Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1296 - 1231: The Enormous Shadow Beneath the River

Chapter 1296: Chapter 1231: The Enormous Shadow Beneath the River

A day has passed, and Huang Yi has already released 31 demigods and 10 void gods.

Among these 10 void gods, two were once mortal gods, who, before being imprisoned, could only hide in the Demon-Sealing Space to escape the pull of the Heaven Realm. But now, their powers have greatly diminished, so even if they are released, they won’t achieve Divine Enthronement.

Another two used to be deities, one named Celestial God - Huanyuan, from the Divine Realm. The other is Furious Sovereign - Izexius, a God Sealer from the Alz World.

Alz World is one of the top ten powerful worlds, where six God Sealers were born. The previous Harbinger of Doomsday, Lucifer, was also a God Sealer from Alz World.

These two former deities have now both fallen to the level of void gods, becoming false gods, and their numbers are within the top 30.

The criminals numbered in the top 30 were formerly demon gods or mortal gods, and some even deities from the Underworld. However, until now, Huang Yi has only encountered false gods with damaged divinity and has yet to see a truly complete deity.

At this moment, Huang Yi arrived at the door of cell number 23.

This was his second-to-last key; all other keys had already been used. Apart from the cells with no criminals and those who refused to become Guardians, all the other criminals had been released, becoming Guardians of the Hero Empire.

Huang Yi inserted the key and opened the door to cell 23.

Outside the cell was a roaring, surging river, majestically rushing from the horizon. High cliffs rose on both banks, with numerous bends, the river water turbulent and deep, seemingly a river monster often frequents, making it impossible to navigate on the river.

The doors to cells numbered in the top 30 are like individual scenes, no longer resembling ordinary cells. Celestial God - Huanyuan was number 27, and the scene in the cell was a mysterious sea shimmering with magical light. Furious Sovereign - Izexius was number 24, and the scene in the cell was a desert engulfed in a sea of fire.

As for cell numbers 30, 28, 26, and 25, when Huang Yi entered, he couldn’t find any criminals. It’s unknown whether there were no criminals held inside or whether the criminals were hiding so well that they couldn’t be found.

Huang Yi emerged from the cell door, suddenly appearing above the great river.

The sky was overcast, with thick clouds pressing down over the cliffs on both banks, feeling as if they might collapse at any moment, bringing a sense of inexplicable oppression.

The thunderous sound of the rushing river echoed, whipping up a fierce wind within the gorge between the cliffs, causing Huang Yi’s clothes to flap wildly!

This was an evil river, wherever it led, disaster would surely follow!

Huang Yi headed toward the source of the evil river, flying against the wind.

The closer he flew to the source, the more perilous the river below became, with occasional giant stones falling from the cliff edges, causing towering water waves in the turbulent river!

At this time, Huang Yi saw two massive chains from afar! These chains were anchored into the cliff rocks on both banks, with the other ends submerged in the turbulent river water, buffeted by the current.

His treasure-sniffing ability sensed that those two chains were treasures still wielding immense power!

Huang Yi hurriedly flew over, landing beside the chains to observe them closely.

The chains were made of a black, heavy material with protruding red granules, seemingly containing blood, like a living organism.

"God Demon Blood Steel!" Huang Yi exclaimed in surprise! God Demon Blood Steel is a rare material that is only produced in small amounts in the Blood Abyss of the Demon Realm, often used to create Divine Artifacts and Magic Instruments. The Axe of Destruction, a Magic Instrument of the King of Annihilation, was made primarily from God Demon Blood Steel.

The two massive chains before him were actually made of God Demon Blood Steel, almost like embryonic Divine Artifacts!

"Boom~" At this moment, the two chains suddenly tightened, pulled straight!

Huang Yi quickly dodged, nearly getting struck by the chains, but even so, he was scratched by the wind force of the chains.

The chains emitted a "creaking" sound, as if stretched to the limit, on the verge of snapping.

The part of the chains submerged in the river was stretching towards the downstream of the evil river, seemingly suddenly tugged by something underwater, stirring up towering waves!

Numerous stones fell from the cliffs, crashing into the river, exacerbating the turbulence of the water!

Huang Yi could vaguely make out a giant shadow at the bottom of the river, strenuously swimming downstream. But the two massive chains held the shadow in place, causing it to struggle, pulling the chains tight.

"What kind of river monster is this?! Being imprisoned in Heroes’ Prison is one thing, but it’s also bound by these two massive chains!" Huang Yi wondered, surprised.

The shadow beneath the river evoked a chilling sensation, as if it could break free from the river at any moment and swallow him whole.

The reason this river was so treacherous, with rushing currents and towering waves, was not only due to the terrain but predominantly because of the havoc the river monster was wreaking from the depths.

What kind of river monster requires binding with God Demon Blood Steel?

"Boom!" Suddenly, the river water surged skyward!

The shadow beneath the river seemed to have flipped over, lifting the entire surface of the river.

Between the river waves, its scales began to emerge. It was a creature resembling a snake, but with scales larger and more menacing than snake scales, claws growing from its belly, and spines protruding from its back, extremely ferocious.

"It resembles the ancient Chinese flood dragon!" Huang Yi thought, startled.

Dragons in The Second World mostly have wings, depicted as Western dragons. There are very few with the image of Eastern dragons.

Yet the river monster beneath the water had an appearance reminiscent of an Eastern dragon.

Huang Yi flew higher to ensure a safe distance before speaking loudly towards the river below: "I am the current master of Heroes’ Prison."

"Roar~!" From the depths of the river came a thunderous roar, shaking the heavens and causing the river water to fly into the sky, descending as a heavy rain, seemingly responding to Huang Yi’s words.

Steadying his mind, Huang Yi continued to shout loudly: "As long as you agree to become a Guardian of my Hero Empire and sign the contract, I can unlock your chains and grant you freedom!"

The depths of the river suddenly calmed, with the river monster showing no movement.

The ever-turbulent river surface gradually settled, but beneath the seemingly tranquil water surface, it only grew more unsettling.
