The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 823 - 783: The Anomalies of Two Worlds

Chapter 823: Chapter 783: The Anomalies of Two Worlds

Under the starry sky ablaze with brilliant stars, those three crystalline rays of light still appeared dazzling and bright.

The light they emitted, the aura they radiated, sent shivers through all the true gods and the strongest among the alien tribes.

What exactly had happened?

Speculation couldn’t help but arise among the crowd.

Each ray of crystalline light represented a mysterious fortune from Purgatory, which only manifested rapidly after the fall of a true god.

But in the world below, how could there be so many true gods falling?

Dong Tianze? Wu Yuan?

Li Wang’s expression changed dramatically, suspecting that Wu Yuan, located in the Xuan You Continent, and Dong Tianze, who had disappeared into the void outside of Eastland, had been killed by a strong hand arranged by Luo Hongyan.

Otherwise, he couldn’t explain why three fortunes had reappeared.

"There’s another one!"

Pu Zhaotian exclaimed.

Li Wang, Pei Yishan, Dong Shangqing, Su Wenrou, and the other true gods, unable to detect it, watched as the fourth fortune rushed towards the Mysterious Fog adjacent to Saint Spirit Continent.

This caught even Pu Zhaotian, who had a profound connection with Heaven Forbidden, off guard.

Every time a true god fell, a fortune would reemerge. Just as a magnet attracts iron filings, all fortune would return to the "Heaven Forbidden," which had given birth to it.

This was an inherent rule of the Great Tao in the world, almost impossible to deviate from.

Even if there were exceptionally brilliant individuals at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm during this period, it was difficult for them to attract the returning fortune of "Heaven Forbidden" to aid their ascension as a brand-new true god.

The fortune must return to "Heaven Forbidden," which erases the remnants left by the previous true god, before it could be drawn upon anew.

This rule of the Great Tao Law became apparent to Pu Zhaotian when he merged with "Heaven Forbidden."

But now, the ancient Great Tao Law from "Heaven Forbidden" had been clearly broken by someone!

"Who is it?"

Pu Zhaotian felt an urge to follow the fortune and see who was involved, even disregarding the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains, Aman.

"Our Sir Yan Lie has enough strength to kill Pang Jian first, and then annihilate the other true gods of the human race. The reappearance of fortune is ironclad evidence of this."

Aman’s boisterous and wild voice exploded from the fragments of land and meteorites.

A silver and delicately shaped mountain, like a stamp, crossed over the fragment land and meteorites, hurtling towards the inverted nine-story tower.

In the inverted tower, numerous windows flung open suddenly, with myriads of sword lights and Spirit Swords, Divine Swords together, collided with the stamp-like mountain as a river of sword light.

Endless True Essence of Sword Tao mingled with the Divine Power inside the stamp, sparking the void, the "ding-dong" sound incessant to the ear.

"Miss Li, don’t push me!"

Aman’s deep red single eye revealed uncontrollable rage, and he thundered, "The Sovereign has ordered us to give you a chance to survive in this world! Miss, don’t be ungrateful!"

In his single eye, the imprint of Li Yuqing grew more profound.

He had already locked onto Li Yuqing with an unmanifested murderous essence, yet he had been forcefully restraining his desire to kill.

Because he had never left Purgatory, he was unaware that behind Li Yuqing stood the God of Destiny from the depths of the Star River.

The command he received was not to kill Li Yuqing.

Yet the "force of destiny" displayed by this newly ascended true god was frighteningly powerful, leaving him feeling hampered.

Dong Shangqing was rescued, his attack on Li Wang thwarted, and even Pei Yishan was saved by Li Yuqing using the same tactic.

This was becoming unbearable for Aman.

"I am a member of the human race, and my homeland is about to be destroyed by you. I cannot stand by and do nothing!"

Li Yuqing held a sword in one hand and the "Pearl of Destiny" in the other, speaking with her heart, "No matter what, I must protect the land where I was born!"

Far away in the starry sky, the God of Destiny smiled faintly and responded softly, "Follow your heart."

"Then you seek your own death!" Aman roared.

The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains, overwhelmed by hatred due to the death of Old Thunder Dragon, saw the image of Li Yuqing in his deep red single eye suddenly shred to pieces.

Deep red lightning slashed through Li Yuqing’s image within the depths of his single eye.

Each streak of deep red lightning, born from a drop of his essence blood, contained the true essence of his Giant Spirit Race’s bloodline.

"Shadow Cut!"

A dull roar erupted from Aman’s throat.

Li Yuqing, wielding the Sky-splitting Sword, her tall and striking figure, beneath her clothing, her skin suddenly appeared with dozens of fine wounds.

She was severely injured in an instant!

Her Qi and Blood, limbs, and Spiritual Energy became chaotic due to her grievous physical injuries, making it harder for her to manipulate "the River of Destiny" with her Divine Sword, and naturally, she could no longer use her past experiences to constrain Aman.

"Whoosh!"

At the critical moment, it was the inconspicuous "Pearl of Destiny," radiating a faint mystical light, that protected her.

"Purgatory has many opportunities and many dangers; you must also be careful yourself."

The gentle voice of the God of Destiny seemed to travel from another dimension directly to the "Pearl of Destiny" in her palm, untangling the chaotic Qi within her body, helping to mitigate her injuries.

"God Luo’s incarnation in Purgatory has been defeated, and this war here will soon end. You just take care of yourself," said the God of Destiny once more.

Li Yuqing, her skin beneath her clothes tearing open, was startled by these words, "The Sovereign has been defeated? What exactly is going on?"

...

In the same Second Realm.

