Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1410: Swamp of Time

Zhang Yi and Hua Hua's coordinated assault put immense pressure on the Lord of the Charnel Ground.

His Buddha Heart was already shattered, leaving him unable to calm his mind for battle, and Zhang Yi kept disrupting his mental state with words, making it even harder for him to concentrate.

Soon, he found himself on the losing end of the fight against Zhang Yi and Hua Hua.

This feeling sent a chill down his spine.

"No, no, no, no, no!"

"This feeling is too strange. Why do they feel stronger than before?"

"Forget about Chaos, but even this cat with a claimed superhuman ability index of only 13,000 is this powerful?"

Inside the Holy Spirit Hall's room, three figures had become blurs, too fast for the naked eye to catch.

Zhang Yi and Hua Hua surrounded the Lord of the Charnel Ground like two cyclones, launching relentless attacks. This finally made him sense something off.

And Zhang Yi's attacks were even fiercer than before!

"Finally figured it out?"

Seeing the Lord of the Charnel Ground's expression, Zhang Yi knew he'd discovered the problem.

Zhang Yi smiled faintly. He had no interest in telling the Lord of the Charnel Ground the truth.

Only characters in animation would be foolish enough to reveal their abilities to their opponents. He wouldn't.

Just moments ago, Zhang Yi had activated his power.

After his superhuman ability index reached 18,000 points, the time power in his left eye had also improved.

A subtle enhancement, seemingly insignificant, but Zhang Yi had developed it into an incredibly powerful ability.

[Swamp of Time].

He could affect the flow of time within a 1,000-meter radius around him.

It didn't speed himself up, but instead, slowed down the perception of time for a designated target.

This didn't affect the physical world, only acted on the specific target.

This ability could reduce the target's reaction speed by 30%.

On the surface, this seemed similar to Zhang Yi's spatial acceleration, but in reality, it was far superior!

Because spatial acceleration only made Zhang Yi himself faster.

But [Swamp of Time] slowed down the designated target.

In other words, as long as they were within range, aside from the Lord of the Charnel Ground's slower reaction, everyone else's speed remained unchanged, which meant a relative acceleration.

That was why his and Hua Hua's attack speed was effectively 30% faster relative to the Lord of the Charnel Ground!

The more people there were, the greater the impact of this ability.

Even though the Lord of the Charnel Ground realized something was wrong, he was already mentally shattered, and his movements had become unstable.

Soon, he was sent flying backward by Zhang Yi and Hua Hua's combined assault, his body covered in blood.

Even the Indestructible Golden Body, without the Sangha Monastery's mental power blessing, couldn't truly be indestructible.

"Cough, cough..."

The Lord of the Charnel Ground staggered, his footsteps leaving bloody tracks. He coughed up mouthfuls of blood. On his back were terrifying claw marks left by Hua Hua, while bullet holes scarred his chest.

With his Buddha Heart shattered, the Lord of the Charnel Ground was like a stray dog. Though rage might drive him mad, he was actually exceptionally weak.

He had already lost. Even against Zhang Yi alone, he had no absolute certainty of victory, let alone facing Zhang Yi and Hua Hua two-on-one.

Zhang Yi looked at him with a calm gaze, making no further move to attack.

He simply said, "You've lost, Jue Guo."

This time, Zhang Yi didn't call him the Lord of the Charnel Ground, but directly spoke his name.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground raised his head, looking at Zhang Yi with a complex expression.

When a person suffers too many heavy blows in a short time, they temporarily lose their emotions as a form of self-protection.

He stared blankly at Zhang Yi, saying nothing. Perhaps he didn't even know what he was doing here.

Why was he fighting?

And why had he lost?

"I hope this failure teaches you a lesson. Sometimes, don't be too arrogant. Don't think that the Lord of the Charnel Ground of the esoteric sect is invincible in the world."

"Learn to respect your opponents, that's also respecting yourself."

Zhang Yi carefully stepped back, raised his hand, and collected the scattered Nasha royal family treasures in the room, including the Divine Source.

Then, Zhang Yi and Hua Hua left the room.

He didn't kill the Lord of the Charnel Ground.

Not because he didn't want to, but because killing the Lord of the Charnel Ground would cost too much.

A powerhouse with a superhuman ability index of 20,000, if not for his shattered heart, Zhang Yi wouldn't have been able to defeat him so easily.

But to take his life, the Lord of the Charnel Ground, driven by survival instinct, would unleash power that Zhang Yi had no desire to face.

Besides, he had other plans, and there were still Nasha's powerhouses to deal with later.

After entering the next room, Zhang Yi stretched out his right hand and yanked hard at the shadows on the wall.

A person in black robes stepped out from the shadows.

The leader of the resistance army, the Snow Mountain Divine Eagle, Luozhuo.

Zhang Yi glanced at him. "The rest is up to you. But can you beat him?"

Since Zhang Yi entered the Great Snow Mountain, Luozhuo had been hiding in Mu Yan's Shadow Space.

He had made a pact with Zhang Yi to deal with the Lord of the Charnel Ground and the Sangha Monastery together.

Back then, he had told Zhang Yi a secret about him and the Lord of the Charnel Ground.

They were identical twins.

When the Lord of the Charnel Ground had awakened his instinct as a celestial bard, no one knew that Luozhuo also possessed the same ability.

But back then, the mother of the two herdsmen didn't want to lose both of her children at once, so she only let them take away the elder son, Jue Guo.

Luozhuo had originally planned to bury this matter for the rest of his life.

He didn't want to replace Jue Guo's position and become a puppet-like Lord of the Charnel Ground.

Until the apocalypse came.

It made him realize he could no longer hide.

He couldn't bear to watch the naive Jue Guo, together with the great chieftain families of the West, enslave the people of the Snowy Plateau.

Luozhuo looked at Zhang Yi and nodded.

"His heart is in chaos, but my faith remains steadfast."

"So I will surely win in the end!"

Zhang Yi shrugged. "I've done everything I promised. It's all yours to handle now."

"I hope when we meet again, you'll have seized his Divine Entity."

Zhang Yi patted Luozhuo's shoulder and then strode away.

What followed was a matter between the two brothers, and Zhang Yi wouldn't interfere.

...

After Zhang Yi left, the Lord of the Charnel Ground stayed where he was. The room was now empty, leaving only vast stretches of white, pure as heaven, hollow as Jue Guo's heart.

In this battle, he had lost everything he treasured.

His Buddha Heart, his prideful power, his beloved woman.

And, his dignity.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground suddenly felt a pain in his chest, so sharp he could barely breathe.

He lowered his head and saw a black hole opening in his chest, right where his heart was.

From within, black liquid gushed out, flowing down to his feet, gradually forming a vast abyss that swallowed him whole.
