The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 949 - 908: Fragments of the Life Dao Source

The old man radiated despondency and helplessness.

A landscape of ruin and decay spread out from him, quietly permeating the entire Ruins of Fallen Gods as a field of mental imagery.

Amidst the shattered stars and the silent desolation, the atmosphere he released filled the space, suddenly giving rise to spectacles of bygone wonders.

"Boom! Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Numerous light and shadows emerged subsequently.

Pang Jian saw many Alien God Spirits, piloting glowing Divine Platforms, fleets of war chariots forged from gold iron, wielding long blades, Divine Swords, spears, and axes, engaged in fierce combat in this once exceedingly prosperous Star River.

The tide of the godly battles spread outwards, reducing kingdoms and cities to ruins in an instant.

The High Gods’ effortless movements unleashed massive shockwaves, like mushroom clouds rising from the surfaces of stars, causing the earth to crack into countless fissures and mountains and rivers to collapse.

The stars themselves could not withstand such killing, one by one collapsing and exploding.

There were also mighty beings with immense Divine Shadows, moving through the grievous battlefield, pulling at stars, drawing on the divine radiance of the sun and moon, rendering the dazzling Star River dim.

Such beings must be of the Dominion class.

The figure of the gray-robed elder manifested on the battlefield in a similar shape; he was also one of the few supreme beings, a combat force at the Dominator level!

"Dominion!"

Pang Jian’s heart jolted. frёewebnoѵēl.com

His gaze settled on the Divine Shadow of the gray-robed elder, Pang Jian saw him being besieged by three beings of the same level, and in the fervor of the fight, his Divine Body exploded.

"Like Ling Yun, he was a Dominion born from the Mysterious Fog Sea, sent to fight in the Outer Star River at that one’s command."

"In the end, outnumbered and overwhelmed, he perished here with regret!"

With that thought, Pang Jian suddenly saw a dazzlingly bright crystal star, releasing an immense and vast Life Vitality, healing the severe wounds of many injured God Spirits, providing endless life force for the Dominions who killed the elder.

That crystal star seemed like the ultimate meaning of life!

It was superior to the God and Demon Origin Academy, superior to all other wellsprings of life, and it was the key to the creation of life beyond the heavens.

In the universe, there existed such miraculous origins of the Great Tao.

The Soul Path Origin resided in the Netherworld Prison, the Source of Metal Essence hidden deep within Purgatory, and in Pang Jian’s sensation, this crystal star must be the so-called Life Dao Source!

——It was key to nurturing all living beings!

"At least I, shattered that thing, breaking its foundation." The gray-robed elder suddenly perked up, saying, "Although I did not succeed, I am not utterly defeated!"

"Whoosh!"

All the wondrous images vanished in an instant.

Before the last scene disappeared, Pang Jian saw the crystal star explode, and its numerous fragments, as if they had spiritual consciousness, sprayed from the brutal and bloody godly battlefield in all directions.

The Life Dao Source was indeed destroyed, breaking into many shards, no longer whole and intact.

"I, I am..."

A certain twisted will grew from within the elder’s shadow, erasing the newly rekindled imprints of his memory.

"Who are you, sir? Where did you come from? How did you break through my seals and enter the Ruins of Fallen Gods?"

The elder forgot everything that had just happened, repeating mechanically to the air.

Clearly, he did not know he had spoken these same words before, did not know who he truly was, did not know why he fell.

"Bang!"

A piece of Fragment Land far away suddenly burst apart, revealing a meteor-like dazzling crystal shard within.

Inside the crystal shard were intertwining traces of subtle lightning, imprinted with the essence of life.

It was one of the fragments of the Life Dao Source, the Life Origin Crystal mentioned by the elder, and the strange object that drew Pang Jian to this place!

With one look, Pang Jian understood it was what he had been seeking.

"The God and Demon Origin Academy can sense the Life Origin Crystals scattered in all corners of the heavens and earth! Gathering those fragments, the whereabouts of which are unknown, within the hall, there is hope to recreate the Life Dao Source!"

This thought suddenly emerged in Pang Jian’s mind.

He felt that beings like Ling Yun, if they could collect all the Life Origin Crystals in the heavens and earth and fuse the Life Dao Source within themselves, could not only achieve dominion but even reach the Realm of Divine King!

"Go!"

"Leave this place!"

"Never to venture here again!"

The gray-robed elder pressed down with both hands, struggling against the twisted will within him, speaking in a near frantic tone, "It is coming!"

The elder, with only remnants of his spiritual intelligence, found some gaps under the influence of that one, reviving his erased memories for a brief moment.

In the desolate and dark void, a crack appeared out of nowhere.

Within the crack, one could faintly make out a cold, bright silver eye, the pupil holding countless light and shadow laws, mirroring the myriad orders of the Outer Star River.

It was the incarnation of the Star River’s laws, the highest authority above all gods, the origin of godly spirits and all living beings.

It had not dispersed any terrifying power, but merely by appearing for a moment, Pang Jian instinctively felt fear.

In the next moment, Pang Jian’s true self shuddered and awoke from the God and Demon Origin Academy in the Ruin Domain.

The gaze of that silver-bright eye, as if from the distant Ruins of Fallen Gods, followed along a stream of his Divine Consciousness searching for him, attempting to descend upon the Ruin Domain, to his true self.

In the meantime, another supreme will gathered in the vast Mysterious Fog Sea, interfering with its intrusion.

