The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 889 - 849: Crossing the Spirit

"Thump!"

Wood Tribe People who regarded Pang Ling as their sole faith suddenly dropped dead in large numbers.

An invisible Death Force permeated the bodies of those weaker-willed Wood Tribe warriors through the perceptual threads connecting them with Pang Ling, forcibly transforming their life-force into Death Force.

As their vitality extinguished, the sinister power of death burgeoned, leading to the mass demise of the Wood Tribe People.

Upon their falling, the intent of death from within their bodies spread outward, causing the surrounding trees, insects, flowers, and vegetation to also perish.

A terrifying aura of death suddenly erupted, causing Pang Ling’s thousands of soul lights to flicker and wail within the massive tree.

"It’s all my fault, my fault for getting close to see."

"I brought this Death Force upon this world, and now my followers from the Wood Tribe will all die because of me."

"Father, I..."

Currently, as merely a level eleven Exotic Spirit, He had no means to contend with this caliber of deathly corruption.

His luxuriant main body, once radiant, began to dim amidst His wailing, the usually bright leaves turning wan and pallid.

A sickly grey hue started to manifest itself upon His trunk.

Below the wide Divine Tree, Pang Jian’s gaze was profound, his expression icy.

"Death, life, two opposing forces."

The moment the thought arose, his focus converged upon himself. In this world pieced together from numerous Fragment Lands, he manifested his unique Divine Body.

"Boom!"

A colossal figure, emanating resplendent golden light, stood tall in this realm.

"Life!"

He murmured softly.

A rich sea of Blood and Flesh Essence Energy, turning into a deep red ocean, spread out from his center, swiftly enveloping the entire land.

Within the oceanic blood-red, numerous crimson bolts of lightning roamed in search of any suspicious presence.

His overarching Divine Consciousness also enveloped the entire land, permeating throughout the World Tree, now visibly tainted by the alien Death Force, and lingering inside the bodies of Wood Tribe People whose life essence transformed into Death Force.

He suddenly sensed an invisibly fine grey-white crystalline line twisting like a Spirit Snake.

When magnified tenfold, the grey-white crystalline line appeared to be a construct intertwined with even finer chains of laws, exuding an extreme and pure aura of death, seeking to transform all life and plants into inanimate objects.

This grey-white line was rapidly growing by drawing in the breath of death.

And, it seemed to have the intent to materialize from its invisible state to a tangible one.

"This pure Death Force seems even more extreme than the shard of God Status that Luo Hongyan shattered."

"Whoever is releasing this force, if not a Sovereign, must be someone who has abandoned all else to fully master the Law of Death."

"Who could it be?"

As numerous thoughts arose, Pang Jian merged his Divine Consciousness with those crimson lightning bolts imbued with the Law of Life, using them to destroy all the grey-white crystalline lines within the blood-colored sea he created.

The crimson lightning, upon contact with the grey-white lines, marked a direct confrontation of two opposing laws!

"Pop!"

Suddenly, visions of worlds devoid of life invaded the sea of Pang Jian’s mind.

He saw a star domain completely desolate.

This star domain had dozens of stars, with grand buildings on them revealing traces of an advanced civilization.

However, within those cities and states, decayed corpses were scattered everywhere.

Spirit Race, Ghost Clan, Demon Clan, Heaven Clan; corpses of various Outer Realm races lay across dozens of stars.

Enshrouded by a thin grey mist, it lent an air of all-encompassing death to the star domain.

Death Force and the Law of Death permeated that part of the Star River, blanketing every star within.

Gazing upon this desolate star river, Pang Jian felt the overwhelming and profound breath of death approaching as if to engulf him and strip away the vitality within his robust body.

Within his consciousness, countless grey-white nets wove together, aiming to penetrate his body and soul.

Above a particularly lifeless star, there was a towering Divine Platform constructed of bleached white bones, where grey-white crystalline lines were converging at the center.

In the hazy vagueness, a bizarre body was about to take shape.

"Transcend spirit."

"Transcend spirit."

"Transcend spirit."

In the star domain filled with the sense of death, those already decayed corpses that had long since perished whispered voices like lost souls.

...

Thunder Prison.

Yuan Yi, sitting atop a Realm God Card, was meditating with his eyes closed, hesitating whether to unleash a catastrophe within this "prison" world to compensate for the deficit in His Blood and Flesh Essence Energy.

