The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 955 - 914: The Strength of the Older Generation of True Gods
Chapter 955: Chapter 914: The Strength of the Older Generation of True Gods
Outer Starry Sky, within the Moon Temple.
"Leng Jin has fallen."
Ying Yue looked dazed as she stepped out of the divine aspect she had conjured herself, pacing anxiously in the empty hall.
Deep within the heart of this moon lay an ancient moon Star Core, inside which, a cluster of Soul Seals had just quietly faded away.
This Soul Seal was left by Leng Jin when he first arrived at this Desolate Star River.
The Mysterious Fog Sea was the greatest mystery between heaven and earth, and all the Alien God Spirits were curious about it, Leng Jin was no exception.
He had visited this star river more than once, leaving traces of His presence in the depths of this unassuming Bright Moon.
After Ying Yue took her position above the moon, she carefully surveyed all the mysteries within, and saw the marks of each Moon God left within that moon Star Core.
Leng Jin was one of them, and also the most powerful among them, His name resounded throughout the community of Moon Gods.
After Ying Yue had cultivated the moon, she was able to accurately perceive every subtle change within the Star Core of the moon.
And now, the cluster of Soul Seals Leng Jin had left behind had inexplicably disappeared.
Ying Yue clearly understood what this meant.
"Leng Jin is the strongest Moon God in the starry sky and Fu Ya’s capable right hand, who could have slain Him?" Han Yi was quite surprised, confusion and puzzlement written all over His beautiful, cold features as He murmured, "Could it be, He ventured into the Mysterious Fog Sea ahead of the rest of us and encountered some anomaly within?"
God Spirits possessed eternal life, and except for disasters, they would not die naturally.
Leng Jin, as the strongest Moon God with Fu Ya’s support, always held a high position in the Outer Starry Sky, with God Spirits from any Star Domain greeting and sending Him off with respect both coming and going.
Who would dare strike Him down in the Outer Starry Sky?
And how many could have the power to do so?
Han Yi pondered for a long time but still couldn’t find an answer, instead feeling a growing sense of dread.
Even Leng Jin could perish mysteriously in the midst of this cosmic catastrophe, then what of Him, and Ying Yue – could they escape unscathed in the future?
"I heard that Leng Jin was ordered to the Myst Dust Realm. In the Myst Dust Realm, the ancient True Gods of the Human Race are gathered right now, preparing to clear out those older generation True Gods."
Ying Yue quickly regained her composure, and as she returned to her Divine Platform, threads of Divine Consciousness connected with the Extreme Cold Divine Power within it.
She washed her Divine Consciousness with Divine Power, nurturing her God Status, and continued to perceive the truths of the moon bestowed by God Luo, saying, "For me, this is actually a good thing."
On a path of Divine Tao, only those in the Dominator Realm face barriers.
Like Ying Yue, a Moon God who has reached the pinnacle of a High God’s state wouldn’t typically ascend to a Sovereign smoothly if Dominion-class Moon Gods were present.
There can only be a replacement.
However, if the High Gods on a Divine Path are too many, the probability of success for Middle-level Gods advancing to High Gods would correspondingly decrease.
Conversely, the fewer High Gods there are on a Divine Path, the higher the probability for Middle-level Gods to break through.
This seems to be a restriction of the supreme will’s order and rules from beyond.
As the strongest Moon God of his time, no matter where Leng Jin fell, for Ying Yue who sought to advance further, it was good news.
"It looks like even the heavens are looking out for you."
Han Yi’s eyes glinted as He spoke softly, picturing the mighty God Spirits on the Cold Ice Divine Path: "There are more High Gods on my path than on yours. I’m also in the midst of advancing; if they perish just like Leng Jin, my chances of success would greatly increase."
Ying Yue smiled and replied, "Stop dreaming. The fall of a High God is not so easy. Leng Jin was likely just an anomaly; it’s improbable that there will be another."
...
Myst Dust Realm.
The true Godly warfare erupted suddenly!
Amidst Ziwu’s strange howls, the God Spirits from different factions, no longer thinking of fighting alone, all began to fly towards the "World Tree" with their Divine Platforms.
The war between the Alien God Spirits and the Human True Gods, revolving around the "World Tree", erupted thunderously.
In a unique world shrouded with lustrous white crystal, Bai Hui, an ancestor from the Jiuli Sect, summoned his "Divine Dharma Aspect," infusing the Star and Moon Divine Power into the numerous crystals he had gathered.
"Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Stars!"
The multitude of crystals transformed, creating moons and stars that revolved ceaselessly around his "Divine Dharma Aspect."
Now a flying bear, then a Divine Bird soaring skyward, next a walking Golden Ox, and then a divine archer shooting arrows.
Bai Hui, who had perceived the mysteries of the stars and moon, traveled throughout many Outer Star Rivers, looking into the structure of celestial bodies and their inherent oddities, emulating the star river configurations to create Divine Skills.
His "Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Stars" had nine variations, each concealing the operational laws of nine great Star Domains from beyond, with fearsome power.
Three God Spirits loyal to Luo Hongyan gradually lost their way among his ceaselessly shifting stars and moon, their Divine Power being depleted, unable even to see Bai Hui’s "Divine Dharma Aspect."
