Purgatory Divine Artifact

"Note: During the duration of the Magic Martial Balance' event, you have 3 opportunities to change your Power Infusion class!"

"What an amazing Demigod Artifact!"

"Truly a treasure left behind by the Little Yura brothers..."

Roger's eyes lit up.

Since there are a total of 3 chances.

Then there's no need to agonize over which one to choose!

Anyway, all the professions he has, except for "Ammunition Expert" which requires the support of Starship Titan or similar ships in the later stages.

The rest are all genuinely tough guy professions! Let's roll a random one!

"Magic Martial Balance: You have chosen the profession - Qi Master!"

"Power is being channeled... You now possess the power equivalent to a LV199 Qi Master (normal level without additional effects from Magic Martial Balance)!"

"Warning: Immortal-grade Qi Master possess extremely high 'Qi bonuses' to their class-related specialties, basic attacks, skills, and unique abilities. This means that even a casual action of yours can cause considerable damage. Please use this power with extreme caution..."

In a short while.

A surge of power rushed into Roger's body.

The data panel even displayed a snow-like screen effect! Roger couldn't clearly see his specific data after the injection.

But he was certain—

This is who I am now.

Suddenly, everything became a complete mess!...

"Won't the Job Levels after being infused with the Magic Martial Balance add to the normal level? In other words, although I have the strength of a level 199 Qi Master and related stat increases, my specialties and authority haven't increased accordingly..."

"The quality and quantity of Qi have changed significantly. Is this the power of a high-level Qi Master?"

"Furthermore, even low- Ring Feat will receive terrifying power boosts in the hands of high-level Qi Master... It seems that Qi Master undergo a significant qualitative change after breaking through Level 100!"

Carefully feel the constantly surging True Qi within your body.

Roger estimated that he now held at least two million units of Qi! That's what Qi Master is like.

A super late-game class.

Once you can survive to the later stages, your strength will increase exponentially! These two million units of Qi are stored in your body.

Although no discomfort occurred.

But Roger always felt an overwhelming sense of bloating, an urge to release!

"Let's try it out on a small scale first!"

A thought struck him.

He unearthed a long-forgotten specialty of Qi Master! The next second...

Roger's eyes, which were fixed on the Devil Fox Fortress, gleamed with a hazy white light!

"The Grandmaster's Wrathful Gaze!"...

Whew! Almost no sound.

Two beams of light, like incandescent searchlights, shot out from the back of his eyes.

all of a sudden.

It pierced through the seemingly indestructible outer shell of the Devil Fox Fortress! The angry white light struck the spot.

Two enormous, unhealable holes have appeared in the outer shell of the fortress!

Even more terrifying is...

The hole is still cracking open!

This scene may seem insignificant.

But Roger knew that its power must be considerable.

The only thing that surprised him was—

Roger found no trace of the devil near the hole!

His perception is very high.

But the Lord of Illusory Foxes is clearly a master in this field.

The Devil Fox Fortress is very good at shielding its senses.

As a result, Roger's perception could only reach its edge.

If it weren't for the Grandmaster's Wrathful Gaze as he ripped a hole in the fortress's outer shell...

Roger couldn't even see inside the fortress!

"Strangeness..."

"Shouldn't there be Devil Guard stationed there?"

"Could it be that those two handsome gazes didn't actually kill anyone?"

In order to 'sight people from inside the cave'.

Roger squinted his eyes tightly for a moment.

It can be done from beginning to end.

He didn't see any demons near the hole! Not to mention the expected bloodstains and corpses.

We didn't even see a shadow of the devils!

This greatly disappointed Roger.

He subconsciously lowered the altitude.

To get closer to the ground to use "Grandmaster's Wrathful Gaze".

But at this very moment...

A whole bunch of settlement data suddenly appeared on the data panel, as if it had gotten stuck!...

"Notification: You have killed 4771 demons using ' Grandmaster's Wrathful Gaze '... You have gained a large amount of XP!"

"You've penetrated both the outer defensive matrix and the core defensive barrier of the Devil's Fortress..."

"You shot through the Devil's Gate..."

"You pierced through 36 Sub-Plane of the ' Sea of Wrath '..."

