Heroes' Prison

Chapter 576 - 552: Manually Transferring Dragon Clan Bloodline Essence

Huang Yi carefully placed the precious Holy Crystal Stone into his storage ring, then began to leisurely stroll around the Treasure Spot, turning his head towards the four Treasure Rooms, and casually asked, "Sand Thief King, having been in this Treasure Spot for so long, have you discovered any secrets?"

"Of course I have!" the Sand Thief King said, glancing directly at the Level Two Hundred Treasure Room, "That Level Two Hundred Treasure Room seems out of the ordinary. If you could call the Fallen Messenger here, then we’d know exactly what treasures are inside. If you make this happen, naturally, you’d get a share of the loot." The Sand Thief King kept bringing up the Fallen Messenger, trying various ways to tempt Huang Yi into helping him call for reinforcements.

"Then I’ll go take a look first!" At this moment, Huang Yi had already reached the entrance of the Level Two Hundred Treasure Room; suddenly, he dropped a remark and activated Level Up!

Instantly, his avatar surged by eighty levels, shooting up directly from Level One Hundred and Twenty-Two to the Heavenly Domain Level of Two Hundred and Two!

The next moment, he pushed open the door that hadn’t been opened by anyone for countless years and entered the unknown Level Two Hundred Treasure Room! His figure swiftly vanished from sight!

The Sand Thief King was thoroughly stunned; he had never imagined that Huang Yi could actually enter the Level Two Hundred Treasure Room!

That Treasure Room was filled with immense dangers, which it had already witnessed before. But the more dangerous the place, the greater the opportunities, and after clenching its teeth, it hastily charged forward, wanting to follow Huang Yi and enter together!

"Boom!" As it rushed to the doorway, an invisible force blocked it; although the door was already opened, it still couldn’t enter, not meeting the level requirements!

"Damn it!" The Sand Thief King’s roar echoed throughout the entire Treasure Spot, creating a series of echoes.

...

By now, Huang Yi had entered a place that no one had ever set foot in before, a secret was about to be unveiled!

He immediately looked ahead inside the Level Two Hundred Treasure Room!

In an instant, he couldn’t take his eyes off the scene before him!

He saw that in the central area of the Treasure Room, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of golden stones piled together, radiating a dense aura of the Holy Domain, all of them being Holy Crystal Stones! These Holy Crystal Stones were meticulously arranged in a specific pattern, seemingly forming a Magic Circle!

In the central area of the Formation, there were thirty-six stones with an even stronger aura. Their surfaces had a white, speckled appearance, emitting a milky glow, each containing a power fearsome enough to terrify anyone!

This type of stone, Huang Yi had only read about in library documents and forum posts before; these were none other than Sky Crystal Stones, even more high-level than Holy Crystal Stones! Celestial Realm Experts had only a chance of condensing them by expending their Essence of Life!

These thirty-six Sky Crystal Stones formed a circle, and within that circle was the center point of the Formation, where a golden egg lay quietly in place!

The egg was only as tall as a person’s knee, with a surface that seemed to be gilded in gold, shining brilliantly. It was covered in a dense array of exquisite patterns, giving it a textured feel, like an art piece crafted from gold.

It stood silently in the middle of the Formation, surrounded by hundreds of Holy Crystal Stones and thirty-six Sky Crystal Stones, evoking the sense of stars encircling the moon. It seemed like the sole entity in this small world, with everything revolving around it, not knowing for how many epochs!

"A dragon egg!" Huang Yi couldn’t help but exclaim.

He had discussed the strange aspects of this Golden Holy Dragon Treasure Spot with the White Dragon King long ago—the Treasure Spot would absorb the Life Essence of the Dragon Clan, and it was unclear what secrets it held. Back then, the White Dragon King had proposed two hypotheses.

One hypothesis was that it was a revival ritual for the Golden Holy Dragon, requiring the absorption of a massive amount of Life Essence from various dragons to achieve its resurrection!

The other hypothesis was that there was an egg of the Golden Holy Dragon in there; it needed to absorb a massive amount of Life Essence from the Dragon Clan to hatch!

And now, right before Huang Yi’s eyes, was unmistakably a Golden Holy Dragon egg!

What was the Golden Holy Dragon? It was one of the Three Great Top Dragon Clans. The Dragon Clan was the noblest among races, with varying strengths among its kind, and the Golden Holy Dragon was one of the pinnacle dragons—peak among peaks. Among the historical Ten Great Deity Sealers, there was even one who was a Golden Holy Dragon!

Up to this point in time, no one in the world had ever witnessed a Golden Holy Dragon. The only association with the Golden Holy Dragon was the world’s first assassin, Dragon Spike, whose body rumors said contained a mysterious Dragon Scale related to the Golden Holy Dragon. Besides this, no player had any relation to the Golden Holy Dragon, and there wasn’t even a video or screenshot of one to be found.

Such a high-level creature was far beyond the reach of players at the current stage. It was even uncertain whether there were any living Golden Holy Dragons left in this world. Such a pinnacle creature had an extremely low reproduction rate and could face extinction at any time. Huang Yi didn’t even know whether this Dragon Egg in front of him was possibly the last Golden Holy Dragon egg in The Second World!

