Deep in the boundless strange fog.
A huge piece of flaming ground flew away into the void like a meteor.
It has a set direction and goal, without a single moment of stagnation or pause, and it seems like it will never lose its way.
Behind the broken land, a hundred miles away.
A golden bee worm, like a beam of golden lightning, was following from a distance.
When the bee-worm is about to become disconnected from its owner, a new bee-worm will fly over and serve as a bridge of communication.
The bees and insects are like lighthouses scattered in the strange fog, and they can sense and communicate with each other.
Because of this, the bee worm's perception limit was extended and expanded, and it could always follow the piece of flaming broken land heading towards Purgatory.
I don’t know how long it will be.
“Whoosh!”
The bees and insects escaped from the strange fog and looked at the flaming debris that was like a meteor, dragging a brilliant stream of fire, falling from the second realm of purgatory straight to the third realm.
The meteor continued to fall, disappearing into the fourth realm shrouded by foul alien forces.
At this moment, the bee insect disappeared into the strange fog again and continued to act as a guiding beacon.
The years pass silently.
The diligent golden bee worm hid in the strange fog adjacent to the second realm of purgatory, silently waiting for the instructions of its master.
A long time passed again.
"call out!"
A white crane, stirring up lightning, also crossed the endless sea of fog and successfully found its way home from somewhere.
"Purgatory!"
"I'm finally back!"
As soon as it escaped from the strange fog, the white crane flapped its wings and flew upwards, heading straight for the first realm.
Following the white crane, the golden bee-worm left the strange fog again, looked at the empty and deserted sky, stayed for a while, and then returned to the depths of the strange fog.
Occasionally, powerful and extraordinary beings would come to the entrance of the forbidden land, but they were in awe of the laws of nature within the strange fog and did not dare to explore deeper.
Those whose realm does not exceed the Concentrated Mind Realm all have fear on their faces when they pass through this area.
From the news they got, the unrivaled genius Fu Wangchen from the Desolate Realm, Wu Yuan from the Demon Sect, Lu Lingchan from the Black Valley, Jiang Chao from the Sky Water Lake, and Pang Jian, the direct disciple of Li Zhaotian...
They have all perished deep in the forbidden area.
…
The second realm, Sword Tower.
"Confirmed, they were all buried in the forbidden area?"
Li Zhaotian said with a serious expression.
In the hall, Qi Qingsong's teacher Liu Junhong, Zhuang Yuyan's mentor Guanghe, and several elders including Wang Ce were standing next to different stone pillars, all with solemn expressions.
"A sacred crane from the Pure Land. It is the only creature from our Purgatory that has left the forbidden area."
Liu Junhong sighed and continued, "A while ago, a ball of fire wrapped around a piece of broken land and sank from the depths of the strange fog to the fourth realm, and then directly to the fifth realm."
"No one knows what secrets are hidden in the blazing flame. We only know that it went to the fifth realm."
"Not long after it fell, the alien races in the fifth realm seemed to have suddenly found a backbone, and strong men continued to break through the seal of the Heaven-reaching Tribulation Pillar."
Liu Junhong's expression became increasingly grim, and he said, "The higher-ups said that all of the Heaven-reaching Tribulation Pillars have had problems recently, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to restrict the powerful alien races from the Fifth Realm."
Guanghe said coldly: "Are we going to risk our lives to face the alien race again?"
"Well, once the Heaven-reaching Tribulation Pillar loses its deterrent power, the seventh, eighth, and ninth level alien warriors will begin to step into the sky from the fifth realm." Li Zhaotian frowned and said, "The problem should be that piece of broken land wrapped in flames. But the current situation makes it difficult to go deep into the fifth realm to investigate."
"Why."
He sighed and said, "The successor I chose for myself and the Sword Tower died in the forbidden area. Otherwise, when I bring him to a certain level, I will be ready to impact the True God Realm."
Several elders looked surprised.
At this moment, everyone realized how much hope he had placed on his personal disciple whom he had not yet met.
"The sword path and heavenly path I cultivate are too extreme and radical, and the road to becoming a god is bumpy and rugged. If I succeed, the Sword Tower will be able to return to the First Realm, and I will become one of the top five true gods."
"But the chance of failure is also very high. I'm not completely sure, so..."
Li Zhaotian sensed the disaster of Purgatory and seemed worried. He said, "Let's wait and see. When the situation becomes so serious that I must be deified, I will make this last move."
"Master, can't your other two disciples and the younger generations in the building replace you?" Wang Ce asked.
Li Zhaotian shook his head and said, "Everyone is still a little short."
"Is Pang Jian really so gifted?"
Several elders exclaimed.
Li Zhaotian said: "His path is even more bizarre. Only an unorthodox and different path can inherit my legacy and lead the Sword Tower to a whole new height."
…
Time flies, the years pass by like a shuttle.
In the void where there is no sun, moon, or stars to reference time, the passage of time can only be measured with the help of special instruments.
A few months later, in the Ice and Thunder Forbidden Land.
“Boom!”
At the top of the glacier where Pang Jian was, the rock ice suddenly exploded.
Surprised glances came from the nearby mountains and rivers, from the hilly areas of the tiankeng, and from the broken city.
"grown ups!"
"Pang Jian!"
The crowd, who had been waiting for a long time, cheered loudly.
Everyone's patience was about to be exhausted, but Pang Jian was still hiding in the cave and refusing to come out, which made them very tormented.
The unusual movement on the mountaintop startled everyone, and they felt that a turning point had finally appeared.
A moment later.
A towering statue that seemed to be made of gold, shining with brilliant golden light, rose from the top of the glacier.