"Warning: You have attracted the attention of all the demons in the Nine Layers of Purgatory!"

"You used Grandmaster's Wrathful Gaze to pierce more than half of the Sub-Plane of the ' Sea of Wrath,' achieving a new milestone: Shot Through Hell!"

"Your reputation (Sea of Wrath / Nine Layers of Purgatory) +200/60!"

"What?"

"They've pierced right through Hell?"

Roger was taken aback.

He touched his slightly burning eye sockets and eyelids.

Immediately sensing that it had bypassed the Devil Fox Fortress, it began to probe downwards—

As expected.

The next second.

He then saw that the "Grandmaster's Wrathful Gaze" had also pierced through the back of the Devil Fox Fortress!

Because the fortress was secretly heading towards the Devil's Gate (a Teleportation Gate to Purgatory).

Roger's cunning gaze pierced the gate perfectly! With the help of the Teleportation Gate...

Those two gazes, containing the life essence of quasi -Celestial God-level Qi Master, arrived in Purgatory with a thunderous roar!

Extremely high power boost.

Add to that the "Ten Years One Sword" calculation! This caused the Grandmaster's Wrathful Gaze to glare and pierce through the Plane Wall- Sub-Plane one breath! This is beyond terrifying! It's simply defying the heavens!

"Qi Master..."

"As expected, it's a super late-game class!"

"This power boost... wait, if even Grandmaster's Wrathful Gaze is this intense, why don't I try the ' Seven Points Spirit Bomb '?"

Roger felt a sudden itch in his heart.

It was as if a hand-rolled dumpling had been thrown, sending these treacherous and cunning devils back to purgatory.

But at this very moment...

A figure quickly appeared on the outskirts of the fortress.

It was A Zhong, the devil who had met Roger before.

A Zhong, covered in sweat but forcing himself to remain calm, flew towards Roger:

"Guardian..."

"Guardian!"

Roger turned to look at him.

He also squinted his eyes.

The latter trembled in fright.

Fortunately, this time...

There was no glint of light in those calm, unwavering eyes.

The devil secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he bowed respectfully and said:

"I bring with me the goodwill of Lord Phantom Fox and the Sea of Wrath..."

"Lord Phantom Fox said that he did not expect the internal conflicts in the Prime Material Plane to have escalated to this extent. The war between the two gods, Quinan and Mystra, is no longer a battlefield that we can intervene in..."

"Based on the principle of peaceful coexistence, we have decided to retreat to the Sea of Wrath and never set foot in the Prime Material Plane again..."

Roger almost laughed out loud, "Peaceful coexistence?"

"Yes!"

A Zhong's skin is ridiculously thick.

But he said without changing his expression:

"If our Lord Guardian doesn't believe in our resolve to defend peace, we can sign a contract. As everyone knows, we demons are the most law-abiding..."

Roger waved his hand:

"I gave you a chance, right before Qeonan was resurrected..."

A Zhong said with a smirk:

"For the sake of peace, we hope you can give us a second chance!"

"Oh, by the way, Lord Huanhu, to show his sincerity, had me bring this with me..."

As he spoke.

He respectfully presented a scroll-like object with both hands.

Roger took it casually.

"Hint: You have obtained the ' Purgatory Nine Bends Map ' (Rare Item)"

"The Purgatory Nine Bends Map (Rare Item): The only map of the Nine Layers of Purgatory on the Nine Great Planets."

This document records every inch of the Nine Layers of Purgatory's territory and its various regions.

You can infuse Extraordinary Strength into the Purgatory Nine Bends Map.

Then select the coordinates.

You can instantly travel to a certain territory in Purgatory.

Note: The Purgatory Nine Bends Map a key item for the ' Purgatory King Trial '. Obtaining it will unlock the trial, and the successful candidate will become the new Lord of Purgatory.

"Lord Phantom Fox has seen amazing talent and power in you."

He believes you have the potential to become the new Lord of Purgatory.

Therefore, this item is presented.

I hope you will accept this item.

Then let us go.

There's really no need for us to fight to the death.

As I said before.

You and our devil are so alike...

Perhaps we are indeed related by blood.

Or perhaps in another universe.

You are the ancestor of our demon race!

