Purgatory Artist
Chapter 573: Choice

Chapter 573: Choice

Lines of burning words quickly appeared in his mind:

[You’ve killed the soul-fusing experimental subject]

[Although this was due to Lucifer’s power restraining the monster, the final attack still came from you]

[Your ’Joy of Slaughter’ ability has been activated]

[From this monster’s death, you’ve obtained a large amount of twisted soul power, their quality is so high that your Soul Points are full]

[Congratulations!]

[You can now breakthrough to the next realm]

Liu Ping skimmed through it and couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Lucifer is a good person!

After fighting against the monster for so long, he gave me the final attack.

"Let’s go" he looked at Lucifer and said, "the entire hell is no longer safe, come with me, I’ll take you back to the Divine Kingdom..."

Lucifer put his violin down and hesitantly said: "I don’t have any money right now."

"I’ll pay for it, you don’t need to worry about that," Liu Ping proudly patted his chest and said.

He just noticed that Lucifer’s pants already had a few holes — — -

He’s such a powerful Saint Sound Master, but he ended up in such a sorry state, that shouldn’t be the case.

"You’re really willing to pay? Help me return to the Divine Kingdom? "

"Yes, that’s right, although you’re not wearing a shirt, you should at least change your pants."

"I need to correct you, it’s not that I like to be shirtless, it’s just that my last shirt was damaged during the battle."

"Alright! I’ll take care of your shirt as well! "Liu Ping said.

"— — -Why are you helping me like this?" Lucifer hesitantly asked.

"Because you restrained the monster and allowed me to attack at the very end," Liu Ping answered.

Lucifer immediately understood.

"You’ll get some benefits from killing it?" he asked.

"That’s right," Liu Ping admitted.

— — -I can start facing my Tribulation any moment and break through to the next realm.

What’s the next realm called again?

Origin realm!

I think that’s what it’s called.

I heard that this realm will lead to a relatively large breakthrough.

— — -This was all thanks to Lucifer restraining the monster just now, allowing me to obtain Soul Points.

"Alright, I’ll accept your help," Lucifer happily said.

"Turn back into a Card first, I’ll take you away right away," Liu Ping said.

Bam!

With a small noise, Lucifer disappeared.

A card quietly appeared. It depicted Lucifer with a pair of black wings on his back and tattered pants.

He landed on the card book and sensed it. He immediately discovered the Holy Candlestick.

"Ordinary people can’t use this candlestick," Lucifer immediately said in a pious tone.

"Omniscient and omnipotent Lord, are you there?"

"I’m here," God replied in a deep tone.

Lucifer apologized on the card, "I’m sorry, I still can’t afford it."

"Enough, child," said God. "Why talk of money at this time?"

「"You’re not talking about money anymore? This doesn’t seem like you. Ah, I remember now. This Mr. Liu Ping has initiated the sponsorship, so there’s no need to talk about money anymore. That’s why you said, ’What’s the point of talking about money now?’ Tsk tsk, you haven’t changed at all. "」 Gaia said slowly in a mocking tone.

God said nothing.

However, Lucifer’s voice sounded from the book, "Esteemed Lady, only holy souls can enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and holy souls —"

「"Must have a lot of money, right?" 」Gaia continued to mock him.

"No," God continued, "Wealth is the lowest form of ’power’. The more ’powerful’ a living being is, the more capable they are of ’giving’ and ’offering’, and the easier it is for them to ’reconcile’ with the past. They have no desires, no resentment, and no extravagant hopes of getting anything from others. Such a person can easily become a Saint."

「"There will always be people blinded by greed. In fact, most people are like that,"」 Gaia said.

"So wealth is the first dividing line — — some people become Saints from here, and some fall from here," God said.

「"Do you have any evidence?"」 Gaia asked.

"Look, this person who helped you find the eyeball is a Saint — — although he has a lot of wealth, he never thought of it as anything. Furthermore, he’s a liar — — but that doesn’t stop him from being a Saint," God said.

「"Anyway, you can’t justify your death escape" 」Gaia said.

God sighed.

Liu Ping quickly stepped forward and said, "Alright, both of you are right. But now, can you tell me where the eyeball is?"

"The souls you released earlier are still hovering in the air, you can ask them," God said.

Liu Ping looked up at the sky.

Translucent souls hovered in the main hall, all of them looking at him with a grateful expression.

"Everyone."

Liu Ping waved his hand at the souls: "Do you know of a particularly dark place — — where a pair of eyeballs is hidden?"

Among the souls, a male soul answered: "I know that place, it’s inside the fifth pillar from the left of the Grand Hall of Repentance. When I floated there, the eyeball told me that I would meet you and told me to tell you where it is."

