Heroes' Prison

Chapter 397 - 387 Unbeaten

However, in this world, there are all kinds of people, and certainly some who can’t resist the temptation and join the side of The Seven Archdemons. Huang Yi hadn’t encountered such a person yet.

The Black Demon took Huang Yi deeper and deeper until, after a long time, they finally arrived at the Abyssal Depths.

The environment here was even worse than above. The area was filled with black marshes, and unnamed creatures writhed in the mud, splashing noises surrounding them. You could vaguely see their slippery bodies exposed above the mud, which looked quite disgusting.

They rushed in a certain direction through the marsh for a while before finally coming to a stop.

In front of them stood a strange portal.

This portal was about five meters high and two meters wide, jutting awkwardly into the void, like a gateway to another world. If one were to push the door open, they could enter a different realm.

At this moment, a black barrier lay over the gateway, with a dark ink moving incessantly across it, slithering like a little snake and appearing extraordinary.

Huang Yi stared intently at the black barrier, the feeling of comfort in his heart intensified to the extreme!

Almost instantly, he was sure that the inky substance on the barrier was the pure Dark Breath mentioned by the Beast God! The quality was far superior to any Dark Breath he had collected elsewhere!

Moreover, in terms of intensity, this Dark Breath far exceeded the Holy Aura at Bai Long Lake. After all, the Holy Aura only sealed the legs of the Harbinger of Doomsday, while the Dark Breath in front of him was at the dangerous Abyssal Depths.

As long as he absorbed this pure Dark Breath, Huang Yi would fully awaken the powerful Divine Demon Bloodline and become a true Nefalem!

This bloodline was extremely formidable. Xiao Chunzi, merely a level 50-something player, awoke Nefalem’s Bloodline and became the top-level support player Huang Yi had ever seen. Furthermore, Nefalem’s Bloodline could grow with increasing levels. This bloodline could bridge any gap and jump straight to super-first master status! And Huang Yi was already a super-first master, so fully awakening this bloodline meant his strength would rise to an unimaginable realm.

However, it was not easy to completely absorb this Dark Breath. Xiao Chunzi, with the White Dragon King’s help and no external disturbances, took several months to fully absorb that Holy Aura. Now, without the White Dragon King’s assistance, Huang Yi would have to rely on himself to absorb the Breath, which would be extremely slow. Here in the perilous Abyss, he had no stable environment for the absorption and could only stand by and watch.

"This door is called the Demon King’s Gate, set up by The Seven Archdemons themselves. It’s the only passage between this continent and the space where The Seven Archdemons reside. You are not a creature of demonic attributes and can’t enter. I will go in and notify the Fallen Messenger. This may take a few days. Wait for me here and don’t go anywhere else," the Black Demon instructed Huang Yi before diving into the gateway and disappearing without a trace.

Now alone, Huang Yi stood in the marsh as cold winds from the Abyss blew, almost turning him into an ice sculpture. There was no one around, and endless dark marshes surrounded him. Those unnamed creatures stirred in the mud in the distance, making heart-thumping noises.

Huang Yi stood motionless in the swamp, gazing fixedly at the barrier of the gateway.

In front of him lay another world, where The Seven Archdemons whose actions could determine the life or death of The Second World, were residing. In history, they ravaged this world repeatedly and although The Second World managed to repel them time after time, each victory came with increasing difficulty.

This time, The Seven Archdemons were about to unite and devastate the world again, which was already fragile, with fewer masters than in previous events. If The Seven Archdemons were to wreak havoc once more, this world might not withstand it.

Historically, some human leaders with grand strategies sought to find the space of The Seven Archdemons for a counterattack. However, the location of The Seven Archdemons had always been a mystery, with no one knowing it. Outsiders, even if they found the gateway barrier, could not enter, accessible only to demonic creatures.

But now, Huang Yi had an opportunity!

He was the unique Beast King, possessing unheard-of evolving abilities. At level 80, he had evolved into an Eyeless Demon, temporarily capable of becoming a creature of demonic attributes, not hindered by the gateway.

At this moment, he faced two choices. The first option was to use these precious few days to absorb the Dark Breath from the portal. But this would be nearly ineffective due to the short timeframe—he wouldn’t absorb much Dark Breath.

The second option was to use these days to enter the portal and investigate the space where The Seven Archdemons resided. This would be like walking into the lion’s den, with an uncertain future and unknown dangers. However, it also carried the potential for enormous gains.

