The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 980 - 939: Ying Yue’s Perspective

Void Temple.

Within the grand hall, prismatic crystals, suspended like glaciers, reflected scenes from different worlds and realms.

This place, connecting myriad heavens and domains, rarely witnessed by deities, was not permitted for even members of the Void Clan to step into.

——It belonged solely to Tianyu.

Suddenly, one prismatic crystal containing a sealed life form shifted ever so slightly among the otherwise still crystals.

A force from another universe, through a secret fissure in the void, entered the temple forged by Tianyu and seeped into the body of the man inside the crystal.

The man, temples streaked with gray, bearing a dignified and gentle demeanor, was still as a statue, devoid of any sign of life.

Now, due to the external force, his heavy eyelids strained and reluctantly opened.

"Tianyu actually isn’t here."

As his eyes moved within the crystal, he did not see the anticipated God of the Void, a surprising absence.

"How strange," he muttered in his mind, frowning softly, "Most of the time, Tianyu would reside in the Void Temple, not only to peer into the countless worlds but also to guard against me."

Even the God of the Void Tianyu, who wished to imprison him here eternally, could not leave for long periods.

He was worth Tianyu’s extended vigilance.

Since Tianyu was absent and he had inexplicably awakened, he knew that something unusual must have happened outside.

He surmised that the war between God Luo and Fu Ya against Mysterious Fog Sea had likely begun, with the Ice Demon inviting Tianyu to the Hall of Gods to summon divine assistance for the battle.

Moments later, his eyebrows twitched, and he exclaimed in his heart, "No!"

"Chaos Star River!"

"Chaos Sea!"

"My son Pang Jian!"

A look of excitement flashed across his eyes, and tears began to form as he whispered, "Heaven shows mercy."

He in the Void Temple suddenly realized that his awakening was not for conversation with Tianyu, but because of a cosmic anomaly in the Desolate Star River!

Such an anomaly in the Star River, causing stars to shift and both the sun and moon to change, could not be the work of Fu Ya or God Luo.

It could only be the person truly acknowledged by that Star River!

"So soon..."

A look of relief crossed his face; it seemed that years of suffering had all been worth it.

Before he resolved to avenge his wife, he had discreetly prepared for his son’s rise, connecting the ancient star domain named "Chaos Star River" to his son’s Dantian Spirit Sea.

If Pang Jian reached a certain level in his cultivation and then emerged in that ancient star domain, he would inevitably connect the Star River with his own "Chaos Sea."

To launch an assault on Mysterious Fog Sea, the deities had to anchor at that ancient Star River.

It was the required gateway to enter the Mysterious Fog Sea!

In that cold and desolate Star River, he had discovered an oddity long ago. After comprehending it, he refined it entirely and infused it into Pang Jian’s Dantian.

Today’s change in the "Chaos Star River" was something he had anticipated for thousands of years!

"Little Jian, I hope you can withstand it."

He prayed in the Void Temple for his son.

...

Within Misty Sea, at the location of the Divine King’s Skull.

"Huff! Huff!"

Broken Divine Platforms and the remains of Alien God Spirits mixed with a multitude of various artifacts suddenly began to emerge in great numbers through the grey, hazy Misty Sea.

The deities were shaken, stunned by such an anomaly.

"Huajian, a High God of the Sea Clan!"

"Fanqi, a Middle-level God of the Spirit Race!"

"Beijian!"

"Jiumu!"

"..."

Those Alien God Spirits around the skull looked in horror as various wonders fell from the sky, streaming into the skull’s skeleton and into the internal world of the Ruin Domain.

Just like how ancient Divine Scripts, like falling stars, once descended.

"Those of us who didn’t enter the Mysterious Fog Sea are perishing in droves above Misty Sea! What kind of horrific catastrophe is unfolding in the Star River overhead?"

Mu Ya’s face turned pale with shock.

Similar cries of alarm rose from the mouths of those sinking deities. All the outer realm godly beings that drifted into the Misty Sea were shaken by the astonishing event unfolding.

They secretly feared that the terrifying Black Phoenix might have triggered the disaster.

Could Fu Ya and God Luo have failed to defend against the Black Phoenix’s slaughter of their followers?

Were two Sovereigns, along with the Hall of Gods, incapable of restraining the Black Phoenix, allowing it to kill at will?

The more they learned of the much-dreaded Black Phoenix, the more fearful and pessimistic they grew about the future.

"Sir Cang Feng!"

"Sir Yan Lie!" freёweɓnovel.com

The deities who served Luo Hongyan and Fu Ya were terrified, longing to know what was happening above Misty Sea but also afraid that ascending would result in their immediate slaughter.

So, with fearful and pleading gazes, they turned to the two strongest High Gods.

"Ying Yue, you’ll go and see just what the world above the Misty Sea has turned into."

Yan Lie, with a steely expression, pushed the Divine Platform supporting Ying Yue forward with a six-sided flaming shield, propelling him toward the Misty Sea above, insisting he observe the celestial anomaly.

Even Yan Lie, as mighty as he was, watching so many high-ranking gods fall, dared not rashly leave the Misty Sea.

"Ying Yue!"

Han Yi cried out in distress.

The fact that so many deities, equal to or greater than him, were reduced to wreckage falling into the Misty Sea indicated that something tremendously frightening was occurring above.

Even Yan Lie, such a capable general under the command of God Luo, so concerned about the safety of Luo Hongyan, didn’t choose to fly into the sky immediately, which was enough to indicate that Yan Lie was also afraid.

He forced Ying Yue to go, clearly intending for Ying Yue to die!