The Yao Clan chieftain, who had ascended to the position of a Middle-level God, stood within a magnificent Sun God Palace, his towering figure covered in golden Divine Armor, his face conveying seriousness.

Built with bricks and tiles of colored glaze, gold, and gemstones, and inlaid with numerous bright pearls and white jade railings, the "Sun God Palace" was the greatest spectacle in His God’s domain.

It was also His currently strongest Divine Secret Technique.

Any opponent not as powerful as He, who dared to invade His Sun God Domain, who dared to enter this "Sun God Palace," would most likely meet with a fate worse than death.

Yet...

"Ooo, ooo!"

A ferocious Giant Ape, which was currently rampaging inside the Sun God Palace He had created, was using its brute and unreasonable strength to shatter one "sun" after another.

By the time the twelfth "sun" was obliterated by the Ape’s brute force, Lie Yang was somewhat bewildered.

How could this be?

He began to wonder whether the "Sun God Canon" He had contemplated was a substandard product given by Sir Yan Lie.

Otherwise, how could this freshly ascended Demon God, the Giant Ape, run amok in His Sun God Palace?

Indeed, Demon Gods of the Ancient Demon Clan were powerful, certainly a cut above Human True Gods of the same level, let alone God Spirits of Alien Tribes like Himself.

This fact He willingly acknowledged.

But He was a solid Middle-level God, and Yuan Qi a Low-rank God, so how could He be so unrestrained within the Sun God Palace?

Lie Yang couldn’t figure it out.

...

"Yuan Qi is so strong!"

In the outer void of the Saint Spirit Continent, Level Ten Old Rock Bear and the White Fox Demon King, shrunken down to their Human Race bodies, hid within a cloud, watching the battle between Lie Yang and Yuan Qi from afar.

They too found it unbelievable, unable to imagine that Yuan Qi, having just become a Demon God, would so quickly possess the qualifications to fight with Lie Yang.

"I received word that Lie Yang has become a Middle-level God and was even personally instructed by Sir Yan Lie! Such a person should logically only be matched by Zhu Ji, and yet..." the White Fox marveled in silence.

"There must be secrets about Yuan Qi that we are unaware of. His physical body is too terrifying. I’ve seen many of his kinds, but I’ve never seen anyone like him," Old Rock Bear remarked with a sigh.

While they were talking, they noticed a fourth qi fortune streaking over their heads before it vanished into the depths of the Mysterious Fog.

"Miss Pang, is she finally unable to hold back and ready to undertake Divine Enthronement?" exclaimed the White Fox Demon King in astonishment.

"She is a noble of our Ancient Demon Race, our blessing. Due to her arrival, the rules of the Ancient Demon Race have changed time and again, and every change has been to our advantage!" Old Rock Bear spoke with reverence, "One Pang Jian, one her; the two siblings are capable of changing the entire Purgatory World of Alien Tribes!"

With these words, the White Fox Demon King also nodded in acknowledgment, saying, "Who could say otherwise?"

...

Netherworld Prison.

Above the mysterious and unpredictable Sea of Souls.

"Huff! Huff!"

An infinite amount of nature’s spiritual energy continued to converge ceaselessly upon Pang Jian’s Immortal Primordial Spirit, and his body, which had paused at the God Commencement Realm, suddenly underwent a curious transformation.

Pieces of God Status, like shattered crystals, flashed repeatedly in his mind.

Life, death, light, Cold Ice—fragments of these higher-level True Essences of Laws emerged chaotically in his mind, failing to form a complete picture.

Despite leveraging the super-intelligence of the Sea of Souls, they could not be restored in a short amount of time.

However, another four strands of Netherworld Prison’s qi fortune were drawn because of the anomaly with the Primordial Spirit.

Inside the "Heaven Forbidden" of Netherworld Prison, four crystal-like glows of light suddenly began to descend.

If this scene were seen by the Li Wang or Pu Zhaotian in Purgatory, they would undoubtedly be shocked speechless.

The events occurring here were oddly the opposite of what was happening in Purgatory.

"Another four strands!"

Bai Zi rubbed her eyes.

Even as calm and rational as He, Her grasp on reality was entirely upended; She felt that the Netherworld Prison of Her past life was entirely different from the current one.

What kind of magic power did this foreign youngster possess that allowed him to continuously draw in more qi fortune?

Since when had the qi fortune of Netherworld Prison become so worthless?

"Bai Zi!"

"Are you just going to watch him do as he pleases in the Sea of Souls?"

"Every qi fortune he pulls is accompanied by an influx of more nature’s spiritual energy, continuously siphoning off what belongs to me."

"Bai Zi, I can’t hold on much longer!"

Long Di, as the leader of Netherworld Prison, couldn’t contain himself when he discovered another four new strands of qi fortune, accompanied by even more vast nature’s spiritual energy, moving towards the Sea of Souls where Pang Jian was.

He had the illusion that the heavens were conspiring against Him.

In the Netherworld Prison under His rule, why would another favored child of the universe emerge to snatch away everything that rightfully belonged to Him?

And why did it have to be at the critical juncture of His battle with Yuan Yi?

"I can’t manage him. Long Di, you can’t perceive the Sea of Souls, so you don’t know that his cultivation realm is advancing at a rate beyond our imagination," Bai Zi responded.

"Before, he was just in the God Commencement Realm."

"Now, with the fall of the fresh four strands of qi fortune, he’s breaking the constraints of God Commencement Realm and stepping towards the God Manifestation Realm."

"Once God Manifestation Realm is achieved, he will be able to wield the combat power of a High God, just like you and me."

"Long Di, perhaps he is the factor we need to defeat Yuan Yi and prevent this catastrophe!"
