Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1376 - 1306: Six-Winged Fallen Angel

Next, the two new kings of the Demon Clan swiftly rushed towards the mountain summit, racing against time to catch up with Yun.

They hadn’t lost this purgatorial mountain race yet; the two teams were now in a fair competition.

Soon, they emerged from the Beautiful Forest and saw in the distance that ninety-degree ascending stone wall, with a suspended bridge path on each side.

"I wonder which path the God of Slaughter chose to ascend!" Spirit Demon stared at those two suspended paths, licking his lips with ill intent.

"We can only guess!" Heavenly Demon narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the two paths, and finally said, "Let’s choose the right one!"

After saying that, the two headed straight for the suspended bridge on the right side of the stone wall.

"You are outlaws, yet you dare to climb to the top?" Just as they stepped onto the suspended path, two angels flapped their wings, descending from the sky to block their way.

"Courting death!" Heavenly Demon sneered, drawing out a shiny hunting knife, and fiercely slashed at one of the angels.

"Bam~" The angel didn’t even have time to dodge and was directly split into two, dying instantly.

The other angel was shocked, but before it could react, Spirit Demon severed its pair of lethal wings.

In just a brief encounter, the two obstructing angels were directly killed!

Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon continued forward, soon encountering another pair of angels, but they were swiftly taken care of as well.

Their advance was far more efficient than Yun’s on the other side, almost like a crushing force, unstoppable and formidable.

Soon, Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon slaughtered all 28 angels and ascended the last step of the suspended path, where their view suddenly opened up.

The summit of Purgatory Mountain was a vast plain, veiled by a forest ahead, obscuring the sight of its deeper mysteries.

A clear river meandered out from the forest, petals of various colors floated on its surface, cascading down the cliff as a roaring waterfall.

Heavenly Demon sniffed the air, carefully tracing the direction of the river, and said, "There’s a pleasant fragrance wafting from upstream."

"Let’s follow this river inside then! The God of Slaughter is probably still killing angels below!" Spirit Demon snickered, striding to the riverbank, moving upstream, and rushing into the forest ahead.

Towering trees filled the forest, their trunks covered with moss, hanging vines from branches, tender green leaves adorned with dewdrops, colorful birds flying back and forth, chirping sweetly.

After advancing through the forest for a long time, a tall wall of trees appeared ahead, where every tree trunk was connected, with no gaps in between, lined up straight, extending endlessly to both sides.

Among this wall of trees, only the place where the river flowed out served as an entry point, though it was shrouded in a barrier, obscuring the view within.

Beside that entryway stood a person with three pairs of black wings, head lowered, eyes closed.

Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon exchanged a glance, quickly walking along the riverbank to the entryway, stopping in front of the person with three pairs of black wings.

This person resembled an angel, but his wings had a total of three pairs, making six in total, surpassing any angel they had encountered before. Moreover, all six wings were black, exuding a fallen and wicked aura.

"Another group has arrived at Eden." At this moment, the angel with three pairs of black wings suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon, and said, "I am The Guide [Fallen Angel, Satan], you’re both outlaws, daring to barge in here, aren’t you afraid to die?"

"Fallen Angel, Satan!" Hearing this name, Heavenly Demon’s eyebrows lifted slightly, he smiled faintly, and said, "I’ve heard the King of Hell mentioned you; you’re the six-winged angel expelled from Eden! You were once a powerful six-winged angel within Eden but were later stripped of your strength and banished, left to linger outside."

"King of Hell!" Fallen Angel, Satan shrank his pupils upon hearing the name, appearing very fearful. He scrutinized Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon for a few moments and continued, "I sense the breath of the Demon King on you two; you should have a deep connection with the King of Hell!"

"That’s right! We are here under orders from the King of Hell! Why don’t you let us pass?" Heavenly Demon nodded, speaking bluntly.

Fallen Angel, Satan twitched his lips slightly, saying sternly, "Since you’ve managed to come all the way here, I will naturally let you in; I don’t care who you are, I’m only responsible for guiding those who enter Eden and opening the entrance barrier. Of course, you can choose not to follow my guidance, or even break the barrier and enter Eden by force; you have the strength of the Divine Domain and can break the barrier yourselves."

After speaking, the Fallen Angel waved several hand seals towards the barrier at the entrance to Eden.

