Episode 16: Sea of Stars and Mist Chapter 31 – Purgatory Commander

The name ‘Res Crystal’ was one that Linley remembered very clearly.

Back when he was testing the ‘Earthwalking Technique’ in the Amethyst Mountain Range but fell into the hands of that purple beast. That purple beast had once announced its name and said that it was the Purgatory Commander. To deter Linley, but Linley didn’t even know about Purgatory. Didn’t understand the meaning of Purgatory Commander.

“Snort.” The countless black air currents were incredibly tough, completely binding Linley. Even though Linley was immensely powerful. The speed at which he shattered these black air currents wasn’t even close to his increasing speed.

“Kid, don’t move that drop of your Lord God’s power. It’s a waste if you use it.” That low, gentle voice continued.

Linley turned his head in surprise, and fortunately, those black air currents didn’t encircle Linley’s head as well, and Linley clearly saw that person wearing ancient-style armor. Standing in the void was the red-haired strong man holding a heavy hammer.

“What do you want?” Linley snorted. “What. Want to take control of my soul?”

“You even know this?” This Hantisai Castle Fortress Master said in astonishment.

Although the two of them were talking at the moment, this fortress lord had opened up his ‘God’s Domain’. The sound of their conversation was completely isolated. None of the other onlookers in the distance could see it.

“Come with me, we’ll talk again.” This fortress lord turned his head and unexpectedly flew towards the bottom.

“Follow him?” Linley was stunned.

Seeing that Linley didn’t move, the fortress lord looked back. Smiling faintly, he said, “With your Middle God Earth soul cultivation, you’re far from being a match for me. It’s easy for me to control you. There’s no need to play tricks with you.”

“What’s there, say it here all the same.” Linley said instead.

The fortress lord looked startled, then nodded with a smile, “Fine. Just listen to you.” For so many years, there hadn’t been many people who dared to talk to him like this. The fortress lord then had an empty conversation with Linley on this Hundyside Castle.

“First of all, introduce yourself. Me. Murth Bagshaw! Today’s Burgomaster of Handyside Castle.” This burgomaster had a small smile on his face.

This Burgomaster, too, was of the Bagshaw clan!

Linley also realized that this ‘burgomaster’, who fought with great bravado, spoke in a low, gentle voice, and his smile was also very kind. There wasn’t the slightest feeling of a rude hulk. Linley also responded, “Me. Linley.”

“Can you tell me, what is your relationship with Resh Jing? To have him make a soul defense artifact for you.” Fort Master ‘Moxie’ smiled faintly.

“Reis Jing. Making soul defense artifacts for me?” Linley was staggered.

“Isn’t that so?” Moxie smiled faintly. “I’ve heard about your battlefield achievements, being able to kill so many higher gods. Defeating ‘Paslow’, at least your soul defense must be strong. But you’re a Mediate God. How can your soul defense be that strong? The soul of a Mediate God. In terms of ‘quality’, it’s too much worse than an upper level god soul!”

“Right. I have a soul defense artifact, so what’s wrong with that?” Linley didn’t dare to say that he had a soul defense main divine artifact otherwise, no matter what. The ‘Moxie’ in front of him probably wouldn’t be able to hold back his greed.

“That’s right.” Mo Si smiled. “Soul Defense Artifact. Manufacturing is extremely difficult, to know that thing, first need to have an extremely high achievement of ‘soul’, the entire hell, can refine soul defense artifacts. There are also very few, and Resh Jing, is the one person who can refine a Soul Defense Artifact.”

“You were able to perform his signature stance ‘Amethyst Space’. It must have been imparted by him, so. I’d say that your Soul Defense Artifact was refined by him for you.” Mo Si said confidently.

Linley shook his head. Saying, “This gravity space of mine. Got taught by him. That’s not true, but a soul defense artifact. It wasn’t refined by him.”

“Oh?” Mo Si gave Linley an astonished look, then smiled, “I must say that your brat is quite mysterious. To have a body as strong as this is a very small number of people in the Four Divine Beast Families. There’s also the Soul Defense Artifact. It’s also related to the Resh Crystals ……”

Linley frowned.

What exactly was this Fortress Murth Lord trying to do by talking to himself so much? But from the looks of things, the other party didn’t seem to have murderous intentions.

Mo Si saw Linley’s expression. He couldn’t help but smile and comfort, “Kid. Don’t worry. It’s for the sake of the Resh Crystalline Ground. I won’t kill you either. It’s just that I feel that you kid is quite peculiar, and I’m just having a chat with you.”

