Chapter 0464: The Lord of Hell
Huang Long smiled upon hearing this and said, “Then next time the hell beasts invade, step forward and drive them back.”
Huang Liang hesitated for a moment before laughing and saying, “But my second brother is here! He can use the Dayan Extinction Sword Formation to scare those hell beasts into running away in terror!” He even gestured wildly as the others laughed.
Huang Long shook his head.
After entering Tianhuan City, they strolled along the streets before arriving at a restaurant.
“Gentlemen, please, come in!” The restaurant owner, a high-ranking deity with a three-day beard,’s eyes lit up upon seeing Huang Long and the others. He rushed out to greet them, bowing deeply with great respect. Though he couldn’t tell their identities, the aura emanating from Huang Long and Brade made him feel pressured—enough to make him treat them with utmost respect.
Huang Long and the others were no ordinary people; he had enough insight to realize that.
They nodded and entered.
The restaurant was quite deserted, with three floors, but not a single person was on any floor; most tables were empty. Huang Long and the others chose a seat at random.
“Boss, what good dishes and drinks do you have? Bring them all to us. I’ve heard that hell beasts make delicious food,” said Huang Wei after sitting down.
Unexpectedly, the boss showed hesitation and then said apologetically, “Brother, you don’t know—although hell beast meat is delicious, no restaurant in Tianhuan City dares to use it as their main dish.”
“Oh, why is that?” Bog asked in confusion.
“Gentlemen must have just come from other cities. Tianhuan City is often plagued by hell beasts. Although we have the protection of the main deity’s army, things are usually fine. But sometimes it’s not safe here either. Whenever these hell beasts attack, any restaurant that uses their meat as a main dish is destroyed. There was once a restaurant owner in Tianhuan City who thought he could get away with it because he was a relative of Lord Kim, the ruler of Bugi Prefecture. But later, he was killed by hell beasts in a horrible manner—his divine body was torn apart, and his head was hung at the city gates of Tianhuan City,” the boss explained, shuddering at the memory of the owner’s tragic death.
Bog and the others exchanged glances. Though they knew the hell beasts often attacked Tianhuan City, they hadn’t realized they were so rampant.
“Then just bring some random dishes and drinks,” Huang Long said at that moment.
“Yes, yes, yes, my lords, please wait a moment.” The restaurant owner, as if pardoned, nodded in agreement and stepped back. Sometimes, some guests, unaware of the seriousness, still insisted on ordering the Prison Beast dish after hearing what he said, which caused trouble.
“Brother, these Prison Beasts have become so rampant. Why don’t we stay a few more days and wait for the next batch to arrive so we can kill them thoroughly?” Huang Liang said angrily, looking at Huang Long expectantly.
“Enough, Liang. You only know how to cause trouble. We came to Buji Mansion to borrow the Soul-Stabilizing Stone from its master,” Zhao Rong interjected.
Huang Liang’s spirits sank.
Huang Long smiled and said, “After Sister Four’s matter is settled, it’ll be easy for you to kill those Prison Beasts. Just go to Purgatory then.”
“Purgatory? Brother Two, really?!” Huang Liang’s eyes lit up.
“Lie!” Huang Xiong laughed. “You only know how to play, just like Sister Four.”
Huang Liang was speechless, and everyone laughed.
A while later, the restaurant owner brought the side dishes and told Huang Long and the others to enjoy their meal. If they needed anything, they could just ask before leaving.
But just as Huang Long and the others were about to start eating, suddenly, continuous roars of beasts could be heard. The godly warriors sitting in the restaurant immediately stood up, their faces twisted in fear, and hurriedly left. Dense footsteps echoed from the streets outside.
“Could it be?” the others guessed.
“My lords, it’s bad news! Those Prison Beasts, after attacking Tianhuan City just now, have come again!” the restaurant owner rushed forward anxiously.
His words confirmed what Huang Long and the others were thinking. It was true?!
“Heh, Brother, Father, Mother. It seems we don’t need to stay in Tianhuan City for a few more days.” As everyone was shocked by the repeated attacks by the Prison Beasts, Huang Liang stood up, his face filled with uncontrollable joy.
“Liang, stop being silly!” Huang Xiong scolded. “Those Prison Beasts are far more terrifying than demons. Do you think this is fun?”
“But there’s Brother Two and Bradd here,” Huang Liang said in a much weaker voice.
“Then let’s go. It’s a chance. We might as well go take a look,” Huang Xiong said, about to add more, when Huang Long spoke up.
“Long, this?” Huang Xiong was stunned.
“It’s fine,” Huang Long said with a smile, giving Huang Xiong a reassuring look.
Huang Xiong nodded.
Now, with Huang Long and Bradd’s strength, even if those peerless strong Prison Beasts came, everyone would no longer fear them.
“My lords, are you planning to leave the city to hunt these Prison Beasts?” The restaurant owner was shocked after hearing what Huang Long and the others said, then asked.
