Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1393 - 1323: Slaying the Lingmo! A Mysterious Figure Appears!

Huang Yi’s Golden Holy Dragon’s strength far surpassed the Black Phoenix that had just completed its Nirvana; it was the strongest Golden Holy Dragon he had ever seen in his life.

Without paying some cost, he wouldn’t be able to withstand Huang Yi’s assault.

The Spirit Demon’s face revealed a tinge of pain, seeming to hesitate about something, but as Huang Yi rapidly approached from below, he finally made up his mind!

In the next moment, the Spirit Demon drew a large circle with the Demon Sword in his hand, solemnly uttering a spell—

"Sword Burst!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the sword burst into dazzling purple light, and the flames on it suddenly surged tenfold, with boundless Divine Artifact energy uncontrollably erupting.

With a loud "boom," the top third of the sword suddenly exploded, transforming into a mingled stream of red and black liquid.

The red was an ocean-like divine power.

The black was endless demonic qi.

This force was so powerful that it caused the entire Sky Ladder to tremble slightly.

Soon, the red and black liquid dripped onto the Spirit Demon’s demonic body, absorbed into his form.

His aura increased step by step, even the Heavenly Wind blowing against him swirled around him, controlled like a Demon God climbing up from Hell.

The Demon God Remnant Soul behind him also received a strong nourishment, its semi-transparent soul becoming more tangible with each movement, as if coming back to life.

Sword Burst is a technique performed at the cost of damaging the Demon Sword; each use shatters one-third of the sword, turning dense Divine Artifact material into pure strength. After three uses of Sword Burst, the sword ceases to exist.

At this moment, the Spirit Demon leisurely pointed the remaining two-thirds of the Demon Sword towards Huang Yi and calmly said, "God of Slaughter, I must admit, you are the strongest Heaven-sent enemy I’ve faced in my life. To gain power, I’ve damaged one-third of my Demon Sword; you should feel proud, but you will go no further!"

Huang Yi pressed his lips tightly, his face solemn. The Spirit Demon radiated an aura like a Heavenly God—had it been an ordinary demigod, they would have already been slain by the Spirit Demon.

Soon, Huang Yi was pushed forward again by the layers of support from the Little Dragon, the Greedy Demon Body, and the Barbarian God Simulacrum behind him, and launched the Wrath of the Godslayer filled with power!

The Spirit Demon fearlessly struck down with the Broken Sword.

"Boom~" The two Divine Artifacts clashed fiercely again, exploding with a violent shockwave that sent both men reeling backward.

The Spirit Demon stepped back lightly, ascending one more step.

Huang Yi’s recoil force was successively absorbed by the power of the Barbarian God Simulacrum, the Greedy Demon Body, and the Little Dragon’s super-strong Divine Domain, and he barely stabilized his body without stepping back.

At this moment, the Demon Sword’s blade pressed against the axe blade of the Wrath of the Godslayer, neither man withdrew his weapon, each exerting their utmost strength against the other, competing with the most primal force.

In this confrontation, skills had lost their effect.

The Spirit Demon had a Barrier supported by the Demon God Remnant Soul, allowing him to disregard all skills.

Huang Yi was a demigod expert, inherently immune to most skills; even those skills that could take effect would be greatly weakened in impact.

Thus, the two were locked in a stalemate, neither able to overpower the other.

The fierce Heavenly Wind continually swept downward, fueling the Spirit Demon’s arrogance and exacerbating Huang Yi’s energy consumption; continuing this stalemate was to Huang Yi’s disadvantage.

"God of Slaughter, give up! You can’t defeat me; I am the Tenth Great Demon King, not just any Demon Clan member. You have no chance of victory." The Spirit Demon said with ease, appearing relaxed. But deep down, he was extremely shocked. He had initially thought Huang Yi’s divine power would have been exhausted by now, but the battle continued, and Huang Yi still maintained a strong output of divine power, like a Void God. If it had been any other demonic demigod, they would have been worn out by Huang Yi already.

Huang Yi pressed his lips tightly, remaining silent, fully pressing the Wrath of the Godslayer towards the Spirit Demon.

But he had already used all his strength, and the Barbarian God Simulacrum, Heavenly Demon Body, and Little Dragon behind him had all transferred their power to him, yet he still couldn’t defeat the Spirit Demon.

To gain strength again, he could only use the Wings of Slaughter!

Each flap of the Wings of Slaughter can double his strength, with a maximum of 10 flaps, enhancing strength tenfold, but consuming a terrifying 100 points of the Power of the Nefalem!

Huang Yi had no other choice but to resort to this move!

But just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind the Spirit Demon!

This figure appeared without warning, as if born from thin air!

The figure’s silhouette was hazy, enveloped in layers of colorful light, indistinct and dreamlike, as though unreal, silently appearing beside the Black Phoenix behind the Spirit Demon.