"Where is the Grand Hall of Repentance?" Liu Ping asked.

"Go towards the back, through the Weighing, Punishing, and Settling Halls, the fourth one is there," God replied.

Liu Ping was about to move, but suddenly stopped.

He told the souls hovering in the air: "Don’t stay here, follow me"

Before the souls could say anything, a gust of wind suddenly appeared in the void of space.

The sound of the wind sounded like some sort of strange chewing, drifting around the entire Grand Hall.

Without hesitation, Liu Ping drew his Baina Blade and held it in front of his chest.

A second later.

A male voice came from the gust of wind:

"While I’m eating, no one is allowed to move."

Mouths full of sharp fangs appeared where the souls originally were, biting down on them.

Liu Ping quickly formed a hand seal.

Instantly.

It was as if all the souls were suddenly pulled, flying into his hand and being collected.

"Huh?"

A black humanoid entity descended and stood in front of Liu Ping.

The Nightmare King!

It had finally caught up to Liu Ping!

「 Such a unique soul, are you also a newcomer? 」 it observed Liu Ping and asked with interest.

Liu Ping casually drew a Card and threw it out.

Bam!

The Holy Candlestick released a holy glow that enveloped him.

That wasn’t all — — -

His aura suddenly burst out, as if it had materialized into a wall of wind, blowing everything in the hall away.

Lines of burning text silently appeared:

[You’ve chosen to break through to the next realm]

[The Heaven’s Tribulation is about to arrive]

[Attention!]

[The Law of Heaven and Earth cannot be avoided, you are about to face the Heaven’s Tribulation!]

[Counting down from three]

[Three]

[Two]

[One!]

Rumble rumble rumble — — -

The deafening sound of thunder echoed in the Grand Hall.

Intense wind blew.

Liu Ping raised his Baina Blade and muttered: "Lord of Nightmares?"

The Nightmare King replied: 「 Ah, seems like it would be quite a challenging dish — — indeed, I am the ultimate despair of all living beings, the master of nightmares, and I’m not one of those guys whose reputation is unwarranted. You being eaten by me is definitely an honor, don’t worry 」

Densely packed black arms emerged from the void and carefully touched the layer of holy light outside Liu Ping’s body.

Liu Ping waved his hand.

All the holy glow and the Heaven’s Tribulation in the air disappeared without a trace.

He had used ’special effects Artist’ to hide them all away.

That’s not all — — -

He looked down at the Baina Blade in his hand.

The blade also disappeared.

Following that, his entire body also disappeared without a trace.

Using the power of [Deception] and [Special Effects], everything related to him was hidden away in the void of space.

「 Interesting ... no, it’s not just interesting, they actually created such living beings ... how shocking 」 the Nightmare King commented.

Boom — — -

Arcs of lightning appeared all around the Grand Hall.

Liu Ping’s figure was hidden in the lightning. With an erratic movement technique, he gradually approached the Nightmare King.

" I’m going to kill you " he spoke.

The Nightmare King’s eyes widened.

How long has it been since I heard such bold words?

However ...

I’m not angry at all.

Within the endless flow of time, this is a very rare experience.

Almost no living being would dare to say such provocative words.

The Nightmare King even felt a sense of excitement that it hadn’t felt in a long time — — -

It took a stance on the spot and lowered its knees slightly. It looked like it was getting serious.

「 Come — — I can feel your fighting spirit, come, I will also let you feel true despair — — consider this a pre-meal workout 」

It excitedly declared.

On the other side.

After passing through three Grand Halls, the real Liu Ping had arrived at a Grand Hall called [Repentance].

It was the fifth pillar from the left.

He crouched down in front of the pillar, glanced around, and noticed something strange.

「" Here! That’s right! Right here! "」

Mother Nature Gaia’s voice came from the crimson ring.

"Shh — — while that guy is still being deceived, hurry up! " God also urged him.

Liu Ping moved the moving brick away.

There were two dark green eyeballs lying quietly inside.

Liu Ping waved his hand and put the eyeballs away.

「" That’s great, I will take away everything in Purgatory! That monster won’t get anything!" 」 Mother Nature Gaia declared.

" The prerequisite is that we immediately find the path to the Holy Kingdom," God replied.

Liu Ping’s eyes flashed as he looked at the two burning lines of text in the void of space:

[You’ve obtained the eyeballs of ’Mother Nature Gaia’]

[Do we return to fight, or continue forward to find the secret path to the Holy Kingdom?]

Liu Ping answered without hesitation:

"Of course we’re going to find the Holy Kingdom— — - we can fight at any time, wouldn’t it be better to fight after we’ve grown stronger?"

He swung his blade.

The invisible Tribulation Lightning in the void of space was destroyed by the blade.
