Chapter 1799: Chapter 1717: Heroes’ Prison No. 2 Cell

"Cell 2... You can actually open a cell this far up?" Qin Shiyu exclaimed softly.

"I don’t know either, but my current strength is roughly at the peak of the Main Gods, so I should be able to open it! The Styx Queen is imprisoned in Cell 3, and her strength is similar to the Death God’s. The figure in Cell 2 should be someone of that kind as well. I want to see who it is."

Having said that, Huang Yi immediately uttered the summoning spell, "Feared by Pantheons, Heroes’ Prison!"

In an instant, the dragon head of the Dark Demon Dragon Molei appeared and automatically shrank to a size that could fit inside the room, opening its dark dragon mouth.

"Molei, help me get the key to Cell 2," Huang Yi said to the dragon head and then strode inside, disappearing from Qin Shiyu and Xiao Chunzi’s sight.

Upon entering Heroes’ Prison, the key to Cell 2 floated through the air. Huang Yi reached out and grabbed it, then headed to the deepest part of Heroes’ Prison.

Arriving at the entrance of Cell 2, Huang Yi paused and turned to look further inside.

There was only one cell left—Cell 1.

The cell door was tightly locked, and the contents inside were unknown.

The ultimate secret of Heroes’ Prison lay there, but at least the level of a Supreme God was needed to open it.

Huang Yi looked away, inserted the key into Cell 2’s lock, and twisted forcefully, then extended both palms to push the cell door with all his might.

The power akin to the peak of the Main Gods gushed forth, acting on the cell door, causing the formation to glow with increasingly frantic red light.

After a while, the red light turned steady, and the door slowly opened, revealing a hazy mist.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Yi strode inside.

Crossing through the mist, an awe-inspiring scene quickly unfolded before him—

Majestic and luxurious palaces filled the entire view, shining brilliantly. Various gardens, pavilions, pools, fountains, altars, and statues were scattered everywhere, exuding a solemn and sacred atmosphere, with billions of palace maidens and angels busily moving around.

"Heaven!" Huang Yi immediately recognized it.

This was none other than Heaven from the past. He had been to Heaven’s Ruins before, and from the scenery here, he could vaguely see how those remnants were originally.

In this Heaven, the most striking feature was a massive palace floating in mid-air, surrounded by all other palaces like stars encircling the moon.

Countless guards clad in golden armor stood at the front of that palace, each glowing with divine light, all experts at the Divine Domain level.

Huang Yi flew straight over and entered that grand palace.

Inside the palace, it was resplendent, surrounded by clouds. Two huge golden dragons wound through the clouds, appearing and disappearing, occasionally showing a scale or a claw, majestic and sacred.

"Click-clack-click!" Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and a guard stumbled into the hall.

He looked tense, his body trembling incessantly, and he knelt down before the clouds, panicking, "Master Heavenly Master! Something major has happened! Quickly report to His Majesty the Emperor!"

The cloud in the hall suddenly dispersed, revealing two imposing golden dragons. They meekly held a giant chair in their mouths, lowering their dragon heads obediently.

On that giant chair sat a dignified man, his complexion like jade, eyes bright and vivid as if they were two blazing suns, hands resting on the armrests as if he held the entire universe, emitting an aura that awed all heavens.

"His Majesty the Emperor is in seclusion; unless calamity strikes, no one is allowed to disturb. Report directly to me if there’s anything," the Heavenly Master looked down at the guard on the ground, speaking with calm confidence, as though he controlled all matters of the heavens.

The guard immediately lowered his head, speaking in a trembling voice, "The Forbidden Heavenly Prison has been breached!"

Forbidden Heavenly Prison!

Upon hearing this name, Huang Yi was taken aback.

Forbidden Heavenly Prison was even more renowned than Heroes’ Prison, constructed by order of the Divine King, with sealing formations personally set by the Divine King, specifically to contain criminals with formidable power. If any criminal escaped from within, it would incite storms of blood and chaos, leaving living beings in torment.

"What?!" The Heavenly Master abruptly stood up, staring intensely at the guard, the demeanor of calm authority gone, swallowing hard before nervously asking, "How many criminals escaped?"

"One."

"What about the other criminals?"

"All were killed by him!"

The Heavenly Master’s body trembled, a flicker of fear passed through his eyes, but he quickly suppressed the inner turmoil, waved his hand, and said, "I know who it is. You, retreat quickly!"

The guard hurriedly exited, leaving only the Heavenly Master in the hall.

The Heavenly Master took a deep breath, stepped through the void, walking step by step to the deepest end of the hall.

At the hall’s depth hung a vast curtain that reached endlessly upwards, as if covering another world.

The Heavenly Master lowered his head deeply before the curtain, respectfully saying, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have a matter to report!"

"Speak." From behind the curtain came a voice, ethereal and elusive, as if from another world.

The Heavenly Master closed his eyes, speaking in a trembling voice, "He has emerged."

Then, behind the curtain, a profound silence ensued, perfectly quiet, no sound echoing again.

Huang Yi distinctly felt a tense atmosphere.

The person the Heavenly Master spoke of was precisely Emperor Huang Quan!

Back when he went to Cell 14 to release Meng Xi, he saw a previous segment of the plot, where Ancestor of Dreams demanded Meng Xi undergo divine enthronement, head to the Heaven Realm, and find ways to aid Emperor Huang Quan in escaping the Forbidden Heavenly Prison.

And now, this scene seemed to be the day Emperor Huang Quan escaped the Forbidden Heavenly Prison.

At this moment, there was still no sound from behind the curtain. Huang Yi couldn’t resist flying over and proactively lifted the massive curtain.

In an instant, he saw a vast void, with a giant throne standing upright, and a man wearing a crown, half-reclining on the throne, his body stained with blood, looking weak.

Yet despite this, he exuded overwhelming imperial majesty, compelling one to kneel in worship.

"Death God, you’ve finally come," the man gazed at Huang Yi and said calmly.

Huang Yi suddenly understood; from now on, it wasn’t an illusion but a real scene.

This man reclining on the throne was the criminal in Cell 2.

Huang Yi nodded and said, "I am the God of Slaughter, a reincarnator of the Death God. Now, the Dead Star is under my command, and Heroes’ Prison is under my authority. Your past grievances with the Death God are irrelevant to me."

"Reincarnator?" the man squinted his eyes slightly, then after a long time, resumed speaking, "Are you the Heaven-Sent Man?"

"Indeed!" Huang Yi nodded, scrutinizing the man closely, "Are you the Emperor?"

"I once was," the man replied, wistfully.
