The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 1018 - 976 Defying Fate

"Whoosh!"

The "River of Destiny" that had been swirling around Li Yuqing suddenly dissipated before everyone’s eyes as if it had never appeared.

And the mysterious and unpredictable Power of Destiny also transformed into mottled specks of light, vanishing along with the disappearance of the river.

Countless eyes in Purgatory watched Li Yuqing with malice, all regarding her as Yi Hao’s puppet and treating her as the incarnation of the God of Destiny.

However, Li Yuqing had become as frail as a wisp of thread, seemingly having drained all the vitality and Divine Consciousness within her body, and she fell into a faint on the spot.

She seemed to be nothing more than a vessel used by Yi Hao to unleash his Divine Skills, and once she had exhausted all her strength, she was deemed worthless, no longer capable of other uses.

Her tall and graceful body began to descend from the sky.

"Buzz buzz!"

The Sky-splitting Sword emitted a mournful hum, seemingly aware that its master was in poor condition, surrounding her body with its sword light.

"Sss!"

The dazzling sword light burst forth, sharp as a cold knife, warning those lurking enemies with covetous eyes.

"We can’t blame her."

Just as many were about to raise an army to demand justice, Lin Baixiang raised his hand to stop them and said, "If it were not for this great disaster, she might truly have been recommended by Yi Hao to the Temple of Destiny and become a God Spirit who wields the peculiar techniques of destiny."

"What a pity..."

This senior True God from Sword Tower sighed and said, "The implications of this battle are too great, and neither Sovereigns nor Divine Kings can remain uninvolved. Like her, people like us are but ants in the raging torrent."

"We cannot influence the outcome, and she cannot break free from Yi Hao; we should not impose blame upon her."

"Besides, dare any of you to harm her and not fear Pang Jian holding you accountable afterward?"

Lin Baixiang’s cold gaze fell on those powerhouses from Eastland, as well as others from the First Realm.

At these words, the crowds fell silent as if struck by frost.

"Pang Jian..."

The mere thought of that figure who dared to stand up to Fu Ya and Tianyu in the Outer Misty Sea and had thwarted the Purgatory catastrophe several times made them instantly lower their banners and quieten their drums.

...

Outside in the heavens, atop the vast and bizarre Mysterious Fog Sea.

A thick bolt of lightning, released from those silver-luminous eyes, cascaded down onto the Misty Sea like a waterfall.

The lightning reached directly into the Thunder Pond at the Thunder Divine Court, which housed many Divine Temples, causing thousands of Thunderbolt patterns to abruptly spring forth within it.

The Green Giant Dragon soaring over the Thunder Divine Court roared up at the sky, with patterns proliferating heavily on the surface of its scales.

"Ch-ch!"

The lightning existing in all the Divine Temples, attracted by a strong magnetic field, surged crazily towards the Green Giant Dragon.

"Dominator Realm!"

Pang Lin’s eyes gleamed deeply.

She realized in a glance that Thunder God, having broken free from the "Heaven Forbidden" layer of Purgatory, had now received the favor of the highest will from beyond the heavens, having many mysteries of the Thunder Tao directly bestowed upon him.

The high-ranking Thunder God, in a flash, ascended to the Dominator’s body.

Amidst the dim haze, Pang Lin suddenly looked up to see Yi Hao’s expression calm, yet a mocking smile was escaping the corners of his mouth.

"You wish to blend thunder and soul on a whim to become a Sovereign or reach the God Dominion Realm, but we will not let things go as you wish."

Yi Hao used a "we."

Because it was those silver-luminous eyes that released the Thunderbolt Profound Argumentation, representing the highest will above the Misty Sea.

This indicated that as the will of the Mysterious Fog Sea made itself known, that being was also not content to be outdone, influencing the battle in its way.

"Whoosh!"

A stream mixed with the light of myriad wisdoms poured down from those silver-luminous eyes, flowing directly into Bai Zi’s mind.

In the innermost depths of Bai Zi’s brain, her originally serene blue Sea of Souls instantly became muddled and unclear.

