The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 822 - 782: I’m willing to believe you!

Chapter 822: Chapter 782: I’m willing to believe you!

Pang Lin’s remaining humanity, like a wisp of light smoke, dissipated.

After her brief reappearance, Pang Jian personally extinguished her chance of survival, and she ceased to exist.

The last smile that graced her beautiful face was forever imprinted deep within Pang Jian’s soul, never to be extinguished.

"I’m sorry..."

In the brilliantly glowing sea of soul consciousness, Pang Jian’s voice echoed with a melancholic loss.

Every word carried a tone of helplessness.

The Li Ren You Ying, bearing many Spiritual Soul secret skills, continued to emit piercing sword light, causing the God Status, forged by the Outer Realm Sovereign with Purgatory Luck, to shatter even faster.

The God Status shattered like Ice Crystals, falling from the sky.

Below, the Dark Canopy Boat, sailing in the deep sea of light, swiftly collected the fragmented crystal blocks of God Status.

Containing the profound mysteries of the Great Tao of light, death, life, and Cold Ice, countless memories flickered, entering Pang Jian’s mind through this boat, formed by his divine consciousness.

Without any need for Pang Jian to remember deliberately, they naturally became imprinted in his memory.

However, the essence belonging to Luo Hongyan was gradually fading in this process.

Pang Jian tried to sense with his soul, but still could not distinguish whether those fragmented wills were Luo Hongyan’s divine consciousness or the humanity that He nurtured in the Purgatory World.

"Goodbye, Pang Jian."

"Goodbye."

Luo Hongyan’s last words resounded repeatedly in the vast sea of Pang Jian’s spirit, causing the real-world Pang Jian to stand rigidly motionless.

A long, long time passed.

"I’m sorry, I truly didn’t dare to gamble."

Pang Jian’s eyes, mixed with pain, enveloped Luo Hongyan’s body with the "Thunder Pond."

"Snap! Crack!"

Countless Thunderous Lightning, like thin hair-like Electric Snakes, poured into her body, forged by the Sovereign in the Purgatory.

However, not a single Thunderous Lightning entered his Sea of Soul Consciousness.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Four crystalline auroras burst forth from the top of Luo Hongyan’s head, heading straight for the "Heaven Forbidden" in the First Realm.

Three of these auroras were as vivid as dazzling rainbows, exuding a mysterious and lofty essence.

Yet there was one crystalline aurora that was utterly black inside its deepest core.

It was a degree of blackness that Pang Jian had only truly seen in the Seventh Realm.

The black became the base color of this crystalline aurora, as if it had altered the very nature of fate.

Just by gazing at this blackness, the first thing that came to Pang Jian’s mind was the Demon Sovereign who had perished in the Seventh Realm.

He seemed to see an unimaginably vast Black Phoenix, emitting a cry that trembled the soul, proudly soaring through the Boundless Star River.

Wherever the Black Phoenix went, the brilliantly starry Star River was smeared with ink, covered by the ultimate black.

Wherever He wished, His presence could instantly turn that place into His Dark God Domain.

He was the ultimate answer to darkness, the shore at the end of this Divine Tao.

"Black Phoenix!"

Pang Jian was profoundly shaken.

At this moment, he finally realized why Luo Hongyan had mysteriously failed!

The fourth stroke of fate he had tried desperately to intercept, yet hadn’t truly stopped, had been tampered with by that Black Phoenix!

The fourth stroke of fate became a terrifying assassination tool aimed at Luo Hongyan!

Confident in her certain victory, Luo Hongyan was in an absolute position of advantage.

She had just severed the body of the Black Dragon King, she saw the victory, thinking she was about to secure the final triumphant outcome.

Yet, she had suddenly collapsed on top of this fourth stroke of fate!

"So that was it."

Pang Jian’s face turned pale with horror. He looked around and spread out his divine consciousness to sense.

Because he suddenly felt that the Filth Alien Power that filled the Fifth Realm all bore the aura of that Black Phoenix.

"Huh!"

The crystalline aura with a black core, while heading towards the "Heaven Forbidden" of the First Realm, suddenly started to change direction, rushing toward the location of Saint Spirit Continent in the Second Realm.

"Pang Lin!"

Somehow, he instinctively felt that this stroke of fate, which caused Luo Hongyan’s failure, was definitely related to Pang Lin!

He wanted to immediately leave everything behind and follow this stroke of fate to the Saint Spirit Continent to see what was really going on.

But...

The shattered God Status of Luo Hongyan, the fragments of God Status in her mind, remained the most precious things in the world.

He was still not sure if Luo Hongyan had truly perished, and should he recklessly leave, he didn’t know if other accidents might occur.

If Luo Hongyan were to somehow revive, and survive against all odds, wouldn’t that lead the entire Human Race towards the brink of extinction?

"Your sister is safe, please watch over God Luo, and try to deprive him of any remaining God Status."

"Pang Jian, that is also the source of your continuous strength."

"Please seize the opportunity."

The voice of the Mysterious Turtle quietly emerged.

He had actually become a mid-ranked Demon God in a short span of time, and had crossed over to the Sixth Realm, reaching the ultimate dark domain where the Black Phoenix Demon Body floated.

"Original Demon!"

The Mysterious Turtle roared in this world.

The Black Phoenix, whose wings were as vast as continents, suddenly unleashed an endless, profound power from within its wings!

