The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 824 - 784

Chapter 824: 784

"God Manifestation Realm? Are you sure?"

In the Netherworld Prison, within the vast Continent where lightning intertwined.

The crystalline Divine Body that belonged to Long Di was steering the "Gathering Divine Platform," howling as it gathered power from all directions.

His expression was stern, occasionally glancing behind at the blood red, his eyes revealing unease.

In the vast expanse of blood red, a sky-supporting Giant Ape whose fur was transforming all beings and all things.

"With just one more step, he will immediately reach the God Manifestation Realm!" Bai Zi responded without hesitation.

At these words, Long Di, who was controlling the "Gathering Divine Platform," looked increasingly grim and ugly and said, "If he advances to the God Manifestation Realm, won’t it be even harder for me to control the nature’s spiritual energy in the Netherworld Prison?"

"With such an opponent to help us deal with that Old Ape, shouldn’t you feel fortunate?" Bai Zi inquired.

"Fortunate?" Long Di said coldly, scoffing, "How can you be so sure that he will stand with us and help us against that Old Ape?"

Bai Zi was silent for a moment and then said, "He is my master’s child."

Above the "Gathering Divine Platform," pain flashed through Long Di’s eyes, and his mouth twitched, but he ultimately said nothing.

"Was it you who killed my master?" Bai Zi suddenly asked.

"Are you afraid that once he becomes a God Manifestation, knowing that it was you who killed my master, he will move against you?"

"Long Di, was it really you?!"

Bai Zi said emotionally.

Suppressing his frustration for many years, he could not feel relieved until he expressed it.

He sensed Long Di’s turmoil, believing that only at the brink of a doom for Netherworld Prison would Long Di possibly reveal the truth, preparing for any unexpected developments that might occur.

After all, both he and Long Di were for the sake of Netherworld Prison; neither wanted to see it head towards destruction.

"Sigh."

The only response he received was a sigh from Long Di.

"Tsk, tsk!"

Countless dazzling Great Tao Laws suddenly entwined around the Sky-supporting Giant Ape, who struggled fiercely with them.

The sea of blood-like crimson energy, together with his fur, transformed everything and seeped into the cracks of the Continent, rushing towards those chain-like Great Tao Laws.

With the Giant Ape at its center, a bloody yet vibrant magnificent world was slowly unfolding.

In this magnificent world, each massive Ancient Demon was the supreme overlord.

Beneath the Ancient Demons lay the God Spirits of various races and all beings of each race.

Elevating the Demon Gods of the Ancient Demon Clan, one Demon King and Great Demon after another, far above all other races, was the ultimate goal pursued by this magnificent world.

This world was entrusted with the profound obsession in Yuan Yi’s heart.

Earlier, Demon Prison had already been destroyed in the vast Misty Sea; the Ancient Demon Clan in the Mysterious Fog did not have a world of their own.

All demons were now scattered in other other-worldly prisons, subjected to the oppression and control by the Alien Tribes’ warriors.

In Purgatory, the situation for the Ancient Demon Clan was the same!

Yuan Yi, a fierce Ancient Demon born in "Demon Prison," was determined to resurrect the vanished "Demon Prison" in the Misty Sea.

If he could not achieve this, he would seize the strongest of the imprisoning realms and turn it into a new "Demon Prison!"

And Netherworld Prison was his ultimate target!

By eliminating Nether Race’s Long Di and Bai Zi and slaughtering those Nether Gods and Nether Race Warriors, he would take advantage of the cataclysm that occurs once every hundred thousand years to infuse the Netherworld with Ancient Demons from various realms.

After that, upon his promotion to Sovereign, he would use the Dominion Force to alter the Great Tao Laws of the Netherworld, making it the perfect stronghold for the Ancient Demon Clan.

Thus, Netherworld would become Demon Prison, and he, Yuan Yi, would be eternally renowned!

"Demon Movement!"

The strongest Demon God in the Misty Sea pounded his chest and howled skyward.

His roar, transmitted through the Realm God Card he wore, spread from the Netherworld outward.

Many Great Demons and Demon Kings of different bloodlines, upon hearing his call, left their millennium-old imprisoning realms.

In the Misty Sea, the inherent laws being disrupted, even demons who had not ascended to God status could leave on their own.

Thus, troops gathered by the Ancient Demon Clan began advancing towards the Netherworld Realm.

