The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 933 - 892: Controlling the Skull

Above the Misty Sea, the Outer Starry Sky.

Atop the coldly radiant moon, within a crystal-clear Divine Platform, Han Yi sat motionless, like an exquisitely carved statue.

He gazed down at the Misty Sea from God Land, having been silent for a long time.

Next to him, the Moon Goddess looked around, watching the surviving God Spirits leave one after another.

Because of the skull containing the Ruin Domain that had sunk into the depths of the Misty Sea, the God Spirits gathered here suffered heavy casualties. Four Great Demon Gods were even imprisoned and suppressed by the Hall of Gods, which left the surviving God Spirits in fear and trepidation.

Apart from God Luo and the God Spirits under Fuya, most of the unrelated God Spirits had already evacuated from these Star Rivers.

Thus, the void where the Starry Space Supernatural Ability was thin once again became desolate.

"Pang Jian..."

Ying Yue suddenly frowned slightly, her lips white as jade, curving into a profound arc as she said in a deep voice, "It’s too fast."

Han Yi’s clear eyes seemed to reflect his innermost thoughts as he said in a soft voice, "I feel like I’m getting farther and farther away from him."

"Ah." Ying Yue sighed, her face filled with concern as she said, "Looking at the stance of those two Sovereigns, once the Hall of Gods completes their rites and manages to imprison all the Demon Gods, they will summon the elite forces scattered across various Star Rivers to launch a campaign against the Misty Sea World."

"And we..."

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Since He has regarded us highly and treats us as part of His retinue, we too will join in the deep expedition into the Misty Sea."

"Han Yi, you must remember our stance, do not treat Pang Jian as a companion anymore."

"That person, He will never tolerate you having secret dealings with Pang Jian, helping an outsider confront Him."

Using the Ice Tribe’s Altar of Praying to God, Han Yi had conveyed some secrets to Purgatory. He was well aware of this.

Because of this, he had always been uneasy, fearing that God Luo would hold them accountable upon discovering the truth.

He had never quite understood why God Luo gave them special treatment, but he was very clear that the Sovereign of the Heaven Clan was always ruthless and might unleash a massacre at any moment because of suspicions.

"My accumulation is almost complete, and I’m getting ready to begin my advancement to High God." Han Yi abruptly said.

Ying Yue raised an eyebrow, expressing surprise, "So soon?"

"It is a bit risky, but I have no choice," Han Yi said with a hint of bitterness in his heart.

He sat up a bit straighter, making the mountain peaks on his chest appear much higher, "There’s too much uncertainty in the future, and since we’re eventually going to fall into the Misty Sea, the higher our realm, the better."

Ying Yue looked at him intently and said, "I always worry that you’ll continue to do foolish things."

"Perhaps," Han Yi said with a slight tug at the corner of his mouth, "but if I only have such a cultivation level, then I don’t even have the qualifications to do foolish things."

Ying Yue pondered for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "In that case, I will also try to break through to the High God realm."

Upon hearing this, Han Yi’s eyes brightened.

After swearing loyalty to God Luo, that Sovereign who wielded the authority of Brightness granted them many profound and inscrutable truths of the Great Tao, helping them to straighten out the secrets of their Bloodlines.

The Great Tao Laws that God Luo was proficient in were primarily based on Brightness but also encompassed Cold Ice, Death, Life, and even the Dark Laws.

He imparted some of the secrets of the Cold Ice to Han Yi, sufficient for Han Yi to complete the promotion to High God.

Ying Yue, who studied the Great Tao of the Moon, found it compatible with His power of Brightness, which also benefitted Ying Yue greatly, giving her a sense of opportunity for breakthrough.

The accumulation they needed – divine materials, Strange Treasures – had been mostly amassed through God Luo’s recent efforts.

Seeing the situation as severe, where Low-rank Gods, Middle-level Gods, and even High Gods could die at any moment, they were willing to take the risk without full confidence.

...

"Huff!"

Luo Hongyan’s tall and graceful Divine Shadow entered the Divine Temple, which shone like a glittering Star River, and stood shoulder to shoulder with the Wisdom Goddess Fuya.

In the void around them, Divine Platforms in the shape of pyramids, representing the God Spirits of different races, hung suspended like mountains of varying sizes.

"We’re still just a bit short."

Fuya’s demeanor was dignified, her slender hands pulling casually at the pyramid-shaped Divine Platforms, dragging them to a farther position.

Streams of jade-like brilliance flowed into the boundaries of this strange land, repairing many minute cracks.

Yet, there were still many God Stones, clearly differing from the material of the Divine Temple, becoming increasingly apparent in Her vision.

"Purgatory, the fifth layer’s Heavenly Tribulation Pillar."

Luo Hongyan’s face was indifferent as she said with narrowed eyes, "The moment I entered the Fifth Realm, I knew that the main material for constructing the Heavenly Tribulation Pillars came from this Divine Temple."

Fuya’s complexion turned cold as she said, "The destructive force that those guys unleashed instantaneously surprised even me."

"Behind those Human True Gods is the power of the Misty Sea Will. Otherwise, on their own, they would never have been able to shake the Divine Temple," Luo Hongyan explained.

