Heroes' Prison

Chapter 772 - 736: Forming the Heavenly Realm Legion

The sound of the bird cry made countless members of the invading army turn pale once again!

Soon after, the announcement echoed once more across the heavens and earth—

"[Continental Announcement]: [Chile Legion] has withdrawn from Hero’s Continent’s National War."

"[Continental Announcement]: [Uruguay Legion] has withdrawn from Hero’s Continent’s National War."

The ranks of the invading army grew increasingly smaller as Huang Yi continued summoning one Heavenly Domain Guardian after another. T.N.T, Miyamoto Musashi, the Pope, and other super-first masters of the invading army grew more and more solemn.

Thirteen minutes later, Huang Yi stepped out of Heroes’ Prison for the third time. Emerging alongside him was a Heavenly Domain Magical Beast— the Bloodthirsty Tiger with Wings!

As this Heavenly Domain Magical Beast appeared, three consecutive announcements echoed across the heavens and earth—

"[Continental Announcement]: [Sweden Legion] has withdrawn from Hero’s Continent’s National War."

"[Continental Announcement]: [Portugal Legion] has withdrawn from Hero’s Continent’s National War."

"[Continental Announcement]: [Turkey Legion] has withdrawn from Hero’s Continent’s National War."

T.N.T, the Pope, and all the super-first masters felt their spirits hit rock bottom. Their worst fears were gradually coming true— Huang Yi appeared to really be able to summon Heavenly Domain Guardians without limit!

Eight minutes later, Huang Yi stepped out of Heroes’ Prison for the fourth time, accompanied by yet another Heavenly Domain Guardian!

This time, another five nations withdrew from Hero’s Continent’s National War!

The invading army showed signs of complete collapse, with this once-invincible force rapidly unraveling from within!

Despite Huang Yi having only recently joined the battlefield with his newly created legion, his accomplishments already outweighed the months-long efforts under the command of Desire Arises from the Heart during the national war!

If the Hero’s Continent had been shrouded in the shadow of defeat for months before, it was now undergoing a powerful reversal. The air of despair from prior losses was dissipating like smoke!

Comparing the war results of Desire Arises from the Heart and Huang Yi, one was marked by defeat, the other by victory; one had battled for months, the other for only a short while—a stark and undeniable contrast!

"Dear viewers, the situation for the invading army looks grim. The God of Slaughter appears to be able to endlessly summon Heavenly Domain Guardians—there seems to be no end in sight. The number of Heavenly Domain Guardians on Xuanyuan City’s side has already surpassed the War Spirits of the invading army. If the invaders cannot come up with any new contingencies, this massive invasion will turn into a laughingstock..." Some reporters quickly adjusted their tone based on the situation, shifting from predictions of Xuanyuan Clan’s downfall to doubts about the invading forces’ future.

"What do we do now? Are we really going to retreat?" At this moment, Kid, one of the United States’ super-first masters who had only recently joined the battlefield, turned to Ganges beside him and asked. He had been eager to achieve a grand accomplishment, but his first expedition had brought him directly into this dire scenario!

Ganges stroked his chin, nodded slightly, and said, "Personally, I think we should retreat. We need a new target, perhaps the Thunder God’s Sun Guild or Diesu Qiufeng’s Styx Sect Guild. Both are large guilds on Hero’s Continent with significant influence. Their main territories are far from the Hero Empire, meaning these Heavenly Domain Guardians won’t be able to assist them."

"Then let’s consult the opinions of the other leaders!" Kid said as he promptly messaged the other super-first masters to gather their thoughts.

Not long after, Kid received responses from the others and informed Ganges, "Those in favor of retreat include Heavenly Dao, Miyamoto Musashi, and Dante, who has just been resurrected. However, three others are against retreating, particularly T.N.T!"

"T.N.T? Could it be that he has some sort of trump card?" Ganges gazed toward the direction of Xuanyuan City’s South City Gate, as though trying to discern T.N.T’s potential next move.

...

Right now, the situation of the invading army had reached its most precarious moment. Their War Spirits could barely hold off Huang Yi’s Heavenly Domain Guardians—this was their absolute limit!

If Huang Yi summoned even just one more Heavenly Domain Guardian, this tenuous balance would be irreversibly broken. Even at the cost of their own lives, the War Spirits would no longer be able to contain the Guardians. At that point, the Guardians would decimate the invading players in a one-sided massacre!

"Killing those War Spirits is only a matter of time—move on to slaughter the players!" At this moment, Huang Yi once more emerged from Heroes’ Prison. He pointed toward the mass of invading players in the distance, addressing a Heavenly Domain Savage Bull bristling with spikes beside him.

"Understood, Your Majesty!" The Heavenly Domain Savage Bull responded in human speech and immediately charged toward the swarm of invading players.

As it ran, its body continually expanded, transforming into mountain-like proportions. Its powerful hooves pounded the ground with such force that the earth quaked violently, as if struck by a massive earthquake! Even Huang Yi and his two companions on the city wall found it difficult to stand firm amid the tremors.

