Heroes' Prison
Chapter 1751 - 1671: Meteors Shine Bright, but Only for a Moment
Huang Yi praised, "This is indeed a good method, as it gathers everyone’s strength while achieving the conditions for one-on-one combat."
Xing Yuan shook his head, "Don’t celebrate too early. After doing all this, you merely have a hope of killing the King of Hell. You still don’t know who among you is stronger or weaker, and perhaps you are still not the King of Hell’s opponent; it might even be you who gets killed. Furthermore, this method is only an imitation. Kador follows the celestial mathematical principles to form one hundred million fixed individuals, each one an inseparable part of Kado. Your method, however, only gives your race’s individuals your bloodline connection, which is fundamentally different from the lineage of Kador. After your fusion, you can only become a presence similar to Kado, inferior to the true Kado. However, this also has its benefits—the aftereffects of separation won’t be as severe as for the Kador race."
Huang Yi nodded, "I understand. If I can’t kill the King of Hell at that time, it means there’s no method in the Mortal Realm to kill him. However, it’s impossible for me to be killed, as the new generation of the Grim Reaper, I am undying in this universe."
Xing Yuan shook his head, "Actually, your greatest reliance is not your Grim Reaper identity, but the rules of the Mortal Realm. Without the Mortal Realm rules, the King of Hell’s true form could leave the microcosm, and none of these matters would exist. The Second World, the Dream Tribe, Dragon Clan, War Clan, all would kneel before the King of Hell. Because of the Mortal Realm rules, his true form must stay within the microcosm, forced to send avatars time and again to contend with you, and even his strongest avatar capable of entering the Mortal Realm is insignificant compared to his true form. What you should most utilize are the rules of the Mortal Realm."
Huang Yi also agreed on this point.
With the strength like the King of Hell, if he could disregard the rules of the Mortal Realm and wreak havoc, they would stand no chance.
The King of Hell, even in avatar form, has to be one that possesses only a small fraction of his strength.
This is similar to the Barbarian God; the Barbarian God in the Barbarian God Temple is merely a remnant avatar of the Barbarian God, yet even so, it surpasses the restrictions of the Mortal Realm rules, requiring further division to form a subsidiary incarnation.
Meanwhile, the Creator Ancestral Spirits that can ignore the Mortal Realm rules require a long slumber before being able to battle once; they cannot sustain eternal combat. Kado, the strongest, even has a more stringent ’Whole Race Integration’ restriction, which is a balancing measure.
The Mortal Realm rules ensure the Mortal Realm remains at a generally balanced level, preventing its destruction due to an overly powerful individual.
This is the rule established by the Divine King during Creation, ensuring the Three Realms function normally.
"Is there really nothing I can do to save you?" Huang Yi asked Xing Yuan, staring at him. He walked over and reached out to touch the remnant image of the Cursed Spear, but his hand passed through it, unable to exert any force.
Xing Yuan gave a bitter smile, "There’s nothing to be done! It’s a curse from the one I loved most, and it cannot be lifted. The only way to end the suffering is to annihilate my soul. I am beyond saving. If you are willing, help me destroy myself! This way, I will have remembered her until the end."
"How can I help you destroy yourself?"
"You possess the constitution of a Creator Ancestral Spirit, and coincidentally, I am a child of the Creator Ancestral Spirit. You can give me a drop of your blood. With this blood as a catalyst, I can command my soul to self-destruct and completely end this eternal pain. I can also help you escape here. Although my strength mainly comes from the Demon Sword, battling against it over the years has refined my soul to an exceptional degree. After self-destructing, it can blast open an exit for you to escape."
"Alright!" Huang Yi nodded and immediately released a drop of blood, which fell in front of Xing Yuan.
Xing Yuan gazed at the drop of blood, a complex expression on his face, with countless scenes flashing in his eyes, as if recalling his long, winding life.
Finally, he closed his eyes and inhaled the blood droplet.
In that instant, the blood was absorbed into his body, turning into countless blood-colored light points, flooding into his soul.
For that fleeting moment, his soul seemed to become tangible, with a hint of flesh.
Soon, his soul rapidly expanded, emitting an increasingly terrifying pressure, causing countless souls within the space to feel this lethal force, quickly fleeing to distant places.
"Boom!" The mighty force of self-destruction exploded open!
The space was engulfed by a dazzling light wave, everywhere was a blank whiteness, and countless souls that hadn’t escaped in time were all wiped out by this self-destructive force in an instant.
In that moment, a gap suddenly appeared in the middle of the radiant light wave, revealing the outside world of the Demon Race Microcosm.
Huang Yi promptly flapped the Sun-Chasing Dragon’s Wings, instantly darting through the gap.
He glanced back to see the gap quickly dissipating, and the self-destructive light wave within growing dimmer.
"I am a meteor, brilliant yet fleeting..."
Xing Yuan’s final words came through faintly.
