The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 989 - 948: Luan Ji’s Assistance

Purgatory World.

"This battle," Thunder God murmured as he gazed up at the starry sky, "is about the survival of the Misty Sea Life and the ’Prison’ World itself."

As soon as He noticed that the Hall of Gods, with its dazzling divine radiance, had expelled the boundless darkness and started bombarding the Divine King’s Skull, He remarked with a worried expression, "Pang Jian, after all, has not stepped into the next realm. Facing the Dominion-class Fu Ya and that Hall of Gods..."

He left the rest unsaid, but everyone understood the implications of His words.

Clearly, He believed that the current Pang Jian was extremely unlikely to defeat the Wisdom Goddess.

"Pang Jian is already so formidable, yet he can barely shake the Hall of Gods, unable to withstand the onslaught of the Wisdom Goddess," Bai Zi sighed despondently, "If only He could enter Netherworld Prison and truly refine that Sea of Souls, He would undoubtedly leap directly into the next realm, reaching the heights of a Divine King."

"Divine King!" Xinghuan also lamented.

They had all placed heavy bets on Pang Jian, pinning their hopes on Him, sharing Pang Jian’s glory and downfall.

They were acutely aware that once Pang Jian and the Black Phoenix were defeated, none of them would escape Fu Ya and Luo Hongyan’s pursuit.

Pang Jian’s dire situation left them all with furrowed brows and heavy hearts.

"Hu!"

A tall figure suddenly swept beside several otherworldly guests.

He bore a seven to eight-point resemblance to Pang Jian, with translucent wings upon His back and golden compound eyes.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Countless golden bees swarmed around a gigantic beehive, fluttering behind Him.

The beehive was as large as a small slice of heaven and earth, with bees buzzing in and out of each honeycomb pore, and tiny golden lightning flashes twinkling within.

"Ming Prison Soul Bee."

"Bee King!"

Thunder God, Bai Zi, and Fahua whispered in hushed tones.

Bai Zi was the most excited, staring at the Bee King, who had transformed into a humanoid figure, and feeling the aura He radiated, suddenly exclaimed, "Who would have thought that in Purgatory World, by Pang Jian’s hand, a Bee King of such a rank would be catalyzed!"

He had once controlled Ming Prison Soul Bees and was familiar with many such creatures, well aware of their habits and power.

Yet the Bee King before Him was unlike any bee He knew, giving Him the eerie illusion of facing the Sea of Souls in Netherworld Prison.

The gigantic beehive, each of its honeycomb pores, and those golden bees even brought the Hall of Gods to His mind!

The golden bees were like the myriad God Spirits, the beehive like the Hall of Gods, and each honeycomb pore like a Divine Position.

"It should be soon,"

The Bee King whispered.

His golden eyes remained fixed on several Demon Gods in the distance, noticing the anomalies of the Mysterious Turtle and Black Dragon King.

The Mysterious Turtle, Black Dragon King, and the Ice Armor Eel Dragon were all in a state of peak advancement, striking towards High Godhood, striving to step into a brand new realm.

"You..."

Bai Zi felt increasingly puzzled as He watched and couldn’t help asking, "Do you share a Soul connection with the Sea of Souls in Netherworld Prison? On you, I sense the breath of the Sea of Souls."

"Mhm." The Bee King responded nonchalantly and then with His compound golden eyes, continued to look up at the starry sky above, His expression complicated.

It seemed, He too wished to pass through Purgatory’s "Heaven Forbidden layer," like Pang Jian and Black Phoenix, to venture beyond and challenge the authority of the two Dominions.

"Enough, aiding you, is aiding myself,"

The Bee King muttered to Himself. Then, from His compound golden eyes, numerous golden beams flew out.

Within those golden beams were sealed many profound Mysteries of the Great Tao and an extremely pure Soul Breath that all God Spirits could absorb without obstruction.

"Darkness, earth, frost, water flow!"

"An extremely high Secret Skill of the Soul!"

Thunder God exclaimed in shock.

He watched as those golden beams, like streams of rivers, poured into the bodies of the Mysterious Turtle, Black Dragon King, and Ice Armor Eel Dragon, infusing their Demon Souls.

Members of the Ancient Demon Clan naturally had formidable Demon Bodies, but precisely because their Demon Bodies were so abnormal, the clan often neglected the tempering of their souls.

If the Ancient Demon Clan had a flaw, it was in the cultivation of their Demon Souls, which were mostly weaker than their bodies.

This was a major factor limiting the advancement of Demon Gods.