In the Divine Platform bathed in the moonlight, the Moon Goddess remained calm. She glanced at the anxious Han Yi, then looked towards deities like Yan Lie, Cang Feng, and Mu Ya.

Besides Han Yi, no other deity cared for Her life or death.

Among them, several deities had openly or secretly expressed their admiration after She pledged allegiance to God Luo, but when Yan Lie ordered the capture of Her and Han Yi to force Pang Jian to leave the Ruin Domain, those deities knew She was surrounded but each appeared indifferent.

There were also two fellows who, under Yan Lie’s meaningful glance, chose to join the ranks of those besieging.

"Such worthless adoration, it’s downright laughable."

Ying Yue’s lips curled slightly, her eyes full of mockery and disdain.

With so many deities slaughtered, not a single Misty Sea deity dared to show themselves—how could She not know what She was about to face?

"Pang Jian is so, and so are They. All those professed good feelings, that so-called admiration, what do they amount to in the face of life and death?"

Ying Yue sneered inwardly, disheartened.

As She and Han Yi were being suppressed, facing imminent death, Pang Jian, who was wholeheartedly forging the Divine Tao to become the Sovereign, chose to retreat into the Ruin Domain and not emerge, which left Her quite disheartened.

—Although She understood that Pang Jian’s choice was extremely wise.

Yet, because it was She and Han Yi who were about to be sacrificed, because She was a party concerned, She found it difficult to let go.

"Han Yi, from now on, you must live well for yourself and never pin your hope on anyone again."

This was the only sentence Ying Yue said before leaving the Misty Sea.

"Ying Yue!"

Han Yi shouted, trying to activate her own Divine Platform to leave with Ying Yue.

But Her Divine Platform did not budge, suppressed by the combined forces of several deities, preventing Her from dying together with Ying Yue.

"Sir Yan Lie, let me go with Her! If we must die, let us die together!"

Han Yi pleaded loudly.

"I have other plans for you," Yan Lie said with a cold gaze, glancing from afar at the Divine King’s Skull. "I will continue to coerce Pang Jian using you. You don’t need to rush to seek death."

"Hurry up!"

Yan Lie pointed to the hexagonal shield, which suddenly accelerated.

"Whoosh!"

Under the hexagonal shield’s guidance, Ying Yue’s Divine Platform broke away from the Misty Sea and suddenly found itself in the tumultuous Desolate Star River.

Then, the sorrowful expression on Her face was instantly replaced by astonishment and shock.

—She was stunned speechless by the scene above.

Stars like clumps of mud flew haphazardly in this star river, bombing deities like Her to smithereens, creating even more debris of deities’ remains and Divine Platforms.

In the central battlefield, where the dark Divine Aura churned, the three Sovereigns temporarily ceased their war, all eyes turned in one direction.

There, a figure with a seven-colored majestic body, surrounded by nine rounds of the great sun, stood erect in the void.

Within the depths of his eyes, a picture of stars whistling could be seen, with golden threads seemingly moving the stars within his pupils.

"Controlling the stars!"

"Pang Jian Yuan Shen!"

Ying Yue couldn’t stop exclaiming.

"It is Pang Jian slaughtering the gods!"

Ying Yue let out another shriek.

In the dark and icy Void, deities like the Hall of Gods, Fu Ya, and the God of Light were still in the dark tide; the Black Phoenix’s demonic body was pitch-black like ink, making these beings not very eye-catching.

Whereas Pang Jian in the midst of the nine great suns, with his Seven-Colored Primordial Spirit dazzling, appeared so radiant.

The gaze of all the survivors naturally converged upon him, and Ying Yue was no exception.

By this point, even if She was foolish, She could see who had caused the cataclysm in the Star River, making the deities fall like shooting stars—the culprit was Pang Jian Yuan Shen who had escaped the Misty Sea!

The stars were shaken by him, the Starry Space Supernatural Ability surged violently, and the Heaven and Earth Laws were manipulated by him!

It was Pang Jian who was directing it all!

This unfamiliar void that Ying Yue found Herself in, had become exclusively Pang Jian’s heaven’s law arena, matching his Great Tao, where he wielded overwhelming Divine Power!

"Pang Jian!"

Fu Ya let out an indignant whisper.

With her cry, She once again spurred the power of the Hall of Gods, starting from the temple to lift waves of energy ripples, attempting to stop Pang Jian’s violent deeds.

"Whoosh!"

The momentary pause in the dark tide suddenly erupted with earth-shattering roars, with destructive, ruinous, poisonous, corrupting Alien Power raging towards the Hall of Gods.

Darkness engulfed the Hall of Gods and Her entirely!

"That Black Phoenix is containing the two Sovereigns, letting Pang Jian slaughter the deities!"

Ying Yue realized.

Meanwhile, after the suns extinguished, the cold moon with which Ying Yue had a connection blossomed with intense brilliance!

The Moon’s light became extremely refined and focused, turning into a moon stream!

Within the moon stream, the profound truths of the Moon abounded, the laws imprinted by numerous Moon Gods became so clear, so straightforward.

It shot towards Ying Yue like a meteor, instantaneously infusing into Her body.

Ying Yue, who had been obliged to cease the ascension to High God due to the Ruin Domain’s interference with Alien Supernatural Ability, suddenly received a vast expanse of Moon Energy and integrated deeper truths of the Moon.

Her cultivation rocketed, She also felt a frenzied infusion of pure Divine Aura, and thereupon in Her own Divine Platform, She ascended to a High God in one leap!

"Pang Jian!"

Ying Yue called out inwardly.

The previous frustrations, resentments, and suppressions were swept away in an instant!

The realm that She had been desperately pursuing had been achieved in a very short time with the strenuous aid of Pang Jian!