“My lords, I advise you not to go. Though you are all strong, these prison beasts are not easy to deal with. You must not have seen the horror of a swarm of prison beasts—billions upon billions of them rushing forward. Even the main god armies guarding Tianhuan City turn pale at the sight. Moreover, many of these prison beasts are extremely powerful, including some with leadership abilities,” advised the restaurant owner.
Prison beasts that have reached the level of peerless warriors are called leaders in hell, namely Purgatory Leaders.
“Leadership abilities?!” Bog and the others were also shocked.
“Then didn’t the main god armies of the other principal cities send any reinforcements?” Bradd frowned and asked.
“Yes, they did, but as you may not know, these prison beasts come and go quickly. By the time the other armies arrive, they’ve already retreated. After many such incidents, they no longer send reinforcements unless the situation is extremely serious,” said the restaurant owner.
“Let’s go,” Huang Long said after a while. With that, he turned and left.
Bog gave the restaurant owner a Divine Stone for the food and drinks, then followed Huang Long out of the restaurant.
Seeing that Huang Long and the others still insisted on going, the restaurant owner shook his head. He had seen those who couldn’t resist curiosity and went ahead, only to never return, adding just more divine bodies outside Tianhuan City.
After a while, Huang Long and the others arrived above Tianhuan City.
“This restaurant owner really wasn’t exaggerating. There must be billions of these prison beasts!” Bradd said as they looked at the swarm approaching Tianhuan City from above.
From afar, the swarm of prison beasts resembled a sea of dark ants, rushing toward Tianhuan City like waves hitting the shore.
Apart from Huang Long and Bradd, everyone else’s expressions turned grave upon seeing the swarm.
Before long, the swarm was already tens of thousands of miles away from Tianhuan City.
“Huh? Are there really human gods who dare to leave the city?!” A lion-shaped prison beast at the front of the swarm spotted Huang Long and the others, expressing surprise and then joy.
“Mad Lion, this time, you can’t snatch them away. They’re mine!” A elephant-shaped prison beast chuckled nearby.
“Enough, stop fighting!” A middle-aged man at the front spoke firmly as the two beasts prepared to argue again.
A human-shaped prison beast, a peerless warrior, a Purgatory Leader!
“Yes, Lord Leader!” The two prison beasts quickly replied respectfully, their eyes filled with awe.
The middle-aged man nodded, then stared at Huang Long and the others, finally fixing his gaze on Huang Long and Brad. If he couldn’t see through these two, what did that mean? World-class powerhouses?! Even if they weren’t world-class powerhouses and had used some secret technique to conceal their aura, just that alone meant they were no ordinary people.
“Kill!” Although the appearance of Huang Long and the others took the middle-aged man by surprise, he didn’t hesitate and gave the order to attack.
“Roar!” “Roar!”
“Kill!” “Kill!”
At his command, the horde of prison beasts behind him let out fierce roars. Their voices formed a terrifying sonic storm that rushed toward Tianhuan City, with the beasts charging forward in droves.
Wherever the sonic storm passed, everything on the ground was torn to pieces and swept away. The horrifying sound could be heard in every corner of Tianhuan City, and all the god-tier powerhouses felt the terrifying aura of slaughter.
Huang Long also nodded inwardly. The power of this prison beast horde’s sonic storm was far stronger than the Dragon God Eight Tones he had used before breaking through to world-class strength. After all, this was a horde of billions of prison beasts—even an elephant would be killed by a swarm of millions of ants.
“Brother, what should we do?!” Huang Liang paled at the might of the prison beast horde. It far exceeded his imagination. If it weren’t for Huang Long and Brad by his side giving him strength, not to mention killing these beasts, even just the sonic storm from their roars would be enough to destroy him completely.
The sonic storm was approaching Huang Long and the others at a terrifying speed.
Huang Long smiled at Huang Liang’s expression, then signaled Brad. Brad understood and flew forward, shouting loudly. Gray energy surged around him and spread instantly. As he spun, his destructive divine power blasted out like a storm, spreading over millions of miles.
Boom, boom boom!
Brad’s destructive divine power collided with the sonic storm from the prison beast horde, producing continuous loud explosions and changing the weather patterns.
Only world-class powerhouses could withstand the force of this horde’s sonic storm alone. Although Bog and the others were strong, they were still weak against such a terrifying force, which was why Huang Long let Brad take action.
The violent shockwaves from the collision between Brad’s destructive divine power and the sonic storm swept outward, sending the leading beasts charging forward flying into the air.
“World-class powerhouses! Human world-class powerhouses!” The prison beasts exclaimed in shock.
At that moment, the main god army of Tianhuan City also started to shout in astonishment.
The Lord of Purgatory, who led the horde of prison beasts, was shocked at first, then leaped up, waving his hands. The power of death, like mountains on all sides, blocked the residual waves of energy.
