Suddenly, the thorns on the Crown of Thorns pierced into his scalp, bringing intense pain.
At the sa ti, it felt like a mystical power had erged within him. But when he tried to sense it closely, he found nothing, as if it was just an illusion.
Then, Huang Yi returned to his Holy Land, found a secluded place, summoned Heroes’ Prison, and entered Cell 23.
Wearing the Crown of Thorns, he flew again above the surface of the river where the chains were located, staring at the rushing river water below. He shouted loudly, "You are imprisoned here, you will never be free, only struggle in vain. But if you agree to beco my Guardian, I can find a way to unlock your chains, let you leave here, and see the sunlight outside again."
After his words fell, the river remained silent, and the two thick chains dangling into the river showed no signs of movent.
But after a while, the chains began to slowly move, and through the murky river water, a giant shadow could be vaguely seen slowly rising from the bottom of the river.
"Splash!" Finally, the gigantic head of the Flood Dragon erged slowly from the surface of the water, its huge eyes gazing at Huang Yi in the sky with a curious expression.
This ti, the Flood Dragon did not show hostility towards Huang Yi like it did before, but appeared as curious and playful as a child peeking out from the house to see a stranger outside.
Huang Yi felt slightly relieved, guessing that perhaps the Crown of Thorns on his head had played a role. He couldn’t help but reach out and intentionally adjust the Crown of Thorns on his head.
At that mont, the Flood Dragon really responded even more!
Its eyelids imdiately drooped down, showing a docile expression in its eyes, and a dragon tail swayed side to side like a dog’s wagging tail, causing the water on the river’s surface to ripple in all directions.
Huang Yi imdiately took out a flag and waved it at the Flood Dragon below, saying tentatively, "If you drop a drop of blood into this flag, the contract process will be completed. If you can speak, you can also complete the contract ceremony through words."
Upon hearing his words, the Flood Dragon obediently opened its mouth, dropped a drop of blood which flew towards the flag Huang Yi held.
Finally, the drop of blood rged into the flag and automatically ford a na—
Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua
As Heavenly Dao speculated, the Flood Dragon was indeed the dragon tad by the Yellow Emperor during the Eternal Ancient Era, a hybrid descendant of the Night Clan and the Dragon Clan.
This also proved that the Crown of Thorns on Huang Yi’s head was indeed the relic of the Yellow Emperor—the Crown of Thorns!
Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua, sensed the aura of the Crown of Thorns and thus submitted to Huang Yi, becoming the Guardian of the Hero Empire.
Huang Yi lowered all his defenses, fell from the sky, landing on top of the Flood Dragon’s head, like a tiny mosquito landing on the head of a mighty lion.
"Rise up, let see how the chains are binding you," Huang Yi said with a smile.
The massive Flood Dragon obediently nodded its big head, wagging its tail, bringing its whole enormous body above the river surface.
Previously, the Flood Dragon had revealed only a small part of its body, like an iceberg, with most of it subrged below the water, unseen. Now, it finally began to fully reveal its entire body!
Soon, a gigantic body erged completely from the river surface, like a mountain range stretching to the horizon of the great river, its length unknown, magnificent and spectacular.
This Flood Dragon had two pairs of claws, front and back, and the two thick chains bound the two front claws. The chains pierced through its claws, penetrating through the bones and flesh, making them impossible to untangle.
Huang Yi raised his head and looked at the end of the chain extending into the mountain.
Since the chains couldn’t be unlocked, the only option was to take these two chains along with it, letting the Flood Dragon carry them as it left.
Moreover, these chains were forged from God Demon Blood Steel, inherently a treasure that hadn’t lost its power, perfectly suitable for the Flood Dragon to use as a weapon.
Huang Yi imdiately flew to the cliffside on the left, where the chains were piercing the mountain, pondering how to draw the chain out of the mountain.
Just then, he suddenly noticed at the point where the chain pierced the mountain, a yellow talisman paper was affixed, with a large character written on it—"Suppress"
He peeled off the corner of the talisman paper, intending to remove it, but suddenly heard a system prompt—
"[System Prompt]: Since you are wearing the [Crown of Thorns], you can break the Seal Talisman Paper placed by the Yellow Emperor. After peeling off half of the talisman paper, the first seal of [Hengjiang Lock] will be lifted, giving [Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua] regained freedom, but the [Hengjiang Lock] will still be pierced in [Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua]’s flesh and blood. Since [Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua] has reached Mortal God level, [Hengjiang Lock] locked its strength, rendering him unable to achieve Divine Enthronent. When your strength reaches Void God Level, you can completely remove the talisman paper, unlocking the second seal of [Hengjiang Lock], extracting [Hengjiang Lock] from its flesh. Then, it will imdiately achieve Divine Enthronent and go to the Heaven Realm."
