Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1785 - 1705: Xuanhuang World! Poison Master and Divine Embryo!

"Now, the curse has transformed into a blessing!" Miyamoto Musashi smiled faintly, his eyes revealing the shadow of a Phoenix.

He used the power of the Phoenix Eye Pill to convert the curse of the Cursed Spear into a blessing, enhancing Huang Yi’s strength.

The next moment, Huang Yi once again manipulated his character, wielding the Wrath of the Godslayer with greater force, striking at the King of Hell.

"Boom!" The King of Hell was struck back by the axe, crashing into the barrier, oozing a trace of blood.

The surroundings remained hazy, no one had ever seen his true appearance, uncertain whether his expression was one of joy or worry at this moment.

"Your strength is formidable, but you can’t kill me!" the King of Hell said indifferently, wielding the Hell Hammer and Axe of Destruction, continuing the fierce battle with Huang Yi.

His health points were slowly decreasing, but he couldn’t die within 100 seconds, and no matter how much blood remained, he would immediately recover to full.

Afterward, another round of 100 seconds would begin, as long as Huang Yi couldn’t conclude the battle within those seconds, he would remain undying.

"Boom boom boom!" The two fought fiercely within the barrier, the impact waves inside had accumulated to the extreme, even a Void God entering here would be instantly crushed into pieces.

As their impact continued, the microcosm enveloping them drifted in the sea of clouds, flowing with thousands of big fish.

"Boom!" A giant fish collided with the microcosm barrier, immediately sending it flying away like hitting a balloon.

Huang Yi and the King of Hell were instantly disturbed, their bodies trembling violently.

Huang Yi flapped the Sun-Chasing Dragon’s Wings, instantly appearing behind the King of Hell, simultaneously slashing down the Slaughter Blade and Wrath of the Godslayer!

The King of Hell was instantly struck flying, crashing into the barrier, sending the microcosm barrier a distance away.

"Boom!" The next moment, another giant fish sent the microcosm flying again, Huang Yi tightly adhered to the barrier.

"Bang!" The Hell Hammer suddenly assaulted, pouring out furious energy, striking Huang Yi’s waist.

At this moment, 9 billion players saw nothing but chaos, unable to see the surrounding scene clearly, everywhere was turbulence, everywhere were silhouettes, only feeling limbs rapidly executing actions, their bodies fighting with their minds.

For the first time, they realized Huang Yi’s reaction speed was terrifying, every attack happened in a flash, they hadn’t even seen clearly, yet he’d fought the King of Hell many times.

If Huang Yi weren’t fighting, instead they controlled this body, even with the strongest attributes they couldn’t exert them, no matter how powerful the character, it requires a person to control it, their response speed too slow to unleash true combat power.

"Bang!" Just then, a sudden force exploded behind Huang Yi!

Huang Yi and the 9 billion players felt an irresistible distance, blood splattering, flying backward, crashing against the microcosm’s barrier.

Simultaneously, they felt a sharp pain and numbness at their backs, as if something penetrated their bodies.

"Bang!" Before having time to react, the Hell Hammer arrived in an instant, striking Huang Yi’s back, even his extremely high health points decreased by a notch.

Huang Yi quickly flapped the Wings of Protection, enveloping himself entirely, activating the active effect, invincible for 20 seconds.

Only then did he see the changes on the battlefield —

The microcosm had an extra person!

He was an old man with an immortal demeanor, wearing a pale green robe, green hair, green beard, even green eyes, exuding a poisonous green light.

This aura was very conflicting, clearly an immortal image, yet with green beard and hair, eyes sinister.

Just now, he had suddenly ambushed Huang Yi’s back, caught him off guard.

This microcosm had only so much space, Huang Yi’s powerful perception ability hadn’t sensed the old man’s presence before.

Perhaps before Huang Yi entered the microcosm, this old man had already been hiding here, awaiting the opportune moment to strike.

At this moment, despite being shielded by the Wings of Protection, Huang Yi distinctly sensed a power roaming within, bringing piercing pain, even interfering with weapon wielding, hindering flexible combat.

It seemed something inside was gnawing at his innards, attacking from within.

"You’ve been infected with my Xuanhuang Worm, you won’t live much longer," the old man stroked his green beard, said kindly, like a sect leader from a righteous immortal sect.

"Who are you?" Huang Yi asked in a deep voice, swinging the Slaughter Blade, blocking the King of Hell’s descending Axe of Destruction.

But inside, the roaming Xuanhuang Worm suddenly bit into his arm muscle, causing this swing to lose power halfway, struck solidly by the King of Hell, flying backward powerlessly.

"If you’d been to Xuanhuang World, you’d know me, but you have no opportunity now," said the green-haired, green-bearded old man, his body flashed, suddenly appearing behind Huang Yi, palm striking his lower back.

Huang Yi was once again struck flying, like a ball batted back and forth by the King of Hell and the old man.

Fortunately, having activated the active effect of the Wings of Protection, he hadn’t sustained real damage, otherwise, this round would certainly result in severe injury.

