The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 1026 - 984 Driving Away the Fog

Mysterious fog, like a sea or a tide, surged from all directions toward Bai Zi, whom it had occupied.

Bai Zi’s feet had already been withdrawn from the Boundary Wall of Netherworld Prison, floating in a vacuum where the fog had been cleared.

It looked at the same vacuum space, the deep blue Sea of Souls, and the grand, imposing Hall of Gods, atop which sat the Bee King.

The Sea of Souls and the Hall of Gods were right next to each other, yet an invisible barrier kept them from merging.

Inside the hall, the God Spirits, originally in the form of bees, had already died unbeknownst to anyone.

The Bee King’s golden compound eyes showed a struggle as it tried to mobilize the power of the Hall of Gods, wanting to enter the Sea of Souls that would greatly enhance Him.

In His compound eyes, silver radiance occasionally flickered, cleansing His Spiritual Intelligence.

He was in pain, unwilling, full of frustration.

Yet, there was nothing He could do.

He, or rather it, originally came from the Outer Star River.

Sensing the malice from the external will, it chose to hide in the Mysterious Fog Sea and made a pact with the will of the Mysterious Fog Sea.

When it realized that the clash of the two supreme wills led to the downfall of beings like itself one after another,

It believed that everything those two did was merely to capture and enhance themselves by killing beings like it.

It tried to escape the fate of the other fallen beings, thus it chose to resist both, aspiring to become a supreme being like them, unbounded by any force.

But now, it was still a step short.

Missing by a fraction meant being wrong by a thousand miles; without this step, all its efforts would be in vain.

"You are a Soul Path Origin, and though you’re smarter than the others, you are ultimately not one of us."

The external supreme will that possessed Bai Zi existed in the void above Netherworld Prison, spoke indifferently.

Right now, Bai Zi’s riddled body was dispersing silver radiance which became brighter and brighter, annihilating all the approaching fog.

The radiance kept spreading outwards, instantly spanning millions of miles, continually driving away the incoming gray fog.

When the fog and the silver radiance touched, faint sounds of the Great Tao colliding spread, intimidating all beings.

Those who could listen to the collision of the Great Tao had countless laws form lightning in their minds; understanding just one could allow them to ascend to the ranks of a God Spirit.

Either by the path of God Status or by an alternative route of the Human Race, one could achieve the status of a True God.

This was the essence of wisdom held by the two over billions of years—the laws of Heavenly Dao they governed.

The tremor of the Great Tao’s sound, the clash between the fog and silver radiance, was the true confrontation between the two supreme wills!

"It’s too terrifying."

"Is this the moment when the game between the two wills finally begins?"

"We, compared to them, are mere ants!"

In the Ruin Domain, several Great Demon Gods, their Demon Bodies frozen and immobilized, only their Demon Souls still active.

They communicated with each other through their Demon Souls, feeling utterly insignificant in this level of battle.

Merely on the might of Bai Zi’s blood and Divine Body, the external will had manifested miracles heavily injuring Pang Jian’s Primordial Spirit, causing the Thunder Divine Court and the thirteenth level "World Tree" to be in a frozen state.

They could perceive that the previously retreating fog was not out of defeat but a feint.

The supreme will within the Misty Sea wanted to lure its opponent to enter Netherworld Prison using Bai Zi’s body, into the anomaly-dominated by the Misty Sea Will, aiming to diminish part of its spiritual intelligence.

Seeing it did not fall for the trap, and even summoned the "Soul Path Origin" to the outside world, the Misty Sea Will finally couldn’t contain itself.

The reflowing gray fog was a counterattack from the Misty Sea Will!

However, the encroaching Mysterious Fog from the Misty Sea Will seemed unable to make the external being retreat.

...

"The starry sky you’ve invaded was also under my control initially, not originally your territory."

Its eternal, indifferent voice, through Bai Zi’s mouth, dispersed into the infinite void.

That moment, those hovering high above Yi Hao’s head, as if overseeing the entire Chaos Star River, the silver-glittering eyes released a brilliance of the same hue.

"Whoosh!"

The brilliance, carrying many auras of Soul Path Origins, sank down slowly like a massive curtain.

As if another radiant sky curtain was covering the high space of the Chaos Star River, about to descend and obliterate everything!

Wherever the brilliance passed, the grey Mysterious Fog was eradicated, gradually restoring the once shrouded Desolate Star River to its original form.

The sky grew lighter!

The beings of the Misty Sea "Prison" realm, looking up at the sky, saw a vast expanse of silver radiance waves, carrying with them an aura that obliterated all things, causing the gray fog to gradually dissipate.

The sky grew brighter bit by bit, but the beings of the Misty Sea did not feel joy; instead, they sensed profound terror.

Because that Silver Radiance Sky Curtain, from the external supreme will, was the backbone for existences like Yi Hao, Tianyu, Fu Ya!

Tianyu, Fu Ya, Yi Hao—were intent on conquering the Mysterious Fog Sea they resided in, wanting to destroy their homes, and they had already slaughtered many God Spirits born in the Misty Sea!

How could they not fear?

...

"Starry sky, it’s a realm I created and should not bear your presence."

"Even a brief stay is unacceptable."

It spoke slowly and methodically.

