Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1073 - 426: The Mighty Master of Fog City (Part 2)

Indeed, once they hurried past the first tight corridor, the blood vessel route in front didn't keep narrowing, and the nearby ice walls stopped pressing closer.

The Earth Mother Sect folks breathed a sigh of relief and sped up their flight.

At the same time, inside the heart room, Chang Yuntao observed the unfolding events, his face dark and stormy: "Hmph, even if you've started refining the Heart Core, you're all doomed to perish anyway!"

His body blurred, abandoning a vast cloud of frosty vapor in the emptiness, and he vanished completely.

Yet right as he prepared to follow them at the start of the blood vessel route, he halted abruptly, like some realization had hit him.

He cast a look back at the bodies scattered across the heart room floor, then issued a chilling chuckle and gripped his fist in the air.

Right away, the whole heart room echoed with a thunderous boom, and every blood vessel route got instantly blocked, transforming the entire heart room into a sealed chamber!

Having done that, Chang Yuntao still wasn't satisfied, so he slammed his palm onto the heart room floor.

In a flash, huge chunks of ice sprang up fast at the openings of the various routes, encasing the blood vessel path entrances in frost.

These weren't regular ice masses; they were formed from his superpower, infused with a brutally low chill!

Whoever tried forcing through those ice barriers would end up as frozen statues!

With everything set, he finally spun around to face the endless blood vessel routes, shutting his eyes for a quick probe before releasing another icy sneer.

"In here, I'm the absolute ruler!"

Swish!

His form morphed into a swirling fog of ice, darting off in an instant along one of the blood vessel routes!

Within the iced-over heart room, the cold gnawed fiercely, as though all things had become frozen figures.

Even the flow of time appeared halted here.

The bodies on the floor had solidified into ice statues, utterly still.

The freezing cold in this spot was beyond what typical superpower wielders could endure.

All of a sudden, the fragments of the ice peak started shaking wildly.

The following instant brought a massive crash.

The whole ice peak burst apart with a deafening shatter.

A silhouette appeared, hoisting a colossal ice chunk many hundreds of times its volume, flinging it aside with mighty force.

Boom!

Without delay, the ice mass soared away, exploding into shards far off.

The silhouette drew in a sharp breath, feeling the sharp cold all around, the overwhelming frost.

He promptly channeled his internal energy, his genetics shifting, swiftly dropping his body heat to match the harsh icy surroundings.

Liang Yuan scanned the area, spotting the remains of miners, Earth Mother Sect members, and Ice Armor Warriors, all met with gruesome ends.

He felt a surge of shock: "What a figure from Fog City, this Chang Yuntao—after refining the Brain Core and Heart Core of this Floating Island Giant Corpse, he's reached such a frightful level!"

Liang Yuan thought back to the foe's use of Ice Attribute Superpower, and a wave of dread washed over him.

The opponent's techniques went beyond mere superpower; they resembled sorcery straight out of films.

With a simple motion, he could reshape the landscape and summon an ice peak to crush enemies.

Compared to Chang Yuntao, Zhao Kai's Ice Attribute Superpower looked like mere games for kids.

Zhao Kai came across as a fighter, proficient in certain ice-based physical strikes.

Still mired in combat styles centered on specific techniques.

Turning to Chang Yuntao, his Ice Attribute Superpower felt like true sorcery, each action packing enormous ruinous might.

Even the chilling impacts differed vastly.

"Did the advance in Genetic Species grant him this immense power, or was it fusing the Brain Core and Heart Core, gaining boons from the Floating Island Giant Corpse?"

Liang Yuan mused, concluding that superpower alone probably couldn't form such a gigantic ice peak.

"This guy's already refined the Heart Core; lingering here just paints me as easy prey."

"I need to get out fast while he's after the Earth Mother Sect powerhouses."

With that in mind, Liang Yuan quickly surveyed his surroundings.

Seeing the scene, his face fell at once, for all blood vessel routes had vanished, swapped by walls of ice peaks everywhere.

These ice barriers obstructed every possible escape!

"Why would Chang Yuntao lock this area down?"

"Is there some treasure hidden here?"

Liang Yuan's thoughts whirled, soon grasping the truth, and he whirled about, dashing to the ice peak he'd just shoved aside using Muscle Burst.

It brimmed with endless crimson-tinged ice pieces!

"Blood Ice!"

Liang Yuan's mind snapped into place, grasping Chang Yuntao's aim.

