Heroes' Prison

Chapter 330 - 323 Eyeless Demon

"Instakill, long time no see." The Undead Flying Dragon noticed Huang Yi’s arrival and spoke indifferently.

This time, the big yellow dog finally became aware of someone’s presence, lazily lifting its head to look.

When it saw Huang Yi, it immediately became excited, sticking out its tongue and running over, pouncing on Huang Yi with its front paws, hopping up and down, its tail wagging non-stop.

"Long time no see!" Huang Yi reached out to pet Little Wang, whose fur had gotten smoother, seemingly having a good time following the Undead Flying Dragon around.

"Undead Flying Dragon, could you help me extract a drop of blood from this Demon Beast?" Huang Yi took a few steps forward and said to the Undead Flying Dragon.

"Sure!" The Undead Flying Dragon breathed out towards the Demon Beast inside the barrier, and a blood-colored light immediately penetrated the barrier, striking the beast fiercely.

"Squeak!" The Demon Beast cried out in pain, immediately getting injured and ejecting a few drops of blood.

Huang Yi quickly dashed forward, his hand swiftly catching one of the droplets.

The drop of blood wasn’t red but as dark as the color of the Demon Beast, resembling a droplet of ink.

Huang Yi immediately attempted to absorb it.

"[System Prompt]: You have obtained the blood of a mysterious species, would you like to choose to absorb and evolve?"

This time, the system prompt still did not specify the name of the species, still referring to it as a mysterious species.

Huang Yi chose to absorb, and his palm once again felt a suction force!

This time, the droplet of blood was not as stubborn as the previous Python Blood; it was smoothly absorbed.

Subsequently, Huang Yi began his fourth evolution on the spot!

The familiar intense pain came again, each evolution required him to endure unbearable agony as his body’s tissues were forcibly twisted, breaking the natural laws of creation, rapidly transforming into another creature within a short period of time.

Little Wang seemed to sense Huang Yi’s pain and quietly lay beside him, its tail wagging side to side, accompanying him through it.

Gradually, Huang Yi’s body began to change, starting with the color of his skin; he began turning black, like people of African descent, until finally, he was as black as ink.

Then, his head transformed into something resembling that of a monkey, with a sharp horn on top but no eyes. Following that, his arms and legs became like those of a bull, and he grew a serpent-like tail. Additionally, a black smoke began to billow from his whole body, enveloping him.

The Demon Beast within the barrier seemed to sense Huang Yi’s transformation and continuously turned its head in his direction, even though it had no eyes, it seemed to see everything.

Finally, the pain subsided completely, and Huang Yi’s body became identical to that of the Demon Beast.

[System Prompt]: Congratulations on completing your evolution.

Current evolution stage: Fifth Rank

Current evolution form: Eyeless Demon

Current form expertise: Visual Ability, Demonic Attribute Power. In all forms, you possess the Heart Eye Ability, immune to Blinding State, ignoring visual obstructions. In the Eyeless Demon form, temporarily become a member of the Demonic faction.

Current abilities:

[Dark Conversion]: In all forms, for every target at least equal to your own level that you kill, convert into 1 point of Dark Breath, which can be stored for 5 days. Each point of Dark Breath can increase the Eyeless Demon form’s Health Points upper limit by 1 point.

[Demonization]: In all forms, capable of unleashing all stored Dark Breath to demonize yourself, all attacks turn into Dark Attacks, impossible to block. For every 10,000 points of Dark Breath, support 1 second of Demonization time.

Finally, Huang Yi had learned the name of this creature. It indeed belonged to one of the Demonic Creatures associated with The Seven Archdemons, different from the current continental ecosystem.

The name Eyeless Demon was quite descriptive, as this Race did not have eyes, which was now true for Huang Yi. However, lacking eyes didn’t mean he couldn’t see. With his Heart Eye Ability, he could still "see" his surroundings; he could see Little Wang lying next to him, not far away was the Undead Flying Dragon, and opposite to it, there was a rock... But these scenes were displayed directly in his mind, not through his eyes, and they were devoid of color, with the world appearing in shades of gray. This Heart Eye Ability was present in every form, so even if Huang Yi transformed back to his human form, it would still exist.

The Heart Eye Ability could ignore any Blinding effects, making future Blinding Skills thrown at Huang Yi useless. Additionally, the Heart Eye could see through obstructions; even in the midst of smoke, he would still be able to see clearly. The Incarnation’s Third Eye also had the ability to see through the fog, but it was only available to the Incarnation, while the Heart Eye Ability could be used by both the Incarnation and the original form.

After evolving into an Eyeless Demon, Huang Yi could temporarily transform into a character from The Seven Archdemons’ side, which would significantly increase his chances of survival when The Seven Archdemons invaded this world. The Demon Beasts would still think he was one of them and wouldn’t attack him.

