Heroes' Prison

Chapter 899 - 850: Red Star Tempering Light

At this moment, countless players around the globe also noticed the sudden emergence of this third celestial phenomenon!

They gazed at the endless seawater in the sky, utterly dumbfounded!

The previous two demigod-level celestial phenomena were still somewhat traceable to specific individuals. But this third celestial phenomenon was entirely unfamiliar and did not match any known super-first-class master!

At the Oskan Royal Academy, Huang Yi was standing beside several top students wearing green school badges. They looked up at the celestial phenomenon and started discussing fervently.

"Who could this celestial phenomenon belong to? Currently, there are only a handful of super-first-class masters globally who have reached Level 199, apart from Dao Feng and the Pope, who recently ascended to the Heavenly Realm. The remaining ones are Ganges, Ronald, Giant Bear, and the Pharaoh. Among these, Ganges and Ronald are both on the Hero’s Continent. If it were one of them, their celestial phenomenon would overlap with Dao Feng’s and the Pope’s, not appear in this separate region. The Pharaoh is located on the Pharaoh Continent, which does align with the direction of this phenomenon. However, the Pharaoh is currently busy on the New Continent, fighting the Giant Bear over World Stone resources in an intense battle. That New Continent should be to our west, not in the area of this celestial phenomenon!"

"Could it be a super-first-class master who has been in hiding and is only now revealing themselves?"

"Check the rankings for players who have reached Level 200. That should clear it up."

Soon, an assumption emerged. The known super-first-class masters were unlikely to be responsible for this third celestial phenomenon, meaning it was probably the work of a hidden super-first-class master.

Immediately, countless people opened the leaderboards to search for players at Level 200 or above.

By now, many players around the globe had ascended to the Heavenly Realm, making it nearly impossible to check individually. However, there was a simple method to deduce a likely conclusion.

"I did a quick search of the levels of all 25 super-first-class masters globally. Only four—Heavenly Dao, Dragon Spike, Dao Feng, and the Pope—have reached Level 200 or above. The remaining 21 are still below the Heavenly Realm, so it can’t be any of them. This must be a hidden super-first-class master—or perhaps a first-class master who had a stroke of incredible fortune and ascended to the super-first-class level!" Very quickly, a student wearing a green school badge beside Huang Yi’s main body came up with this analysis.

"Hmm, that does make sense! Now, there are 26 super-first-class masters in the world!" Another student nodded in agreement with this theory.

Huang Yi took a deep look at the celestial phenomenon of endless seawater. Stroking his chin, he withdrew his gaze and continued walking toward the Hero Hall.

Meanwhile, the shock among the global player base showed no signs of subsiding.

At the exact same moment, three super-first-class masters ascended to the Heavenly Realm simultaneously, triggering three demigod-level celestial phenomena. Such an event might only happen once in a lifetime!

Of the three occurrences, the third mysterious celestial phenomenon drew the most attention!

Countless players speculated—who exactly was this enigmatic super-first-class master?

...

Not long after, Huang Yi’s main body arrived at the Hero Hall in Oskan Royal Academy and teleported once more into the Secret Trial Realm, continuing his journey west atop Little Dragon.

Before the Reincarnation ended, there was one last crucial task he needed to complete!

The Dark Demon Dragon, Mo Li’s child, Gibit, remained in a deep coma, lying limply on Little Dragon’s back.

Huang Yi glanced downward. Far below, a massive and turbulent river surged ever westward.

Occasionally, river beasts emerged from the water, crashing back down with tremendous splashes. Mysterious black shadows swam beneath the surface, their forms indistinct; only fragments of their outlines or scales could be glimpsed as they glided through the water!

These ancient, primordial rivers were exceedingly perilous, with countless known and unknown giant beasts lurking within. The rivers would occasionally churn violently, and anyone who fell in might not even understand how they died.

Dragon Spike had specifically warned Huang Yi to wait until he reached Level 150 in the Advanced Holy Domain before attempting the Hero Trial. Otherwise, failure was almost certain. Creatures in the Secret Trial Realm adhered to a set difficulty level, and one wrong move could result in death.

However, for the past few days, Huang Yi and his companions had been under the effects of the Lightning Conductor Skill, masking all their presence so the river beasts could not detect them.

Gradually, as Huang Yi flew atop Little Dragon for several hours, their movement speed, enhanced tenfold by the Lightning Conductor Skill, turned the landscape below into a blur of fleeting shadows.

"Hmm? Looks like we’ve arrived!" Huang Yi blinked, excitement flashing across his face as a smile spread across his lips.

In the distant horizon lay an unmistakable confluence of rivers—three colossal rivers flowing in from different directions to join into a single, seemingly boundless waterway!

