The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 1028 - 986: The Fall of the True Self

"With the casting of God Status to ascend to the path of the God Spirit, it was the work of an extraterrestrial will.

——This is its most potent means of controlling the gods from beyond.

Anyone who follows this path and crystallizes their God Status to become a God Spirit will be somewhat restricted by its will.

Sovereigns, Divine Kings, they too struggle to break free completely.

Like Pang Jian, who had grasped its weaknesses and knew to counteract with the emotions of all living beings, he also couldn’t entirely ignore it, he too would be influenced at certain stages.

In a flash, it was enough to grant it an absolute advantage.

"Sss! Ssss!"

The gray-white ethereal light, like a venomous water, filled Pang Jian’s flesh and blood, corroding his life force.

His body, already riddled with holes, was being infiltrated by a force containing myriad malevolent and mysterious sources, and the pores on his skin gradually expanded into giant cavities.

At this moment, he was like "The Observer" inhabiting a flag; a stench emanated from the cavities.

The Divine Power hidden deep within his flesh, the Law Silent Lightning interwoven in the blood vessels and meridians, were being crushed one by one by those gray-white lights, making it difficult for his God Status and body to maintain their connection.

"The power of the origin, bestowed upon the ethereal light, exceeds the Grand Tao techniques I have contemplated."

Pang Jian gathered the Law of Life and resisted with many Secret Skills he had comprehended, only to find they had no effect.

The rot and death of his body accelerated.

...

Below.

"You’ve always been too clever for your own good."

It, having taken over Bai Zi, said to the gray enveloping fog, "To create him with the Divine Tao I have woven, to think of using him to deduce my weaknesses and flaws? Ridiculous."

As these words fell, the giant Ice Ridge Storm hovering in the sky had already swallowed all the stars.

Only the grand sun remained, still emitting light and flame.

But the Silver Radiance Sky Curtain from above had, in this process, driven so much gray fog, restoring brightness to the "Chaos Star River."

"Come."

It beckoned towards the azure Sea of Souls.

The Hall of Gods, which was very close to the Sea of Souls, and the Bee King, who was in a state of stupefaction above the Hall of Gods, did not move.

"Hu!"

The Sea of Souls, emitting a mysterious and profound radiance, obediently flew towards it like iron to a magnet.

The "Soul Path Origin" seemed ready to become a part of it, filling the most significant gap it lacked.

At this moment, the dense gray fog from the Mysterious Fog Sea surged up desperately.

The Misty Sea Will clearly seemed frustrated and panicked.

"Sssla! Sssla!"

This surge of robust and intense fog, for the first time, contained various forms of energy, an unknown lightning intertwined within it, appearing ferocious and formidable.

"It’s useless; as long as I don’t sink into the domain you control, you can’t win against me."

"You lack even a body capable of descending to exert your real strength. What will you use to fight me?"

It shook its head gently in the form of Bai Zi.

"Whoosh!"

The blood-stained Bai Zi, looking ghastly and terrifying, suddenly burst forth with even stronger silvery radiance.

Within this deep radiance, shadows of numerous origins became distinctly visible!

An expanse of gray sea seething with the intent of ultimate death, a meatball suffused with a foul stench, a murky river brimming with the Alien Power of time, and a Prismatic Crystal resembling a God Status filled with the essence of space, plus countless other bizarre and indescribable items, all bearing the breath of the origin.

Over millions of years, most of the origins lost in their wars seemed to have been melted by the supreme will from beyond.

All became a part of it.

The traces of the origins were fully revealed in this wave of silvery brilliance, rapidly dispersing the surging, thick grayness.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom boom!"

There was an earth-shattering roar that exploded from the juncture between the Silver Radiance light waves and the grey mist.

It wasn’t the sound of the Great Tao colliding, but the clash of the origins of the paths!

The Netherworld Prison Barrier of the sky, because of such high-level fluctuations, suddenly burst open with fine cracks, and the Misty Sea Will, which was divided among the Netherworld’s world will, had no time to mend the cracks in the Netherworld Prison Barrier.

"These past years, because the Soul Path Origin sank in your territory, expanding your Spiritual Intelligence, you’ve indeed come up with quite a few ideas."

"But it’s still far from enough."

It mocked with Bai Zi’s image.

And that blue mysterious Sea of Souls had already floated before it and began to actively gather and contract, as if wanting to merge into its Silver Radiance eyes to become a part of it.

...

"Brother."

"Shatter! Quickly shatter the God Status, this is your only way out now!"

"While the God Status shatters, try to imprint as much of the sinister and mysterious origin it holds as possible, to allow your True Body to briefly regain fighting power."

"Without breaking, there’s no establishing, only by breaking the God Status will you have a chance at life!"

Pang Lin urged anxiously.

Even at this moment, she still maintained absolute clarity, offering what she believed to be the best solution.

"Brother, you must believe me!"

That was her last sentence.

Pang Jian turned his head with his Yuan Shen, frowned as he looked at her, fell silent for a moment, then nodded gently, "Alright, I believe you, I’ll do as you say."

...

"Crack!"

A crisp sound resonated in the brain region of Pang Jian’s true form.

Pang Jian’s body, which had been heavily damaged and teetered on the brink of death, disintegrated amidst the sound of cracking.

The clear and transparent God Status, like self-destructing, shattered, thus leading to the demise of the physical body as well.

The God Status exploded, and thousands of fragments, like Cold Crystals, fell into Pang Jian’s Dantian Spirit Sea, becoming lustrous stars that burst with astonishing Divine Power in an instant.

Each fragment of the shattered luminous God Status began to consume the grey-white gloom that had invaded the flesh, absorbing the insidious Alien Power within it—death, exhaustion, decay, weakness, corruption, poison, and all else.

Within the fragments of the crystal God Status, there were also imprints of the various mysterious path origins.

Meanwhile, Pang Jian Yuan Shen, who was suppressing the chaos of the four Great Demon gods’ brain domains, received the imprints of the mysterious paths from those God Status fragments and inscribed each one.

As Pang Jian’s true form shattered God Status, turning the God Status into fragments imprinting the sinister origins, he truly regained control over himself!

"Whoosh!"

The cleaving giant blade burst forth again with a blinding golden radiance!

Within the deep golden light, there were traces of the path imprints he had just made with the God Status fragments!

Pang Jian’s second strike was with his body that was about to be destroyed without a complete God Status, wielding the giant blade formed from the twelve Realm God Cards.

The entity possessing Bai Zi could no longer restrict Pang Jian through the God Status.

Not even for an instant.

"Shh! Shh!"

From its Silver Radiance eyes, it shot out two beams as thick as waterfalls, clashing with the golden light of Pang Jian’s descending giant blade.

"Crack! Crack!"

The void tore apart piece by piece, a terrifying surge that brought destruction to all things exploded between the two lights.

An indescribable wave of wickedness, mixed with the breath of the path origins, rushed against Pang Jian, the giant blade becoming a bridge for the power’s transmission, the wickedness reaching directly to Pang Jian’s grievously injured body.

"Bang!"

Pang Jian, who swung the giant blade, had his collapsing body explode into a sky of bloody light and shadows under such wicked violence.

Pang Jian’s body of the True Form, its sinews, flesh, and even those fragmented pieces of God Status, dissipated in an instant.

...
