The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 815 - 775: Igniting Everything

Chapter 815: Chapter 775: Igniting Everything

"Hei."

Pang Jian murmured in his heart.

A sense of bleakness burgeoned within him.

The Black Dragon King, with its head and limbs severed, had not a single drop of mythical blood flowing from its corpse.

This was because the Extreme Cold Alien Power had frozen its body.

Even its severed head and the pieces of its body were still radiating Bright Divine Power.

Clearly, it was Luo Hongyan who had delivered the killing blow.

She was the Sovereign who, with the Power of Light, formed a blade sharp beyond compare and decapitated both its head and body.

"Hei, can you still hear my voice?" Pang Jian inquired.

The dismembered Black Dragon King sent no response, and the Demon Heart remained silent as well.

It seemed as though it had long been dead.

Suppressing the sadness and anger in his heart, Pang Jian leveraged the faintest Soul Sensing to scrutinize the battlefield as closely as possible, trying to fathom what exactly had taken place.

He also sought to gauge the current situations of Luo Hongyan and Yan Lie through the state of the battlefield.

He quickly noticed a source of light releasing from above the Black Phoenix Demon Body.

That was the burning "Qi Xu."

After being possessed by the Original Demon, who saw it as a mere vessel for a Demon Body, the corpse of "Qi Xu," its Spiritual Soul, and Divine Artifact were all burning together, resembling a colossal fireball.

At the claw section of one piece of Hei’s body, there was another strong being’s corpse, torn and shattered.

That was Jingsha.

With the help of the Black Phoenix, which greatly increased the power and combat strength of the Black Dragon King, "Qi Xu" was destroyed in battle, leaving the Original Demon without a vessel.

Jingsha, too, must have fallen under the Black Dragon King’s slaughter.

The Black Dragon King, who had severely wounded the Original Demon and killed Jingsha with the cooperation of the Original Demon, Yan Lie, Shajia, Aman, and Jingsha, must have been incredibly powerful before his head was severed.

As the mightiest blade personally chosen by the Black Phoenix and naturally attuned to darkness in its bloodline, it had played a crucial role in the conflict.

But in the end, it still lost.

At this very moment, this Black Dragon King, empowered by the Black Phoenix, was at the end of its tether.

Clusters of azure-black Demon Souls wandered within its brain, Demon Heart, and the severed dragon bones.

Those Demon Souls belonged to the Original Demon.

This Strange Demon, who sought an opportunity to become the Sovereign in Purgatory, might have been exploited by Luo Hongyan as a tool and paid a hefty price for it.

The Original Demon was now gathering the strength it had lost in battle using the Black Dragon King’s Demon Soul and remnants.

In the calm expanse of void, that Black Phoenix, bigger than any continent in Purgatory, was enveloped by a halo that was the ultimate shade of black.

Destruction, devastation, venom, and the stench of corruption spread out from the black halo.

The corpse of the Black Phoenix had become a peculiar source of energy.

Yet, for some unknown reason, Luo Hongyan had not harvested this mighty energy, had not integrated it into her own body.

It might also be because Luo Hongyan simply did not possess the strength to extract the core secrets within the Black Phoenix for the time being.

Therefore, she needed the combined fates of three others, to forge the God Statuses of life, darkness, and flame before, with a more formidable power, acquiring everything she desired from the remains of the Black Phoenix.

The tragic state of Hei, marked by the key roles of Light and Extreme Cold Divine Power, indicated that Luo Hongyan had exerted great effort in that fierce war.

Returning to Bagua City, did Luo Hongyan instruct Yan Lie to strike at her because she felt she was truly unworthy, or because she too was weakened now?

"Pang Jian?"

The chilling voice of the Original Demon emanated quietly from the brain of the Black Dragon King, "I’ll tell you a secret, the most important power of that fallen Black Phoenix has already been successfully transferred. The rebirth path of the Black Phoenix is not limited to this Demon Race body."

"In Purgatory, every ancient demon clan powerhouse, every newborn demon god, might be His reincarnation!"

"He used me, then simply threw the Black Dragon King’s body at me, never allowing me to touch the remains of the Black Phoenix."

"You... huh! Mo Tian’s robe!"

"Whoosh!"

The force of death erupted violently within the body of the Black Dragon King, breaking the soul connection between Pang Jian and the Black Dragon King and making further communication with the Original Demon impossible.

Amid the rolling Demon Yuan Power that forged the pitch-black sky curtain, Pang Jian’s eyes glittered with disorder; he glanced down at Luo Hongyan.

Standing on the rooftop of the City Lord Mansion, He, with abyss-like eyes full of indifference, said, "I will promise you one more thing. Once Pang Jian has died, that demonic robe will belong to you as well."

These words were meant for the Original Demon to hear.

"The body of the Black Dragon King, the robe of Mo Tian, the true essence of the Demon Path in Purgatory. If you cannot ascend to become a Sovereign with all of these, then that is your own problem."

He did not shun the presence of Pang Jian.

In His words, a powerful self-assurance was evident; He was indifferent as to whether the Original Demon could become a Sovereign or not.

—What He was pursuing was the Realm of the Divine King.

By capturing all the mysteries of the Black Phoenix and integrating the ultimate of brightness and darkness, and then fusing malevolent divine powers such as destruction, toxic, erosion, and more, He could attempt to break through to the Realm of the Divine King.

Once He became a Divine King, what would it matter if the Outer Realm Heaven Demon Clan gained an Original Demon as Sovereign?

At that time, He would be the Divine King of all gods in the Hall of Gods, with even the Original Demon under His command.

Diverting some things and giving the Original Demon a chance to become a Sovereign was something He could tolerate happening.

"Yan Lie, take action."

He signaled once more.

"Boom!"

As soon as the words fell, Fire God Yan Lie instantly released his staggering true God Spirit form.

His Domain of God also unfolded.

"Crackle!"

The Demon Yuan Power Deep Sea was suddenly ignited, and countless evil thoughts and malevolent ideas all became tinder that enhanced the flames.

"The Flame Law I have comprehended can burn everything: souls, thoughts, emotions and desires, artifacts, essence steel, water—everything will ignite within my Domain of God."

Yan Lie grinned, saying, "Pang Jian, if this demonic robe was in the hands of Fahua or He Motian, I might have difficulty contending with it."

"As for you..."

He shook his head contemptuously and said, "You are not of a high enough godhood level to unleash the true power of this robe; even with it, you are no match for me."

The fierce Domain of God spread outward from the Demon Yuan Power Deep Sea, igniting all that was flammable.

"Zzt!"

The crimson, ghostly lightning was the Flame Law that Yan Lie had comprehended over a long stretch of time; they roamed throughout the sea of fire, intensifying the inferno.

Gazing at those crimson wisps of lightning, even Pang Jian’s Divine Consciousness felt an unbearable scorching heat, as if his own soul were ablaze.

The High God Yan Lie was indeed extraordinary.

"Frost."

Pang Jian uttered a divine sound.

In the surging Demon Yuan Power Deep Sea, Extreme Cold Power spread, creating icy mountains and stars, spawning within this bizarre void.

Other ice-cold Demon Realms also instantly connected with the demonic robe, pouring chilling currents into it.

Glaciers, ice stars, and the ultimate cold currents entered Yan Lie’s Domain of God, clashing headlong with the crimson lightning-like Flame Laws.