A Zhong, still all smiles, said:

"Please consider it!"

"I want to emphasize again that we can sacrifice so much for peace..."

He silently put away the "Purgatory Nine Bends Map".

Roger stopped laughing and joking.

He looked intently at A Zhong.

Suddenly, he said, "Willing to personally play the role of a lowly mouthpiece? You're the first devil I've ever seen. No wonder no one can see your true form..."

A Zhong looked at Roger with a blank expression:

What are you saying?

Roger chuckled, "Stop pretending, Lord of Illusory Foxes. I'm already surprised that something so important isn't a fake, but no matter what, you would never entrust the Nine-Bend Diagram to a mere follower..."

"I know a little about this thing; it's a rare object that can drive ordinary demons mad with desire!"

A Zhong immediately said with trepidation:

"I... I'm not..."

"How could I possibly be Lord Phantom Fox?"

I don't understand what you're saying!

Roger frowned.

A Zhong shuddered again.

Roger observed for a while.

It was flawless.

"They didn't manage to trick us out..."

"She's definitely not a cute little girl like Khunan..."

Roger was extremely unhappy.

The Devil Lord was indeed cunning and treacherous.

Although his Sixth Sense told him that A Zhong in front of him was probably just a cosplay of the Lord of Illusory Foxes.

But he had no evidence.

The devils knelt down too quickly.

Moreover, they immediately presented the supreme treasures of the Nine Layers of Purgatory as tribute.

This made it hard for Roger not to suspect a conspiracy.

However, the "Nine-Bend Diagram" is genuine.

He checked but found no mechanisms or traps.

Roger now possesses the discernment abilities of a Level 199 Qi Master.

It would be impossible for Lord of Illusory Foxes of the same level to set a trap on a rare object without being detected by him.

So it seems that only one possibility remains.

That means the Lord of Illusory Foxes is truly a coward! Perhaps the reason this guy has survived from the Rift of the Heavens War until now is because he has deeply grasped the essence of the Kneeling Clan—

As long as I kneel fast enough and offer enough tribute.

The enemy can't find a reason to kill me! That's roughly the idea.

Such behavior is certainly shameful.

But Roger had to admit it.

This is damn useful! For example, right now.

Faced with the devils' overwhelming sincerity.

Roger could only increase the intensity of his extortion.

Continue the war? That's fine too.

But the motivation to go to war has been greatly weakened! For Roger.

There must be a motive for murder.

Surely it couldn't be to eliminate evil? These demons have been holed up in the Sea of Wrath for who knows how many years, and together they haven't harmed many humans. They might even have killed quite a few demons in the Blood War Plains—

Evil is simply their very nature.

Before they take any formal action to invade the Prime Material Plane.

Roger could only point out minor flaws at most.

Regarding the intent to invade.

The other side also tried to appease them by offering a rare item of the "Nine-Bend Diagram" as tribute.

In addition, A Zhong, that devil, said something that, while shameful, was actually quite pleasant to hear.

Roger did indeed have a natural affinity for the devil.

His heart softened instantly...

"Etc!"

Just then.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, "Does the Lord of Illusory Foxes want me to become the Lord of Purgatory?"

A Zhong nodded and said, "That's true."

"However, if you don't have such aspirations, then the Nine-Bend Diagram is merely a strange object..."

Roger nodded.

He roughly figured out what the Lord of Illusory Foxes wanted to do—

This guy is using an open strategy.

They want to tie Roger to the chariot of Purgatory! Lord of Purgatory.

Possessing supreme authority over the Nine Layers of Purgatory.

They also hold the power of life and death over all the devils!

It sounds wonderful.

But behind this lies an astonishing burden.

Now it's just two stars guarding the planet.

Roger gradually felt that he was losing his strength.

Without the Queen's assistance.

He really didn't know how long they would be able to clean up this mess at Twin Stars!

If you add the filth of purgatory to that...

Roger can now work for others forever! But for the devils...

If Roger can pass the trial and become the Lord of Purgatory.

It's not necessarily a bad thing.

Demons have always worshipped the strong.

As long as it's strong enough.

What's wrong with finding a human to be the leader of the demons? That's probably what the Lord of Illusory Foxes was thinking.