Most Ancient Demon Tribe Demon Gods, in fact, took longer to break through the Godhood realm than the God Spirits of other races.

Perhaps, that was also one of the reasons for the strength of Ancient Demons.

The Black Dragon King, the Mysterious Turtle, and the Ice Armor Eel Dragon had already been endowed by Black Phoenix with all the power necessary for their transformation, albeit in a forceful and expedited manner.

But because the three of them were not Yuan Qi, lacking an original body like Yuan Yi to augment them, their rate of advancement was naturally not as rapid as Yuan Qi’s.

The Bee King’s arrival and his actions at this moment were to start from their most disadvantaged aspect, allowing their Demon Souls and God Status to advance rapidly.

"Bee King!"

Old Black Turtle lay prostrate on the Saint Spirit Continent’s body, suddenly shaking violently.

Also resurrected from the Realm God Card of Purgatory, he and the Bee King were familiar with each other and occasionally communicated through Pang Jian.

He had not expected that, at this moment, the Bee King could inject such exquisite Soul Mystique into his Demon Soul and merge it into his Godhood.

The scent of the Bee King that had dissipated was now unfamiliar and powerful, starting to make him secretly doubt the Bee King’s identity.

"High God!"

The Black Dragon King and the Ice Armor Eel Dragon roared in different regions.

"Ooooo!"

These two different True Dragons underwent transformation, their scales quivering like leaves.

Two massive surges of Demon Power burst forth from their bodies, followed by nature’s spiritual energy surging in response, driving their transformation.

The gift of the Bee King made the path to their High Godhood incredibly smooth.

"They should be able to hold out, can support a bit longer."

The Bee King gazed into the sky, his vision seeming to penetrate the Boundary Wall and the boundless void, landing on Pang Jian’s Primordial Spirit Body.

...

In the Hall of Gods.

Through the Demon Souls of the four Great Demon Gods, Pang Jian observed the hall from an unusual perspective, looking at each Divine Position Slot.

Many God Spirits’ Soul Fires had extinguished, but strange images still lingered.

As Alien Power from the Heavens Star River and the dense Great Tao Law infused, those images of God Spirits became lifelike, as if collectively enhancing the Hall of Gods’ authority.

"Fu Ya."

"It’s all Fu Ya’s aura."

Pang Jian was moved.

In every image of a God Spirit, he felt the presence of Fu Ya.

This powerful Goddess of Wisdom seemed to have imprinted her Soul through mysterious means into those images.

Her split souls had formed those images of God Spirits.

At this moment, all the God Spirit images were not resurrected spirits, but personas evolved by Fu Ya!

They were actually all Fu Ya!

"Pang Jian!"

Luan Ji in his Divine Position Slot suddenly struggled violently.

His peak-restored Demon Body broke free from the restriction of the Divine Position Slot, throwing himself amidst the interwoven Law Silent Lightning.

"I am here to help you damage the Hall of Gods from the inside!"

Threads of faint blue-black gleams spilled from Luan Ji’s demonic eyes, streaming into many God Spirits’ images.

Those shadowy figures drifting in the slots, floating in and out of the walls of the Divine Temple, all became stupefied and rigid whenever they touched the blue-black light released by Luan Ji.

Luan Ji’s Forgotten Demon Path left the Wisdom personas created by Fu Ya confused, forgetting who they were.

This Great Demon God, well-versed in the path of forgetfulness, took advantage of Fu Ya’s external balancing of Pang Jian, took advantage of summoning the massive power of the Hall of Gods, to dissolve Fu Ya’s defenses from the inside!

"Kill!"

He Motian, Ti Wei, and Qi Ling, the three Great Demon Gods, broke free from their divine shackles.

In coordination with Luan Ji, they pounced on those stupefied and bewildered images of the God Spirits, eradicating image after image with their Demon Souls and Demon Tao.

In a short span of time, a large number of God Spirit images were annihilated.

"Luan Ji!"

Fu Ya’s exterior drastically changed.

The divine radiance eroding the Black Phoenix, the light striking the Ruin Domain, the gleam severing Pang Jian and the sensitivity to the stars, lost the support of many God Spirits’ laws, greatly reducing its power!

Pang Jian and the stars’ connection was instantly restored.

At that moment, he sensed waves of vast power surging from the Purgatory World.

Old Black Turtle, Black Dragon King, and Ice Armor Eel Dragon, these three had successfully entered the ranks of the High Gods.

The achievement of the three High-ranking Demon Gods, like the transformation of the "World Tree," like the assistance of Yuan Qi and the Bee King, would push him toward the next breakthrough in another way.
