Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1201 - 1140: Stepping Into the Ascension Stage

Chapter 1201: Chapter 1140: Stepping Into the Ascension Stage

He looked up at the moon in the night sky, with a slight smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

"Look! The God of Slaughter has finally opened his eyes. Does this mean he will make a new move?" At this time, some spectators who had been steadfastly waiting here noticed this detail and exclaimed with eager anticipation.

The reporters who hadn’t yet signed off also swiftly focused their gaze on Huang Yi, broadcasting his every move live.

A pair of lazy eyes suddenly re-focused, staring intently at Huang Yi. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"God of Slaughter, have you finally reached your limit?" In the Void Battlefield, the High Priest Li Ge stared at Huang Yi, crossing his arms with a cold smile.

"It’s indeed very tough enduring, but no matter what, at the very least, I must endure until next month." Huang Yi gazed up at the moon approaching the zenith, speaking solemnly.

"Hmm? Midnight is about to arrive, and it will be next month soon. What significance is there in delaying it for a while?" The High Priest Li Ge frowned slightly.

"The significance is immense." Huang Yi said, glancing at the system time. It was already 23:59:45.

"People grow with time, but High Priest Li Ge, people like you are just considered as aging."

23:59:51

"Do you understand the difference between growth and aging?"

23:59:53

"If the passage of time doesn’t bring psychological maturity, then it’s not growth, it’s aging.

23:59:55

"Despite your age, you still lack patience, which shows that over the years, you have not grown but aged."

23:59:57

"I don’t want to age, so every month, I undergo some changes."

23:59:59

"For instance... right now!"

0:00:00

With Huang Yi’s words just ending, it turned exactly midnight!

A new month has arrived!

In a flash, a dazzling golden light surged from Huang Yi’s body.

In the boundless night, this golden light seemed like a spark among the stars, small yet capturing the world’s attention.

This kind of golden light was too familiar.

Almost everyone had experienced this golden light shining on them before, sometimes flashing many times a day.

This was unmistakably the light that appears during leveling up!

During leveling up, as long as the player isn’t in special situations like invisibility or nothingness, they would emit dazzling golden light.

Just now, it was clear that Huang Yi had leveled up.

In his Godslayer’s Naming, there was an attribute stating — on the first day of each month, automatically level up by one.

It’s a new month now, and this attribute has been activated.

The audience worldwide was momentarily stunned, and then quickly reacted.

"God of Slaughter has reached the threshold of Ascension!" exclaimed a reporter, "The God of Slaughter was previously Level 289, but now he’s leveled up, making him Level 290, beginning to touch the threshold of the Ascension Stage!"

"The God of Slaughter has finally reached this historic moment, where next up is the Ascension Stage! The world’s first person to touch the threshold of ascension has finally emerged! The God of Slaughter still firmly holds the first position in the world rankings, and in terms of skill, he might not surpass those with finished divine artifacts like Thunder God and Pharaoh, but in terms of level, he is the King of the World!"

"Could the God of Slaughter’s countermeasure refer to his ability to reach Level 290? But even at Level 290, he still can’t be a match for High Priest Li Ge! The gap between them is too large; a mere level cannot bridge it!"

In the Void Battlefield, High Priest Li Ge shot a slightly surprised glance at Huang Yi but then quickly revealed an indifferent smile: "God of Slaughter, I didn’t expect you had this trick! However, even with this, it won’t do any good. There’s an insurmountable chasm between you and me."

"Insurmountable?" Huang Yi shook his head, smiled, "I think not necessarily!"

After speaking, he flicked his wrist and took out a bead. This bead was only thumb-sized, entirely black and semi-transparent, emitting an extremely thick heavenly realm aura.

The spectators and reporters fixed their eyes on this bead, exclaiming out loud!

"My God! That’s a Demon Core! Such a rich heavenly realm aura, at least a top-level heavenly realm Demon Core!"

"The Demon Clan, upon reaching the high-level heavenly realm, gains the ability for alchemy infusion, often refining their Demon Core for strengthening their own power, rather than leaving the Demon Core; killing such demons rarely yields a Demon Core, so Demon Cores at the senior heavenly domain level are extraordinarily rare, each one is a rare treasure, and the God of Slaughter actually produced a more potent top-level heavenly realm Demon Core! If an ordinary person got this Demon Core, selling it at the auction could let them live a life of riches and luxury, completely altering their life trajectory. The God of Slaughter truly has an endless flow of treasures; just now took out an ancient battle flag, and now a Level 290 Demon Core! How many more treasures does he have hidden away?"

"My heavens! After the God of Slaughter consumes this Level 290 Demon Core, he will break through to the Ascension Tier! He will become a Level 291 One Step to Heaven Stronghold! This marks the players entering the ascension era! The progress is pulling too fast!"

The High Priest Li Ge saw the bead in Huang Yi’s hand; his face slightly changed, speaking seriously: "This tier of Demon Core, it’s my first time seeing it. I must say your methods are truly eye-opening; just after leveling up to Level 290, you’ve taken out a Level 290 Demon Core, stepping into ascension. Yet, even if you enter ascension, it’s just the One Step to Heaven level, so what?"

Huang Yi didn’t reply, directly opened his mouth and swallowed the Level 290 Demon Core!

This Demon Core was obtained after he killed that Level 290 Fallen General back then!

This was his only top-level heavenly realm Demon Core; he subsequently killed many top-level heavenly domain demons, such as Pain Acolyte, Dark Priest, Undead Knight, etc., but never exploded with a Demon Core again.

The Demon Core melted upon entry, an unimaginable torrent of energy immediately rushed into Huang Yi’s limbs and bones, frantically enhancing his physical strength!

The next moment, an intense faint red light suddenly shone from his body!

The form of this light shining was identical to the previous golden level-up light, but the color turned into a faint red!

This is also the level-up light, though somewhat different!

Upon reaching the ascension stage, every level-up emits a red light, symbolizing a step taken on the Road to Ascension! As you progress each step, the red light becomes richer!

Red symbolizes divine power, is the emblem of the Divine Domain, and the ascension stage is the process of ascending towards the Divine Domain, so post ascension stage, each level-up is marked by a red glow!

As the red light dissipated, a brand new, terrifying aura immediately emanated from Huang Yi’s body!

This aura, even Huang Yi at Level 290 a moment ago, didn’t possess a shred or inch!

This is the aura exclusively belonging to the Ascension Stronghold!

From now, Huang Yi is an official Ascension Stronghold!
