The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 954 - 913: Xuling’s Soul Sword

In the Misty Sea, the Ruin Domain zipped through like lightning.

This place, which appeared as a gigantic skull from the outside, was pulsing with a strong energy magnetic field.

Invisible rings of light could extend instantly to tens of thousands of miles away.

Any oddity existing within the Misty Sea, anything that was not nothingness, could be detected by it.

At this moment, Pang Jian’s Divine Consciousness was merging with it more and more.

His will extended outward through it, searching for the wonders of the world, hoping to find more mysteries hidden in the Misty Sea.

Besides the Soul Path Origin and the Source of Metal Essence, could there be other sources in the Mysterious Fog Sea?

In the Zhouyu Starry Sky, sources abounded. Since there were the Source of Metal Essence and the Soul Path Origin, the Life Dao Source, there inevitably had to be other types of sources. freewёbnoνel.com

Pang Jian now deeply understood the profound mysteries of the sources.

Merely a fragment of the Life Dao Source made him feel that if he could harvest and integrate it into the God and Demon Origin Academy, the hall would immediately elevate, bringing forth more miracles.

"The five elements of heaven and earth, the foundation of the world, metal, wood, water, fire, earth. With the Source of Metal Essence, wood, water, fire, earth, could there be corresponding sources for each?"

"Such sources may be in the Outer Star River or perhaps hidden somewhere in the Misty Sea."

Pang Jian had been thinking and trying to find them all this time.

...

After an unknown amount of time, one day.

Suspended in the midway of the God and Demon Origin Academy, Pang Jian suddenly felt a soul message from the Sea of Souls. He focused his attention and heard his sister’s soul sound.

"Brother."

The unseen Pang Lin spoke softly, "Over at the Illusory Void Realm, many Alien God Spirits will descend, and I will be involved as well."

"Brother, I know you are concerned about the situation there; I will arrange for the Demon God to go over and support."

"Don’t worry, I have some solid supports in the Outer Star River, which will ease my mind considerably."

Pang Lin lightly chuckled.

"Illusory Void Realm..."

Upon hearing this, Pang Jian became increasingly integrated with the God and Demon Origin Academy, directing his consciousness towards the outer realms.

Moments later, he saw the "World Tree" and observed the images of many god spirits.

Fang Jiu’s slaying of Dong Yan and the provocative act of the Sword Deity Xuling towards Leng Jin were immediately noted by him.

"The battle has begun."

Pang Jian exclaimed softly, watching the battlefield through the leaves, saying, "What truly worries me about the Illusory Void Realm is the arrival of the Sovereign, the senior predecessors from the Purgatory whose chronic ailments have been resolved by me, and few of whom have even broken through their realms."

"Without the Sovereign appearing, relying on their own power, they too possess the credentials to confront the Alien God Spirits!"

"If I could enter the Illusory Void Realm, our chances of winning this battle would be immense!"

This statement was rather presumptuous.

"Ah!" Pang Lin exclaimed lowly, laughing, "It seems, I have been overthinking."

Before Pang Jian could speak, she continued, "Since those two Sovereigns are stationed above the Purgatory in the Star River, they won’t easily move their true bodies, at most they’ll just arrange for High Gods under their command to participate in the battle."

"...As for the God of the Void, this leader of the Void Clan always treasures his own feathers and seldom leaves the God Land he governs."

"On the side of the God of Destiny, it’s even less likely that he would show up in person to deal with such trifles."

"Brother, I have activated the Illusory Void Realm, just keep an eye on the battle in the Illusory Void Realm. If a truly formidable fighter appears, I might personally make a trip."

As her voice fell, an image suddenly appeared in Pang Jian’s mind.

Above a star enveloped by layers of dark divine light, many terrifying demon gods gathered before a Divine Platform carved from black God Stone.

In the deep dark void, a huge mirror-like object appeared, seemingly a black hole in time and space.

"Whoo! Whoo-whoo!"

The space in the mirror rippled more intensely than any Teleportation Array, containing power that could subtly alter the spatial order of a star domain.

A Black Phoenix, identical to the one that fell in the Seventh Realm, was hovering above the mirror, its demon pupils coldly lowering as it watched a group of fierce demon gods.

It seemed that at its command, the demons would enter the time-space black hole within the mirror.

The group of demon gods, fully prepared, quietly awaited the Black Phoenix’s order, and the demonic energies in that realm surged tremendously.

"With the Illusory Void Realm in my hands, I can appear instantly in any outer star domain just like Tianyu. The Illusory Void Realm also passes through the region containing the Illusory Void Realm."

Pang Lin’s voice rose again.

"Illusory Void Realm!"

Pang Jian was shocked.

He had heard a bit about this object from the mouths of Source Demon and several Realm Gods.

It was an extremely powerful spatial Divine Artifact!

According to legend, this object was born in the ancestral lands of the Void Clan, deeply connected to the birth of the Void Clan, and considered by them as a treasure vital to their lineage.

Before the current leader of the Void Clan, Tianyu, ascended to the status of a Sovereign, the "Illusory Void Realm" had vanished without a trace.

Members of the Void Clan and the God of the Void Tianyu himself have been desperately searching for this artifact in recent years, hoping to bring it back to the ancestral lands of the Void Clan to be venerated.

Unexpectedly, such a supreme spatial treasure was now in the Ancient Demon World, under her control.

"With the Illusory Void Realm, I might be able to bring you into the Illusory Void Realm too," Pang Lin said lightly with a chuckle, casually speaking, "Brother, if you want to participate in the battle, I can pave the way for you."