This Heavenly Domain-level Magical Beast specialized in destruction. Though not particularly swift, it appeared overwhelmingly fast to the invaders observing from afar, thundering toward them like an unstoppable tidal wave of destruction.

"We can’t resist this! Retreat to the city, now!" Several legion commanders, seeing this, wasted no time in pulling ancient, earthy-brown scrolls from their storage rings and rapidly unfurling them!

In an instant, the members of these legions vanished without a trace, as though they had evaporated into thin air!

"Legion Return to City Scroll!" On the city wall, Lin Yiqin watched the legions disappearing one by one and sighed with a tinge of regret.

The scrolls used by the legion commanders, known as Legion Return to City Scrolls, were strategic resources similar to War Spirits. They required legion merit points to redeem but cost fewer points than the War Spirits, making them accessible to many commanders.

However, smaller legions were less fortunate. Lacking sufficient merit points, they had no Legion Return to City Scrolls and were now left to face the Heavenly Domain experts’ slaughter directly!

"Run!" These players reacted as though they had encountered the End of the World. Without waiting for orders from their leaders, they screamed and scattered in all directions. The scene descended into utter chaos as the army crumbled completely!

The Heavenly Domain Savage Bull’s colossal eyes looked down contemptuously at the players on the ground, who were no more than ants in its view. It lifted its massive leg—large as a small mountain—and stomped down with tremendous force!

"Boom!" In an instant, a vast area collapsed, as though the earth itself had caved in!

A colossal shockwave rippled outward, sweeping in every direction like a ferocious sandstorm, obliterating everything in its path!

Countless fleeing players, along with several reporters broadcasting live at the cost of their own lives, were flung backward by the shockwave as if dried leaves caught in a hurricane. They stood no chance of resisting!

Almost instantly, masses of players were reduced to corpses. Many viewers watching the livestream saw only the image shake violently before the signal was abruptly cut off.

The Savage Bull’s stomp had exterminated countless players, leaving only a few with life-preserving abilities barely clinging to survival. However, even they wouldn’t last long.

In that moment, a massive amount of merit points flooded into the Hero Legion!

The merit points for kills made by the Guardians were attributed to the Hero Legion! Almost immediately, the newly-created legion amassed considerable resources, its rate of accruing merit points utterly terrifying!

Meanwhile, on the city wall, Huang Yi, Yun Sihai, and Lin Yiqin fixed their gazes on the hazy, smoke-covered distance.

The Heavenly Domain Savage Bull’s earlier devastation had kicked up a thick cloud of dust, obscuring their vision of the battlefield. But judging from the earthshaking tremors emanating from within, the scene there was one of unimaginable catastrophe.

"God of Slaughter, if only you had joined the battlefield earlier, Hero’s Continent would’ve already claimed victory—we wouldn’t have been in constant retreat like this!" Yun Sihai said with a sudden sigh.

Huang Yi shook his head and tightened his grip on the golden scepter in his hand, replying, "It’s not that I was unwilling. If I had joined months ago, I wouldn’t have been able to summon these Heavenly Domain Guardians. I only gained the ability to summon them after reaching a Holy Domain Rank of level 100. Even now, I can only summon primary-level Heavenly Domain experts. All the Guardians you see are at the Primary Sky Domain Power level. Furthermore, back then, the preconditions for the Imperial Jade Seal hadn’t been met yet—they were only completed a few days ago."

"In any case, at least our current legion is now capable of competing with Desire Arises from the Heart’s legion. You can absolutely contend for the position of supreme commander! Their side has nothing but numbers—no super-first masters! But our side brims with limitless hope. No doubt, more guilds will follow our lead in leaving Desire Arises from the Heart’s legion and joining the Hero Legion," Lin Yiqin said optimistically, a faint smile gracing his face.

Looking at it now, their departure from Desire Arises from the Heart’s legion might not have been a bad decision. If Hero’s Continent emerged victorious, the Hero Legion could even surpass the Desire Legion in merit points, reaping the system’s post-war rewards!

"Boom!" At that moment, a sudden and unprecedented sound erupted from the area where the Heavenly Domain Savage Bull had been!

Huang Yi and the others hurriedly turned their attention—

At once, they saw a massive, mountain-like figure hurtling toward them with immense force!

Soon, the enormous form crashed heavily into the ground, gouging a deep trench as it skidded before coming to a halt, motionless and its condition uncertain!

When the three finally discerned the figure’s identity, their expressions changed drastically!

It was none other than the earlier Heavenly Domain Savage Bull, now lying seemingly lifeless!

The Savage Bull was a Primary Sky Domain Power-level expert—yet it had been sent flying! Could an even stronger, unparalleled master have emerged from within the dust cloud?

The three immediately fixed their gaze on the dense, chaotic smoke. The gray haze obscured whatever lay within, leaving them unable to discern what was happening!

But the more unknown it was, the more terrifying it became!
