Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1414 - 1344: Demon Conversion Pool! Metamorphosis of the Spirit Demon
"No, killing you just like that would be too much of a waste." Huang Yi shook his head, "You’re a trump card in my hand, I won’t reveal you so easily. Only when there’s no other choice will I consider killing you."
"Then you’d better be careful! The Heavenly Demon and the Spirit Demon have been heavily cultivated by us, their strength will grow to unimaginable levels, becoming the two strongest Heaven-Sent Men! Especially the Spirit Demon, once he ascends to a demigod and fuses with that Demon God Remnant Soul, you will only be able to look up to him. By then, you will be crushed by them mercilessly!" The Queen of Agony said gleefully, as if she could already see that day.
"To be honest, I’ve already killed both of them!" Huang Yi said as he fanned the Sun-Chasing Dragon’s Wings behind him, "The Magic Dragon Wings of the Heavenly Demon have also been stripped away and are now used by me."
The Queen of Agony was slightly stunned, only now noticing that pair of Sun-Chasing Dragon’s Wings behind Huang Yi!
That pair of wings indeed possessed the aura of the Magic Dragon Wings.
"Impossible! The Magic Dragon Wings were clearly refined by the Heavenly Demon, how could you have obtained them! Even if he were dead, the Magic Dragon Wings would still be on his body, no one could strip them away, you must be lying to me! This isn’t real!" The Queen of Agony stared with bulging eyes, refusing to believe it all.
"Whether you believe it or not is no longer important!" Huang Yi said, as his hand made a gesture of grasping in the air, uttering a spell: "Soul Piercer!"
As soon as he spoke, in the torture chamber on the other side of Heroes’ Prison, among the diverse assortment of instruments hanging on the wall, a spike-shaped tool suddenly vibrated intensely!
Subsequently, it flew up on its own, swiftly traversing through corridors, finally dashing into cell 39, and gently landing in Huang Yi’s hand.
Back then, when Huang Yi first entered Heroes’ Prison, he appeared in the torture chamber. But only until now, when he had fully controlled Heroes’ Prison, could he use the instruments inside to execute punishments on criminals.
These instruments had various effects, corresponding to different penalties. The instrument in Huang Yi’s hand was called [Soul Piercer], and once it pierced into a criminal’s body, it could subdue the soul, causing the criminal to faint and not wake up.
Huang Yi held [Soul Piercer] and directly stabbed it into the Queen of Agony!
"Puh~" The Soul Piercer deeply embedded into the Queen of Agony’s flesh, and the force of the punishment within spread, piercing her soul.
"Ah~" A shrill scream echoed!
For the first time in history, the Queen of Agony tasted true pain.
...
In the microcosm of The Seven Archdemons.
The Heavenly Demon knelt tremblingly before the embodiment of the King of Hell, without those Magic Dragon Wings on his back, akin to a rooster with its most beautiful feathers plucked away, utterly desolate.
Beside him, the Spirit Demon, Miyamoto Musashi, T.N.T, Unbeaten, and Tarna, were all kneeling in a row, heads bowed deeply, even breathing cautiously.
The King of Hell overlooked them condescendingly, a chilling aura emanated from within the black hole under his hood.
Though his expression was unseen, everyone felt a coldness that penetrated their hearts.
"The strength I granted you is enough to render all Heaven-Sent Men’s adventures dull." The King of Hell said slowly, his tone icy, "Your assemblage should be able to sweep through any Heaven-Sent Man’s team, yet you still failed! In Purgatory, with a sure-win advantage, you were defeated! Heavenly Demon, you failed twice consecutively; just before you set out to intercept the Incarnation of the God of Slaughter, I specially helped you refine that Greed, yet upon returning, you lost the Magic Dragon Wings; for an Eighth Great Demon King like you, I am utterly disappointed!"
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Demon trembled, his head drooping lower.
His three greatest adventures so far were the identity of the Eighth Great Demon King, the Magic Dragon Wings, and that Greed. Now he had lost the Magic Dragon Wings among them; if not for the King of Hell’s intervention in refining the Greed previously, the consequences would have been worse, and even the Greed would have burst out, falling into Huang Yi’s hands.
The King of Hell paused, seemingly suppressing his inner fury, and continued: "Over this period, our Demon Clan has suffered consecutive setbacks: first, failing to invade The Second World; then, the unexpected disappearance of the Queen of Agony; following that, getting bogged down on the battlefield in the First World; now, you, the Heaven-Sent Demonic Race in whom we’ve placed great hope, have repeatedly failed, our Demon Clan has utterly lost face! In contrast, in The Second World, led by the God of Slaughter, a group of Heaven-Sent Men has been continuously growing; the Thunder God, Pharaoh, Pope already possess finished Divine Artifacts, the Hero Empire of the God of Slaughter has dozens of Guardians of the Divine Domain, and currently, he is in the Heaven Realm, plotting who knows what. Our Demon Clan is in great peril! If this Refinement of The Second World fails once again, the situation will reverse; it will no longer be us invading The Second World, but The Second World invading us. By then, you’ll be the first batch of the Demon Clan to suffer the bitter fruits." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
With that said, the King of Hell shook his head and said: "Next, I have more pressing matters to attend to, I’ve no time to deal with you anymore, you’re on your own!"