Two unconventional existences, had their penetration from the sky severed by the Misty Sea entity merely because Pang Jian had briefly touched it.

"Phew!"

Pang Jian let out a long sigh, feeling as though his head were splitting.

Upon introspection, he discovered that the piece of God Status he had forged had become dull and lacklustre without him knowing when it happened.

Many of the exquisite laws he had gathered in the God Status were as if partially stripped away by an imprint.

A wave of fatigue from the soul unexpectedly surged forth.

He paid close attention to his feelings and suddenly realized that the sliver of Divine Consciousness that had wandered in the Ruins of Fallen Gods hadn’t safely returned, but was casually erased by the supreme product of the Outer Star River.

Moreover, it followed the connection to his true body, attempting to take control of the God Status he had refined.

Because of the intervention by the supreme existence of the Mysterious Fog Sea, the entity, seeing that it couldn’t completely corrupt his God Status, took away part of the Great Tao subtleties he had comprehended over the years, as well as part of his life memories through imprinting.

"The road to God Status is forged by the entity of the Outer Star River; the other side of God Status is it."

"All who seek to forge God Status, using God Status to ascend to godhood, be they Middle-level Gods, High Gods, or even Sovereigns, will at some point be forcefully infiltrated by it!"

"The higher the realm, the stronger the resistance to it, but since it is the creator of the God Status path, it will still be influenced to some extent."

"Only...only by entering the path with the Primordial Spirit! Only by achieving the God Dominion Realm and reaching the ultimate with the Primordial Spirit, can one completely disregard its influence!"

"The one from the Outer Star River and the one from the Misty Sea, both are above the Source of Essence, Exotic Spirits, and the gods, and they each possess a portion of the Source of Essence, Exotic Spirits, and the gods!"

Many new realizations, all emerged in his mind suddenly.

Perhaps it was the dark cues of the Soul Path Origin in the Netherworld Prison or the secret imparted by the Misty Sea Will that enabled Pang Jian to clearly realize at this step why the one in the Misty Sea sought to forge a new path.

Why, in the end, it chose to forsake Ling Yun and resolutely choose himself.

That was the painful lesson drawn from numerous failures!

The gray-robed elder, Ling Yun, Mo Tian, as well as many other powerful dominators created within the Mysterious Fog Sea, were all suppressed by the opposing force and achieved some success, but they ultimately met with defeat.

Such supreme existences had no choice but to ponder a new path, which led to the birth of the Nether Tribe, Human Race, and a powerful mode different from the path of God Status.

"The Primordial Spirit main, God Status auxiliary; by awakening the God Status with the Primordial Spirit, perhaps it could resist the infiltration of that entity in the future,"

"Only having a piece of God Status will surely lead to another defeat, with no chance of victory."

Pang Jian had an epiphany.

He felt this was a reminder from the Sea of Souls in the Netherworld Prison, the Source of Metal Essence in Purgatory, the supreme law product of the Mysterious Fog Sea, for him.

"What other Sources of Essence are hidden in the Mysterious Fog Sea?"

"Among the Great Tao sources of the world, some chose the entity in the Star River, while others must have chosen the entity in the Misty Sea."

"Do others exist in the several ’Prison’ Worlds?"

Pang Jian’s thoughts expanded, and he gradually formed a direction in his mind.

...

Purgatory.

The strong entities active in this world unconsciously fixated their gaze upon the sky.

Though it was daytime, the sky suddenly darkened, becoming gloomy and oppressive.

A monumental august hall, silently replaced the eternal sun, light sources, and moon, hanging above the Heaven Forbidden, now seemingly within reach.

Mere glances at it caused the beings of Purgatory to feel a soul-deep oppression, making them involuntarily want to bow down to it.

"What is that?"

"How could a hall suddenly appear here? What...What exactly is it?"

"The God Spirits from beyond the sky, they always dwell in the unknown reaches of space, responding to the worship of followers below. This thing feels even more terrifying than the gods, making one completely unable to muster even the thought of resistance!"

From the First Realm, Second Realm, Third Realm, to the Fourth Realm.

Various Demon Gods, Demon Kings, and powerful cultivators of the Human Race were all deeply intimidated by this scene.

Every person when speaking, could sense the unease in their tone.

Fearing the unknown is an innate instinct of all living beings.

"Hall of Gods!"

A golden insect cried out softly on the Rock Continent.

In the next moment, Pang Jian’s Primordial Spirit Body floated there, and under the gaze of Qi Qingsong, Zhou Qingchen, and several elders of the Sword Tower, he alone flew towards the high sky.

There, beneath the Heaven Forbidden, he looked up at the familiar Hall of Gods.

Before the war of the Mysterious Sanctuary Realm even began, the Hall of Gods, currently controlled by the Wisdom Goddess Fuya, had already arrived in the high skies of Purgatory, causing even him to panic.

"Pang Jian!"

Old Black Turtle, Black Dragon King, Rock Bear, and the Ice Armor Eel Dragon, seeing the strange changes in the sky, roared and rushed over.

Before long, all the Ancient Demon Tribe Demon Gods, except for Yuan Qi, had already gathered by his side.

"Purgatory."

The indifferent and remote voice of Fuya wafted above the Heaven Forbidden, as if a God Spirit dwelling deep in the Star River spoke in a soft whisper.

His divine sound, echoing just above the Heaven Forbidden, nonetheless penetrated through the Heaven Forbidden and Boundary Wall to resound throughout the Purgatory World.
