The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 1023 - 981: Support from the World Tree

"Whoosh!"

The light of the stars kept changing, at times so bright that one dared not look directly, at times suddenly becoming the epitome of darkness.

As they shifted, those Bright Laws spread across the stars also transformed in an instant, immediately changing from the ultimate Bright Laws to the ultimate Dark Laws.

Light and darkness shimmered, spreading wildly from within, bolstering the might of this domain of light and shadow.

Waves of light, interlaced with black and white from the mix of light and darkness, continuously clashed against the scattered Divine Aura of Yi Hao, choking the rivers flowing from the "Wheel of Fate."

"Pang Jian, I’ll ensure that Yi Hao can no longer be distracted."

Luo Hongyan’s resonant divine voice suddenly rose from the void above, reaching deep into the Misty Sea.

"Good!"

The two Pang Jians simultaneously let out a deep cry.

Pang Jian’s true body, who was killing Xinghuan, stepped out from behind a giant shield that blotted out the sky, ferociously appearing in the thunderous Thunder Divine Court, maintaining the same altitude as the Thunder God in his Green Giant Dragon form.

"Thunder God."

Pang Jian uttered softly.

"Kill! Kill kill!"

Soaring above the Thunder Divine Court, the dragon covered in scales, seared by the lightning that had caused its hue, had Demon Pupils filled with a frenzy for slaughter.

Its fierce killing intent nearly overflowed from the Demon Pupils.

Unlike Bai Zi’s confusion and bewilderment, He was severely tainted by the supreme will from beyond the skies, devoid of any self-awareness or Spiritual Intelligence.

In His mind, there was only one thought: to slay all the living creatures before Him.

Pang Jian, the Bee King, Pang Lin, and the beings within the Ruin Domain were all His prey; He cared not for His own life or death!

...

"Thunder God will surely not come to save you, and it’s time for me to do something."

In the Ruin Domain, Pang Ling, drifting down from the treetop, looked at His huge body rooted in the "God and Demon Origin Academy" and said, " They are all struggling mightily. They have not become Sovereigns yet, but I am already a thirteenth-level Exotic Spirit and should not be susceptible to contamination."

"Boom!"

The "God and Demon Origin Academy" vibrated and flew out of the Ruin Domain and into the world beyond.

"Don’t!"

Han Yi and Ying Yue cried out at the same time.

Like He Motian and Luan Ji, the Great Demon Gods, who saw the miraculous "World Tree" choosing to break out of the Ruin Domain at this moment, also tried to stop it.

But they had no way to make the "World Tree" stay in the Ruin Domain.

Their paths as Demon Gods, their expertise in soul and spirit control, were ineffective against the thirteenth-level "World Tree", and they could only watch as Pang Ling took His body and the "God and Demon Origin Academy" out of the Ruin Domain.

"Whoosh!"

In just an instant, the giant "World Tree" passed through the Boundary Wall of the Ruin Domain, finding itself amidst the vast Misty Sea.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Pang Jian exerted his strength fiercely as he flew out of the Ruin Domain.

One after another, his sharp branches, capable of piercing through stars and moons, thrust directly at the Thunder Divine Court, some wrapping around this Divine Court like flexible vines.

Other branches, sharp as blade tips, stabbed into the Divine Court’s palaces.

"Pff! Crack! Crackle!"

One after another, the ancient and grand Divine Courts were pierced by the branches of the thirteenth-level "World Tree", scattering lightning in all directions.

Even sharper branches, radiating brilliant golden light as if carrying the will of the "Source of Metal Essence", stabbed into the long body of the Green Giant Dragon.

"Boom!"

Dragon scales the size of millstones trembled, and the Thunderbolt Laws above disintegrated.

The Thunder God’s pained howls came from the midair of the Thunder Divine Court, no longer as fierce and brutal as before.

"Eh!"

Pang Jian was surprised, unexpectedly watching the arrival of the thirteenth-level "World Tree."

He did not expect Pang Ling to choose to leave the Ruin Domain at this moment, nor did he imagine that Pang Ling’s target would be the Dominion-class Thunder God.

"This girl." The young girl sitting on the shoulders of the Primordial Spirit was also startled by this scene.

She, who had bestowed numerous blessings to the "World Tree", and even handed over the "Crystal of Life" generously, revealed a smile, saying, "A thirteenth-level Exotic Spirit, not advancing through the way of God Status and without the Bloodline of Alien Tribes, should not be susceptible to external forces."

Pang Lin’s mood became increasingly buoyant, feeling that everything she had been involved in was gaining significance.

Due to her assistance, because she willingly gave up the Black Phoenix Demon Body, she enabled Luo Hongyan to resist the contamination of the external will and allowed Red-robed Luo Hongyan to become the master of the Divine Body.

Now Luo Hongyan was displaying divine might, firmly holding back the God of Destiny in the high skies, preventing Yi Hao from intervening.

