In less than an hour, a solemn system announcent echoed between heaven and earth—
"[System Announcent]: [King of the World·God of Killing] has gathered ten billion Power of Faith, eting the condition for bestowing spirit, thus bestowed with [Guard] spirit, advancing to Epic Hero. Reward: 1000 Public Prestige points, World Honor Value 1."
Finally, after the Spirit Demon, the second Heaven Sent Epic Hero was born!
Instantly, a dazzling golden light radiated from Huang Yi’s body, his aura climbing steadily. The cloak on him fluttered freely, unmatched in grace, space trembling, air currents swirling, becoming the absolute center of heaven and earth, like a tiless giant erging from the river of history.
The surrounding people collectively felt an enormous pressure, a strong oppressive force belonging to an Epic Hero. If soone’s strength was slightly weaker, they might be directly crushed by this pressure without Huang Yi needing to act personally.
After becoming an Epic Hero, his strength surged again; it was a comprehensive upgrade, with all attributes enhanced by 30% to 50%, and so even doubled.
Moreover, he added so latent abilities, such as NPCs becoming more respectful upon eting him, easier triggering of adventures in so relics, gaining certain privileges in so historical quests, etc.
Epic Heroes can fight across levels. If a Celestial Realm expert becos an Epic Hero, they can battle a Demigod.
Huang Yi could already battle a Void God; now, as an Epic Hero, he can travel to so Small Worlds to battle those Mortal Gods in their true form.
Like Xue Huan, a newly promoted Mortal God, Huang Yi can now engage in direct combat, while against the Six Great Demon Kings, those seasoned Mortal Gods with accumulated strength over the years, he can at least resist for a while. Even if he can’t win, there is still a high success rate of escaping.
Now Huang Yi truly beca the core of the people, not just in terms of prestige and status, but also in strength. Even the strongest Guardian of the Hero Empire wouldn’t dare claim they could defeat Huang Yi.
Beside him, the King of Fear had a sowhat complex expression. He had originally signed a Promise Contract with Huang Yi, agreeing only to be the Guardian of the Hero Empire for one year, after which the contract would be lifted, and he would regain freedom.
He set such a short ti fra because he was apprehensive of Huang Yi’s rapid progress.
Now, Huang Yi hasn’t reached the Void God level, yet his strength can already compete with him. What kind of strength will Huang Yi have once he advances to the Void God level?
Through history, there has never been a Demigod with such rich accumulation, except perhaps the forr King of Hell.
In this light, even after the contract is lifted in a year, Huang Yi could still subdue him with his own strength.
Aside from the King of Fear, more people were congratulating Huang Yi on becoming an Epic Hero.
They felt a sense of security from Huang Yi, like having a backer, a source of reliance and protection, eager to unite around him.
Approaching him, everyone’s attribute panel would reflect increased attribute values.
After becoming an Epic Hero, in addition to his own sharp rise in strength, Huang Yi could also bring about a group ascendancy.
A Legendary Hero looks after only themselves, no matter how powerful, they are solitary, but an Epic Hero has a leadership role, capable of emanating halo effects, enhancing the attributes of a large group around them.
The halo effect of an Epic Hero is related to spirit. Huang Yi’s spirit is "Guard," thus his halo is a Guardian aura, focusing on protective abilities.
Spirit is originally quite an abstract term, but can significantly represent this player’s experience.
Previously, when Spirit Demon beca an Epic Hero, the system bestowed him with the [Revenge] spirit. At that ti, Spirit Demon and Huang Yi were simultaneously undergoing the Hero Trial at the Oskan Royal Academy. After the trial, Vice-Principal Divine Marksman Ica gave the last piece of Heroic Aura to Huang Yi. Feeling insulted, Spirit Demon angrily joined the Demon Clan and later personally killed Vice-Principal Divine Marksman Ica, achieving revenge.
Now, Huang Yi is bestowed with the [Guard] spirit. On the surface, he appears to be a very bloodthirsty person, having nurous mass killings, but many tis, his slaughter was for protection.
In Dragon City, he orchestrated a massacre, killing hundreds of thousands of players to protect Qin Shiyu;
During the national war, he slaughtered wantonly, even wiping out all Super-First Masters of the Invading Army, protecting Hero’s Continent;
When the Demon Clan set up the World-Ending Formation, he eliminated 1/7 of the Demon Clan by killing the Queen of Agony, guarding the world.
His killing, in fact, was for redemption, for protection.
Upon becoming an Epic Hero, when allies are near him, they can all receive his protection, the most direct manifestation being the Guardian aura.
The Guardian aura can passively take effect, or be actively activated, possessing incredibly strong effects for a period.
The next mont, Huang Yi actively activated his Guardian aura!
In an instant, a golden light spread outward from Huang Yi, forming a gigantic halo, extending across a wide region around him.
In this area, all the Reincarnators and Guardians were enveloped by this golden light, as if clad in a layer of golden armor, shining brilliantly, impervious to blades and spears.
