The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 861 - 821 The Sudden Emergence of Human Nature

The entire "Sky-reaching Catastrophe Formation" couldn’t function without the pivotal key that was Pang Jian!

His Chaos Sea, the profound harmony with his Dantian and the Purgatory World, were the necessary conditions to activate the "Sky-reaching Catastrophe Formation"!

And he, only knew this now!

"Are you planning to use my body through the Sky-reaching Catastrophe Formation to continue suppressing the Black Phoenix? Leaving the box here was your prepared contingency, was it not?"

Pang Jian inquired with his mind.

"Your shortcoming lies in your inadequate understanding, your realm is still too low," replied God Luo, whose true body was in the Outer Starry Sky, with a light smile that bore a trace of human warmth. "Pang Jian, despite carrying extraordinary treasures, it’s a pity you know nothing of their wonders."

"The Realm God of the previous generation left you things that you haven’t figured out at all."

"In terms of artifacts and realm, you remain at a lower dimension."

In the Star River above the box, a magnificent and dazzling Divine Shadow slowly emerged.

His tall and slender Divine Body was enveloped in a dazzling source of light, with pairs of white wings spread behind him, covering many stars and even the sun and moon.

Whenever He revealed His true form, the sun, moon, and stars ought to dim and lose their light.

It seemed as if He was the embodiment of light itself!

Without lifting their heads to gaze, all life forms, heaven and earth, and all things below could sense His presence.

And this was not limited to Purgatory.

The Dark Prison, Thunder Prison, Netherworld Prison—any "prison" worlds that could see the Star River were shaken by the realization of His presence.

For the dark starry sky had suddenly brightened!

Beings from different "prison" worlds all recognized that the Sovereign holding the authority of light, referred to as God Luo by all, was unleashing His power in the Outer Starry Sky.

"My true body, having entered a box, has lost all connection with me!"

In the Netherworld Prison, Pang Jian abruptly flew out of the palace and appeared in the center of heaven and earth.

This Pang Jian, once looking up, could also see a massive light source, which housed a tall God Spirit with pairs of wings.

"God Luo!"

Long Di and Bai Zi also flew out, equally stunned by the grand light source in the starry sky.

Long Di, who had always been confident and proud, believing he could face the Sovereign in battle by leveraging the will of the Netherworld Realm, suddenly tasted bitterness in his heart as he felt the immense and intense light source.

He finally understood that he had always been deceiving himself.

Should a Sovereign like God Luo or the Wisdom Goddess truly come to the Netherworld Realm, he would likely be utterly defeated at first encounter.

"The world He is targeting must be Purgatory," Pang Jian took a deep breath, hurriedly trying to communicate with his true body in secret, but no matter what, he couldn’t make contact. "He still refuses to give up!"

Bai Zi exclaimed in surprise, "Is His anomaly because of you?"

Pang Jian’s expression was grave as he said, "Most likely."

...

Purgatory.

"Primordial Spirit."

"Sea of Souls."

"Luan Ji, Fahua, He Motian..."

"Mysterious Turtle, Hei, Pang Ling..."

In the mini cosmos within the box, the origin within Pang Jian’s God Status began to echo with faint ripples.

These ripples stirred the Spirit Sea of Consciousness, causing the vast Sea to surge with tides as he tried to call out to the outside, to once again control his own body.

However, his entire radiant being couldn’t penetrate the walls of the box with his perception consciousness.

This artifact named "Universe Box" was evidently tightly controlled by God Luo from beyond the heavens.

What was formerly an object easily linked in perception was now inscrutable, lost without trace or direction.

"Stop wasting your energy."

God Luo spoke softly, with a laugh that carried a mocking undertone.

"I am only temporarily borrowing your body to help suppress that Black Phoenix, to make its path to nirvana less smooth."

"For you, this is also a good thing, don’t you agree?"

Another bright light beam shot down from the emptiness atop the box.

"Whoosh!"

As a colossal source of light in the box, Pang Jian’s body released an even stronger glow.

The light then transformed into visible beams of gentle lightning, which encompassed the True Essence of Laws of the sun, moon, and stars.

All the mysteries related to light that he had diligently pondered, branded in his God Status and Dantian, were amplified by the Power of Light of God Luo.

"Crack!"

Pieces of crystal the size of fingernails materialized out of thin air in the mini cosmos inside the box, crystalline embodiments of light.

Upon closer inspection, it resembled the divine fragment symbolizing light that embodies God Luo in the mind!

