Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

The fierce battle between Li Changgong and Silver Armor continued unabated. After round after round of probing exchanges, both sides had finally discerned each other’s trump cards.

Silver Armor, having endured the Command Center building’s detonation head-on, still managed to hold the upper hand in his battle against Li Changgong.

However, even he could not achieve complete dominance when facing Li Changgong, who held the home-field advantage.

The cold wind howled through the sky as Li Changgong’s blade gleam and Silver Armor’s black smoke screens continuously swept across the half-skies above Chang’an City.

Wherever they passed, everything that came into contact was cleaved cleanly in two.

Black and white radiance interwove, demolishing every high-rise structure in the city’s most central district as effortlessly and smoothly as a knife slicing through paper buildings.

The other Transcendents in the city felt as though two colossal monsters were colliding out there. Even the residual might radiating from the battle and the thunderous collapse of hundred-meter-tall towers sent chills down their spines.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Chang’an City, another battlefield was blazing just as fiercely.

The Northwest Major Region’s second Epsilon-class Transcendent, Chi You, Xiao Lie, was locked in fierce combat alongside the Five Extremes War Gods against the Azure Armor warriors commanded by the Black-White Commander!

Xiao Lie had only recently ascended to the Epsilon rank. As his battle with the Black-White Commander dragged on, he quickly sensed the gap between his own supernatural power level and his opponent’s.

Therefore, he did not recklessly launch an assault. Instead, he adopted the most prudent approach, leveraging Chang’an City’s geographical advantages to mount his offensive!

Behind the Wolf Fang forces’ battle formation, one launch base after another opened up. Giant missiles soared into the sky one after another, streaking toward the coordinates Xiao Lie had designated.

Xiao Lie’s back bore a pair of fleshy wings, granting him the ability to soar through the air.

The various weapons he had carried on his person were nearly depleted by now, but here, he could receive an endless stream of resupplies.

The Black-White Commander’s ability was the mastery of wind.

Wind was the sharpest attacking blade; wind was the shield wall that repelled all.

With his wind-based power, he was formidable in both offense and defense. Even when Xiao Lie coordinated with Chen Jiahao’s Firepower Above All, breaking through his defenses remained an elusive goal.

”I’m actually starting to feel a grudging respect for you people!”

The Black-White Commander’s body floated in midair, buoyed by the power of the wind. He fixed his gaze on Xiao Lie ahead and said coolly, ”Even vermin fight with everything they’ve got just to stay alive!”

”But that is precisely why I find you pitiable!”

The Black-White Commander spread his arms wide, and behind him, more than a dozen colossal tornadoes rapidly took shape!

They were formed by cloud currents from the sky funneling downward, connecting heaven and earth. They resembled a dozen terrifying dragons, howling as they obliterated every structure within a dozen kilometers!

The pitch-black tornadoes roared as they swept toward Xiao Lie and all the Wolf Fang Guards behind him!

Xiao Lie gritted his silver teeth, his gaze like that of a starving wolf locked in a death struggle!

”Isn’t it a little too early to be saying things like that?”

He raised his right hand high, and behind him, streaks of brilliant starlight flared to life, trailing long fiery tails.

Over a dozen missiles came streaking toward the sky above his head.

He had calculated the timing perfectly. By the time they reached his altitude, their speed had not yet truly reached maximum velocity.

This gave Xiao Lie the opportunity to perform secondary operations on them.

”Metal Frenzy!”

A powerful force surged within Xiao Lie’s palm. Under its influence, those terrifying black iron beasts soaring through the air, as fearsome as sharks, began to undergo dramatic transformations.

Their forms twisted rapidly, their bodies swelling larger, until they swiftly morphed into a dozen ferocious black dragons!

”ROOOAR!!!”

The dragon swarm abruptly reversed course in midair. Guided by Xiao Lie, they hurtled toward the Black-White Commander and the tornadoes behind him.

Having transformed into dragons, the missiles’ destructive power was vastly amplified. Moreover, their flight trajectories had become impossible to predict through conventional means.

Their speed, having fully accelerated through the air, reached several times the speed of Mach, generating violent sonic booms that thundered relentlessly.

The Black-White Commander attempted to lock onto their positions with his tactical systems, only to find these dragon-shaped missiles utterly defied prediction.

Like undulating ripples, they came racing toward him!

”What... what kind of flight path is this? They move as if they were alive!”

The Black-White Commander was stunned, but he also understood the terror of this power. Immediately, he drove his tornadoes forward to form a barrier.

A dozen colossal tornadoes lined up in a row, forming a wall that connected heaven and earth, howling and surging forward with overwhelming force!

”Go!!!”

Xiao Lie swept his arm forward, and the dragon-shaped missiles slammed violently into those immense tornado walls!

The instant they collided, a cataclysmic explosion erupted!

Dazzling firelight illuminated all of Chang’an City in that split second. Combining the power of cutting-edge modern weapons technology with Xiao Lie’s Metal Frenzy ability, the combined detonation force of these dozen dragon-shaped missiles approached the level of a miniature Love of Death!

The shockwave unleashed by their collision with the tornado wall radiated outward in all directions. Neither combatant had any attention left to spare for anyone else.

A great number of Azure Armor warriors and Wolf Fang Guards in the vicinity were annihilated outright by the shockwave.

Even the Five Extremes War Gods’ expressions changed drastically.

Fortunately, they were far away. But even from over a dozen kilometers distant, the wave of searing heat washing over them made them feel as though they were nearly being melted!

Buildings collapsed, war vehicles liquefied, human bodies turned to ash.

Such was the might of an Epsilon-class Transcendent, fused with the destructive power of modernized military weaponry!

The missiles tore a fissure straight through the tornado wall. The Black-White Commander’s face was a mask of utter astonishment. He could not believe his ability had actually been breached!

That immense force slammed into his body, sending him flying backward with brutal violence!

He hurtled through the air like a cannonball, punching through hundreds of high-rise buildings before finally grinding to a precarious halt.

The protective Wind Release shielded him from being smashed into pulp, yet his body had still sustained considerable damage.

”Humans... human weapons of mass destruction can actually be fused with supernatural powers for combat!”

The Black-White Commander clutched his chest, which now throbbed with agonizing pain. As he opened his mouth, a trickle of blood seeped out.

He had been far too arrogant, far too careless.

Because Xiao Lie was merely Li Changgong’s deputy, he had developed a dismissive attitude toward him.

But he had forgotten that every Transcendent capable of ascending to the Epsilon domain was a prodigy rarely seen even among millions!

What’s more, Xiao Lie’s ability, when bolstered by battle formation support, could maximize the potential of modern military weapons, allowing him to slay enemies whose ability index far surpassed his own!

And even now, this was not his strongest form.

If he were to use his ability to empower and control the Love of Death, then never mind the Black-White Commander, even a Black Chariot-tier Transcendent would have no choice but to steer clear of its edge!
