The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 849 - 809: The Revival of the Demon

"To ascend within the godly system and ultimately become a Sovereign?"

Pang Jian’s true form, sitting quietly under the "World Tree" in Purgatory, squinted his eyes in deep thought.

When his Primordial Spirit communicated with Long Di, he closely monitored their conversation, harboring great curiosity about the various mysteries between heaven and earth.

He examined himself, scrutinized his mind, and gazed at the bright God Status within him.

In his God Status, he could clearly feel a powerful force that did not belong to him.

This force was the so-called Filthy Essence, and it was released by the so-called origin of the Black Phoenix.

The Black Phoenix, by releasing its origin and then recovering strands of it, even in a state of deathly stillness, could amplify its power, accumulating energy for its Nirvana resurrection.

Suddenly, Pang Jian thought about those in Purgatory who had ascended with the Filthy Essence, such as the Demon Gods or the top-tiers of the Alien Tribes; none could escape from this world.

Lie Yang, Shajia, and Aman, these three powerful beings, managed to break through the Heaven Forbidden only after discarding the Filthy Essence and being led by Luo Hongyan to become Middle-level Gods.

Heaven Forbidden and Boundary Wall are within the domain and authority of the world’s will.

The world’s will of Purgatory forbade anyone carrying Filthy Essence from leaving, which must be the ban on the power of the Black Phoenix!

It allowed the remains of the Black Phoenix to drift in the void of the Seventh Realm, permitting the dispersal of dense Filth Alien Power to create the Ancient Demon Clan.

But does it not want the power of the Black Phoenix to leave the Purgatory World?

Pang Jian stroked his chin, mulling over it, feeling that there was a significant difference between the situations in Netherworld Prison and Purgatory.

The strong beings from the Nether Tribe in Netherworld Prison followed the path laid by the Alien God Spirits in forging God Status, without needing to refine a strand of destiny; they could directly create God Status in Netherworld Prison.

As for himself, the current Demon Gods, and the even earlier strong beings from the Alien Tribes, all needed to merge with a Filthy Essence.

It seemed necessary to bear traces of the Black Phoenix.

Only because of the appearance of Luo Hongyan could they strip away the traces of the Black Phoenix from Lie Yang, Shajia, and Aman, allowing Yan Lie to break through the Heaven Forbidden and take them out.

Could it be that only another Sovereign can break the restrictions imposed by a fellow Sovereign?

What about himself?

Could the Black Phoenix origin in his God Status be stripped away from his true form?

If stripped away, what realm would he be in?

If not stripped away, what profound impact would there be later on?

Just as Pang Jian was puzzled, he sensed the majestic presences of the Mysterious Turtle and the Black Dragon King, both revived and, like the Mysterious Turtle, Middle-level Demon Gods.

In today’s Purgatory World, aside from him, the strongest forces might no longer be Zhu Ji.

Instead, they could be Middle-level Demon Gods like the Mysterious Turtle, the Black Dragon King, and Yuan Qi.

"Sigh!"

In the rolling waves of Filth Alien Power, two gigantic creatures appeared in the dim sky of the Fourth Realm, heading toward the Third Realm.

The two beasts resembled two huge fragments of land.

With their star-like bright Demon Pupils, as they soared through the sky, they loomed over the world below, both noticing the colossal "World Tree" and the figure sitting beneath the Divine Tree.

A pair of black demon eyes and a pair of green demon eyes fixated on that figure almost simultaneously.

But, they did not initiate soul communication.

Under the lead-gray thick clouds, the two enormous creatures merely paused for a moment before plunging into the dark clouds.

"Those two..."

Pang Ling appeared amidst a sea of green leaves and said with pursed lips indignantly, "Both of them were created by Father, and if they are what they are today, is it not thanks to Father’s meticulous care?"

"Having become a Demon God and regained his memories, why has he turned out like this?"

Similarly, when the Realm God Card was born, there was a subtle connection between the four, yet Pang Ling couldn’t sniff out any soul connections on Pang Jian and those two.

Clearly seeing each other, these two Demon Gods created by Pang Jian did not take the initiative to communicate.

"What truly brought Them back to life was the essence of the Bright Phoenix," Pang Jian said with a calm expression.

Pang Jian had already confirmed that the Black Phoenix’s path to nirvana must have unfolded smoothly.

The Black Dragon King and the Old Mysterious Turtle would surely be able to hear the will of the Black Phoenix.

Perhaps through Their bloodlines, or perhaps through the Black Phoenix’s origin within Their Demon Souls.

In any case, starting from the moment the Black Phoenix began to reveal its traces, all the Demon Gods in Purgatory would immediately treat It as their sole leader.

The Mysterious Turtle, the Black Dragon King, Yuan Qi, the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, and the Rock Bear were all Its loyal followers.

"What does the Sovereign of the Ancient Demon Clan plan to do in Purgatory?" Pang Ling wondered aloud.

Pang Jian frowned and said, "It’s possible that he plans to turn Purgatory into the Ancient Demon World of the Misty Sea, bringing forth a multitude of Demon Gods."

"Ah!" Pang Ling cried out, "Father, what about you? If the Ancient Demon Clan regains dominance over Purgatory, what will become of the Human Race? Is there any path to survival?"

Pang Jian was silent.

Soon after, he suddenly developed a strong sensation and sensed that the Filthy Alien Power from the world below was beginning to rise slowly again!

The dense Alien Power drifted from the Sixth Realm to the Fifth Realm and then converged in the Fifth Realm!

It felt like it was gathering strength!

Once the Filthy Alien Power in the Fifth Realm became dense enough, it would float upwards to the Fourth Realm and the Third Realm.

And once it had sufficiently accumulated in the Third Realm, it would continue rising to the Second Realm and even the First Realm!

Yan Lie had left, and Shajia, Lie Yang, and Aman had also retreated one by one. The Alien Tribes were forced to return to the Fifth Realm, thus declaring the failure of the "Ascension Plan."

Many people believed that the crisis stirred up by the Alien Tribes of the Fifth Realm had been successfully averted.

But the Filthy Alien Power lingering around the Fourth Realm and the Third Realm had not settled down with the retreat of the Alien Tribes; it persisted, turning these realms into a paradise for Ferocious Beasts and Spirit Beasts.

Now, the Filthy Alien Power from the world below had started to brew once more!

The source of the Filthy Alien Power was that Black Phoenix suspended in the Seventh Realm, continually dispersing energy, tirelessly transmitting it upwards.

It had awakened and embarked on the path to nirvana. What was It planning to do now?

Pang Jian’s expression grew grave as he actively established a soul connection with the Old Black Turtle and spoke frankly, "Where is He? Does He not intend to leave the Human Race any soil for survival?"

"Sorry, I also don’t know where He is."

"He said that when the great calamity erupts, the Boundary Wall will no longer be restrictive. The Human Race can ride on flying contraptions, moving through the Boundary Wall."

"True Gods can also break through Heaven Forbidden and leave."

"The future of the Human Race should not be confined to such a small world; they should soar through the Outer Starry Sky."

"He intends to take down the Purgatory Second Realm for our Ancient Demon Clan. He will not move on the First Realm for now."

"Pang Jian, have the Human Race Sects and forces of the Second Realm begin migrating to the First Realm."

"He will leave you ample time."

The Old Black Turtle conveyed the orders on behalf of that one.
