Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1375 - 1305: Suspended Cliff Path

Chapter 1305 Skywalk

Huang Yi immediately took out the heart he had obtained earlier and placed it expectantly next to the male heart, holding his breath.

When the two hearts touched, they instantly emitted a dazzling blue and pink glow, starting to soften and fuse. The blue and pink lights also merged, transforming into a dazzling divine light that illuminated the space brilliantly, as if a miracle had occurred!

"Thump thump thump~" A rhythmic thumping sound suddenly came from within the light, causing the whole ground to tremble slightly.

When the divine light dissipated, only a bloody heart remained in Huang Yi’s palm, continuously expanding and contracting, beating powerfully.

He could completely feel the immense vitality coursing through the heart in his hand, it seemed like it would beat forever, unstoppable by any means.

He eagerly looked at the attributes of this brand-new heart—

[Heart of the Pure Realm] (SS-level, Functional Treasure)

A heart completely purified in Purgatory, without a trace of impurity, flawless. Install this heart in a fresh corpse, and the corpse will revive, losing its autonomous consciousness and fully obeying your instructions. This item cannot be used on a player’s corpse.

SS-level!

When Huang Yi saw the item’s level, he was greatly surprised!

S-level treasures are already quite rare; his Eye of Time and Eye of the Underworld were acquired by using the two S-level treasures, Tears of Time and Tears of the Underworld King. Even the incredibly precious God Crystal Stone is only S-level.

Yet, after the hearts of the two bosses at the seventh challenge fused, they produced an SS-level treasure!

So far, Huang Yi had only obtained one SS-level treasure, which was the broken divinity he received after slaying the Harbinger of Doomsday.

The Harbinger of Doomsday was once a deity, later falling and becoming a false god. Though his divinity is broken, it’s still classified as SS-level.

Huang Yi has already absorbed the divinity into his body, but to this day, the refinement progress is still only 1%. It’s estimated that only after reaching the Divine Domain level will he be able to speed up the refinement process. Once completely refined, he will possess the [Void God Battle Body].

Compared to the broken divinity, the Heart of the Pure Realm can be used immediately. If he encounters a corpse in the future, he can just insert this heart, and the corpse will revive and obey his command.

There are no power restrictions on this corpse. If Huang Yi encounters the body of a Void God, he only needs to place the Heart of the Pure Realm inside, and the Void God will become his loyal servant!

However, this heart cannot be used on player corpses, only on NPCs.

But that’s not an issue since Huang Yi’s power is already among the top tier of players; no player’s corpse is worth controlling.

From now on, he possessed another deadly weapon, and his hidden strength leaped forward once more.

Huang Yi calmed his excited mind, put away the Heart of the Pure Realm, and looked back in the direction of the seventh challenge.

The clone he left at the seventh challenge probably wouldn’t hold off the Heavenly Demon for long. It would quickly defeat the clone and catch up again, so he needed to hurry and climb to the mountain peak.

Besides, who knows what other hardships await at the peak? He was only leading; he hadn’t secured the final victory yet.

After a period of rapid progress, Huang Yi saw the final mountain wall ahead, with the top of Purgatory Mountain just above!

The mountain wall was extremely steep, almost vertical, with a waterfall flowing down like a white ribbon. Due to the significant drop, the water crashed onto the ground with a thunderous boom.

On the left and right sides of the mountain wall, there were two skywalks winding toward the summit, narrow and treacherous, where any misstep would send one plummeting into the abyss.

Huang Yi chose the left skywalk without hesitation and began his ascent rapidly.

"How dare a condemned soul like you attempt to reach the summit?" a sharp voice suddenly rang out.

In the air above the skywalk, two figures suddenly descended.

These two figures, with white wings spreading out and holy light emanating from their bodies, wielded a crystal spear and a golden sword, their aura surging, clearly resembling angels.

The two angels landed directly on the skywalk ahead of Huang Yi, crossing their crystal spear and golden sword to block his path.

"Condemned soul?" Huang Yi pondered these words, suddenly remembering the "sin" character on his forehead!

He had washed away six of the deadly sins, but the fifth sin, Greed, remained, leaving the character for sin still on his forehead!

This was probably what the angels referred to by a "condemned soul"!

"I must reach the summit!" Huang Yi insisted without backing down.

"Then you’ll have to kill these twenty-eight angels first!" one angel said, pointing back at the elevated skywalk.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Suddenly, pairs of winged angels descended rapidly from the direction of the mountaintop, landing one after another on the suspended walkway behind, their golden eyes glaring sharply at Huang Yi, their weapons gleaming coldly in their hands.

