Heroes' Prison

Chapter 536 - 525 An Absolute Big Shot

Almost instantaneously, the meteor arrived in the sky above Dragon City, hovering there and revealing a towering figure with a presence as vast as the sea!

This great figure was none other than the leader of the Half-Beast Holy Land—the Barbarian Saint!

This sudden turn of events immediately drew the attention of all the players in Dragon City. They looked up, gazing at the peerless powerhouse beyond the Heavenly Curtain Barrier.

This scene was also broadcast through their live streams to the forums, where countless players around the globe watched synchronously.

This was the most powerful being they had ever witnessed in their lives!

At this moment, they almost all felt like ants, only able to look up to the transcendent figure reigning high above them!

"You’ve finally come!" Huang Yi’s incarnation stood on the city wall, looking up at the Barbarian Saint in the void, and loudly said, "It’s still not too late for you to turn back, our conflict can still be stopped. Otherwise, a situation that might embarrass you could arise later. You, esteemed as a Holy Land’s leader, your face matters more than mine."

"This Heavenly Curtain Barrier is not bad, pity, do you think this will stop me?" The Barbarian Saint directly ignored Huang Yi’s words, stretched out those large hands that held the fate of the entire Half-Beast Race, and pressed them against the Heavenly Curtain Barrier!

Instantly, the Heavenly Curtain Barrier of Dragon City seemed to be stricken with a heavy blow, teetering on the brink of collapse and barely maintaining itself. The sturdy Heavenly Curtain Barrier, when faced with the Barbarian Saint, was practically no different from a thin film of plastic!

"God of Slaughter, swap attributes with me quickly and release a stronger Guardian!" At this moment, the Sand King suddenly urged. In the face of the Barbarian Saint’s powerful momentum, it could no longer delay.

"Wait a bit longer, that potion is too precious to waste if we can avoid it. Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control," Huang Yi shook his head, his tone still very calm.

Then, the Barbarian Saint’s second attack brutally slammed into the Heavenly Curtain Barrier!

In an instant, the entirety of Dragon City trembled slightly, numerous players staggered, almost killed by the shockwave!

The character of the Barbarian Saint was simply too powerful to describe!

In the Magic Tower at the heart of the Heavenly Curtain Barrier, a vast amount of Magic Stones were being consumed without stop, as if money was continuously being burnt away!

Huang Yi gripped the bottle of Attribute Exchange Potion, occasionally glancing at the Barbarian Saint and then turning his gaze to the horizon, his expression profound, his brow furrowed deeply.

"God of Slaughter, quick, swap attributes with Sand King, or it’ll be too late!" At this moment, even the Heavenly Domain Guardian Soul Ripper urged, its tone full of urgency!

The attacks of the Barbarian Saint were too horrifying, the Heavenly Curtain Barrier wouldn’t last much longer!

At this moment, all the Guardians, all the players, all the forum viewers watching the live stream, were all staring intently at Huang Yi on the city walls, waiting for his next move!

Internal and external pressures enveloped him alone!

Huang Yi was deaf to all the noise around him, as if all sounds came from a distant otherworld, faintly echoing, unconnected to him.

His gaze was fixed on the horizon, clutching the bottle of Attribute Exchange Potion tightly, with sweat starting to seep into his palms as he counted down repeatedly in his heart.

He listened only to the voice inside his head. In his plan, there was still half a minute left before the critical moment to use the potion arrived!

At that moment, the Barbarian Saint, looking down at Huang Yi beneath the Heavenly Curtain Barrier, casually said, "God of Slaughter, take a look at those Guardians behind you! They are like ants on a hot pan, restlessly squirming. Is this the group of heroes you are proud of? In my presence, their fear of death is so apparent. The most terrifying thing is not death itself, but the anticipation of it. Once this Heavenly Curtain Barrier breaks, your demise will arrive. I enjoy this process very much; I have seen these eyes of despair countless times, and no one has ever been able to withstand absolute power, and I, am the embodiment of that absolute power!"

The imposing voice of the Barbarian Saint echoed through heaven and earth. Along with the dimming Heavenly Curtain Barrier, a chilling presence filled the souls of those within the barrier.

"God of Slaughter, hurry up!" The Guardians were already calling out in desperate urgency!

Finally, Huang Yi reached for the cap of the potion bottle!

Taking a deep breath, he prepared to use the potion!

But at that moment, a scoff suddenly resounded between heaven and earth—

"Barbarian Saint, you’ve got some nerve! Do you dare to kill my student?"

As these words fell, the vast dark night suddenly turned into day!

An incomparable, colossal arrow radiance tore through the night, shooting down from the starry sky!

This was an arrow radiance that stole the color of the starry sky, the only one in heaven and earth, unable to be dodged; even if one closed their eyes, the arrow radiance would still light up from deep within the soul!

The world stood still, and everything else ceased to exist, all eyes were lifted to gaze at it, and in their eyes, only the arrow’s radiance remained!

