Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1245 - 1182: Demon Clan Life Token

He had previously heard the nearby Demon Clan discussing that nothing had been happening in the Demon Cave for several days, and it seemed that the Demon King was no longer inside.

Besides the Demon King, no one else could enter the Demon Cave, and it was likely empty inside. Now was a great opportunity, and if he could enter that cave, he might be able to uncover some secrets of the Demon Clan.

Having made up his mind, he immediately flew towards the Demon Cave.

The closer he got, the more majestic and eerie the Demon Cave appeared, like a massive blackened wound on the earth. Inside, black mist swirled, bottomless and unknown.

When he was close enough, Huang Yi immediately flapped the Wings of Freedom on his back, activated their effect, and entered a 20-second Stealth Mode.

After evolving into the Clan of Light, his Invisibility ability had reached Divine Level, so unless encountering a God Sealer, even those with Absolute Revelation ability wouldn’t be able to see him.

Huang Yi took advantage of the Stealth Mode, flew above the Demon Cave, and directly descended into it.

As he descended to the entrance of the Demon Cave, he discovered a faint black film above, a mystical barrier of the Demon Clan, isolating the cave from the outside world.

It was obvious that the barrier was meant to block outsiders, allowing only the Demon King to pass through. Besides the Demon King, anyone else, including the renowned Demigod experts in the Demon Clan, would be stopped by this barrier.

Huang Yi’s body abruptly transformed, switching to the form of the Clan of Light, transforming into the Dark King, and directly fell towards the barrier.

Soon, his body touched the barrier!

In the next moment, the barrier, like the surface of water, offered no resistance and smoothly let him merge in.

Finally, he silently pierced through the barrier, successfully entering the Demon Cave.

After transforming into the Dark King, Huang Yi became the true Dark King. He had originally evolved using the Dark King’s blood, with everything inside him identical to the Dark King, not just a disguise. Hence, whether it was the Pain Cult Master, an ancient Demigod, or this mystical barrier, they all considered him as the Dark King, completely unaware he was Huang Yi.

Unless it was a figure like the Six Great Demon Kings, who could rely on the faint spiritual link between Demon Kings, would they be able to discern that there was something wrong with this Dark King being Huang Yi.

Upon entering the Demon Cave, it was pitch black all around, not a single thing visible even if one stretched out a hand, and only with extremely high Dark Vision could a bit of the surroundings be perceived. But after evolving into the Clan of Light, Huang Yi’s visual ability greatly improved, allowing him to easily see in such an environment.

However, he still couldn’t determine how deep the Demon Cave truly was, as the tunnel extended downward endlessly.

He used the fastest speed he could muster, plunging rapidly into the depths of the Demon Cave.

After a long descent, he finally reached the ground, and the passage began to turn into a horizontal tunnel. Huang Yi continued walking down the tunnel.

After advancing a certain distance, the passage suddenly opened up into a vast underground space.

At this moment, he stood at the tunnel entrance, located on a cliff’s mid-height, overlooking the underground space below, which stretched extensively and seemingly endless.

This underground space was exceptionally peculiar, filled with countless glowing points, numbering in the billions, resembling a stunning starry sky where each light point appeared as a star.

Huang Yi flew down personally, examining those countless glowing points up close, only to discover they were luminous jade plaques, each inscribed with a name.

Additionally, each adjacent jade plaque was connected by a glowing line, seeming to have some relationship with one another.

All the jade plaques presented a seemingly chaotic yet subtly orderly arrangement.

Huang Yi also noticed some of the plaques had lost their light, and once a plaque extinguished, all connected plaques behind it also darkened, while those in front remained unaffected.

This phenomenon was akin to a water pipe connected to multiple gates; once one gate was closed, no water flowed through the pipes behind it while those in front remained unaffected. The front gate influences all the subsequent gates.

This subtly indicated the greater importance of the front plaques.

Huang Yi flew directly forward, swiftly passing over the glowing mass of plaques below, as if navigating a starry sky.

Countless jade plaques extinguished every moment along the way. Once a plaque went out, all interconnected plaques behind it extinguished instantly as well.

The further he flew, the larger the plaques ahead became, while their numbers decreased, each connected to countless other plaques, forming numerous branches.

However, these plaques were notably stronger, rarely extinguishing and mostly shining stably.

After flying for some time, Huang Yi finally encountered no more extinguishing plaques, having almost reached the end of this underground space.

In the distance stood the foremost of all the jade plaques, where seven enormous, brightly glowing jade plaques prominently stood!

