Chapter 725: Descent
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nine Tier Purgatory, ninth tier.
This was the rumored wasteland, the source of all chaos, and the place where the Lord of the Evil Demons, Apophis, stayed.
Of course, the latter was purely a falsehood.
Previously, all of the Gods were fooled by this.
At the moment, small bright flames started burning in the wasteland to reveal many bones.
Within these bones, most of them belonged to Evil Demons, but there were still many human bones mixed inside. The dark aquamarine fire slowly burned on top and formed a path of death.
At the end of this path of white bones, there was a massive platform.
It was built from the bones of the Sons of Purgatory and Legend Evil Demons, having an unusual feel to it.
Ping! Ping!
Suddenly, two corpses fell from the sky and transformed into a portion of the platform. Their flesh and blood quickly melted to reveal white skeleton.
“We’ve finally reached this stage?”
A white bone throne slowly rose on the peak of the platform. Fang Yuan sat on it, his left hand propping up his chin as he stared in front.
Before him, the many images had already combined to reveal the figure of a Son of Purgatory.
They had killed all of the Sons of Purgatory and the majority of the Evil Demons possessing divinity, traversed the eighth tier of purgatory, and finally walked onto the path of white bones and reached this place.
“Slaughter, death, conspiracy, pain… Although there are only these Godhoods, which was slightly less than what I anticipated, it’s enough if the sun is included as well.”
Step! Step!
With each step, the image continuously zoomed in on the peak of the white bone platform.
A human figure resolutely walked up the steps one by one and finally fused with the bright silhouette into one form. “Apophis!?”
Their voice was firm, but also contained fury and murderous intent.
“Welcome, the final Son of Purgatory!”
Fang Yuan slightly smiled and stood up from the throne with opened arms. “You carry my divinity and hopes, and have finally come to me!”
“Why?” There was an uncontrollable fury in the Son of Purgatory’s voice. “Why did you have to do all of this? To bring suffering to the world?”
“For dreams! For a higher purpose!”
Fang Yuan said matter-of-factly, “This world… is only my stepping stone! And you’re merely a tool that can help me break through my realm! However, I am still slightly surprised that you’re the one to appear here, Amanda!”
That was right!
The ultimate Son of Purgatory who had reached him was not Heim, the Son of Salvation. Neither was it the favorite child of the Mother Earth Goddess, Django, nor even Legends like the Javina Brothers, but instead Amanda!
“You… recognize me?” Amanda was slightly surprised.
Immediately, she carefully checked through her memories, but was completely unable to recall a familiar human figure with black armor.
“All of those with divinity are in my control; such as Zorro, that dumb fool; Jay, that lunatic… Of course, there was also Heim, who had defected to me earlier. Although he only wanted to purify my power, he ultimately accepted the influence of divinity. He was a pitiful person that was easily swayed!” Fang Yuan mentioned casually.
“Noooooo!” Amanda’s eyes were completely red. “Heim finally managed to pull away from the influence of divinity and voluntarily found liberation in my hands!”
“Liberation?” Fang Yuan waved his hand, and a translucent soul appeared. It was Heim! “He thought… that death was the final destination and could even return to the Life Goddess’ God Nation? Too bad… this was basically an extravagant hope. All of the beings with divinity belong to me!”
Seeing that partially lifeless face, Amanda was stunned, as if she once again saw the scene of Heim at the brink of death.
At that moment, he had already killed the Sons of Purgatory and achieved an even more powerful boundary. She had been no match for him.
However, such a person instead chose to commit suicide to struggle against destiny.
But despite doing this, he was still unable to escape from the clutches of Apophis?
“You Evil God!” Amanda cursed, and many domains appeared beside her. The illusions of God Nations appeared, formed a hexagram that constantly shifted.
“Compared to me, you who possesses six evil Godhoods are much more suited for the title of an Evil God!” Fang Yuan said and smiled lightly.
Naturally, it was not only Jay and Zorro that were apotheosized Sons of Purgatory. Although death and slaughter were truly the most powerful evil Godhoods, there were still many others like pain and conspiracy.
It was just that the crisis brought by the Purgatory this time was really somewhat short.
If not for the pressure brought about by that existence, Fang Yuan could have made the last phase evolve for hundreds of years. At that time, the number of Evil Gods would definitely be much more.
Furthermore, divinity would contaminate all of the Gods and absorb the desolation of the entire world to obtain an immense and unparalleled power!
It’s still not sufficient with merely this. With the addition of some fellows who think that they’re clever, it’ll be nearly enough!
Fang Yuan laughed coldly in his heart and looked toward Amanda. “What? You’re infuriated? You’re so angry that you want to kill me?”
“Master of the Nine Tier Purgatory, Lord of the Evil Demons, Apophis, you should not exist in this world,” Amanda muttered and instantly took action.
Swoosh!
