The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 811 - 771: God Commencement Realm

Chapter 811: Chapter 771: God Commencement Realm

The knowledge contained within the nine strands of fate left Pang Jian astonished.

He had not expected that after the Human Race’s successful Divine Enthronement, the subsequent cultivation system would exist within the fate of Netherworld Prison!

How could this be possible?

Could it be that the cultivation direction of the Human Race after becoming gods was consistent with that of the Netherworld God?

Infinite doubts surfaced in Pang Jian’s heart.

Netherworld Prison, Purgatory—these two different "prison" realms had the same nature’s spiritual energy and shared the same fate.

Although the structures of these two realms were different, the Nether Tribe and the Human Race born within them had many similarities.

Both the Nether Tribe and the Human Race lacked special bloodlines and were born with frail bodies.

However, compared to the Human Race, the souls of the Nether Tribe were much stronger from an early stage.

Besides that, be it in appearance or the use of various powers, both races were very similar.

The cultivation system of the Human Race before becoming gods, starting from the Spirit Condensation Realm, focused on the tempering and refinement of the Spiritual Soul.

It was as if it was meant to adapt to the soul system in the future.

After becoming gods, there were the realms of God Commencement, Godly Manifestation, and God Dominion.

Detailed descriptions of these three realms, along with the merging of fate, Spiritual Soul, and Spiritual Power, were imprinted in his newly formed Primordial Spirit Body through the memories of streaming light.

This enabled Pang Jian to immediately know that the knowledge within the fate was exactly the cultivation direction he needed to follow!

"Huff! Huff, huff!"

Powerful, pure Spiritual Power flowed into his Primordial Spirit Body, neither crystal nor jade.

Mystical strands of fate turned into the bones, viscera, and flesh of this Divine Body, key in making the Spiritual Soul materialize.

In no time, the Divine Bones and the divine viscera he possessed before his Primordial Spirit shattered were successfully condensed.

During his Divine Enthronement in Purgatory, a strand of fate provided his Immortal Primordial Spirit with an outer shell.

Inside this shell thrived nature’s spiritual energy.

Afterward, he pulled out forces like metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunderbolt, lightning, darkness, Demon Element Power, and other Alien Powers from his flesh and blood to create Divine Bones and organs within the Primordial Spirit Body.

This time was completely different!

The nine strands of Netherworld Prison’s fate poured into him all at once, allowing him to directly use the magical power of fate to form each Divine Bone and his viscera.

Within the golden Divine Bones were the laws of thunder and lightning, coiling like pythons, with traces of Cold Ice that left deep marks.

There were also demonic skills and Dark Divine Abilities engraved upon the bones.

Each of the cavities glowed with the brilliance of stars and the light of the sun and moon.

The profound mysteries of the Great Tao he had previously comprehended were now naturally reflected with the formation of every piece of Divine Bone.

The viscera, also formed by fate, radiated a new vitality from the five fundamental elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

He suddenly realized that the Great Tao Law that belonged to him hadn’t truly disappeared!

As long as he returned, as long as he reforged his Divine Body, the profound principles he had grasped would once again manifest!

"The undying Soul Fire carries all truths!" Pang Jian felt a surge of joy and murmured, "After Divine Enthronement comes God Commencement."

With a thought, his Primordial Spirit Body, initially displaying golden color during its initial stage, flowed with a seven-colored halo once again due to the changes in the viscera within the chest.

His path to Divine Enthronement was indeed forged in an extremely short time, and he began advancing toward the next realm!

"Whoosh!"

The dazzling seven-colored Divine Body suddenly transformed into countless streams of light and rainbows, into a mysterious arch bridge, into a glistening creek, and into dreamy light and shadows.

These light and shadows were of the God Spirits he had slain, of the Ancient Demon Gods of the seven continents of Purgatory, and also bore traces of the Thunder God and Ice Demon.

Every place where he had contemplated the mysteries of the Tao left an imprint, which would slightly manifest during this special phase.

"Huff! Huff, huff!"

His body freely shifted shapes.

He could become anything he was aware of, able to gather and separate at will, and this was an aspect of the God Commencement Realm.

"My former Immortal Primordial Spirit was at the God Commencement Realm, but I didn’t understand its wonders. The teachings of the Stone Eater were informing me what effects the Primordial Spirit of the God Commencement Realm could wield."

Pang Jian suddenly came to a realization.

When he was not shattered by the Old Ape, he was at the God Commencement Realm, corresponding to a Middle-level God.

Now, after he had reshaped his Primordial Spirit Body, he returned to the God Commencement Realm in a very short time!

In his mind, more secrets of the God Commencement Realm became profound all at once.

He realized his understanding of the God Commencement Realm was not deep enough, and the power he could possess in this realm was far more than what he had controlled before.

"God Commencement Realm, I must first solidify this realm!"

Pang Jian tempered his Primordial Spirit above the Sea of Souls and was in no hurry to manifest in the world.

...

Meanwhile, in the world above.

"Bai Zi!"

Long Di’s furious divine shout caused the ocean to stir up massive waves.

"It’s too late, he’s too fast." Bai Zi finally responded with a tone of indifference, "He is different from us, he has past experience with successful Divine Enthronement. Moreover, the Sea of Souls in Netherworld Prison and the nature’s spiritual energy of this world are cooperating with him to the greatest extent."

"I can’t stop it, nor do I intend to."

"After all, he is the son of my mentor."

