Heroes' Prison

Chapter 867 - 820: The First Heavenly Realm Player (Part 2)

The Ganges moved swiftly, quickly adding a layer of green light to the Chess Saint, and scolded loudly: "In front of Dao Feng, you dare to get distracted killing enemies? Don’t you value your life?"

The Chess Saint’s face turned crimson, and he dared not speak again, instead continuing to dodge Dao Feng’s attacks with all his strength, abandoning his attempts to kill enemies.

Miyamoto Musashi also admonished him firmly: "Chess Saint, saving your life is the priority for now. Hold on until Heavenly Dao and Dante arrive, and we’ll win! Yang Yuheng is only Level 198 and can’t catch up to you!"

Miyamoto Musashi spoke with unshakable confidence, completely unaware that Huang Yi possessed a Level 199 Demon Core.

Huang Yi had seized that Level 199 Demon Core from the Half-Beastmen, Hanging Ghost’s group, keeping the event hidden from public view. The Half-Beastmen, feeling humiliated about losing the Boss to Huang Yi—a mere individual—decided not to post the incident on the forums. As a result, outsiders were unaware that Huang Yi held the Level 199 Demon Core.

This lagging information formed an invisible advantage for Huang Yi and his allies, causing the Invading Army to make erroneous judgments. Even the smallest mistake could trigger a butterfly effect, ultimately leading to catastrophic consequences.

"Crack!" Finally, the sound of glass shattering rang out from all corners of the battlefield!

The deadly battle formation that had enveloped the battlefield for three hours shattered and vanished into the air.

From now on, players on Hero’s Continent could no longer forcefully resurrect after dying—they would have to respawn at the nearest Night Rain City and run back onto the battlefield. This process would waste substantial time, diminishing their numerical dominance in the war.

"Boom!" At this exact moment, a fierce rumble erupted from the distant edges of the battlefield!

Everyone quickly turned their heads to look, abruptly spotting a mighty figure engaged in a massacre far away.

Mounted on a massive warhorse like a small mountain plowing through the battlefield, the man held a thick book in his hands, reciting poetic verses aloud. His sonorous voice echoed across the scene, exuding an air of literary grace.

This individual was none other than the United States’ newly ascended super first-class master—Dante!

Meanwhile, soldiers continuously surged down a hill behind him like a tidal wave, flooding the battlefield in droves, their numbers seemingly endless.

In the critical moment, Dante and Heavenly Dao finally arrived, leading their grand army into battle.

Their forces comprised legions from over ten countries, vast and spectacular, easily overshadowing the Hero Legion.

With reinforcements, the Invading Army grew ferociously aggressive, forcing the Hero Legion into retreat step by step!

"It’s done—we’ve won!" Miyamoto Musashi, seeing this, immediately relaxed and prematurely declared victory.

The Ganges revealed a smile as well. With Dante and Heavenly Dao present, they could entirely protect the Chess Saint, allowing him to safely reach Level Two Hundred. Their victory seemed assured.

"Dante, let’s go protect the Chess Saint! We now hold an absolute advantage and don’t need to bother with Yang Yuheng anymore. He’s just Level 198 and can’t catch up!" Heavenly Dao said casually, showing complete disregard for Yang Yuheng.

Dante pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright! I’ll head over right away. But first, I’ll assign some troops to harass Yang Yuheng."

With that, Dante charged in Yang Yuheng’s direction.

Among the forces Dante and Heavenly Dao brought was the Latin American Allied Army, consisting of soldiers from several Latin American nations. The legion’s commander was known as the "Guardian Deity."

At that moment, the "Guardian Deity" looked up at the Void Battlefield above, grinned, then sent a message: "Brother Yi, I’m here!"

Within the Void Battlefield, Huang Yi, still in Void State, swiftly replied, "Guide Dante to protect the Chess Saint, and instruct your men to deliberately feed kills to Yang Yuheng."

"Got it, Brother Yi!" The Guardian Deity responded and promptly began executing the plan.

Desire Arises from the Heart collaborated with the Invaders, while Huang Yi worked with his Rose Prison comrades to ensure victory in the national war.

Many within the Invading Army were deliberately placed by Huang Yi—members from the Rose Prison—such as the Sate Legion and North Africa Legion from last time. Their mission was to feign assaults on Hero’s Continent while achieving no significant results, then subvert enemy strategies during crucial moments to support Huang Yi’s plans!

The Latin American Army comprised soldiers from multiple nations; among them, only its commander, the Guardian Deity, along with a few high-ranking members, were secretly part of Rose Prison. Most remaining soldiers were genuine invaders.

