The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 110 - 97: Four Odd Items_1

This scene left Pang Jian dumbfounded as if he were a wooden chicken.

He had not expected the tightly sealed bronze door to suddenly open at this moment, revealing such a miraculous spectacle!

The "Strange Snake" deep within the "Mysterious Fog," was identical to the Dark Giant Python that had flown out of his Spiritual Sea during his cultivation.

The Strange Snake was clearly a brand new Dark Giant Python!

Beyond that, there were beehives, vines, and the Mysterious Turtle.

The various extraordinary objects that perished due to the descent of the Phoenix Bone, all reappeared within the mysterious space behind the bronze door, floating in the depths of the dense "Mysterious Fog."

The "Mysterious Fog" that chilled the hearts of Cultivators filled the world within the copper plaque, radiating endless mystery.

The Strange Snake, beehives, vines, and Mysterious Turtle, as if reborn within the "Mysterious Fog!"

Pang Jian’s mind was in disarray.

The bronze door, which seemed like it would never open, had quietly opened just a crack, deeply shocking him.

This bizarre scene had a more profound impact on him than his first encounter with the Divine Bird Qing Jue!

Many thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.

He thought of the fierce vines that had burst from the ground, and immediately knew that there must have been a dreadful vine tree strangled by the Phoenix Bone deep underground.

From it, a drop of Phoenix Marrow was produced, which he had inadvertently acquired and absorbed into the bronze plaque.

His first Body Refining was through that drop of Phoenix Marrow.

At Black Water Pool, he obtained a drop of Phoenix Marrow coalesced by the Dark Giant Python.

Subsequently, the blood-colored phoenix flew out from Ouyang Duanhai’s body and was also captured by him with the bronze plaque.

That blood-colored phoenix had formed by devouring the beehives in Insect Valley and consuming all the Bee Insects clean.

His second refining relied on the power of that blood-colored phoenix.

At that time, in a haze, he vividly felt many burning phoenixes soaring within his bones.

Not long ago.

His veins were ravaged by the Filth Alien Power, causing them to burst and heal repeatedly, with what seemed like the aid of Mysterious Turtle Essence Blood.

Only that drop of Phoenix Marrow, formed through the devouring of the Dark Giant Python, remained still.

"Could it be that drop of Phoenix Marrow that prompted the rebirth of a brand new Dark Giant Python? But why did the beehive, vine tree, and Mysterious Turtle also appear one by one?"

Pang Jian’s mind was nearly filled with doubts.

Afterward, he forcefully calmed himself down and observed the mysterious space within the copper plaque carefully.

The bronze door in front of him had only partially opened, and he simply couldn’t enter it.

He could only see, through the opened part, the newborn Dark Giant Python and, a little further away from the python, the beehives, vine tree, and Mysterious Turtle.

The latter three oddities were many times smaller than the Dark Giant Python and seemed less mystical.

As for how large the space within the bronze door was, and whether there were other marvels concealed by the "Mysterious Fog," Pang Jian could not know.

Suddenly, he noticed in that mysterious space within the bronze door, the Dark Giant Python’s eyes staring deeply at him.

The newborn Dark Giant Python, with obsidian-like eyes reflecting a trace of astonishment and unease, seemed to want to come out and get closer to him.

"Huff! Huff huff!"

The Dark Giant Python with its eyes revealing complex colors, while looking at him, was greedily inhaling the Filth Alien Power originating from his body.

And it was specifically absorbing the most concentrated and unique part, which contained the power of corrosion and destruction.

Pang Jian also clearly saw a small sharp horn slowly rising on the forehead of the Dark Giant Python.

He felt that the newborn Dark Giant Python was growing rapidly at an inconceivable speed, and from the very moment of its birth, it was different from the one at the bottom of Black Water Pool.

"Can you come out?"

While holding the copper plaque, Pang Jian asked the Dark Giant Python inside, trying to probe it.

The Dark Giant Python’s dark pupils showed confusion, as if it couldn’t understand the meaning of his words.

Compared to the one at the bottom of Black Water Pool that had possessed the "Black and White King Python," this newborn "Dark Giant Python" had too low Spiritual Intelligence, like a bewildered infant.

It felt to Pang Jian that it had an extremely high starting point from the onset, with a horn already on its forehead.

But its wisdom and spiritual awareness did not reach an astonishing level at the moment of its birth.

In this regard, it seemed that it still needed time to slowly improve.

After hesitating for a moment, Pang Jian held the bronze plaque in one hand, holding it a little farther from himself.

His other hand gestured to the "Dark Giant Python" inside, signaling it to come out.

The "Dark Giant Python" looked at him blankly, and, seeing Pang Jian continuously gesturing from the outside, tried to swim toward him.

It instinctively felt that the world of the person gesturing had the power it was currently desperately lacking.

That power was crucial for its growth and strength!

"Swoosh!"

It smoothly crossed through the bronze door and left the bizarre world of its birth, thus entering Bagua City.

"Clack!"

The bronze door made a crisp sound as it closed again.

A Strange Snake, much larger than Pang Jian had imagined, nearly three meters long, suddenly appeared in the dark alley.

Pang Jian, with an outstretched hand still ready to catch with his palm, had a somewhat strange expression on his face.

"Huff! Huff huff!"

The "Dark Giant Python" that landed on the stone pavement, upon leaving that bizarre space, began swallowing the Filth Power it needed.