After a brief consideration, Huang Yi made his choice. He decided to take the risk and enter the portal to see the space where The Seven Archdemons resided—even a glimpse would satisfy him.

He immediately transformed into the form of an Eyeless Demon, temporarily a creature of Demonic Attributes, approached the strange portal, and took a small step forward, entering it. His figure vanished within the portal.

This small step was a giant leap in the history of The Second World!

This was the first time someone had entered the space of The Seven Archdemons in The Second World!

At that moment, Huang Yi felt the world spinning around him, his body seized by the strongest pulling force he had ever encountered, as if his entire being was about to fall apart.

After what seemed like an eternity, the pulling force dissipated, and he found himself in a new location.

This place was a strange space where gravity seemed to vanish; there was no earth below or sky above—all floated in mid-air as if one were in outer space.

All around, fragments of rock, corpses, and white bones floated aimlessly, devoid of life, a stark contrast to the outside world. Huang Yi floated in this void, his feet treading on nothingness, with that odd gateway right behind him.

Here, both time and space became nothingness, devoid of any sense of existence.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!" Just then, Huang Yi suddenly heard a strange noise in the distance. At the same time, in the direction from which the noise was coming, some floating stones were brutally swept aside as if someone was approaching.

Huang Yi immediately stepped through the void and took cover behind a stone, not daring to show himself, using only his Heart Eye to observe the scene in front.

Soon, the strange noise grew closer, and a path was cleared through the stones floating in the air.

Then, a figure suddenly appeared from the front and walked toward the gateway that led back to the outside world.

At that instant, Huang Yi was shocked—this figure was someone he knew!

And it wasn’t just Huang Yi; many people around the world recognized him.

The man was in his twenties, dressed as a warrior, with a long sword hanging from his back.

He had a mop of white hair that hung casually over his shoulders. His features were not particularly handsome but were pleasant to look at, and his eyes were deep like the starry sky. However, he had a silent expression with his brow slightly furrowed, as though he was troubled by some thoughts.

That person was none other than Unbeaten, a super-first master from the China Region.

In last year’s Best Individual Award, China had five finalists, including the most renowned names like Dao Feng and Dragon Spike, as well as Sharp Sword, who ultimately won the award. There were also two others, Desire Arises from the Heart and Unbeaten.

When discussing the masters of the China Region, people often think of Dragon Spike, Sharp Sword, Instakill, Thunder God, and the retired Dao Feng. But these five were not the only masters; there were a few others, like Unbeaten, Desire Arises from the Heart, and Second Brother Who Studies Medicine, whose fame wasn’t as loud but whose strength could match theirs. They only lacked a bit of luck and didn’t have any Unique Achievements to their names.

Now, Huang Yi was facing a master almost equal to himself, someone who had competed for the Best Individual Award.

What made Unbeaten a popular topic of conversation was that he had a twin brother named Nonexistence, both of whom were super-first masters, one a warrior and the other a mage. Together, they were invincible, fearless against anyone they faced.

Huang Yi and Unbeaten had some indirect connections. During the battle for the sub-territory of Dragon City, there were four guilds in competition: Eternal Myth, Wind Kingdom, Dao, and the Undying Guild led by Unbeaten and Nonexistence. But when Huang Yi arrived, the situation immediately changed; Eternal Myth withdrew directly, the Undying Guild adopted a wait-and-see approach, and the 200,000 people of Wind Kingdom and Dao were annihilated by the Sand King summoned by Huang Yi.

Now, Huang Yi was laying eyes on Unbeaten for the first time, but he never expected to meet him in such a place. The space that belonged to The Seven Archdemons was only accessible to creatures with Demonic Attributes. Unbeaten being able to enter suggested he might have signed a pact with one of the Archdemons, joined their ranks, and become an enemy of this world!

This was a massive secret. That a super-first master like Unbeaten had chosen to be an enemy of the entire Second World was news that, if it got out, would cause an uproar. Probably only Nonexistence, Unbeaten’s own brother, knew of this secret; outsiders were completely unaware. Now, Huang Yi had inadvertently stumbled upon this shocking secret.

By then, Unbeaten had reached the entrance of the gateway. He turned his head for a final glance at The Seven Archdemons’ space, his brow furrowing even more as his eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions.

"Once you’ve made your choice, there should be no regrets," suddenly a voice sounded from behind Huang Yi!

Huang Yi was startled, realizing only then that a young man had appeared behind him! (To be continued.
