Heroes' Prison

Chapter 481 - 471

Huang Yi felt a foreboding sense of unease rising in his heart as he traversed the undersea streets. Along the way, the people he saw were mostly ordinary guards; there was no aura of powerful experts, as if the Dragon Palace had suddenly become much emptier.

Soon, he arrived inside the sleeping chamber of the Sea Dragon Emperor.

However, the huge dragon throne within the chamber was deserted, with no sign of the Sea Dragon Emperor; only a few golden dragons circled lonely, and the air seemed to still carry the anxious breath of a hasty departure.

"Big Brother God of Slaughter, you’ve come!" At this moment, from a corner, Jin Jiao’s small form dashed out quickly, its tone incredibly tense, its little brow furrowed, no longer displaying the lively and adorable image of the past.

"Where is your father?" Huang Yi asked directly.

"He’s gone out to battle!" Jin Jiao said, its little mouth pouting, eyes misting up as if it was about to cry, "Earlier today, he suddenly detected a large wave of demonic creatures invading the edge of the Dragon Sea, coming in force as if to launch a major invasion of our Dragon Sea. Despite his injuries, the father emperor personally led a group of experts to that place, and he has not yet returned."

"That’s terrible!" Huang Yi’s heart sank. After all, he was a step too late; he hadn’t even had time to return the Sea-Calming Divine Staff to the Sea Dragon Emperor. Now, already injured and without the Divine Staff, the emperor’s strength was greatly diminished, and it was uncertain what kind of crisis he might encounter.

Moreover, the Fallen Messenger had been searching for the Sea Dragon Emperor’s whereabouts recently, and now it was likely to discover him at any moment, inevitably leading to another fierce battle.

"Big Brother God of Slaughter, do you think my father can safely come back?" At this point, Jin Jiao had already rushed in front of Huang Yi, hugging his legs, looking up at him helplessly, with tears swirling in its eyes, about to fall.

"He definitely will!" Huang Yi squatted down, holding Jin Jiao tightly in his embrace, comforting it.

Huang Yi frowned, pondering the conspiracy behind this incident.

He had suspected the invasion of the giant generals was the doing of T.N.T, and later, the giant general that passed through the Dragon Sea was confined in the Heroes’ Prison by him, leaving the Hero’s Continent unscathed.

Now, with all the giant generals repelled by the experts of the Oskan Royal Academy, the Demon Clan should be taking a breath, but instead, another wave of demonic creatures has come forth. And with the quarterfinals starting tomorrow, T.N.T might be involved in this again!

There are many experts on the Chinese Mainland; aside from the retired Dao Feng and the regrettably eliminated Dragon Spike, Huang Yi, Sharp Sword, and Thunder God have all entered the top eight, posing a serious obstacle to T.N.T’s championship ambitions at that time. Plus, there’s the Yanhuang Legion, Heroes’ Guild, Sun Team, who likewise threaten the Divine Nation. T.N.T is probably worried about this, which is why they instigated another demon invasion to disrupt the continent, drawing these people out to resist and deplete their strength.

With this in mind, Huang Yi couldn’t help asking, "How strong are the demonic creatures invading this time?"

"I don’t know, but it’s definitely much worse than last time, my father emperor’s expression was very grave, he called out nearly all the top experts of the Dragon Palace to stop those demonic creatures," Jin Jiao said with a worrisome look on its small face.

"It seems the situation is not optimistic. I’ll ask your father emperor directly!" Having said this, Huang Yi immediately took out the conch and transmitted a message to the Sea Dragon Emperor: "Sea Dragon Emperor, how is the situation there now?"

Soon, the emperor’s somewhat weak voice came from the conch: "I don’t know why, but this time there are so many demonic creatures invading; they are endless, as far as the eye can see, and even the Fallen Messenger has come! I am currently battling it, but we cannot hold off the rest of the demonic creatures; there are too many, and we do not have as many experts as them! This time, I fear we won’t hold out! If I do not make it back, I ask that you take good care of Jin Jiao for me, let him grow up to take revenge for me!" The Sea Dragon Emperor’s voice was labored with heavy breathing as if he was engaged in a fierce battle; even separated by countless distances, one could still deeply feel the tense and stressful battle situation.

Hearing the Sea Dragon Emperor’s words, Jin Jiao burst out crying: "Father emperor, please don’t abandon me! Come back!"

Huang Yi held Jin Jiao tightly, feeling as if he were facing an imminent calamity; if this wave of demonic creatures could not be stopped, it likely wasn’t just the Dragon Sea that would be imperiled, but the entire Hero’s Continent might fall into an irrecoverable doom!

No matter what, this wave of demonic creatures must be stopped! The martial arts competition was nearing its end, and by then he would surely be able to advance to the Holy Domain Rank of Level 100, significantly boosting his strength to a whole new level. Even if the demonic creatures invaded again, he would be capable of holding them off.

