Heroes' Prison

Chapter 783 - 747 Another Heavenly Domain Guardian

This fragment is relatively small and cannot be used on its own. Its primary uses are twofold: one is to integrate it into equipment to enhance the equipment’s attributes. This effect is similar to an "Epic Sphere," upgrading a piece of Legendary Equipment to Epic Equipment.

The other use is to integrate it into the body directly to enhance oneself. That dragon fish used this method, integrating the fragment into its body and boosting its power.

Huang Yi has yet to decide which option to choose, so he temporarily stored it in his storage ring, planning to deal with it later when needed.

He held the golden bead and returned to the Cloud Sail Battleship, handing it to the Tidal Calling Siren Princess. "This is the Dragon Ball you mentioned, right? Here, take it!"

"Yes! This is the Dragon Ball!" The Tidal Calling Siren Princess excitedly reached out to receive the golden bead, brought it to her nose, and took a deep inhale, her stunning face full of delight.

"After so many years, I can finally ascend to the Heavenly Domain level!" The Tidal Calling Siren Princess exclaimed in excitement, then swallowed the Dragon Ball.

The Dragon Ball melted the moment it entered her mouth. Without even chewing, it naturally transformed into a stream of golden liquid, rushing from her mouth into her limbs and meridians.

Immediately afterward, the Tidal Calling Siren Princess’s body began to writhe dramatically. Her tail, originally vibrant with five colors, started to evolve into six, with a golden hue added—a shade akin to the golden dragon scales of the dragon fish—looking indestructible and majestic.

At that moment, a golden light wave surged from the Tidal Calling Siren Princess’s body, radiating in all directions and enveloping the visible sea region!

Suddenly, this blood-red ocean roiled intensely, triggering an extraordinary phenomenon. Countless illusory dragon fish leapt skyward from the depths of the sea!

A thousand fish surged! The scene was monumental, resembling the moment a fishing net is pulled aboard a ship, with countless fish springing up—but now, the entire sea presented this spectacle! It was as if all were pilgrimaging toward the Tidal Calling Siren Princess!

Such heavenly phenomena often accompany ascension to the Heavenly Domain level. The grandeur of the phenomenon varies based on the individual’s cumulative strength. When the Undead Flying Dragon ascended, it triggered a phenomenon of a golden dragon coiling in the sky—an event born of deep accumulation of power.

The phenomenon caused by the Tidal Calling Siren Princess today is equally magnificent, signifying her substantial buildup of strength. After all, she has been an ancient figure stuck at the peak of the Holy Domain for countless years. Her current explosive breakthrough is far from surprising.

After a while, the endless dragon fish illusions finally dispersed, and the ocean returned to calm.

At this time, the Tidal Calling Siren Princess exuded a presence far superior to before. The scales on her body had completely transformed into six colors, with the newly-added golden scales imparting an air of nobility and grandeur.

"God of Slaughter, thank you!" The Tidal Calling Siren Princess glanced at her radiant scales, her face glowing with joy, and sincerely expressed her gratitude to Huang Yi.

"Congratulations on ascending to the Heavenly Domain level!" Huang Yi nodded with a smile. Now that the Tidal Calling Siren Princess has advanced to the Heavenly Domain level, her range of perception for Divine Artifact Fragments will surely expand, significantly improving her efficiency in locating them!

"Let’s keep moving! Tidal Calling Siren Princess, now that you’ve ascended to the Heavenly Domain level and your strength has increased tremendously, control the Deep Sea Demon Flesh’s tentacles!" Huang Yi instructed.

The Tidal Calling Siren Princess immediately raised her hand and effortlessly manipulated a massive stream of seawater, slamming it heavily into one of the Deep Sea Demon Flesh’s towering tentacles.

The Deep Sea Demon Flesh seemed to endure a harsh stimulus, speeding forward like rapid lightning, carrying them swiftly toward the Central Continent.

In no time, they vanished beyond the horizon, leaving behind tidal waves spreading outward in all directions.

What followed was a continuous journey and treasure hunting.

...

On the other side of Hero’s Continent, Huang Yi stood by the window in Dragon Capital City Hall, gazing over his empire.

Behind him, Zu Zaiyu watched his back and reported some intelligence: "Our scouts have brought word—the Invading Army plans to use the previous dispersal tactics again. Each Super-First Master will lead an Allied Army to invade different locations. Currently, they have eight Super-First Masters, planning to attack eight places simultaneously."

"Have their attack targets been determined?" Huang Yi touched his chin and asked.

"For now, we’ve identified the targets of four armies. The Pope’s Heaven Army is targeting the Styx Sect Guild’s Wolf Mountain Territory; Miyamoto Musashi’s Martial Arts Legion is aiming for the Hall of Famous Generals’ sub-territory, Chaisang City; the Ganges fleet—the strongest—is preparing to circle around to the northern coast of Hero’s Continent to bombard coastal cities, potentially including our Hero Harbor; Fuchan Fenrao, leading her Indonesian Army, plans to assault the Sun Guild’s Flying Dragon Island sub-territory," Zu Zaiyu replied.

