Heroes' Prison

Chapter 794 - 755: Sea Dragon Emperor Appears

Just moments ago, Andrew, the captain of the Ganges Fleet, had greedily declared his plans to launch a surprise attack on Hero Harbor, taking over the warships of the Hero Fleet. But now, the tide of the battlefield had shifted dramatically, and it seemed their ships were about to be claimed by Huang Yi instead!

"God of Slaughter, are you still dreaming? Your delusional talk is a bit too arrogant, isn’t it?" Ganges laughed furiously, his gaze fixed on the massive tsunami behind him. His five fingers curled into a claw, green light blooming from his grasp, and soon a Priest’s Staff glowing with verdant radiance appeared in his hand!

As soon as this Priest’s Staff materialized, it felt as though the entire world gained a focal point. The pitch-black night sky seemed infused with vitality, the wild ocean waves appeared to welcome a ray of hope!

This Priest’s Staff had a unique appearance, resembling a freshly plucked tree branch. Each of its green leaves glimmered with crystalline dew that seemed ready to drip any moment.

This branch was Ganges’ signature Treasure! It had a significant origin—it was the youngest and most tender branch of the legendary World Tree!

The World Tree, from the Primordial Era, was a towering, sky-piercing tree personally planted by the God of Life from the Divine Realm. It connected The Second World to the unreachable Heaven Realm. Renowned across all worlds in the cosmos, from the First World and Third World to the Auroyass World and Blood Map World, its fame was unmatched.

Yi Tian, the first God Sealer of The Second World—Desolate God Split Heaven—had ascended directly to the Divine Realm by climbing the World Tree and successfully achieved Divine Enthronement.

Unfortunately, this immense tree was severely damaged during a war in the Primordial Era, when the King of Annihilation, Battle Skull, used his Axe of Destruction, one of the Eight Great Demonic Instruments from the conflict involving the Seven Archdemons.

Later in the Primordial Era, the Sword Emperor and Blade Emperor engaged in a titanic duel atop the World Tree. Already gravely weakened from its previous injuries, the tree was utterly destroyed during that battle. Both combatants absorbed a portion of the World Tree’s essence and ultimately ascended to godhood.

After the Sword Emperor and Blade Emperor’s battle, only two seeds and one tender branch remained of the World Tree. One seed flew to the Auroyass World, becoming a star in its cosmic firmament. The second seed landed in the Melva World, transforming into a colossal underwater tree. As for the branch, it is now held in Ganges’ hand!

The World Tree had already become legend, but Ganges was holding a fragment of that legend. He had every reason for pride. In this national war, the Ganges Legion had maintained the lowest casualty rate of all legions, largely thanks to this branch.

Currently, Ganges’ power was merely at the Holy Domain Rank, unable to fully utilize the branch’s might. However, within this beast tide, it was more than enough to protect his fleet.

At this moment, Ganges raised the branch in his hand and lightly waved it toward the sky!

Instantly, emerald light burst forth in the pitch-black heavens, dazzling like auroras that illuminated the night. From the heavy storm clouds, drops of radiant green rain began to fall—rain teeming with vitality.

This rain spread over a vast area, drenching the entire Ganges Fleet. Each black warship, upon being soaked by this rain, became enshrouded in a gentle green glow and surged forward faster in the darkness.

At this moment, every warship and all the players aboard were enveloped in a formidable protective state. Within the Rain of Life, damage inflicted upon them was greatly reduced, while their defense, regeneration, and movement speed attributes rose significantly.

Ganges reluctantly withdrew the branch of the World Tree from his hand, a faint look of distress crossing his face—it was evident the cost of conjuring the Rain of Life had been considerable.

However, the effect was remarkably significant; at least now they no longer feared Huang Yi as much.

Shrouded in green radiance, the Ganges Fleet retreated with greater speed, gradually widening the distance from the surging beast tide behind them! At this rate, their escape seemed entirely possible!

"Boom!" At this moment, a massive tsunami suddenly surged from the front of the fleet! The towering waves reached the sky, blotting out the sun and completely blocking the Ganges Fleet’s path!

From within this monstrous wave, a golden figure suddenly burst forth from the depths of the sea, soaring into the air!

He had the head of a dragon and the body of a man, clad in a magnificent golden Dragon Robe, with a Dragon Pearl Crown atop his head and a golden Scepter in hand. His regal presence exuded the aura of an Emperor, as if he were the ruler of the heavens and earth!

This figure was none other than the Sea Dragon Emperor!

He had come to assist Huang Yi in dealing with the Ganges Fleet! Since his previous battle with the Demon Clan, he had been recuperating from injuries. Though not fully healed, he was still capable of action.

