The Purgatory Calamity-Chapter 888 - 848: Withering

Outer Star River.

After leaving the tree hole, Muduo stopped on a section of the giant tree’s branch, his fingers caressing the Realm God Card, murmuring softly, "A level eleven World Tree, to rebuild the Wood Prison, to become the Sovereign..."

"Whoosh!"

Muduo found himself in a dark and cold void, looking down from a high vantage point.

The cracked branches of the "World Tree" pierced through seven stars like sharp spears, attempting to draw on the rich vitality within the stars to sustain its own life force.

Regrettably, the seven stars were drained of their power, yet that was still not enough to keep it alive.

"Originally, who killed Him?"

Even now, Muduo was unclear about what exactly had caused the demise of this massive "World Tree."

"I’ve thought it through; I am willing to help your Purgatory’s World Tree advance to level thirteen," Muduo conveyed his determination while holding the Realm God Card.

"Good!"

As soon as Pang Jian’s voice arose, a bright spatial fissure tore open through the realm God Card in Muduo’s hand.

The next moment, Pang Jian, now in his normal human form, directly stepped through the void.

"Outer Domain Galaxy."

Pang Jian was shaken to his core.

The Realm God Card actually possessed the power to transport him from the Netherworld Prison in the Misty Sea to any location possessing a Realm God Card.

And it was not limited to just the realms within the Misty Sea!

This was not his first time leaving the Misty Sea, but the domains he had visited before were always within the galaxy above the Misty Sea, never venturing to more distant galaxy worlds.

The current starry sky only featured a World Tree of unimaginable size and the seven stars it penetrated.

Gazing far into the horizon and spreading out his divine consciousness, he could not see any other stars in the distance, nor did he feel the presence of other lives or soul essences.

"You, you came directly through the void from Purgatory?"

"You and the human race I know seem absolutely different; you have God Status, you... are you also a high god? Your divine body system, your way of power advancement, how could it be the same as ours?"

Muduo was indeed surprised.

As Pang Jian observed this galaxy, He was carefully discerning Pang Jian’s situation, smelling the scent of the "World Tree" on him as a high god of the Wood Tribe.

Without having entered Purgatory or having seen that level eleven "World Tree," He already confirmed that Pang Jian was not spouting nonsense.

In Purgatory, there must indeed be a "World Tree!"

"I come from Netherworld Prison."

Answering casually, Pang Jian then tried to sense other things.

He sensed the Bronze Continent that existed in the Seventh Realm, as well as the Sea of Souls in Netherworld Prison, and then, the scattered Realm God Cards.

Through the Realm God Card, he could also see the Realm God in control.

Beyond that, he was unable to establish a connection with peculiar beings like the Mysterious Turtle, Pang Ling, or the Bee King in this starry space.

"What is this place called, and how did this ’World Tree’ die?" Pang Jian inquired.

"Dark Cloud Star Region," Muduo explained. "How He died, I am still not clear."

Next, Pang Jian learned from him that long ago, the Dark Cloud Star Region was once a territory of the Clan of Bright Moon.

Later, this star domain was conquered by the Spirit Race who mined all the precious ores, then abandoned the place.

The dying "World Tree" found its way here, trying to restore its power using the stars of the Dark Cloud Star Region, but ultimately did not succeed.

Muduo chose this place partly because it was quiet and partly because He felt that if other "World Trees" were still alive, they might likely be drawn here.

He frankly expressed that, like Him, the Wood Tribe people also regard the "World Tree" as a sacred object in the Outer Star River.

"Do you mean to say that this dead ’World Tree’ also greatly attracts those younger ’World Trees’?" Pang Jian finally understood.

"Hmm." Muduo nodded, saying, "So, if possible, I hope that the ’World Tree’ in Purgatory could make a trip here."

Pang Jian’s eyes brightened up slightly, saying, "Just a moment!"

Right in front of Muduo, he utilized the Realm God Card in his hand, leveraging the connection with the Source of Metal Essence, and instantaneously reached the Seventh Layer of Purgatory from the Dark Cloud Star Region!

After becoming what’s called the "First Realm God," he had become free to come and go both within and beyond the Misty Sea.

"The Fourth Realm!"

Standing on that massive Bronze Continent, Pang Jian felt Pang Ling’s presence in a moment, and teleported there instantly!

The barriers of the Seventh Realm and the celestial balance of the Sixth Realm were already ineffective against him.

"Father!"

The sweet girl image of Pang Ling appeared in front of His massive true form, as a Spiritual Body.

"You should go out now."

Pang Jian gave a relaxed smile, creating a spatial rift in front of him.

On the other side of the rift was Muduo in the Dark Cloud Star Region, along with that lifeless "World Tree" that had pierced through seven stars.

The cold, dark, and vast emptiness, the "World Tree," which emitted an aura of desolation, had bark dry and cracked, devoid of a single leaf, its decay undated for many years.

This "World Tree" certainly possessed a tree spirit and had high Spiritual Wisdom in the past.

Now, only Muduo stood by its side, vainly hoping that another "World Tree" would come seeking, allowing Him to comprehend deeper secrets of the bloodline. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"He, He is..." Pang Ling moved closer for a better look, as if struck by a heavy blow, hugged her head and screamed, "He, He looks just like me!"

Upon hearing this, Pang Jian in Purgatory and Muduo in the Dark Cloud Star Region were both profoundly shocked.

"Father, looking at Him is like looking at my own death! It hurts, it hurts so much, my head aches!"

Pang Ling was not a tangible Soul Spirit, and while she clutched her head and wailed, she gradually began to crack.

Merely gazing at that lifeless "World Tree," Her Spiritual Body fell apart.

"Bang!"

Pang Ling disintegrated into countless dots of green luminescent light rain, falling into Her own massive trunk, still shouting in consciousness, "Father, I was murdered. The power left by that person is still in my lifeless body, I can feel it when I look, and if I get close..."

"I’m too weak, I will die!"

Pang Ling was severely damaged and spoke incoherently.

With a solemn expression, Pang Jian immediately closed the spatial rift and secretly transmitted, "How are you? In what manner should your Soul Spirit be remolded?"

His well-intentioned act had nearly caused a great disaster!

The murderer who destroyed the "World Tree" of the Dark Cloud Star Region had left behind an insidious power that Muduo was unable to perceive, and even he himself had failed to detect it upon his visit.

Sovereign?

Pang Jian’s Divine Consciousness drifted into the "World Tree," where he saw countless green luminescent lights drawing Plant Spirit Energy from within the trunk, slowly starting to coalesce again.

"I’m fine, I just need to absorb the nearby plant essences and I can reforge my Soul Spirit body."

"However, I still dare not get close to my own dead body. There’s a deeply hidden intent to kill inside it, I can feel it profoundly whenever I gaze at it."

The anxious aura of Pang Ling spread from her trunk outward, making many from the Wood Tribe feel it.

"Thud!"

A Wood Tribe warrior, who had a soul connection with Pang Ling and was walking in the jungle, suddenly died.

The life force inside this Wood Tribe member turned into intense death intent, spreading outward from him as the center.

Consequently, the section of the jungle where he was located began to wither—the flowers, plants, and trees all dying.

PS. Huh, just struggled out a Chapter, feel pretty useless~
