The farthest cell Huang Yi had entered before was Cell 22, but this ti, he first entered Cell 21.
Cell 21 was a completely new environnt. It was an oak forest, with thick night mist lingering in the air. Several crows cawed mournfully on the bare branches of the oak trees, evoking an unsettling sense of fear.
Huang Yi flapped the Sun-Chasing Dragon’s Wings on his back, soaring into the sky to take a look.
The sky here was overcast with dark clouds hanging low, casting darkness over the land. The ancient oak forest stretched endlessly beyond the horizon.
Near the distant horizon, there was a dieval castle, its spires faintly visible amidst the oak forest.
Huang Yi continuously flapped the Sun-Chasing Dragon’s Wings, using Blink multiple tis, and soon arrived in front of the castle.
This castle had long since fallen into disrepair, with parts of the structure collapsed into rubble, and the remaining buildings covered with moss and vines, exuding an eerie aura.
Huang Yi landed, stepping on the fallen leaves, carefully observing his surroundings as he walked forward.
Soon, he entered the central, largest building within the castle. The interior was spacious and empty, devoid of furniture, with a spiral staircase leading upward.
Huang Yi ascended the spiral staircase. Just after climbing a few steps, sothing hard suddenly cracked under his foot, producing a squeaking friction sound.
He lifted his foot to look, and below the dust on the ground, a faint tallic gleam was reflecting.
He bent down to pick the item up, blowing off the dust on it, revealing its shape.
It was a tal dal in the shape of a cross, with a beautifully crafted leaf on it, with intricate patterns and natural lines, feeling substantial in hand. It should have been a piece of Epic Equipnt.
However, the dal had already lost its power, leaving only an empty fra. Its na was the Oak Leaf Valor dal.
Holding the dal, Huang Yi continued upward.
After a few more steps, he stepped on another item.
This ti, it was also a dal, but with a very different appearance. It was a star-shaped dal engraved with ivy. It too had lost its power, retaining only its na—the Ivy Fearless dal.
Huang Yi was more deliberate, bending his head to search while he walked.
Soon enough, he found two more dals, the Black Rose Faith dal and the Violet Glory dal.
Each dal was intricately made, and if they still had any power, they would have been very potent pieces of equipnt, elevating the player’s strength to unimaginable heights.
But after countless ages, these four powerful dals had beco re decorations.
Finally, Huang Yi reached the top of the spiral staircase and ca to the highest level.
This area was also an empty hall, but at the end, there was a black throne, and a shadowy figure sat upon it.
The figure was clad in a gray-black robe, with a hood hiding the upper portion of the face, leaving only the mouth exposed.
"I can sll the scent of fear." At this mont, the figure suddenly spoke, the sharp voice echoing through the hall.
Huang Yi stepped forward, saying loudly, "I am not afraid. I am the current Prison Warden of Heroes’ Prison. Your sentence has changed, and I can offer you a chance to be released."
The lips under the hood of the figure curled slightly, saying, "You offer a chance to get out? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll cause panic among all beings once I’m out?"
"Such arrogance! I must see what your origins are," Huang Yi swept out his hand, once again drawing out the Book of Heroes, turning to the page corresponding to this criminal, and gently scanned it toward him.
Previously, the Book of Heroes did not contain information on the first 100 criminals, but after Obert refined it, it unlocked the pages for the top 100 criminals. Once the criminal was t and the Book of Heroes scanned them, their information would automatically be inscribed on the pages.
After Huang Yi scanned the criminal with the Book of Heroes, lines of introduction appeared on the page—
[King of Fear] (Mortal God)
In the Eternal Ancient Era, he was the Eighth Great Demon King of the Demon Clan, spreading fear in the Sky Forest World associated with the Grim Reaper Cult, triggering a catastrophe. Pursued by the four Demon Dragon Knights from the Death God’s Temple, he was eventually trapped in the Death Array in the extraneous world—Xuanhuang World. The four Demon Dragon Knights each utilized the Oak Leaf Valor dal, Ivy Fearless dal, Black Rose Faith dal, and Violet Glory dal to seal the powers of the King of Fear, leading to his defeat and subsequent imprisonnt in Heroes’ Prison for life...
Another Eighth Great Demon King!
Huang Yi was slightly startled, casting another appraisal at the shadowy figure on the throne.
Several generations of the Eighth Great Demon King existed within the Demon Clan, the most recent being the Heavenly Demon, who was also the first Heaven-Sent Demon King.
The previous generation Eighth Great Demon King from the Remote Ancient Era was the Crab Emperor, whose Magic Dragon Wings were reversed into Magic Instrunts, but later the Crab Emperor was slain by the God Sealer, the Thunder Empress.
The King of Fear before him originated from the most remote Eternal Ancient Era, likely the earliest Eighth Great Demon King!
The information indicated that he was caught and imprisoned in Heroes’ Prison for spreading fear in the Sky Forest World, known as one of the Top Ten Worlds in the Mortal Universe, renowned and attracting attention. Recently, Russia’s super first-class master, the Giant Bear, ventured to the Sky Forest World to seek out the God Hunter’s treasure.
Considering the world’s prominence, it definitely held significant interest for the Death God’s Temple. That the King of Fear dared to spread fear there explains why he was captured by the temple.
"So, you are the Eighth Great Demon King." Huang Yi looked directly at the shadowy figure on the throne, then shook his head, "However, your title has been stripped by the King of Hell. The current Eighth Great Demon King is a Heaven-Sent Man nad the Heavenly Demon."
"Heaven-Sent Man," the King of Fear repeated the na, his voice laden with an eerie tone. "Back when His Majesty the God King issued the Heaven-Sent Mandate Decree, it ntioned the birth of the Heaven-Sent Man. After such a long ti, the Heaven-Sent Man has finally erged, and the Three Realms are about to undergo another upheaval!"
Huang Yi stepped forward a few steps and continued, "In the Eternal Ancient Era, you sided with the wrong faction by joining the Demon Clan. Now, I’m offering you a chance to choose again. If you agree to beco a Guardian of my Hero Empire, I’ll release you. Henceforth, you will beco the first Demon King to turn good, surely dealing a significant blow to the Demon Clan. In the past, many people would degenerate into the Demon Clan, but now, a Demon King defecting from the Demon Clan would certainly inspire many to follow."
