The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 1005 - 964: Breaking Through the Boundary

Unlike Fu Ya and Tianyu, Luo Hongyan had long possessed all the conditions necessary to ascend to Divine King status.

On the day when the fragments of the "Path of Light’s Origin" were completely collected and assimilated into her Divine Body, she could have charged toward the Realm of Divine King, surpassing the other three Sovereigns in one fell swoop.

She did not do so, merely waiting for the birth of the Black Phoenix, to fuse light with darkness!

By plundering the Black Phoenix’s Path of Extreme Darkness and merging light and dark into one being, she believed it would propel her into becoming the mightiest Divine King—it was the goal she had tirelessly sought.

Only by achieving this could she remain without regret, become a more powerful Divine King, and withstand the supreme will above the Misty Sea in the future. freewebnσvel.cøm

But now, due to the terrifying pressure brought by the God of Destiny, Yi Hao, and the shaking of her God Status, she was forced to complete her ascension to Divine King with reluctance in her heart.

"If you must push me, then I shall grant your wish."

Her resonant divine voice spread with the light throughout the heavens and the earth, endlessly echoing across various worlds.

Boundless and expansive light filled this Star River, lighting everything.

Above the Misty Sea, across the more distant horizon, within the "Prison" World in the midst of the Misty Sea, all shone tens of times more brilliantly!

Without even looking up at her, the common people all felt the piercing strong light.

They felt as if they were in the midst of a dazzling sea of light, their hearts and bodies filled with Luo Hongyan’s radiant brilliance, leaving not a trace of gloom or haze within them.

Even within the Ruin Domain’s interior, the brightness had escalated by many magnitudes.

It seemed as though no darkness existed between heaven and earth any longer.

Even the suspended "Illusory Void Realm" in the high sky, including the Black Phoenix within it, facing Luo Hongyan’s strong breakthrough, could only rely on the power of a Divine Artifact to conceal themselves.

The "Illusory Void Realm" weaved unsettled through the gaps of space, no longer daring to appear in the real world, fearing Luo Hongyan’s mighty influence.

"God of Light."

"Light God."

"God Luo."

Countless songs of praise rose in different Temples of Light outside this world.

Those halls erected for the God of Light were all enveloped in intense light, where the tangible Divine Statues of Luo Hongyan also crystallized in an instant.

Statue after statue of the divine seemed to blink into reality, rippling with vast Divine Aura.

Luo Hongyan’s will, her Power of Light, the Great Tao Truth she comprehended, manifested within each divine statue body, making those halls dwell in endless radiance.

Those beings who knelt before the Divine Temple, who worshiped her day and night, were all as excited as if they were mad.

They, too, sensed Luo Hongyan’s miraculous metamorphosis.

Their deity of light was launching toward a higher realm, and once successful, they too would benefit.

"Whoosh!"

A star, which was in perfect harmony with Luo Hongyan and called the Star of Light, suddenly burst forth with divine light that commanded awe from all beings.

Rings of light encircled the Star of Light, pulled by Luo Hongyan’s divine power, it sped through the immense Star River, rushing directly toward her.

Space and distance seemed completely unbound under the intense light.

In just an instant, this Star of Light had traversed the infinite void and now appeared behind Luo Hongyan’s Divine Body.

It was incredibly brilliant, blindingly bright, with neither living beings nor traces of god Spirits within.

On the surface of the star, in the inner world, Divine Crystals of light could be found in abundance.

That was Luo Hongyan’s fortune.

It was the Strange Treasure she had gathered from the Heavens Star River, exerting all her physical and material resources, all in preparation for her advance to the Realm of Divine King.

Throughout its mountains and rivers, deep within its streams, across its wilderness and desolate plains, the Law of Light circulated, telling to the world of the miracles light brought.

It was both a star and a Supreme Divine Artifact refined by Luo Hongyan!

"Boom!"

The Star of Light suddenly trembled, and countless Divine Crystals of light shattered in an instant.

Like tangible Power of Light, it diffused vast and boundless, effortlessly absorbed by Luo Hongyan into her Divine Body, becoming the power for her to advance to the Realm of Divine King.

Throughout this process, the "Chaos Star River" was completely covered by the Power of Light, and all the strong beings were unable to stop it.

"Realm of Divine King!"

Underneath the strong light, the "World Tree," and Pang Ling retracted into its canopy, felt a pressure more uncomfortable than facing the invasion of the Power of Destiny.

Pang Ling and the "World Tree," not being of flesh and blood by nature and not following the path of divinity or possessing foreign tribal bloodlines,

consequently, Yi Hao’s Destiny Divine Power had an almost negligible effect on them.

When Yi Hao used the Mystery of Fate to cover the entire Star River with the Law of Destiny, causing countless Demon Gods and Misty Sea Deities to perish, they were almost unscathed.

Now it was different.

Luo Hongyan, still in the phase of ascending to the Divine King status, the boundless and terrifying radiance already caused her branches to snap, burdening her beyond capacity.

"Crack!"

Branches shattered, and the thick trunk cracked.

With a physical body, Pang Ling’s beautiful face was covered in fear, and she cried out, "Connect."

She and the "God and Demon Origin Academy" within the Ruin Domain felt each other in an instant.

That "World Tree" standing in the center of the hall, once somewhat ethereal, materialized visibly fast.

The external Pang Ling and the "World Tree" gradually became faint and translucent, like flowers in a mirror or the moon’s reflection on water.

