Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1388 - 1318: The Final Stretch [Sky Ladder]

"Who has been here?" Yun suddenly became curious.

Judging from the progress on the leaderboard, the Heavenly Demon should be the first to break into Purgatory.

To enter the 300th level of the Tower of Pantheons from the 290th level, one needs a key, either by breaking the world record on the 290th level like the Heavenly Demon and getting a key directly, or by clearing each previous level like Yun and his team, gathering 299 fragments, and fusing them into a key.

However, these methods would leave a record on the leaderboard, making it impossible to conceal.

The Goddess Statue gently touched Yun’s head and said softly, "I cannot tell you his name directly, but you will meet him someday; the timing is uncertain, maybe in the next moment, or maybe a long time from now. In any case, don’t limit your view to The Second World, open up a bit and look at different places in the universe."

After speaking, the Goddess Statue released her hand, gently pushing Yun away and said, "Child, I cannot talk to you any longer, otherwise the Heaven Realm will notice something. Hurry to catch up with your teammates! I and your father will wait for you in the Heaven Realm, we will be reunited soon!"

Having said that, the Goddess Statue returned to being motionless, transforming into a normal statue.

Yun glanced at the statue, his mind full of questions, but eventually he had to swallow them down.

He turned around, soared into the sky, striving to catch up towards Thunder God and the others.

His Wings of the Sun Chaser could continuously absorb sunlight and convert it into movement speed, and they further increased the speed by 50% every minute while flying, making catching up very fast.

In no time, Yun caught up with Thunder God and the others and moved forward with them.

After flying for a while, endless demonic qi and holy light appeared again on the horizon, and a large group of angels were fiercely battling two dark shadows!

Those two dark shadows were the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon, who under the onslaught of many angels were already at the end of their tether, their flying bodies stumbled, seemingly ready to fall at any moment.

"The Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon are heading in this direction, it’s evident they are rushing towards that ultimate secret point!" Thunder God said.

At this moment, a red line appeared on the distant horizon, dividing Eden in half!

That red line seemed like some sort of boundary line, emitting a thick warning sense, admonishing outsiders to not cross it!

Soon, the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon rushed across that red line, their bodies suddenly trembled, plunged straight down, forced to land on the ground on the other side of the red line, as if flying was prohibited on that side of the line.

And those angels chasing them all stopped outside the red line, watching the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon on the other side, but dared not chase beyond it, as if there was something to fear.

"What exactly is that red line? Why does it make those angels so apprehensive?" Fuchan Fenrao wondered.

"The destination we’re heading to is inside that red line!" Thunder God said solemnly.

The Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon were wildly sprinting on the other side of the red line, quickly reaching an area with a large circle drawn on the ground, that circle was paved with stones, the patterns are ancient, like some sort of magic circle.

After the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon rushed into the giant circle the circle suddenly radiated brightly, as dazzling as the sun.

Then, a staircase suspended in mid-air emerged from the ground, extending all the way to the sky’s end, disappearing into a white cloud.

The staircase had no support, just extending out into the sky as if it were a Sky Ladder, not knowing where it leads, not knowing what is inside that cloud!

"That’s the ultimate secret of Purgatory!" Thunder God stared at the suspended staircase intently, "The map I just saw at the Wishing Well leads to the location of that staircase, that’s the ultimate secret of the entire Tower of Pantheons! To know the ultimate secret, we must climb that staircase, all the way to the white cloud!"

At this moment, the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon were already rushing onto the suspended staircase, climbing desperately, looking like ascending to heaven from afar!

"Quick! We must hurry and follow them, we can’t let them climb the staircase first!" Thunder God said anxiously.

The team pushed forward desperately, using all kinds of acceleration means frantically to rapidly shorten the distance.

Soon enough, they reached the group of waiting angels, and bravely charged past the red line!

The next moment, everyone was suddenly bound by a force, forcibly interrupting their flying state, and they were forced to land outside the red line.

"[System Prompt]: You have crossed the [Heaven’s Line], and can no longer use flight capability, only the Heaven-Sent Man can continue to advance on foot. The area inside the Heaven’s Line is filled with Divine Domain pressure, only those who meet any one of the following three conditions can survive inside: One, reach Divine Domain level; Two, become an Epic Hero; Three, be in the state of the Blessing of the God;"

This system prompt made everyone twitch at the corners of their mouths, feeling deep despair.

Only Divine Domain masters, or an Epic Hero, or those in the state of the Blessing of the God, can survive inside!

Yet, no one in their entire team met any of the conditions!

Yun had skills for leveling up, but those skills had been used up in the Seventh Challenge fighting alongside the Heavenly Demon for that male BOSS, and are now in cooldown.

Even if those skills could be used, they provided only 10 seconds of duration, which is obviously too short, unable to ensure Yun’s long-term survival inside.

"What to do? Are we going to fall just before the final stretch?" Poet’s sigh echoed through the live broadcast and reached the ears of countless viewers.

Audiences worldwide had watched the live broadcast for a whole day, following Yun and his team as they braved dangers to reach here, repeatedly averting crises only to be stopped at the last stretch!

The ultimate secret point of Purgatory is just ahead; as long as they climb that suspended staircase, but they can only watch the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon step by step ascend!

"Unfortunately, even though you have washed away the Seven Deadly Sins, you haven’t met the conditions to enter the red line!" At this point, an eight-winged angel landed beside the team, expressing regret.

"The highest level among you is only 295, far from Divine Domain level!" Another eight-winged angel landed and scanned the team with their gaze eventually falling on Yun who had the highest level.

At this moment, Yun suddenly pursed his lips and said, "At this point, I can only proceed alone."

Upon hearing this sentence, everyone was shocked, turning their heads to stare at him with surprise.

"Do you have a way?" Poet asked wide-eyed.