At the confluence, two towering mountain peaks stood guard, with a deep and shadowy gorge nestled between them. The area was dense with towering trees, their extent unknown.

It seemed this gorge was the one the Dark Demon Dragon, Mo Li, had spoken of. The Holy Giant Dragon, Georgia, awaited within.

"Little Dragon, quick, head to that valley!" Huang Yi patted Little Dragon’s head enthusiastically.

"Eeya! Eeya!" Little Dragon squealed with excitement and streaked toward the gorge at full speed.

Finally, they reached the confluence of the three rivers. There, the abundance of water almost gave the appearance of an ocean, forming a massive lake whose edges faded into the horizon.

"BOOM!" At that moment, a massive wave erupted from the junction of the three rivers!

Huang Yi looked down and immediately spotted a massive black dragon wreaking havoc in the waters below—it moved like a rampaging Evil Dragon, uncontrollably thrashing about!

Suddenly, the Evil Dragon shot out of the water and flew straight toward Huang Yi and Little Dragon in the sky, positioning itself firmly in front of the gorge. Eyes blazing and fangs bared, it exuded an overwhelming aura of the Heavenly Realm!

This Heavenly Realm-level Evil Dragon seemed to act as some kind of guardian, blocking the entrance to the gorge and forbidding any entry!

"Eeya~ Eeya~" Little Dragon let out an innocent cry, wide-eyed and harmless, as if to say it had nothing to do with the situation.

The Evil Dragon’s eyes flickered briefly with unease at the sight of the majestic Golden Holy Dragon. This instinctive fear of a Dragon Clan Emperor was fleeting, however, and it remained resolutely in front of the gorge, unmoving.

Huang Yi scooped up Gibit from Little Dragon’s back and shouted at the Evil Dragon guarding the gorge, "I’ve been entrusted by the Dark Demon Dragon, Mo Li, to deliver his child, Gibit, and seek the Holy Giant Dragon, Georgia. Please, step aside!"

"ROAR!" The Evil Dragon, seemingly of low intelligence, didn’t comprehend Huang Yi’s words. It let out a thunderous roar, whipping its tail through the air with a menacing whoosh.

Although its strength was at the Heavenly Realm level, it still behaved like a feral beast—untamed and unrefined. Yet, it refrained from attacking outright, evidently under the control of a superior entity tasked with guarding the gorge and deterring intruders.

Frowning, Huang Yi realized he was no match for this Evil Dragon. But without dealing with it, entering the gorge was impossible.

Circling atop Little Dragon for a while, Huang Yi failed to come up with a solution and had to remain outside the gorge.

As night began to fall, a massive Bright Moon rose, accompanied by seven massive Colored Stars. The white moonlight intertwined with the red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple radiance of the seven stars, bathing the entire world in a breathtaking glow.

The ancient starry sky looked no different from the modern one—equally stunning, with many stars still in the same positions.

Huang Yi and Little Dragon remained stranded outside, while the Evil Dragon loomed larger and more imposing under the moonlight, firmly guarding the gorge and preventing any trespassers.

"Zoom!" All of a sudden, Huang Yi saw a massive crimson light erupt from within the gorge!

The beam of red light, dozens of kilometers wide, illuminated a vast area as it soared into the starry expanse and connected with the red star among the seven Colored Stars near the Bright Moon!

The next moment, an endless stream of red starlight poured down from the red star, traversing the vast distance between heaven and earth, all to converge deep within the gorge!

Instantly, Huang Yi sensed an overwhelming presence of Divine Power in the atmosphere!

He had once experienced the aura of Divine Power from the Harbinger of Doomsday, but that had been meager, calculated merely by droplets.

Now, however, the air around him brimmed with an infinite well of Divine Power, surging out of the gorge like the torrential river below!

"Red Star Tempering Light! A Divine Artifact is being born!" Huang Yi exclaimed in awe at the sight of this spectacle!

Having tempered numerous pieces of equipment himself, he was more than familiar with the process of tempering.

Equipment tempering was tied to its tier. Whiteboard Equipment would use the white moonlight for tempering. Green Gear, Blue Gear, Purple Gear, and Orange Gear corresponded to their respective star colors.

Beyond that, Legendary Equipment relied on the Yellow Star, while Epic Equipment required the Cyan Star.

Divine Artifacts, however, demanded the power of the Red Star!

Until now, no player in The Second World had ever witnessed a Red Star Tempering Light, let alone triggered one!

Yet now, for the first time, Huang Yi beheld this phenomenon—a sacred artifact in the making!

Evidently, the Holy Giant Dragon, Georgia, was completing the refinement of its famed Divine Artifact—"Time of Georgia"!

Once this final tempering was complete, this magnificent Divine Artifact would officially come into being!