"Transcend spirit."

A bizarre voice abruptly emanated from the Realm God Card in His grasp.

The Old Ape’s body jolted, and, like a frightened cat, he leaped up on the Realm God Card, shrieking, "The Transcend spirit is still causing trouble! After so many years of death, He still wishes to rise from the ashes!"

Pang Lin, who was absorbing the Thunderous Lightning from the skies with the "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree" and planning to ascend to the ranks of the most powerful through a novel way of the Great Tao, said with a cold gaze, "If He wishes to revive, the conditions are extremely stringent."

"A level thirteen World Tree could bring Him back to life!" Yuan Yi rubbed his fluffy hands, saying, "The power He left behind has actually infiltrated into Purgatory, into the body of that young ’World Tree’."

Pang Lin frowned, "How did His power get in there? Through my brother?"

"Hmm," Yuan Yi grimaced and said, "Your brother has established a connection with a Wood Tribe Realm God. That Realm God of the Wood Tribe has been guarding that ’World Tree’ blasted by the Transcend spirit for years. Your brother found Him, and then..."

Yuan Yi succinctly described the course of events.

"The Transcend spirit fell during the process of ascending to Sovereignty, obstructed by a few others." Pang Lin was somewhat worried and said, "He was only one step away from becoming a true Sovereign. As for my brother’s side..."

She hesitated, plotting how she might utilize certain methods to help Pang Jian deal with the remnants of the Transcend spirit’s Death Force.

"The Transcend spirit was once a leader of the Alien Gods from beyond the heavens. Had He truly become a Sovereign, those Alien Gods would have become significant," Yuan Yi rambled on with scratching ears and cheeks, "The path the Transcend spirit sought was to transform the most vigorous blood and flesh life, the tree-rich worlds, all into His Kingdom of the Dead."

"Among the heavens and earth, the most vibrant blood and life belong to Demon Gods like me, and I am single-mindedly pursuing the Great Tao of life."

"Our Great Tao paths clash, and if the Transcend spirit can reappear in this world, He will certainly come after me!"

Yuan Yi didn’t care about Pang Jian’s fate, but within Pang Jian’s Divine Body, there contained the quintessence of His own life — it was the Life Vitality that Pang Lin had previously irrigated into him.

Should Pang Jian die, his rich life force being transformed into Death Alien Power, along with the endorsement of the "World Tree," there truly was hope for the Transcend spirit to resurrect in Purgatory.

A potential Sovereign, appearing in Purgatory, should He enter the Seventh Realm and see the remains of the Black Phoenix.

The consequences were unthinkable.

"You too are one of the Realm Gods, since you can hear the voice of the Transcend spirit, can you participate?" Pang Lin sharply inquired.

"Only if Pang Jian calls, and my power rushes forth unobstructed, then I can attempt to join the battle," said Yuan Yi, also anxious not to see his eternal enemy revive, but He was not the "First Realm God"; He could only sense a little of Pang Jian’s condition.

"If he exercises the authority of the ’First Realm God’ and summons the other Realm Gods to join the battle, it should be possible to prevent the Transcend spirit’s rebirth."

"Now... Eh!"

Yuan Yi suddenly cried out in alarm.

All of a sudden, He found the Realm God Card held by Pang Jian releasing a strong light like a giant pupil.

This allowed Yuan Yi to see the scenes of that world.

A towering golden Divine Body released an expansive sea of deep red blood, while the crimson lightning that symbolized the Law of Life clashed with gray-white crystalline filaments.

"Crack!"

In that world, the sound of laws shattering reverberated. freёweɓnovel.com

In the drowsy void, a silent star domain flickered in and out of visibility, as more gray-white crystalline threads drifted out from that star domain, only to be annihilated by streaks of crimson lightning.

Meanwhile, the viscous blood-red, like a surging river, flowed into that silent star domain.

The star domain, which was overall gray and white, being smeared by the deep red, slowly began to change meaning.

Death was no longer the main theme of this world.

And beneath Pang Jian’s golden Divine Body, the newly reborn "World Tree," infused with Pang Jian’s refined crimson ethereal lightning, was completing another truth of life for the "World Tree."

That domain, which was supposed to be under Yuan Yi’s control, pertained to the Great Tao of life for blood and flesh beings.
