The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 967 - 926: The True Body Appears in the World

Suddenly, the utmost darkness of the Seventh Realm surged toward the Black Phoenix as it spread its wings.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

The darkness, like a rolling tide, instantly submerged into the body of the Black Phoenix, causing this world, eternally shrouded in darkness, to regain a faint glow.

The next moment, a clear and melodious cry abruptly rang out.

It could be seen that the thick Filth Alien Power filling the Sixth Realm of Purgatory was all stirred by the phoenix’s cries, suddenly sinking into the Seventh Realm, and simultaneously pouring into the colossal body of the Black Phoenix.

In an extremely short span of time, the Sixth and Seventh Realms of Purgatory had become a power vacuum.

All forms of Alien Power and dark energy had been entirely devoured by the Black Phoenix.

It was only then that He leisurely stretched His grand body and cast a profoundly meaningful glance at the Golden Iron Continent with a pair of cold, merciless eyes.

"Whoosh!"

He suddenly shot up toward the void above Purgatory.

In just a flash, He had traversed both the Seventh and Sixth Realms, arriving at the Fifth Realm of Purgatory.

"The Black Phoenix!"

"A Black Phoenix!"

"Such a colossal Black Phoenix, how has it flown out from that endless dark realm and entered the world above?"

Warriors from the Alien Tribes who had failed to ascend to the heavens and were subsequently expelled back to the Fifth Realm gazed up at the sky from various continents, all noticing the gracefully winging Black Phoenix.

Not many knew that this Black Phoenix had existed in the realm of eternal darkness for many years.

Thus, when He suddenly leapt into everyone’s sight, He brought the most intense shock to all creatures of the Fifth Realm.

He was so vast, so magnificent.

He resembled a chunk of land suspended in midair, and the aura emanating from Him bore hints of destruction, devastation, corruption, slaughter, among other extreme and violent terrors.

Layers upon layers of Dark Divine Power enveloped His great body, with strands of pure black lightning intertwining and writhing within.

Those were the Dark Laws that only a Sovereign could touch!

Merely beholding Him, the creatures of the Fifth Realm felt a suffocating sensation, and some, in sheer terror, knelt to worship, uttering unconscious prayers.

"Purgatory has never birthed such a mighty species!"

"He, who is He?"

Creatures as powerful as Yu Xin and Dazzling Shadow, who could communicate with Alien God Spirits, feeling the boundless Divine Power dissipating from Him, had a name suddenly popping into their minds.

The Black Phoenix!

Above Purgatory, beyond the Mysterious Fog Sea, the ancient Demon Sovereign of the vast and boundless Star River!

Once He had shared control of the Hall of Gods with the four great Sovereigns of the outer realms, ranking even above the others in the Hall, that Black Phoenix of the Ancient Demon Clan!

"He, He actually fell into Purgatory!"

Alien Tribes’ mightiest, who learned of the Black Phoenix’s origin from their worshiped God Spirits, felt a gut-wrenching spasm at this moment.

They could never have imagined that the Black Phoenix, notorious for its unbridled slaughter across the Outer Star River, had, in fact, always been in Purgatory!

Right down there in the endless darkness!

"Our Lord!"

"Holy God!"

"The creator of our Demon Race in Purgatory!"

In the Fourth and Third Realms of Purgatory, every warrior of the Demon Race on each continent and Fragment Land felt the colossal commotion from below.

Looking down, they beheld the supremely dignified, exquisitely beautiful, immense phoenix.

The brand deep within their souls, the memories contained within their Demon Hearts and blood, were suddenly unveiled, prompting the warriors of the Demon Race to prostrate themselves in worship towards Him.

The members of the Demon Race immediately recognized His origin, knowing He was indeed their ancestral bloodline.

The birth of the Demon Race in Purgatory, and their once dominance over the world of Purgatory, all ultimately stemmed from His existence in Purgatory and His constant care for the Demon Race.

And so it was, even today.

Thus, all warriors of the Demon Race who could see Him knelt down in reverence, calling out the words "Holy God."

"Whoosh!"

Under the watchful eyes of the creatures from the realms below, the Black Phoenix continued to ascend, effortlessly surpassing the Fourth and Third Realms, reaching the high void of the Second Realm.

"Holy God!"

At that time, the Ancient Demons like Old Black Turtle, Yuan Qi, and the Black Dragon King also saw His huge body that covered the sky.

"The Holy God is actually alive!"

"No! The Holy God has never truly perished, He has always been alive!"

The Demons were astounded.

Unlike powerful beings like Yu Xin and Dazzling Shadow from the Alien Tribes, contemporary Demon Gods like Old Black Turtle and Yuan Qi had long listened to His teachings and knew His Demon Soul was still active.

However, all Demons believed His flesh and blood had decayed long ago, devoid of vitality and life.

The Demon Soul endures, but the physical body withers – this was the Demons’ definition of Him.

Now, He had overturned the Demons’ understanding of Him, proclaiming His return in this manner!

Not only was His Demon Soul raging, but even His ancient body in the Seventh Realm was brimming with life!

This was indeed the Black Phoenix, who from the Outer Star River looked down upon all, causing the four great Sovereigns to dread so much that they had to join forces to eliminate!

"He..."

On the first level, the Original Demon, Great Demon God Fa Jie, Thunder God, and visitors from the outer realms like Xinghuan, seeing Him appear below, were too shocked to know what to do.

The Original Demon’s heart trembled with alarm, and his mind was muddled.

