Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1457 - 1385: Crimson Sea Demon King

"That narrows down the possibilities a lot!" the Ice Queen speculated, "First, we can rule out the descendants of the Sagittarius Constellation. The Star Race under Sagittarius has already been wiped out, with no clan members left. The Dragon Clan, Dream Tribe, and War Clan have established diplomatic alliances with our Second World, so it’s likely not them either. That leaves the Insect Race, Moon Clan, Demon Race, Kador, Clan of Light, and Mysterious Race."

"The Clan of Light can be ruled out as well," Huang Yi added. Having evolved using the Dark King’s blood, he now had the Clan of Light’s blood lineage, allowing him to perceive other Clan of Light members, and the golden light just now didn’t have any presence of the Clan of Light.

"Since it has arrived in our Second World, it definitely won’t give up easily. It will likely appear again soon, so we must be extra cautious," the Ice Queen said, looking towards the direction where the golden light had disappeared, her face heavy with concern.

...

As the time to set sail approached, Huang Yi returned to the ancient Godship of Thunder God.

The members of the Expedition Group were already all assembled; nearly all of the world’s top-level experts had gathered here, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Accompanying them were well-known figures from forums such as Poet, Wen Tao, and Heartless Reminiscence, as well as journalists from various media outlets, who would be covering the entire expedition.

At this moment, Thunder God stood at the bow, surveying the crowd, and proudly proclaimed, "The time has come! We set off!"

"Boom~" The ancient Godship let out a deep, resonant roar, like an awakening ancient giant beast, and began to leave the port, accelerating towards the southern hemisphere’s ocean.

Ten minutes later, the sea surrounded them on all sides, with no islands or ships in sight. If low-level players encountered an accident here, they might drift for years without encountering any passing ships.

The ancient Godship began sailing at full speed, moving so fast across the sea that it seemed to fly. Giant waves were shattered against the bow of the ship, and some unwitting sea giants that tried to cause trouble were torn apart by the barrier of the ancient Godship before they could even approach.

Along the journey, the ancient Godship braved numerous storms, whirlpools, sea beast territories, death zones, and various other dangers, yet it passed through without incident.

At this point, the ancient Godship entered a strange Blood Sea, where the water resembled blood, emitting a strong smell of blood. The sky was filled with blood-red clouds, flickering with blood-colored thunder and lightning from time to time.

"Who dares to trespass into our Scarlet Sea Monster’s territory! Prepare to die!" a voice roared from a distance as two harpoon-wielding merfolk charged aggressively towards the ancient Godship, both possessing Primary Heaven Domain strength.

On the deck of the ancient Godship, a master mage casually waved his magic wand, releasing two ice arrows, freezing the two merfolk on the sea surface.

With a splintering sound, the two merfolk shattered into ice shards, dying instantly. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

If we had arrived here a year ago, just these two obstructive merfolk would have been enough to stop us. But now, our strength fears no danger along the way.

"How dare you kill the servants of the Crimson Sea Demon King!" At this moment, an old crone in a blood-colored robe, leaning on a staff, rose from the Blood Sea and blocked the front of the ancient Godship.

The presence of ascension on the old crone was quite strong, likely possessing six or seven steps to heaven, surpassing many race leaders on the Central Continent.

If it were a year ago, when players were generally weaker, she certainly could have roamed freely.

However, now, this level of strength is simply not enough in front of the many masters aboard the ancient Godship!

Giant Bear shook his hand, pulled out his Divine Artifact, the God Hunter Whip, and swung it at the old crone.

The God Hunter Whip writhed like a long snake in the air and quickly wrapped around the distant old crone.

With Giant Bear’s arm retraction, the God Hunter Whip swiftly pulled the old crone onto the deck of the Godship, landing her in front of the assembled experts.

At this moment, the old crone finally realized the power of the crowd, collapsing onto the deck in a trembling heap, looking up at the gathered experts, unable to utter a word.

"Did you just say you are the Crimson Sea Demon King?" Giant Bear asked slowly, playing with the God Hunter Whip.

"No, I wouldn’t dare! Please spare me, my lords!" the old crone stuttered, her hair disheveled, devoid of any aura of an Ascension Stronghold.

Giant Bear glanced at her and continued, "I once read in an ancient record that Bloodhoof the Ascendant established a Scarlet Sea Monster Legion, boasting over a hundred demigods, and the legion leader was a Void God-level powerhouse known as [Crimson Sea Demon, King Nitrel]. However, after the fall of Bloodhoof the Ascendant, [Crimson Sea Demon, King Nitrel] led the Scarlet Sea Monster Legion into the vast deep sea, vanishing without a trace. Could it be that you are the current Crimson Sea Demon King?"

