Heroes' Prison

Chapter 900 - 851: Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone

There are a total of ten divine artifacts in The Second World, each originating from the Ten Great Deity Sealers. Later historians ranked these ten artifacts based on the amount of detailed historical records available.

The higher the ranking of the artifact, the more famous it is, appearing frequently in history, linked to legendary deeds, and celebrated in epic Chapters.

Time of Georgia is ranked as the eighth great artifact in The Second World. This low ranking indicates its profound mystery, with very few historical records and fewer associated feats, far less renowned than the Sea God’s artifact—the Pillar of Sea God.

Huang Yi had only heard the name of this artifact before, but he was unclear about the wars it had appeared in or the stories it had left behind. Unexpectedly, in such a Secret Trial Realm, he now had the opportunity to learn about the creation process of this artifact.

He rode Little Dragon and gazed afar at the enormous red light pillar within the canyon ahead, staring in a daze for a long time.

Even divine artifacts have appeared, so this Hero Trial is likely approaching a pivotal juncture!

"Come in!" Just then, a resounding and lingering female voice suddenly echoed within the canyon, spreading throughout and forming waves of echoes.

The voice carried an unhurried, majestic tone, full of nobility, like a queen issuing her decree.

However, the voice also faintly revealed a sense of weariness, as if after many exhausting labors, the speaker had finally found a moment to utter these words.

The frenzied Evil Dragon immediately calmed down upon hearing this voice, as though soothed. It swiftly dove from the high skies, plunged back into the water with splashing waves, and quickly vanished amidst the vast river.

Little Dragon blinked its big eyes, tilted its head curiously at the red glow in the valley like a playful pup, wagged its tail, and then flew inward.

The canyon was enormous, stretching beyond sight. The two towering mountain peaks on either side rose steeply into the clouds, making the place appear like a peaceful Shangri-La, filled with lush greenery and tranquility. Yet, no ferocious beasts wandered here, creating a stark contrast with the perilous Primeval Wilderness outside.

Little Dragon flew straight toward the thick red column of light ahead, and after what seemed like an eternity of flying, finally reached the perimeter of the red glow.

At this moment, Huang Yi’s field of vision was entirely consumed by the boundless red light. The glow blanketed a vast basin, radiating dense divine power. This was the might of heaven and earth, a force of nature that rendered ordinary people utterly insignificant.

The basin was colossal, with a diameter spanning dozens of kilometers when viewed from high above. The divine artifact rested in one corner of this basin.

"My artifact still needs some time for its Cui Guang refinement to be completed." Just then, a woman’s voice came from the red light ahead.

The voice was the same majestic yet slightly fatigued one Huang Yi had heard outside the canyon earlier.

Soon, a woman emerged gracefully from within the red glow, walking upon the air.

She appeared to be in her twenties, with striking beauty and a multi-colored dragon scale upon her forehead. She wore a flowing, multi-colored long dress, her movements enchanting, with an aura of delicate femininity, resembling a fragile young lady.

But Huang Yi knew that this woman before him was undoubtedly the Holy Giant Dragon, Georgia. She already possessed demigod-level power and would likely ascend to divine enthronement in the future.

The stronger individuals of such caliber appear, the more profoundly they embody an "unassuming aura." In ordinary times, they possess no detectable presence and seem like regular folk, easily overlooked. Yet, in combat, even their most casual movements wield the catastrophic power of heaven and earth colliding.

"I’ve come on behalf of the Dark Demon Dragon, Mo Li, to bring his child, Gibit, for you to take care of. Dark Demon Dragon, Mo Li, is currently battling with Golden Holy Dragon, Jin Shenglin." Huang Yi looked at Georgia and briefly recounted the conflict between Mo Li and Jin Shenglin.

"Brothers turning against each other—what a joke for you to witness," Georgia said in a calm tone after hearing Huang Yi’s words, then beckoned toward Little Dragon.

Instantly, Gibit, who had been riding on Little Dragon’s back, levitated and floated toward Georgia, landing gently in her arms.

Georgia gazed at Gibit indifferently, her expression calm and emotionless, exuding an aura akin to that of a deity.

She extended her slender fingers and gently caressed Gibit’s cheeks. A subtle red light emanated from her fingers and merged into Gibit’s body.

"Hmm? Gibit absorbed the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone?" At that moment, Georgia’s expression changed slightly, her gaze toward Gibit becoming somewhat unfamiliar.

Huang Yi froze momentarily. He had only recounted the events briefly without mentioning the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone, yet Georgia had sensed it on her own and even displayed emotional fluctuations regarding it. Evidently, the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone’s significance exceeded Huang Yi’s prior estimations.

"What is the function of the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone?" Huang Yi couldn’t help but ask.