It was as if a star had been shot down from the vast universe’s river of stars!

The immense white light shone upon the gazing crowd, casting black shadows on the ground, looking like black ants from above, so minuscule and so easily crushed! Even the imposing figure of the Barbarian Saint seemed to lose its color!

This moment was indescribable!

Even the greatest poet could not compose an epic of this moment!

Finally, the arrow radiance shot down from the Star River, piercing through the Heavenly Curtain Barrier in an instant, landing directly in front of Huang Yi, ignoring the barrier’s resistance!

Everyone immediately focused their attention, only to discover that this arrow radiance was actually a person!

This was a one-eyed man!

He appeared young, dressed in leather armor, and carried a longbow on his back, with his hair tied casually with a thin hemp rope. He wore an eye patch over his left eye, but the remaining eye was extremely unique!

The pupil of that solitary eye was shaped like a pentagram, as if a star had been embedded in it, and the gaze which radiated from it was sharper than an eagle’s eyes! Those who met his gaze felt as if they were being targeted, uneasy all over, with no chance of escape!

Standing on the city wall, the man seemed like the sole existence between heaven and earth, with even the dazzling stars losing their brilliance to him!

"Vice Principal!" The Barbarian Saint, seeing this man, his expression turned incredibly grave, as if it would drip water, "I hadn’t expected that even a mere Instakill would provoke your intervention, you demi-god!"

Upon these words, all the spectators around the world were astounded!

A demi-god!

This one-eyed man was actually a demi-god!

A demi-god is a being qualified for Divine Enthronement, in any era, representing the ultimate strength, because after Divine Enthronement, one must ascend to the Divine Realm or Demon Realm, no longer remaining in the Mortal Realm. A demi-god is the strongest entity a world can accommodate!

And this one-eyed man standing before them was just such a mighty demi-god, standing at the pinnacle of the world’s pyramid, with even the Barbarian Saint looking up to him!

"Barbarian Saint, didn’t you just claim you represented absolute strength? Why not let me experience that absolute strength of yours?" The one-eyed man said calmly to the Barbarian Saint, not putting him in his eyes at all.

The Barbarian Saint drew back from attacking the Heavenly Dome Barrier Hand, watching the one-eyed man cautiously, and said, "Didn’t you travel to other worlds? Why waste your time over a mere Instakill?"

The one-eyed man, his piercing gaze fixed on the Barbarian Saint, coldly retorted, "That is a question I should be asking you! When you previously sent Man Tian to this continent to hunt down the God of Slaughter, you had already violated the ’Heavenly Domain Balance Pact’. The pact clearly states, Celestial Realm Experts of the Central Continent shall not interfere with these lesser continents. You have already openly breached the pact once. And this time, you have gone so far as to come here yourself, leader of the Holy Land, and the one being hunted is a student whom we of the Oskan Royal Academy plan to nurture importantly. Are you trying to challenge the Oskan Royal Academy?"

After Huang Yi first leveled up to 100, he had already been listed as a key cultivation target by the Oskan Royal Academy!

"You misunderstand, Vice Principal!" The Barbarian Saint hurriedly shook his head, beginning to explain: "I was too filled with anger! As you know, even at the Oskan Royal Academy, Celestial Realm Experts are the core force, and even more so for the Half-Beast Holy Land. In the future, we will rely on these experts to oppose The Seven Archdemons. And yet, the God of Slaughter, disregarding the bigger picture, killed Man Tian. That has touched our reverse scales, and it’s something we simply cannot swallow!"

"Swallow it you must!" the one-eyed man barked, "The death of Man Tian is your own fault for blatantly violating the ’Heavenly Domain Balance Pact’. His death was his deserved fate. The enmity between the Half-Beast Holy Land and the God of Slaughter, we at the Oskan Royal Academy will not interfere too much with. Once the God of Slaughter goes to the Central Continent, you are completely free to seek your revenge. But now, by breaching the pact and coming here to kill on these weaker continents, you have disrupted the world’s order. Our academy won’t allow such things to happen. If there’s a next time, then the Half-Beast Holy Land might as well not exist." By the end, the one-eyed man’s tone had turned incredibly cold, as if with a mere gesture he could reduce a holy land to dust and ashes.

Upon hearing these words, the face of the Barbarian Saint grew dark with anger, he clenched his teeth, yet in the end, he did not dare to retort.

He glared at Huang Yi and, with a sinister smile, he nodded, "Fine, since the Vice Principal has spoken, I will give you this respect. God of Slaughter, I hope you make your way to the Central Continent soon. I will prepare the most dignified ceremony to properly ’welcome’ you."

After speaking, the Barbarian Saint transformed into a meteor-like streak and flew away without looking back, vanishing into the horizon as if he had never been there.

In Dragon City, only the one-eyed man, Huang Yi, a group of Guardians, and a host of players who had long since been dumbfounded remained. (To be continued.