Taking the form of Bai Zi, it was positioned below the Star River, while the silver irises hovered above in the starry sky.

Together, they exerted their force from below and above, gradually eroding the fog, wearing down the will of the Misty Sea.

It paid no mind to the deep blue Sea of Souls or to the Bee King at the summit of the Hall of Gods. Both the Sea of Souls and the Bee King had fallen into a state of foolish bewilderment.

Its inscrutable will clearly had tormented the Sea of Souls and the Bee King, providing them the opportunity to merge, yet they distinctly couldn’t initiate the path to fusion.

"Gray fog, supreme will."

Pang Jian, aiding the four Great Demons, suddenly felt an immense emptiness.

There was also a faint sense of loss and a declining sense of strength.

The gray fog, which had once filled the "Chaos Star River," seemed to be something of great importance to him, the very basis of his strength.

Surrounded by the boundless gray fog, he felt peaceful and tranquil, possessing strong confidence and courage to face any imminent catastrophe.

The gray fog was his strongest shield!

Especially after the presence of the gray mysterious fog in his Primordial Spirit Body, this feeling became even more profound and intuitive.

Now, as the fog was gradually tainted by the silvery glow of an outer will and as the true dispersion of the fog occurred, he unexpectedly felt weak and powerless.

"Is my most fundamental power derived from the gray mysterious fog in the Misty Sea, and is that fog crucial in my struggle against it?"

Such a thought occurred to Pang Jian.

"In the heavens, that silver iris, guarded by Yi Hao, is extremely hard to shatter."

"What about Bai Zi?"

Pang Jian observed Bai Zi with his Primordial Spirit.

As his physical body suffered severe damage, covered in bloody wounds and re-frozen by the Extreme Cold Divine Breath, his Primordial Spirit was not hindered and could still move freely.

He noticed Bai Zi, who was performing Heaven-shocking Divine Abilities, still in a horrifying state of split skin and severe muscle atrophy.

Bai Zi was merely a Sovereign, not a Divine King like Yi Hao.

As Thunder God had said, such a Bai Zi simply couldn’t bear its descent and couldn’t maximize its power.

Even as a partial descent of its will and exhibiting its incomplete power, Bai Zi’s Sovereign Realm couldn’t withstand it.

Therefore, Bai Zi was the flaw. His Sovereign Body wouldn’t last long!

"Boom!"

Within Pang Jian’s Primordial Spirit, numerous God Spirit images, nestled in the crystal bones, star sun moon, and peculiar organs, exerted their force together in the gray fog.

Then, numerous openings appeared on the splendid divine body of Pang Jian as if activated!

At a glance, the openings on his divine body shone like a cluster of stars in full splendor!

Within the openings blazed the fierce sun, appeared the cold Bright Moon, shone the mysterious profound stars, and the organs containing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth thrived with the aura of the Soul Path Origin!

At Pang Jian’s level, mastering various techniques and skills was effortless, with each word and action relying on the comprehended Heavenly Dao Laws to create Divine Skills.

"Break the ice!"

Suddenly, dozens of rainbow lights flowed from the openings on the surface of Pang Jian’s Primordial Spirit Body, like a mighty river rushing downward.

The aura of many Soul Path Origins was evident in the rainbow lights.

There were eternally unextinguished flames, ceaselessly surging essence of water, traces capable of constructing the earth, a vast continent of gold iron, and the true essence containing the origin of life.

There was also the light source from the Fierce Sun, endlessly emitting brilliance.

The aura of each Great Path Origin, within those rainbow lights, revealed themselves, casting shadows, and blooming with miraculous radiance.

"Crack! Crack, crack!"

The area, frozen by it using Bai Zi’s Divine Body under extreme cold, was directly shattered by the dozens of rainbow lights!

As the frozen world exploded, billions of Ice Crystals scattered about but suddenly, guided by its will, transformed into a massive Ice Ridge Storm.

This storm whirled, with the aura of star moon permeating, supernatural abilities of time and space surging, and various unknown traces of Soul Path Origins present.

The vast Ice Ridge Storm, after forming in the distance, quickly swept through the surroundings!

Scattered across the "Chaos Star River," the star sun and moon, compared to this terrifying Ice Ridge Storm, were like mudballs against a pond.

As the Ice Ridge Storm tumultuously moved, any star caught in its path would explode in an instant.

Shattering the stars was indeed a trivial matter for this terrifying Ice Ridge Storm.

"Bang! Bang, bang!"

Initially rallied by Xinghuan, then sealed by Pang Jian, the stars, one by one, shattered within the Ice Ridge Storm.

As the storm exploded the stars, it engulfed all the supernatural abilities contained within each star, causing the Ice Ridge Storm to expand further, its presence becoming even more captivating.

The Ice Ridge Storm was not in a hurry, purposefully devouring stars under its directed will.

One by one, the stars disappeared within it, instantly exploding and vanishing, with the storm continuously growing larger.

The aura it emitted, its casual annihilation of stars made everyone able to witness this scene feel horrified and tremble, feeling utterly helpless to contend against it with human effort.

Above the void, another Silver Radiance Sky Curtain was slowly descending, gradually fading the gray fog.

The "Chaos Star River’s" gray mysterious fog was now becoming thinner, and the influence of the Misty Sea Will was rapidly weakening.