The barrier instantly cracked open a gap, allowing temporary access for people to come and go.

The Fallen Angel, Satan, stared at the gap in the barrier and said, "Next, I will give you some guidance. This is very important, and you must remember it. Once you enter Eden, you must first go left towards the Tree of Wisdom to steal a fruit to awaken your mind. Then proceed to the Wishing Well to state your wish for this journey. The Wishing Well will grant your wish and provide the next instruction. However, you are marked with sin, and once you enter Eden, any angel that sees you will attack, including even the terrifyingly powerful Ten-Winged Angels, and you won’t be able to hold out for long."

"That’s not something you need to worry about!" The Heavenly Demon chuckled, striding forward, intending to enter Eden.

Suddenly, as if recalling something, he turned back, stared at the Fallen Angel, Satan, and asked, "You just said you’re responsible for opening the barrier and guiding anyone entering Eden, does that mean you’ll help anyone regardless of who they are?"

"Of course!" The Fallen Angel, Satan, nodded.

"In that case," The Heavenly Demon flashed a bloodthirsty smile and said, "then you can go die!"

As his words fell, a hunting knife suddenly appeared in his hand, striking towards the Fallen Angel, Satan, like lightning!

This sudden assault came without warning. At one moment, the Heavenly Demon was amicably conversing with the Fallen Angel, Satan, and the next, he suddenly erupted in violence to kill!

Just as the Fallen Angel, Satan, was about to dodge, the demon god’s phantom behind the Spirit Demon suddenly emerged and forced its way into the Fallen Angel, Satan’s body.

The Fallen Angel, Satan’s body shuddered violently, his face twisted madly, showing signs of transforming into that demon god.

"Ah! You dare to harm me!" The Fallen Angel, Satan, shouted in fury, but his voice was shrill and painful, as if tormented by the demon god’s phantom.

The demon god’s phantom is the residual soul of the Spirit God, one of the demon gods from the Eternal Ancient Era of the Demon Realm. Against non-God Sealers, it is practically invincible. Once it invades a host, it parasitically drains the host’s strength and tortures their soul, far surpassing physical pain by a hundredfold.

The Fallen Angel, Satan, struggled ceaselessly, his three pairs of fallen wings flapped madly, striving to resist, but his strength had already been greatly weakened, posing no threat.

The Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon attacked him with all their might, pouring waves of divine domain power on him. Even with the indestructible body of a Six-Winged Angel, he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood repeatedly.

After a round of brutal and inhumane assaults, the Fallen Angel, Satan’s body crashed down, turning into a corpse.

At this moment, the Fallen Angel, Satan’s corpse wriggled, and the demon god’s phantom finally flew out.

It licked its lips, looking satisfied, returning to stand protectively behind the Spirit Demon like a Guardian God.

"Alright! We’ve silenced him. When the God of Slaughter arrives, he won’t get those few lines of guidance from him. Even if they force their way into Eden, they’ll be like a headless fly, not knowing what to do." The Heavenly Demon kicked the Fallen Angel, Satan’s corpse with a smile, turned, and strode into the gap in the barrier.

...

On the other side, Huang Yi finally slew all twenty-eight angels alone and climbed to the peak of Purgatory Mountain on the suspended plank road.

Looking back, the vista below Purgatory Mountain was completely unobstructed, like gazing down at the earth from outer space, making everything appear insignificant.

Huang Yi felt an illusion as if he stood at the highest point of the earth, at the world’s end!

From here, the cloud sea seemed like the ground, actually situated only halfway up Purgatory Mountain. There was still such a height below the cloud sea, where his teammates remained below the clouds.

Just now, through the leaderboard, he learned that the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon had already reached the summit ahead of him, advancing once again past his progress. He must go alone to catch up in progress, having no time to wait for his teammates.

Huang Yi took a deep breath, glanced around at the summit’s scenery, and soon fixed his gaze on the river.

That river clearly served as a directional environmental element, meant to remind newcomers to follow it against the current upstream.

Huang Yi immediately followed the river into the depths of the forest ahead.

After rushing through the forest for a while, he arrived before a wall of trees, stopping at an entrance.

A corpse lay on the ground, bearing three pairs of black wings, seemingly an angel but exuding a fallen aura.
