The Purgatory Calamity

Chapter 789: Chapter 751: Spirit Race Mou Qi

"Huh!"

As Zhu Ji left, the golden bee that had appeared out of nowhere also vanished from the depths of the Prayer Spirit Forbidden Land.

Dazzling Shadow’s eyes were complex as she said, "It seems he let Zhu Ji off the hook just to save Wu Yuan."

At that moment, Qu Long, an Elder of the Demon Sect, was sweating profusely as if he had been drained of all his strength.

He watched Zhu Ji leave and said with lingering fear, "The will of Lord Hemo Tian will probably find it hard to gain a foothold in Purgatory World. Now, Zhu Ji’s realm and cultivation have surpassed all the True Gods within Purgatory since ancient times. Unless Lord He Motian’s real Demon Body comes in person, otherwise..."

He shook his head and sighed, feeling powerless.

"Purgatory has become unrecognizable to me," said another Elder, Chen Xuanfeng.

When they sensed the "Heaven Forbidden" being lifted and felt the will of the Great Demon God He Motian again, they thought their chance for a bitter struggle had come.

They thought that once Hemo Tian descended, they could easily possess Wu Yuan and take control of this Demon God with a Human Race body.

Then, using Wu Yuan’s body as a foundation, they would display terrifying Demon Might in Purgatory and reverse their declining fortunes in one fell swoop.

But Hemo Tian’s descent was aborted midway, and Zhu Ji emerged in this stronghold of the Demon Clan and Demon Sect powerhouses, nearly leveling the entire area.

"Zhu Ji’s appearance means the seal of the Fifth Realm has been lifted. All the True Gods will step out one after another," Qu Long said, rubbing his forehead and sighing, "Dazzling Shadow, what exactly are those level ten powerhouses from your Fifth Realm doing?"

Dazzling Shadow said blankly, "I don’t know."

After a pause, she spoke again, "I suddenly feel that if those Great Demon Gods from beyond the sky can’t step into Purgatory soon, they might not be able to make a decisive impact on the situation even if they come later."

At this time, Zhu Ji’s realm had already reached a breakthrough, at least equivalent to the Middle-level Gods from beyond the sky.

What about later?

With the drastic changes in Purgatory’s situation, could this silent and less spoken Human Race First True God possibly achieve another breakthrough in realm?

If he breaks through once more, not even Hemo Tian himself might be able to handle him upon arriving in Purgatory!

He had become so powerful, yet he withdrew from the Prayer Spirit Forbidden Land after Pang Jian said, "Don’t mind it."

How strong could Pang Jian be?

"Why? Why did Pang Jian ask Zhu Ji to stand down? Just for Wu Yuan?"

A Demon Heart Sect powerhouse from the Extinction Realm muttered, scratching his head, unable to understand.

...

Beyond the heavens, Moon Temple.

"Han Yi, that Pang Jian you had high hopes for must have perished in the Netherworld Prison," said Ying Yue, her brows tinged with a hint of sorrow.

The Goddess of Cold Crystal in the Divine Seat, propping her chin with her hand and speaking worriedly, said, "After his Seven-colored Divine Body fell into the Netherworld Prison, I couldn’t sense him, but I still knew he was there."

"But now, I can’t detect even a trace of him in the Netherworld Prison at all."

"Ah, he had to meddle in the recent turmoil in the Netherworld Prison, which was so terrifying. It’s truly baffling," said Ying Yue, her emotions quite complicated.

Although she repeatedly mocked Han Yi, blaming her for taking risks on Pang Jian’s behalf, and for considering Pang Jian as her hope...

She, in fact, also fantasized that Pang Jian could, just like when he killed Youkui, eradicate the approaching High God and help Han Yi get rid of the trouble once and for all.

The rapidly growing strength of Pang Jian had vanished without a trace, leaving Ying Yue with regret.

"I understand."

The Goddess of Cold Crystal, statuesque, sat on Her Extreme Cold Divine Platform, her exquisite cheeks filled with loss, and spoke faintly, "He should be arriving soon."

"I feel like it was my fault he took the risk to venture into the Netherworld Prison," she said with a desolate face, sighing. "It was the pressure I put on him."

Suddenly!

"Ying Yue! I have brought people to see you, is the Goddess of Cold Crystal there?"

The Sun God’s hearty and heroic laughter erupted from the dark starry sky beyond the moon, and soon after, numerous Three-legged Golden Crows were seen dragging a massive Divine Platform, heading toward the moon.

By the Sun God’s side, another God Spirit soared through the void, speaking indifferently, "I am Mou Qi."

His figure was tall and slender, his skin a pale green, dressed in a simple white robe, and though he did not stand on a Divine Platform, he kept pace with the Sun God effortlessly.

"Mou Qi, the Mou Qi of the Spirit Race!"

"A High God!"

"The Spirit Race is a powerful clan with a Sovereign at its helm!"

"To my knowledge, Mou Qi is also one of the most capable generals of that Spirit Race Sovereign!"

On the surface of the moon, many potentates of the Clan of Bright Moon were stirred at the mention of the name Mou Qi.

Throughout the vast Star River lived the Earth Spirit Clan, Green Spirit Tribe, Dark Spirit Clan, and others with "Spirit" in their names.

However, those clans dared not call themselves the Spirit Race.

All clans containing the character "Spirit," including but not limited to the Earth Spirit Clan, Green Spirit Tribe, and Dark Spirit Clan, held the Spirit Race in the highest regard.

This clan has always been mighty since ancient times, almost always with a Sovereign among them.

They are clearly a superior high-level clan compared to the likes of the Demon Clan and the Ghost Clan.

As a high-ranking God of the Spirit Race, deeply trusted by the Spirit Race Sovereign, Mou Qi’s appearance from thousands of miles away meant that both He Motian and the Ghost Mother needed to take the initiative to make contact.

"I didn’t expect Him to come so quickly," Han Yi’s spirit trembled.

"There are still many treasures at the Bronze-faced God’s place that haven’t been sent over, and there’s so little time!" Ying Yue also panicked, suddenly straightening her back on the Divine Seat, "Han Yi, don’t worry for now. Let’s deal with Him first. That Sun God has always been trying to please me, and He seems to know Mou Qi as well. I will ask Him to say a few good words for us."

Han Yi felt guilty, "I know you don’t like that Sun God."

"Dislike is one thing, but for your sake, I can still show Him some courtesy," Yue Ying floated off the dome, a forced smile on her stunning face, "Who would have thought that my humble abode would receive such distinguished guests, you are most welcome!"

...

In an Earth Palace situated between two stars.

Zimo shivered with cold, his face full of loathing as he retracted his dissipated Divine Consciousness, speaking coldly, "The laws of Purgatory have changed, and that Human True God named Zhu Ji has made a breakthrough, killing the host body I had chosen for arrival."

Several Ghost Clan God Spirits, sensing His poor mood, kept silent.

"The breakthrough of a Human True God means that the seal will soon be lifted!" Zimo glanced at those Ghost Clan God Spirits and said, "It won’t be long before Gods of low rank like you, and even Middle-level Gods, will be able to enter Purgatory without obstruction!"

"Eh? Mou Qi!"

"What brings Him here?"

Zimo’s Divine Consciousness stirred the waves, instantly connecting with He Motian, "Mou Qi has arrived, even making a special trip to Ying Yue’s moon. Should we go over and see what’s happening?"

"Zimo, has your body also been destroyed?" asked He Motian.

Zimo replied, "Just like you."

The two High Gods fell silent for a moment, then both flew out from their residing star realms toward the bright moon.