"If it weren’t for Pang Jian’s selfless transmission of the stars and moon mysteries, I might already be dead."
This ancient True God from the Jiuli Sect, currently still in the God Commencement Realm, hadn’t managed a breakthrough like Fang Jiu.
Yet, the "Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Stars" that he evolved was able to trap two middle-level gods and one high god wrapped in Extreme Cold Divine Light.
It wasn’t the "World Tree" that healed his injuries, it wasn’t the mysterious gifts from the stars and moon that allowed him to be so composed.
In another battlefield,
Huang Yin from the Eastern Divine Kingdom stood atop a palace adorned with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, with a massive scroll billowing behind him.
The imperial city within the scroll, the thousands of subjects prostrating before him, and the clear silhouettes of dragons and phoenixes,
once he was a legendary emperor in the Divine Country, known throughout Eastland for his great deeds. Before stepping out of Purgatory World, the Divine Country he built not only dominated Eastland but also suppressed Sects as exceptional as the Jiuli Sect, the Gui Sacrificial Sect, and Pure Land.
Second only to the Sword Tower of the same era.
As an emerging talent, he was the first to break through the Heaven Forbidden barriers set by the Alien God Spirits around Purgatory and, under the pursuit of the gods, successfully fought his way out.
He was the legend of the time between Lin Baixiang and Pang Jian.
Unlike others, he had long since entered the God Manifestation Realm, but due to successive fierce battles in recent years, he fell from his realm and regressed back to the God Commencement Realm.
Now, healed by the "World Tree," he was again at his peak.
He received no other help from Pang Jian because the Imperial Great Tao he developed was not something Pang Jian could guide.
"Rise!"
Huang Yin gently raised his hand.
The palaces, mountains, and rivers that flew out of the scroll, along with the gorgeous Divine Shadows of the entwined dragons and phoenixes, all appeared invaluable, emitting a Divine Aura that caused all gods to palpitate.
When Huang Yin summoned the "Divine Dharma Aspect," cloaked in his dragon robe, the gods suddenly felt an immense and terrifying ambition emanating from his magnificent Dharma Aspect body.
He seemed to want to enslave the gods!
He intended to turn the numerous Alien God Spirits into subjects of his Divine Country, commanded by him.
The breadth of his vision and the vastness of his ambition shocked all the gods.
A mere visitor from the "Misty Sea," a terrestrial emperor of a land, how could he possess such boldness and ambition to even contemplate taming the Alien God Spirits?
To dare to think this meant he was not afraid at all, signifying that in his eyes, the gods were nothing.
"If I can break through to the God Dominion Realm, I will rebuild a Divine Dynasty for all gods. Then you will be but ministers in my country, paying homage and bowing to me daily."
Huang Yin’s voice thundered out, surprising the invading Alien God Spirits.
Such a domineering figure, let alone in the "Misty Sea," was a rare sight even in the vast Outer Starry Sky.
On a green leaf of the "World Tree,"
Pei Lin from the Desolated Terrains sat calmly and serenely, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"
The dust, gravel, meteorite fragments, and wood dust created by the divine battles in the Mysterious Fog Realm were all attracted by his will, converging from all directions.
Near the "World Tree," it was as if another dense, dusty realm emerged quietly because of him.
The Alien God Spirits attempting to kill the tree, upon entering this area, suddenly found themselves in an eerily mysterious Mysterious Fog World, as though plummeting from the sky into the Mysterious Fog Sea.
"I’ve come to protect you."
Pei Lin pulled out a blank piece of paper, using his own fingertip as a pen to inscribe Heaven and Earth Laws-filled divine symbols.
Dense divine symbols burgeoned, creating intricate rules in that dusty realm, making its structure extremely stable.
For any god who entered, both the God Status and within the Divine Body, strange laws continually emerged, along with dust containing Pei Lin’s Divine Power.
Every god in such a world would feel oppressed everywhere as if targeted by the supreme will of the Misty Sea, their Divine Power and Divine Aura rapidly diminishing.
Born in the Northern Wasteland of Purgatory, Pei Lin studied two Great Tao paths, ascending to True God in harmony with dust and smoke.
But he was also a master of the Ancient Law Sect’s talisman script.
After arriving at the Outer Starry Sky, he immersed himself in both paths for ten thousand years until he finally merged them, forging his unique combat techniques.
"Unless the Sovereign personally comes, any common Alien God Spirit trying to approach you with their true form, I’ll make Them shed a layer of skin first."
Pei Lin’s gaze suddenly fell upon the younger generation like Li Yuqing, Dong Tianze, and Wu Yuan, his mouth curling into a smile, "Don’t rush. I’ll lure more God Spirits deeper in. After I wear down Their Divine Power, it won’t be too late for you to make your move."
"Mr. Pei’s mystical techniques are truly admirable," Su Wenrou sighed in admiration.
She had initially thought that the new era Infernal True Gods surpassed the older generation in every aspect, but after seeing Fang Jiu, Huang Yin, and Sword Deity Xuling in action, she realized that none of the surviving older generation True Gods were easy adversaries.
The less prominent older True Gods had already perished in the long hunts; those who survived were the elites!
Su Wenrou suddenly felt that in this grand divine war unfolding in the Mysterious Fog Realm, they might not be destined to lose!