—— It was no longer reliant on Pang Jian.

The rich Filth Alien Power, with the essence of corrosion and destruction, immediately rushed towards its open mouth and body.

A layer of green, iron-hard scales, shimmering with a cold light like fine steel, slowly became visible on its body surface.

Pang Jian stared at it in shock.

As he left the bronze gate, Pang Jian felt a close connection with the Dark Giant Python.

Pang Jian felt as if he suddenly had two more eyes.

In the darkness, Pang Jian closed his eyes and concentrated, amazed to find that he could still see.

—Through the eyes of the Dark Giant Python!

"Pang Jian!"

Inside the brightly lit City Lord Mansion, Luo Hongyan let out a sharp, anxious scream, still worried about his safety.

Distracted by the strange phenomena of the copper door, Pang Jian abruptly opened his eyes, and the sensation of seeing through the Dark Giant Python’s eyes immediately disappeared.

He turned his attention back outside.

He saw Luo Hongyan’s hands sometimes casting brilliant starlight and sometimes pulling blood-red lightning, effortlessly annihilating the alien objects wrapped in pool water.

The ghosts revitalized by Yuan Shishan’s power were not difficult for Luo Hongyan to handle, dissipating one by one beside her.

However.

Occasional manipulations of scattered artifacts by Yuan Shishan, seemingly casual strikes, caused Luo Hongyan great discomfort.

Luo Hongyan had already sustained numerous injuries.

Li Jie, the Calamity Master, sat amidst a pile of rubble, the Kirin Bell hovering above his head, stalwartly facing Yuan Shishan’s overwhelming onslaught, always appearing quite composed.

Li Jie was right; he had known what he would go through and had made ample preparations.

From his posture alone, it seemed like the Kirin Bell could allow him to withstand the test of time.

Pang Jian knew that this man had many treasures in his hands, and Yuan Shishan, the City Lord of Bagua City, might really not be able to break through his defense line of strange treasures.

"There is no need to worry about this person."

Pang Jian muttered to himself, his gaze first falling on Luo Hongyan, who was in a dire situation, then turning back to look at his feet.

At this moment, the Dark Giant Python, like a sponge absorbing water, greedily sucked in the Filth Alien Power and seemed extremely satisfied and joyful.

After nodding to himself, Pang Jian confidently picked up his spear and charged out.

"Whoosh!"

Another round of the Black Moon Ring was conjured by his command of the Astonishing Spear, blocking the random stones stirred by Yuan Shishan’s casual motions.

"You’re okay?"

Luo Hongyan saw him reappear, as lively as ever, and her eyes revealed surprise and amazement.

"I’m fine, I just got held up by something else."

Pang Jian replied.

"If you were fine, you could have given a shout!"

Luo Hongyan said angrily.

Pang Jian replied gravely, "You wouldn’t have heard me anyway."

Atop the high platform.

Yuan Shishan, who had fallen into a frenzy, lost all his composure, mumbling to himself, "Artifact Soul; they see me as the necessary Artifact Soul within the Array Eye of Bagua City..."

Unable to accept reality, he used all the power at his disposal, commanding various artifacts to bombard Li Jie, the Calamity Master.

Li Jie, with the Kirin Bell floating above his head, faced the barrage of treasures thrown at him yet still seemed to be in his element.

"Pfft!"

At the dark alleyway’s entrance, an invisible barrier suddenly shattered under the impact of some force.

The darkness that had been contained within the alley began to spread into the mansion immediately.

At this moment.

Not only Yuan Shishan, but even the always composed Li Jie, leapt to his feet from a seated position, staring at the spreading darkness with shock and dismay.

"How is this possible?"

As the Calamity Master, he could control the light of Bagua City.

The light within the city’s stone pavements and walls was all within his power to summon and retract.

The darkness spreading from outside to within was eternal, but as long as there was light in Bagua City, the darkness and the Filth Alien Power within it could not infiltrate.

The slow encroachment of darkness, from outside the City Lord Mansion, was due to Li Jie secretly controlling the light.

He could gradually gather the light.

This gathering could only be done from the outside in, forcing everyone into the City Lord Mansion and appearing beside the pool.

Originally, once his ordeal was over, once everyone had left, the darkness would finally engulf everything.

Years later, when the Heavenly Tribulation Pillar required new Soul Spirits and offerings, a new Calamity Master would arrive here.

Then, the whole Bagua City would shine brightly again.

Now, his own ordeal hadn’t yet ended, he hadn’t left Bagua City, but the darkness that shouldn’t have been surging into the mansion was prematurely making its way in!

This was the second strange phenomenon Li Jie had encountered since he arrived.

"Eh!"

Pang Jian, standing in the light, clearly saw the Dark Giant Python emerge from the bronze gate as if it had shattered something, swimming towards him inside the mansion.

From the moment the Dark Giant Python stepped out of the alley, the darkness from the Fifth Realm began to rapidly spread within the mansion along with it.

And it was beyond control!

The ink-like darkness swiftly overtook a small part of the space inside the mansion; those Ghosts of the Dead in the pool, as they were engulfed by the darkness, were silently corrupted away.

"Pang Jian, who is hiding in the alley?"

Li Jie exclaimed in a greatly changed tone.

He always felt that the alien forces lurking in the darkness came from the rival factions of his family, intentionally causing chaos in his ordeal, plunging him into an inescapable doom.