Listening to these locations, Huang Yi deduced some of the Invading Army’s strategies. After their failed assault on the Xuanyuan Guild, they have indeed grown cautious. These four armies have selected targets far from the Hero Empire, executing a dispersed attack approach. Even if Huang Yi intervened, he could only focus on one place, making their defense somewhat passive.

"So, are we mobilizing the Hero Legion on a large scale?" Zu Zaiyu bit her thin lips and asked while staring at Huang Yi’s back.

"No, we won’t mobilize troops!" Huang Yi shook his head.

"Not mobilizing troops?" Zu Zaiyu was slightly startled and frowned. "Are you suggesting we won’t resist, allowing their attacks?"

"Not mobilizing troops doesn’t mean not taking action." Huang Yi shook his head again. "If additional armies join them, then we will dispatch troops. But if only these four armies attack, there’s no need to mobilize. Right now, Thunder God is prepared. If they strike Heaven’s Guild, the Pope will inevitably retreat hastily back to the American Continent, relieving our side of significant pressure; as for Miyamoto Musashi and the Ganges fleet, we have countermeasures—merely revealing a few hidden cards will suffice. As for Fuchan Fenrao, I’ll handle it personally."

"Personally? But isn’t your physical self heading toward the Central Continent? How will you intervene?" Zu Zaiyu was slightly confused.

"You’ll find out when the time comes," Huang Yi answered without elaborating. For now, he has strategies to repel all four armies’ plans. However, the Invading Army has a total of eight Super-First Masters, and the plans of the other four armies remain unknown.

"Big Brother, I’ve always had a question." Zu Zaiyu hesitated momentarily before biting her lips to speak.

"What question?"

"If the Pope hadn’t initially invaded Hero’s Continent, would you still have destroyed Heaven’s Guild? Otherwise, all your efforts setting up the battlefield would go to waste."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yi didn’t immediately answer. Instead, he looked at Zu Zaiyu and asked her a question: "Do you know why our organization fights?"

"Because there are enemies," Zu Zaiyu answered without hesitation.

"No, it’s because there are loved ones," Huang Yi countered, shaking his head. He then gazed at Xiao Chunzi in his arms and said, "We fight not because there are enemies, but because there are loved ones. Whether it was my destruction of Wind Forest Stronghold, slaughtering 300,000 players in Dragon City, or waging war on the Land of Dongying, every time I created conflict, it was because my family was threatened. If Qin Shiyu hadn’t been captured by Miyamoto Musashi, I wouldn’t have gone to the Land of Dongying to kill their people."

Saying this, he shifted his gaze to Zu Zaiyu: "If the Pope hadn’t initiated this war of nations, we would have no grudge against him—why would we target him? If you solely wish to test the sharpness of your blade and start killing innocent people arbitrarily, then we’d be no different from the enemies we vow to fight against. So, when dealing with those who have no grudge against us, sheathe your sword. Whether it’s sharp or not, you should know—there’s no need to find an excuse to unsheathe it."

"Of course, if a feud has already begun, then there’s no holding back! We’re not saints, after all."

...

The Invading Army’s offensive came faster than anticipated!

That evening, they launched a fierce assault on Hero’s Continent once again! This time, a total of four Super-First Masters led six Allied Armies to strike in unison!

Among the battles, two theaters stood out as the most perilous.

The first was where the Pope himself was stationed. His forces were the most formidable, combining Heaven’s Guild and Heaven’s Church, forming the largest congregation in the world. Moreover, a dozen other national armies followed his lead. They struck with lightning speed at the Styx Sect Guild’s Wolf Mountain Sub-Territory!

Although the Styx Sect Guild was thoroughly prepared, facing the Pope’s Invading Army proved tremendously challenging! Guild leader Diesu Qiufeng had already drawn reinforcements from the Desire Legion to stabilize the situation temporarily, but the outlook remained grim over time.

The second precarious battleground was led by Miyamoto Musashi’s forces, targeting the Hall of Famous Generals’ Chaisang City. Since losing the port city of Red Cliffs City, the Hall of Famous Generals had been significantly weakened and demoted to a second-tier guild. This time, they were struggling fiercely, with reinforcements from the Desire Legion offering limited relief. It seemed Chaisang City’s fall was only a matter of time.

Currently, these two critical battlegrounds had affected members aligned with the Desire Legion. The Hero Legion’s positioning became significantly intriguing.

Many speculated whether the Hero Legion would stand idly by. Numerous television networks invited analysts to speculate on Huang Yi’s next move. (To be continued.
