Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1403: Collection Pieces

The massive Holy Spirit Hall was so vast that even the giants of the Tri-Eyed Clan could easily get lost inside, let alone tiny humans barely over a meter tall. So for Zhang Yi at this moment, this place was nothing short of an enormous maze.

He and everyone else were searching for the right path, as well as their companions.

Yang Xinxin said to Zhang Yi, "Judging by the maze, when we have no information at all, we should just keep moving in one direction. That way, sooner or later, we'll find the exit."

"Alright, let's do what you say."

At this point, Zhang Yi had become a headless fly with no better options, so he followed Yang Xinxin's advice and flew forward.

Fortunately, within the area, spatial traversal could still be used, though he could no longer pass through walls made of this special material.

Soon, he reached the end of this vast space—before a magnificent white door.

Relying solely on his own strength, Zhang Yi found it extremely difficult to open this door.

Just then, Hua Hua let out a loud roar, transforming into her massive [Beast] form. Biting the door ring, she helped Zhang Yi, and together, they pulled the grand door open from left and right.

Zhang Yi led Hua Hua and headed straight toward the next door.

Before long, they had passed through five rooms.

It was then that he slowly began to sense the environment of the palace.

Some rooms were empty, likely just corridors, while others contained massive tables and tall decorative items along the walls.

But suddenly, a strange wave of energy erupted from some point within the Holy Spirit Hall, spreading throughout the entire building.

Zhang Yi, the Lord of the Charnel Ground, Lancelot, and even Gao Changkong's team members—all searching for a way out—sensed this intense fluctuation at the same time.

No superhuman could resist this power; it was like an attraction emanating from the depths of the soul, luring them to come closer and obtain that thing.

Divine Source.

Zhang Yi was all too familiar with this aura.

Within the Holy Spirit Hall, the aura of Divine Source had actually appeared!

Zhang Yi instantly narrowed his eyes.

"Is the treasure in the Holy Spirit Hall this?"

"No, it can't be that simple!"

Compared to the sacrificial spirit, Divine Source was merely an inferior product with a [key function], something that became clear after touching both substances.

Back in the Demon Kingdom, they had found Divine Source in the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

But the royal palace of the great Nasha Kingdom could not possibly treasure such an item.

So why had its aura suddenly appeared?

Zhang Yi muttered to himself, "Could it be that someone else found the Divine Source and opened the vault sealing it, causing the aura to leak out?"

This possibility was very high.

After all, wasn't everyone here to seize treasure?

If everyone had been scattered across different parts of the Holy Spirit Hall, it was natural that some lucky ones might end up near the treasure vault.

Yang Xinxin, however, offered a different perspective.

"This is very strange. Divine Source is a rare treasure, and when that person scattered us, they would have been careful to avoid the area where the Divine Source was stored. In fact, I'd say they wouldn't have given us any chance to come into contact with it at all."

"Even if someone did discover it, they would have sealed its aura immediately, not released it so ostentatiously."

Zhang Yi also found this suspicious.

He asked, "Xinxin, what do you think?"

Xinxin said, "It could be a trap! Intentionally luring you all over there."

Having said that, she muttered to herself again, "This is very strange. Clearly, it was that Guardian who deliberately separated everyone in the first place. This logic is obviously contradictory."

"Unless..."

Zhang Yi asked curiously, "Unless what?"

Yang Xinxin said, "Unless their purpose is to waste your time, or even to make you fight among yourselves."

Zhang Yi furrowed his brow.

"I can't get any information about the Holy Spirit Hall right now. I have to act based on the limited information I have."

"No matter what the other party's motive is, let's first go check the direction from which the Divine Source's aura is coming."

Even if there was real danger, his abilities could still keep him alive.

Besides, since he had decided to come underground, he couldn't do everything without any risk.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xinxin agreed with Zhang Yi.

"That's fine. If we can sense the aura of the Divine Source, so can the others."

"Then we can use this as a focal point to gather everyone."

Zhang Yi and Hua Hua had already set off toward the source of the energy fluctuation.

After passing through a few more rooms, they suddenly saw a door that had already been opened by a crack.

Zhang Yi's gaze immediately sharpened.

"It looks like someone beat us here."

He and Hua Hua stopped outside the door.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, activating his body to a state of readiness, prepared to strike at any moment.

Then, with a gun in his left hand and a blade in his right, and the massive Hua Hua following behind, he stepped into the room one step at a time.

Once inside, he indeed spotted a familiar figure.

A monk with flowing crimson Dharma robes, long hair cascading down, walking barefoot on the jade-smooth, white-glowing floor—who else could it be but the Lord of the Charnel Ground?

Seeing it was him, Zhang Yi halted in place, not rushing forward.

In this place, encountering the Lord of the Charnel Ground was undoubtedly the most dangerous.

Not only did the Lord of the Charnel Ground possess a Black Chariot-level combat power of 20,000 points, but more importantly, he could receive the faith energy of the esoteric sect from the Sangha Monastery on the surface.

Fighting him, unless one could kill him instantly, the faith energy would continuously bolster his body, keeping him in a state of near-immortality.

Facing such an opponent, it was truly difficult to treat them as an enemy.

Meanwhile, ahead of the Lord of the Charnel Ground, Deji and the other monks of Sangha Monastery were gathered around a raised platform, staring in a daze, their eyes full of infatuation.

On that platform sat a transparent crystal box. Inside it was a yellow crystal, emitting a soft and intoxicating glow.

Zhang Yi recognized this item all too well—it was Divine Source.

"Did the people of Nasha really place something so important here?"

Zhang Yi was a bit puzzled.

He looked around. Besides the platform holding the Divine Source, there were several other identical platforms, each displaying various objects.

There were strange biological fossils, and some ancient weapons and armor.

This place turned out to be a display room, filled with the royal family's collection pieces.

Zhang Yi suddenly realized.

"Divine Source... is just a collection piece to them?"

This discovery left Zhang Yi utterly stunned.

Didn't the Tri-Eyed Clan know that this thing could shape an Epsilon-level powerhouse?
