Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1316 - 1251: Evolution of the Poison Heart
Time passed second by second, yet Huang Yi remained perfectly composed, even showing a smile, looking in a good mood.
Gui Tianzhu, seeing Huang Yi in such a state, felt incredibly puzzled.
A God-sealing Kiss of Death, something that even a Void God would fall victim to, should have affected Huang Yi long ago. Yet, so much time had passed, and Huang Yi showed no signs of any abnormality.
Gui Tianzhu could no longer hold back and casually chatted, "The wine of our Naga tribe tastes good, doesn’t it?"
"Yes! It’s indeed very good, with a long-lasting aftertaste. I can still feel its fragrance now." Huang Yi nodded, slightly closed his eyes, licked his lips, and showed a savoring expression.
"So, what’s particularly special about the taste of this wine?" Gui Tianzhu pressed further.
"I can’t say, but I like it a lot. If you don’t mind, I’d like to drink a couple more cups." Huang Yi chuckled.
"Haha, well..." Gui Tianzhu’s mouth twitched as he gave a dry laugh. Even if he wanted Huang Yi to drink more of the poisonous wine, each drop of the God-sealing Kiss of Death was extremely precious. He couldn’t afford to waste two more drops on Huang Yi.
At this moment, Huang Yi clearly felt that the God-sealing Kiss of Death was coursing through his body, gradually permeating his entire being.
Not only did he not feel discomfort, but he felt as though he had received immense nourishment, being in an extremely comfortable state.
After a while, the toxins in his body flowed back to his heart through his bloodstream, gathering at his heart.
His heart beat violently a few times, as if suddenly infused with a powerful energy, the strength of its beat so intense that his whole body trembled and shivered continuously.
Seeing Huang Yi’s body tremble, Gui Tianzhu couldn’t help but rejoice and asked, "God of Slaughter, what’s wrong?"
This sentence was originally meant to be one of concern, but Gui Tianzhu’s expression was full of excitement. He eagerly awaited Huang Yi to say words like "I’m in pain" or "I feel terrible."
"Nothing, I’m quite well!" Huang Yi smiled slightly.
"Is that so? That’s good, I thought something had happened to you." Gui Tianzhu’s eyes dimmed slightly, showing a hint of disappointment.
At that moment, Huang Yi finally received the long-awaited system prompt— 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"[System Prompt]: You have absorbed a drop of God-sealing Kiss of Death, resulting in a qualitative leap in your ability to secrete Kiss of Death. Your heart has evolved into [Poison Heart]. You can currently secrete [Kiss of Death (Level II Enhancement)], with a potency capable of directly poisoning enemies below the Divine Domain level and having some effect on Divine Domain powerhouses. The higher the toxin’s concentration, the stronger the enemies it can affect."
Indeed, after drinking an entire drop of the God-sealing Kiss of Death, this ability had been elevated once again!
The last time, in Dragon Fall Valley, he absorbed the lingering breath of Nashash’s Sealer of Gods’ Kiss of Death, which strengthened his ability to secrete toxins.
This time, he directly absorbed an entire drop of Kiss of Death!
This was no mere lingering breath, nor was it diluted in the air—it was an exceedingly precious drop of original essence!
Such a drop of original essence could even affect a powerhouse like the Queen of Agony, and now Huang Yi had absorbed it all!
The result was that his heart directly evolved into a Poison Heart!
Among the three great treasures inherited by the Nashash Clan, one of them is [Taloyag’s Poison Heart]!
In the Nashash Clan, only the top-level poison masters have the ability to have a Poison Heart, and ordinary Nashash wouldn’t have such fortune.
And now, Huang Yi had obtained this great fortune!
With this Poison Heart, he can now secrete Kiss of Death, and as long as the concentration reaches a certain level, everyone below the Divine Domain must perish.
If the secretion lasts long enough and the concentration is high enough, it could even affect Divine Domain experts.
This was Huang Yi’s first true means of continuously threatening Divine Domain experts!
In the past, although he had fought against Divine Domain experts, none of those methods could be used easily, as they had significant limitations.
But from now on, as long as he was alive, he could secrete Kiss of Death without any time restriction or consumption constraints, continuing indefinitely!
At this moment, Huang Yi turned to Gui Tianzhu and said loudly, "We’ve waited long enough; it’s time to set out! Quickly lead all your Divine Domain experts to help The Second World! We have already signed the Promise Contract, and the representatives of all these factions present are witnesses. You wouldn’t want to go back on your word, would you?"
The experts from various factions present also started making a commotion—
"Indeed! Gui Tianzhu, you swore it yourself. With your status, there’s no need to deny it, right?"
"When you Nagas drank the Alliance Wine with us, you were very sincere. If you don’t go to help when an ally is in trouble, we’ll be disappointed."
...
Although the representatives of various factions present did not favor Huang Yi, they were keen to see whether the Nagas were truly willing to help their allies.
Previously, they drank Alliance Wine with the Nagas, compelled by the severe situation of the First World, forced to unite against the Demon Clan, not truly believing the Nagas wholeheartedly wanted to form an alliance with them. If the Nagas were really willing to help Huang Yi, then they would truly believe in the sincerity of the Nagas.
