Heroes' Prison

Chapter 897 - 849 Three Great Heavenly Phenomenon

On this day, Huang Yi logged in as usual and checked the forums of The Second World.

"Unstoppable momentum! The Dragon Emperor leads the Hero Legion to recover a vast amount of lost territory, reducing the area controlled by the Invading Army to one-tenth of its peak size!"

"The Heavenly Domain power structure is about to change! The Sword Emperor, the Pope, Ganges, Ronald, the Giant Bear, and the Pharaoh—six super-first-class masters—have all reached level 199, and could break through at any moment!"

"The God of Slaughter’s Reincarnation is about to end, revealing their true power! The national war in Hero’s Continent is facing a major upheaval!"

...

The forum headlines focused on the progress of Hero’s Continent’s national war.

Lately, Hero’s Continent’s national war had entered a victorious stage.

After the Dragon Emperor ascended to the Heavenly Domain, he became the strongest player in the world. Under his leadership, the Hero Legion stormed through countless battles, recovering a massive amount of lost territory.

Meanwhile, the Demon Clan’s offensive on Hero’s Continent had stagnated due to the death of the Fallen Messenger. Leaderless, the Demon Clan suffered from dual offensives by the Hero Legion and the Invading Army, becoming easy prey and primarily contributing Demon Cores. This included many Demon Clans above level 190.

However, Huang Yi knew this victory was only temporary. The true masters of the Demon Clan might rise at any moment, plunging the national war into chaos once again.

T.N.T., Miyamoto Musashi, and the Pope were the first initiators of Hero’s Continent’s national war. In the real world, they collaborated with the World Federation, while in The Second World, they were connected to the Demon Clan.

The World Federation wanted these three to provoke a catastrophe and occupy the entirety of The Second World. Judging from the current situation, this catastrophe was clearly engineered to prematurely lure the Seven Archdemons into an invasion. For now, the disaster had only begun, and the real crisis had yet to unfold.

The Demon Clan had numerous masters, but those appearing now were mere underlings—these forces were insignificant compared to the Demon Clan’s true strength. Once the avatars of the Seven Archdemons fully formed, The Second World would be plunged into true catastrophe, and even the Oskan Royal Academy might struggle to withstand it.

...

After browsing the news for a while, Huang Yi entered The Second World.

His main body was sitting inside a classroom at the Oskan Royal Academy. There were only two people present in the room.

Apart from himself, the other person was FeatherWorld, who was engrossed in reading a book. Focused and diligent, he hadn’t noticed Huang Yi’s arrival.

FeatherWorld had always been studious. Huang Yi could almost always find him in the classroom, immersed in hard work—a model of academic excellence.

Not wanting to disturb him, Huang Yi quietly left the classroom and headed toward the Hero Hall to continue his Hero Trial. Three days earlier, he had finally spotted the first river along his journey. In the past few days, he had been flying along its course and expected to soon find the point where three rivers converged.

Meanwhile, his incarnation appeared atop the highest floor of the City Hall.

At this moment, Zu Zaiyu was managing guild affairs. Upon seeing Huang Yi appear, he exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Yi, you’re here! I’ve got good news for you—we’ve discovered a Demon Clan stronghold. Big Brother Dao Feng is leading Yun Sihai, Lin Yiqin, and other masters from the Xuanyuan Clan to raid it. Among them are eight demons above level 190, including one at level 199! The battle there is reaching its climax, and Big Brother Dao Feng has a chance to obtain that level 199 Demon Core and ascend to the Heavenly Domain today!"

"Another stronghold found!" Huang Yi smiled in satisfaction. Ever since the Fallen Messenger was slain by Dragon Spike, the Demon Clan on Hero’s Continent had faced devastating losses. One after another, their strongholds were discovered and besieged, becoming ripe targets without the protection of the Fallen Messenger.

During this period, the Hero Legion had already uncovered two Demon Clan strongholds, acquiring numerous top-grade Demon Cores—including levels 196, 197, and 198—which had pushed Dao Feng to the brink of reaching level 199.

"Hmm?" At that moment, Huang Yi suddenly sensed a radiant golden streak shooting across the horizon, reminiscent of the rising sun carrying an aura of hope.

He and Zu Zaiyu immediately turned their heads to look out the window!

In the distance, countless golden Sword Qi rushed forth, forming countless virtual golden War Blades that advanced relentlessly, exuding a majestic emperor-like aura!

Each virtual golden War Blade seemed to wield an invisible wielder, demonstrating precision and mastery. Upon closer inspection, every War Blade performed a unique sword technique—thousands upon thousands of blades, showcasing countless varieties of techniques!

Where these blades passed, the clouds were slashed into fragments! Blades are typically designed to cut solid objects, not vapor-like entities such as clouds or mist. Yet, these blades were exceptions; even the clouds couldn’t resist their power, as though nothing could hinder them.