"Xing Yuan, I will do my best to kill the King of Hell!" Huang Yi murmured.
He lowered his head to look at the Slaughter Blade in his hand.
Xing Yuan’s ruin stemmed from his greed for the Hell Demon Sword’s power, which led to the destruction of the Star Race.
In a way, the Slaughter Blade and the Hell Demon Sword are incredibly similar, both offering immense power to the wielder.
If Huang Yi were asked to put down the Slaughter Blade now, he would not be willing. Putting it down would cause his strength to plummet, losing more than five times the enhancement brought by over fifty Void God Souls, and rendering divine-level class skills unusable.
In this light, it becomes easier to understand Xing Yuan’s desire for the Hell Demon Sword. Few can resist the allure of power.
Right now, Huang Yi is still in the sky above the Star of Corruption, with no one around him; it seems they have all moved to the Hell Star.
He immediately flapped the Sun-Chasing Dragon’s Wings and flew away from the Star of Corruption, heading to outer space.
In the distance, the Hell Star is in great chaos, with light waves erupting everywhere, and various shock waves sweeping across the surface, visible from afar.
The disturbances on the Star of Destruction are much more solitary, with only the King of Annihilation and the War Master causing destruction.
Huang Yi pondered for a moment and simply, flew toward the Star of Destruction.
The Hell Star has the King of Hell there; going to assist won’t have a massive impact. But if he goes to the Star of Destruction, he might be able to help the War Master defeat the King of Annihilation.
Before long, Huang Yi arrived above the Star of Destruction. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
This place is a world akin to doomsday, with Magma flowing everywhere and erupting volcanoes scattered all around.
In one region, there lies a mountain of corpses made from the bones of countless Magical Beasts, with surging ominous energy spreading afar, resembling a plateau, surrounded by a Sea of Magma.
This is the enormous Altar of Destruction, where currently, the King of Annihilation and the War Master are engaged in combat.
With each move they make, countless bones are shattered from the altar; it has become a mess, unrecognizable as an altar.
"Boom!" Just as the King of Annihilation dodged a blow from the War Master, Huang Yi’s figure suddenly appeared behind him, with the Slaughter Blade fiercely slashing at the King of Annihilation’s waist.
"Bang!" The King of Annihilation flew backward instantly, with a terrifying wound appearing at his waist, from which torrential Magma spewed out.
Huang Yi continued pursuing at high speed, slashing repeatedly at the King of Annihilation.
The King of Annihilation suffered heavy blows repeatedly, rapidly accumulating wounds on his body, and hurriedly wielded the Axe of Destruction to block, but could not keep up with defending against every strike.
Moreover, even the few attacks he barely managed to block transmitted an irresistible force that rebounded the Axe of Destruction.
At this moment, behind Huang Yi, a pair of wings, red as dripping blood, were flapping.
These are the Wings of Slaughter flapped ten times!
Within this minute, his power can compare to a Tyrant Possession, yet without losing control.
He aimed for the element of surprise, hoping to deal as much damage to the King of Annihilation before the arrival of the King of Hell.
The upper limit of his Power of the Nefalem is only 300 points, and this time, he spent 100 points.
The Power of the Nefalem is very precious, but it consumes very quickly, like the [Dark Seal] he often uses, which costs 10 points each time.
However, the natural recovery speed of the Power of the Nefalem is very slow. Plus, he is now at max level, unable to gain more Power of the Nefalem by leveling up.
His main recovery method relies on the 270-level Nefalem Talent—after killing enemies of Holy Elements or Dark Attribute, he can absorb their Holy Elements and Dark Attribute power, converting them into Power of the Nefalem.
Among the Dark Attribute ones are the Demonic Attributes—he recently killed over twenty Demon Clan Illusory Gods, each providing a massive amount of Power of the Nefalem; the aggregate from over twenty Demon Clan Illusory Gods equals more than a year’s natural recovery.
Yet even so, it hasn’t replenished the upper limit of 300 points.
"Doomsday!" After defending several times, the King of Annihilation finally ceased his futile resistance, quickly wielding the Axe of Destruction, drawing circles that emitted blazing radiance, rapidly expanding in size.
In the end, the King of Annihilation himself was engulfed by these circles, forming a Sun.
This is the King of Annihilation’s signature Ultimate Move—Doomsday.
Huang Yi had witnessed this move before; when an enemy’s attack strikes this Doomsday, it creates extremely powerful Doomsday Magma. This is the strongest Magma the King of Annihilation can produce, sourced from the Doomsday Volcano in the depths of the universe; even Void Gods falling into such Magma would be incinerated to ash.
However, once an enemy’s attack exceeds the limits Doomsday can endure, Doomsday will shatter.
Huang Yi stopped dispersing his attacks and, though he can perform Unlimited Teleportation, the more frequently he teleports, the lower his Attack Power becomes.
He arrived above the Doomsday, took a deep breath, raised the Slaughter Blade high, and struck with all his might.