A thick Filth Alien Power, mixed with forces of destruction, devastation, corrosion, and deadly alien power, surged into the severed corpse of the Black Dragon King!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

Dozens of demon souls split off, devouring the Dragon Soul of the Black Dragon King, attempting to refine the dragon’s body into spectral demon shadows.

"Another Demon God!"

Multiple demon-shaped shadows, transformed from the original demons, cried out upon seeing the Mysterious Turtle arrive, "What is God Luo doing? How could He allow someone like you to descend here?"

"That incarnation of God Luo in Purgatory is on the verge of collapse," the Mysterious Turtle sneered.

After the sneer, the Mysterious Turtle communicated again via soul transmission, "Pang Jian, the alliance our Ancient Demon Clan formed with your father has been renewed upon my awakening."

"Ancient Demon Clan and Human Race are forever allies in Purgatory, destined to unite against external divine spirits."

"Please keep an eye on that incarnation of God Luo, and watch that high-rank god named Yan Lie. Leave the underworld to me."

"Don’t worry, I will bring the Black Dragon King back to life.

The Mysterious Turtle made an assurance.

Upon reaching level ten blood-return and transforming into a low-rank god, He broke through once again in the Sixth Realm, becoming a mid-rank Demon God like the Black Dragon King.

He had clearly undergone a radical transformation.

He had recalled everything he had experienced in the past and seemed to know what would happen in the future.

"I want my sister Pang Lin safe! Mysterious Turtle, you have to promise me!"

Pang Jian from the Fifth Realm, watching three fates soar towards the "Heaven Forbidden" and another special fate passing over the Saint Spirit Continent towards the Boundary Wall in the Mysterious Fog of the Second Realm.

He had good reason to suspect that the Black Phoenix, using the inherited Divine Bones of the Heaven Phoenix, successfully possessed his sister.

And it was very likely that the Mysterious Turtle was persuaded by the Black Phoenix.

Now, everything the Mysterious Turtle is doing for Luo Hongyan is shadowed by that Black Phoenix, and he should have the ability to communicate with it.

"Pang Jian, I promise you!"

"On behalf of our entire Ancient Demon Clan, in the name of the Mysterious Turtle, I assure you your sister is safe!"

"She has not been possessed; she’s alive and well, and she always will be!"

"Pang Jian, I guarantee our Ancient Demons have no ill intentions towards your sister!"

The Mysterious Turtle gave his promise without hesitation.

"Boom!"

His enormously enlarged, vast demon body shook the dark and void world, bursting forth with endless grey-yellow Divine Power!

Chunks of dazzling Fragment Land and earth were created by His Divine Power, becoming marvels within His God’s Domain, engulfing the demon-shaped original demons and the shattered body of the Black Dragon King.

"I trust you! Mysterious Turtle, I am willing to trust you!"

Pang Jian of the Fifth Realm focused intensely on the collapsing Luo Hongyan, exerting all his strength to suppress any sliver of a Soul Breath that might revive him.

...

The Second Realm.

Zhu Ji, embodying the grand "Divine Dharma Aspect," manipulated the vast nature’s spiritual energy, battling Shajia next to an uninhabited Fragment Land.

Shajia grasped the staff of Brightness, her twelve pairs of white wings radiating blinding light, gathering the Star and Moonlight divine power of the celestial heavens in herself and her twelve pairs of wings.

"Illuminate the world, dazzle humanity, and make all creatures believe in light."

"Our Supreme God Luo is the Supreme God of light."

"Thus, all beings who yearn for light are followers of our Supreme God, bathed in divine light, feeling the light through their souls."

Shajia chanted, citing the teachings of light from God Luo.

Thousands of rays of light transformed into divine swords, long blades, droplets, flowers, earth, and stars, swirling around Zhu Ji’s "Divine Dharma Aspect," eroding his thick Spiritual Power Strong Shield.

...

Elsewhere.

Pu Zhaotian, Li Wang, and Li Yuqing among other True Gods, encircled Aman, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains.

Without a God Commencement Realm powerhouse here, they had to rally more True Gods, hoping to overwhelm Aman with numbers, preventing him from acting as he pleased.

"You, Pei Yishan!"

The deep red light in Aman’s single eye settled on Pei Yishan’s body.

This True God, infused with the essence of the Desolated Terrains, felt the restraint of the Great Tao, everything feeling amiss.

"Begone!"

The Cyclops, hailing from the Giant Spirit Race, tore apart strings of talisman chains, punching through the air towards Dong Shangqing’s "Divine Dharma Aspect."

With a "bang," Dong Shangqing’s "Divine Dharma Aspect" shattered.

Returned to his original form, Dong Shangqing gave a bitter smile saying, "I truly can’t keep up with the times."

"River of Destiny."

Because nearby, Li Yuqing swung his Divine Sword, and as he struck at Aman, he unexpectedly condensed a mysterious river encapsulating Aman’s entire past life.

After destroying his "Divine Dharma Aspect," Aman’s subsequent second punch was forcefully halted by Li Yuqing’s strike.

Because of this, he narrowly escaped.

"After this fight, no matter the outcome, I will leave Purgatory." Dong Shangqing murmured bitterly.

"Hmm!"

Li Wang, unable to hold back any longer under the Star and Moonlight, suddenly cried out in alarm.

Startled, he watched three crystal-like glows rise from the Filth Alien Power-infested world below, quickly appearing in his sight.
