Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1408: The Fallen Buddha

The Lord of the Charnel Ground's Dharma robes had no self-repairing ability. In his despair, when he stopped resisting, his clothes had all been blasted apart by Zhang Yi.

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but let out a “snicker.”

The Lord of the Charnel Ground snapped back to reality, looking down at his naked body, especially that particular part. A surge of indescribable feelings welled up inside him.

After shame reached its extreme, only numbness remained.

But Liu Ruyan followed up with another remark: “Really showing off your shortcomings there, huh? Better cover that little thing up!”

More blood spurted from the Lord of the Charnel Ground's mouth.

He let out a frenzied roar, then shot off into the distance, tearing a robe off a monk to haphazardly cover his naked body.

“Chaos, I will make you pay for humiliating me today!”

Zhang Yi said coolly, “You’re so childish. No wonder Ruyan didn’t choose you!”

“You… you despicable scum!”

“Liu Ruyan doesn’t love you.”

“Dare you let her go and face me in a life-or-death duel?”

“Liu Ruyan doesn’t love you.”

“Enough! Can you not bring her up every single sentence?!”

“You got played by a prostitute.”

“...”

“And I’m the one who sent her to you!”

“Did you really think she liked you that much?”

“By the way, before you, do you have any idea how many men she’s had?”

The Lord of the Charnel Ground’s heart was crumbling more and more. His body swayed, barely able to stand.

This wasn’t a physical problem—it was the manifestation of a heavy blow to his psyche.

All his life, though trapped by the esoteric sect, he had walked a smooth path.

As the spiritual leader of the esoteric sect, no one had ever humiliated him like this before.

So today, the greatest humiliation of his life struck him, and he couldn’t accept it all at once.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground closed his eyes in agony. When he opened them again, Zhang Yi saw in them a purity of killing intent he had never witnessed before!

He understood—the Lord of the Charnel Ground was going to kill him.

Only by killing him could he ensure that no one ever knew about Liu Ruyan.

And possibly, everyone present today would be slaughtered by the Lord of the Charnel Ground as well!

“You want to kill me?”

A cold smirk curled at the corner of Zhang Yi’s mouth. “Do you think you can?”

Even if the Lord of the Charnel Ground were at his peak, he couldn’t break through Zhang Yi’s defenses, let alone in his current deranged state.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground raised both hands, gazing toward the heavens as if in prayer.

In the next instant, a thread of golden light fell from the distant sky, descending upon him.

It was the faith power of Sangha Monastery. He bathed in the golden radiance, and the wounds on his body began to heal rapidly.

But this time, the power of faith seemed somewhat weaker, gradually fading to the point of being almost imperceptible.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground’s pupils contracted sharply. “This… how can this be?”

Zhang Yi was overjoyed inside.

“It worked! My plan succeeded!”

A Lord of the Charnel Ground whose heart was utterly consumed by lust, murderous intent, hatred, and other emotions was no longer fit to be the leader of the esoteric sect.

Because he had subverted the sect’s faith, he naturally lost the blessing of Sangha Monastery.

Zhang Yi’s attacks continued to rain down on the Lord of the Charnel Ground. Snapping back to reality, the Lord gritted his teeth, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll kill you first, then annihilate the clans beneath the Demon Abyss. I will regain the esoteric sect’s blessing!”

At this moment, golden light swirled around the Lord of the Charnel Ground, but his brows were knit in fury, and killing aura filled the air.

What kind of Buddha did he seem like now? He was a mad demon!

“Six Senses Dharma Gate!”

He raised his right hand before his chest, speaking slowly.

In the next instant, a surging, overwhelming power erupted from within his body like a raging tsunami!

Regardless, he was still a Black Chariot-level superhuman.

Though he had lost his Buddha nature and turned into a demon, his combat prowess remained formidable!

Zhang Yi squinted his eyes, knowing that the real trouble was coming.

The only silver lining was that without the blessing of the esoteric sect’s power, he was no longer immortal and invincible.

“Swish!”

Golden light blazed, instantly closing in on Zhang Yi.

Facing the Dimensional Gates arrayed around Zhang Yi like a polyhedron blocking all six directions, the Lord threw a heavy punch, filled with his pure, murderous intent!

Zhang Yi had no choice but to withdraw Liu Ruyan into the Shadow Space.

Though Liu Ruyan could influence the Lord of the Charnel Ground, her presence also prevented him from fighting with his full focus.

“BOOM!!!!”

The immense force plunged into the Alternate Dimensional Space.

The small world constructed by a superhuman’s ability had very fragile spatial barriers.

With that punch, the Lord of the Charnel Ground’s powerful energy instantly flooded the entire space.

“Crack!”

One of Zhang Yi’s Dimensional Gates actually began to fracture.

Though it was just one of three thousand Dimensional Gates, its cracking demonstrated the terrifying power of the Lord of the Charnel Ground’s attack!

Zhang Yi frowned and swiftly soared into the air.

He hovered midair, holding the White Owl pistols in both hands, aiming at the Lord of the Charnel Ground.

“Stellar Descent!”

Both guns fired simultaneously. Countless Void Bullets descended upon the earth like a cascade of stars, completely sealing off all of the Lord of the Charnel Ground’s escape routes.

The Lord looked up at the sky and raised his fist. He threw punch after simple, unadorned punch toward the heavens.

The void power was neutralized by the golden force.

In a pure contest of strength, the Lord of the Charnel Ground still held a considerable advantage—after all, a 2000-point superhuman ability index lead was no small matter.

Zhang Yi calmly reloaded.

This time, the Lord of the Charnel Ground once again chose to meet the bullets with his fists.

But he didn’t expect that when the bullets struck his fists, a violent explosion immediately occurred!

Nuclear Bullets! The transuranic elements within them could unleash the power of 7 tons of TNT!

Caught off guard, the Lord of the Charnel Ground was sent flying backward.

But the worst off were Deji, Chodak, and the others still inside the hall.

Though the hall stretched for thousands of meters, they were still battered by the storm of the two combatants, smashing heavily into the walls.

Several low-level superhumans spewed mouthfuls of blood from their mouths. Even a mere glancing blow from the aftershocks of the battle killed them instantly.

“No, this fight is way beyond our reach. Get out of here, or we won’t survive!”

Though Chodak wasn’t afraid to die in battle, dying a meaningless death like this was not what he wanted.

For now, they abandoned any thought of seizing the Divine Source. They frantically pushed open the massive door at the end of the hall and fled the place.

Deji watched the Lord of the Charnel Ground in his demonic state, then looked at the Divine Source resting on the display platform. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but seeing Chodak and the others already gone, he deliberated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and chose to flee first.

At this moment, the Lord of the Charnel Ground would show no regard for anyone. If Deji tried to stop him, he would likely be casually erased.

In this hall, only Zhang Yi and the Lord of the Charnel Ground remained.

The hall was constructed from special Barrier Stone, capable of withstanding their immense power without being destroyed.
