Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1032 - 976: The Dean’s Projection

Sharp Sword smiled slightly, withdrew his gaze, and continued, "The last-ranked Divine Artifact is the first Divine Enthronement in The Second World and also a student of the Yellow Emperor, Barbarian God·Lietian’s artifact — the Sky-Splitting Spear! It’s also the first Divine Artifact in The Second World, the most ancient and long-lost, having disappeared since the Eternal Ancient Era. Throughout history, countless renowned demigods, adventurers, collectors, tomb robbers, and even powerhouses from other worlds have come to The Second World, using every method possible, digging three feet into the ground to search for this Divine Artifact, but it has never been found. Some even suspect it doesn’t exist anymore."

"The brilliance of a Divine Artifact cannot be buried by history," Huang Yi shook his head with a smile, taking a deep gulp of wine.

"Exactly! After all, it’s a Divine Artifact, not so easily destroyed by time," Dao Feng nodded in agreement, gently running his fingers over his Blade of the Sword Emperor, and said softly, "Now that player strength is increasing, more and more Divine Artifacts are being discovered. Among the Ten Great Artifacts, only the Magic Dragon Wings, Bloodstained Elegance, and Sky-Splitting Spear remain unaccounted for. With the arrival of the Heaven-Sent Era, I estimate they will soon appear!"

"They are indeed about to appear! After you five initiated the Heaven-Sent Era, those ancient items buried in the river of history will soon reveal themselves." At this moment, an old voice suddenly rang out.

The five of Huang Yi were startled, each tightening their grip on their Divine Artifacts, turning to look at the source of the voice.

They saw an elder with white hair and a youthful face suddenly manifest from the air. His face was full of kindness, his eyes shone with wisdom, and he was none other than the dean of Oskan Royal Academy!

"Dean, aren’t you in the river of time, fighting the avatars of the Seven Archdemons?" Huang Yi finally calmed down, setting down his weapon.

"This is not my true form, just one of my projections!" The dean smiled kindly, and his ancient eyes turned to look at the other four, "You all are impressive, having grown to such a level in such a short time, and you’ve all obtained Divine Artifacts. The Thunder God even acquired a finished Divine Artifact! Never in the history of The Second World has there been such geniuses as you, I’m very pleased."

The dean said, stepping forward to sit cross-legged with the five of Huang Yi, picking up a bottle of wine from the ground and drinking it nonchalantly as he said, "I heard you were talking about the Ten Great Artifacts! What Sharp Sword said was mostly correct, but there’s one mistake, and that’s about Barbarian God·Lietian’s artifact — the Sky-Splitting Spear! This Divine Artifact has indeed been missing for a long time, but a few years after you Heaven-Sent people arrived, I sensed its aura vaguely, as if it had already appeared, though I don’t know who holds it now."

"The Sky-Splitting Spear has appeared?" Sharp Sword was slightly stunned, as if shocked by this news, "This is the most mysterious Divine Artifact, with so many renowned figures in history failing to find its traces, yet it turns out someone has acquired it!"

"Indeed!" The dean nodded slightly, "Now, the truly undetermined artifacts are only the [Magic Dragon Wings] and [Bloodstained Elegance], unsure if they have fallen into the hands of the Demon Clan. Among them, the Magic Dragon Wings can no longer be considered a Divine Artifact. It was reversed into a Magic Instrument by the King of Hell during a Remote Ancient Era, and even if it appeared after being lost for so long, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to use it unless they’re from the Demon Clan! Reversing it back into a Divine Artifact is almost impossible, requiring an enormous amount of Divine Power to replace the Demonic Power within, which even I cannot achieve! Therefore, in the true sense, only nine Divine Artifacts remain." As the dean said this, his tone carried a hint of regret. He turned to Huang Yi, with anticipation, "However, Godslayer acquired a new Divine Instrument Embryo, and once it upgrades to a finished Divine Artifact, it can fill this vacancy, ensuring that our Second World still has ten Divine Artifacts."

Huang Yi smiled mysteriously without saying a word.

If the Magic Dragon Wings truly appeared, he could completely reverse it into a Divine Artifact!

