Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Fallen Ashen Flames against Condensing the Void.

The pitch-black color nearly swallowed all the light in the entire room. Before the surging power even made contact, it already sent a soul-deep shudder through anyone who sensed it.

Hua Hua wasn’t idle on the other side. The moment Lancelot appeared near Zhang Yi, it had already detected him.

“Meow——”

It let out a furious roar as its body swelled up violently. Thick black spikes erupted from its form, shooting toward Lancelot’s back!

Facing the combined attack of Zhang Yi and Hua Hua, Lancelot’s face twisted into a manic grin.

He actually wielded his sword with one hand while summoning a Protective Shield with the other to block Hua Hua’s assault.

With just one hand, he clashed against Zhang Yi’s blade light!

The moment their overwhelming forces collided, even the palace built from Barrier Stones began to tremble violently.

The vibration was so intense that even the entire massive Holy Spirit Hall responded.

At this very moment, at the corridor entrance of the palace, Gao Changkong led Gu Man and Chen Xiaozheng as he slightly furrowed his brow.

“How did they start fighting?”

But soon enough, he smiled dismissively.

“No matter. This day was bound to come.”

With that, he slowly walked forward. His elongated shadow stretched behind him, casting a massive, ominous silhouette.

And directly ahead of him, the Guardian of the Holy Spirit Hall, Grand General Baburu, sat steadily on his chair, as if waiting for his arrival.

…

Lancelot clashed head-on with Zhang Yi and Hua Hua. The sheer force of that strike sent him flying backward, his arms tingling with numbness.

But physical problems were never something he needed to worry about.

As long as Agravain hadn’t exhausted her energy and died, his body wouldn’t suffer even the smallest wound.

His body hung upside down from the ceiling, staring at Zhang Yi with wild, frenzied eyes, a crazed grin twisting his lips.

“Ready? The real show is just beginning!”

The moment the words left his mouth, he shot toward Zhang Yi like a cannonball!

Zhang Yi frowned as the Dimensional Gate of [Manifold Phenomena] appeared before him.

To Lancelot, the spatial fluctuations were as clear as ripples on a lake when a stone was thrown.

He could naturally sense the existence of the Dimensional Gate, but he wasn’t afraid in the slightest. He actually chose to plunge headfirst straight into the gate!

Yet Zhang Yi showed no sign of joy, because less than a second later, a Dimensional Gate burst apart, unable to withstand Lancelot’s power!

Lancelot’s figure appeared, and he launched another attack at Zhang Yi!

“This bastard!”

Zhang Yi hadn’t expected Lancelot to see through his attack pattern so quickly.

After unleashing a void skill, he entered a cooldown period during which he couldn’t launch powerful offensive moves. He could only rely on Dimensional Gates for defense.

The three thousand Dimensional Gates were Zhang Yi’s method of splitting his risks by partitioning his space.

Doing this avoided the danger of being completely exposed to the enemy if a single gate collapsed.

But the cost was that each individual space’s tolerance threshold decreased, making them vulnerable to being broken one by one.

When facing an enemy with enough overwhelming power, this was the trouble that arose.

Lancelot, like a demon crawling out of hell, burned with terrifying black flames across his body. Grinning savagely, he raised his sword and slashed at Zhang Yi’s Dimensional Gates!

One, two, three…

Unleashing his absolute power, he could launch tens of thousands of wild attacks in a single fleeting moment! It wouldn’t take long to destroy a Dimensional Gate!

Of course, Zhang Yi wouldn’t let him do as he pleased.

After thirteen Dimensional Gates were destroyed, his power had recovered from the gap.

He looked at Lancelot, who was right in front of him, desperately trying to shatter every single gate and drag him out from his impenetrable dimensional doorways.

The light in Zhang Yi’s eyes began to warp.

“Less than thirty meters from me—do you have any idea that [Divine Destruction] at this range is absolutely impossible to dodge!”

His strongest mid-to-short-range attack, the full-area coverage strike skill [Divine Destruction], activated instantly!

In a sense, aside from its range limitation, this move’s power even surpassed all the attack methods that followed Condensing the Void!

Lancelot’s frenzied assault came to an abrupt halt, because his sixth sense screamed danger.

“Protective Shield!”

He raised the shield on his left hand—a modest-sized cross knight shield—which erupted with an eerie black glow. The severed cross emblem grew increasingly distinct, as if it were a blasphemy against the gods.

Black light surged from the shield, transforming into a hemispherical energy barrier that blocked Lancelot’s front.

At this range, [Divine Destruction] could only be endured head-on; dodging was impossible.

With the frontal impact, even his shield’s glow was dimmed to the point of being dull, and his entire body was sent flying backward.

“Boom!”

This time, Lancelot smashed through who knew how many vines before finally crashing into the wall!

But, as always—as long as Agravain didn’t die, his injuries meant nothing.

Unlike Zhou Ke’er, Agravain wasn’t a doctor. She was more like a sustainer, using her superhuman ability—even her life—to replenish another person.

After Lancelot’s injuries healed, his face twisted into a crazed sneer, and he charged back like a violent gale!

“Your attack needs at least five seconds to recover power—that’s probably the weakness of defensive-type superhumans! But my attacks don’t need any gap!”

Zhang Yi said coldly, “Who are you trying to fool? Without that plant-enhanced freak boosting your defense, you’d already be beaten to a pulp!”

Lancelot’s great sword came crashing down from above.

“As a warrior, don’t make excuses for your failure! Winning is everything!”

This time, he shattered another sixteen of Zhang Yi’s Dimensional Gates!

Even if Zhang Yi and Hua Hua poured all their strength into resisting, it was clear under these circumstances that they were on the losing side.

In fact, they were at a disadvantage.

“At this rate, I can hold out for at most ten more minutes before I have to cut and run!”

Zhang Yi muttered to himself.

If all three thousand Dimensional Gates were shattered, his abilities would be crippled. It would take at least a day to restore the use of his Dimensional Space.

At that point, he might not even be able to defeat the weakest Epsilon-level, putting him in serious danger here and now.

“But it’s okay. I’m not lacking for backup either.”

Zhang Yi took a deep breath. After some time, he finally got the result he wanted.

The vines from the Sword in the Tree that he had severed and stored inside a Dimensional Space were rapidly dying, with no further growth.

This meant that Bors couldn’t invade Zhang Yi’s space through the vines extended by the Sword in the Tree.

Zhang Yi transferred a segment of vine into his shadow and said to Zhou Ke’er, “Now, analyze this thing thoroughly. Is it human tissue, or plant tissue?”
