Heroes' Prison

Chapter 720 - 689: Promotion to Epic

This Level 185 Guardian, after using this skill, had his strength soar by a large margin, far surpassing Huang Yi—it seemed to be a continuous fury skill.

Moreover, the Guardian’s skill moved with him, the light pillar that connected to the bright moon seemed like a tube transferring energy, continuously supplying him with energy to support his battle expenditure.

"Last Stand!" Huang Yi decisively activated his life-saving skill, remaining undying for ten seconds.

He looked up at the light pillar connecting the Guardian and the moon, frowning slightly. Continuing like this was no solution, he couldn’t withstand the Guardian’s post-fury state, and it was very possible that he would be killed by the Guardian once the ten seconds were up. The wisest choice now seemed to be to run.

But giving up like this made him feel somewhat unwilling. This Guardian had self-recovery skills, and not attacking for a while would lead the enemy to use their health regeneration skill to return to full health, making all of today’s efforts in vain. Moreover, the Level 195 Guardian would break the Dark Seal and return tomorrow. Facing the attack from both the Level 195 and Level 185 Guardians together then would be unimaginable.

Time ticked by, and Huang Yi pondered whether to use his major skills or contemplate other methods.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, as a huge cloud drifted over, slightly covering the moonlight. The light pillar on the Guardian that connected to the moon seemed affected, the moonlight transmitted was greatly reduced, and the Guardian’s strength was also impacted, no longer as formidable as before.

Seeing this, Huang Yi’s eyes lit up—the opponent’s skill was actually influenced by the clouds. If the moonlight was blocked, it was equivalent to breaking the enemy’s skill!

With this thought, he did not hesitate to initiate Judgment on the Guardian!

In an instant, the sky grew dim, the heavens filled with dense clouds, completely obscuring the moonlight!

The light pillar on the Guardian disappeared without a trace, with no moonlight penetrating the cloud layer and shining upon him!

"Boom!" A thick bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the dark clouds, splitting into three and drawing the Guardian, Huang Yi, and an incarnation from the other end of the city into the high sky of the Void Battlefield.

This time, it was a true battle of life and death!

Huang Yi had hesitated to pass Judgment on the Guardian before, but now, he had finally made up his mind!

Upon entering the Void Battlefield, Huang Yi’s attack power surged by 20%! This was the improvement he had made to the Judgment skill after his First Transformation into an executioner.

And after his Second Transformation into the Tyrant Enforcer, the Judgment skill also improved—if the enemy’s status level surpassed his own, it would ignore one status level of the enemy. This Level 185 Guardian was at the top Holy Domain Rank. Originally Huang Yi was at an advanced Holy Domain, but after the augmentation from Martial Saint, he too had become a top Holy Domain Expert, equal to the opponent, thus this effect did not come into play.

"Damn it! You actually blocked my moonlight!" The Level 185 Guardian, unable to feel the power of the moonlight, suddenly roared in anger and pain, swinging his scimitar and charging furiously at Huang Yi!

But deprived of the power infused by the moonlight, his strength returned to normal, and with only 30% health remaining, he was in an injured state, nowhere near as powerful as at his peak.

In contrast, Huang Yi in the Void Battlefield had some increase in attack power, and he had also dragged over an incarnation to help, significantly boosting his overall strength.

Huang Yi urged Little Dragon into action, a subtle flap of its two pairs of wings leaving a golden trajectory in the sky as he faced the Guardian head-on.

"Heavy Judgment!" Huang Yi’s attack was both fast and fierce. The Level 185 Guardian couldn’t dodge in time and was solidly hit!

Moreover, Huang Yi’s attack power was exceptionally strong when his health was at its lowest, and his critical hit rate had greatly increased. This time, his Heavy Judgment scored a critical hit!

After his Second Transformation, all his attributes increased by 30%, and his critical hit effect additionally went up by 50%. His total critical hit effect had long surpassed 300%, meaning he achieved three times the normal effect on a critical hit!

Being one of Huang Yi’s most damaging skills, Heavy Judgment contained three times the attack power, and the Critical Damage Rune further boosted it by 30%. The impact of Huang Yi’s critical hit was extremely terrifying, striking the Guardian so hard that he spat out a large mouthful of blood and was sent flying backwards!

Huang Yi and Little Dragon beat their wings, swiftly chasing after and entangling the enemy, unleashing their full power in the assault. Tons of damage poured crazily onto the Guardian, along with a variety of negative statuses; immobilization, blinding, slowdown, bleeding, etc., exacerbating the Guardian’s dire situation.

Thus, the Guardian grew weaker and weaker, his injuries deeper and his chances to resist fewer. Death was only a matter of time.

"Puff!" Finally, the Guardian’s body convulsed violently as Huang Yi’s Bloodstained War Halberd plunged inside him, his life force instantly scattering to nothingness, leaving behind a corpse.