"To take away some God Stones and construct seven Heavenly Tribulation Pillars, is it not only to suppress the remains of the Black Phoenix but also to ensure that the Divine Temple can never be perfected?" Fuya inquired.

Luo Hongyan nodded and said, "That’s why we must make a trip to Purgatory."

"Neither of us can reach there in our true forms," Fuya thought for a moment then said, "It seems we need to call upon strong generals under our command, to go to Purgatory and bring back those God Stones."

"We have no choice." Luo Hongyan said.

...

In the vast Misty Sea.

"Whoosh!"

The colossal skull of the Divine King, within its hollow eye sockets, two burning suns suddenly appeared, rolling around like eyeballs.

At its mouth and nose, a powerful suction force emerged, as if to swallow all the supernatural abilities of the world it could absorb.

The once-clear Boundary Wall now displayed a deep red hue, with distinct muscle-like patterns on it.

Within the skull, the stars and Fragment Lands, along with real landscapes, had quietly vanished.

It roared through the Misty Sea without a clear direction, speeding and causing unusually large spatial ripples, crossing billions of miles in an instant.

"Refining Divinity."

Within, Pang Jian whispered to himself.

As his bond with the skull deepened, his Divine Consciousness and the existing laws of order slowly merged into one. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Now, he felt as if he was a part of the skull, the soul of the skull.

He was also the embodiment of the Misty Sea World’s will.

Unlike the other "Prison" Worlds, the supreme will within the Misty Sea had not split into separate entities to reside within them.

The Ruin Domain constructed by the Divine King’s Skull possessed many peculiarities. That supreme will seemed to want to turn this skull into a war instrument akin to the Hall of Gods.

If the Hall of Gods was a weapon used by the God Spirits from beyond the sky to wage war against the Misty Sea, then this Ruin Domain, derived from the skull of Yan Hao, was the blade that the will within the Misty Sea used to strike back at the Hall of Gods, a blade aimed at the Outer Starry Sky.

And "Refining Divinity" was just one of the most fundamental uses of the Divine King’s Skull.

Ling Yun had fully grasped the mystery of "Refining Divinity." With his deep-rooted Law of Life, he harvested the weaker deities above, melting down their Divine Bodies, Divine Powers, and Spiritual Souls completely.

After Ling Yun left, Pang Jian dispersed his own power within the skull, comprehending the mysteries of this world, and had finally managed to control the peculiarity of "Refining Divinity."

"Space Transposition."

With a thought, intense spatial vibrations erupted from the unclaimed Realm God Cards.

The Realm God Cards aligned in the void like pieces of a Void Mirror, guiding the direction for this world, allowing it to move uncontrolled across the Misty Sea.

The endless gray Misty Sea indulged it, letting it rush wildly.

"Demon Prison, Ghost Prison, Sky Prison."

The three "Prison" Worlds were quickly detected and approached by it, becoming close at hand.

"It turns out that all "Prison" Worlds, compared to the vastness of the Misty Sea, are not that distant from each other. That supreme will, after creating the "Prison" Worlds, placed them in a relatively concentrated area."

"The construction of these worlds depends on... the supernatural abilities of the boundless starry space of the Star River, as well as the stars themselves!"

"It collects Alien Power from beyond, along with shattered pieces of the Starry Land, to create ’Prison’ Worlds within the Misty Sea. The creatures inside mostly rely on the flesh and spiritual essence of beings from above."

"It seems to be the invader."

As Pang Jian analyzed the Divine King’s Skull and deciphered the flickering fragmented memories within, his understanding of the world’s truths gradually reached a new level.

Yan Hao, as a Divine King of the boundless Star River above, had always known about a supreme consciousness in the upper world.

He was once that being’s blade.

He was also driven by that being to use his refined nine rotations of the great sun to campaign against the Misty Sea, ultimately falling into its depths.

According to the residual memories of Yan Hao, an incredibly strange supreme will emerged in the Misty Sea at some unknown time, one that was consistent with the supreme will of the upper Star River.

After its birth, it constructed the worlds and wonders it desired.

The twelve "Prison" Worlds and some other marvels within the Misty Sea, the creatures and plants, as well as many varied energies, were all derived from the strangeness of the Star River outside.

The formation of a "Prison" World often indicated the desolation of a Star Domain beyond.

"Prison" relies on the Star River.

The lands in the "Prison" Worlds, the Fragment Lands, mostly originate from the stars in the Star River, and the appearance of their creatures is similar.

Only when a certain Star Domain above encounters a cataclysmic impact, causing stars to shatter and the Starry Space Supernatural Ability to be entirely stripped away, does a "Prison" World take shape within the Misty Sea.

The existence of the twelve "Prison" Worlds signifies the destruction of twelve Star Domains.

The Divine King drove the Sovereign to command the Hall of Gods deep into the Misty Sea, following the will of that being above, seeking to destroy the "Prison" Worlds within the Misty Sea to diminish its influence.

The two transcendental beings could only instigate the Wisdom Races born of them to fight, unable to join the battle themselves.

"Divine King."

Pang Jian analyzed Yan Hao’s remaining memory sparks, looking up at the sky.

He received an important piece of news. Normally, a cataclysm like this one was supposed to give rise to a new Divine King.