He was nearly a hundred feet tall, and exuded a mighty divine power, like the projection of the soul of an alien god from another realm.
But he clearly had Pang Jian's figure and appearance.
"Concentrate?"
"Pang Jian has forged a divine soul!"
"How come his soul was able to escape from his flesh and blood body as soon as it was condensed?"
Qi Qingsong and others screamed in shock, as they were unsure of Pang Jian's condition.
This is because there is an essential difference between the state of concentration and the state of wandering soul.
The state of concentration of mind, the entire state requires tempering the soul little by little, in order to prepare for the soul's journey abroad.
However, the moment Pang Jian's soul was forged, it immediately separated from his body, giving people a mysterious feeling as solid as gold.
This is completely different from what everyone understands as the state of concentration!
"grown ups!"
Bingyuan, Bingying, Bingjing, Binghe and other elders of the Ice Clan rode flying birds from the top of another mountain to Pang Jian's side.
They saw at a glance that Pang Jian’s true body had just stepped out of the ice cave below.
"Um."
Pang Jian responded indifferently, then tapped his forehead.
“Whoosh!”
His golden soul suddenly entered.
Glancing at the Fourth Elder's Ice Mirror, Pang Jian said bluntly: "If you don't want to go to Purgatory, you can borrow a warship and take those who are willing to follow you on a long journey."
"My Lord, I..."
Bing Jing wanted to explain.
Pang Jian waved his hand impatiently, and the nine glaciers standing in the Thunder God's forbidden land exerted tremendous force together.
The bloodline of the ice mirror was also upgraded to the seventh level. The body was frozen by the alien force and was directly moved to an alien warship above a glacier.
"Gather all the Ice Clan members you can."
"If you guys are willing to go with him to another world to find a way out for the Ice Clan, you can go."
"Only those who stay in this broken land and are willing to accompany me to Purgatory will be given shelter by me in the future."
Pang Jian expressed his attitude.
Outside the ice mirror, the other five Ice Clan elders stared blankly at Pang Jian, who seemed like a different person.
"I would like to follow you."
"I will follow you to Purgatory."
The five elders expressed their opinions one after another.
"very good."
Pang Jian nodded slightly.
"call!"
The gigantic "Heart of Winter" flew out from his Dantian spiritual sea and once again sat on the prayer altar in the frozen land.
In the next moment.
“Boom!”
The two pieces of ice and thunder merged into one, and a sudden vibration came from deep underground. This vibration formed a thrust, pushing the pieces of ice and thunder to move from the void here.
It was extremely slow at first, but then it got faster and faster.
"call!"
Zhao Yuanqi came over driving the gourd.
Qi Qingsong, Dong Tianze, Zhou Qingchen, and Zhuang Yuyan landed beside Pang Jian one by one, looking at him in surprise and doubt.
In their eyes, Pang Jian seemed to have changed a lot because he had condensed his soul.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Qingchen asked with concern.
"fine."
Pang Jian tried hard to calm himself down.
Waving his hand, he first signaled several elders of the Ice Clan to leave, and then said: "Luo Hongyan's reappearance, his identity that I cannot figure out, makes me..."
"Have a drink."
Zhou Qingchen threw out a pot of wine.
He did not mention the strangeness of Pang Jian's soul, nor did he ask Pang Jian's next plan. He just said, "What do you think of Him?"
“It’s like, He is suddenly infinitely far away from me. So far that I have to look up to Him, and I don’t like this feeling…”
Pang Jian drank heavily, his expression dazed: "I don't know what He wants to do, but I feel that what He is going to do is not good for Purgatory. The entire Purgatory may be turned upside down by Him, and I don't know how to deal with Him next."
Zhuang Yuyan, Zhao Yuanqi, and Wu Yuan of the Demon Sect also landed at different places on the mountain top.
They were also looking at Pang Jian in surprise at this moment.
In their impression, Pang Jian is cold and rarely opens up to others, nor does he talk about his own affairs.
This was the first time Pang Jian spoke of a person of the opposite sex with a confused look on his face.
However, when I think of the boundless divine power that spreads across the sky and covers the earth.
Several people either asked Zhou Qingchen for wine or took out the wine jugs and drank by themselves, all sighing.
They felt deeply pessimistic about themselves and the future of Purgatory.
"Is there no way out for us humans?"
Zhao Yuanqi sighed and lowered her head and said, "We also heard what the alien god with the bone spur on his back said before he left the Ice and Thunder Shattered Land."
"The deified people of this era, the moment they step out of the Purgatory Heaven and Earth, begin to be besieged and hunted by the gods from the outside world."
"The true gods of the earlier times could only live in exile in the vast galaxy, but they were still being hunted by the gods."
"Below, those alien races who believe in them are aggressively taking advantage of the upward rise of the filthy alien power to erode our territory bit by bit."
"Humanity, where should we go from here?"
There are persecutors below, and outside the sky there are gods killing us.
After learning some of the truth from Yangluo and witnessing the horror of Luo Hongyan, the few people always felt that the extinction of the human race was at hand.
They have always been proud of their origins and proud of being human.
The human race controls the first, second, third, and fourth realms of Purgatory, suppresses all alien races that dare to disobey, and is the actual ruler of Purgatory.
They thought they were the darlings of this world, and even in the outside world, they were outstanding leaders.
But now...
When they realized that Purgatory was a cage but also a protective film that protected them from extinction, their so-called pride and arrogance suddenly seemed extremely ridiculous.
It turns out that the human race is just in a very small cage and has always been arrogant.