Now, the biggest challenge facing Huang Yi was how to take away this dragon egg. This egg was clearly still incubating, a process that for such creatures could take thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Even if Huang Yi managed to obtain it, it might still be impossible for him to hatch.

Huang Yi squatted down and closely examined the hundreds of Holy Crystal Stones on the ground. Their aura was nowhere near as powerful as the ones he had just acquired from the Sand Thief King. It seemed a significant amount of their power had already been consumed. So many Holy Crystal Stones, including thirty-six Sky Crystal Stones, had all been prepared for the Golden Holy Dragon egg, but it still had not hatched, showing just how difficult it was to incubate this egg.

If it were handed to someone else, they wouldn’t be able to gather enough Holy Crystal Stones. Moreover, Huang Yi only had two Holy Crystal Stones himself! Now, his best course of action was to not disturb the egg and let it continue incubating within the formation. However, there was one thing he was quite suitable to do.

Being a member of the White Dragon Clan and having a close relationship with the Sea Dragon Clan, Huang Yi had some knowledge about dragon eggs. If he could familiarize the egg with a person’s scent before it hatched, then upon hatching, the dragon would inherently depend on that person.

With this thought, Huang Yi immediately produced a drop of his blood and sent it flying into the dragon egg, akin to a blood pact of ownership.

Instantly, the dragon egg absorbed Huang Yi’s blood like a sponge soaking up water.

"[System Prompt]: Due to your Nefalem’s Bloodline, the Golden Holy Dragon egg has absorbed your blood, triggering a special event and causing an unknown mutation."

The next moment, Huang Yi suddenly heard a system prompt!

He was slightly stunned; the dragon egg had already mutated before hatching! His Nefalem’s Bloodline was the most noble, and upon full growth, he would possess power surpassing both gods and demons. And since the Golden Holy Dragon was already extremely powerful, it was uncertain what changes the mutation would bring.

However, this system prompt made Huang Yi even more eager to incubate the egg. He decided to accelerate the process artificially and provide the dragon egg with the Essence of Life from the Dragon Clan.

Meanwhile, far away in Dragon City, Huang Yi’s original body immediately teleported out of the Tower of Pantheons, quickly left the city, and summoned the Two-Headed Lin, hurrying back towards the Golden Holy Dragon’s treasure spot once more.

After a long time, his original body finally arrived at the Golden Holy Dragon’s treasure spot.

The entrance of the Treasure Underground Palace was still open, revealing the Level Two Hundred barrier that trapped the Sand Thief King inside.

Huang Yi retracted the Two-Headed Lin and summoned a stronger Contract Partner—Barbarian God.

"Barbarian God, go guard the outside and do not let anyone enter this Underground Palace," Huang Yi ordered. He was confident in the Barbarian God’s strength; ordinary people would have no chance of breaking through its guard.

"Yes, Master!" the Barbarian God nodded, strode out of the Underground Palace confidently, and assumed a guardian stance at the entrance, exuding the aura of a one-man stronghold impervious to thousands.

With no further concerns, Huang Yi immediately summoned the Heroes’ Prison, stepped inside, and headed to the Stone Chamber where the keys were stored.

Countless keys were still dancing in the sky, leaving trails of golden light. Huang Yi didn’t select deliberately, he simply grabbed some keys and began inspecting them. He needed to find incarnations of criminals with Dragon Clan bloodlines to transfer their Essence of Life into the Golden Holy Dragon egg. The Essence of Life of the Dragon Clan was only present in living dragons, or those that had died recently; the ancient corpses in the morgue of the Heroes’ Prison were long devoid of such essence, at most they retained some residual conscious imprints, which were not suitable.

Twenty minutes later, after grasping countless keys, Huang Yi finally found one that met the criteria—

Sin Dragon Iron Tail (Level 103, Number 15737)

In the Near Ancient Period, this member of the Dragon Clan caused havoc in the Soul Pool of Death God’s Temple and was specifically captured and imprisoned for life.

Huang Yi immediately followed the map from the Book of Heroes to find the criminal’s cell.

What was revealed to Huang Yi was a dragon whose body was covered in dark green scales, each one tough like a metal plate, exuding a metallic sternness.

Upon seeing Huang Yi outside the door, it became agitated and pounced forward, frantically attacking the door like a crazed dragon.

This iron dragon, a member of the Dragon Clan’s metallic dragon branch, was more metallic in build than flesh, skilled in physical attacks and defense but considerably fearful of magic. Among such metal-like dragons, the Silver Dragon is the most well-known, ranking just below the three Great Top Dragon Clans such as the Golden Holy Dragon.

As for top-level dragon clans like the Golden Holy Dragon, they are referred to as All-Powerful Dragon Clan because they have reached top-level strength in all aspects, without any noticeable weaknesses.

Huang Yi immediately inserted the key and opened the cell door to 50%, which was the maximum strength that an incarnation could handle. No incarnation skills, including Huang Yi’s own avatars, could exceed 50% of the original body’s strength! (To be continued.