But this effect would soon end, then he surely couldn’t withstand the combined attack of the King of Hell and the old man.

"[System Prompt]: Your Integrator [Gentleman in the Dark] requests to control your character, do you agree? Once agreed, your character will temporarily be controlled by them, and you can reclaim control at any time."

At that moment, Huang Yi suddenly received a control request from a stranger.

This indicated that the stranger had a way to deal with the old man!

Huang Yi immediately chose "Yes"!

In the next moment, his character was handed over to the stranger named "Gentleman in the Dark".

"Master, long time no see." In the next moment, a familiar voice emerged from Huang Yi’s mouth.

As soon as they heard this voice, players around the world were instantly shocked —

This was the voice of the Spirit Demon!

This stranger named "Gentleman in the Dark" was actually the Spirit Demon!

And he even called the green-haired, green-bearded old man "Master", indicating they were in cahoots.

Almost instantly, everyone realized that this was a conspiracy —

The Spirit Demon intended to take this opportunity to destroy Huang Yi.

Everyone became anxious, praying that Huang Yi would quickly reclaim control and not let the Spirit Demon’s conspiracy succeed.

But Huang Yi remained unmoved, letting the Spirit Demon control his character.

He chose to trust.

Just like Miyamoto Musashi in the past, who was once his enemy, but after breaking away from the Demon Clan, they became friends.

This time, Huang Yi chose to believe in the Spirit Demon. If the Spirit Demon intended any conspiracy, he was confident he could reclaim control at the first opportunity.

Previously, both the Spirit Demon and the Heavenly Demon were killed to Level 1 by the King of Hell. The Heavenly Demon had already deleted their account and re-registered a new character, now still a novice player, with no one knowing their identity.

But the Spirit Demon didn’t delete their character because they had a contingency plan — a Divine Embryo!

Initially, he was dispatched by the King of Hell to visit an old friend in the Xuanhuang World, and that old friend was the green-haired, green-bearded old man before him, the top poison master in the Xuanhuang World — Poison Master!

The Spirit Demon learned the true teachings of the Poison Master, along with the Poison Skill bestowed by the King of Hell, granting him Divine Level abilities in using poison. Thus, he sowed the Soul Plague, poisoning players worldwide.

During that trip to the Xuanhuang World, he acquired a Divine Embryo and named it "Gentleman in the Dark", as Dao Feng’s Divine Embryo was called "Gentleman", and the Spirit Demon considered this name an irony.

Initially, it was through this Divine Embryo that he entered The Second World, infiltrated Dragon City on Hero’s Continent, without anyone discovering his true identity, thereby sowing the first batch of Soul Plagues.

The Spirit Demon’s main form was killed to Level 1 by the King of Hell, but the Divine Embryo was separate from the main body, without any contract connection, allowing him a chance to rise again, far stronger than the Heavenly Demon.

Both Huang Yi and the King of Hell were his enemies, but the damage caused by Huang Yi was far less than that by the King of Hell, who killed him down to Level 1, causing countless efforts to go down the drain. Comparatively, he wanted to leverage Huang Yi to kill the King of Hell and achieve revenge.

"Oh? Disciple?" The Poison Master was slightly stunned upon hearing Huang Yi’s voice change to another person.

The Spirit Demon shook his head with a smile: "That title doesn’t suit me anymore. If I were to go to the Xuanhuang World, perhaps I could compete with you for the title of ’Poison Master’."

Upon hearing these words, Huang Yi suddenly understood why all the Kiss of Death he had secreted for so long had left no trace —

They had been absorbed by this old man!

In the Xuanhuang World, one can cultivate to a higher level without achieving Divine Enthronement, and this strong individual called "Poison Master" cannot be evaluated by the universe standard of The Second World; he likely absorbed his Kiss of Death and made it his own.

At this moment, the Spirit Demon covered his chest with his hand, feeling the track of the Xuanhuang Worm inside, and said with a smile: "This Xuanhuang Worm, treasured over many years of cultivation, was something I always desired, but you were always reluctant to give it to me. Now, it finally belongs to me."

With that, the Spirit Demon suddenly released a surge of Green Light from his palm, penetrating into Huang Yi’s body, straight for the Xuanhuang Worm.

Both Huang Yi and the Spirit Demon were top-level poison masters, even their hearts had become Poison Hearts, immune to poison.

But the Poison Master was adept at using Gu Insects for poisoning, and while Huang Yi could resist the poison of the insects, he couldn’t escape the pain of the insects biting within his body; that transcended the realm of poison.

In this aspect, the Spirit Demon excelled further, having studied in the Xuanhuang World for some time to learn the true teachings of the Poison Master.

In no time, the Spirit Demon’s Energy wrapped around the Xuanhuang Worm in Huang Yi’s body, forcibly entering its body.

The Xuanhuang Worm struggled violently but was powerless, ultimately being completely controlled by the Spirit Demon’s Energy.

The first appearance of the Spirit Demon’s Divine Embryo was in Chapter 1405.