Upon sensing that Pang Jian had successfully achieved godhood, Bai Zi explained the situation, "He also belongs to the Netherworld Prison. As long as the Sea of Souls accepts him, he’s entitled to accomplish Divine Enthronement in accordance with the rules, which is a tradition since ancient times."

"But his Divine Enthronement will endanger the current state of the Netherworld Prison!" Long Di’s agitated voice resonated in Bai Zi’s mind, "I must fully control the power of the Netherworld Prison to defeat that invading Old Ape and ensure the Nether Tribe remains the master of this world!"

"That is your problem," Bai Zi said indifferently.

"Bai Zi! As a Realm God of the Netherworld Prison, how can you protect an outsider?" Long Di said in anger.

"I’ve said it, if the Sea of Souls accepts him, then he is not an outsider," Bai Zi’s tone turned cold, "It’s a done deal, stop thinking otherwise. Once he emerges from the Sea of Souls, he will be one of our Nether Tribe. He will join you and me to confront the Old Ape."

"That’s his duty as well!"

Having said that, Bai Zi no longer paid attention to Long Di.

...

Purgatory, Saint Spirit Continent.

"Howl!"

"Roar!"

In the towering mountains, two colossal creatures were locked in combat.

Fighting so fiercely that the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light.

"Yuan Qi, do you really have to fight with me?"

The Ice Armor Eel Dragon, with a body resembling a Panshi Fragment Land, writhed in an expanse of void water it had created, grappling with a Giant Ape whose body emanated an extreme cold and ghostly lightning.

Both were old acquaintances who had once lived in Panshi Fragment Land and were friends of Pang Jian.

But now they fought each other unabated.

After the fallen hegemonic Old Dragon, a position of Demon God was vacated, sparking a contest among the various Demon Kings.

Yuan Qi and the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, through brutal battles of Demon Kings, had each killed two peer Demon Kings, engulfing their Demon Hearts in attempts to ascend to Demon Godhood, but neither had succeeded.

Having no choice, these two most powerful Demon Kings had to adhere to the harsh laws of Demon God succession to settle the outcome.

"Even if I withdraw now, you won’t be able to ascend smoothly to Demon Godhood. Since both of us have embarked on this path, ultimately, only one can live," Yuan Qi said, his ice blue alien eyes filled with a calm indifference as he had seen through it all.

"That Black Dragon and Mysterious Turtle managed to ascend to Demon God by leveraging Filthy Essence, why couldn’t they have done it without this cruel method?" roared the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, spewing hail and clusters of lightning.

"I’m not sure, but with the multiple Bloodlines in your body, you are actually more suited to use the power from below to transform into a Demon God," Yuan Qi said.

"But I want to get out! I want to leave this damn place; I don’t want to stay in Purgatory anymore!" The Ice Armor Eel Dragon twisted its massive body out of Yuan Qi’s grasp and said, "I remember that I became a Demon God with Filthy Essence before, but I can’t get out!"

Yuan Qi, with a giant hand covered in dense fur, reached through the hail and lightning, tearing at the scale armor of the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, and said coldly, "Sorry, I want to get out too."

"Howl!"

In agony, the Ice Armor Eel Dragon screeched, quickly widening the gap between them.

On distant mountaintops.

The Old Rock Bear, the White Fox Demon King, and some weaker ninth-tier Demon Kings, along with dragons transformed into human form, all quietly observed the battle.

The White Fox Demon King, perched on the shoulder of the Old Rock Bear, uttered softly, "That ancient Ape is very strong."

"His Bloodline is exceptionally extraordinary, infused with a vitality that can be called terrifying. You must have also noticed that, in terms of the toughness and recovery ability of his Demon Body, not even ninth-tier dragons can compete with him," The Rock Bear remarked.

"Yeah, except for the legendary Heaven Phoenix that fell, it seems no one at the ninth-tier had ever reached such a level," the White Fox clicked its tongue in amazement.

"What’s odd is that I’ve never seen this ancient Ape before," said the Old Rock Bear.

"Hmm!"

"Ah!"

On nearby peaks, several ninth-tier Demon Kings suddenly cried out in shock as they looked towards the distant sky.

A giant tree bathed in thunder and lightning floated past, carried by thick clouds, with a slender figure standing at its crown.

"Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree!"

"Pure Land! Pang Lin!"

The roar of many Demon Kings thundered through these towering mountains.

In the roars, there was fury!

Everyone knew that the former leader of the Demon Race, Long Xiao, was attacked by Pu Zhaotian because he had taken a young girl hostage, resulting in several dragons dying in the Dragon Cave.

Afterward, Su Wenrou from the Pure Land personally visited, igniting the horrific "Poison Calamity" that caused the death of many more demon powerhouses.

In the end, before leaving Purgatory, Long Xiao, in a fit of rage, chose to strike at the Pure Land, directly feeding his life to the "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree."

Long Xiao’s death paved the way for a new Demon God position, leading to the strife between the Ice Armor Eel Dragon and Yuan Qi.

At the most intense moment of battle, the cause of all the trouble—Pang Lin—mysteriously appeared in the Saint Spirit Continent!

The struggle for Demon Godhood strictly forbade the intervention of foreign races!

Back then, when the Heaven Treasure Li Family meddled secretly in the struggle for Demon Godhood and Long Xiao found out, he immediately instructed Long Yan to eliminate Li Jie as a way to retaliate against the Li Family.

Previously, the Li Family acted covertly and discreetly, but this time Pang Lin’s presence was so open and blatant.

This was a blatant provocation to all the Ancient Demon Clan!
