Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1179 - 1118: God Crystal Stone

The Kiss of Death will poison people without them realizing it, but it takes some time for the poison to take effect.

After Huang Yi finished detoxifying in the city, he immediately headed to the Magic Tower at the center of the Holy City.

From afar, Huang Yi saw a towering structure reaching high into the clouds at the center of the Holy City. The pointed top of the tower emitted a massive red light pillar that shot up into the sky, piercing the Heavenly Curtain Barrier like the ribs of an umbrella, holding up the vast canopy of the barrier.

This red light pillar continuously channeled immense energy into the sky, maintaining the expenditure of the Heavenly Curtain Barrier.

This kind of Heavenly Curtain Barrier is the top-level class, requiring at least the burning of Holy Crystal Stones to provide energy. When fully activated, it demands the burning of even higher-level Sky Crystal Stones to supply energy. In the most urgent situations, it might even utilize legendary God Crystal Stones.

After approaching the Magic Tower, in a secluded alley, Huang Yi used the ability of his Fake Hat, and with a slight shift of his body, he transformed into the form of a Half-Beastmen elder, then strode toward the entrance of the Magic Tower.

There were two rows of fully armed guards in front of the Magic Tower entrance. Upon seeing Huang Yi coming, they immediately bowed and saluted.

Huang Yi directly bypassed them and walked inside the Magic Tower.

Inside the Magic Tower, a spiraling stone staircase wound upwards, leading to a higher place. Huang Yi climbed up this stairway all the way until he reached the upper levels.

At this moment, the place was bustling with activity. A massive Magic Furnace stood in the center, roaring with tremendous noise.

Half-Beastmen surrounded it, performing various operations.

At the fuel entrance, several Half-Beastmen were using shovels to scoop piles of Holy Crystal Stones from the ground and load them into the Magic Furnace, similar to shoveling coal.

A Half-Beastman who seemed to be a leader was holding a handful of Sky Crystal Stones and tossed them into the Magic Furnace like throwing stones, burning along with the Holy Crystal Stones.

Every moment, immense wealth was turned to ashes in that Magic Furnace.

At this time, Huang Yi was attracted to something else.

It was a high platform, upon which stood a crystal plate, and on the plate lay a red-glowing transparent crystal. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The crystal had no impurities, was crystal clear and bright, and placed on the platform like a rare treasure exhibited in a museum.

The red glow it emitted carried a rich aura of Divine Power. Although it was solitary, it felt like the unique protagonist, its aura surpassing the pile of Holy Crystal Stones on the ground, and even the handful of Sky Crystal Stones held by the Half-Beastman leader.

Compared to it, those Holy Crystal Stones and Sky Crystal Stones seemed as insignificant as broken stones on the roadside.

God Crystal Stone!

Huang Yi instantly recognized this crystal!

A God Crystal Stone is an item containing Divine Power; those Divine Crystal Vials specifically used to hold top-tier liquid are made from God Crystal Stones.

Even Demigod powerhouses are in dire need of such treasures. Nature’s spiritual energy, after a long evolution, condenses into a higher-level Force of the World, determining a world’s strength and lifespan. After reaching the Demigod Level, one must absorb the Force of the World to refine it into Divine Power, storing it within.

But the Second World’s nature’s spiritual energy is extremely impoverished, and the Force of the World has also vanished entirely. Even the vice president of Oskan Royal Academy, Divinr Marksman Ica, finds it hard to absorb the Force of the World to refine Divine Power in this barren world. However, with the God Crystal Stone, one can directly absorb its Divine Power, skipping the refining process altogether.

If enough God Crystal Stones are available for absorption, a Demigod can rapidly convert all the strength within into Divine Power, reaching the coveted Void God realm.

The many Semigod Guardians of the Heroes’ Prison are all seeking opportunities to become Void Gods, and God Crystal Stones are precisely the treasures they crave.

Unexpectedly, a God Crystal Stone appeared in this Half-Beast Holy Land; indeed, it is a profoundly rich Racial Holy Land.

At this time, the busy Half-Beastmen in the Magic Tower all noticed Huang Yi’s arrival, and they suddenly straightened up, watching him.

Only then did Huang Yi reluctantly move his gaze away from the God Crystal Stone on the platform, feigning a look around, and said, "The God of Slaughter is about to lead the army to attack. The Heavenly Curtain Barrier is the first line of defense. You must ensure the normal operation of the Magic Furnace to hold up the Heavenly Curtain Barrier and protect our Holy Land!"

"Yes!" The Half-Beastmen’s expressions were solemn as they responded in unison.

No one realized that with Huang Yi’s arrival, the air was already filled with the poison from the Kiss of Death, which everyone in the Magic Tower had inhaled, lying dormant in their bodies, waiting to take effect.

...

Huang Yi’s incarnation was leading a six-million-strong army, rapidly flying toward the Half-Beast Holy Land.

Along the way, all the flying birds, seeing Huang Yi’s army, flapped their wings in terror and flew around it.

In the wilderness forests below, the wild animals sensed the intense killing intent, shivering as they hid in caves, not daring to come out.

When passing over those towns, countless residents gathered on the streets, raising their heads to watch this massive army fly over.

Huang Yi’s incarnation led the troops over mountains, across rivers, through forests, over swamps, and finally entered the Pens Plains.

The terrain here was flat and boundless. From afar, everyone could already see in the distance on the plains, a giant red barrier had risen over the fertile and rich land, like a huge protective umbrella shielding the area.

That’s the Half-Beast Holy Land!

The massive red barrier is the Heavenly Curtain Barrier of the Half-Beast Holy Land, now fully activated, ready to resist the assault from their army!

"Corps, take your positions!" commanded Huang Yi’s incarnation.

The captains of each corps began to spread their troops out, encircling the Half-Beast Holy Land from different directions. Each formation resembled a giant dragon, wildly dancing across the vast wilderness skies.

Most participants in this operation were players, with NPCs only accounting for a small portion.

Huang Yi’s newly recruited Dragonkin Grand General—Yue Hao—was the strongest in the entire army, with power reaching the Ascension Tier.

At this moment, he was clad in heavy armor, riding a tall steed, tightly holding a Blood-Drinking Long Knife, his cloak slightly fluttering behind him, exuding a rich, bloodthirsty aura.

Behind him was a million-strong army, specially allocated by Huang Yi for him to command.

This unit was the main assault force, gathering the most experts, and tasked with playing the pivotal role in the upcoming battle.
