Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1483 - 1409: The Underworld Opens! Sharp Sword Reveals His True Identity!!
In the dark Death Space, brightness suddenly breaks through, revealing an entirely new world.
Here, the sky is gray. The mountains, rivers, flora, and trees resemble The Second World, but they appear more primitive.
Around, countless dense gray-white souls, wide-eyed in surprise, look around—it is the countless souls of deceased players.
In the previously dark space where nothing could be seen after death, now everything is visible!
"[System Announcement]: [Master of the Sword Tomb·Sword Emperor] has opened the Underworld, accepting the souls of all Heaven-Sent individuals and modifying some Underworld rules, endowing all Heaven-Sent individuals with basic abilities like [Eye of the Underworld], [Ear of the Underworld], [Mouth of the Underworld], and [Underworld Olfaction]. The main living area for Heaven-Sent individuals will change from [The Second World] to [Underworld]. [Sword Emperor] completed the ninth step of the Underworld King Trials, earning the Underworld Artifact — [Underworld King’s Scale]. The Underworld King’s Scale measures souls; the lighter ascend to Heaven, the heavier descend to Hell. Every soul entering the Underworld can be weighed by the Underworld King’s Scale to decide its fate."
The Sharp Sword took action!
At this most desperate moment, the Sharp Sword opened the Underworld, proclaiming to accept the souls of all players worldwide!
Before this, only the select few like Huang Yi, Thunder God, who went through Purgatory and cleansed the Seven Deadly Sins, possessing pure souls, could be granted abilities like [Eye of the Underworld], [Ear of the Underworld], [Mouth of the Underworld], and [Underworld Olfaction]. Others couldn’t survive normally in the Underworld.
But now, all Heaven-Sent individuals have these abilities and can live normally in the Underworld.
The main living area for players suddenly shifted from The Second World to the Underworld!
The Sharp Sword has given all world players a second home!
The Era of the Underworld has finally arrived!
Among the Three Realms, the Mortal Realm is fundamental. Whether it’s The Second World, First World, or Auroyass World, or pure elemental planes like the Ice and Snow Plane, Flame Plane, they all lie within the Mortal Realm. The Mortal Realm houses countless beings but can only accommodate strengths below Divine Enthronement. Once the boundary is surpassed, one must achieve Divine Enthronement and ascend to the Heaven Realm. In death, one must descend to the Underworld.
The Heaven Realm contains the Divine Realm where The Gods reside and the Demon Realm where the hordes of Demons dwell. Gods and demons have created large and small Divine Nations within it, each hosting countless servants. However, these, even gods and demons, upon death, must have their souls descend to the Underworld.
The Underworld is the ultimate destination for all souls, the most mysterious of the Three Realms!
Previously, no one knew where the Underworld truly was until recently when Huang Yi publicly revealed this secret in Purgatory, only then did players know the dark place after death was the legendary Underworld.
But players didn’t place much importance, treating the Underworld as a marginal world background, similar to the extraterritorial, not affecting the main lives of players.
Unexpectedly now, the Sharp Sword has opened the Underworld, making it the new home for players worldwide!
With this, the one to save the world finally appeared!
This person isn’t Thunder God, Dao Feng, these renowned super-first masters, nor the Ice Queen named the "Second Creator", but the most low-key Sharp Sword!
The Sharp Sword wasn’t as exposed as Huang Yi, Thunder God, Dao Feng. His peak of fame was during the Second Annual Festival when he unexpectedly won Best Individual Award.
He never attended each annual festival, and even after winning, remained as secretive as before, rarely showing up. Many people even had no concept of his strength; during this time, other super-first masters performed earth-shattering feats, like Thunder God acquiring the first finished Divine Artifact, Heavenly Demon becoming the first Heaven-Sent Demon King, Spirit Demon becoming the first Epic Hero, God of Slaughter defeating the Queen of Agony, Ice Queen successfully mending the heavens, etc. Compared to these feats, the Sharp Sword’s might seemed dim, many thought he had fallen behind, couldn’t keep up with God of Slaughter et al.!
But now this announcement reveals the terrifying strength of the Sharp Sword!
Not only has he not fallen behind, but he could be the strongest player in The Second World!
Firstly, the announcement directly addresses him as "Master of the Sword Tomb·Sword Emperor"!
This "Master of the Sword Tomb" is a title, yet previously when the Sharp Sword became the Master of the Sword Tomb, no related system announcement appeared. Unlike God of Slaughter becoming the King of the World, Ice Queen becoming the Second Creator, Spirit Demon becoming the World Destroyer, declaring to the world.
This indicates that completing earth-shattering feats in the Underworld won’t trigger system announcements in The Second World, and possibly the Sharp Sword received this title earlier than Huang Yi got the "King of the World" title.
Apart from the "Master of the Sword Tomb" title, how many earth-shattering feats has the Sharp Sword accomplished in the Underworld? How many miraculous encounters?
No one knows!
Just the "Master of the Sword Tomb" is enough to make one look up in awe.
The three most dangerous forbidden lands in the Underworld are Hell, God’s Tomb, and Sword Tomb.
The Sharp Sword’s ability to become the Master of the Sword Tomb indicates he likely fully controls the Sword Tomb.
The closest resemblance among players is Abigail’s "Name Bestowing" of King Abi. But this naming only represents the Eighteenth Level of Hell, Abi Hell, not the entire Hell.
The "Master of the Sword Tomb" title is more like that of the leader of the Seven Archdemons—King of Hell·Yama.
"King of Hell" on its surface means the ruler of the entire Hell, and feels similar to the Master of the Sword Tomb.
Secondly, the system announcement clearly states that the Sharp Sword completed the ninth step of the Underworld King Trials!
The Underworld King is the ruler of the Underworld, governing the entire Underworld!
One of the strongest protectors of the Hero Empire—[Envoy of the Underworld, Yi Mingfeng], was once a deity-level envoy under the Underworld King.
The Sharp Sword undergoing the Underworld King Trials suggests he’s likely to become the new Underworld King, and the trial has reached the ninth step!
If the trial consists of ten steps, then the Sharp Sword is just one step away from becoming the Underworld King!
Lastly, the system announcement mentions a new item—Underworld Artifact.
An unheard-of equipment type; previously, the strongest known was Divine Artifact and Magic Instrument, from the announcement regarding [Underworld King’s Scale], Underworld Artifacts seem of the same tier as Divine Artifacts and Magic Instruments.
Moreover, Underworld Artifacts are more bizarre. At least everyone has witnessed Divine and Magic Instruments, but there’s no public data on Underworld Artifacts, not even knowing their appearance.
This announcement merely reveals the tip of the iceberg of the Sharp Sword’s strength!
How terrifying is his true power?
Additionally, the Sharp Sword holds another well-known identity; he is the Sword Emperor’s apprentice, wielding the Sword Emperor’s Divine Artifact [Sword Emperor’s Blade]. This overt identity alone is enough to intimidate everyone!
For the moment, the invincible image just established by Spirit Demon in the minds of the people is greatly shaken!
The Sharp Sword’s strength seems no less than Spirit Demon. Which of the two is superior?
Even God of Slaughter in his prime wouldn’t dare claim superiority over these two.
The landscape among players seems poised to return to an era of vying heroes.
——
There was a typo in the previous Chapter, what King of Hell bestowed upon Spirit Demon was not [Bloodstained Elegance] but [Blade of Agony]
