Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1516: Three Pillars

Inside Tenshu Palace.

Daytime. The indoor lighting was dim, as the shrine still preserved the tradition of keeping candle stands lit to this day.

The Ultimate Evil Boy sat crouched on the ground barefoot, his large eyes—with far more white than pupil—glued to a book as he read it with obsessive fascination.

It was an ancient text, written in traditional Chinese characters, bound in thread-stitched form.

The words "Philosophy of the Mind" could be seen on its cover.

He bit his finger, his big eyes rolling rapidly from one line to the next.

"How incredible! Did such powerful Transcendents exist in ancient Huaxu Nation?"

"This guy was far too gifted!"

"So this is how supernatural powers can be understood."

The Philosophy of the Mind gave him inspiration to grow stronger, making him understand exactly how a Transcendent should obtain power.

How to continuously become more powerful.

Just then, in the corner of the shrine, space warped in a bizarre distortion.

Three figures cloaked in black robes appeared there.

"Hm? What are you doing here?"

The Ultimate Evil Boy turned his head and asked the three shadows flatly.

One shadow spoke: "An enemy is coming. Be careful."

Another shadow said: "Edo is our foundation. Protect it. Don't let anyone destroy it!"

The third shadow added: "Right now, we can't intervene. That guy seems to have already sensed us."

Hearing this, the expression on the Ultimate Evil Boy's face quickly turned delighted.

"That's wonderful! I haven't met a worthy opponent in a long time!"

He bit down hard on his slender finger, producing a crunching sound, as if he intended to bite it clean off and swallow it.

"Chaos from Huaxu Nation, right? Interesting!"

Saying this, he pulled a smart device from the messy pile of books beside him and opened a file inside.

A blue projection was cast into the air, and Zhang Yi's face appeared vividly before him.

"Chaos, a space-ability user, codename [Absolute Defense]. Specializes in spatial defense, countering Transcendents who rely on physical attacks. And his escape ability is extremely strong!"

The smile on the Ultimate Evil Boy's lips grew even wider.

"Great at defense and escape? Haha, how delightfully fun!"

He turned his head to look at the three shadows. "Hey, is there a way to keep him from escaping Edo?"

One shadow said, "That's easy. The way to deal with a space-ability Transcendent is to seal off the space."

The second shadow said, "We'll trap him in Edo. Then we'll hunt him down."

The third shadow added, "This is your home turf. You're immortal and indestructible. There's plenty of time. Slaughter him to your heart's content!"

The Ultimate Evil Boy lifted his chin. "Alright then. Let's quietly wait for the hunter to take the bait!"

...

Zhang Yi led the group past Edo City and arrived before the massive Undying Mountain.

The towering peak was an active volcano, now dyed a pure white under the extreme cold.

Gazing into the distance at the mountain, Zhang Yi said to Deng Shentong and the others beside him, "Let's begin the operation!"

Deng Shentong and Liang Yue nodded, then without hesitation, they sprinted off in opposite directions.

As the highest combat power, Zhang Yi's actions would inevitably draw the enemy's attention, so he couldn't hide his movements.

Thus, in this battle, he would act as the main attacker openly and honestly, facing off against the strongest Transcendent of the Demon-Sealing Court.

Meanwhile, Deng Shentong and the others would handle the small fry and seize the opportunity to charge up Undying Mountain to snatch the target item.

Only Mu Yan, Yang Xinxin, and Huahua remained by Zhang Yi's side.

After Liang Yue and the others left, Zhang Yi stood several kilometers away from Undying Mountain, raising his right hand toward the active volcano.

Such a blatant appearance had already caught the attention of the Demon-Sealing Court's Transcendents.

Dozens of Demon-Sealing Court Transcendents flashed into view.

"Who are you? How dare you come here—are you looking for death?"

Zhang Yi didn't even spare them a glance.

Huahua's body suddenly swelled, transforming into a massive mutant beast tens of meters long.

Her black fur stood on end, turning into sharp spikes that, in an instant, rained down like a storm upon those Demon-Sealing Court Transcendents!

Those Transcendents had no time to dodge. Even if some quickly used their abilities to defend, such actions were utterly meaningless in the face of an absolute gap in power.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

The moment they landed, they were pierced through by Huahua's spikes! Their deaths were gruesome.

Inside Tenshu Palace, the Ultimate Evil Boy's eyes snapped open as he stared into the distance.

"He's here! Heh heh!"

Zhang Yi's right hand gently clenched in the air, and in the next instant, the sky above Undying Mountain went dark.

A pitch-black vortex slowly appeared, then expanded at a terrifying speed, eventually forming a dark chasm large enough to engulf the entire mountain!

"Descend, dark stars!"

The power of the void emerged from the black hole, materializing into dark, shimmering stars that plummeted directly downward!

Inside Tenshu Palace, the three senior officers saw this and their faces turned grim.

"Such terrifying power... just how strong is that guy?"

Narumi Soji murmured.

"What's there to be so worked up about?"

The Ultimate Evil Boy wore a calm smile on his face.

"Whether he can even see me depends on whether he can get past that first gate!"

He raised a slender finger, pointing down the mountain toward Tenshu Palace's main gate hall.

The dark stars fell toward Undying Mountain, and soon the Transcendents on the mountain struggled desperately to resist the invasion of this power.

Various barriers began to appear, and even defensive-type Transcendents joined forces, using their supernatural powers to erect a massive wall.

Yet as the dark stars descended, everything dissolved. A large number of Demon-Sealing Court Transcendents didn't even have time to scream before they were liquefied.

Just as the void's power was about to swallow Tenshu Palace, a figure cloaked in black robes appeared on the palace roof.

His hands hovered above and below, and twisted dark light flashed as a black bronze mirror materialized.

Mirror light radiated outward from him, shielding the area around Tenshu Palace.

And unnoticed by Zhang Yi, from the eastern district of Edo City—the site of the old Sensoji Temple—an invisible barrier rose up, slowly veiling the sky over Edo.

Zhang Yi looked back at the massive beast behind him and smiled. "Huahua, force them to show themselves!"

"ROAR—"

Huahua raised her head toward Undying Mountain in the distance, opened her bloody maw, and a terrifying crimson energy began to condense.

"BOOM!"

A colossal beam of supernatural power blasted out in an instant, hurtling straight toward Tenshu Palace on Undying Mountain!