Georgia furrowed her brow slightly and looked at the young Gibit in her arms, saying, "The Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone is the ultimate treasure of dragonkin, including the Dragon Clan and Dragonkin. A regular dragon can evolve into one of the Three Great Top Dragon Clans—Golden Holy Dragon, Holy Giant Dragon, or Dark Demon Dragon—by absorbing it. For dragons already belonging to the Three Great Top Dragon Clans, the stone further boosts their growth potential, strengthens their power, and markedly enhances their likelihood of achieving divine enthronement. Furthermore, absorbing the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone grants the Dragon Emperor’s Physique, rendering them immune to all external skills or abilities, permanently placing them in a state of magic immunity and special ability immunity."

"Permanently in a state of magic immunity!" Huang Yi froze, staring at Gibit in astonishment.

Magic immunity is an extremely practical skill capable of nullifying all enemy abilities but typically lasts only a short duration.

Huang Yi himself possessed two magic immunity skills, one being Thunderous Body, an attached skill from his Thunder Guard Bracers, which provided magic immunity for 10 seconds.

The other magic immunity skill was a brand-new exclusive skill gained after advancing to his Divine Class: [Physical and Magical Crossover] — expending energy values to enter a state of physical and magical crossover, alternately switching between Physical Form and Magical Form. Physical Form can immunize all physical attacks, while Magical Form can immunize all skill attacks. Physical Form and Magical Form automatically cycle every five seconds, continuously repeating until energy values are depleted.

This exclusive skill had yet to be used but was extremely powerful, cycling physical immunity and magic immunity every five seconds. However, it consumed energy values, and once depleted, the skill could no longer sustain itself.

In contrast, the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone grants dragons permanent magic immunity without any time limitation, making it an almighty treasure defying the very laws of the world!

Moreover, the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone not only provides magic immunity but also special ability immunity!

Special abilities often refer to highly sophisticated capabilities, such as Huang Yi’s Eye of Time—an ability that brought him countless conveniences.

However, against Gibit, his special ability would prove ineffective!

Huang Yi’s Eye of Time would fail to uncover Gibit’s past or future, no matter how much energy value he expended!

His Eye of Time ultimately could not rival the Eye of Time wielded by the God of Time!

Soon, Huang Yi thought of another question and couldn’t help but ask, "But why would Dark Demon Dragon, Mo Li, not absorb the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone himself? Besides, it seems they’ve known about this Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone for some time yet haven’t taken it away. Instead, they built a city centered on the stone. Moreover, they appear to have refrained from absorbing the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone all this time, only letting Gibit absorb it at this final moment. Why is that?"

"For that, we must start with the King of Hell, Yanmo," Georgia said, gazing at Gibit’s youthful face with a sigh, and continued, "The Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone is actually the essence of life condensed from Yanmo, the leader of the Seven Archdemons. Yanmo was originally a dragon who had absorbed the life essence of various dragons to reform himself, and through unique methods, also absorbed the heroic spirits of various dragonkin from the Underworld. Gradually, he evolved into a being that is ’not a dragon but surpasses dragons.’ He possesses the abilities of any dragon clan, including the Three Great Top Dragon Clans, but none of their weaknesses."

"The King of Hell was once a dragon!" Huang Yi realized for the first time the origin of the King of Hell. During his previous visit to the Dragon Tomb, he had witnessed the formation of another Archdemon—the King of Curses’ avatar. That avatar had been a Black Phoenix, also a top-level creature. Little Dragon’s feathers had absorbed the essence of that avatar, thus inheriting its traits.

"He no longer belongs to the dragon clan; he is our disgrace," Georgia grit her silver teeth, showing a hint of hatred. "He is a traitor to the dragon clan, harboring ambitions of enslaving the entire dragon race. He is the most evil being in this world. His power is unmatched, and he could have easily achieved divine enthronement, but he chose not to, instead remaining to wreak havoc on The Second World. Countless dragons have perished at his hands."

"And what’s the connection between the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone and him?" Huang Yi redirected the conversation to the prior question.

"The last time his avatar caused havoc, Wild God. Split Sky struggled with great difficulty to kill this avatar. The essence of that avatar crystallized into several pieces of Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone, which Wild God. Split Sky sealed away. Now, Wild God has long achieved divine enthronement and ascended to the Divine Realm, becoming one of this world’s legends. Yet, the threat of the King of Hell remains. He has continuously sought to reclaim these Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stones. Once the stones are removed from their seal, he can sense them effortlessly. Hence, upon discovering the Dragon Emperor Heavenly Stone, it must never be moved. Should he regain the stones, he could quickly forge new ultra-powerful avatars to resume his rampage across this world."