Linley’s heart was relieved.

“I didn’t think that it was still the reason for that purple cub. Escaped.” Linley also trusted this Moxie Fortress Lord. After all, people’s strength far exceeded his own, and there was no need to tell these lies in order to kill him.

“Are you so sure that I’m a Mediate God?” Linley asked rhetorically.

“Haha ……” Mo Si burst out laughing, “Kid. Don’t say hell. Just look at the four supreme realms, the seven god realms. In terms of soul cultivation, they exceed me. At most ten! But even though they exceed me by a hair. It’s also impossible for them to completely conceal their strength in front of me.”

Linley was secretly astonished.

The four supreme realms and seven god realms, combined, had no more than ten that were stronger than him in terms of ‘soul’.

That meant that ……

In hell, this Moxie, in terms of souls, should be ranked in the top three! Hell had existed for an unknown number of billions of years. There are countless masters, and the position of ‘Shura’ has changed. How many strong people who were originally Shura retired.

Strong people like clouds!

This Mo Si, however, was able to rank in the top three in terms of souls, terrifying!

“Of course there is another possibility.” Mo Si laughed, “Unless you’re a Lord God! That’s what makes it possible to hide even me.” As he said that. That Mo Si also moved his mind, and the black air currents were all withdrawn.

Regaining his freedom, Linley also had a favorable impression of this Mo Si, “Fortress Master Mo Si, dare I ask, what is your relationship with Resh Jing?”

“Him?” A trace of confusion swept through Mo Si’s eyes, seeming to recall many things from the past, before his eyes froze. Sighing. “This Resh Jing. And me. Both are the Earth’s commanders in Purgatory.”

“Indeed!” Linley was 100% certain at this moment that Ganmontin’s so-called ‘Lord Commander’ was Moxie!

“What is Purgatory. And what does the Purgatory Commander represent?” Linley inquired suspiciously.

“What is Purgatory?” Mo Si gave Linley an astonished look. “You don’t even know that?” In Mo Si’s opinion. Linley had so many secrets hidden in his body. It was only right that he should know about Purgatory.

Still, Mo Si replied, “Purgatory. It’s a very special place in hell. There are many experts in there. Many abdicated Earth Shura, hidden worldly powerhouses, all enter the Purgatory …… there. There are too many masters!”

“What about the Purgatory Commander?” Linley then asked.

“There are a total of 108 commanders in Purgatory!” Moxie smiled.

“108 as well?” Linley was surprised.

“Right. There are 108 Shura in hell. There are 108 commanders within this purgatory, the earthly Shura in hell. It’s controlling a house. The Purgatory Commander, on the other hand, is in control of an army!” Mo Si said.

“Oh. That Shura. And the Purgatory Commander. Who’s more powerful?” Linley then asked.

Mo Si glanced at Linley, “Hell Shura and Purgatory Commander. It’s impossible to talk about who’s stronger, because being able to become a Shura. To be able to become a commander. Each one of them is close to reaching the peak of the Upper Deity. And they all have their own tricks, there are quite a few seven star demons in hell, but there are only ever so many Shura and Commander, and they often face challenges, and if they lose. Step aside, and the stronger ones take over!”

Linley couldn’t help but nod.

“But compared to that, the 108 Shura of Hell. It’s more peaceful. There aren’t too many challenges to controlling a prefecture. Whereas the Purgatory Commander is different, fighting and killing that’s a common occurrence.” Mo Si sighed.

Linley had to admit. Having come to Hell for such a long time. He’d seen quite a few Seven Star Demons as well. It was on Tearloe Island that he had seen many Seven Star Demons.

Generally speaking, an Earth God who could fuse four Law Mysteries was considered a Seven Star Demon.

But on top of that, there were also those who had fused five, and those who were close to fusing six.

Of course, there was also the highest fusion of six types of earth, the Great Perfection Realm.

Some people have ‘soul mutations’, some are divine beasts. Possessing natural divine abilities, there are strange races that also have natural abilities, there are strong people of the earth who possess master god artifacts, and there are strong people who possess the power of a master god ……

Those who can become ‘Hell Shura’ or ‘Purgatory Commander’. All of them were absolutely extraordinary.

