Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1778 - 1698: Shadow Demon

Before the divinity is shattered, deities are immortal and undying. No matter how their bodies are destroyed, they can still be resurrected.

But once the divinity is shattered, they truly die, and all the divine privileges vanish.

Huang Yi glanced at the broken divinity in his hand and quickly put it away.

This item is still very useful, especially in the Mortal Realm. Experts below the Divine Domain level using it can acquire the ability of the "Void God Battle Body;" those seeking Divine Enthronement can use it to ensure success; the Creator Ancestral Spirits can instantly replenish all their power without a prolonged slumber...

The death of Xuanwu Xiong made the Demon Gods under the Barbarian God more sober, their expressions turning even more serious.

This battle genuinely results in death. The Dead Star no longer allows them to be easily manipulated as before. Huang Yi now has a group of undying allies who can counterattack their personnel.

Seeing the reaction of the Demon Gods, Huang Yi couldn’t help but continue persuading, "Have you thought it through? Continuing to fight will only lead you to follow Xuanwu Xiong’s path, while my allies have the protection of the Rule of Death, immortal and undying. Why risk your lives for the Barbarian God? Wouldn’t it be better to return to your own Divine Nations and live freely?"

"Hmph! Arrogant words! Everyone, attack them with all your strength. Don’t blame me for being ruthless if you hold back!" The Barbarian God shouted sternly, increasing the intensity of his attacks, instantly sending several Demon Gods from Huang Yi’s side flying.

His threat was quite intimidating, and in an instant, the Demon Gods all increased the intensity of their attacks, completely putting the fourteen Demon Gods at a disadvantage.

Before Huang Yi truly pardoned the death of deities, they did not want to break ties with the Barbarian God. Thus, they could only adopt this delaying tactic and continue to watch, waiting to see Huang Yi’s next move.

The Barbarian God, intending to kill one as a warning to others, immediately targeted the weakest Demon God on Huang Yi’s side—Hunter Shadow·Strix, smiling gruesomely, and wielded six Divine Artifacts, charging aggressively.

Hunter Shadow·Strix’s palm trembled, manifesting a blood-red greatsword with divine power, quickly raising it to block the Barbarian God.

The Barbarian God smiled indifferently, casually wielding an axe, and struck down on the greatsword.

"Crack!" The axe instantly shattered the greatsword, its momentum unabated, heavily striking Hunter Shadow·Strix’s chest, carving a long wound.

"Roar!" Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua roared, rushing over to aid Hunter Shadow·Strix in resisting the Barbarian God.

"Roar!" Suddenly, an identical dragon roar echoed, as a giant dragon identical to Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua, charged toward it.

At that moment, it was as if a massive water surface appeared between heaven and earth, with Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua colliding against his reflection.

"Boom!" He flew far away, while the "reflection" of Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua remained steadfastly in place.

"Be careful, it’s the Shadow Demon, who was already a Main God expert in my era!" Celestial God - Huanyuan quickly reminded.

Shadow Demon!

Hearing these words, Huang Yi’s heart stirred, for he was indeed the father of the King of Reflections in Heroes’ Prison Cell No. 4.

Back then, Shadow Demon and Night Devil Goddess, under Death God’s secret support, combined to produce the Son of Demon, the King of Reflections. Yet, they were not hunted by the Hordes of Demons and continued to live well in the Demon Realm.

It is estimated that after the King of Reflections was captured by Death God and thrown into Heroes’ Prison, this couple harbored a rebellious heart against Death God. Previously, they were intimidated by Death God’s residual majesty and dared not do anything to the Dead Star.

But after the news of Death God’s demise came, they lost their concerns, readily allied with the Barbarian God, immediately seeking revenge on Death God’s Temple, aiming to break the Heroes’ Prison of the Dead Star and rescue the King of Reflections.

"Shadow Demon, I have already released your child, the King of Reflections!" Huang Yi shouted loudly.

"Huh? Where is he?" Shadow Demon was indeed drawn by his words, turning to look over, yet still maintaining the appearance of Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua.

"I released him at the request of the Underworld King. If you’re seeking your child, you should go to the Underworld, not the Dead Star."

"The Underworld... Hmph! How could I easily go to the Underworld? Do you want me to die and go to the Underworld?" Shadow Demon exclaimed angrily, continuing to attack Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua.

"Fine then, I’ll play with you in person!" As Huang Yi spoke, he immediately charged out from the Barrier of the Dead Star, holding the Reaper’s Scythe and standing in front of Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua, as if the Death God had descended.

Now his strength is roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary Main God, but with the Supreme God Instrument, the Reaper’s Scythe in hand, his power was greatly enhanced, fully capable of battling an old-school Main God like Shadow Demon.

"Ye Konghua, this is your Hengjiang Lock." His palm flicked, retrieving a chain from the storage ring and tossing it to Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua, the same Divine Object the Yellow Emperor used to seal him back then.

Before when Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua achieved Divine Enthronement, he did not bring this Hengjiang Lock up, otherwise, the Deification Thunder Tribulation would be exceptionally fierce.

Upon reaching the Heaven Realm, with abundant resources and materials for Divine Artifacts not difficult to gather, crafting a Divine Artifact isn’t difficult.

However, these fourteen Demon Gods had just achieved Divine Enthronement and hadn’t had time to find materials to craft a Divine Artifact, having to fight barehanded.

"Roar!" Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua excitedly let out a dragon roar, immediately catching the Hengjiang Lock with his claws, wrapping it around his claws as a chain-like Divine Artifact, forcefully lashing at a Demon God.

"You think you can fight me without summoning the Tyrant?" Shadow Demon sneered, instantly transforming into Huang Yi’s form, also holding a Reaper’s Scythe, and charged.

Huang Yi did not dodge or evade, immediately brandishing the Reaper’s Scythe, directly sweeping at Shadow Demon.

"Boom!" The two Reaper’s Scythes collided, and the one manifested by Shadow Demon instantly shattered, his body also shaken back a distance.

Huang Yi was also pushed back by this powerful impact, but the Reaper’s Scythe in his hand surged with abundant energy, stabilizing his body without any serious harm.

If it were the peak period King of Reflections, Huang Yi would not be an opponent, for after all, that is the Son of Demon, whose strength surpasses that of Shadow Demon, his father, probably comparable to the top-tier Main God like the Barbarian God.

But Shadow Demon is not the King of Reflections, although their techniques are quite similar, clearly weaker.

The King of Reflections can always mirror anyone who sees him perfectly, whereas Shadow Demon needs time to transform into his opponent’s appearance, unable to mimic a thousand faces.

"Ah!" At this moment, a scream was heard in the distance!

The head of Hunter Shadow·Strix was unexpectedly torn off by the Barbarian God. The Barbarian God reached a hand into the head, retrieving a blood-stained brilliant crystal.

This scene was exactly the same as when Huang Yi killed Xuanwu Xiong earlier!

——

Tomorrow, I’m going to sweep the graves early, so I must rest early and rise early. Only two thousand words for now. (Because on the first day of Qing Ming Festival, there are some taboos in this mountain village, so I’ll be sweeping the graves a day earlier. I haven’t been back to sweep the graves in many years; this return to hide away for writing is a rare opportunity, so I’m going to pay respects to the ancestors.)