The foe had sealed the blood vessel routes to stop any survivors from returning to snag the Blood Ice!

After all, these Blood Ice lumps served as origins for Genetic Species!

That insight made Liang Yuan's eyes gleam, and he hurriedly set to gathering the Blood Ice.

Thanks to his inventory space, storage posed no issue.

In under two minutes, every bit of Blood Ice there was stowed away.

Just as Liang Yuan meant to depart, a sudden expletive reached his ears.

"Damn! Where's the way out?"

Liang Yuan froze in surprise, his body vanishing in a blur as he surfaced from under the ice cavern, peering outward.

But there in the distance stood Boss Qiu!

Hadn't the ice peak's collapse just missed squashing him?

Liang Yuan marveled inwardly. This man possessed such skills?

His eyes shifted, and he noticed Boss Qiu drawing a vivid yellow bone hammer from his chest pocket.

The hammer's head looked crafted from some fish's skull.

He gripped the bone hammer and swung it hard, smashing straight into the ice barrier!

Buzz!

As the bone hammer connected, the sound wasn't the expected crash.

Rather, the hammer head glowed bright yellow, forming a rune that pulsed with fierce vibrations.

Buzz buzz buzz...

The powerful humming filled the air, and the huge ice barrier before Boss Qiu started quaking at high speed.

In moments, the ice barrier crumbled with a roar, breaking into myriad shards!

Watching this, Liang Yuan's pupils narrowed sharply!

"Resonant Hammer?"

His immediate thought was of Tang Ying!

Yang Shenmin's nurse aide, a medical school graduate.

The power she gained on Turtle Island was high-frequency resonance.

Now Boss Qiu's bone hammer weapon duplicated that very effect!

But what intrigued him more was how Boss Qiu evaded the ice peak's crushing fall before.

He'd used Ice Armor, boosting his Power to nearly a hundred via Muscle Burst, to stay safe.

What trick had the other employed?

Intrigued, he held back from revealing himself and observed as Boss Qiu kept battering the ice to find an exit.

Meanwhile, his eyes flicked to the opening he'd entered through.

The ice block there stayed whole, neither shattered nor strengthened.

Evidently, Chang Yuntao overlooked it; he'd only sealed the blood vessel routes.

By now, Boss Qiu had broken through the ice barrier and reached the blood vessel route.

Eyeing the sealed blood vessel passage, Boss Qiu's expression grew grave.

"Damn it, Chang Yuntao really has refined the Heart Core!"

"He can control the blood vessel routes now. He's close to dominating the whole island."

"No, I have to escape this Floating Island right away."

Thinking that, Boss Qiu wasted no time and hammered at the blood vessel passage entrance.

Bang!

This strike's high-frequency resonance yielded little result.

The hammer head hit the fleshy wall at the passage mouth, making the wall quiver and echo the hammer's rapid vibes.

In such a situation, the vibrating hammer couldn't wreck it.

This was living tissue, not rigid stuff; the resonance tool couldn't harm it.

Boss Qiu grew frantic, hammering the fleshy wall over and over, yet the passage merely shook without yielding.

Witnessing this, Boss Qiu fell into hopelessness.

He moved to another blood vessel passage, wrecked the ice barrier, and pounded the fleshy wall fast.

But it proved futile; the resonance hammer failed against flexible materials.

After trying multiple passages, Boss Qiu discovered them all sealed tight, no escape in sight.

His face drained of color in utter desperation.

"No, it can't be, I won't die trapped here!"

"Chang Yuntao will come back eventually; hiding here means certain death. I can't remain!"

He grabbed a small bag and drew a bone sword from within. Activating his power, the bone sword flared with golden radiance.

He lifted the bone sword high and slashed savagely at the fleshy wall!

Bang!

The fleshy wall proved tougher than steel, utterly resistant to the bone sword!

"No! Why won't it budge!"

He kept extracting various superpower weapons from the bag, testing them one after another.

Liang Yuan watched all this, his focus locking onto the bag in the man's grip.

"That bag's just hand-sized, but it holds so much that clearly shouldn't fit!"

"Is this some kind of superpower gear too?"

Liang Yuan felt a stir of interest, mildly impressed.

Spatial superpower equipment!

Up to now, he'd come across plenty of superpower armaments, from armor and blades to support devices and more.

This marked his initial encounter with spatial superpower equipment!