"Who are you?" Ganges gazed at the figure, his face instantly filling with gravitas. The branch of the World Tree that had been returned to his storage ring was immediately summoned back into his grasp.

"I am the master of this sea!" The Sea Dragon Emperor’s dignified voice reverberated across the heavens, his Celestial Realm power spreading unreservedly, engulfing the surroundings.

"Ganges, you’ve come to the wrong place!" At this moment, Huang Yi’s familiar form also soared up from beneath the ocean, ascending high into the air and standing side by side with the Sea Dragon Emperor. His hands were empty, no weapon drawn, yet the pressure he emanated was undiminished.

"God of Slaughter!" Ganges’ eyes locked tightly on Huang Yi, his grip on the branch of the World Tree tightening instinctively.

Andrew, the captain of the fleet, looked at Huang Yi in the skies, his gaze flickering with cruelty. He immediately issued an order to the fleet, "All ships, open fire on the God of Slaughter! I want a photo with his corpse as my prize!"

As his words fell, the mobile turrets mounted on the decks of the ships swiftly adjusted their angles. Each blackened cannon barrel aimed at Huang Yi, their interiors glowing fiercely as terrifying Magic Cannon energy was condensed, radiating an ominous aura!

At this moment, the Sea Dragon Emperor, noticing the ships preparing to fire upon them, grasped his golden Sea-Calming Divine Staff tightly and gently waved it toward the vast waters below.

Instantly, the ocean waters below responded to the Divine Staff’s call, transforming into ferocious water dragons that roared and snarled, charging furiously at the warships of the Ganges Fleet!

The mobile turrets on the warship decks, originally locked onto Huang Yi, were struck forcefully by these water dragons. The tremendous impact caused their barrels to twist away from their targets, now aiming at other ships within the fleet!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" At that very moment, the energy condensed within the cannons reached its peak, unleashing magnificent explosions that tore through the darkness and rain, illuminating the night like a spectacular fireworks display!

The explosions erupted within the fleet’s formation, devastating their own ships in a brutal internal assault!

Immediately, the fleet’s formation was thrown into chaos. Jets of seawater erupted, soaring high into the skies, as massive waves crashed down. The air seemed drenched with a torrential downpour of ocean water!

Fortunately, the green glow surrounding the warships successfully absorbed much of the damage, preventing major losses. However, the green light’s intensity dimmed noticeably under the bombardment.

"Damn it!" Ganges cursed loudly upon seeing this situation, his voice filled with anguish. He frantically raised the branch of the World Tree, wielding its power desperately to restore and strengthen the green glow over his fleet.

The Sea Dragon Emperor’s Sea-Calming Divine Staff struck out repeatedly, commanding an endless surge of ocean waters to launch fierce assaults on the fleet!

Ganges fought back with all his might, channeling the power of the branch to shield his fleet, creating a delicate equilibrium between their forces.

After a prolonged bombardment, the Sea Dragon Emperor finally frowned. No matter how aggressively he attacked, the green light emanating from Ganges’ branch replenished itself endlessly, nullifying his efforts.

"God of Slaughter, weren’t you just boasting we couldn’t leave unscathed? Why can’t you take us down now?" At this moment, Andrew, captain of the Ganges Fleet, let out a mocking laugh, venting his frustrations. "You’d better watch out—sooner or later your Hero Harbor will be reduced to rubble by my fleet, and your warships will become part of my fleet! This time, you’ve offended us, and we’ll repay you tenfold in the future!"

Huang Yi ignored Andrew and turned to the Sea Dragon Emperor. "You really can’t break through this?" he asked.

The Sea Dragon Emperor nodded, his dragon eyes focused intently on the green light emanating from Ganges’ branch. "That branch he holds is too powerful—even stronger than my Sea-Calming Divine Staff. And my injuries haven’t healed yet, so I can’t unleash my full power. It’s unlikely I can shatter his protective green light."

"How about adding this?" Huang Yi asked, flipping his palm to reveal an object.

This was a dazzling blue crystal, diamond-shaped with sharp points on both ends. In the darkness, it gleamed brilliantly, instantly drawing all eyes.

"Hmm? That aura feels so familiar!" The Sea Dragon Emperor immediately turned his head, his dragon eyes fixed tightly on the crystal, his expression revealing surprise!

Huang Yi handed the crystal to the Sea Dragon Emperor. "This is a fragment of the Divine Artifact, the Pillar of the Sea God. It shares the same origin as the Sea-Calming Divine Staff. If fused into your staff, its power should be greatly enhanced."

This crystal was, in fact, a Divine Artifact Fragment that Huang Yi had acquired earlier that day. Without having decided on its use yet, he had kept it in his storage ring—now, it had found its purpose!