It's obvious.

Roger's "Grandmaster's Wrathful Gaze" just now startled the Lord of Illusory Foxes.

This guy is using the pretense of paying tribute as a cover for investing!

I've figured out the key points.

Roger smiled and said, "The Lord of Purgatory is of no significance to me."

"But you're right, peace is the most important thing..."

"But you yourself know that peace comes at a price..."

A Zhong said, forcing a smile, "We are willing to pay the price for our previous recklessness..."

Roger readily agreed, "Then let's start with five Purgatory Artifact."

He was determined to ask for an exorbitant amount.

The purpose was to find out the bottom line of the Lord of Illusory Foxes.

They also managed to make a hefty profit.

But A Zhong only showed a sorrowful expression.

The next second.

But when he asked, "With five Purgatory Artifact, you're willing to let us go, cease your pursuit, stop being an enemy of the Sea of Wrath, and uphold the principle of peaceful coexistence?"

Roger was secretly surprised.

Judging by this situation...

The Lord of Illusory Foxes was actually willing to give up 5 Purgatory Artifact for free—

Wrong!

The key question is, does He really possess five Purgatory Artifact?...

"Impossible, right?"

"Only one or two items have appeared in the Abyss..."

Roger glanced at the "Eye of Abuluo" in his hand.

I couldn't help but have some doubts.

But the words had already been spoken.

Naturally, all he could do was pretend to be calm and nod in agreement.

Even if the Lord of Illusory Foxes didn't bring out anything else...

Roger had no intention of taking action against the devil for the time being.

Because this information appeared in the data column.

"Warning: The number of living beings dying on Quinan Star in the short term has exceeded the limit, and a small amount of 'Calamity Element' will soon be generated. If the Calamity Element reaches a certain level, the Calamity Goddess will descend..."

In Mystra.

Roger had witnessed the true nature of the Calamity Goddess.

It's a hassle.

Especially at this critical juncture.

The fragile Quinan Star, really cannot withstand any more setbacks.

Roger, who had been eagerly preparing to make dumplings, had to stop for the time being.

On the other side...

A Zhong quickly returned to the fortress.

Immediately afterwards.

He arrived at Roger's side with a prop and four ancient-looking, unrefined stones.

One of them.

It truly is Purgatory Artifact!...

"Tongue-Pulling Pliers"

"Tongue-Pulling Pliers: If you can pull out the tongue of any person of questionable character within your field of vision, the other party will suffer extremely high soul damage in the process."

Each successful tongue removal.

Furthermore, the level of the target whose tongue is pulled out must be at least 40 levels lower than the user's own level.

Your level +1.

Tongue plucked more than 50 times.

You will have the opportunity to obtain the 'Template: Purgatory Angel '.

Note: Misconduct refers to behavior that does not conform to the principles of the group or faction to which one belongs.

Take the devil as an example.

If a devil's style of doing things is righteous and chaotic.

That would satisfy the requirement of having one's tongue pulled out.

Note 2: After losing the Tongue-Pulling Pliers.

Previously earned levels will be lost.

"Purgatory Angel (Template): Hero Template".

The embodiment of the laws of purgatory.

They possess extremely strong combat abilities and the ability to control the laws of nature.

Features: Breakthroughs between realms below the level of gods can be achieved without any ritual.

That is, 'transcendent', 'ascension', and 'immortality' can all be directly achieved.

"Helicopter 199?"

"That's ruthless?"

Roger was taken aback.

This "Tongue-Pulling Pliers" seems ordinary.

It is far inferior to the "Eye of Abuluo".

But when paired with this "Purgatory Angel" template, it becomes incredibly powerful!

According to Roger's understanding.

As long as there is an initial momentum.

Then, by maintaining a 40-level difference and going around finding people to have their tongues pulled out, wouldn't that allow you to directly reach the level of a quasi-god? "No!"

"If it were that easy, then the Illusion Lord of Illusory Foxes wouldn't have given it away; it should be in the hands of a level 199 Greater Devil right now!"

Roger frowned.

They realized that the template for "Purgatory Angel" might be a bit strange.

Nevertheless.

This thing also has the potential to train Roger into a quickly-developed master! Of course.