“That’s how powerful my Earth Gravity Space is. If that purple cub casts it? And this is also its talent. It’s definitely ten or a hundred times stronger than me when it casts it out.” Linley had remembered that the entire Amethyst Mountain Range had a super-large ‘gravity space’ that was hundreds of thousands of miles in circumference.

After a conversation. Linley and Mo Si were on much better terms.

“Fortress Master Mo Si. I have one thing to ask for.” Linley said sincerely. The Talosha and Tilling duo were definitely being controlled by the soul control lands. This loss of autonomy was a life worse than death. Linley naturally wished to help Tarosha and Tilling. To free them. To be free.

“Oh. Say.” Moxie said.

“I have two friends. They’re both Hundred Victory. I reckon that should be controlled by the soul. I hope that you, Fortress Master Murth, can restore them to freedom.”

Mo Si murmured slightly.

Linley was a little apprehensive, this kind of soul seed controlling people was also a tactic of the other party. Making the other party give up, Linley was also hoping that the other party would give him face.

“Alright, tell me both of their names.” Mo Si still nodded.

“One is an upper level god called Tarosha. A Median God. Called Di Lin.” Linley said evenly.

Mo Si sighed, “Tarosha, I personally control the ground, he’s a very promising one, and that Di Lin, should be controlled by my men.” Mo Si paused slightly for a moment. “Don’t worry, when you return to Tearloe Island. You will realize that both of them have regained their freedom.”

“Fortress Lord Mo Si, I’m grateful.” Linley was truly somewhat grateful. If the other party didn’t give himself face. There was nothing one could do about it.

Mo Si smiled bashfully. There were quite a few seven star demons under his control, one Tarosha and one Tirin. He certainly didn’t care.

“Let’s go. It’s okay to go downstairs with me now.” Murth said.

Linley also smiled and followed Fortress Lord Murth as they flew together towards the bottom of this castle. At the moment, those broken places of the castle were being repaired by a large number of black-armored warriors transporting black stones. The speed was extremely fast.

“Teacher (Master)!” You Lai and a few others respectfully leaned over.

Fortress Lord Mox nodded in greeting, and then he and Linley continued to fly towards the bottom.

“What kind of character is this Linley?” You Lai and the others were puzzled, in their minds, their teacher was a true peak figure in hell, and he would treat Linley in such a friendly manner. It was unbelievable.

Linley and Fortress Lord Murth just flew towards the bottom. Suddenly.

“My lord, my lord!” An anxious voice rang out.

Linley turned his head to look and couldn’t help but frown, only to see that Gan Montin had unexpectedly flown over anxiously, still shouting ‘my lord’.

“Oh. Gan Mengting.” This Mo Si Fort Master recognized Gan Meng Ting at a glance. Spinning around, he said suspiciously. “Gan Montin. Where’s your Earth Wind God doppelganger?” This Gan Montin was also his old subordinate.

Gan Montin immediately bowed and saluted. Then he said angrily, “My lord. He’s the one who destroyed my wind divine doppelganger!” With that, he pointed angrily at Linley.

“En?” Fortress Lord Mirth frowned.

“How did you and Linley go up against each other?” Fortress Lord Mirth continued.

Gan Montin even said, “My lord, I discovered a soul-mutated Earth Median God. I immediately wanted to capture him and offer him to Your Excellency, but I didn’t realize that that person was a friend of Linley’s land. This Linley then made a move to directly destroy my Wind God detachment.”

“A soul-mutated Mediate God?” Fortress Lord Mirth’s eyes lit up.

The potential of a soul mutant was even higher than that of a divine beast.

“Fortress Lord Mirth, that soul-mutated Median God is my Earth brother.” Linley could only say.

“My lord. You must avenge your subordinate.” Gan Montin said evenly.

Fortress Lord Moxie’s brows furrowed in silence for a moment, and Linley and Gan Montin didn’t know what Fortress Lord Moxie was thinking for a moment.

“Go down!” Fortress Lord Mirth said indifferently.

Gan Montin was stunned, and his face couldn’t help but turn pale; he was well aware of Fortress Lord Mo Si’s temper. Gan Mengting immediately bowed respectfully, “Yes, my lord.” This Gan Mengting no longer dared to say a word. It directly retreated.

Linley secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortress Lord Moxie turned back to Linley. Smiling, he said, “Linley. Want to go to my first secret room. Would you like to see the floating shadows of the battlefield where the masters fought? Inside there, there’s a floating shadow of a master god striking!”