Standing on the ground, gazing at the endless Sword Qi in the sky, one could sharply feel the blades’ piercing sharpness—an almost tangible sensation of discomfort on the skin, as if those celestial blades hovered just above one’s neck, ready to strike at the slightest disturbance.

The Sword Qi surged onwards without pause, within moments reaching the farthest horizons, covering every visible inch of the sky, extending to unfathomable distances.

"That’s Dao Feng’s Sword Qi! He’s ascended to the Heavenly Domain!" Zu Zaiyu exclaimed in delight. Their side finally gained another super-first-class Heavenly Domain expert alongside Dragon Spike!

"Indeed, this is Dao Feng’s Heavenly Phenomenon!" Huang Yi nodded, marveling at the grandeur of such an epic display.

...

Meanwhile, in the Central Continent, at the Oskan Royal Academy.

Though Huang Yi had been on his way to the Hero Hall, now everyone he encountered along the route had frozen in place, turning to stare in the direction of Hero’s Continent.

From this far distance, the sight of a colossal golden War Blade suspended high in the sky above Hero’s Continent was unmistakably vivid. This massive blade, with its imposing design and perfect curvature along its edge, radiated both beauty and lethal intent, as though it could pierce an enormous hole through Hero’s Continent.

The fact that this blade could be seen across such a vast distance demonstrated the magnificence of the Heavenly Phenomenon!

"Another demigod-level Heavenly Phenomenon! Although it’s not as grand as the Dragon Emperor’s, it surpasses the Heavenly Emperor’s!"

"It looks like the Sword Emperor’s War Blade! He’s finally ascended to the Heavenly Domain as well!"

The surrounding crowd murmured in awe as they gazed upon the blade.

Though Dao Feng hadn’t yet reached the title of ’Hero,’ his Heavenly Phenomenon was less awe-inspiring than Dragon Spike’s but still exceeded that of Heavenly Dao. However, this didn’t suggest Dao Feng had surpassed Heavenly Dao—after all, Heavenly Dao was the first super-first-class master to ascend to the Heavenly Domain, achieving it faster with less time and deeper foundations.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a deafening thunderclap reverberated throughout the world!

The shockwave was felt most intensely by players on Hero’s Continent—it seemed to herald the advent of creation itself!

This thunder echoed like a primordial roar, jolting the entire world awake!

In the City Hall’s highest floor, Huang Yi’s incarnation and Zu Zaiyu had been watching Dao Feng’s Sword Qi out the window. Suddenly, they saw a massive lightning bolt strike from the horizon, blazing across the sky at rapid speed, branching out as it traveled and swiftly expanding!

The sky was soon consumed by endless white lightning, crackling and sparking like a spider’s web sprawling across the heavens, creating fissures that looked ready to shatter the firmament itself!

These lightning bolts were denser and far more terrifying than any storm’s lightning.

The endless lightning intertwined with the golden Sword Qi that preceded it, merging together. Every golden War Blade in the sky became enshrouded in arcs of crackling electricity, amplifying its ferocity even further!

The entirety of Hero’s Continent transformed into a scene of golden and white hues. The sky ceased to exist—clouds and blue skies vanished, replaced by networks of electrical energy and golden War Blades. The fusion of these two phenomena painted a vision akin to the world’s imminent apocalypse.

In the Central Continent, Huang Yi’s physical body and the countless observers on the streets felt a wave of profound shock!

From their distant vantage point, they could glimpse the full-scale grandeur of the Heavenly Phenomenon. Above Hero’s Continent, the skies had turned into a vast Thunder Sea, with a gigantic golden War Blade piercing its center.

"Another Heavenly Phenomenon? This must be the Pope! He’s ascended to the Heavenly Domain as well, and his Heavenly Phenomenon complements Dao Feng’s!"

"Two super-first-class masters ascending to the Heavenly Domain on the same day, within the same territory—what a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle!"

Some keen-eyed players quickly identified the source of the lightning display.

There was no need for speculation; the only player worldwide capable of conjuring such a monumental Thunder Phenomenon was the Pope!

While the Pope’s Heavenly Phenomenon resembled Dao Feng’s, neither could surpass Dragon Spike’s achievement.

"Wait—what’s that? Behind us, there’s another Heavenly Phenomenon! A third one!" Some players cried out in astonishment!

Huang Yi instinctively turned to look behind him. Sure enough, far in the rear horizon, an entirely different Heavenly Phenomenon emerged!

This phenomenon was extraordinarily unique: a vast expanse of ocean water had appeared, rolling with colossal waves. Within those waves, a ship could faintly be seen navigating through tempestuous seas!

This Heavenly Phenomenon didn’t lag behind Dao Feng’s or the Pope’s and was clearly linked to another super-first-class master.

"Who is it? This phenomenon feels unfamiliar!" Some players stared at the third Heavenly Phenomenon in confusion. (To be continued.
