The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 943 - 902: The Return of the Black Phoenix

Ancient Demon World.

In the center of the stars shrouded by boundless darkness stood a gigantic black stone arch, from which intense spatial turbulence surged.

"Boom!"

The star suddenly shook as a supreme will, in harmony with heaven and earth, descended out of nowhere through some secret skill.

"Holy God!"

The many Demon Gods gathered here had fervent light flash in their demon pupils, unblinkingly staring at the black stone arch.

"Dark Star."

A cool, ethereal voice echoed through the star, drifting into the encircling layers of black halos.

Amidst the excited roars of the high-ranking Demon Gods, the petite figure of Pang Lin stepped out of the arch, coming into view of all the demons.

"Whoosh!"

A pitch-black phoenix, refined from tremendous alien power, materialized behind her tiny frame.

She moved lightly, her delicate human form standing on the forehead of the dark phoenix, her eyes coldly observing the demon gods as massive as mountains.

"Eh, is this...?"

The Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, with wings like fire and eyes like flaming stars, expressed immense confusion.

Without flapping its wings, yet stationary in the void, He gazed at Pang Lin repeatedly and couldn’t help but ask respectfully, "Holy God, is that you?"

The newcomer was not a member of the Ancient Demon Clan; there were no obvious fluctuations of bloodline in her, nor was she the familiar king of birds.

However, the Dark Laws that swallowed all sources of light were still swirling around her.

And at the feet of the newcomer, the black phoenix undoubtedly bore the unique aura of the Holy God, one that no creature or deity could imitate.

"Holy God, why have you refined a human body for yourself?" frёeωebɳovel.com

The majestic elephant, resembling golden mountains, radiated blinding golden light as it voiced its amazement, "Is it because your True Body cannot leave Purgatory, that you had no choice but to forge a human form?"

"Holy God!"

A giant snake armored in silver scales slithered through the void towards her, wailing tearfully, "You have finally returned! No matter in what form you returned, you remain the leader of our Ancient Demon Clan! Please guide us during the onset of the catastrophe, so that our Ancient Demon Clan may once again stand at the summit of the Star River!"

"How could our Holy God have the body of a human? Not possessing the body of our Ancient Demon Clan and without having achieved Sovereignty, can He still be our leader?" howled a One-Horned White Wolf atop a mountain.

He had ascended to the status of a High God in recent years and was not yet born when the Black Phoenix held all under its gaze.

He had always been conceited, convinced that even without the resurrection of the Black Phoenix, the rise of the Ancient Demon Clan would still happen because of him, believing that he would inevitably become the new leader of the Ancient Demon Clan.

"Indeed, only if He returns in the original form will we recognize Him as our leader again!"

"Humans have no right to lead our Ancient Demon Clan!"

"He who is not of our race must have a different heart. If He has abandoned the identity of the Ancient Demon Clan, then He is no longer one of us!"

Many Demon Gods who had attained their godhood in the new era had only heard of the renown of the Black Phoenix and held some skepticism just like the One-Horned White Wolf, roaring together.

"Silence!"

The Vermilion Bird Divine Bird shrieked angrily, casting a cold glance towards the emerging talents of the Ancient Demon Clan, saying, "Any decision of the Holy God is not for you to judge! He is the strongest Sovereign our Ancient Demon Clan has ever had, and His reign was the most prosperous period for our clan!"

"You just need to obey, without any rebellious thoughts!" scolded the silver-scaled giant snake similarly.

They had fought across various realms alongside the Black Phoenix and knew the leader’s relentless ruthlessness; after seeing the black phoenix refined by dark alien powers, they dismissed their doubts.

For, only He could so effortlessly create such a phoenix body on the Dark Star.

"It seems I have been gone too long..."

Pang Lin felt somewhat sentimental.

The Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, the golden elephant, the silver-scaled giant snake, and the ancient demon god akin to the pangolin who knew her temperament, their demon souls trembled at her words, quickly saying, "Don’t!"

She remained unmoved, her cold gaze pointing towards the One-Horned White Wolf that had doubted her first.

"Swoosh!"

The Phoenix refined with pure Dark Divine Power stirred the dark astral waves of the dim star, condensing into a stream of light that shot forward.

Within the stream of light, myriad terrifying laws of Heaven and Earth manifested in the form of countless sparkling minuscules.

The breath of destruction that annihilates all things, the will that corrodes all living beings, the ultimate Dao that shatters the cosmos, and the regulations that harm everything─all converged in the stream of light transformed by the Phoenix.

Sensing the unmatched horrific energy, the One-Horned White Wolf on the mountain peak suddenly howled, with the intention of yielding and uttering a few words.

"Hiss!"

The dark stream of light passed through His body, destroying His Demon Soul, crushing His demon bones, and devouring His flesh and blood to the point of extinction on the spot.

A High-ranking Demon God, who had not let out a single cry of misery, died by Her hand.

The Demon Gods who had previously answered the call of the One-Horned White Wolf now suddenly lowered their heads, trembling silently without a word, not even daring to cry for mercy.

"Any decision I make is not yours to question."

Pang Lin walked on air.

Under the watchful eyes of those Ancient Demon Gods, she flew towards the tallest Dark Divine Mountain, to the palace she had built in years past, to select the Divine Objects He left behind.

"I allow the old generation of Demon Gods to come, but they must be at the High God level."

From the darkness, His voice emanated coldly and mercilessly.

...

Dark Cloud Star Region.

"No, nothing."

The handsome Source Demon, looking over the hollowed-out Desolate Star River where people used to throng, released His Divine Consciousness to sense the surroundings, but did not detect any soul fluctuations.

"Pang Jian, that Ling Yun, and anything regarding Remnant Night aren’t here," He said to an area where Demon Element Power surged.

"Not here?"

Deep within the Demon Element Power, a Pang Jian formed of Divine Consciousness spoke with puzzlement, "On your way here, did you notice anything unusual? I’m sure Ling Yun intends to refine the World Tree to seek the path to Sovereignty. Didn’t you hear anything in the Wood Tribe domain?"

"Nothing, everything in the Wood Tribe Star Field is as usual," the Source Demon also found it strange.

"Then do you know the whereabouts of the Human True God from Outside?" Pang Jian asked again.

"I don’t know," the Source Demon thought for a moment, then said, "But I can try to communicate, that Bronze-faced God you spoke of, whether He responds or not is another issue."

"Give it a try."

...

Dusty alien world.

A group of Human True Gods from Purgatory were discussing realms among themselves, with Lin Baixiang as the leader among the elders, who selflessly imparted their understanding of the various realms to the younger generation.

"The new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves forward; you younger ones are all more distinguished than us!"

The Sword Deity Xuling expressed his emotion.

With Zhu Ji ascending through "force", aligning with all energies between Heaven and Earth, he astounded them.

Pu Zhaotian merged the Dao with Purgatory’s Heaven Forbidden, with the Sword Dao acting as a prison, appearing like a well imprisoning all beings, which also amazed these elders.

Dong Tianze entered Dao with Qi and Blood, Wu Yuan pursued the Supreme Demonic Path with his human form, and Li Yuqing contemplating the mysteries of destiny to transform into a god—all of these fellows saw rapid increases in their realms after being enlightened.

"Perhaps, our Human Race indeed has hope in standing firm again in the Outer Star River!"

Lin Baixiang too was exhilarated.

That day.

As the elder True Gods, immersed in joy, were sorting out the realm puzzles for the younger ones, a narrow space rift suddenly split open, and a translucent Alien God Spirit stepped out from it.

"Void Clan!"
