The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 828 - 788: Pang Lin’s Divine Enthronement

Chapter 828: Chapter 788: Pang Lin’s Divine Enthronement

In Purgatory, many True Gods bowed their heads, their faces extremely solemn.

They dared not look up at the sky, nor did they dare to pay attention to the conditions of the people beside them.

They kept recalling in their minds the powerful light from the Outer Star River, and the terrifying pressure it brought.

Sovereign, the weight conveyed by these two words, was something they had finally deeply comprehended.

Separated by "Heaven Forbidden", the Sovereign merely gazed down at Purgatory, and that alone was enough to cause Dong Shangqing to perish.

Even they were affected one by one, nearly dying like Dong Shangqing.

—If it had not been for Pang Jian shouting to awaken everyone.

Should the day come when everyone truly reaches the Outer Domain Galaxy, standing before the true form of that Sovereign, let alone striving against Him in battle, who could keep gazing at Him without perishing?

The chasm between strength and realm, like an insurmountable ravine, bred despair in everyone’s hearts.

Nobody felt a sense of relief because of Luo Hongyan’s destroyed incarnation, nor from the departure of Yan Lie and others.

Instead, they felt even more oppressed.

"The rules in Purgatory are changing, and it won’t be long before low-rank gods will be able to enter, followed by middle-level gods, and then... possibly high gods." Pu Zhaotian spoke with a bitter tone, "Those godly spirits who left will still be able to come back soon."

Pang Jian suddenly said, "He is no longer emitting light, everyone can relax a bit now."

At his words, everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief, finally daring to look up at the Star River again.

The star and moon were still there, the suffocating light had indeed vanished without a trace.

The Flaming Meteor representing Yan Lie, along with traces of Lie Yang, Shajia, and Aman, also disappeared in the starry sky.

Only the moon, and the bright stars, eternally existed in the void above "Purgatory".

"Elder Dong..."

Pang Jian sighed softly.

Countless symbols and tiny scripts flowed out from Dong Shangqing’s shattered body, mixing with streaks of light, flying towards the location of the Desolated Terrains.

"Whoosh!"

A brand-new crystal-like radiance also momentarily flashed from that body, heading towards "Heaven Forbidden".

Among the group of True Gods, Dong Shangqing was the weakest in strength, and his refinement of body and spiritual soul was inadequate.

He was well aware of this fact.

Therefore, he planned to swiftly enhance his power and cultivation, to break through "Heaven Forbidden" and seek a sliver of survival in the Outer Star River, making room for the younger generation.

However, before he could even burst out of Purgatory, he died right before everyone’s eyes.

"He just took a step ahead of us. Given how the situation is unfolding, we..."

Li Wang’s meaningful gaze fell on Su Wenrou and Pei Yishan, saying, "If we cannot break through our realms in a short time, we will also hardly escape a doomed fate, destined to be eliminated."

Su Wenrou said, "Our situation remains worrisome!"

"Elder Zhu!" Pei Yishan exclaimed, "What is the landscape beyond the realm of a True God? How did you break through?"

Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains, Aman, had previously interacted with him when he felt slightly advantageous.

But after Aman broke through and successfully entered the ranks of middle-level gods, he, along with Pu Zhaotian, Li Wang, and Su Wenrou, Dong Shangqing, could not defeat Aman.

Without Li Yuqing’s "River of Destiny" constantly being effective, they would have likely been annihilated one by one by Aman.

This spurred Pei Yishan, making him eagerly want to advance to the next realm, to prepare for eventually stepping into the Outer Realm.

"Elder Zhu, can you talk to us about the following steps in our cultivation for the Human Race?" Su Wenrou also inquired.

Having dismissed his "Divine Dharma Aspect," Zhu Ji said somewhat awkwardly under everyone’s eager gazes, "I broke through inexplicably, I can’t clearly describe the specific steps. I don’t even know what realm I’m currently in."

Everyone was in an uproar.

"God Commencement Realm. After becoming a True God, the next realm for the Human Race is the God Commencement Realm, corresponding to the middle-level God of the godly spirits."

Pang Jian suddenly interjected.

"Beyond the God Commencement Realm is the God Manifestation Realm, corresponding to the high gods among the godly spirits. Next comes the God Dominion Realm, corresponding to the Sovereigns of the Outer Realm."

"This complete system of cultivation, I learned of it from the fortunes in the Netherworld Prison, which bears many similarities to our Purgatory."

"Next, let me explain in detail the subsequent cultivation methods for the Human Race," Pang Jian said seriously.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd looked at Pang Jian at this moment as if he were a monster.

Pu Zhaotian couldn’t help but ask, "Wasn’t your other body in Netherworld Prison shattered long ago?"

Li Yuqing was even more baffled and said, "My ascension to a True God was precisely because the other you died in Netherworld Prison."

"The other me in Netherworld Prison had already died and been reborn, like the Mysterious Turtle, like Yuan Qi, like the upcoming Black Phoenix," Pang Jian said solemnly.

...

In the Mysterious Fog next to the Saint Spirit Continent.

A core of black crystal light, slender like a fishing line, cascaded down to Pang Lin’s skeleton.

Pang Lin’s lips curled into a faint smile.

In the depths of her eyes, one black and one white phoenix suddenly became vivid and lively.

"Whoosh!"

The Black Phoenix, exuding a mysterious dignity, appeared in an ethereal form behind Pang Lin, its phoenix eyes revealing a haughty disdain for all beings.

The Black Phoenix, not a Soul Body or a Spiritual Body, resembled a kind of soul projection.

Yet it was identical to the one suspended in the Seventh Realm.

But this ethereal He wasn’t inert.

This shadow-like He, still lively in the eyes, quietly looked down at Pang Lin.

He observed a core of black crystal light sinking into Pang Lin’s mind, entering the peculiar blue Sea of Souls and turning it into a pitch-black color.

"It’s done."

Pang Lin suddenly smiled.

The projection-like Black Phoenix, due to His words "It’s done," suddenly underwent a transformation, was infused with dense Soul Breath vitality, and changed from a shadow to a product of the soul.

In a moment, the shadow-like Black Phoenix became a peculiar Soul Spirit.

"Huff!"

This Black Phoenix moved elegantly and then disappeared into Pang Lin’s body, becoming a profound imprint in her soul.

"After becoming a god, one enters the God Manifestation Realm," Pang Lin whispered softly.

Without relying on the spiritual energy of nature in Purgatory, without preparing wealth of divine elixirs, nor being outside of the Mysterious Fog on land,

she was able to propel her realm breakthrough just with the power within her own body.

After ascension to True God, she immediately initiated an advancement to the God Manifestation Realm.

"There should be enough time,"

She looked up at the void above while attempting the realm breakthrough, amidst the Mysterious Fog inside Purgatory.

Neither the Misty Sea nor Heaven Forbidden could obscure her gaze.

In the depths of Purgatory, she saw the Sovereign that no longer deliberately emitted a strong light or showed off his power.

"Just wait a bit," Pang Lin said with narrowed eyes and a smile.

...

In the outer, dark and cold void of space,

around an energy field no longer emitting a terrifying light stood the majestic Demon Body of He Motian, the hidden Elder Zimo in the grand Earth Palace, and Mou Qi of the Spirit Race.

Three High Gods, adopting a humble posture, faced this energy field.

In the energy field, the true body of God Luo spoke indifferently: "You really did awaken."

...