The old woman’s face changed slightly, but she quickly nodded and said in a panic, "Yes! Yes! I am the Crimson Sea Demon King of this generation! But when it was passed down to my generation, only some Holy Domain and Heavenly Domain remained, even as the Crimson Sea Demon King, I only have the power of Six Steps to Heaven, posing no threat to you, my lords!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became interested. They didn’t expect this old woman they ran into by chance to have any connection to Bloodhoof the Ascendant, which might prove useful to their investigation this time.

Actually, it wasn’t that coincidental. Bloodhoof the Ascendant was one of the Ten Great Deity Sealers and had a profound impact on The Second World’s history. Most of the people under him were important historical figures, covering almost the entire subsequent history of The Second World. Therefore, current powerful individuals, upon tracing their lineage, can easily connect with the Ten Great Deity Sealers.

At this moment, Huang Yi stepped forward through the crowd and came before the old woman, asking, "Tell us the history of your Scarlet Sea Monster Legion!"

The old woman looked up at Huang Yi, seeing him wearing the Crown of Thorns and a pair of mysterious wings on his back, exuding an extraordinary bearing. The people around him all seemed to show him respect, so she guessed he must be the leader of this group of experts.

She quickly smiled flatteringly, took out a book with a blood-red shark skin cover, and offered it to Huang Yi with both hands, saying, "This is the historical record passed down by generations of Crimson Sea Demon Kings, documenting the entire history of the Scarlet Sea Monster Legion. Please, my lord, feel free to read it!"

Huang Yi took the book, opened the shark skin cover, and the ancient history unfolded before him.

The front part of the book mainly introduced the formation process of the Scarlet Sea Monster Legion, its ceremonies, organizational structure, etc.

Huang Yi flipped through the pages and suddenly stopped at a key passage—

After the mysterious fall of Bloodhoof the Ascendant during the Divine Enthronement, King Nitrel of the Crimson Sea Demon led the Scarlet Sea Monster Legion to settle in Bloodfury Trench. Later, he led a group of demigod subordinates out of The Second World, claiming to fulfill a wish of Lord Bloodhoof the Ascendant in The First World. But three months later, only one demigod returned, saying that King Nitrel offended a significant figure in the Death God’s Temple in The First World and was captured...

Offended a significant figure in the Death God’s Temple and was captured!

Upon seeing this sentence, Huang Yi immediately thought of Heroes’ Prison!

Those captured by the Death God’s Temple are most likely imprisoned in Heroes’ Prison.

Could this Crimson Sea Demon King Nitrel still be in Heroes’ Prison?

He was at the Void God Level and was captured only in the Ancient Times, not too long ago, so he should still be alive.

Huang Yi had already released all possible criminals from the first hundred cells except for those in the top-ranked cells he couldn’t access. Only a few refused to sign contracts with him remained.

He vaguely remembered that in the cells numbered in the 20 to 40 range, several criminals hadn’t signed contracts with him, and this range often contained those with Void God level power. If Nitrel was still there, he should be one of those criminals.

Huang Yi immediately closed the book and stared at the old woman still kneeling on the ground, saying, "Give me the token of the Crimson Sea Demon King! Whether it’s a seal, a jade seal, a scepter, anything that represents the identity of the Crimson Sea Demon King or is of significant importance to the Scarlet Sea Monster Legion, give them all to me."

The old woman thought for a moment and finally took out a scroll, respectfully presenting it to Huang Yi, saying, "This is the appointment given by Bloodhoof the Ascendant to King Nitrel of the Crimson Sea Demon from the Ancient Times. It’s the oldest and most precious item of our Scarlet Sea Monster Legion."

Huang Yi accepted the scroll, feeling its strange texture, somewhat like snake skin, with a layer of fine scales covering it.

He opened the scroll and saw a few lines of text in the common language of the world, apparently handwritten by a significant figure, exuding a magnificent aura despite the passage of several eras, with each character shining brightly.

The general content of the text was the appointment of King Nitrel of the Crimson Sea Demon as the leader of the Scarlet Sea Monster Legion to carry out some important private matters for Bloodhoof the Ascendant.

Huang Yi put away the scroll, looked around at everyone, and said, "Wait here; I’m heading to Heroes’ Prison."

After speaking, he took out the Book of Heroes and recited the spell from the title page, "Feared by Pantheons, Heroes’ Prison!" summoning the dragon head entrance and striding in.

Guided by memory, Huang Yi visited the Void God criminals who hadn’t made agreements with him one by one, eliminating them as he went.

After half an hour, he arrived at Cell No. 38. Inside was a man in a blood-red robe. He had a fishtail but with snake scales on his skin, appearing to be a hybrid offspring of a fish race and a snake race.

Based on his appearance, this man seemed the most like the Crimson Sea Demon King among the criminals Huang Yi had encountered.
