The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 918 - 877: The Wail of the Stone Eater

Above the Misty Sea, the Ruin Domain ceased to drift.

It floated atop the vast, endless grey mist, emitting dazzling firelight that disturbed all the Alien God Spirits.

Enveloped by its Boundary Wall, like a layer of translucent white jade membrane, it clearly displayed the scenes within.

Stars, the Continent, various Realm Gods, Ling Yun, Thunder Divine Court, Demon Yuan Power Deep Sea, a patch of Realm God Cards, and the towering Pang Jian amidst the Star River!

"He has emerged!"

"This world can actually detach from the Misty Sea at will!"

Bai Zi and Xinghuan exclaimed in amazement, scrutinizing the stars above, and soon saw Divine Spirits descending like shooting lights.

At that moment,

"Crack!"

Another massive star, refined and disintegrated into torrential Alien Power after being crushed by the "Original Demon Fusion Spell."

In the depths of the "Chaos Star River" where Pang Jian was situated, a new grand sun appeared due to the vanishing of that particular star!

"The third sun!"

Fahua bared his teeth and grimaced, both shocked and excited.

"Another piece of the sun’s crystal core!"

Heart brimming with joy, Pang Jian looked up to see the familiar starry sky, and also the swift approach of the gods.

His eyes harbored not a hint of fear.

At this point, as his Primordial Spirit and physical body had merged, he believed that aside from God Luo and the Wisdom Goddess, no Alien God Spirit had the power to kill or severely injure him either inside or outside of the Misty Sea.

And the Ruin Domain was none other than the skull of the Devine King Yan Hao; within the Boundary Wall were embedded steadfast laws.

Should the skull shatter and the laws of the Boundary Wall break, he could instantly reach the Seventh Layer of Purgatory with the Realm God Card, and not even God Luo nor the Wisdom Goddess could stop him.

It was precisely because he had the confidence to freely leave the battlefield that he did not fear those two Sovereigns.

"I want to see what exactly Ling Yun is up to."

Pang Jian multitasked.

While running the "Original Demon Fusion Spell," he also delved into the "Sun Refining Technique," and manipulated the Thunder Divine Court with his mind.

Deep within his Dantian Soul, corresponding to the power of fire, the lands with the Flame Pool, volcanoes, and flowing fires were refining the Flame Law transferred by Yan Hao.

In those three suns, the abilities of the Fierce Sun Divine Skills transformed into phenomena like lightning, the Golden Crow Bird, Kylin, and solar flares, among others.

Within the Ruin Domain, he gradually fostered a subtle sensation that he himself was Devine King Yan Hao, once commanding the Nine Sun Heaven Strike.

He knew this was due to Yan Hao’s Divine Power left in the skull, partly refined into himself and partly branded into his God Status and Primordial Spirit, giving him such an illusion.

Yet, this also meant that Ling Yun’s will spread across the Ruin Domain, could no longer control it completely.

Seeing several Demon Gods appear, he smiled nonchalantly and said easily, "Ling Yun, is shifting the Divine King’s skull out of the Misty Sea your way of negotiating with me, to let the outer gods see that?"

"You could say that," replied the Spirit Race image of the Ancient God of Life with a nod and a smile.

At this very moment, He allowed stars to approach a vortex without desperately harnessing His power to stop the movements of the stars and the land.

—He had the power to do so, but He only detached the Ruin Domain from the Misty Sea.

He exposed this unique and different world below the gazes of the gods so that they could witness the astonishing power possessed by Pang Jian, when his Primordial Spirit and body merged.

"Fuya..."

Ling Yun furrowed his brows and suddenly snapped his fingers.

"Snap!"

A long, eerie stream of souls shot out from the grey vast Misty Sea like a grey ribbon toward the Ruin Domain.

"Teacher!"

The true Divine Body of the Wisdom Goddess Fuya hovered in the middle of the "River of Wisdom."

One of His Divine Hands magnified immensely as He reached down toward the Misty Sea below.

The reassembled Stone Eater, in the form of Fragment Land, suddenly appeared above the Misty Sea!

Simultaneously, a crack suddently tore through the void behind Fuya.

A palace completely silver-white leaped out from it, appearing in this desolate and remote Star River.

The palace stood a hundred thousand feet tall, with many niches for Godhoods on its external wall, each corresponding to a Divine Spirit.

This was the Hall of Gods!

Yet this famously extramundane Hall of Gods was covered in obvious cracks, as if it had been shattered and then pieced back together.

The cracked and flawed Hall of Gods, insufficient in restraining the gods, could no longer utterly balance the Divine Spirits marked within.

The many wonders of the Hall of Gods were also unable to be fully displayed due to the cracks.

