Heroes' Prison

Chapter 482 - 472 Sea Dragon Emperor’s Essence Blood

"God of Slaughter, sending it out like this may wreak havoc even before battle commences. Who knows how many forests and mountains it will trample and destroy along the way." The Undead Flying Dragon watched the Ancient Giant disappearing into the horizon and couldn’t help but sigh. With its current size, the Ancient Giant didn’t need to lift a finger; wherever it went, destruction followed, and no wall could stand in its way.

Huang Yi shook his head: "There’s no helping it. If it were two days earlier, I could have transported the Heroes’ Prison directly to the destination and released it there. But now it has grown so immense, and the entrance to Heroes’ Prison I can summon has become too small to let it enter again unless I shrink it back to its original size. However, doing that would waste all the material it has absorbed these past two days. Nevertheless, there’s no need to worry too much. Its run over there shouldn’t be too devastating. From here to the seaside is all primeval forest, with no villages or cities, a fringe area of the continent. It will only destroy some forests and mountains and won’t cause significant casualties."

"Did you just say that demonic creatures are about to invade this continent? What’s going on?" asked the Undead Flying Dragon, its activity limited to this Sub-territory, unaware of the outside world.

Huang Yi’s face darkened as he spoke gravely, "Personally, I speculate that this event is related to a martial competition recently undertaken by us, the Heaven-Sent. There’s a master from another continent who may feel that there are too many top-level experts on Hero’s Continent—with just the Heroes’ Guild, Sun Team, and Yanhuang Legion amounting to fifteen hundred people. These individuals seriously threaten him and his team. Without eliminating these people, he probably won’t have peace of mind. And coincidentally, he’s an important pawn of The Seven Archdemons, with a bit of power, thus he orchestrated this invasion by the Demon Clan to get rid of us."

"Then why doesn’t he just send top-tier demons to assassinate you?" asked the Undead Flying Dragon again, "That seems to be the fastest way! You haven’t reached the Holy Domain Boundary yet, and your ability to flee is limited; you definitely can’t withstand them."

Stroking his chin, Huang Yi analyzed: "They probably have several reasons for not doing so. First, our numbers are too high; targeting each of the more than fifteen hundred experts one by one for assassination is too troublesome. Second, among these experts, quite a few are seen as promising seeds by The Seven Archdemons. For instance, the Fallen Messenger once tried to recruit me, which I declined with courtesy. Our relationship is still relatively amicable on the surface. If they were to come and kill us directly, it would be a different story. Third, if they come to trouble us directly, outsiders will easily guess that this incident is associated with the martial competition, exposing that person’s demon clan identity. Lastly, and most importantly, since they are planning to invade this world sooner or later, now they are just preying on the continent ahead of time to smooth the way for their future formal invasion."

Having said this, Huang Yi turned to the Undead Flying Dragon and cautioned: "Regardless, the situation will become more and more severe in the future. Although you are almost invincible on this continent, this land is barren and will face many threats from beyond in the future. You must be careful. After this martial competition, I should be able to break through to the Holy Domain Level. By then, I should have the strength to release those criminals from the Heavenly Realm of Heroes’ Prison, and your burden will be greatly reduced."

"That’s good!" The Undead Flying Dragon flapped its wings, its enormous dragon eyes fixed on Huang Yi: "If you could release just one of the top 100 criminals from Heroes’ Prison, this continent would be utterly secure. Heroes’ Prison is far too terrifying—I am merely a small fry inside, and even the Heavenly Realm criminals are just a bit stronger. I wonder what sort of person that legendary number 1 criminal is?"

"Number 1 criminal? I don’t know what sort of person it is either. The information on these highest-level criminals is blank." Huang Yi shook his head.

He had tried countless times to find out the identity of the number 1 criminal of Heroes’ Prison but had found no clues. He could only wait until his strength grew strong enough to obtain the number 1 key, open the door of that prison cell that had been closed for countless years, and see for himself who this dangerous top individual was.

...

Following this, Huang Yi returned his focus to the incarnation of the Dragon Palace.

He was still holding Jin Jiao, comforting it.

After a while, there was a commotion at the door, and in walked a person clad in a golden Dragon Robe—it was the Sea Dragon Emperor. But at this moment, his aura was unstable, and his complexion wasn’t as composed as before, appearing to have suffered no small injury.

"Father!" Seeing the Sea Dragon Emperor, Jin Jiao ran over crying and threw itself into his arms.

Seeing Jin Jiao, the Sea Dragon Emperor finally showed a trace of a smile. He bent his impressive stature to embrace Jin Jiao in his arms, caressing its head, "My child, don’t cry. Your father is fine!"

After that, he turned to look at Huang Yi, "God of Slaughter, I’ve now temporarily retreated with my best warriors. Those demonic creatures, unobstructed, can storm in at will. I fear that every citizen they cross will suffer invasion. When can your Ancient Giant be expected to arrive?"

"Don’t worry, it has large strides and is very fast!" As Huang Yi spoke, he took out the Sea-Calming Divine Staff from his storage ring, reluctantly returning it to the Sea Dragon Emperor.

"This time, we owe you for your willingness to bring out the Ancient Giant General to fight! Otherwise, we might have been doomed to die in battle there. With the power of the Dragon Sea, confronting the forces of The Seven Archdemons is like throwing an egg against a rock. Only the Oskan Royal Academy can truly hold its own against them." The Sea Dragon Emperor took the Sea-Calming Divine Staff, and his aura suddenly became much more powerful. He eyed Huang Yi and said, "Do you have any other needs now? As long as it is within my power, I will agree to it."

