Heroes' Prison

Chapter 918 - 867: Breaking the Balance

The intense aerial battle was fought with the sky and earth in chaos, vivid bursts of skill radiance exploding outward, covering the heavens and obscuring the sun, accompanied by deafening roars akin to rolling thunder. Ten Heavenly Domain top-notch experts collided like meteors, striking and evading at breathtaking speeds, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Dao Feng, Dragon Spike, and Yang Yuheng, through various enhancements, barely managed to fend off the seven Heavenly Domain top-notch experts from the enemy! Their battle was fraught with peril; the enemies were just slightly short of the strength needed to break through them, forming a critical balance between the two sides.

However, the seven Heavenly Domain top-notch experts of the invading army remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic, as if absolutely confident in the outcome of today’s battle.

"Thank goodness Miyamoto Musashi hasn’t ascended to the Heavenly Domain. If the enemy gained one more top-notch expert, the balance would completely collapse, and this fight would become unwinnable!"

The crowd murmured anxiously, their hearts palpitating at the sight of the perilous scene where the enemy just needed one final straw to crush the Heroes Legion’s three Heavenly Domain experts!

"Boom!" At that moment, the sound of cannon fire echoed from afar, accompanied by fiery explosions!

Huang Yi immediately picked up his binoculars and looked toward the distance, catching sight of a dark mass of fleets at the edge of his vision. Flags fluttered powerfully in the sea breeze atop those ships!

The invading army’s numerous legions had deployed all their warships—densely packed and impossible to count! Among them was Ronald’s Amazon Fleet, ranking among the top fleets in the world.

Soon, both sides’ vast arrays of ships entered their respective firing ranges, almost simultaneously opening fire, weaving nets of flames and bombarding each other with firepower!

The sea area around Sun Island instantly turned into a boundless sea of fire. Fire lines streaked across the sky everywhere, with cannon shells launched from ship to ship, causing towering waves to erupt from the blasted waters!

Some ships hit by cannon fire emitted thick black smoke, leaving the battlefield in utter disarray. Smoke and fire blanketed the scene, showcasing the fierce intensity of this ultimate showdown!

"Roar!" At this moment, a world-shaking beastly roar, as if originating from eternity, startled the entire battlefield!

Everyone present, including all reporters, immediately turned their heads to look, even the Heavenly Domain top-notch experts battling in the sky couldn’t help but glance downward!

From the Sun Guild’s massive Seadom Carrier came a thunderous activation of its artillery! Its intimidating momentum resembled the roar of a Giant Beast, sending chills down spines!

A colossal laser beam burst forth from its cannon, striking the enemy fleet with unprecedented force!

The laser was dazzling in seven colors, surpassing sunlight and becoming the sole beam of light piercing heaven and earth, enveloping the world in immeasurable oppression!

"Boom!" The unprecedented laser cannon exploded amidst the enemy fleet!

A sweeping wave of shock immediately engulfed the area, raising ocean waters sky-high and submerging a large portion of the enemy fleet! Their ships couldn’t withstand such a devastating shockwave; masts snapped, decks flipped into the sky, and many ships disintegrated into fragments!

Once the chaos settled, the enemy fleet in the affected area was left in complete shambles, many vessels vanished entirely, reduced to mere rubble!

The Seadom Carrier lived up to its name, executing its suppressive role! Against this massive dreadnought, the enemy fleet was as fragile as little dinghies, completely inferior!

But that wasn’t all—ten Oceanic Airships stationed aboard the Seadom Carrier quickly took flight from the deck, seizing air superiority and rained firepower onto the enemy fleet below.

The Heroes Legion managed to firmly block the invading army’s conventional forces, preventing them from breaching this outermost defensive layer and threatening the inner parts of Sun Island.

However, large swaths of players couldn’t board the warships, flying over or swimming through the sea themselves. Highly dispersed, they attacked Sun Island from all directions and corners. Both the Heroes Legion’s fleet and airships found themselves helpless against these scattered forces, relying on individual players to intercept them.

Tens of millions of players poured into this gigantic meat grinder, unleashing their murderous intent on one another. Some fell, losing levels and dropping equipment, while others reaped experience points and merit points from their opponents.

