Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1412 - 1342: Emperor Huang Quan

"I never wished to become the entrance to the Heroes’ Prison, but this was the best ending I could have hoped for back then," the Dark Demon Dragon Mo Li said softly, a hint of distant memories surfacing in his gaze. "It was the Eternal Ancient Era, and the Divine King had passed away many years ago. His successor was called the Heavenly Emperor, continuing to rule Heaven. But the Heavenly Emperor’s authority could not match the Divine King of the past, and he couldn’t uphold the glory of Heaven. The Four Supreme Gods left one after another to establish their own domains. The God of Space shattered the barrier between the Divine and Demon Realms, allowing the Gods and the hordes of Demons to interact without Heaven’s supervision. The God of Time also went mad, causing chaos in the timeline, with the past and future blending together. Some people from the past frequently appeared, and some mysterious figures came from the future. Some historical events were reversed in order, as if in an absurd nightmare. In short, the Heaven Realm was in chaos, with divine wars breaking out frequently, Heaven reducing to a mere name, unable to control the order of the Heaven Realm."

The Dark Demon Dragon Mo Li paused for a moment before continuing, "That chaotic time lasted for a long, long time, with the throne of Heaven changing hands several times. By the time of the sixth generation of the Heavenly Emperor, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared in the Heaven Realm. He was called Huang Quan, who would later become the Emperor Huang Quan, feared by all the Heaven Realm! No one knew how he appeared; even the God of Destiny could not see his fate. Some even suspected he was from the future, not belonging to that era. He was an unprecedented genius, with some speculating that he would grow to become the second Divine King. Later, for reasons unknown, the sixth-generation Heavenly Emperor seemed to receive some information and suddenly allied with several demigods to set up the Heavenly Net to capture him. I was also invited by the Heavenly Emperor to join that operation. After a heavy price was paid, Emperor Huang Quan was finally captured and sealed, imprisoned in the Forbidden Heavenly Prison of Heaven. Since then, he suffered the torment of brutal punishment day after day, as the Heavenly Emperor tried to extract his secrets, but to no avail."

"The Forbidden Heavenly Prison?" Huang Yi murmured the name, frowning as he asked, "Is it a place similar to the Heroes’ Prison?"

"Indeed!" the Dark Demon Dragon Mo Li nodded, "The Forbidden Heavenly Prison is far more renowned than the Heroes’ Prison later built by the Death God. It’s been passed down since the era of the Divine King, specifically designed to incarcerate those vile, evil monsters, and no one has ever escaped from there. After Emperor Huang Quan was imprisoned, everyone thought they could sleep easy. But who knew, later on, Emperor Huang Quan actually broke the Forbidden Heavenly Prison and escaped, disappearing ever since! There are rumors that he died in a mysterious world; some say he is lurking in an unnoticeable corner among the Myriads of Heavens and Realms; others claim to have sensed a trace of his presence in the Underworld, but no one knows the exact answer. The entire Heaven Realm was in a state of panic, especially Heaven, for they knew that if Emperor Huang Quan was not dead, he would surely come back for revenge once the future was secured."

"Later, the Heavenly Emperor was constantly tracking his whereabouts and even found some clues, but every assassination attempt failed, as Emperor Huang Quan rose rapidly in unstoppable momentum," the Dark Demon Dragon Mo Li said, drawing in a cold breath, both fearful and alarmed. "After many years of living in constant fear, that day finally came! Emperor Huang Quan returned to the Heaven Realm with newfound strength, unleashing a bloodbath. Heaven was the first to suffer a massacre, with countless temples reduced to ruins, and the Heavenly Emperor’s throne was cast into Hell. Those demigods who once participated in capturing and assassinating him, not a single one escaped his grasp, and they fell one after another. I knew then that I couldn’t escape either, but I didn’t run. I just sat quietly in my temple, awaiting his arrival. I still remember that afternoon. Outside the window was a sunset like blood, it was the twilight of the Gods. I heard the angelic cries from the horizon, I heard the dirge of demons from the abyss. When the last ray of sunset swept into my temple, he came and severed my head, shattering my divinity."

With these words, the Dark Demon Dragon Mo Li looked around at the surrounding Heroes’ Prison and continued, "I thought my soul would descend into the God’s Tomb of the Underworld, to rest like other fallen deities. But then, the Death God suddenly descended, granting me clemency from death, allowing part of my soul to survive. He used a method of resurrection to cast my soul back into my dragon head, refining my dragon head into a portal to a space that later became the Heroes’ Prison. From then on, I lived in this form. However, this is not truly living; I have no freedom and no body. All I possess is this dragon head and this fragmented soul. The Dark Demon Dragon Mo Li died long ago in the river of history. I am merely a trace he left behind."

"Yet even so, your strength is unfathomable!" Huang Yi said sincerely.

The Dark Demon Dragon Mo Li, even before his death, remained a God Sealer, never falling to become a False God. Thus, his remnant soul was a remnant soul of a True God, existing on an entirely different level for the creatures of the Mortal Realm.

Huang Yi suddenly recalled the Spirit Demon. The Spirit Demon’s signature move was the Demon God Remnant Soul behind him. Relying on that Demon God Remnant Soul, the Spirit Demon once became the strongest among the three New Kings. Even later, when the Heavenly Demon advanced to demigod status and became the world’s top expert, his strength didn’t lag far behind.

This Dark Demon Dragon Mo Li before him was also such a divine remnant soul, still retaining the divine power of those godly times.

However, Huang Yi lacked the means of the Spirit Demon to make this divine remnant his own.

It belonged to the Heroes’ Prison, and only when it was summoned, with the enemy within the Heroes’ Prison’s influence can it unleash its terrifying combat power.

Huang Yi stared at the Dark Demon Dragon Mo Li and suddenly asked, "Since your dragon head survived, could you give me a drop of blood?"

"What do you want my blood for?" the Dark Demon Dragon Mo Li asked with amused interest. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Huang Yi eagerly replied, "I have an evolving ability that allows me to use the blood of various creatures to evolve. But all the blood I’ve used to evolve so far comes from creatures of the Mortal Realm. And you are a God Sealer, your blood is divine blood! I’ve never used divine blood to evolve before, and I’d like to try."

"An ability like that? I’ve lived so long and never seen anything like it!" the Dark Demon Dragon Mo Li expressed slight surprise, eventually nodding, "Alright, since that’s the case, I shall give you a drop of divine blood. I am curious to see what you can evolve into!"

With that, he flicked his long sleeve, and a drop of black divine blood suddenly flew out, stopping in front of Huang Yi.