The wisdom laws that Fu Ya had awakened to in her lifetime roamed within this Sea of Souls, stirring up the waters that Bai Zi had refined, guiding Bai Zi to ascend through a different path.

Following Thunder God, Bai Zi was also forcefully infused with power by the celestial will from beyond, propelling her to become the second Fu Ya.

"Black Phoenix, we have so many means at our disposal. You wish to ascend to the ultimate path through the integration of thunder and the soul’s Great Tao within a Human Race body in this lifetime, we will break that path for you right now," Yi Hao said with a smile.

As soon as the words were uttered, another resplendent Starlight burst forth from those silvery radiant eyes, and immediately a vast and boundless Star River was branded onto Xinghuan’s forehead.

Xinghuan, born of the Star Tribe, received this extraordinary Star River, and a surge of Divine Aura suddenly flooded his being.

"You are one of my Star Tribe, and now I shall help you become a Sovereign, which is a tremendous honor for you. Xinghuan, remember you are from the Star Tribe outside, not some Realm God of the Misty Sea," Yi Hao’s divine voice rippled over the Star River on Xinghuan’s forehead.

Unlike Bai Zi, Thunder God, Black Dragon King, and Yuan Qi, Xinghuan had retained his Spiritual Intelligence and had not been overly tainted by external forces.

He had always held Yi Hao in high esteem, considering him the strongest in the history of the Star Tribe.

After obtaining a Realm God Card, he had hoped to use it to break through realm limitations and become a Sovereign like the Old Clan Leader.

Now, having lost that Realm God Card, Yi Hao utilized the power of the celestial will from beyond to pave the way for his stronger realm and to send him to the Dominator Realm.

He almost instantly changed his stance.

"Clan Leader, as you say, I am a member of the Star Tribe, and I also hail from the Outer Star River. And you have always been the pillar of my faith; naturally, I will listen to everything you say," Xinghuan said, bowing respectfully.

He opened up his heart and body, permitting the Star River on his forehead to seep in and intermingle with his God Status.

Soon, brilliant Starlight emanated from him.

In this Star River enshrouded by the grey fog, he accurately sensed every star and felt that he could change the trajectory of the stars with the Divine Power within him.

"Always remember, you are one of my Star Tribe people," Yi Hao said, nodding his head with a smile, pleased with Xinghuan’s attitude.

"Howl!"

The Black Dragon King, Yuan Qi, Old Black Turtle, and Ice Armor Eel Dragon, who had also escaped the Misty Sea, roared incessantly with intense madness of slaughter in their Demon Pupils.

Yi Hao frowned and turned to look at the silver-radiant eyes, asking, "Why?"

Thunder God, Xinghuan, and Bai Zi, who were stronger than the Black Dragon King, Yuan Qi, Old Black Turtle, and Ice Armor Eel Dragon, ascended to the High God realm earlier.

From the moment they left the "Heaven Forbidden layer" of Purgatory, they couldn’t cause the slightest ripple and were easily twisted and tainted by its will.

Why then could the four Great Demons still put up a fight?

"Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!"

Within the depths of the four Great Demons’ Demon Pupils, a vague seven-colored shadow burst forth all of a sudden.

The shadow, like an imprint deep within the souls of the four Great Demons, dispersed a magnificent Seven-color God Light and struggled against the will that was tainting them.

Pair by pair, the seven-colored shadows in the Demon Pupils became clearer from the vagueness.

"Pang Jian!" yelled Yi Hao, his voice betraying a loss of composure once again.

He, who had used Li Yuqing to execute the Destiny Divine Art, felt he could strike a heavy blow to Pang Jian using their power as those powerful beings flew out of Purgatory. Unexpectedly, Pang Jian managed to maintain his divine shadow within the Demon Souls of the four Great Demons.

What Pang Jian was currently dealing with was not him, Yi Hao, but the supreme celestial will from beyond!

"You are certainly not Pang Jian!" Yi Hao grew more horrified, he felt something was off no matter how he looked at it and was convinced that Pang Jian had been thoroughly descended upon by the will within the Misty Sea.
