Purgatory Artist-Chapter 286: A Devil King

The forest.

Everyone had retreated.

In the spacious forest, only a young man wearing a rabbit mask and a burly man wearing a tiger mask were still there.

"We've been waiting for an hour" the young man said.

"Yes" the burly man replied.

"Seems like the evil creatures won't be coming for a while" the young man said.

"The ten thousand races of Purgatory are all cowards" the burly man coldly laughed, "they only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong, they won't dare to move forward."

The young man looked at the void of space.

A line of burning text appeared there:

[The Soul Points you've absorbed has reached the standard]

[You can now advance to level 41]

[Would you like to advance immediately?]

The young man silently replied: "Advance."

His presence rose a bit, giving off a faint gust of wind.

The burly man noticed right away.

"You're only level 41?" he asked in surprise.

"Yes" the young man replied.

"How impressive, I really hope to see what you look like after you break through level 50" the burly man exclaimed.

A line of burning text appeared in the void of space:

[You've reached level 41]

[All stats increased by 5]

[Soul Points increased to: 305]

[Now you can strengthen the skills you already have]

The young man skimmed through it and continued:

"Level 50? I heard that level 50 is a threshold, as well as the limit for Professionists."

The burly man continued: "Anyone can increase their strength to level 50, but there are two paths after that."

"I'm all ears," Liu Ping replied.

"For those under the evil creatures' control, level 50 is their limit, they definitely won't be able to increase their strength any further. The evil creatures have sealed off their path of advancement, unless ..."

"Unless what?" Liu Ping asked.

"Unless they're willing to become the Gods of Purgatory, but the evil creatures will not allow humans to become Gods and wield authority in Purgatory."

The burly man coldly laughed: "Once someone becomes a God, they won't even have time to strengthen their divine power before they'll be killed by the evil creatures."

Liu Ping thought about Yana's situation and nodded: "Then what about the second path?"

"The second path is for humans like us who have escaped the evil creatures' control, we can freely wield Mystical powers."

Saying so, the burly man casually threw a punch.

Thousands of punches flew into the night sky, breaking through the void of space.

"This punch of mine is a fusion of many Laws, I've already absorbed the true essence of mystical powers."

"Actually, your incomplete Lawless Heaven and Earth – Secret Slash Third Style already showed signs of it. I didn't expect you to only be level 41."

The burly man sighed.

Liu Ping smiled and was about to speak when his heart skipped a beat.

The burly man raised his head and looked into the sky.

A streak of fiery light appeared in the night sky and flew towards the forest like a meteor.

The burly man chuckled and took out his card tome again, drawing out one card after another.

A series of cards were tossed out, turning into gauntlets, armor, runes, and unknown images that all attached themselves to his body.

He licked his lips and said:

"Could it be that they sent a Devil King down from the Purgatory? What a great opportunity! How about we kill him together?"

Liu Ping shrugged and said, "I have no objections, but can we kill it?"

As he spoke, the fiery light landed in front of the two of them, revealing a dark purple-skinned, two-winged, single-horned devil.

"Are you the ones who are obstructing our sweep?"

The devil said with a gloomy look.

The burly man sighed in disappointment: "Hah, it's not a Devil King, how boring."

The demon spoke: "I'm here with the will of the Purgatory Council and the myriad races."

Its words stopped abruptly.

At some unknown point, the burly man had already grabbed its neck and lifted it up high.

"Rabbit, watch carefully. The so-called Mysticism is an unknown power that is created from the convergence of countless formations. It is born from the Laws, but also surpasses the Laws, so it is called 'Mysticism'"

Saying so, the burly man suddenly threw a punch.

Translucent rings began to spread out in the void.

Boom!!!

The devil was struck in the stomach by the punch and was sent flying, drawing a straight line of fire in the night sky.

It flew higher and higher until it reached the peak of the night sky, then disappeared into the darkness without a trace.

Lines of burning words appeared in his mind:

[Combat notification: The intruder was sent back to Purgatory with a single punch]

[Furthermore.]

[You've heard the secret of the source of the Mysticism power]

[Your Role Points have increased by 1]

[3/10]

Liu Ping silently read through it, then sincerely said: "Tiger, thank you for your guidance just now."

"No need to mind it, with your talents, you'll be able to find out the truth of the Mysticism sooner or later" the burly man laughed.

"Right, I just wrote something on that guy's chest, can you guess what it is?"

"What?"

"Change to a Devil King to speak to me."

"... Will they change it?"

"I don't know, it'll depend on whether or not they want to regain their dignity."