At this point, the Guardian Deity approached Dante’s massive figure, wearing a genial smile: "Brother Dante, you should go assist the Chess Saint! Leave Yang Yuheng to us. Our army has people who possess trump cards capable of killing him instantly."

Dante was slightly shocked: "Oh? You have a special killer move against Yang Yuheng? Very well, leave him to you then! I trust your abilities. I’ll head to protect the Chess Saint and take down Dao Feng!" He had initially intended to assign troops against Yang Yuheng, but seeing the Guardian Deity volunteer, he readily agreed.

Afterward, Dante turned his mount and charged toward the Chess Saint.

The Guardian Deity watched Dante’s departing figure with a subtle smirk, then issued an order to his legion: "Everyone stop fighting, don’t waste time on attacks—follow me instead! We’re going to kill Yang Yuheng and steal the glory!"

"Finally, we’re going to do something big! We’ve invaded Hero’s Continent for so long without any tangible success. Today marks the turning point!"

"Once Yang Yuheng is down, we can capture Night Rain City and seize its treasures!"

Instantly, enthusiasm ran high within the legion. Most soldiers were unaware their commander belonged to Huang Yi’s faction and genuinely believed they were headed to reap considerable profits.

Soon, the Guardian Deity led his massive forces to Yang Yuheng’s side.

Feigning chaos, he issued misleading orders, instructing his troops to throw their lives away against Yang Yuheng. While appearing to battle fiercely, they secretly handed over numerous kills.

Meanwhile, Dao Feng and the Gentleman faced the most severe crisis imaginable!

Almost every super first-class master among the enemy was targeting them!

Heavenly Dao glanced at the Chess Saint, then looked at the Ganges and Miyamoto Musashi, saying, "You two take out Dao Feng and the Gentleman; I’ll handle protecting the Chess Saint myself!" With that, he rushed to the Chess Saint’s side, remaining close, his Eastern Sword gleaming dangerously as he prepared to strike a fatal blow at any attacker.

The Ganges and Miyamoto Musashi relaxed immediately, joining the newly arrived Dante to surround Dao Feng and the Gentleman!

This left Dao Feng and the Gentleman completely suppressed—their efforts reduced to mere survival, unable to pose any threat to the Chess Saint’s safety.

"Chess Saint, how much longer until you ascend to the Heavenly Realm?" Heavenly Dao asked the Chess Saint.

"Just 2% left!" The Chess Saint quickly responded.

"Alright, this place is too dangerous—let’s head somewhere safer for you to complete that final 2%." Saying this, Heavenly Dao urged the Chess Saint to retreat further away.

"But without the Ganges’ protection, I’d be very vulnerable. Wouldn’t it be unsafe?" The Chess Saint hesitated, looking troubled.

"With me protecting you, do you doubt my strength?" Heavenly Dao’s face darkened instantly.

"No, no!" The Chess Saint shook his head hurriedly. After hesitating a moment, he said, "Alright then! Let’s relocate to a safer spot and continue fighting enemies!"

With that, he sprinted off toward a distant area, keeping well away from Dao Feng and the Gentleman’s threats.

"What’s going on? Why haven’t the Guardian Deity’s forces dealt with Yang Yuheng yet?" Dante, still fiercely battling Dao Feng and the Gentleman, muttered in confusion.

"No worries—we’ll soon finish off Dao Feng and the Gentleman. Then we can take on Yang Yuheng together. He’s only Level 198; we don’t need to worry!" Miyamoto Musashi brushed it off casually, his Eastern Sword slicing with deadly precision, landing a critical blow on the Gentleman.

Instantly, the Gentleman was left with just a sliver of health!

"Die!" The Ganges seized an opportunity, raising his World Tree Branch high and preparing a decisive, life-ending strike!

The branch of the World Tree began to emit a ghastly green glow, growing ever brighter.

This light carried a heavy aura of death—merely witnessing it sent chills down spines and icy shivers through flesh!

With the Gentleman reduced to his last shred of health, surviving such an attack was utterly impossible!

He was doomed to die!

And given he was only a Divine Embryo, his death would mean starting anew—an outcome too grave to imagine!

Just as the fatal blow loomed imminent, a vast, resonant announcement echoed suddenly across the globe:

"[System Announcement]: Chinese player [Yang Yuheng] has ascended to Level 200, gaining 1000 points in Public Prestige and achieving [Unique Achievement]—[First Realm of Heaven]. China National Honor Value +1."