No one could have imagined that, within the Sky Ladder, besides Huang Yi, the Heavenly Demon, and the Spirit Demon, there was actually a fourth person!

This newly emerged figure suddenly extended his palms, striking the Spirit Demon’s flank!

A dreamlike ripple instantly rippled out from the side of the Spirit Demon, pushing against his body.

The Spirit Demon was in a critical moment of clashing with Huang Yi, and this sneak attack directly broke the balance. His body could no longer maintain equilibrium, and he staggered, falling towards one side of the Sky Ladder.

The Spirit Demon quickly adjusted his strength, trying to stabilize his body, but Huang Yi suddenly withdrew the Wrath of the Godslayer!

At this moment, the Spirit Demon’s power hit empty air, and his body surged downwards towards the steps.

Facing unexpected changes one after another, the Spirit Demon, even with his strong body coordination, couldn’t control his body anymore, stumbling and stepping down the Sky Ladder!

"Boom~" A red-purple lightning instantly struck down from the sky, hitting the Spirit Demon’s head!

The Spirit Demon’s body shivered, his eyes opened wide, full of unwillingness, and the breath of life vanished completely.

He struggled to turn his head, wanting to see who was sneak attacking him from behind, but his head no longer had the strength to turn back.

That red lightning, was the Heaven’s Punishment of certain death. He had just taken a step down the Sky Ladder, violating the rule that the Ladder could only ascend and not descend, leading to inevitable death!

With the Spirit Demon’s death, he instantly left the Void Dimension, reappeared from thin air, and fell powerlessly off the Sky Ladder.

From beyond the red line, and among the billions of spectators worldwide, they only saw a corpse suddenly appear in the void, falling powerless from the Sky Ladder, tracing a tragic trajectory.

Fuchan Fenrao’s eyes were the sharpest, immediately recognizing the falling corpse as the Spirit Demon, and cheered in ecstasy: "That’s the Spirit Demon! The Spirit Demon is dead! He was killed by the God of Slaughter in the Void Dimension!"

"The God of Slaughter won!"

"The God of Slaughter has slain the Spirit Demon!"

"The God of Slaughter truly is the strongest!"

For a moment, spectators all over the world exclaimed in amazement!

Although they hadn’t witnessed the events in the Void Dimension just now, this result clearly indicated that Huang Yi had achieved victory, while the Spirit Demon had paid with his life.

After advancing to the Divine Domain level, Huang Yi’s power indeed surged, even slaying the Tenth Great Demon King!

At the public television walls in the plazas, crowds erupted with excitement, countless people cheered, clapped, and hugged, as if their national team had scored a goal in the World Cup!

On the forums, countless players posted to celebrate, the front page instantly flooded with this major news!

The institutions publishing the master rankings quickly rewrote the rankings, demoting Spirit Demon, originally the world’s second, to third, while Huang Yi was promoted to second!

Now only ahead of him is the world’s number one master, the first Heaven-Sent Demon King in the world, the first Divine Domain player in the world, the only Heaven-Sent Man owning a finished Magic Instrument in the world—Heavenly Demon!

The strength comparison between the two remains a mystery, but soon, Huang Yi will catch up and have an ultimate battle with the Heavenly Demon.

The true world’s number one master will also emerge in that battle!

...

At this moment, Huang Yi was still in the Void Dimension, staring blankly at the hazy figure ahead of him.

This Sky Ladder can only be climbed by players, and as far as he knew, he, the Spirit Demon, and the Heavenly Demon were the only three players currently in the Sky Ladder. How did this person appear?

Moreover, this hazy figure was very unfamiliar, unlike any known Super First-Class master in the world. It was the first time Huang Yi had seen this person.

"Who are you?" Huang Yi asked, staring at the person.

The person’s face was obscured by colorful light, only a pair of eyes and a mouth faintly visible, seemingly a woman.

"It was Dao Feng who asked me to help you." She stared at Huang Yi, a slight smile playing at her lips, her voice ethereal, with a faint echo as if coming from another world.

Dao Feng!

Hearing this familiar name, Huang Yi was momentarily stunned.

Dao Feng had already gone to the Third World and sparked a huge sensation, being hunted by the top-level forces in the Third World. After the Second World was refined into the Void Furnace by the Demon Clan, Dao Feng was isolated outside, unable to participate in Huang Yi’s world-saving mission, but he posted in the forum, stating he would fully support saving the Second World.

What really is the relationship between Dao Feng and this woman? How did she silently enter Purgatory and appear on the Sky Ladder?

Many questions arose in Huang Yi’s mind, but before he could inquire, the woman’s figure quickly faded and eventually disappeared, as if she were just a dream and not reality.

Huang Yi’s eyes were again empty ahead, with only the Heavenly Demon climbing rapidly towards the top, getting closer and closer to the white cloud at the finish.

No one else stood in their way anymore.
