The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 783 - 745

Chapter 783: 745

Purgatory, beneath the sky dome of the Fifth Realm.

Pang Jian, deeply engrossed in thought, wondered how he could possess the extraordinary Demon Instrument, when suddenly he felt a warmth originating from the depths of his soul.

In a distant world, it seemed as though a deep sea had accepted him, embraced him.

It was a deep sea of a gentle blue hue.

It was filled with dreamlike colors, mysterious and vast, like the ultimate resting place of all living souls, containing all the mysteries related to the soul.

Feeling it, one might understand the cycle of life and death, cause and effect, and the existence and cessation of the Soul Spirit.

"Hmm!"

Pang Jian’s mind trembled.

He had seen his sister Pang Lin’s Spiritual Soul form, which was similarly a gentle blue deep sea, where countless crystal lights floated and twinkled like stars.

According to Pang Lin, those floating crystal lights in the gentle blue deep sea represented the many marks left behind by the Heaven Phoenix.

They involved the Great Tao Laws of brightness, darkness, destruction, devastation, deadly poison, Nirvana Rebirth, and so on.

But the gentle blue deep sea he felt at the moment was surely in the Netherworld Prison, of this he was extremely certain.

After a long moment, he felt that the mysterious deep sea was located somewhere in the ocean depths of the Netherworld Prison.

"Sea of Souls!"

He soon knew that the deep sea he sensed with his original body was the birthplace of the Nether Tribe!

The Sea of Souls was also the greatest wonder within the Netherworld Prison.

After his Immortal Primordial Spirit was shattered by the Old Ape’s word "split," he was unaware of what happened afterward, not knowing that a tiny bit of Undying Soul Fire had been promptly shifted away by many spatial cracks and then delivered to the Netherworld Prison.

He also did not know that the Undying Soul Fire had suddenly disappeared during its descent.

However, after he felt that Sea of Souls, he slowly became aware of the existence of the Undying Soul Fire and found some golden flames slowly gathering in the gentle blue Sea of Souls.

Those golden flames were the fundamental fire that still burned unextinguished after his Primordial Spirit burst apart.

His fate was destroyed, his godly organs erased, and his Great Tao Crystal Bones all turned into nothingness.

But his fundamental fire, transformed after he attained the Immortal Primordial Spirit, was preserved in the mysterious Sea of Souls.

As long as the Sea of Souls existed, his fundamental fire would continue to burn.

Even that ferocious Old Ape could not extinguish the fundamental fire that had fallen into the Sea of Souls with his current level of power.

He joyfully observed in secret, seeing the specks of golden flames burning in the gentle blue deep sea, gradually beginning to converge.

It was in this state that he realized his insight into the Great Tao Laws had suddenly greatly improved.

—His wisdom and perception had been enhanced!

The Divine Skills of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, Cold Ice, and lightning, coming from various Demon Gods and Low-rank Gods scattered across the seven fragment lands of his Dantian, he could now quickly understand when he pondered them again.

Maintaining a connection with the Sea of Souls, his soul seemed to be sublimated, effortlessly learning the many Divine Ability Laws.

This allowed him to let go of his obsession with "Mo Tian", and with this mysterious enhanced perception, to understand the seven fragment lands in his Dantian and discern the mysterious arts of the seven laws.

After an unknown length of time, he suddenly felt that he could leverage the seven fragment lands in his Dantian to move the seven continents of the Fifth Realm!

The seven fragment lands in his Dantian were formed by the convergence of the Filth Alien Power that filled the seven continents and incorporated the underlying laws of the continents.

Previously, his understanding had not been deep or detailed, but now he suddenly understood.

"The seven continents and the seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars are essentially a complete Array. By using the seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars, one can leverage the power of those seven continents to suppress the Black Phoenix below."

"You could also use the power of the seven continents to restrict the ascent of the Alien Tribes’ strong ones, and even restrict the surge of Filth Alien Power."

"The seven continents of the Fifth Realm can be seen as seven enormous artifacts, concealing immense power within them!"

As if a special "Divine Orifice" had been opened, Pang Jian’s understanding of some mysterious laws between heaven and earth had improved by leaps and bounds.

At the same time, he used the Mo Tian above the Dantian Fragment Land in his Dantian to sense the Demon Element Power Deep Sea where he was currently located.

His spiritual consciousness, dispersed within the Mo Tian within his body, adopted a new way to perceive and gradually became aware of a novel Demon Tao.

It was the Demon Tao of the Mo Tian Overlord.

This Demon Tao pursued unbounded freedom, indulging one’s true thoughts within the heart without any restraint.

If you wish to kill, then kill; if you desire to enjoy fine food, wine, or company, then indulge without inhibition.

If you wish to fall into depravity or be lazy, then fully indulge all thoughts, whether good, bad, detrimental, or beneficial to oneself.

If it is indeed your true desire, then go forth and realize it with all your might.

Disregard moral rules, ignore societal views, and do not compromise your heart for anyone.

Also, don’t consider the consequences.

If you encounter someone or something that displeases you along the way and you feel annoyance in your heart, wipe them out with a flick of your hand, regardless of the consequences.

When you meet a woman you like, regardless of whether she is already spoken for or whether she reciprocates your feelings.

If you want her, then go get her, never considering whether the woman is willing or how her man would seek vengeance.

The path of Mo Tian is to always stay true to one’s own heart’s desires, doing everything possible to satisfy one’s own emotions and desires.

This Demon Tao can involve looting and murder or performing acts of kindness everywhere.

— As long as the person feels happy.

Understanding the Demon Tao pursued by Mo Tian, Pang Jian could imagine what a brilliant and unconventional life this overlord, born in the Misty Sea World, must have had.

Mo Tian, absolutely a person of extreme obsession and madness, such extremely selfish Demon Tao would undoubtedly bring boundless calamities upon him.

His Demon Tao was even more peculiar than that of Thunder God, and his actions were sure to offend many.

Though he had no concerns, his fall must also have been related to the Demon Tao he pursued.

Having understood the Great Tao pursued by Mo Tian, Pang Jian had absolutely no desire to emulate it.

"I only hope the robe he left behind doesn’t carry such restrictions, and it’s not necessary to plunge into his Demon Tao or inherit his mantle to obtain it."

After a long while, Pang Jian once again touched the "Mo Tian" and tried pulling it downward.

Now aware of Mo Tian’s Great Tao, he then activated the seven laws of the Dantian Fragment Land, suddenly feeling seven massive forces from the lands of the Fifth Realm bolstering him.

The seven continents and seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars together constructed a terrifying array, which he managed to pry open.

He appropriated power that shouldn’t have belonged to him!

Thus, the Demon Element Sky Curtain that had separated the Fifth Realm and the Fourth Realm and kept the Fifth Realm in eternal darkness was slowly pulled down by Pang Jian from the sky.

Dim light from the upper world filtered through.

The common folk of the Fifth Realm, looking up at what seemed to be the eternally unchanged sky curtain, saw for the first time the many Fragment Lands floating in the vast void.

That was the Fourth Realm!