The dean couldn’t do it, but he could, for he was Nefalem, a Child of God and Demon, mastering both abilities!

The Nefalem Skill he comprehended at level 270 was precisely [Reverse of Gods and Demons], allowing him to reverse Divine Power and Demonic Power by consuming a certain amount of Power of the Nefalem!

This ability is far superior to the King of Hell’s kind of reversal!

The so-called reversal by the King of Hell is merely using brute force to replace the power by occupying the nest with external Demonic Power, driving out the original Divine Power and taking its place. It’s like pouring out a cup of sugar water to fill it with salt water. This act not only severely depletes his own Demonic Power but is also one-sided. He only possesses Demonic Power, so he can only replace the Divine Power with Demonic Power, unable to reverse it back.

In contrast, Huang Yi’s reversal completely changes the nature of the power, rather than an outside force replacement. He can turn sugar into salt and vice versa, but it’s always that same cup of water. Moreover, it’s bi-directional; whether converting Divine Power to Demonic Power or vice versa, it can be done.

At this moment, Thunder God, caressing his Pillar of Sea God, said with some concern, "Dean, I deeply understand how powerful a Divine Artifact can be! Your battles with the Seven Archdemons must be difficult, right? The Seven Archdemons all have their Magic Instruments, they could completely crush you, right?"

The dean shook his head lightly, "The Magic Instruments of the Seven Archdemons are all with their main bodies, they haven’t taken them out! What their avatars use are just projections of those Magic Instruments, with limited power. But even so, their avatars still possess significant power. I have distinctly felt that this time, their avatars are joining forces for the first time in history to attack us, and they have become the most powerful they have ever been. Even though their avatars are limited, I can clearly feel that they are more powerful than ever! About thirty years ago, Divinr Marksman Ica was able to destroy one of Dark King Ukar’s avatars with an arrow when he was at the Heavenly Domain Level. But now, the King of Hell doesn’t even use the projection of the Hell Hammer, and yet his bare-handed avatar can kill a Demigod Powerhouse alone! If beings like him were to achieve Divine Enthronement and become deities, no ordinary deity could defeat him, only those exceptionally strong deities could possibly suppress him."

Listening to these words, Huang Yi and the other four were all filled with apprehension, quickly turning to look in the direction of the voice, preparing to act at any moment.

Thirty years ago, when the Deputy Dean, Divinr Marksman Ica was at the Heavenly Domain Level, he could shoot an avatar of Dark King Ukar into pieces with a single arrow. Now, the Queen of Agony, who is much weaker than the King of Hell, took six avatars to fight together. Each of them had only part of their power greatly diluted, yet even so, they were still extremely strong.

And the King of Hell is much stronger than the Queen of Agony!

The dean glanced at Huang Yi and his companions, his expression tensing, "Now, our only hope lies in you, the Heaven-Sent people. You must grow stronger as quickly as possible! The Oskan Royal Academy is barely holding on by the ancient power of the protective array passed down by our ancestors. In the future, the Oskan Royal Academy will gradually relinquish its leadership. Resisting the Seven Archdemons now depends on you!"

With that, the dean looked heavily at Huang Yi, who was gripping his Wrath of the Godslayer tightly, nodding resolutely, as if he was placing a heavy burden onto Huang Yi’s shoulders.

Huang Yi tightly held his Wrath of the Godslayer, nodding firmly. "I will do my best to ensure victory."

He could feel the intense responsibility resting upon him, knowing that countless lives depended on him, that countless eyes awaited his actions with hope.

"Huh? Something’s happening!" At that moment, the dean suddenly turned his head, staring into the distance, "The Seven Archdemons have sent their underlings so soon!"

Huang Yi and the other four felt a shiver, quickly turned to look towards the distant direction, ready to strike at any moment.

"I saw it through the Time of Georgia. The main body of that Divine Artifact is on the Red Star in the Starry Sky. Everywhere the Red Star can shine is within my sight!" the dean said, extending his withered hand with a gentle wave, and the air before them transformed instantly. The vision of the surroundings began to change, revealing a scene where the forces of the Seven Archdemons were rapidly approaching.

At this, the party prepared for the impending confrontation.