Hengjiang Lock!
Huang Yi finally learned the nas of these two chains. As expected, they were treasures that could seal the power within a Mortal God, preventing it from achieving Divine Enthronent, equivalent to the function of a Demon-Sealing Space.
This system prompt also indicated that Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua, was still an unblemished Mortal God and had not fallen to the Void God Level like the other Mortal Gods released from Heroes’ Prison before.
He was the most powerful guardian in the Hero Empire to date. Once the Hengjiang Lock was completely unsealed, he would instantly achieve Divine Enthronent!
Huang Yi’s current strength had not yet reached the Void God Level, and he could not unlock the second seal of the Hengjiang Lock. But he only needed to unseal the first level to set Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua free. His internal power would still be suppressed by the Hengjiang Lock, preventing Divine Enthronent.
Huang Yi reached out and carefully peeled off half of the seal talisman paper, then quickly withdrew his hand!
He put on the Crown of Thorns, faintly akin to the heir of the Yellow Emperor, so the seal paper did not resist him. If soone else were to co, it would have been difficult to peel off this seal paper.
It was estimated that the person who trapped this Flood Dragon in the Heroes’ Prison found the process of removing this seal paper too troubleso, and hence chose to extract the entire Evil River from The Second World and imprison it in Heroes’ Prison.
"[System Prompt]: You have unlocked the first seal of [Hengjiang Lock]."
After a system prompt sounded, the two heavy chains began to slowly detach from the mountain ranges on both sides of the river.
In an instant, the ground shook, countless boulders tumbled down from the mountainsides on both sides, crashing into the river and creating towering waves.
After a while, these two chains finally completely detached from the mountain and fell powerlessly into the river water.
"Roar!" Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua roared with excitent, soared into the air from the river, shook his massive dragon head, and fully stretched his huge body, wildly dancing in the sky.
In an instant, the massive shadow he cast covered the river below, as he rolled among the heavy dark clouds in the sky, the vast weather stirred into disarray, and occasionally a glimpse of his scales would appear, like a Divine Dragon commanding the wind and rain.
The thick chains too, were swung with flair, like two long whips, sweeping across and shearing mountains in half with a single swipe.
This was the largest dragon Huang Yi had ever seen, and it was an Eastern dragon, without wings, just a long body like a massive mountain range spanning the sky, commanding the elents, majestic and awe-inspiring.
"Let’s go! Let’s get out and see the world outside." Huang Yi waved at Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua.
Next, Huang Yi led Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua out of the Heroes’ Prison and into the exterior of The Second World.
When Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua appeared outside, his massive body imdiately overshadowed the sky, casting a huge shadow over the entire Holy Land.
In the Holy Land, countless mbers of the English Dragon Clan looked up in horror, imdiately seeing an imnse Flood Dragon wildly soaring through the sky. The vast and mighty aura weighed down on the earth, causing it to tremble slightly, as if shivering.
So NPCs, unable to contain the fear in their hearts, knelt down to worship.
Across the Central Continent, in the sacred places of various races, the leaders of each race felt a faint pressure coming from the direction of the English Dragon Clan’s Holy Land.
When they looked up towards that direction, they could faintly see a terrifying black shadow swirling in the sky, intimidating those who dared to gaze upon it.
In the Oskan Royal Academy, the headmaster suddenly raised his head, gazed in terror at the direction of the English Dragon Clan’s Holy Land, and muttered to himself, "God of Slaughter, what has been released?! How can the montum be so terrifying!"
This commotion also caught the attention of the other Guardians of the Hero Empire. One by one, Demigods and even Void Gods rushed to the Holy Land as quickly as possible, gazing from afar at the wildly dancing body of the Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua in the sky, each exclaiming in shock.
"This... this power is so imnse! Stronger than any Void God I’ve seen in my lifeti!"
"His power can at least suppress four or five Void Gods!"
"Such an extraordinarily gifted creature, with a superhuman constitution, can absorb more Divine Power than a typical Void God. It is estimated that the weakest of the Demon Kings like the Queen of Agony or the Dark King have such strength, and their bodies contain Divine Power comparable to this Flood Dragon."