The "World Tree" within the second "God and Demon Origin Academy" seemed to grow even more lush, its bark patterns dense and profound.

He had thus completed the transfer of power, entering the Ruin Domain from the outer world, re-emerging in that "God and Demon Origin Academy" to evade the majesty of the light.

"Light!"

In the center of the seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars, on a towering altar built from the ruins of the Hall of Gods, the Bee King’s golden compound eyes flickered with uncertainty.

He watched Luo Hongyan undergoing transformation, felt the breath of the Star of Light, and the strangeness of the Illusory Void Realm, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed.

"It shouldn’t be like this, it shouldn’t be like this."

The Bee King murmured softly to himself, and then all those golden bees coming and going from the beehive suddenly shrunk back inside.

In the next moment, the seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars surrounded the altar and the beehive and rushed toward the Ruin Domain that outwardly resembled a Divine King’s Skull, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The Bee King, during Luo Hongyan’s advancement, also chose to temporarily evade the limelight.

Above the Misty Sea, those ancient human True Gods that had been materialized avoided the slaughter of the Power of Destiny.

At this time, due to the insane surge of Luo Hongyan’s Power of Light, they all broke free from their petrified state.

Under the boundless authority of the God of Light, the numerous human True Gods felt an overwhelming sense of their own insignificance.

Great terror grew in their hearts, making them want nothing more than to instinctively flee from danger.

"Huff! Huff! Huffhuff!"

They subconsciously sank into the Misty Sea, feeling that only this sea of mist could shelter them.

Strangely enough...

As they sank towards the Misty Sea, they suddenly felt the "Heaven Forbidden" layer of Purgatory, and then, like wayfarers returning home, they passed directly through Heaven Forbidden and returned to the Purgatory World.

"The will of the Misty Sea and the will of Purgatory, it is guiding us!"

Lin Baixiang felt stunned for a moment and realized he was floating below the "Heaven Forbidden" layer of Purgatory. Beside him were the Thunder God, Bai Zi, Xinghuan, and other high-ranking Demon Gods like Old Black Turtle.

He couldn’t help exclaiming, "The God King of Light is about to emerge, even it is being cautious, helping us to avoid this calamity!"

"Purgatory! We’ve actually come back!"

"Our ancestral land!"

Du Tianyan, along with ancient True Gods like Huang Yin, could not help but shed tears upon their return to Purgatory.

After tens of thousands of years, they had broken free from the heavenly prison of Purgatory; they thought they could soar through the Boundless Star River, yet reality proved drastically different from their dreams.

In the world beyond, they had become scapegoats, hunted down by the forces subordinate to several Sovereigns, watching companions die one by one.

They had fantasized countless times about returning, and sometimes thought that it would have been better to remain in Purgatory forever.

Staying in Purgatory would have meant not enduring such a tragic fate, not ending up in such a world.

Regrettably, before the great calamity truly arrived, the Boundary Wall of the Purgatory Realm had massive restrictions.

Except for Pang Qi, who possessed the Realm God Card, none of those who had left could break through the Boundary Wall and return.

People like Du Tianyan and Mu Qingya, who had frequented the Misty Sea, found the Boundary Wall of Purgatory and tried all sorts of methods to return.

Without exception, all failed.

The desire to flee back to Purgatory, to hide from the pursuit of Alien God Spirits using Purgatory’s restrictions, was also difficult to achieve.

"How sad."

Mu Qingya looked up to the sky and sighed, his figure desolately saying, "As the God of Light ascends, we instead flee back to our homeland and become shrinking turtles again."

"We’re not capable, but that doesn’t mean nobody is!"

Dong Tianze snorted coldly and pointed at the huge Divine King’s Skull and the fused Pang Jian, saying, "He’s still in the Star River beyond, still under the illumination of the Power of Light, he hasn’t shrunk back to Purgatory!"

"Pang Jian!"

The gazes of the beings of Purgatory converged on the Divine King’s Skull.

They could see that skull burning with light and flames, turned into gold iron, still drifting uncertainly in the void.

And Pang Jian, with his Primordial Spirit and body united, stood upon this massive skull, enduring the repeated onslaught of the Power of Light, his stature unmoved.

"So what if he hasn’t shrunk back?"

"A single God of Destiny like Yi Hao annihilated almost all the God Spirits and even nearly breached the Ruin Domain. Now, with Luo Hongyan about to reach the Realm of Divine King, he’d be better off returning to Purgatory!"

"Exactly! Right now, Purgatory might be the safest refuge!"

"While there’s life, there’s hope. He should return to Purgatory first."

"Once the God of Light becomes a God King, where in the Misty Sea and the outer world will there be any refuge left? By then, Purgatory and other ’Prison’ Worlds will ultimately be destroyed one by one!"

Empowered individuals from the continents of the First Realm, deeply shaken by the powers of Yi Hao and Luo Hongyan, began to discuss with a sense of hopeless negativity.

Yi Hao was already so terrifying; Luo Hongyan, who was about to complete her ascension to Divine King, would only be more fearsome.

Even the Black Phoenix was retreating; what made Pang Jian think he could contend against those two?

"Eh?"

Atop his God Status, Pang Jian’s Primordial Spirit Body suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

As the Power of Light spread endlessly, this part of the "Chaos Star River," which had been covered by the Power of Destiny, seemed to slip free from fate’s grasp, his God Status no longer influenced by that silvery radiant eye.

He was now free.