The "World Tree," bestowed with the "Crystal of Life," had become a level thirteen Exotic Spirit and, at the critical moment, fearlessly entered the fray.

"Very good, none of you have disappointed me."

Pang Lin giggled.

"Father, I can kill Him, I can kill Him!"

The substantial-fleshed Pang Ling, suddenly excitedly danced with joy, arrogantly shouted, "The Sovereign Realm of the Thunder God is not stable, I can shatter His dragon body!"

A branch, merely as thick as a toddler’s arm, burst forth with a green, glowing Divine Aura, threading through the gaps in the Dragon Scales.

It touched the flesh and blood of the Thunder God!

"Vitality Plunder!"

Pang Ling’s slim and graceful body radiated a terrifying Divine Aura, as a fierce light suddenly shone in her eyes.

Blending flesh, Plant Spirit, and the Great Tao Law, He who now had a real body, also incorporated many strange mysteries through Pang Jian, making each part of His own branches comparable to a Divine Weapon.

And yet, He possessed a bizarreness that Divine Weapons lacked.

The branch, not very thick, sprouted many buds within the flesh of the Thunder God, gnawing at his robust muscle fibers with razor-sharp teeth.

The robust and majestic vitality, like a great river, poured into the branch.

This divine being of the Thunder Clan, who after rebirth chose to return to the supreme echelon as an Ancient Demon Clan’s Azure Dragon, experienced a precipitous drain of Qi and Blood, uncontrollably surging into the center of the "World Tree."

The level thirteen "World Tree" held the power to devour the vitality of beings and harness Plant Spirit Energy.

It was an anomaly in the realm of life.

It relied on the vitality of plant and blood to grow itself, and the Green Giant Dragon who reached the Dominator Realm, once pierced by Its branches, found it extremely difficult to break free.

"Puchi!"

In the midst of the Thunder God’s agonized roar, more branches pierced through the Dragon Scales, stabbing into the dragon’s innards.

The elongated dragon began to shrink visibly fast, and as a massive amount of life essence ebbed away, the Thunder God’s dominion also fell, His cries of pain marked with sorrow.

It wasn’t long before the ferocity and savagery faded from the Thunder God’s Demon Pupils.

"Once He falls from his realm and is no longer a Sovereign, will he no longer be possessed by that will?"

Pang Jian’s thoughts flickered.

Initially planning to see if he could use the vibrant emotions of the Misty Sea Life to help the Thunder God regain consciousness, he suddenly changed his mind, preparing to wait and see.

Observing the Thunder God’s brain, he noticed that piece of God Status representing the Dominator Realm was quietly fading from an utterly indifferent will.

"It could possess the Thunder God’s consciousness, could shake the Thunder God’s God Status, but since the Thunder God cannot fully bear its power, this is not its true coming."

"Seeing the Thunder God’s weakening body, it decisively abandoned him to turn instead..."

Pang Jian sharply turned his gaze towards Bai Zi.

The perplexed look on Bai Zi’s face disappeared in an instant, replaced by an indifferent and cold expression.

Some of the invading force once applied to the Thunder God transferred from his body to Bai Zi, and upon taking over Bai Zi’s body, with a natural connection to the "Soul Path Origin," it took a ruthless strike at the Sea of Souls still lingering in the Netherworld Prison.

"Bee King!"

Pang Jian commanded in a low shout.

Under the vast shield that obscured the sky, the initially hesitant Bee King instantly made a decision.

"Whoo!"

The Bee King steered the brand-new Hall of Gods, falling like a meteor towards the Netherworld Prison, its stance seemingly intent on breaking through the Dome of the Boundary Wall within the Netherworld Prison to merge internally.

He dared not fly out of the Netherworld Prison, not daring to expose himself under the scrutiny of the two supreme wills, so he prepared to change his approach.

Especially since He sensed the supreme will outside the heavens, leveraging Bai Zi to exert power, attempting to sever His connection with the Sea of Souls and stop the integration of His Bee King form with the Sea of Souls.

"Survive! All of you must survive!"

After dropping these words, Pang Jian flew out from the Thunder Divine Court, turning into a streak of golden lightning shooting towards Bai Zi.

"Boom!"

The vast Thunder Divine Court, in response to Pang Jian’s actions, also moved closer to Bai Zi’s position.

As the Thunder God fell from his Realm, no longer the Sovereign, the Thunder Divine Court returned to Pang Jian’s control.

"Crackle!"

The Divine Court, entwined by the branches of the "World Tree," ejected dazzling Thunderbolts, transforming into swathes of Thunder Vortices like a storm chasing after Bai Zi.

The Thunder Divine Power was not only the nemesis of that blue-hued Sea of Souls but also had the same restraining effect on Bai Zi!

No matter if Bai Zi took on Fu Ya’s Great Tao or not, as long as the laws and spiritual intelligence under his control are involved, Bai Zi would be subdued within the violent whirl of the Thunder Vortex!