Seemingly using teleportation, she directly appeared behind Fang Yuan, and her dagger carrying the power of destruction directly stabbed at a vital spot.
Dang!
After a dull thud, the armor instantly crumbled to reveal the empty interior.
“Apophis!” Amanda roared and looked toward the sky, spreading the power of the God Nations without restraint. “Come out!”
“I… am always present!” A voice suddenly rang in her head. It was Fang Yuan’s voice. “All divinity is a portion of me! The Nine Tier Purgatory is my body!”
“Noooooo!” Amid Amanda’s shrill cries, a black figure suddenly appeared in her sea of consciousness.
This black figure covered the heavens and the earth and had the enhancements from the shadow of the Nine Tier Purgatory. A large amount of Evil Demons were worshiping and chanting.
Intensely profane words formed black chains that firmly restrained her soul.
Once all of the Purgatory’s divinity accumulated from slaughter converged in a body, Apophis’ will would then descend and deprive them of everything they had to resurrect his true body!
The ultimate curse borne by the Sons of Purgatory finally appeared on Amanda’s body!
“No! I can’t admit defeat!”
In the pitch-black chains, Amanda’s soul relentlessly struggled. “If I admit defeat, then Zorro’s sacrifice and Heim’s resolution would have been completely meaningless!”
The tenacity of this young lady’s will was definitely out of Fang Yuan’s expectations.
Furthermore, as she was struggling, the profane black chains seemed to have signs of breakage.
“Tenacious will, I like that…” Seeing this young lady’s struggles, Fang Yuan laughed slightly. “Amanda, do you still remember Clegg and Michael? They’re still alive!”
This time, he used Luhn’s voice.
“You are…”
Kaboom!
Amanda’s soul became sluggish and was quickly grasped by the giant palms of the black figure before cracking open!
…
On top of the white bone platform, Amanda’s body exploded open and formed a golden vortex.
On top of it, a beacon had already appeared.
A holy light flashed intensely, linking to a vast and huge palace.
That was the brilliance emitted by the Temple of the Gods!
“Gods? You came at the right time!”
Fang Yuan entered into the divinity vortex with a smile hanging from the sides of his mouth. “If the origin power is still unable to assist me in breaking through, then this world is my last hope!”
Using the power of creation and the Evil Demon Placenta to refine origin power was the initial plan that he had set when he came to the Monger World.
And throughout this process, the backlashes were all borne by the world.
Originally, Fang Yuan still wanted to use the influence of origin power to indirectly take down the entire world.
However, with that existence ceaselessly approaching, this caused him to have no choice but to accelerate his plans by several times.
Right now, even if he completed the refinement of origin power, he might still be unable to entirely break through.
Thus, he required the sacrifice of the Gods!
With the contamination of origin power and the domains of those invading Gods, he would definitely control the majority of this world!
“The beacon has been activated!”
Inside the Temple of the Gods, Harvest Lady Willa suddenly opened her eyes with a slight surprise. “Confirm that Apophis has appeared and immediately transfer the Temple of the Gods!”
Right now, the misty fog of destiny was instantly dispersed, and all of the Gods knew of Fang Yuan’s existence.
“So it was like this. Apophis had abandoned his physical body, but his will instead descended into the mortal world and existed in the form of a mortal human. No wonder he could escape our searching…” the Knowledge God mumbled, and then suddenly looked at the Harvest Lady. “That Legend king was actually the incarnation of Apophis. Really inconceivable!”
“Yes!”
Had she not already become a God, it was likely that Willa’s face would become very hot.
It was too humiliating!
As one of the Nine Pillar Gods, she was actually deceived by Apophis for so long. This was sufficient for her to be mocked by the other Gods for thousands of years!
“I suspect that he has perhaps obtained a Godhood related to trickery. Otherwise, it’d be impossible for him to do something like this!”
The Mother Earth Goddess slowly said, “After all… we had previously blessed him. All of the Gods did not notice the abnormality of his body…”
Only a God was able to know the difficulty with this.
While discussing, the movements of the Gods were not at all slow.
The Temple of the Gods roared, and rays of enchanted runic chains appeared, causing it to suddenly break through the void and reach the ninth tier of Purgatory!
There, a thin figure was already waiting.
His figure was slender, and he wore a long, plain white robe in the style of a Da Qian scholar. He had the smell of books about him, and his eyes were like black pearls. This was surprisingly the form of Fang Yuan’s true physical body!
Of course, in the view of all the Gods, it was full of style from a different world and extremely out of place.
“Apophis!”
Currently, the Temple of the Gods floated above the ninth tier of Purgatory and many runic chains released a horrifying power that caused the white bones below to rupture.
The Gods’ infuriated roars rang out from the Temple of the Gods, “You destroyed the peace and stability of the world. As the Gods governing Monger, we unanimously decided that you will receive your proper punishment!”