"A thirteenth-level Stone Eater! Spirit of Stone!"

A crowd of nearby God Spirits exclaimed in surprise, as if they had discovered a new continent.

Fu Ya, with a cold expression, dragged the Stone Eater made up of fragments, as if dragging a dead dog, toward that mysterious Hall of Gods.

"Crack!"

The smaller Stone Eater let out a strange wailing from within its heart-shaped fragment.

"Pang Jian, save me!"

"Please!"

"Pang Jian, I don’t want to die!"

Each "crack" sound signified the shattering of one of its limbs, the slicing of its Spirit of Stone essence, and its fusion with the Hall of Gods.

Taken by Fu Ya, who had expended a great deal of effort on a strange land within the Misty Sea to advance it to a thirteenth-level Exotic Spirit, it immediately met its fatal fate upon leaving the Misty Sea.

It was a fate it had foreseen since its capture, yet it was powerless to resist.

"Crack!"

The fragments were being cut by many "Blades of Wisdom," first turning into blocks of Crystal Stones, then transforming into a peculiar "Stone Marrow" that was somewhere between solid and liquid and finally being poured into the significantly cracked Hall of Gods.

In the Ruin Domain, Pang Jian listened to the Stone Eater’s wails, frowning silently.

He had thought that after Fu Ya left the Misty Sea, she would immediately enter the Ruin Domain, whether against him or against Ling Yun, and would certainly do something.

Unexpectedly, Fu Ya merely dragged the Stone Eater out to mend the Hall of Gods, which was riddled with cracks.

"The Hall of Gods..."

His brow twitched, and from that ancient, dilapidated palace, he felt a palpable unrest.

Being in the Ruin Domain, there was still a Boundary Wall, and he could not establish a connection with the outside world.

He could see Fu Ya, the various Demon Gods, as well as Han Yi and Ying Yue among a group of God Spirits, but he couldn’t project his Divine Consciousness outward.

Yet, the Hall of Gods made him uncomfortable, giving a feeling of oppression that even the Boundary Wall couldn’t block.

"This temple, I fear, can break through the Ruin Domain’s Boundary Wall. As for the Stone Eater..."

Pang Jian felt anxious, secretly observing the activity outside, pondering how to intervene.

Inside, there was the Ancient God of Life Ling Yun, outside, the Wisdom Goddess Fu Ya, along with many Alien God Spirits, the situation was overly complex and dangerous.

...

"Only a thirteenth-level Spirit of Stone, with the essence within it, can repair this fragmented Hall of Gods."

The imposing Wisdom Goddess looked once over the Ruin Domain and Ling Yun, then shifted her gaze away.

She finally fixed her eyes on the Hall of Gods at hand, her face filled with anticipation, and her lips slightly curving upwards.

A group of descending God Spirits, including Demon Gods Luan Ji, He Motian, Qi Ling, and Ti Wei, had their attention initially on the Ruin Domain but now, at this moment, all stared at her and the Hall of Gods.

"The Hall of Gods is about to be restored."

These God Spirits also had complex expressions.

All the God Spirits knew that this temple was a symbol of power and also possessed the capability to bind God Spirits.

Only within the Hall of Gods, where a God Spirit had a place, would one be regarded as an orthodox God Spirit.

Such a God Spirit then had the right to rule over a Star Domain, be allowed to create their own Divine Country and churches, harvest the Power of Faith, and pursue more power and godhood.

God’s name, if not inscribed in the Hall of Gods, was called an Evil God or Alien God.

Evil Gods and Alien Gods had no right to rule over a Star Domain, and upon appearing in the Heavens Star River, they would be hunted by orthodox God Spirits and targeted collectively by several Sovereigns’ subordinates.

Inscribing a God Spirit’s name in the Hall of Gods, and above the Hall of Gods, was the pursuit of all orthodox God Spirits.

Those with higher rankings obtained greater rights and naturally held higher status.

Before, everyone was pleased to do so.

Since the Hall of Gods had suffered severe damage and there are still flaws and cracks after the restoration, the powerful God Spirits whose names were branded would not be heavily restricted by the Hall of Gods.

Now, the Wisdom Goddess Fu Ya, in the Misty Sea, has created a "Spirit of Stone" of a thirteenth level, and it is using its Dominion-class "Spirit of Stone" essence to repair the Hall of Gods.

After the Hall of Gods is successfully restored, a Sovereign like Fu Ya will be able to maneuver the Hall of Gods to do many things.

God Spirits whose names are inscribed must contribute their Divine Power when the Sovereign acts.

If a God of the Void cooperates, through those names and the Hall of Gods, the Sovereigns can directly summon the true forms of the God Spirits, serving as their foot soldiers in battle.
