Heroes' Prison

Chapter 898 - 849: 3 Great Heavenly Phenomena

On this day, Huang Yi went online as usual and checked out the forum of The Second World.

"Like a hot knife through butter! The Dragon Emperor leads the Hero Legion, reclaiming vast lost territories. The regions occupied by the Invading Army have shrunk to a tenth of their peak size!"

"The Heavenly Domain experts’ hierarchy is about to change! The Sword Emperor, the Pope, the 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 nearing its end. His true strength is about to be revealed! The outcome of the national war on Hero’s Continent is about to undergo major changes!"

...

The forum headlines were all centered on the national war progress on Hero’s Continent.

Recently, the national war on Hero’s Continent had reached a victorious stage.

Since ascending to the Heavenly Realm, the Dragon Emperor had become the number-one expert in the world. Under his leadership, the Hero Legion was invincible, smashing through all obstacles and reclaiming vast amounts of lost territory.

Meanwhile, the Demon Clan’s offensive on Hero’s Continent had faltered significantly due to the death of the Fallen Messenger. Leaderless, they were hunted down by both the Hero Legion and the Invading Army. Most of their efforts now only amounted to providing Demon Cores, including quite a number of Level 190+ Demons.

However, Huang Yi knew this was only temporary. True experts from the Demon Clan could appear and cause chaos at any time! This national war could very likely undergo drastic upheavals as a result.

TNT, Miyamoto Musashi, and the Pope were the initial instigators of the national war on Hero’s Continent. In the real world, they collaborated with the World Federation; in The Second World, they had ties with the Demon Clan.

The World Federation had tasked these three people with triggering a catastrophe to occupy the entire Second World. From the current situation, it was clear this catastrophe was meant to prematurely draw out the invasion of the Seven Archdemons. For now, this catastrophe was merely the beginning; the real crisis had not yet arrived.

The Demon Clan had many powerful individuals; those emerging now were just minor pawns. This military power was but a drop in the ocean for the Demon Clan. Once the incarnations of the Seven Archdemons finished forming, The Second World would fully enter this catastrophe, making even the Oskan Royal Academy uncertain of its ability to resist.

...

After reading the updates for a while, Huang Yi entered The Second World.

His main body was currently in a classroom at the Oskan Royal Academy. At this moment, only two people were in the classroom.

Other than himself, the other person was FeatherWorld, who was engrossed in a book, fully focused and unaware of Huang Yi’s arrival.

FeatherWorld was always deeply absorbed in his studies. Huang Yi could almost always find him in the classroom, a picture-perfect example of a studious top student.

Without disturbing him, Huang Yi quietly left the classroom and headed toward the Hero Hall, intending to continue his Hero Trial. Three days ago, he finally discovered the first river, and over the past few days, he had been flying along its path. He expected to soon reach the place where three rivers converged.

Meanwhile, his incarnation appeared at the top floor of the City Hall.

At this moment, Zu Zaiyu was handling guild affairs there. Upon seeing Huang Yi appear, he immediately exclaimed in delight, "Brother Yi, you’re here! I’ve got great news to share. We’ve found a major Demon Clan base! Big Brother Dao Feng is currently leading Yun Sihai, Lin Yiqin, and other experts of the Xuanyuan Clan to attack it. Among the Demons there are eight Level 190+ and one Level 199. The battle is nearing its end, and Big Brother Dao Feng is likely to claim that Level 199 Demon Core and ascend to the Heavenly Realm today!"

"Another major base uncovered!" Huang Yi smiled with satisfaction. Ever since the Fallen Messenger was killed by Dragon Spike, the Demon Clan on Hero’s Continent had suffered catastrophic losses. One base after another was located and besieged. Without the Fallen Messenger’s protection, these bases had essentially become loot for players, irresistible treasures in their eyes.

Recently, the Hero Legion had uncovered two Demon Clan bases, securing multiple top-level Demon Cores, including Level 196, 197, and 198 Cores, pushing Dao Feng to Level 199.

"Hmm?" Just then, Huang Yi suddenly sensed a radiant golden light shooting across the horizon, like the first light of dawn, carrying with it a sense of hope.

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

What they saw shook them—countless golden Sword Qi streaked across the sky, forming enormous virtual golden War Blades. They surged forward unstoppably, exuding an imperial aura of dominance!

These virtual golden War Blades were executing a vigorous and mighty sword technique, as though an invisible figure wielded them. Upon closer observation, one could see that each War Blade employed a different sword technique. Thousands upon thousands of blades, each displaying unique techniques!

Wherever these War Blades passed, all clouds were slashed into fragments! Normally, swords couldn’t affect intangible things like clouds or mist, but these blades were the exception—they could slice clouds apart as if nothing could withstand them.

Standing on the ground, gazing at the endless Sword Qi in the heavens, one could distinctly feel the sharpness of Dao Feng’s aura. The skin faintly stung, as though that Sword Qi hung at one’s throat, ready to strike at the slightest movement.

