The Purgatory Calamity

In the resplendent void filled with starlight, Pang Lin’s momentum surged limitlessly, and her Divine Aura spread outward like a tidal wave.

Her Divine Aura was complex and ever-changing.

Destruction, devastation, thunderstorm, soul waves, darkness, brightness, corruption, deadly poison, numerous profoundly arcane laws and orders, all mingled within her Divine Aura, propelling her realm to ascend.

Yet the most fundamentally core was an immensely vast breath of life!

"Swish! Swish, swish!"

Countless life factors, manifesting as glimmers and essence blood, flickered in and out of existence within her Divine Aura.

The glimmers and essence blood condensed quietly and transformed into ferocious creatures of the Ancient Demon Clan—Azure Dragon, Kylin, Phoenix, Celestial Bird, Giant Tortoise, all were present.

Or, they became members of the Heaven Clan, Demon Clan, Spirit Race, Thunder Clan, Ice Tribe, Flame Clan, and Yao Clan.

The traces of beings no longer in existence, as well as those still in existence, were all derived from the glimmers and essence blood, coming to life vividly.

The supreme will of the Outer Heavens, the will of the Mysterious Fog Sea, the creation Divine Skills, mysterious and unpredictable.

Yet in terms of creation, it seemed Pang Lin was slightly superior!

"The domain of life, this is indeed the ultimate domain of life!" Pang Jian was greatly astonished, his gaze intensely fixed on her, saying, "The answer to the path of life and its ultimate destination should really be like this!"

He now felt that his sister, Pang Lin, had become a figure like Ling Yun through the path of life.

Only thus, Pang Lin could hope to help Luo Hongyan be reborn, to rekindle the vibrancy in Luo Hongyan’s Divine Body!

"Creator, this is indeed a new realm of existence, it’s just a pity..."

Pang Lin suddenly showed a look of regret; she had not managed to reach the ultimate realm of the Creator in an instant from the God Manifestation Realm.

Thus, she could not possess the Divine Skills of opening the heavens and creating the material world like Pang Jian.

She felt disheartened and thought she should not be like this; she should have easily become the second Creator.

But, at this moment, looking at Pang Jian who had just ascended to the God Dominion Realm in an instant, as well as the will from Yi Hao of the Outer Heavens being shocked by her amazing transformation.

Pang Jian even took a long time to elevate his Primordial Spirit from the God Manifestation Realm to the God Dominion Realm.

It was by absorbing all the Alien Power remaining in the True Body and giving birth to various Dao Source manifestations internally that he finally broke the barrier of realm confinement.

She was already so fast yet still unsatisfied.

"What’s missing, where exactly am I lacking?"

She furrowed her brow slightly, looking at her own body, feeling the strange conditions of the Primordial Spirit in her mind.

"Hmm..."

Luo Hongyan’s closed eyes quietly opened.

She looked at this familiar yet strange Star River, and at Pang Jian towering in the starry sky, Luo Hongyan’s beautiful face shrouded with confusion, she murmured, "My Divine Body has perished, why... am I still appearing in this world?"

She clearly remembered a trace of her Spiritual Soul still existed, which vividly recollected being in the middle of a godly battle with Yi Hao when his Divine Power suddenly soared to an inconceivable level.

And her God Status was momentarily controlled by an external force during the battle.

It was because of that moment of distraction that she suffered a severe blow, leading to the desiccation of her Divine Body.

When she was defeated, she understood it must have been the supreme will from beyond the heavens suddenly descending into Yi Hao’s Divine King’s Body that led to her quick defeat.

Her wounds were extremely severe, previously her body was permeated with a dense power of dead silence, making healing almost impossible by her power alone.

But now, she had come back to life!

"Who is it?"

She instinctively searched.

Her piercing cold gaze swept over Yi Hao’s Divine King’s Body, looked towards Pang Jian, and finally rested on Pang Lin.

With her Divine Consciousness probing, she detected the purest breath of life inside Pang Lin!

"Life Dao Source!"

Luo Hongyan could not help but exclaim in shock.

"It’s actually you! I did not expect that you would forge a flesh and blood body for yourself ahead of all other Dao Sources!"

The will from beyond the heavens descended upon Yi Hao, and in that moment, it grasped the truth.

Pang Jian’s spirit was shaken; he instantly understood everything.

