Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1400: The Spiral Corridor

Absorbing Samba Miu's origin was quick.

Through energy transfer, the origin moved into his body, rapidly restoring the power Zhang Yi had lost.

However, fully absorbing this power to enhance his own strength would take considerable time—under normal circumstances, at least ten days to half a month.

This feeling was quite peculiar.

What exactly a superhuman's origin was, Zhang Yi still couldn't clearly explain.

Part of it was pure energy, but the rest was definitely not something so simple.

It was somewhat similar to the Divine Source or the sacrificial spirit—a kind of genetic key.

Its main function was to unlock the genetic locks within humans, granting them greater power.

So much so that Zhang Yi had begun to suspect that superhuman origins might be the same substance as the Divine Source and the sacrificial spirit.

Zhang Yi started thinking about his next move.

Should he head to the Holy Spirit Hall?

He shook his head. That plan didn't seem very wise now.

If the Holy Spirit Hall truly represented Nasha's highest seat of power, its defenses would be extremely formidable.

Going alone would be stupid—Zhang Yi wasn't about to do something that reckless.

After mulling it over, he decided not to keep all the spoils to himself. At the very least, he needed to drag others along.

So, he began a long wait.

He would wait for the battles on the other fronts to end, then go discuss with the others.

After him, the first to finish their fight were the Lord of the Charnel Ground and Lie.

By the time Zhang Yi arrived there, the Lord of the Charnel Ground was already leading Deji and a group of Sangha Monastery's Dharma-protecting Vajras, preparing to head to the Spiral Corridor and storm the Holy Spirit Hall.

Seeing Zhang Yi, the Lord of the Charnel Ground gave a slight nod in greeting.

"Benefactor Chaos, it seems your issue has already been resolved, correct?"

Zhang Yi looked at the Lord of the Charnel Ground curiously. He still had that calm demeanor, so calm that it was hard to tell he had just been through a fierce battle.

"Aren't you the same?" Zhang Yi said.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground smiled without speaking.

He had indeed resolved things quickly, but unlike Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi had killed Samba Miu, while he had only temporarily sealed Lie away.

The seal could last a short or long time, entirely depending on whether Lie could break free from the illusion on his own.

It was also possible that he would be trapped by the illusion for his entire life, unable to escape.

"Lord of the Charnel Ground, now that we've come this far, there are some things we should discuss openly."

Zhang Yi got straight to the point with the Lord of the Charnel Ground. "How much do you really know about this place? We were brought here by you, so at the very least, sharing intelligence with me shouldn't be too much to ask."

The Holy Spirit Hall was too mysterious. Zhang Yi didn't dare take risks lightly, and he hoped the Lord of the Charnel Ground could provide some information.

To his surprise, the Lord of the Charnel Ground and Deji both shook their heads.

"We only knew of this place from ancient Buddhist scriptures. In time immemorial, even the legendary King Gesar never truly entered the depths beneath the Demon Abyss."

"Back then, they only fought their way to the Demon Kingdom, discovered this Demon Abyss, and then retreated because they couldn't adapt to the underground environment."

"As for me, I am merely following the guidance of the sages, coming here to cleanse the demonic forces."

The Lord of the Charnel Ground spoke with sincerity.

Zhang Yi frowned, pondering what he had seen since arriving.

Here, humans were treated like livestock, and they seemed completely ignorant of the outside world's humans.

It seemed the Lord of the Charnel Ground was telling the truth.

Nasha had existed for far too long—likely even longer than human civilization.

"So, what are you planning next? Are you going to storm the Holy Spirit Hall directly?"

Zhang Yi pointed upward at the massive heavenly palace above.

Connecting the heavenly palace to this place was a long, narrow Spiral Corridor.

It looked somewhat slender, like a palace propped up in the air by chopsticks, as if the slightest touch would cause it to collapse.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground pressed his palms together, his face filled with an immensely sacred and solemn expression.

"The Buddha guides us here. As the Dharma-protecting deity of the esoteric sect, I must completely eradicate this demonic land! We have no other choice."

"Even if it costs all our lives, this kingdom must be wiped from existence!"

Zhang Yi crossed his arms and nodded.

Indeed, given the Tri-Eyed Clan's cannibalistic nature, they were truly humanity's natural enemy.

If they weren't eliminated, perhaps one day humans would be eliminated by them.

"Alright, since the Lord of the Charnel Ground says so, I will fully support you!"

Zhang Yi said with a sincere expression. "I'll go contact the other teams, and then we'll storm the Holy Spirit Hall together!"

Originally, Zhang Yi had planned to call everyone together.

But seeing these monks look like they were heading off to die, he immediately changed his mind.

After all, they had their faith and weren't as calculating.

Better to let them be the vanguard and test how strong the Holy Spirit Hall's defenses were.

Just as Zhang Yi was about to leave, Deji suddenly raised his hand and said, "Sir Chaos, please wait! The demon palace is bound to be dangerous. We should go together, so we can look out for each other, don't you think?"

Zhang Yi's mouth twitched. He thought to himself: I forgot about this old fox.

"I have to go find them."

Deji whispered something to the Lord of the Charnel Ground, then walked over to Zhang Yi and pressed his palms together.

"Amitabha. We will wait for everyone at the entrance of the Spiral Corridor. We'll proceed together once everyone has gathered."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything useful out of them, Zhang Yi nodded.

"Fine. Go wait for me there."

He was the only one who could contact the others.

Among this group, besides him, no one else could traverse the entire Nasha territory in under a minute.

The giants' kingdom was enormous—even superhumans would take a long time to travel across it. Their communication devices also only supported short-range contact.

For Zhang Yi, these issues were no problem at all.

Soon, he arrived at the Knights of the Round Table's area.

Through the communication device, he quickly locked onto their signal.

Zhang Yi relayed the Sangha Monastery monks' message to Lancelot.

Lancelot agreed without hesitation.

There was no suspense—why had they come all this way?

Wasn't it for the so-called treasures of the underground world?

Their current gains were too small to satisfy their appetites.

So, the Holy Spirit Hall was a must!

Zhang Yi used the same method to contact Gao Changkong's people.

But the one he communicated with wasn't Gao Changkong himself—it was his girlfriend, Gu Man.

Gao Changkong was still healing his injuries and was wary of Zhang Yi.

Still, after Gu Man relayed Zhang Yi's message, Gao Changkong agreed to gather near the Spiral Corridor later.

This journey to the Demon Abyss had finally reached its destination.