Before Luo Hongyan perished, Pang Jian used his Divine Consciousness to condense a "Dark Canopy Boat," receiving the four bursting divine fragments of Him and ultimately attained the godly imprints of life and the majority of the Cold Ice sigil.

Light, death, these two statuses of godliness ultimately shattered.

Pang Jian had thought that the two shattered statuses of godliness left truly not a trace within him.

Now he knew he was wrong.

Anything that has ever existed, anything that has ever manifested within him, simply couldn’t have left no trace at all.

— It depended only on when God Luo wished to use them.

Like at this moment.

When God Luo’s Power of Light began to converge within him, using his body to activate the "Sky-reaching Catastrophe Formation," the extinguished powers of light appeared so vividly.

"Crack! Crack, crack!"

The radiance released from inside him condensed more crystals of light in the box, floating about piece by piece.

Like countless actual stars now within the box!

"Bright."

God Luo whispered in the distant Outer Star River.

The thousands of tiny crystals of light swallowed the radiance released from within Pang Jian and also devoured the light from the star river above, displaying their miraculous might within the box.

In the skies above Bagua City, the ancient copper box slowly rose, the light initially glittered on the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar.

Subsequently, it was the Fifth Continent, and then even the Fifth Realm!

The gloomy Fifth Realm was illuminated by that Heavenly Tribulation Pillar, by that continent, as if it were a fierce white day!

Never had there been a moment when the light of the Fifth Realm could surpass the upper world, never.

Until today!

This day, the Purgatory World seemed to have been flipped upside down, and the Fifth Realm became the region closest to the Outer Realm starry sky.

"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!"

The Filth Alien Power began to sink at a speed far exceeding its original ascending pace, more and more crazily and swiftly!

Before long, the Third Realm of Purgatory was devoid of Filth Alien Power.

Merely several hours had passed when the Filth Alien Power of the Fourth Realm had also mostly dissipated.

Along with the "Ascension to Heaven Battle," after much time spent rising, the Filth Alien Power that came up, under the influence of the "Sky-reaching Catastrophe Formation," suddenly lost control while displaying its wondrous power.

...

"Why is this happening?"

Yu Xin of the Heaven Clan, Dazzling Shadow of the Devil Scale Tribe, and the many Alien Tribes warriors who were forced to fall back to the Fifth Realm, gazed from various Continents at the fifth Heavenly Tribulation Pillar.

Looking at the huge copper box, they also looked at the brightness on the body of the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar.

The seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars were originally erected to suppress the Alien Tribes’ flight, to prevent them from ever entering the upper world.

Who could have thought that those pillars could also alter the direction of the Filth Alien Power’s flow?

"After the one called Luo Hongyan was obliterated, the laws of the Purgatory World changed, and the Ancient Demon Clan welcomed their revival. The so-called Filth Alien Power was the energy emanated by that Demon Sovereign of the Ancient Demon Clan from His remains."

"The rise of these powers was an expression of His will, and He was pushing for the expansion of the Ancient Demon Clan."

"The descent of the powers, does it mean... that He was not able to truly control the Purgatory’s situation?"

Dazzling Shadow pondered.

After deliberation, she used the Demon Knife she held to communicate with the Great Demon Gods beyond the heavens.

"A new anomaly has started in Purgatory; it must be Pang Jian entering the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar, causing the Filth Alien Power that surged up to sink. I..."

Dazzling Shadow meticulously reported her findings without missing a detail.

Then, she quietly awaited the response from those Great Demon Gods.

"From now on, you may regard Pang Jian as one of us, a part of the Demon Gods. Toward Pang Jian, as toward He Motian, as toward me, Luan Ji, you must harbor no more hostility."

An unfamiliar will transmitted from the Demon Array within the Demon Knife.

Dazzling Shadow, with a dumbfounded face, uttered in astonishment, "To treat him like a Great Demon God?"

"Correct, just as you would a Great Demon God. Pang Jian, with his human lineage, as well as He Motian from the Giant Spirit Race, is one of us."

"Regardless of origin, as long as one cultivates the Demon Path Truths, as long as there is achievement, he is one of us."

"These were the rules set by Lord Demon Sky at the beginning, which we have been following all along, and will continue to follow in the future."

"As for you, just follow along with us."

Luan Ji said in an indisputable tone.

Dazzling Shadow bowed her head, immersed her will in the Demon Knife; it took her a while before she gently nodded, "Understood."