He suddenly thought of himself and Luo Hongyan, who foolishly attempted to strip the remains of the Black Phoenix in the Seventh Realm of Purgatory, to refine its wielded Dark Divine Power, to devour the power lingering within its ancient body.

Luo Hongyan wanted to use the Black Phoenix to complete the supreme laws of the dark domain, while He sought to use its body to ascend to the Dominator Realm.

However, He and Luo Hongyan had always treated it as a lifeless object.

"Ridiculous, we are truly ridiculous, we actually believed He was dead."

Bitterness filled the Original Demon’s eyes.

If the Black Phoenix was indeed alive, and could in an instant clean the Sixth and Seventh Realms of darkness and Filth Alien Power, then it meant that the Black Phoenix could eradicate Him and Luo Hongyan’s avatars in a mere thought.

Why did the Black Phoenix feign death?

Why, when He and Luo Hongyan exerted their strength, did the Black Phoenix merely defend its body from destruction with Dark Divine brilliance?

"Fear is, we two have never been in His sight. He has been scheming to hide Himself all this time, not wanting to expose the fact that He is still alive. What He wants is not my demise, not the destruction of an avatar of God Luo."

"He is waiting for this moment!"

The Original Demon suddenly came to a realization.

"He is still alive..."

The Thunder God’s countenance was vacant, feeling that the recent experiences were more intense than His long and brilliant life.

The Ruin Domain, the Ancient God of Life Ling Yun, Fu Ya, God Luo, Pang Jian, and now this Black Phoenix—these figures, more dazzling than Him, came forth one after another.

He suddenly felt how fortunate He was to be reborn in this era, to take part in this catastrophe of heaven and earth.

"A Black Phoenix!"

"The terrifying Demon God of the Demon Race!"

The human Cultivators on the lands of the First and Second Realms were also intimidated by His Divine Shadow, feeling a strong sense of dread within them.

God Spirits like the Old Black Turtle, Yuan Qi, and Black Dragon King had already heavily pressured the Human Race, nearly reversing the situation in Purgatory.

If not for Pang Jian, the world above Purgatory would have been dominated by the Demon Sovereigns and Demon Race again.

Previously, Pang Jian had single-handedly entered the "Heaven Forbidden Layer" to prevent the sinking of that hall, greatly boosting the morale of the Human Race and making everyone feel as though the fate of the Purgatory World was still in human hands.

But now, a Black Phoenix had emerged!

The aura and majesty it spread were very clearly telling everyone that He was the true master within Purgatory, He was the ultimate answer for this realm!

"What does He want to do?"

The human Cultivators’ minds were in turmoil, closely watching His every move, sensing the ominous feeling of impending disaster.

"Whoosh!"

His wings moved again.

This time, without pausing, He went from the Second Realm to the First Realm, and immediately flew directly towards the "Heaven Forbidden Layer" where Pang Jian Yuan Shen was stationed.

All beings in Purgatory who could gaze upon the "Heaven Forbidden Layer" were filled with great fear, worrying that His appearance and ascension were meant to confront Pang Jian.

The gods were outside, unable to bombard the "Heaven Forbidden Layer" successfully, so He decided to appear?

The gods attacked from outside, while He unraveled it from within?

Would Purgatory collapse in an instant?

The golden brilliance of the "Heaven Forbidden Layer," all the dazzling gold light abruptly retracted as if it had never spread across the "Heaven Forbidden," making it transparent and gleaming once again.

Pang Jian floated therein, calmly watching His approaching figure, without any change.

Pang Jian, too, could not fathom His attitude.

Pang Lin was His rebirth, yet still regarded herself as his sister and even rushed to the "Misty Dust Strange Realm" to aid the Human True God against Ling Yun and Tianyu.

That was Pang Lin, but was the Black Phoenix before him still Pang Lin?

Upon leaping out of the Seventh Realm and officially declaring His return, would His overwhelming Demon Heart and Divine Consciousness directly overshadow Pang Lin, becoming the sole will of the two?

While Pang Jian pondered this, the Black Phoenix quietly entered into the "Heaven Forbidden Layer," and came to a silent halt.

They locked gazes.

In the cold pair of black eyes of His, Pang Jian first saw boundless indifference.

Such indifference belonged only to the lofty Dominators, a complete apathy that regarded all beings as insignificant.

Like Him, like Fu Ya and Luo Hongyan, such was the gaze with which they regarded all beings aside from each other.

Pang Jian suddenly became alert, assuming that upon awakening, He was still the Ancient Demon Clan Sovereign who reigned over the Outer Star River, about to reclaim everything He had let go.

Including his sister, Pang Lin!

Yet, in the next instant, a familiar warmth and softness emerged within the depths of the Black Phoenix’s extremely cold black eyes.

That was the look in Pang Lin’s eyes when she gazed at him!

"Little Linzi?"

Pang Jian tentatively called out softly.

The cry of a phoenix rose again, and this call conveyed the word "Brother!"

Pang Jian’s taut nerves instantly relaxed.

A smile first curled up at the corner of his mouth, then swiftly widened as he couldn’t help but softly "he-he" chuckle to himself.

This was Pang Lin, the sister he had protected for many years!

"Whoosh!"

Under the wings of the Black Phoenix, the "Heaven Forbidden" enforcing restraints on the beings of Purgatory was as if it had never existed.

He quietly passed through the "Heaven Forbidden," broke through the Purgatory World, and placed Himself in the Outer Domain Galaxy.