To reach the summit, I must break through their blockade!

No choice, I can only fight!

Huang Yi flipped his hand, immediately pulling out the Wrath of the Godslayer, and directly slashed at the two angels blocking the way.

"Clang~" One angel horizontally raised his Golden Sword to block the downward slash of the Wrath of the Godslayer but was still forced back a few steps by the surge of power.

The angel’s expression shifted in surprise, saying, "Such strong power! No wonder you’ve made it this far, but you’ll go no further!"

With that, the angel’s Golden Sword burst into dazzling Holy Light, accompanied by ethereal chants from a Saintess, sacred notes filled the surroundings, and a solemn majestic aura surged from his body...

Next, Huang Yi and the two angels fiercely fought on the narrow, perilous suspended walkway. The two angels were formidable and had the flight capability, occasionally flying up to dodge Huang Yi’s attacks.

Meanwhile, Huang Yi, unable to fly in Purgatory, could only stand on the narrow suspended walkway, making limited attacks. If he wasn’t careful, he’d miss a step and plunge into the abyss below, ending in a shattered death.

Various battle lights and shockwaves rippled out, and sounds of collisions and explosions echoed ceaselessly, as three figures darted back and forth, turning into fleeting phantoms, swiftly criss-crossing...

"Slaying God’s Curse!" Huang Yi uttered a skill incantation, and the Wrath of the Godslayer in his hand surged with bloodlight, its engravings turning blood-red, oozing two drops of blood that flew into the two angels’ bodies, taking immediate effect.

In an instant, the two angels lost their senses, attacking each other with abandon, Golden Swords and Crystal Spears clashing, risking life for life.

Huang Yi’s body flashed, dashing to one angel’s side, bringing the Wrath of the Godslayer down, tracing a path, slicing at the base of that angel’s wing!

"Ah~" The angel screamed as the wing was cut off, falling to the ground, golden blood spraying from its back.

Before dying, this angel thrust its weapon with all its might into the other angel’s chest, the other angel spat out a mouthful of blood, body flying far off the walkway, tumbling into the abyss, its wings no longer flapping.

Now, both angels were completely dead!

Huang Yi took a few breaths, wiped the blood off his face, and continued forward.

Just then, he suddenly received a system prompt—

"[System Prompt]: The clone BOSS you set at the Seventh Challenge has been slain by the [Heavenly Demon]."

The Heavenly Demon has cleared the Seventh Challenge!

Indeed, Huang Yi’s clone couldn’t hold on for too long!

Huang Yi felt a chill, a strong sense of crisis rising within him.

The power of the Heavenly Demon far exceeded his, and it would soon catch up. If it chose the left suspended walkway like he did, it would be a life-threatening danger!

However, if the Heavenly Demon chose the right suspended walkway, they would not meet, but with the Heavenly Demon’s strength, it would surely clear the angels on that path quicker and reach the summit first.

...

Elsewhere in the cave, the Heavenly Demon had already slain Huang Yi’s clone and set himself as the Seventh Challenge’s BOSS.

This became the only checkpoint in his team’s hands.

The first, second, third, fourth, and sixth stages ahead had all fallen to Huang Yi’s side.

At that moment, the air suddenly writhed violently, and a figure abruptly appeared!

This person was none other than Spirit Demon!

Seeing the Heavenly Demon, the two were both taken aback.

"What happened to you?" the Heavenly Demon asked, frowning.

"It’s that damn God of Slaughter!" Spirit Demon cursed, "Just as we were about to kill the BOSS, he suddenly turned into my shape, then used a sealing technique on me, trapping me in a dark, sunless space. I struggled hard to break through the space’s Barrier and return here." He glanced at the Heavenly Demon’s clone BOSS not far away, relaxing and smiling, "The BOSS of this level turned into you, so you must have ultimately killed the BOSS, right? That damn God of Slaughter should have been killed by you?"

"No, he stole the BOSS!" the Heavenly Demon replied with a livid face, shaking his head, and said solemnly, "I just killed his clone! He is now ahead of us, heading towards the mountaintop of Purgatory!"

"What? The BOSS was stolen by him?" Spirit Demon exclaimed in anger, "Damn it! The two BOSSes of the Seventh Challenge have both been taken by him! What a despicable rogue!"

"Let’s chase him! The King of Hell said that the mountaintop of Purgatory is Eden, and it won’t be easy to breakthrough, we still have a chance." The Heavenly Demon said, his body flickering, rushing straight towards the exit.