His sister, who shared the same parents with him, was none other than the Black Phoenix, a being that looked down upon all gods from beyond the heavens, and also the very incarnation of the "Life Dao Source"!

But, hadn’t the "Life Dao Source" been shattered into countless pieces and scattered around the world in the form of "Life Crystals"?

Why did the physical body disappear, yet the "Life Dao Source" still existed in the form of the Black Phoenix, in the form of Pang Lin?

"I possess the power of Nirvana Rebirth, capable of infinitely resurrecting, never truly perishing."

Pang Lin’s lips curved into a smile as she spoke breezily, "My essence blood can resurrect any deceased creature. I can create Ancient Demons and various Alien Tribes in Purgatory."

"I, of course, have my reliance."

She withdrew the smile from her face and looked calmly at those silver radiant pupils hovering above Yi Hao, saying coldly, "Those gods, who ascended to the Sovereign and Divine King realms by following your trajectory of god-creation, scheming for the great Dao sources of the world - do you think we are unaware?"

"Mankind, all gods that can form in the universe, I am the one who exerted the most effort."

"You plan to have Them consume all Dao sources. I had learned the truth long ago. How could I not leave a way out for myself?"

"Like our kind of Dao Source, it is a mix of will, laws and order, and physical energy."

"I merely stripped away my own will, discarded the laws and body, allowing my True Body to shatter into numerous ’Life Crystals’, feigning demise in the world."

"After my True Body shattered, the Black Phoenix began to appear in the world, inherently possessing the Bloodline Divine Mystery of infinite Nirvana Rebirth."

"Infinite resurrection is my innate gift, isn’t that the domain of life I control?"

"Yet, I never intended to use this path of life to attempt to ascend to the ranks of the Sovereigns, nor to advance to be a Divine King."

"Why? I was afraid you would detect my true origin, afraid you would know my real Dao source roots."

"All this time, I’ve been in the form of the Black Phoenix, using the flesh body I created for myself to implement my will’s manifestation."

"I went to comprehend destruction, ruin, corrosion, deadly poison, Dark Laws, ascending multiple times through different Great Tao as a Sovereign, also as a means to perceive other remaining Dao sources’ profound laws."

"Like our kind of Dao Source, creating a flesh body for oneself and successfully realizing a Dao Source Deity is not without precedent."

"I am the first."

"I am the origin of life, the main reason for the existence of all life. Naturally, I have the power to create a suitable body for myself."

"All creatures in the universe, whether from the Misty Sea or bred beyond the heavens, as long as they are flesh and blood, bear my life’s imprint. I can freely harness Life Vitality for my use."

"Because, I am indeed the ultimate answer to the path of life."

Pang Lin’s face turned frosty, continuously staring at those silver radiant pupils that represented the will from beyond the heavens, her words unending.

Though her tone seemed calm, both Pang Lin and Luo Hongyan could hear the endless bitterness in her voice!

She and the "Soul Path Origin," were the first to recognize the supreme will from beyond the heavens, assisting in the creation of life, allowing the order crafted by that celestial will to permeate the great star rivers, gradually allowing it to possess the mighty power to transcend all things.

However, that being was evidently not satisfied with just this.

When that being discovered that the Sovereigns and Divine Kings, risen through its system of godhood, could engulf a kind of Dao source once refined, it tacitly approved and even indulged the actions of those Sovereigns and Divine Kings.

The fall and disappearance of Dao sources, refined one by one, were secretly propelled by it.

The awakened Dao sources, either hid or attempted to resist, were still relentlessly sought out and refined by the Sovereigns and Divine Kings.

"Soul Path Origin" ultimately fled, vanishing into the Mysterious Fog Sea, allying with another similar will.

And she meticulously wove a grand deception.

She used the shattering of her True Body as a guise, the laws of life and her physical form, split into numerous "Life Crystals," as the price, extracting her autonomous consciousness.

It appeared as though she had perished for good, but a Black Phoenix quietly emerged, beginning to soar across the Heavens Star River.

Her core Bloodline Power was constantly reborn and resurrected!

Yet she never relied on this path to advance, instead pondering the profundities of destruction, ruin, darkness, corrosion, deadly poison, and becoming the Sovereign of the Outer Star River time after time.

If she wished, she could be a member of the Ancient Demon Clan, or any race from the Heaven Clan, Spirit Race, Demon Clan, Star Tribe.

She could transform into any racial form, freely altering her own bloodline, all because she essentially is the source of life!