Like the "Eye of Abuluo".

The Purgatory Artifact also has relevant requirements.

Requirement 1: Purgatory Faction

Requirement 2: Evil Faction

Although "Telepathic Fingers" can certainly lower some requirements.

But it's clearly not low either.

At present.

Roger silently put away the "Tongue-Pulling Pliers".

Their gaze fell upon the four stones.

Upon seeing this.

A Zhong hurriedly explained:

"A total of 6 Purgatory Artifact have appeared in the history of Purgatory. One of them is the Tongue-Pulling Pliers in your hand. The other 5 are not in the possession of Lord Phantom Fox."

"But we have records and tracking of the Purgatory Artifact."

"Their whereabouts are currently unknown, but they must exist in the Historical World of Purgatory. Their spacetime coordinates are recorded on these four Space-Time Stubborn Stone. If you wish to find the remaining Purgatory Artifact, you can activate these Space-Time Stubborn Stone..."

Roger listened.

I glanced at the data panel.

"Space-Time Stubborn Stone (Consumable): After activation."

You can enter a purgatory-like Historical World that does not belong to the present world.

The holder of the Space-Time Stubborn Stone has a special connection to the corresponding Purgatory Artifact.

Note: Collect all 4 Purgatory Artifact to summon the Purgatory Will and grant 1 wish.

"Are you trying to summon Divine Dragon here?"

Roger muttered a complaint to himself.

He accepted the stubborn stone without making a sound.

But his gaze instead sharpened:

"Do I need to remind you that clues and physical objects are two different things?"

A Zhong sighed and said, "This is the limit of what we can do."

"Lord Phantom Fox is willing to compensate for the difference in value with other treasures..."

"Here, this is our list of sincere offers."

As he spoke.

He produced an unusually long list of items.

Roger glanced at it.

The list contained a dazzling array of items from purgatory.

According to A Zhong.

They will return to purgatory.

He immediately dispatched apostles to deliver the items on the list to Roger's territory.

"The first time?"

Roger suddenly smiled.

The next second.

Under A Zhong's puzzled gaze.

Roger tore the list to shreds in an instant!

"No."

"You can leave now!"

He said it very firmly.

A Zhong hesitated for a moment.

In the end, he thanked her and left.

Very soon.

The Devil Fox Fortress drifted silently back into the Teleportation Gate with the ocean currents.

Ten seconds later.

The demons from purgatory all retreated behind the spatial rift.

Under the self-repair of the Plane Wall.

The fragile passage Prime Material Plane and purgatory gradually closed.

"Injured Wolf: Your servants have observed that all the demons from the Sea of Wrath have withdrawn from Quinan..."

"They're finally gone..."

"It almost got Corrosion!"

Watching the departing figure of the Devil Fox Fortress.

Roger broke out in a cold sweat.

Just now.

He did indeed consider accepting the list and receiving large sums of tribute from the devils.

But at that very moment...

Roger's extraordinary senses sounded the alarm again! He was still groggy.

He seemed to see a group of demonic apostles visiting the Clear Spring Sect!

They brought a large number of gifts and resources.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to pay tribute, they established trade relations with Roger's forces.

Gradually.

Purgatory's hand naturally reached into the Material Realm.

Under the onslaught of a massive amount of exquisite products from Purgatory.

The Clear Spring Sect was unknowingly assimilated and Corrosion!

The last part of the scene.

Roger even saw Clear Spring Mountain turn into a scorched hell! (On the data panel.)

"Sixth Sense: You realize that the Lord of Illusory Foxes is using ' Purgatory Incantation: Cling' on you and the Clear Spring Sect!"

"Climbing: The Purgatory Incantation created by the Lord of Illusory Foxes".

This refers to establishing an implicit Contract Studies relationship between the two parties through means such as tribute and bribery.

Long-term attachment can easily Corrosion the natural instincts of those being attached to and the forces associated with them.

Ultimately, they were assimilated into part of purgatory.

"We still need to be more careful when dealing with demons!"

Roger's eyes revealed a deep sense of apprehension.

This Lord of Illusory Foxes is very powerful.

Even after failing to attach themselves to someone, they can still endure the losses and retreat patiently.