With that thought in mind, Huang Yi took a deep breath and immediately said to the conch, "Sea Dragon Emperor, please lead the experts of the Dragon Palace to retreat first. Don’t insist on fighting there. I have a way to withstand this wave of demonic creatures! The Giant General has already been subdued by me, and its strength has been restored to the Heavenly Domain level. I will let it enter the Dragon Sea and contend with that horde of demonic creatures! Moreover, now that I have the Sea-Calming Divine Staff in my hands, your strength will be even stronger once you return and take it."

"Hm? Are things settled on your end? Good! I will lead my people to retreat!" By the end of his words, the Sea Dragon Emperor seemed to have suffered an attack, but still, enduring the pain, said, "Everyone, retreat with me immediately!"

And then, there was no more sound from the conch, and the bedroom quieted down again, only leaving behind Jin Jiao’s sobbing, which was particularly heartbreaking.

"Don’t cry, sweetheart! Your father is the revered Sea Dragon Emperor, the ruler of the Dragon Sea. He won’t die so easily! Rest assured!" Huang Yi consoled Jin Jiao and refocused on his main body, which was leveling up in the Tower of Pantheons.

Huang Yi’s main body immediately stopped grinding levels and teleported out, then arrived at the main territory of the Hero Guild—Heavenly Pit Peak.

As soon as he got there, the world around him seemed much dimmer, even the moonlight was blocked quite a lot, but it was not obscured by clouds, but rather by a towering peak that reached into the clouds!

Huang Yi looked up at the peak, which was shaped like a human and stood quietly in the Heavenly Pit. It dwarfed the surrounding mountains by a great deal and was very conspicuous, exuding immense deterrence.

"God of Slaughter, you’re here!" At this moment, the Undead Flying Dragon noticed Huang Yi’s arrival and immediately flew over with Little Wang, hovering in the air and looking at the huge peak, "This Ancient Giant has completely recovered its strength, its aura is terrifying. Even if it moves a foot or takes a step, it would cause a massive earthquake. I’m afraid you can only keep it here, and won’t be able to use it anymore."

"Unfortunately, I’ve come today exactly to use it!" Huang Yi said, immediately taking out the Giant General’s Whip from his storage ring, rushing to the edge of the cliff, and staring at the Ancient Giant Puppet in the Heavenly Pit.

The Ancient Giant, which had already absorbed enough material to restore its Heavenly Domain strength, made Huang Yi, standing at the foot of the mountain, seem no taller than the Ancient Giant’s thigh. Next to the Ancient Giant, he looked like an ant, insignificant. Just one step from the Ancient Giant could easily crush him to death, leaving no trace behind.

"Ancient Giant Puppet, you are the natural enemy of demonic creatures; you died at their hands in the past. Now, even though your soul no longer exists, your body still possesses formidable combat power! Go, take your revenge!" Huang Yi took a deep breath, then immediately swung the Giant General’s Whip in his hand, casting it through the air towards the peak formed by the Ancient Giant!

"Crack!" The whip did not hit the mountain, but when it struck the air, it made a piercing sound of breaking through the air, echoing in the night within the Heavenly Pit.

As the sound of the whip broke through the air, the mountain peak seemed to hear an innate sound of fear and reflexively shuddered! Suddenly, the mountain trembled violently, countless rocks and trees tumbled down, falling into the bottomless Heavenly Pit.

Following that, the ground began to shake violently, and the towering peak actually started moving! It hurried in the direction where Huang Yi had whipped, looking as if a mountain peak were running!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Rumbling sounds rhythmically echoed as Huang Yi experienced firsthand what it meant to have the ground shake and the mountains sway. As the Ancient Giant formed by the peak ran, it felt as if it were about to move mountains and seas and reshape the geography with its imposing momentum!

Each step it took, the ground seemed to bounce like a trampoline, and Huang Yi was thrown to the ground. Numerous boulders from the mountain he stood on were shaken off and fell down the cliffside, and huge cracks appeared on the mountain, as if it were about to fall apart.

The Ancient Giant’s strides were immense; with each step, it was as if stepping into a sandbox, reducing the geographic distance by countless times. After one stride, it easily leapt to a far distance and swiftly arrived at the cliff edge of the Heavenly Pit. It raised one gigantic foot, which blocked the moon and stars, stepped onto the ground at the edge of the Heavenly Pit cliff as if climbing a staircase, and with another strong push from its other foot, the massive body climbed out of the Heavenly Pit.

Once again, it moved with large strides, crushing a forest with one foot, leveling a mountain peak with the next, its silhouette growing smaller in the distance.

At that moment, in the starry sky, a huge full moon was right in front of the Ancient Giant, casting its silhouette into a majestic outline. It charged straight towards the enormous moon as if emulating Kuafu chasing after the moon!

And in the Dragon Sea far ahead, a great wave of enemies who had once killed it was sweeping closer, reducing the distance between them.

The significance of this moment seemed to be more than just resisting the invasion of the Demon Clan. It was the revenge of the Ancient Giant race across time and space!
