Heroes' Prison

Chapter 154 Sealing the Gap

And the one most likely to pose a threat to Bai Long Lake was, eight or nine times out of ten, the legs left behind by the Harbinger of Doomsday, Lucifer!

It was estimated that because Little White Cat had absorbed some of the Holy Aura, the strength of the sealing barrier had weakened, and Lucifer’s Legs were too furious, causing a wisp of aura to burst out of the barrier’s suppression and boil the entire Bai Long Lake. Those White Dragons probably left early with Little White Cat to avoid greater disaster.

Huang Yi quickly guessed the general situation.

"Instakill, you should leave here quickly. Lucifer’s Legs have suddenly become unruly, a burst of aura has escaped, nearly destroying Bai Long Lake, and now these legs are fully impacting the Holy Barrier. I am doing my best to suppress it, uncertain when it will calm down. For your safety, leave for the moment and return later when a real solution has been found." Right at that moment, the voice of the White Dragon King, slightly urgent, came up from the depths of Bai Long Lake. One could tell from its tone that it currently had to concentrate solely on suppressing Lucifer’s Legs.

Just as expected! Huang Yi’s heart sank. Lucifer’s Legs were like a ticking time bomb—sooner or later, they were bound to cause trouble if left here!

For him, the most sensible choice right now would be to leave quickly and deal with Lucifer’s Legs after finding a solution. However, he had an inescapable responsibility in this matter—he had previously asked Little White Cat to absorb the Holy Aura from the barrier first, leading to its weakened strength. Now that this problem had arisen, it would be somewhat irresponsible to just leave. Moreover, the White Dragon King had refined essence blood for him and showed kindness; he could not abandon Bai Long Lake at this critical moment.

"I have an inescapable responsibility in this matter, I’ll go down and take a look!" Huang Yi pondered for a moment and ultimately decided to stay. He approached the magic circle on the island and activated the magic circle.

The magic circle immediately emitted a bout of blue light, forming a thin film around Huang Yi that teleported him beneath the lake water, carrying him down.

The blue light barrier insulated him from the surrounding lake water, but the scorching aura still permeated the film, creating a steaming basket. At this time, Huang Yi had evolved into a White Dragon, possessing a strong Dragon Clan Physique and was not afraid of the temperature. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be steamed alive.

In the dark depths of the lake, those deep-sea creatures became somewhat restless, moving more rapidly, only showing parts of themselves without a clear view of their whole form. The whirlpools they created pulled on the blue circles around Huang Yi, making them waver unstable as they plunged into the lakebed.

...

Meanwhile, on the small island in the Giant Wood Forest, Little White Cat, Little Wang, and Little Dragon were anxiously watching the small pool. A column of steam rose from the pool, and even standing nearby, one could feel the heatwave washing over them.

Little White Cat looked anxious, tears welling up in her eyes, evoking pity. She tried several times to dive in but was firmly held back by Little Dragon, and Little Wang paced restlessly nearby, occasionally staring at the pool.

They were all waiting for Huang Yi to emerge safely. Bai Long Lake was now in the midst of a crisis; if the White Dragon King could no longer contain Lucifer’s Legs, the place would turn into a purgatory on earth, with no creature able to escape!

Meanwhile, other White Dragons had already fled Bai Long Lake, moving into the forest outside, observing the situation from afar. If anything went amiss, they would leave the area immediately. They were the hope of the White Dragon Clan’s future; as long as they could escape, the Bai Long Clan could continue to settle elsewhere!

...

At the same time, at the entrance to the 50th floor of the Tower of Pantheons, the Heavenly Group under Heavenly Dao was gathering here for pre-battle preparations. With five thousand people in neatly arranged order, standing by subdivision, they resembled a well-trained army.

"Sakura, if we take down the first BOSS tonight, your support rate might catch up with Instakill and Thunder God," said a man clad in white, with an Eastern Sword hanging at his waist, to a handsome and gentle-looking young boy inside the Tower of Pantheons.

The man who spoke was the leader of the Heavenly Group and also Japan’s world-renowned super player—Heavenly Dao, and the young boy with a delicate demeanor was Japan’s currently most dazzling rising star—Sakura.

"Indeed! I have always had great respect for Brother Instakill and Uncle Thunder God. I hope to catch up with them as soon as possible through this opportunity," Sakura said, extending a slender, pure white finger to tuck a lock of hair behind his ear, the movement filled with a feminine grace. He was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, his appearance strikingly fair and beautiful, his voice crisp and pleasant, just like a girl’s.

"Do your best! As far as I know, right now Thunder God is with Dao Feng’s team, preparing to compete for the world’s first kill of the first BOSS, simultaneously challenging us. As for Instakill, I have no idea what he’s up to at the moment..." Heavenly Dao said, turning his head to look toward the east, as though gazing at the distant Chinese Mainland.

Then, Heavenly Dao turned back, looked at the five thousand ready elite players, drew his Eastern Sword, and declared authoritatively, "I announce that the battle tonight officially begins!"

...

At this moment, Huang Yi had already submerged into the depths of the lake, arriving at the area where Lucifer’s legs were sealed.

The water here was even hotter, boiling and churning ceaselessly. Huang Yi hurriedly looked toward the inside of the barrier, where the two volcanoes formed by Lucifer’s legs were erupting violently with scorching magma, relentlessly assaulting the barrier. Each assault caused the barrier to shake violently, and the color of the barrier membrane turned scorched yellow, as if it were a piece of paper about to burn through at any moment. Inside the barrier, it was a world of magma, as if the real Doomsday had arrived, with red hot magma flowing everywhere. This was not ordinary magma, but rather the blood from Lucifer’s legs! Wherever this blood flowed, the land would turn into purgatory, lifeless, evolving into volcanoes!

Outside the barrier, the White Dragon King was concentrating hard, channeling energy into the middle of the barrier. A stream of white light continuously transferred from the White Dragon King to the inside of the barrier, steadying the trembling membrane and temporarily trapping the magma within.

"Just now, the barrier was breached, and a searing breath escaped! I have temporarily suppressed it," the White Dragon King said, seeing Huang Yi’s arrival and managing to speak in between.

Huang Yi looked closely at the barrier, and indeed, there was a small hole visible on it. Most of the energy transferred by the White Dragon King was converging on that area, vigorously repairing it. Meanwhile, the magma inside was also charging against the breach, the barrier membrane bulging outward as if about to burst, but each time it was forcibly pushed back by the White Dragon King.

"Instakill, it’s a critical moment now; you should escape quickly! I hope you can find a way to destroy Lucifer’s legs as soon as possible," urged the White Dragon King.

"I think I might already have a method," Huang Yi murmured, staring at the scorching magma within the barrier.

Afterward, he took out a golden box from his storage ring.