From time to time, massive light pillars ascended into the sky, forming large-scale heavenly phenomena that enveloped entire regions, signaling the ascension of players to the Heavenly Domain. For national war events, the Experience Point rewards offered an upgrade opportunity far surpassing those found in the Tower of Pantheons.

Alas, these heavenly phenomena rarely spanned more than a few hundred meters or kilometers, largely triggered by ordinary players whose poor accumulation failed to create any eye-catching commotion.

The battlefield stretched endlessly, with intense chaos filling every viewable area. In the skies, ten Heavenly Domain leaders clashed fiercely; on the oceans, fleets engaged in naval combat, while smaller battles erupted everywhere between individual players. The vastness of this battlefield was unprecedented, its scope beyond imagination.

Time ticked by as the merciless battle continued, plunging the sky and earth into turmoil, the balance enduring for now.

Huang Yi felt a faint sense of relief—if this precarious stalemate could hold until tomorrow, the battle might tip in their favor.

But the battlefield was ever-changing. As Huang Yi began to relax, sudden transformations occurred in heaven and earth!

In the distance, an eye-searing silver-white beam of light erupted skyward, like a sharp blade piercing the heavens and tearing through the firmament!

Instantly, the beam of Sword Gleam expanded with rapid lightning, blanketing the entire sky within view!

The Sword Gleams formed countless Eastern Swords, illustrating martial techniques as Sword Qi filled the heavens, silvery brilliance obscured sunlight, and the land below plunged into the shadow of this phenomenon!

"Hmm? A Demigod-Level Phenomenon—someone among the top-notch experts has ascended to the Heavenly Domain!"

"This phenomenon seems to match Miyamoto Musashi!"

The crowd looked up at the phenomenon in the sky and immediately guessed its source! The heavenly phenomenon bore striking resemblance to Miyamoto Musashi’s abilities!

Miyamoto Musashi had ascended to the Heavenly Domain at this critical moment! Previously at Level 199, he’d been just one level shy of the Heavenly Domain, and he finally advanced while battling in this colossal warzone!

But his ascension to the Heavenly Domain carried dire consequences! Once he joined the battle among the ten Heavenly Domain top-notch experts above, it would instantly tip the precarious balance, ensuring Dao Feng, Dragon Spike, and Yang Yuheng’s defeat!

That defeat of the Heroes Legion’s pinnacle combat strength would lead to disastrous consequences beyond imagination!

"How could such an epic battle do without me?" At that moment, Miyamoto Musashi’s domineering voice spread from afar, accompanied by a dazzling meteor streaking toward the battlefield with rapid lightning!

Wherever the meteor passed, none could stop it. Any Heroes Legion player daring to block his path was pulverized by his brute force, erupting into blood rain that scattered across the sky, demonstrating an unstoppable destructive momentum!

Around his body circled a green radiance—the kind unleashed by the Ganges World Tree, negating all skills!

With Ganges’ Heavenly Domain ascension, the World Tree’s branches expanded their coverage significantly, able to assist allied forces remotely within a broad range.

Soon, Miyamoto Musashi arrived, halting mid-air in combat stance, his samurai outfit flapping in the fierce winds above, radiating an arrogant air of dominance.

The phenomenon in the sky rapidly receded, merging into his body!

The next moment, his terrifying Heavenly Domain aura spread far and wide, the palpable oppressive force rendering ordinary opponents incapable of approaching, let alone challenging him!

Now, eight Heavenly Domain top-notch experts from the enemy converged in the sky, rendering the Heroes Legion’s defeat seemingly inevitable!

"Ascending to the Heavenly Domain has boosted my strength immensely—I feel limitless power surging through me!" Miyamoto Musashi exclaimed in satisfaction, casually slashing his Eastern Sword a few times, unleashing sharp Sword Qi that rained upon the battlefield below!

"Splat, splat, splat!" Immediately, large groups of Heroes Legion players were bisected by the casual Sword Qi, without even the strength to resist!

Miyamoto Musashi lowered his gaze, effortlessly locking onto Huang Yi standing on the island. He coldly proclaimed from afar, "God of Slaughter, your Reincarnation comes to an end now. Unfortunately for you, I ascended to the Heavenly Domain first. Soon, you’ll witness the defeat of the Sword Emperor, Dragon Emperor, and God of Draenei!"