Yuan Yi’s roar indicated that he was gradually sensing Long Di’s weakness and believed that this invasion he had initiated was nearing its ultimate victory.

"Netherworld will become the brand-new Demon Prison!"

"All beings in this world will bow at the feet of demons, seeing me as the supreme Demon God!"

Yuan Yi declared authoritatively.

...

Above the mysterious, azure Sea of Souls.

Pang Jian’s vibrantly colorful Primordial Spirit once again gathered four strands of destiny and, utilizing the nature’s spiritual energy, refined a purer and cleaner power.

Life, death, light, Cold Ice.

As fragments of God Status flashed through his mind, corresponding Mysteries of Law were imprinted within.

Yet these Mysteries of Law were not complete, and he found them extremely difficult to decipher through the Sea of Souls.

"Perhaps, there is another way to interpret these..."

With this thought, the laws related to the true essence of life were assimilated by Pang Jian into a liver branded with the true essence of plants.

The fragmented profound truths of life, in that lush, bizarre world, were somehow sorted out by the original laws of plants of the world, making the disjointed connect.

Even the missing parts were somewhat replenished.

The mysteries of plants, essentially a branch of the true essence of life, represented an outward extension of a law faction.

Using the true essence of plants he initially perceived, and with the extraordinary perception of the Sea of Souls, he was able to repair some of the fragmented true essences of life, restoring parts of them to completeness.

"Cold Ice!"

Feeling he was on to something, Pang Jian then incorporated the mark of extreme cold truth into a bone of extreme icy crystal, using a method like intermittent flashes of lightning.

This Divine Bone contained extreme cold mysteries from various sources, also repairing and completing those fragmented true essences of Cold Ice.

This greatly encouraged Pang Jian, and he exclaimed, "Light!"

Within his chest, the Fierce Sun and crescent moon, along with numerous stars like acupoints, all released a bright radiance, accepting Hongyan’s true essence of light.

"Boom!"

Pang Jian’s Primordial Spirit violently quaked.

Through the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars, as he perceived Hongyan’s true essence of light, he found that these fragmented truths made his Primordial Spirit tremble.

Just in a flash, the sun, moon, and stars within him turned dim.

All sources of light, all consciousness attempting to perceive these truths of light, were overshadowed by the bizarre radiance that burst forth from the fractured Divine Status of Hongyan.

It was a kind of overpowering crush, an all-angle restraint!

In the void, Pang Jian felt a pair of cold, godly eyes watching him from the distant Outer Realm.

"Hmm!"

A third of the Divine Consciousness within his Primordial Spirit dissolved in an instant!

The muscles and bones he had created through destiny and refined nature’s spiritual energy were also partly torn.

A great fear arose in his heart, and he decisively stopped using the mysteries of the sun, moon, and stars within him to try to comprehend Hongyan’s Law of Light.

Hongyan had ascended to the Sovereignty through this mystery.

Even though her Light Divine was shattered, and even though Pang Jian intercepted it using the peculiar capabilities of the Netherworld Soul Sea, it was still not to be scrutinized by others.

Because light was Her core essence!

...

In the sky, above the moon.

Ying Yue and Han Yi, the two goddesses, sensed an anomaly almost simultaneously—a familiar aura coming from the Misty Sea.

"Pang Jian!"

Both women exclaimed in shock.

"It’s the Netherworld!

"That most mysterious, the Netherworld that Outer Realm Deities cannot peep into!"

In her Divine Platform, Han Yi danced excitedly and said, "I feel that inside Pang Jian’s body, a force has broken through the seals of the Netherworld. And that force, so chillingly cold, even I felt the response!"

"What I sensed was light, the light of the moon!" Ying Yue also said.

Then again...

"He’s still alive!"

The two women suddenly realized—the other Pang Jian, whom they thought had long died in the Netherworld, had reappeared there!

And moreover, had become so powerful!

"Han Yi, perhaps... he really could, as you hoped, help you slay the Spirit Race’s Mou Qi," the Moon Goddess sighed deeply and said, "First He Motian’s anomaly, and now this stronger him appearing. I think you might have bet correctly; he might be able to possess the power to slay Mou Qi soon!"

With a bite of her glistening lips, Han Yi said, "I’ve dreamt of this day coming!"
