Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1343 - 1277: Encounter with the Heavenly Demon
After the clone of the Demon King exploded into more than ten strands of demonic qi and attacked everyone’s eyes, it vanished without a trace.
"Everyone, don’t worry. I can restore your vision, but it will take some time." At this moment, the Thunder God reassured everyone.
He immediately wielded his Pillar of Sea God and cast the Divine Artifact skill—Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields on himself!
In the next instant, a drop of crystal-clear seawater emerged from the Pillar of Sea God and fell onto the Thunder God’s body.
Instantly, the Thunder God’s eyes returned to their original state, gleaming brightly and as good as new.
This Divine Artifact skill allows a target to permanently revert to a previous state, which can be freely adjusted up to 3 days prior, with the cooldown time equal to the duration of the skill’s effect.
This time, the Thunder God chose to revert to the state 3 seconds prior, when his eyes were still fine and hadn’t been attacked.
And so, the cooldown time for Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields was also set to 3 seconds.
After the 3-second cooldown period ended, the Thunder God used "Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields" on the Pharaoh, reverting him to the state 6 seconds prior.
Thus, the Pharaoh’s vision was restored, but the cooldown time for Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields became 6 seconds.
In this way, the Thunder God restored everyone’s vision one by one. With each restoration, the time to revert doubled, and the cooldown time doubled as well, taking a long time before restoring the next person’s vision.
Huang Yi led the remaining blind members and continued forward in the forest.
Since the Poet’s vision had not yet recovered, the audience worldwide, who were watching the live stream, could only stare at a black screen and listen to the sounds made by Huang Yi and others in the darkness as they ascended Purgatory Mountain through auditory cues.
Over an hour later, the Thunder God finally restored the vision of everyone!
Even though their vision was restored, everyone’s mood was heavy.
This was just a clone of the Demon King, and with just one attack, it caused such severe consequences!
If they encountered the Demon King himself, who knows what the outcome would be!
The Demon King truly deserved the title of the world’s top master player, for before anyone ascended to the Divine Domain, no player could come close to his match!
Even if Huang Yi wanted to deal with him, he could only secrete enough Kiss of Death at a certain concentration to make the Demon King inhale it.
But in front of the Demon King, could he manage to buy so much time?
After moving forward for a while, the pathfinder Fuchan Fenrao suddenly froze and lowered their voice to say, "There’s another group of Primitive people ahead, they’re moving forward!"
Everyone focused their gaze, and indeed saw a group of Primitive people dressed in leaves, huddling forward with small steps, likely another group of blindfolded people.
Huang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let’s follow them quietly! I reckon they’ll lead us to this stage’s BOSS! If we try to find it ourselves, who knows how long it will take to locate the BOSS point of this stage."
Subsequently, everyone quietly followed the group of Primitive people, crossing streams and leaping over mountain crevices. After trekking for more than half an hour, the group of Primitive people finally entered a cave.
The cave was located on an immense cliff, surrounded by primitive shrubbery, resembling the mouth of an ancient behemoth, ready to devour anything that enters.
"Let’s go in too!" Huang Yi looked at the cave and said solemnly, striding forward.
Everyone gripped their weapons tightly and entered the cave.
The top of the cave was covered with hanging stalactites, dripping water droplets, the ground was damp and uneven, a series of footprints stretched across the wet ground, extending into the darkness.
Everyone lightened their steps and began advancing into the cave.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" After moving forward for a while, a rhythmically heavy breathing sound suddenly came from the depths of the cave, resembling the sound of a bellows that disturbed the air in the cave.
Whenever that sound inhaled, the air was drawn into the depths of the cave from everyone’s direction, causing a gust of wind;
Whenever that sound exhaled, the air was expelled from the depths of the cave, bringing with it a strong stench of decay.
Everyone stared at the depths of the cave, feeling a shiver of anxiety, as it remained engulfed in darkness, concealing unknown entities.
Everyone proceeded carefully, and after rounding a corner, they finally arrived at a vast underground space.
At the center of the underground space lay an enormous coffin, as grand as a small mountain, and the heavy breathing sound was emanating from it!
Hundreds of Primitive people knelt around the coffin, kowtowing and worshipping the presence within it, their rising and falling figures reflecting utmost devotion, as if they were on a pilgrimage.
"I am already dead, so why do you all still live?" At this moment, a voice filled with envy suddenly emerged from the coffin.
Subsequently, a giant figure abruptly stood up from the coffin, unleashing a powerful shockwave that instantly blasted the kneeling Primitive people away!
This burly figure was adorned like a hunter, clad in animal skins, with a hunting knife hung at the waist, resembling a hunter from a Primitive tribe.
A pair of black wings sprouted from his back, spreading like ink in the air, exuding a formidable divine power aura!
"Demon King!"
Everyone instantly recognized this figure!
The huge figure within the coffin was indeed the image of the Demon King; he had indeed become the BOSS guarding the second stage! However, judging from the BOSS’s recitation of lines, it wasn’t the Demon King himself, but his clone!
At this point, the burly clone of the Demon King turned his head to stare directly at Huang Yi and others, raspingly saying, "You shall live in the darkness of death!"
As these words fell, hundreds of Primitive people began to rise from the ground.
They all turned around, staring at Huang Yi and others with their sewn-up eyes, from which streams of black qi permeated, swiftly surging toward Huang Yi and others.
Soon, the black qi filled the entire cave, rendering everyone except Huang Yi blind!
At this moment, the Demon King lightly extended his hand and pointed toward everyone!
It was just a very casual point, entirely lacking serious intent, seemingly just an unconscious little gesture!
But in the next instant, the space in the direction where the finger was pointing suddenly split rapidly, extending to the area where Huang Yi and others stood!
That spatial rift, like an invisible sharp sword, sliced through everyone!
"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!..." Everyone was immediately struck mercilessly by an irresistible force, their health points instantly plummeting!
In merely one move, the luxurious lineup composed of Huang Yi and more than ten super-first-class masters was left with only a sliver of health by the Demon King!
And this, was merely a clone of the Demon King!