The Void Battlefield dissipated, and Huang Yi was seen, holding the corpse of the Guardian, gently floating down from the sky. The dark clouds swiftly dispersed, and the pure moonlight once again poured down, casting a silhouette like that of a Heavenly God descending to earth.

The reporters watched him in silence, unable to utter a single word. The Guardian of level 185 was impaled on Huang Yi’s war halberd, slowly descending from the giant moon... The visual shock was too intense!

Having slain the war soul of level 185, Huang Yi once again stood invincible in Northern Sea City, with no one able to suppress him. And the only level 195 Guardian capable of killing him, wouldn’t return until tomorrow, leaving him more than ten hours to do as he pleased.

Huang Yi quietly looked at the corpse of the level 185 Guardian. The reason he had used a normal attack to kill him instead of Heavy Judgment was to preserve his corpse, making it convenient to absorb it into his war soul as a Soul Spirit.

His last visit to the Dragon Tomb had seen him slay a multitude of high-level and top-level Magical Beasts, his war soul now boasting only soul spirits above level 170. This Guardian, being level 185, would provide a considerable boost.

Huang Yi immediately extended his hand and pressed it onto the body of the level 185 Guardian!

Instantly, a white mist was extracted from the corpse, taking on the Guardian’s visage from when he was alive, representative of his departed soul.

Huang Yi absorbed it into his body, replacing one of the soul spirits that was over level 170. His war soul bonuses were immediately strengthened, gaining an extra 2% in Attack and 1% in Defense.

Now, all that was left of the Guardian was a mass of blood essence! And the second condition for the advancement of Huang Yi’s Legendary Pants, Godslayer’s Star, to Epic was precisely to absorb the blood essence of a Holy Domain Warrior of level 180 or higher!

Huang Yi immediately chose to absorb the mass of blood essence into the Legendary Pants.

In a flash, streams of blood-red light rose from the Guardian’s corpse into his pants, tinting them with a more ferocious and bloodthirsty appearance than before.

Before long, the Guardian’s body had been completely drained, the blood essence wholly absorbed into Huang Yi’s Legendary Pants.

"[System Prompt]: Godslayer’s Star has met the second condition for becoming Epic. The third condition is the absorption of 20 Holy Crystal Stones."

And there came the third condition!

For others, it was uncertain how long it would take to gather 20 Holy Crystal Stones. But Huang Yi had previously slain the Sand Thief King, an emperor who had reigned over the Desolate Sands for several eras, amassing incalculable wealth, including dozens of Holy Crystal Stones.

He immediately took out 20 Holy Crystal Stones and allowed Godslayer’s Star to absorb them. After absorbing the Holy Scripture Stones, the aura of the pants grew increasingly intense. Ancient characters began to emerge on the armor, reminiscent of the ancient epics that educated the masses, telling tales of the changes of the times and the eternal landscape.

Finally, after all 20 Holy Crystal Stones had been absorbed, Godslayer’s Star suddenly underwent a sort of sublimation and turned into a mass of Blood Qi, losing its shape!

An equipment piece being reduced to formless Blood Qi was an unheard-of transformation!

Yet Huang Yi could clearly feel that the Legendary Pants were indeed an equipment piece, still worn on his body and the attribute bonuses remained effective. However, their form had suddenly changed to a mass of Blood Qi. This Blood Qi enveloped his lower body, casting him in a savage and bloodthirsty light, as though he stood amidst an endless mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

In that moment, within the brilliant starry sky, a celestial phenomenon abruptly occurred! The bright Cyan Star suddenly shot down a cyan light pillar, piercing through the vast Star River and striking straight into the Second World, descending upon Godslayer’s Star atop Huang Yi!

This cyan light connected heaven and earth, ceaselessly channeling the cyan starlight into Godslayer’s Star! The red Blood Qi began to mingle with bits of cyan light, constantly flickering, transforming it into a nebular mass filled with the mysteries of the universe.

The reporters, upon witnessing this spectacle, fell into stunned silence. In just a matter of days, Huang Yi had induced such a Heavenly Phenomenon for the second time.

They began to narrate in a murmur, "Dear viewers, after killing the level 185 Guardian and absorbing his blood essence, Godslayer has once again triggered a Moonlight Infusion! Moreover, it is the Cui Guang of the Cyan Star, indicating another piece of his equipment has become Epic! It seems that after every battle, Godslayer’s strength increases to some extent. We can never predict how strong his power truly is, for as long as there is battle, he will continue to grow stronger..."

Finally, the cyan light pillar that connected to the starry sky faded away, completing the infusion, and Huang Yi received the long-awaited system prompt—

"[System Prompt]: Godslayer’s Star has ascended to Epic Equipment."

This was his second piece of Epic Equipment! His strength was bound to ascend yet again due to this Epic piece, solidifying his already unrivaled power!

If his growth continued at this pace, there would be no point for other players in the Second World to play—the imbalance was devastating! (To be continued.