Gui Tianzhu, under the pressure of the situation, said frankly, "Our Nagas keep our word, how could we go back on it?"
Saying so, he turned to look at Huang Yi and said, "Don’t rush. Our Divine Domain masters are scattered across the various seas of the First World. Gathering them requires time, so give us a day, and we’ll definitely set off by this time tomorrow!"
"Alright! It’s settled then. If you haven’t set off by this time tomorrow, I’ll take it as you breaking your promise." Huang Yi nodded.
"We wouldn’t possibly break it!" Gui Tianzhu smiled confidently.
Although he didn’t know whatever special reasons Huang Yi might have for holding back for so long, he had absolute confidence in the God-sealing Kiss of Death, no matter how unusual Huang Yi was, he couldn’t delay it for a day.
By this time tomorrow, Huang Yi would certainly have died from poison, and by then, the Promise Contract would naturally become invalid.
...
The next day, Huang Yi logged in early.
This was the first day The Second World was sealed by the World-Ending Formation, and the forums were certainly in an uproar.
After entering the forum, as expected, all posts were about the news of the World-Ending Formation sealing The Second World!
"Unprecedented catastrophe! The Demon Clan arranges the World-Ending Formation, completely sealing The Second World!"
"The God of Slaughter, using the avatar of the World’s Guardian, releases a declaration, uniting all powers in The Second World to resist the calamity! A nationwide discussion on countermeasures!"
"The World-Ending Formation triggers towering tsunamis, submerging over three thousand Intermediate or higher-level cities worldwide, with billions of casualties!"
"The largest port on the Pova Continent begins to freeze, tens of thousands of ships scramble to depart!"
"On the first day of the apocalypse, The Second World loses sunlight, the average global temperature drops by 12°C! It’s predicted that within a week, temperatures worldwide will fall below 0°C, with some regions dropping to minus 100°C."
"Five hours into the apocalypse, the world’s highest peak, Heavenly Pearl Peak, collapses! The roof of the world, Heavenpulse Plateau, average altitude drops by 2300 meters."
"Geologists from Oskan Royal Academy estimate that the equator length of The Second World shortens by 1.3%, and the planet’s volume is shrinking."
"The great extinction of species begins! Large-scale deaths of flora and fauna globally, tragically refined by the World-Ending Formation!"
"The Second World is on the brink of destruction, Demon Clan players revel in it! Heavenly Demon makes record progress on the 300th floor of the Tower of Pantheons; Spirit Demon wears a smile during a TV interview..."
...
One shocking post after another unfolded before Huang Yi’s eyes.
The Second World had been sealed by the World-Ending Formation for only the first day, yet various tragic events occurred, massive changes in geographical structures, mass extinction of the biosphere, and rapid destruction of civilizational achievements.
In comparison, the previous impacts players had on The Second World seemed so insignificant.
"The Second World tragically struck by the apocalypse, many masters traveling in other worlds quickly made declarations to immediately return to save The Second World!"
At this moment, Huang Yi suddenly saw a high-response thread and couldn’t help but click in to take a look.
"After The Second World suffered the apocalypse, Masters who were traveling in other worlds quickly made declarations, expressing concern for their home planet and announcing their return from various worlds. The first to make a declaration was the famous Super First-Class Master, once the world’s number one master—Dao Feng. Subsequently, renowned players like Ganges from Melva World, Ice Queen from Ice and Snow Plane, and Giant Bear from Sky Forest World also made declarations to immediately return to The Second World..."
Seeing this news, Huang Yi finally felt a bit of solace. Those masters traveling in various worlds were indeed an unignorable powerful force of players.
A while ago, Dao Feng traveled to the Third World, seeking some clues about one of the Third World’s strongest God Sealers, Takasma, who had given guidance to the Sword Emperor, thus perfecting his Sword Emperor heritage and later causing disturbances in the Third World, seemingly reaping great rewards.
The Ice Queen, Frozen Lemongrass, followed a secret mission from Oskan Royal Academy to the Ice and Snow Plane, executing an important task.
Ganges, who traveled to Melva World, had deep ties with the World Tree. There was a giant tree in the ocean of Melva World, originating from a seed of the World Tree. Ganges had been there for a while, and his branch of the World Tree should have increased in power considerably.
Giant Bear traveled to Sky Forest World, where the God Hunter resides, a world known as one of the top ten strongest in the known universe. Recent news claimed that Giant Bear discovered the God Hunter’s Treasure Vault and would soon perfect his God Hunter heritage.
Aside from them, many secondary masters were all perfecting their adventures in various worlds.
If all these masters return, they might be able to cause some unpredictable interference outside The Second World to the World-Ending Formation.
After all, they’ve gone to various peculiar worlds, surely possessing some new, different-than-Second-World methods to interfere with the World-Ending Formation, producing unexpected effects.

Some readers say that using wine is not good, too stiff. Actually, my previous thought was to have Huang Yi being waited upon by a maid bringing tea during his wait, at which point the poisoning would seem normal. Writing it as Alliance Wine now is mainly to mock how the Nagas verbally emphasize the alliance relationship but are actually insincere.
