Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1268: The Five Epsilons
Chapter 1268: The Five Epsilons
Looking at the massive gate before him, Zhang Yi's heart was filled with all sorts of suspicions and guesses.
He didn't make any move, instead turning his gaze toward the black-clad man.
The black-clad man stared at the Demon Kingdom gate before him, step by step walking up to it, reaching out a hand as if to touch it, yet his movements clearly held a trace of timidity.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered his courage and placed his hand upon it.
Zhang Yi could sense that the man was clearly beginning to exert force, but that enormous gate remained completely unmoved.
The magnitude of the power was so great that even the surrounding earth veins began to shake violently. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
This person was a powerful superhuman of the Epsilon-level!
Encountering an existence of this level in the Snowy Plateau Region, Zhang Yi's first thought was of the Lord of the Charnel Ground from Sangha Monastery.
"It should be him. Possessing Epsilon-level strength and able to find the entrance to the Demon Kingdom gate, it can only be him."
He never expected that this Lord of the Charnel Ground would come here alone, quietly, before the Prayer Festival.
The situation in the Snowy Plateau Region was truly more complex than imagined.
Golden power began to surge from the Lord of the Charnel Ground's body. He gathered his strength, attempting to push open that ancient gate with his own two hands.
But no matter how powerful his strength was, that gate remained completely unaffected, not even the slightest gap loosening.
After careful consideration, Zhang Yi opened a Dimensional Gate in front of himself.
Since brute force couldn't open it, he would try using his spatial-type abilities.
Something that could stir the heart of the Lord of the Charnel Ground of the Snowy Plateau Region—he wanted to see if he could steal a little advantage.
However, the result of the attempt left Zhang Yi utterly astonished.
The spatial power he had used in the past, always successful, was now, as it approached that ancient gate, completely unable to traverse it!
It was as if some force was canceling it out as his superhuman ability drew near.
Zhang Yi refused to believe it was impossible. He opened several more Dimensional Gates, attempting to pass through that massive gate, but each attempt ended in failure.
This was the first terrain Zhang Yi had ever encountered that he couldn't traverse, filling his heart with a profound sense of awe.
This feeling of powerlessness, he had experienced it once not long ago.
That was beneath the Qinling Mountains, when facing Bai Longzi.
His proud spatial traversal skill had been casually broken by Bai Longzi with a mere wave of his hand.
"This place is indeed extraordinary, full of strangeness!"
In Zhang Yi's mind, the thought of retreat even began to sprout.
If just a gate was this difficult to deal with, who knew what powerful existences lay below?
What if he encountered another existence on the same level as the Gatekeeper of the Netherworld or Bai Longzi, who also wanted to kill him? Wouldn't he just be coming here to court death?
Zhang Yi never liked taking risks.
But Zhang Yi didn't leave immediately. He still wanted to see what the Lord of the Charnel Ground would do.
Moreover, he couldn't leave now.
Because from the other end of the underground valley, another person walked out.
When Zhang Yi saw this person, his pupils couldn't help but contract sharply.
Because the person walking over wore only coarse cloth robes, with disheveled hair, bare feet, hands clasped together reciting a Buddhist chant, slowly walking step by step.
"Benefactor, a perilous place like this is not where you should be."
When Zhang Yi saw him, his expression turned peculiar.
Because the person before him was precisely the one he had seen at the entrance to the Snowy Plateau Region.
Two Epsilons.
Zhang Yi had originally thought there was only one Epsilon-level existence in the Snowy Plateau Region. But now, between these two, who was actually the Lord of the Charnel Ground from Sangha Monastery?
One was fully clad in black, his appearance unclear; the other wore coarse cloth robes, his gaze open and honest.
Zhang Yi could almost conclude that the person he saw during the day was the Lord of the Charnel Ground from Sangha Monastery.
So who was this black-clad man then?
When the black-clad man saw the man with disheveled hair, he immediately became vigilant.
"How did you get here?"
The man with disheveled hair smiled faintly. "You can come, why can't I?"
He sighed, his face full of compassion as he said, "Stop this! You have brought too much calamity to the Snowy Plateau Region. It's still not too late to stop now. I will plead for mercy on your behalf before the Buddha."
The black-clad man sneered coldly.
"Hypocrite! Isn't the source of the Snowy Region's calamity you?"
His superhuman energy surged out like a tide. Behind him, two enormous golden wings rose into the sky like sharp blades. Zhang Yi heard a cry that shook his very soul.
Although the black-clad man displayed formidable power, the man with disheveled hair remained calm, his gaze steady.
He didn't look at the black-clad man. Instead, he turned his head and suddenly looked in Zhang Yi's direction.
"Gentlemen, have you watched enough of this show?"
Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he had isolated all his aura with his Dimensional Space. Even the most advanced electronic instruments couldn't detect his presence.
Moreover, he was hidden within the rock layer. Theoretically, no one should be able to find him.
Was this guy trying to bluff him?
The man with disheveled hair waited a moment, then shook his head.
"Given your esteemed statuses, hiding and skulking about is rather undignified, isn't it?"
Only then, from the shadows in another direction, did another person walk out.
That person's body was also shrouded in a black combat suit, his appearance unclear, only that his build was tall and imposing.
"Heh heh, I've long heard that the esoteric sect's Lord of the Charnel Ground possesses powerful 【Six Senses】, able to hear all things, that no hiding skill can escape your notice. Seeing it with my own eyes today, it is indeed impressive."
From yet another direction, another man walked out, his entire body shrouded in a dark golden combat suit, holding an eye-catching golden holy sword upside down in his hand.
He said with a smile, "We're just here to watch the show. We never expected there to be such an astonishing thing beneath the Great Snow Mountain."
The tall, imposing black-clad man snorted with disdain, looking at the golden-clad man. "What exactly is here, didn't you already know? Why pretend to be ignorant now?"
The man with disheveled hair suddenly let out a long sigh.
He looked once more in Zhang Yi's direction.
"Benefactor, please hide no longer. Since everyone is here, why not come out and say a few words?"
Only then did Zhang Yi know he could no longer remain hidden.
He changed the form of his Hidden Dragon armor. For the sake of stealth, the Hidden Dragon armor could change color and make slight adjustments to its physique.
Zhang Yi's armor was now silver-gray.
He walked out from the rock layer, standing in the center of the area, maintaining sufficient distance from the other four.
"Hello, everyone. Is everyone here now?"
Zhang Yi said with a smile.
But in reality, everyone present was extremely shaken inside.
Powerful individuals could sense each other. Among those present here, every single one possessed extraordinary strength.
In other words, here, five top-tier superhumans of the Epsilon-level had appeared simultaneously!
Five people. None of them expected this outcome.
They each thought coming here would be like striking from a higher dimension, but the result—everyone had the same idea.