Huang Yi immediately nodded, "I do have some concerns; it requires someone to operate it to exhibit its strongest combat power. I’m afraid I cannot personally go and control it, as the Fallen Messenger could kill me with just one encounter, and it would reveal that I am the mastermind behind the Ancient Giant General’s movements. Moreover, this battle must be swift; we need to quickly eliminate those Demonic Creatures, or if they receive even more formidable reinforcements, the Ancient Giant General could fall back into their hands."

"Your worry is simply about not having your identity and safety guaranteed," after hearing Huang Yi’s words, the Sea Dragon Emperor immediately understood his concerns and directly said, "I will lend you the Sea Dragon Emperor Armor temporarily; this Dragon Armor is an ancestral item of the Sea Dragon Clan and is as formidable as the Sea-Calming Divine Staff, which is a fragment of a Divine Artifact, as long as you are within the bounds of the Dragon Sea. Once you wear it, both your stealth and protection will be very strong, making it hard for even the Fallen Messenger to discover you. A large reason for my repeated narrow escapes is due to this Sea Dragon Emperor Armor."

"As for your identity, I can cast the Dragon Transformation Skill on you, temporarily making you appear as if you are from the Sea Dragon Clan. Additionally, I will give you a drop of my Essence Blood. After you swallow it, you can temporarily possess the bloodline aura of the Sea Dragon Clan; this way, even if the Fallen Messenger discovers you, it will believe you are one of our Sea Dragon Clan. Moreover, since you were previously from the White Dragon Clan, which is a branch of the Sea Dragon Clan, combined with my Essence Blood, the deception will be even more convincing. Of course, this is just a contingency plan, intended to prevent the Fallen Messenger from discovering you. I believe that with the stealth of the Sea Dragon Emperor Armor, the likelihood of you being detected is very, very small." The Sea Dragon Emperor stated his conditions and watched Huang Yi, eager to see his reaction.

"Now that I no longer have concerns, I can fully take to the battlefield myself," Huang Yi nodded and agreed to the proposal. He also wanted to go to the battlefield to command the Ancient Giant General and clash with the Demon Clan, to immerse in the atmosphere, and to accumulate experience for the inevitable full-scale invasion of The Seven Archdemons. Such an opportunity wasn’t available to everyone!

Next, the Sea Dragon Emperor immediately released a drop of Essence Blood from within his body—a majestic aura flowed from this blood, not comparable to ordinary blood, as it was infused with the quintessence of the Sea Dragon Clan. Huang Yi had previously seen the Essence Blood of the White Dragon King, which was necessary for evolution, but this time it was for disguising his identity.

Huang Yi looked at the droplet of Essence Blood, not consuming it right away, but carefully stored it in a Magic Bottle. It was just a precaution, to prevent the Fallen Messenger from discovering and unmasking his identity later. There would be no rush to use it until then.

"Dragon Transformation!" The next moment, the Sea Dragon Emperor pointed towards Huang Yi through the void!

A golden energy instantly burst forth from his fingertip, blessing Huang Yi and transforming his body into a dragon-headed humanoid resembling the Sea Dragon Emperor, but without the majestic aura.

"This Dragon Transformation Skill can only temporarily make you look like you are from the Sea Dragon Clan; it cannot turn you into a true member of the Sea Dragon Clan. It would be great if you were from the Sea Dragon Clan—I could even take you as my adopted son!" The Sea Dragon Emperor looked at Huang Yi with a tinge of regret in his voice.

Huang Yi, a standout among those who are Heaven-Sent, has boundless potential. Even The Seven Archdemons want to win him over, and it’s natural the Sea Dragon Emperor would want the same. Unfortunately, due to Huang Yi’s lack of Sea Dragon Clan bloodline, there’s always been a barrier preventing him from truly integrating into the clan.

"Perhaps in the future!" Huang Yi cracked a dragon-mouthed smile. He had the Evolving Ability and could evolve every 20 levels. His next evolution was fast approaching, and once he reached Level 100, he wouldn’t just reach the Holy Domain Boundary but would also undergo another evolution. Now, he already had the blood of Four Unparalleled Warriors—those of the Mysterious Python, Barbaric Heaven of the Half-Beastmen, the Fallen Messenger, and the just acquired Sea Dragon Emperor’s Essence Blood—he had many choices.

"Alright, I’ll lend you this Sea Dragon Emperor Armor as well!" With that said, the Sea Dragon Emperor shook his body, and the golden Dragon Robe, a symbol of supreme imperial authority, came off and flew automatically towards Huang Yi, draping over him.

The Dragon Robe, an emblem of absolute imperial power, was only to be worn by emperors, but now, with this great peril upon them, the Sea Dragon Emperor could no longer adhere to so many protocols and directly lent it to Huang Yi to wear.

The moment Huang Yi donned this supreme Dragon Robe, he almost seemed to have transformed into an emperor himself, his mind broadening, holding the power over countless lives and deaths, and combined with his current Sea Dragon Clan appearance, he looked just like a second Sea Dragon Emperor.

"Alright, everything is ready, I must go now!" Huang Yi said to the Sea Dragon Emperor and quickly rushed out.

Next, he was going to join the Ancient Giant General to confront an entire invading army of the Demon Clan! (To be continued.