The crowd quickly checked the attributes of this aura—
[Guardian Aura]: The Epic Hero’s Aura of [King of the World·God of Killing].
Passive Effect: As long as allies are near [King of the World·God of Killing], they can receive protection, increasing All Attributes by 20% and gaining 50% damage Immunity.
Active Effect: All defense-type abilities of allies within the aura can be shared with all other allies. When the sharing occurs 30 tis, the active effect ends, with a cooldown ti of 5 days. Energy Value can be consud to speed up the cooldown, reducing one day of cooldown per ten thousand Energy Value consud.
"What a powerful aura!"
"As expected from an Epic Hero! The effect of just one aura is stronger than all the long-term BUFFs combined from the priest class!"
"If all defense-type abilities are shared, then aren’t we all Immortal Bodies?"
The crowd marveled, as the passive effect of this Epic Hero was already strong enough, and it also had an active effect that could share all defense-type abilities of nearby allies.
For instance, when Huang Yi’s Wings of Protection activates the active effect, he can gain 20 seconds of Invincibility, receiving no damage. Under the Guardian Aura, all allies within the aura can share this ability, remaining Invincible for 20 seconds.
"The Guardian Aura of the God of Killing is so strong, perhaps the Vengeance Aura of the Spirit Demon isn’t weak either. He should have been Teleported back to The Second World with us, but we don’t know where he’s hiding now. We must be cautious, as he might suddenly strike at any mont!" Heavenly Dao suddenly said, turning his head warily to survey the surroundings.
Huang Yi nodded, solemnly saying, "Yes! Previously, I did not defeat the Spirit Demon through combat; I used my Na Bestowing Skill to Instakill him, not through direct conflict. The Spirit Demon’s strength likely matches mine now for a face-to-face battle."
Huang Yi was very aware that although his strength had soared recently, having mastered the Void God Battle Body and fused all Race bloodlines to beco an Epic Hero, he remained vigilant. If players like Sharp Sword, Dream Against the Heavens, and Spirit Demon were determined to kill him, he was not confident of surviving.
Next, Huang Yi again attacked the Black Robe of the King of Hell.
This ti, his assault resembled a Deity unleashing the Wrath of the Godslayer, seeming enough to cleave the world in half, shaking the Black Robe of the King of Hell with Divine Power, almost sending it flying away.
"The God of Killing is truly troubleso!" Outside the Lunar Prison, the Moon Clan’s Shuang Sha exchanged glances and said solemnly, their faces grave.
"Then we shall kill him." From under the hood of the King of Hell, a cold voice erged.
...
"Spirit Demon, I command you to kill the God of Killing at all costs!" Within The Second World, the Spirit Demon received a ssage from the King of Hell.
He looked up at where the sky fluctuated during the principal’s Divine Enthronent, with Divine Power pervading, resembling an aurora, showing the intensity of the battle there.
The Spirit Demon longed to rush up and confront Huang Yi directly. Their previous battles ended with trickery, lacking a straightforward fight with punches against flesh, no gratifying exchange of blows.
However, the recent Epic Hero announcent deterred him from engaging Huang Yi in a direct fight.
"God of Killing, last ti you Instakilled , this ti, let Instakill you too!" The Spirit Demon looked towards the sky with a grim smile, then gave his hand a flick, producing an eyeball.
This eyeball emitted a ghostly blue and terrifying glow, moving like a living creature in his hand, inspecting the surroundings ceaselessly.
The surface of the eyeball displayed countless scenes of struggling souls, as if it were an Eye of Hell, exuding evil and eeriness.
The Spirit Demon raised his head and used his fingers to widen his left eye socket, slowly inserting the bizarre eyeball inside, finally blinking to adjust its position.
"Eye of the Soul, perceive life, whoever it sees, is dood to die!" The Spirit Demon recited a Spell with a hoarse voice, in a sinister tone, akin to the Devil whispering in Hell’s depths.
The next mont, the surface of the strange eyeball in his left eye displayed Huang Yi, ten thousand kiloters up in the sky, who was wielding the Wrath of the Godslayer, attacking the Black Robe of the King of Hell with full force.
"God of Killing, prepare to die!" The Spirit Demon watched Huang Yi motionlessly, smiling slightly.
This mysterious eyeball was his exclusive Magic Instrunt—the Eye of the Soul.
Last ti he used the Soul Plague to poison all the online players worldwide, system-sealing him as the [World Destroyer] and rewarding him with this Magic Instrunt embryo nad after himself—the [Eye of the Soul].
After venturing into the Underworld, he upgraded this Magic Instrunt several levels, birthing its first Divine Artifact Skill [Eye of the Soul]. This skill required a high cost, but the effect was even more powerful—
By staring at the target for a minute, the target will die instantly.
At this mont, Huang Yi was still fiercely fighting in the sky, unaware that the Eye of the Soul had already marked him.