This magnanimity surpassed that of most of the strong individuals Roger knew! He encountered such a person later.

He's bound to be a formidable opponent!

However, Roger wasn't worried.

Even the fiercest purgatory.

Opportunities to freely enter the Prime Material Plane like today are rare.

Just do your own thing.

Even if Roger and he were to meet again someday.

It's not certain who's more devilish!

After dealing with the uninvited guests from the Sea of Wrath.

The population around the Ancient Desolate Continent suddenly dwindled significantly.

The Spirit World Bridge has mostly disappeared.

The Sea God Realm gradually closed under the guidance of the White Turbid Serpent.

The spirits are at peace for now.

All that remained was an empty, desolate world.

Because of the extinction of the creatures under his command.

The power of the Plane Will's will also collapsed madly.

Roger saw it.

The violent, Ferocious Ape has degenerated into a bewildered little monkey.

The robust tortoise had shrunk to just its shell.

As for the butterfly that represents the Black Crystal Will.

It was reduced to nothing more than half a caterpillar-like body—

Quenan is back to life!

Ancient extinction!

Both of these events greatly suppressed the ever-awakening power of the Plane Will.

Because the process was too intense.

As a result, all three of these wills showed signs of collapse! On the contrary, the Totem Realm, which already had few believers to begin with, was also affected.

Because it's not much different from before.

Surprisingly, they are the ones maintaining the best condition among all the factions in the Four-Way War!

"I think someone needs to clean up this mess."

Roger pointed to the weakened Plane Will and spoke to Beya.

"Otherwise, it would affect the laws of the Prime Material Plane..."

Beya was taken aback.

Her attention was then drawn back from the Celestial God War.

After listening to Roger's words.

She looked directly at Roger:

"You're going to give me this benefit?"

Roger shook his head and said, "I don't have the ability to handle this."

Beya glanced at the White Turbid Serpent in the sky.

They flew over, seemingly reluctantly.

In an instant.

It has expanded into the marine domain.

Numerous symbols of power danced in her hands.

A pale blue divine radiance enveloped the already Fall Apart Sub-Plane.

The chaotic and violent aura gradually subsided.

Roger breathed a sigh of relief.

I glanced at the data panel.

"Notification: Beya has begun repairing the laws of the Sub-Plane..."

"Beya has obtained a large number of fragments of laws and authority... You can sense that the Ocean Overlord's strength has slightly increased again!"

Roger knew it very well.

Behind the near collapse of the Plane Will lies an opportunity for those Divine Kingdom Practitioner.

Just as the "creation" of the White Whale Star allowed White Wolf and others to become gods through extraordinary means.

The fragments of laws left behind by the struggle Plane Will -dimensions are enough to greatly benefit Divine Kingdom Practitioner like Beya.

If Roger were to absorb these fragments...

The White Turbid Serpent's strength will surely reach a new level.

But he would rather do this favor for Beya.

There are four reasons—

First.

In Roger's eyes, the White Turbid Serpent was merely a tool.

Those who are just tools don't deserve such good resources!

second.

They consumed these resources.

The laws of the White Turbid Serpent may be subject to the constraints of the Quinan Star.

Roger didn't want to waste such a powerful template as the Rootless God.

third.

Beya is his most important ally at present.

The thicker the thighs.

It feels better to hug him, doesn't it?...

fourth.

He didn't want Beya to keep watching the Celestial God War! Even though the woman had promised not to interfere.

But just as Roger was expelling the devil...

Her eyes were already burning with the desire to fight!

This woman.

They're just too competitive!

Roger had to get her away.

The reason was that he sensed that this Celestial God War was about to come to an end! At that time...

Something unexpected might happen! So he sent Beya over to clean up the mess.

He, however, stared intently at the strange phenomenon for a long time! Six minutes later.

Another crack appeared in the sky.

A shooting star streaked across the sky.

The intense light was almost blinding!

On the data panel.

"WARNING: The Celestial God Universe is about to disintegrate!"

"Khunan is fleeing in your direction..."

"They're here!"

Roger was energized.

Without realizing it.

He had already drawn his repaired Coiling Dragon Spear! Ready to stab someone!

A grounded, hardworking, and low-key first day!