The burly man lowered his voice: "In truth, only the strongest ones in Purgatory are worth paying attention to, the other evil creatures were already no match for us back in the Age of Void, of course they're no match for us now."

At this point, another line of fire appeared in the sky.

It was extremely fast, almost as soon as it appeared, it flew into the forest.

Sha ... sha ... sha ...

A person appeared in front of them.

His face was ashen and gloomy, but he was wearing a luxurious robe.

Liu Ping carefully observed him, then a line of text appeared above his head:

[??? Devil King]

It's a Devil King.

He coughed a few times, then spoke with a weak voice: "I've seen your message, so to show my sincerity, I've personally come."

The burly man went silent for a few moments, then his aura slowly rose.

He moved his fingers a bit, then spoke:

"Truly powerful evil creatures will completely transform themselves into humans, they can't help but do so, because back in the Age of Void, they greatly admired the glorious civilization of humanity."

"That's right, who doesn't miss that era? How should I address you two? "the Devil King asked.

"Tiger" the burly man answered.

"Rabbit" Liu Ping answered.

The Devil King glanced at the burly man, then at Liu Ping, then frowned.

"Alright, enough with the small talk, I'm here to tell you that you must leave this area."

"Why?" Tiger asked.

"Because the Sequence here has sealed a prisoner, it could escape from the seal at any time" the Devil King answered.

"Prisoner? What are you doing, why did you release the prisoner? "Tiger questioned.

"We've arranged everything perfectly, we're guessing that the prisoner was released by a certain human, that's why this area was being cleared out," the Devil King said.

Tiger burst into laughter full of mockery: "Back then, if you accepted us humans, you would've had a chance to resolve the prisoner disaster, but you coveted our souls! You only have yourself to blame for this! "

"Leave quickly, I'll only say good things once, or do you want to be hunted down by the entire Purgatory?" the Devil King asked.

Tiger turned to Liu Ping and explained: "Rabbit, you're only 14 years old, there are some things you haven't experienced, let me tell you one more thing."

"I'm all ears" Liu Ping said.

"If the evil creatures are willing to talk to you nicely, first, they feel that they can't kill you, and second, they might be thinking of ways to trick you" Tiger said.

"Understood" Liu Ping said.

Tiger looked at the Devil King.

His aura suddenly rose, and he clenched his fist with one hand.

"I won't fight with you, you'll usher in true despair and destruction" the Devil King sneered.

Its body flashed, and it was about to fly into the sky.

In a flash.

Liu Ping said, "Punch."

Tiger did not hesitate and threw a punch in the direction of the Devil King.

A halo of alternating light and darkness appeared on top of Liu Ping's head, emitting a circle of light that shrouded the surroundings.

Forty meters of darkness!

In an instant, the Devil King that had just soared into the sky disappeared.

It appeared in front of Tiger's fist.

Boom!!!

The violent impact shook the heavens and earth.

The moment the Devil King was sent flying.

Liu Ping said, "Punch."

Tiger did not hesitate, and threw another punch.

In an instant, the Devil King disappeared, and once again appeared in front of Tiger's fist, and was hit hard again.

Boom!!!!

"Punch."

Liu Ping's voice was calm and flat.

Tiger let out an excited roar, and threw a punch with all his strength!

Devil King flashed, and appeared in front of his fist.

Dong

Tiger's fist almost penetrated the Devil King's stomach, and smashed it into the ground, creating a bottomless pit.

"Ahahaha, I knew you were a clever little brat!"

Ferocious Tiger burst into a hearty laughter.

Liu Ping walked in front of the pit, and waved his hand to scatter rays of holy light.

Lines of burning text quickly appeared in the void of space:

[You summoned it??? Devil King, teleported it to the location you specified]

[This type of Eternal Night summoning has been activated a total of three times]

[You've used Life-Saving Art, and began to obtain Soul Points from the other party]

Liu Ping glanced at it, and said:

"He's not dead yet."

"Of course, he's a Devil King, he's probably going to get serious soon," Tiger excitedly said.

The entire forest suddenly disappeared in front of their eyes.

The world turned white.

Undulating skeletons were everywhere that could be seen, and there was no end to it.

The earth shook non-stop.

One after another, huge statues rose from the ground.

"Card Deck Realm"

Ferocious Tiger said in a low voice.

"What's a Card Deck Realm?" Liu Ping asked.

"It has already constructed a complete set of cards, forming its own Sequence Realm, and that's its true strongest power."

Tiger said, then took a deep breath: "Rabbit, are you afraid of death?"

Liu Ping was stunned, looked down at the panda on his waist, and shook his head:

"Death? not at all."