With those words, the King of Hell waved his black robe, and his figure suddenly vanished into thin air, as if he had never appeared.
After quite a while, only then did the Heavenly Demon and the others cautiously lift their heads, staring blankly at the empty space ahead, feeling a desolate chill.
They were abandoned!
The King of Hell was utterly disappointed in them and would no longer cultivate them as before!
Miyamoto Musashi and T.N.T exchanged a look, a faintly discernible smile playing at the corners of their mouths, not very disappointed.
At this moment, the Spirit Demon suddenly stood up, extended his hand toward the Heavenly Demon, and said: "Give me the Heavenly Pearl you got in Purgatory before, I’m going to the Demon Conversion Pool right away to ascend to the Divine Domain, refine my Demon God Remnant Soul. I want to seek revenge on the God of Slaughter!"
"The God of Slaughter has far surpassed his previous strength!" The Heavenly Demon sighed, his palm flicking as he took out his Heavenly Pearl and handed it to the Spirit Demon.
"Really? Then when I exact my revenge, it will feel even more rewarding!" The Spirit Demon sneered, reaching out to take the few Heavenly Pearls, his body flickering and vanishing into the air.
...
The Demon Conversion Pool, located within the Demon Palace of the King of Hell, is a crucial place for the Demon Clan.
This is a giant pool, made of a dark red tissue, densely covered with numerous large and small red lumps, resembling an overgrowth.
The pool is filled with boiling Demonic Blood, bubbling with black bubbles that pop with a "puff" sound, emitting endless Demonic Qi.
The Demon Conversion Pool is where The Seven Archdemons cultivate their direct descendants. Every so often, The Seven Archdemons will drop their blood into this Demon Conversion Pool.
Whichever Archdemon drops their blood, after some time, the lumps in the pool will form into a body, eventually becoming a direct descendant of that Archdemon, inheriting the Archdemon’s bloodline.
Those born from the Demon Conversion Pool are all conferred the title of "Duke." They are the highest-ranking individuals in the Demon Clan, aside from The Seven Archdemons, and their strength surpasses other demons of the same Level.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared next to the Demon Conversion Pool.
He was wearing a black cloak, with the tall, sinister shadow of a Demon God looming behind him. He was the Tenth Great Demon King—the Spirit Demon.
The Spirit Demon held the few Heavenly Pearls, looking at the boiling Demon Conversion Pool below, slightly frowning.
Even though he was part of the Demon Clan, he found the Demon Conversion Pool too disgusting, especially the large and small lumps, like the remains discarded after surgery in a hospital.
"Hmm?" At this moment, the Spirit Demon turned his head to focus on a nearby area.
In that area, some of the lumps had already shaped into the form of a body, with the heart section rhythmically beating. The face was still blurry, and the skin had not formed, wrapped in a membranous substance, resembling a skinned creature.
It was a "Duke" about to take shape, and from its aura, it seemed to be a descendant of the King of the Fallen.
Retrieving his gaze, the Spirit Demon’s expression steadied, and he leaped into the boiling Demon Conversion Pool.
"Thud~" The boiling Demonic Blood splashed into high waves!
The Spirit Demon seemed to fall into a bottomless Nightmare, submerged by endless Demonic Blood, the stench crazily invading his senses, accompanied by a boundless and mighty force.
Using this vast power, the Spirit Demon immediately began to absorb the Heavenly Pearls in his hand!
The power contained within the Heavenly Pearls was rapidly absorbed into his body, flooding into his limbs and bones, pushing him to great strides on the Road to Ascension.
With the power of the Demon Conversion Pool, the Refinement process was greatly accelerated. What usually required a lengthy time to refine the Heavenly Pearls was now completed in a short period!
Quickly, a dazzling blood-red light rose from the Spirit Demon’s body, advancing him by one Level on the Road to Ascension!
Not long after, the second Heavenly Pearl was also absorbed, and a blood-red light rose from his body once again.
One after another, the Heavenly Pearls were refined by him, each time releasing a red glow.
Finally, after an intense blood-red light rose, the Spirit Demon rose to Level 299, reaching the final step on the Road to Ascension, about to advance to the 300th Level of the Divine Domain!
"Now is the time!" The Spirit Demon smiled slightly, looking back at the Demon God Remnant Soul lingering behind him.
The Demon God Remnant Soul originally belonged to a Demon God in the Demon Realm named the Spirit God. It fell during a god-demon war, but the remnant soul remained, until countless years later, it was acquired by the Spirit Demon.
Previously, the Spirit Demon could only manipulate it, unable to truly refine and absorb it into his body, making it a part of himself.
Huang Yiguang took a long time to absorb a single drop of Divine Blood, indicating how difficult it would be to absorb a Demon God Remnant Soul, an almost impossible task.
But in the Demon Conversion Pool, it was possible!