In terms of abilities, the two Skills of the Eyeless Demon were also outstanding. First, Dark Conversion had no quantity limit, only a time constraint. If he gathered 1 million points of Dark Breath within 5 days, then after transforming into the Eyeless Demon form, he would have 1 million Health Points for that period! Just in terms of Health Points, his were higher than any Tank’s, although the Eyeless Demon’s Defense was very low, so 1 million Health Points wouldn’t last very long.

The second Skill, Demonization, was a way to consume Dark Breath, turning all attacks into Dark Attacks that were unstoppable! No matter how high the enemy’s Physical Defense, Magic Defense, or Resistance, none could block his Dark Damage, which meant whatever Huang Yi’s Attack Power was, that’s how much damage he could inflict. For someone of Huang Yi’s aggressive class, this Skill was tailor-made for him.

The Eyeless Demon also brought Huang Yi a pleasant surprise, letting him encounter Dark Breath for the first time!

Huang Yi’s veins coursed with Nefalem’s Bloodline, a lineage that transcended both gods and demons. Xiao Chunzi had awakened her bloodline first, which brought her significant assistance. She was only around Level 50 now; if she reached Level 200 or 300, who knew what her Nefalem’s Bloodline could become?

Huang Yi’s Nefalem Bloodline had yet to awaken, and it was because he lacked Dark Breath, which he needed to venture into the Abyss the Beast God spoke of. Currently, his strength was far from sufficient to enter the Abyss, making his Nefalem’s Bloodline essentially unusable. Whether the Eyeless Demon’s ability to convert Dark Breath could aid his Nefalem’s Bloodline was unknown, but if it could, then he would be able to awaken it gradually.

Then, Huang Yi transformed back into his human form, regained his eyes, and his vision finally returned to color, the world immediately becoming vibrant and extraordinarily beautiful. The previous Heart Eye State, with a world of gray, was too oppressive and nowhere near as comfortable as now.

"Instakill, your ability is truly divine. I have lived for many years but have never seen any creature possess such a powerful ability!" At that moment, the Undead Flying Dragon expressed its amazement to Huang Yi, its massive eyes emitting a strange glow. It had just witnessed Huang Yi’s Evolution, and even as a powerful being itself, it had never seen such an ability.

"It is indeed a strong ability," Huang Yi nodded in agreement, noncommittal. Evolution after evolution had unlocked his limitless potential, the hallmark ability of the Beast King!

"I need to deal with other matters! Goodbye, Undead Flying Dragon, Little Wang," Huang Yi said to the Undead Flying Dragon, patted Little Wang’s head, and then turned to leave.

Huang Yi went directly to the stronghold’s Teleportation Circle and teleported to the 78th floor of the Tower of Pantheons.

He wanted to conduct an experiment; the creatures here were between Levels 78-88, and some of them met the requirements for converting into Dark Breath.

Huang Yi took out his Ghost Axe and charged toward a Level 80 creature, swiftly eliminating it.

Instantly, a stream of dark energy drifted from the creature’s body and flowed into Huang Yi.

"[System Prompt]: You have obtained 1 point of Dark Breath. Since you possess Nefalem’s Bloodline, you can absorb it for awakening. Would you like to take the Dark Breath into Nefalem’s Bloodline?"

Seeing this System Prompt, Huang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief; he had discovered another way to awaken Nefalem’s Bloodline! As long as he was diligent enough to gather more Dark Breath, his Nefalem’s Bloodline would awaken step by step.

However, a complete awakening still seemed unlikely. The Beast God had mentioned a pure stream of Dark Breath in the Abyss, certainly of the highest quality, whereas the Dark Breath absorbed by Huang Yi’s Eyeless Demon was not of that caliber.

Huang Yi continued grinding at the Tower of Pantheons, absorbing Dark Breath bit by bit. He chose not to take this dark energy into Nefalem’s Bloodline but to store it instead.

Next, he was set to slay the Half-beast Chieftain, a foe at the Holy Domain Rank with formidable Defense, even while injured. He needed to prepare a significant amount of Dark Breath to Demonize himself, causing massive damage to it and ensuring a higher chance of success in killing his opponent.

...

And so, Huang Yi spent three days grinding at the Tower of Pantheons. Meanwhile, his Incarnation had been leading the army on a three-day march; the army was slow and still one day away from reaching the Bloodthirsty Forest.

During this time, Huang Yi had gathered 100,000 points of Dark Breath, enough to sustain 10 seconds of Demonization!

Finally, he stopped his relentless grinding, mounted a Velociraptor, and sped toward the main force.

One day later, leading an army of 500,000, Huang Yi arrived at the Bloodthirsty Forest to join the vanguard forces.

Next, it was time to officially start the war of extermination. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Starting Point (qidian.com) to cast your Recommendation Tickets and Monthly Tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
