Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

The situation on site was three against two. The Lord of the Charnel Ground and the other guy were both native superhumans of the Snowy Plateau Region and knew each other.

In their view, the Demon Kingdom treasure belonged to their esoteric sect. Of course, they couldn’t allow outsiders to get their hands on it.

So, although it wasn’t clear who these people were, the current alignment of the three individuals was the same, leading them to choose to join forces against the Lord of the Charnel Ground and the Golden-Winged Superhuman.

The tall superhuman felt the oppressive force from the Lord of the Charnel Ground. The Golden-Winged Superhuman shot a storm-like barrage of feather blades, targeting him first.

The tall superhuman suddenly let out a loud laugh.

His body became even more towering and upright. The knight’s longsword in his right hand violently erupted with purple hellfire, and a terrifying black devil’s head slowly solidified behind him.

The power of the five individuals converged in one place, and the situation had already become completely uncontrollable.

If the power of any one person went out of control, the resulting consequences would be unimaginable.

If this power overflowed outward now, it would be comparable to a small-scale Death Reaper of Love, even capable of destroying half of the massive Lhasa City!

But everyone was already in a situation where they couldn’t back down. Whoever withdrew first would become the floodgate, utterly submerged by the surging power!

Zhang Yi’s gaze was ice-cold. A massive black hole also manifested behind him. Boundless void power surged out like a tide, transforming into energy akin to flames around his body, pouring into the point of energy convergence.

On the scale of power confrontation, the balance began to tip towards Zhang Yi’s side of three.

”Pfft!”

The Lord of the Charnel Ground suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. He was bearing the brunt of the pressure from the three in front, while the Golden-Winged Superhuman could only provide him with support.

But he hadn’t expected that the strength of the three before him far exceeded his expectations!

Zhang Yi understood in his heart that whether it was the tall superhuman or the Golden-Armored Superhuman, their strength was enough to rank at the top in any nation!

These people had probably all come for the Demon Kingdom’s treasure.

But where did they get the information from?

Zhang Yi’s thoughts whirled rapidly, and he considered one possibility.

The Four Great Families claimed they wouldn’t leak the secret of the Demon Kingdom treasure, which was why even the Shengjing side hadn’t received any news.

But, if Pagyi Gesang could seek Zhang Yi’s help, couldn’t other forces of the Snowy Plateau Region also seek outside assistance?

It was chaotic, truly utterly chaotic!

Zhang Yi had no spare mind to ponder these issues now. Within this area spanning over a thousand meters, the terrifying power had already taken on a viscous form, extremely unstable, ready to explode at any moment!

After spitting blood, the Lord of the Charnel Ground’s face turned pale for an instant, but soon, the power transmitted from the three thousand Prayer Wheel Towers of Sangha Monastery restored him to his original state.

As the reincarnated Lord of the Charnel Ground, he carried the accumulated faith of the entire esoteric sect spanning thousands of years.

He could no longer be called a human; this physical body was merely a vessel for the Lord of the Charnel Ground.

As long as the faith didn’t vanish, he would not perish.

The violent power was almost on the verge of losing control.

Yet, right at this moment, the monsters carved on that enormous Demon Kingdom gate all simultaneously turned their eyeballs, looking towards this place.

Those ancient ancestors carved on the Demon Kingdom gate seemed to have come back to life, lowering their heads to gaze upon the people of thousands of years later.

Suddenly, an extremely strange smile appeared on the Lord of the Charnel Ground’s face.

He formed a mudra with his hands. In an instant, that surging power seemed to find a vent and rushed straight towards the Lord of the Charnel Ground!

The terrifying, extreme power completely swallowed the Lord of the Charnel Ground. He closed his eyes, a smile on his face.

That power penetrated his body and then slammed directly into the Demon Kingdom gate!

A cold light flashed in Zhang Yi’s eyes. ”Not good, we’ve all been used by him!”

The Golden-Winged Superhuman had long since retreated to the side, watching all this coldly.

Zhang Yi and the others now looked at each other. How could they not understand? This was all a setup by the Lord of the Charnel Ground.

He was using the power of all of them to jointly open this Demon Kingdom gate.

Because relying on the power of one person alone couldn’t budge the Demon Kingdom gate in the slightest.

Forced by the Lord of the Charnel Ground, they had no choice but to exert their full strength. Gathering the power of five top-tier superhumans, that enormous gate indeed began to show strange movements.

The earth shook violently, dust flying everywhere.

One low, rumbling sound after another seemed to come from within the gate, like the low growl of a fierce beast.

”There’s something inside there.”

The tall superhuman’s expression also turned serious now, no longer laughing.

The several individuals maintained a sufficiently safe distance, staring fixedly at that gate.

But that incredibly tall gate slowly, from its seams, began to seep out blood!

Extremely viscous blood slowly oozed along the door seams, staining the sculptures of ancient ancestors and monsters on it, as if the demonic citizens of the ancient Demon Kingdom had all come back to life.

A chill ran down Zhang Yi’s back. He actually felt that all the people and monsters above were staring fixedly at him.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. That strike just now had shattered his body, but bolstered by the power of the esoteric sect, his body rapidly recovered to its original state. Even though his clothes were torn, his precious body remained flawless.

He pressed his palms together, smiling as he bowed towards everyone.

”Thank you all for your assistance.”

The Demon Kingdom gate showed no signs of opening, but the blood had already transformed into a viscous river, flooding towards everyone.

The Golden-Winged Superhuman didn’t hesitate, vibrating his wings as he flew towards the well opening he came from.

From within that gate came bursts of extremely sinister laughter, like a ritual ceremony, or like the maniacal laughter of evil spirits.

By now, without realizing it, cold sweat was already soaking Zhang Yi’s back.

All this was too bizarre, making the inherently cautious him unwilling to linger any longer.

Besides, even the Golden-Winged Superhuman had left, indicating this place could no longer be stayed in for long. Therefore, Zhang Yi directly opened a Dimensional Gate and swiftly left the area.

Zhang Yi didn’t go far. Before leaving, he secretly left a miniature camera inside to observe the changes here, lest someone try to sneak in and steal the prize.

After him, the tall superhuman and the Golden-Armored Superhuman hesitated briefly. But sensing the eeriness behind the gate, they also chose not to take further risks.

Their current status and position were too lofty; preserving their lives was undoubtedly the most important.

In the end, only the Lord of the Charnel Ground remained, standing atop the river of blood.

He turned to look at that gate still gurgling with viscous blood, let out a soft sigh, pressed his palms together, and recited a Buddhist chant.

The blood continued to flow. The gate showed no signs of opening, and the mournful song behind it still rang incessantly.

Only when the blood had filled the entire valley, forming a massive blood pool, did it stop surging out.

Everything slowly returned to calm, except that the enormous Demon Kingdom gate had turned from its initial bluish-black to a dark crimson.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground lowered his hands, didn’t spare another glance, and turned to leave this place.

”He just left like that?”

Zhang Yi frowned, suspicion inevitably arising in his heart.

Wasn’t he afraid others would come back later?

Or was it that even if others secretly slipped back later, they still couldn’t open the Demon Kingdom gate?

”Could the key in the hands of the Four Great Families be the necessary item to open the Demon Kingdom gate?”

Zhang Yi fell into brief contemplation.