"Using what as a medium?" Pang Jian asked.

"The connection of our souls is much like when you were in the Purgatory World, instantly summoning the Mysterious Turtle, Black Dragon, and even the World Tree with the Realm God Card," Pang Lin answered with a smile.

"The Realm God Card, since it possesses the power to traverse space, is it also a spatial artifact?" Pang Jian asked.

"Only half so."

Far away in the dark stars of the Ancient Demon World, Pang Lin casually replied and then severed their sensory connection to pinpoint the "Illusory Void Realm" using its ability.

...

In the Misty Exotic Realm.

"Hu!"

Leng Jin summoned a round of cold moon, raising his hand toward the sea of sword light where the Xuling resided, his brow marked by a protruding God Status.

"Wha!"

Infinite divine radiance, like Moon Blade, flew out from his God Status, mingling with the brilliance of the cold moon, manifesting celestial wonders.

The dust-filled exotic land suddenly transformed into a Divine Realm of many bright moons.

Huge meteorites, Fragment Land, tiny pebbles, and dust, all under the moonlight became moons.

Meteorites as moons, Fragment Land as moons, pebbles as moons, dust as moons.

Whatever the moonlight touched, that object became a moon, differing only in size.

"I am the supreme Moon God, whatever I sprinkle with Divine Power becomes an incarnation of the moon,"

Leng Jin waved the white jade staff in his hand.

Beneath him, the crescent Divine Platform rippled with rings of divine energy, merging with the divine mysteries within the staff.

Countless meteorites, Fragment Land, pebbles, and dust, like herded cattle and sheep, obediently rushed towards the sea of sword light.

Within the Misty Exotic Realm, all materialized items not under the control of the God Spirits soon fell entirely into the sword light sea created by Xuling.

"Peng!"

An earth-shattering shockwave exploded within that sea of sword light.

The sword glints refined by Xuling, wrapped in the secret laws of the Moon God by the meteorites and Fragment Land, burst forth, with many of Leng Jin’s divine shadows flashing within the sea of swords before rapidly vanishing.

The entry of the meteorites and Fragment Land into the sea of sword light indicated the full onset of the battle between two evenly matched supreme beings.

Leng Jin was a High God, and also the most powerful Moon God of the Outer Star River. Originally, Xuling’s injuries were given by Him.

At that time, Xuling’s techniques were equally extraordinary, yet He still defeated him, forcing him to escape severely wounded by turning to evasion techniques.

Leng Jin did not believe that Xuling, even with his restoration from injury and cultivation in the God Manifestation Realm, could change anything.

"I am not Dong Yan, there is no huge gap in realms between you and me. I injured you before, and I can do so again today,"

Leng Jin approached, holding the white jade staff, with the Divine Platform under his feet slowly expanding into another bright clearer moon, suspending above the sea of sword light.

"Oh."

Xuling, like a ghostly shadow, maintained a certain distance from his own created sea of sword light.

He awaited Leng Jin’s arrival, softly speaking, "I am known as the Sword Deity Xuling; you only know that I am adept at transforming illusion into reality, thinking the tangible that is the real me."

"But inside the Purgatory World, the reason why the name Xuling resounds is actually because I..."

Xuling, in his intangible Spiritual Body form, suddenly became a bright, translucent Divine Sword.

His own body was the Divine Sword!

A Divine Sword he conceived, wrapped in his supreme Sword Dao, quietly thrust towards the high-placed Leng Jin.

"My Sword of Xuling, it is truly a Soul Sword!"

"Shoo!"

This phantom Divine Sword suddenly vanished, reappearing within Leng Jin’s mind, racing inside His God Status!

The divine status of Leng Jin, externally displayed, now terribly bright with the light of the sword, its sword light severing the decades-long Moon Dao comprehended by this High God, causing fractures to proliferate through His God Status.

The so-called sea of sword light was actually just a feint, a shield to attract the opponent’s attack.

Xuling’s true Sword Dao involved the soul’s core. The more he understood the mysteries of the soul, the stronger the Soul Sword became.

With the gift from the World Tree, his realm hadn’t broken through; after all, he was already in the God Manifestation Realm.

One step further, directly into the God Dominion Realm, was not an achievement Xuling could currently reach.

What he gained was from Pang Jian, a set of secret divine skills originating from the Ming Yu Soul Sea, which were the real keys to Xuling’s qualitative transformation.

While Xuling’s realm seemed unchanged, the Soul Sword he wielded had gained the unpredictable power of a Ghost God.

Plus, Leng Jin mistook the sea of sword light for Xuling, investing too much attention and divine skills into it, thus meeting this fate.

Soon within Leng Jin’s God Status, aside from Xuling’s Soul Sword, no other Dao lightning appeared.

In the depths of His mind, all memory flashes were also severed.

God Status without the imprint of the Dao, a mind without memories, signifies brain death.

Following Dong Yan, this mighty Moon God also died under the eyes of the alien God Spirits of the Outerspace.

"Stop showing off, go already," Ziwu could no longer bear it, his Divine Body shrinking slightly into a spatial crack behind Him, shouting, "Think about the Hall of Gods of yore, how it was breached!"

"The Human Race is truly weak; why can we not break through Purgatory, and clean up the aberrations that destroyed the Hall of Gods thoroughly!"

"Please firmly remember your advantages! Remember, they are only a dozen or so, but our numbers can be many times theirs!"
