, if he were Great Demon God Hemo Tian, if he were those Outer World Demon Gods wanting to nurture the Original Demon, to assist the Original Demon in becoming the Sovereign of all Heaven Demons, what would he do?

He would throw out a piece of Outer Realm Demon Stone named demon nest, containing the Original Demon, letting it sink into Purgatory through the Heaven Forbidden.

Then, let it directly fall to this part of the world!

The Demon Stone, like a meteor from beyond the heavens, was supposed to enter this space smoothly, creating the Original Demon early in an environment most suitable for the demon nest and the Original Demon.

But, perhaps the truth was not so smooth!

This piece of Demon Stone, coming from beyond the heavens, right before it fell into this space, happened to be blocked by a fragment of land, unexpectedly creating the grand foundation of the Human Race’s Demon Tao.

The Demon Sect thus arose!

He suddenly realized, feeling that this was the truth, fitting the current situation!

With this thought, he looked once more at the region where Demonic Energy surged tumultuously, feeling that something was off about this place.

If the Great Demon God Hemo Tian, who dwelled on this place and sparing no effort sent the demon nest, regarding it as a cherished site for the growth of the Original Demon, why did it exist in Purgatory World?

What, in the end, is it?

Pang Jian, with this thought in mind, stood within the Thunder Pond, traveling through this land of surging Demonic Energy, gradually moving towards the location of the Fourth Realm.

"Boom!"

A repressive force weighed down upon all beings of heaven and earth, coming from the Fifth Realm’s dome, extinguishing all the thunder and lightning within Pang Jian.

His God Status trembled, and all the powers related to Thunder God Tao laws within him suffered a heavy blow.

Thunder God was intent on annihilating the Ghost Clan and Demon Clan, causing the pursuit of the Great Tao that brought down the Outer World Demon Gods to seem as if it were heavily targeted.

In that surging demonic energy, the malevolent and evil thoughts of countless living beings turned into numerous terrifying spiritual torrents, rushing toward Pang Jian’s mind.

At this moment, it was not just that he was merely a Middle-level God, even a High God would find it difficult to resist!

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

He suddenly hid the Thunder Pond within his body, instantly retracting all the outwardly visible lightning.

In his mind, he no longer thought about anything related to Thunder God, nor did he reveal the slightest dissatisfaction with the Outer Realm Demons.

He also quietly operated the "Original Demon Fusion Spell," harboring the "Six Demons Heaven Declaring" secret skill, and those bewitching Demon Tao evil skills.

In his dantian, above the seven small Fragment Lands, the myriad Demon Path secrets originating from Demon Gods and Great Demon Gods were also deliberately displayed by him.

He suddenly transformed into a false Demon God!

And the malevolent spiritual torrents that had firmly locked onto him, which should have shattered his mind and destroyed his God Status, passed quietly by his side, seemingly losing their direction.

He was like a small wooden boat, drifting in the violent Demon Sea, enduring the baptism of huge waves and natural disasters.

At any moment, he could capsize, potentially crushed by that tremendous force, his every thought and idea stifled in an instant, reduced to a soulless corpse.

He silently bore the onslaught, repeatedly pondering those secret skills related to the Demon Path truths.

Thus, after an unknown amount of time, he felt as if he had become a part of this Ocean of Demon Element Power.

Above him, no longer constrained by the Great Tao, those extreme malevolent and evil thought torrents no longer attempted to erode him.

On the contrary, the evil and malevolent thoughts mixed in the Demon Sea appeared, in his eyes, like sweet and tempting fruits.

——Ready to be plucked and consumed at will!

He seemed to have metamorphosed into a true Demon God who could rapidly grow his realm and cultivation using the Demonic Energy in the sea and those evil and malevolent thoughts.

In secret, it seemed as if some power was also waiting for him, eager to see him recklessly seize that power.

"It’s definitely not the Original Demon!"

Pang Jian maintained his composure, didn’t act recklessly, but rather continued to contemplate deeply.

Among the Demon Clan, there once emerged a Sovereign from the many Demon Gods and Great Demon Gods.

When this Sovereign existed, the status of the Demon Clan and the Outer World Demon Gods was far above the Ghost Clan and those deities of the Ghost Clan.

Because of that Sovereign, the Demon Clan was once on an equal footing with the Heaven Clan.

But that Sovereign of the Demon Clan ultimately fell in the Star River, the cause of his death unknown to him.

Who could have killed the Sovereign?

It could only be the Divine King, or another Sovereign!

If it’s the Divine King, then he has been gone for too long, so long that the stories about Him have become blurred legends.

Only the oldest gods in the stars still have some impression of His deeds, knowing His once glorious and magnificent life journey.

If the one who killed the Demon Clan Sovereign wasn’t Him, then it could only be another Sovereign.

"Could it be the Black Phoenix?"

As soon as this thought emerged, Pang Jian felt it was highly likely.

The Black Phoenix, whose personal combat power was a head above other Sovereigns, possessed the power to kill the Heaven Demon Sovereign on his own.

If the Heaven Demon Sovereign died at the hands of the Black Phoenix and some power was taken by the Black Phoenix, it would be possible for such a strange realm of demonic energy to emerge after the carcass of the Black Phoenix appeared in the Purgatory World.

...

Outside the Netherworld Prison, in the Misty Sea.

"May I be so bold as to ask if you know how that Sovereign of the Heaven Demon Clan met his end?" Pang Jian suddenly asked.

The Realm God hidden in the bones of Fan Di, looking at him with hollow eye sockets, said, "If I tell you the truth, will you stop hesitating and willingly enter the Netherworld Prison?"

Pang Jian nodded and explained, "I had already planned to go in."

"Alright." The elder Realm God, seemingly annoyed by Pang Jian’s procrastination, then said, "The one who killed Him was the Sovereign of the Ancient Demon Clan, a mystical and evil Black Phoenix."

"Thank you, I have no more questions," said Pang Jian, bowing slightly to indicate for Him to lead the way.
