Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1269: Top-Tier Battle
Chapter 1269: Top-Tier Battle
Five people stood before the gate of the Demon Kingdom, silent and facing each other.
It was the tall, black-clad man who spoke first.
"It seems you've all come for this thing."
As he spoke, he glanced at the massive entrance gate to the Demon Kingdom.
The superhuman with golden wings grew angry, snorting coldly. "This is the treasure of the Snowy Plateau Region. Who are you people to dare lay a finger on it?"
The man with flowing hair pressed his palms together, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"Esteemed ones, though I do not know from where you received this information. This is a place where those without the blessing of the Buddhas and deities should not come."
His tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable force.
A hearty laugh erupted from the tall superhuman.
"Hahaha! This matter isn't for you to decide. According to your logic, treasures belong to the... capable."
"Since when has the esoteric sect had the right to claim the treasures of the ancients as its own?"
The man in golden robes held his long sword reversed, offering a light smile but saying nothing, though his stance was clear.
Zhang Yi remained silent, yet showed not the slightest intention of retreating.
The current situation gave him a sense of pressure.
Five Epsilon-level powerhouses appearing simultaneously in the Southwest Region; such a combined force was enough to level any medium-sized nation in this world.
But who exactly were they?
Zhang Yi pondered silently, comparing these people to the Epsilons he knew.
Unfortunately, they were all using voice modulation devices from their Smart Systems, making it impossible to discern their accents.
The man with flowing hair frowned, a trace of anger finally appearing in his eyes.
"Will you truly not leave?"
The tall superhuman shrugged his shoulders, sneering. "Why should we leave? This ancient ruin does not belong to your esoteric sect!"
The golden-winged superhuman angrily retorted, "Nonsense! This is the Demon Kingdom ruin suppressed by our ancestor, King Gesar! This very gate is proof that it belongs to our Snowy Plateau Region!"
When facing outsiders, the previously tense golden-winged superhuman and the man with flowing hair unhesitatingly stood on the same front.
He pointed toward that massive gate. A sense of ancient, heavy solidity, along with a dense, oppressive feeling of death, emanated from the door.
Who knew how much human blood King Gesar had used, poured through the esoteric sect's secret methods, when constructing this gate back then.
Zhang Yi had personally witnessed the process of the esoteric sect crafting magical implements.
Its level of bloodiness was enough to make one gasp in shock.
It was at this moment that the man in golden robes finally spoke.
He pointed at the gate. "You can take the door. But what lies behind it must stay."
It seemed the situation had reached an impasse.
The man with flowing hair pressed his palms together, chanting a Buddhist invocation.
Suddenly, a vast and mighty power erupted from his body!
At the same time, from the distant Sangha Monastery, three thousand prayer wheels began to spin rapidly. Strands of invisible, mysterious power shot into the sky, entering the Great Snow Mountain.
This power was invisible to others, but Zhang Yi and the others could see it clearly.
This left Zhang Yi stunned. He thought of the legendary power of faith and vows from incense offerings, but that was just something from myths and legends, something no one ever took seriously.
Yet the power the man with flowing hair was receiving now clearly came from the empowerment of Sangha Monastery.
No, strictly speaking, it was the empowerment from the faith of all the esoteric sect believers across the entire Snowy Plateau Region!
"Could it be... that so-called deities truly exist in this world?"
Zhang Yi's worldview was shaken.
But no matter how mysterious something was, in this mystical place that was the Snowy Plateau Region, it seemed utterly normal.
The power on the man with flowing hair continued to grow stronger.
Now, Zhang Yi could be completely certain: he was the Lord of the Charnel Ground of the Esoteric Buddhist Sect.
If not, how could he receive the empowerment of the entire esoteric sect?
His aura grew stronger and stronger, to a point where even Zhang Yi found it somewhat troublesome.
"At the very least, a superhuman ability index of 20,000 points! But initially, he gave me the impression of being around 15,000 points at most. Is this the power of the esoteric sect?"
Zhang Yi thought to himself.
Fortunately, having now absorbed the sacrificial spirit and obtained the Hidden Dragon armor, his own strength had also received a massive boost, reaching a staggering 18,000 points!
Even facing a superhuman with an index 2,000 points higher than his own, if he couldn't win, he could still escape unscathed.
Seeing that persuasion to make everyone leave was futile, the Lord of the Charnel Ground directly chose to attack!
He indeed had the capital to do so. On the Snowy Plateau, empowered by the esoteric sect, he could unleash strength at the 20,000-point level!
Seeing the Lord of the Charnel Ground about to strike, the expressions of the other few also turned serious.
Even that proud, tall superhuman raised his hands.
A massive single-handed shield and a black knight's longsword appeared in his grasp.
The tall superhuman struck his shield with the sword, laughing heartily. "Come on, come on! Let me see just how powerful the esoteric sect's Lord of the Charnel Ground really is!"
As expected, the Lord of the Charnel Ground chose to attack the tall superhuman first.
His body was enveloped in superhuman energy so dense it was almost tangible, like a true Buddha or deity. His opening move was a palm strike carrying terrifying power, blasting toward the tall superhuman!
In an instant, this valley of only a thousand square meters was bathed in brilliant golden light, as if a golden ocean had been struck by a tsunami!
The tall superhuman laughed loudly. Facing the Lord of the Charnel Ground's attack, which carried power as vast as an ocean, he raised his left arm, bracing that single-handed shield.
The golden torrent surged forth violently, yet the moment it met the shield, it was diverted.
However, the fierce impact still forced the tall superhuman's feet to slide back slightly.
The Lord of the Charnel Ground leaped forward, his eyes filled with compassion. He held the heart of a Bodhisattva but wielded the means of thunder!
Most terrifyingly, his attack wasn't solely aimed at the tall superhuman, but simultaneously targeted Zhang Yi and the golden-armored superhuman!
A palm as gentle as jade extended. A colossal Buddha's hand descended from the sky, seeking to envelop all three within it.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth.
Even with strength at the 20,000-point level, for the Lord of the Charnel Ground to take on three opponents at once was underestimating them far too much.
Zhang Yi wasn't sure about the others, but the tall superhuman's strength was definitely not below 16,000 points.
However, at this moment, Zhang Yi still didn't want to reveal his identity.
He drew a long sword forged from Adamantine Metal. Black Void Power ignited around his body with a "Whoosh!" sound, making him appear like a dark knight emerging from hell.
Zhang Yi swung his blade, cleaving fiercely into the golden wave before him.
On the other side, the golden-armored superhuman also raised his golden holy sword to meet the enemy.
Under the combined assault of the three, the Lord of the Charnel Ground's Buddha's hand actually cracked with a "Crack!" sound.
The Lord of the Charnel Ground's expression shifted slightly. He hadn't expected the strength of these three to be so formidable.
Seeing this, the golden-winged superhuman not far away hesitated briefly, but still stepped to stand beside the Lord of the Charnel Ground.
The golden wings pointed toward the high sky, fully spreading out to a wingspan of over ten meters!
With a "Puff!" sound, countless golden feathers shot toward the tall superhuman on the far left like sharp swords.