The seven jade plaques stand like seven insurmountable mountains, in a tyrannical posture, proudly at the forefront. All the jade plaques seen before have extended from these seven colossal plaques; they are the source of all jade plaques!

Among them, the one in the middle is the tallest, like the king among all the jade plaques, to which all other jade plaques look up.

On the seven jade plaques are distinctly inscribed the titles of The Seven Archdemons, with the tallest plaque in the middle bearing four bold characters — King of Hell!

Upon seeing these seven jade plaques, Huang Yi instantly speculated on the nature of these plaques — Life Tokens!

Life Tokens are like signal lamps indicating whether a person is alive; many powers have such Life Token facilities to detect the life status of important members. If a member dies, then the corresponding Life Token will extinguish!

The billions of glowing jade plaques in this underground world are almost identical to Life Tokens. Each jade plaque represents a member of the Demon Clan; those lit plaques represent the living Demons, while those extinguished reflect the corresponding Demon has met death.

The connections between those jade plaques clearly depict the master-servant contract relationships; the plaques in front are connected to ones behind, showing the identity of the former Demon is higher, and the latter plaque is his servant, thus they have a master-servant contract. So, if the one in front dies, those behind who have signed a master-servant contract will also perish alongside their master.

This is why, once the plaques in front extinguish, all connected in the back follow in ending as well.

However, these Life Tokens likely aren’t for the entire Demon Clan since the Clan’s number is nearly infinite and surely outnumbers these plaques. It is estimated that these billions of jade plaques in this underground space merely represent the forces dispatched by the Demon Clan to conquer the First World.

Huang Yi roughly scanned, below the Life Tokens of The Seven Archdemons, are connected thirty-six Life Tokens, which are the direct subordinates of The Seven Archdemons. If The Seven Archdemons count as the Level 1 seniors of the Demon Clan, then these thirty-six Life Tokens represent the Level 2 seniors, who are of noble descent, almost all are Demigod experts.

Among the thirty-six Second Level Life Tokens, three have already extinguished, signifying three Demon Clan Demigods have been slain in this war. Countless Life Tokens connected behind them also extinguished following their termination, extending backward, forming three paths of darkness amidst the densely packed lights of the plaques.

At this moment, Huang Yi felt slight astonishment, suddenly spotting two familiar names — Spirit Demon and Heavenly Demon!

Their Life Tokens directly connect from the King of Hell’s Life Token, making them Second Level seniors under the King of Hell’s command!

Though being called New Kings, Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon have not truly stood as equals with The Seven Archdemons.

They are more noble than all other Second Level seniors, yet inevitably remain the subordinates of the King of Hell.

Behind their glorious facade lies the shameful status of a servant! Their destinies are not self-determined but held within the grasp of the King of Hell.

Huang Yi turned and looked toward the Life Token of the Queen of Agony.

Connected under the Life Token of the Queen of Agony are four Second Level Life Tokens, representing that her sect has four Second Level seniors waging battle in the First World, their names are —

Blood Demon

Pain Master Grohl the Regretful

Unbeaten

Wastrel King Liuyi

Among them, the first three names were very familiar to Huang Yi.

Long ago, Huang Yi knew both Blood Demon and Unbeaten were subordinates of the Queen of Agony. On his first entry through the Demon King’s Gate of the Abyss on Hero’s Continent into the realm where The Seven Archdemons dwell, he happened upon Blood Demon and Unbeaten, and from their conversation, it was revealed that they were under the command of the Queen of Agony.

Huang Yi’s gaze fixated on the name Blood Demon, and a faint sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He originally thought after Blood Demon advanced to Demon King, there might be a shift from the Queen of Agony’s command to under the King of Hell, but unexpectedly, he remains a contracted servant of the Queen of Agony.

This way, handling Blood Demon becomes easy!

Because Blood Demon’s fate is in the hands of the Queen of Agony, and the fate of the Queen of Agony is in Huang Yi’s control!

Blood Demon is a contracted servant of the Queen of Agony; as long as Huang Yi kills the Queen of Agony, it equates to killing Blood Demon!

Moreover, all the Demon Clan under the Queen of Agony, including Pain Master, Unbeaten, Wastrel King Liuyi, etc., will perish!

Killing one Queen of Agony is tantamount to eradicating one-seventh of the Demon Clan, amounting likely to tens of trillions!

Huang Yi first learned that Blood Demon and Unbeaten were under the Queen of Agony in Chapter 388