The Sword Qi showed no signs of stopping; in mere moments, it shot across the horizon, blanketing every inch of the sky within sight and spreading over an unimaginable distance.

"That’s Big Brother Dao Feng’s Sword Qi—he’s ascended to the Heavenly Realm!" Zu Zaiyu exclaimed joyfully. Their side finally had a second Heavenly Domain-level super-first master after Dragon Spike!

"Indeed, this is Dao Feng’s Heavenly Phenomenon," Huang Yi nodded, marveling at the grandeur of such an awe-inspiring sight.

...

Elsewhere, on the Central Continent at the Oskan Royal Academy.

Huang Yi had been on his way to the Hero Hall, but now everyone he encountered along the road had stopped in their tracks to turn toward Hero’s Continent.

In the distant direction of Hero’s Continent, a massive golden War Blade could be seen hovering in the sky. Its design was fearsome, its blade’s curved edge perfect—both beautiful and exuding killing intent, as though it could carve a gigantic hole into Hero’s Continent.

Even from such a vast distance, the War Blade was visible in the sky, a testament to the colossal scale of this Heavenly Phenomenon!

"It’s another Demigod-level Heavenly Phenomenon! Though not as grand as the Dragon Emperor’s, it surpasses the Heavenly Emperor’s!"

"That appears to be the Sword Emperor’s blade! He’s finally ascended to the Heavenly Realm too!"

The onlookers murmured in awe as they gazed at the divine blade.

Though Dao Feng was not yet a Hero, his Heavenly Phenomenon was outshone by the earlier Dragon Spike but was more magnificent than the Heavenly Dao’s. Nevertheless, this did not imply Dao Feng had surpassed Heavenly Dao, as the latter was the first to ascend to the Heavenly Realm among super-first-class experts, having achieved it more swiftly and decisively, with profound underlying strength to back it up.

"Boom!" Suddenly, the entire world resounded with a deafening thunderclap!

Players on Hero’s Continent felt it most vividly. This earth-shattering thunder originated there!

The thunderclap resembled an apocalyptic roar, as though it were awakening the entire world!

Huang Yi’s incarnation and Zu Zaiyu, who had been observing Dao Feng’s Sword Qi from City Hall’s highest floor, abruptly noticed an unimaginably thick lightning bolt streaking across the horizon with blistering speed. As it passed, it branched out rapidly, spreading further and further!

The sky was immediately consumed by an endless sea of white lightning, crackling like a spiderweb that stretched infinitely across its vast expanse, as though the very heavens were fracturing and on the verge of collapse!

This lightning surpassed anything ever seen in a thunderstorm—denser and more terrifying!

The incessant lightning intertwined with the golden Sword Qi, merging and amplifying one another. Every golden War Blade became cloaked in arcs of lightning, emitting bursts of blinding energy, becoming even more formidable!

The entirety of Hero’s Continent had turned into a symphony of gold and white, with the sky losing its usual appearance. There were no clouds, no blue heavens—only sprawling networks of electric arcs and countless golden War Blades. The mingling of these two phenomena made it appear as though the End of the World had arrived.

Back on the Central Continent, Huang Yi’s main body and the passersby were struck with overwhelming dread!

Their distant vantage point allowed them to witness the full scope of this Heavenly Phenomenon. Above the skies of Hero’s Continent, an enormous Thunder Sea had formed, at the heart of which stood an unimaginably large golden War Blade.

"Another Heavenly Phenomenon—this must be the Pope! He’s ascended to the Heavenly Realm as well! His phenomena complement Dao Feng’s!"

"Two super-first-class experts reach the Heavenly Realm simultaneously on the same continent! Such an event—one might never see this happen again in a lifetime!"

Sharp-eyed players quickly discerned the source of this thunderous phenomenon.

In truth, there was no need to guess. Globally, the only player capable of summoning such a mighty thunder-related Heavenly Phenomenon was the Pope!

The Pope’s Heavenly Phenomenon, comparable in scale to Dao Feng’s, confirmed his ascension. Still, being no Hero, it fell short of Dragon Spike’s.

"Huh? Wait—why does it seem like there’s a Heavenly Phenomenon behind us as well? Is this the third one?!" someone suddenly exclaimed in fright!

Huang Yi instinctively turned around, and indeed, in the far-off distance behind him, yet another Heavenly Phenomenon had emerged!

This new Heavenly Phenomenon was remarkably distinct, resembling an endless ocean in the sky. Waves surged violently, and amidst the massive waves, a colossal ship could be seen faintly, braving the tumultuous seas!

This Heavenly Phenomenon, no less magnificent than those of Dao Feng and the Pope, was clearly linked to yet another super-first-class expert.

"This Heavenly Phenomenon feels unfamiliar—who could it belong to?" some players wondered aloud as they stared at the third phenomenon in bewilderment.
