Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1538: The Correct Way to Use the Sword in the Tree

Zhang Yi, while using the giant-sized Sword in the Tree to attack the Sea of Maggots that kept charging at him, responded to Yang Xinxin's words.

"Trying to trap that guy... there's no good way to do it for now!"

Yang Xinxin said, "But if that's the case, winning against him in a short time won't be easy."

"Yeah!"

Even Zhang Yi let out a sigh.

This was indeed an extremely difficult opponent to deal with. If Zhang Yi wanted to win, the massive stockpile of supplies stored in his dimensional space could come in handy.

But if he did that, he'd have to exhaust a huge amount of his resources just to wipe out the Sea of Maggots.

That would hurt to part with, and it was incredibly inefficient.

So unless there was absolutely no other choice, he wouldn't go that route.

At this point, he had no choice but to open his dimensional space and let the maggots devour it; otherwise, he'd be completely submerged in the sea of filth.

And at his current rate of extermination, it would take who knows how long to deal with the entire Sea of Maggots.

What's more, there was the Ultimate Evil Boy lurking nearby, constantly looking for an opportunity to attack him.

His massive, hideous appearance was enough to make anyone want to vomit just by looking at it.

He was even more disgusting than flies or mosquitoes, like a grotesque monster born straight out of a pile of dung.

Yet despite all that, the current Ultimate Evil Boy had vastly improved speed, strength, and defense compared to his previous human form.

He could use the Sea of Maggots to absorb Zhang Yi's spatial energy, then launch powerful attacks against him.

"Hahaha! Chaos, come on, let me give you a proper taste of what it's like to be maggot feed!"

"The top Transcendent of the mighty Huaxu Nation, slowly chewed to death by my maggots—doesn't that sound wonderful?"

He let out a sinister laugh. His massive, needle-like proboscis aimed at Zhang Yi and fired a pitch-black energy cannon that pierced through the void!

That was Zhang Yi's Void Force.

"Crash—"

A clear sound of something shattering could be heard.

Zhang Yi's Dimensional Gate blocked the Void Force, instantly producing a massive amount of cracks.

And through those shattered gaps, the Sea of Maggots surged in at once, madly devouring his dimensional space.

Zhang Yi kept flickering, using his Spatial Shifting ability to escape higher into the air.

But the sky above Edo City had already been sealed off by those three black shadows, severely limiting his movements.

No matter where he ran, the city-wide Sea of Maggots would quickly catch up.

A sharp glint flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes.

He coldly turned his head to look at the Ultimate Evil Boy's hideous, beastly body.

"To catch the bandits, catch the ringleader first! To control the Sea of Maggots, I have to kill this bastard!"

With that, he raised his right hand horizontally, two fingers pressed together like a sword, and aimed them at the Ultimate Evil Boy.

"Sure, you can absorb energy and turn it into your own attacks. But I don't believe your tolerance has no limit!"

Terrifying Void Force condensed behind Zhang Yi into a black hole, then gathered at his fingertips.

A dark light coalesced, like a tiny sun. The black radiance devoured the surrounding light, darkening the entire sky. Edo City instantly fell into a lightless night.

The Ultimate Evil Boy also felt the power of this strike, and his gaze turned much more serious.

But he didn't dodge, because he knew he couldn't avoid this locked-on ability that could be triggered instantly within space.

So instead, he clapped his long, slender limbs together, making provocative gestures at Zhang Yi.

"Hahaha! Come on, let's see if you can kill me!"

Zhang Yi spoke softly, his voice icy cold.

"Divine Domain—Purification Calamity!"

The black light vanished from Zhang Yi's fingertip, and an instant later, it appeared at the location of the Ultimate Evil Boy.

A sound of something shattering came. The entire space twisted from the sheer force of this power.

The Ultimate Evil Boy's massive body twisted uncontrollably. His black-and-white shell shattered, fragments raining down like debris. Large chunks of flesh ruptured, and blood poured out like a spring.

"You—"

There was a hint of terror in the Ultimate Evil Boy's voice, because his body had been completely twisted, his giant mosquito-like form crushed into a ball.

But soon, he burst into even more manic laughter.

"As expected, you're the best! Thrilling, thrilling, thrilling! This is absolutely thrilling!"

After surviving the strike, the Ultimate Evil Boy began to regenerate his body.

Zhang Yi frowned. After that one blow, his supernatural powers had also experienced a temporary void.

And the Sea of Maggots had already flooded in completely, almost enveloping all the space around him, then pouring into his dimensional space like a tidal wave.

If this kept up, he would probably become fertilizer for the Sea of Maggots.

Zhang Yi's brows were deeply furrowed.

Yang Xinxin said to him, "Brother, it's time to make a decision! Even if you exhaust all your supplies, you can always get them back later."

Launching a physical attack on the Sea of Maggots required a massive amount of weapons.

By now, his ammunition was nearly spent, but Zhang Yi still had a large stockpile of fuel and Elemental Ore Veins.

Releasing these high-purity energies and burning down all of Edo could resolve the immediate crisis.

But doing that would be such a waste. Unless absolutely necessary, Zhang Yi couldn't bear to do it.

Now, however, the situation clearly left him no room for further deliberation.

Just as he was about to grit his teeth and follow Yang Xinxin's advice, he suddenly felt a strong tremor coming from his arm.

Zhang Yi looked down. That sensation was coming from the Sword in the Tree in his hand.

"Hmm? What the hell is going on? Isn't Babu already brain-dead? Why is there still a reaction?"

That tremor came from the Sword in the Tree.

At this moment, Zhang Yi was merged with the Sword in the Tree, and he could feel an emotion of craving being transmitted to him from the blade.

"Brother, even though the brain is dead, the body still retains its instincts."

"Maybe the Sword in the Tree was strongly stimulated and is sending you a signal."

Zhang Yi was somewhat surprised. He saw that at the tip of the Sword in the Tree, the vines were eagerly reaching out toward the Sea of Maggots.

Babu was no more; now it was just a Sword in the Tree.

And the instinct of a plant is to spread toward sunlight, moisture, and abundant nutrients.

Zhang Yi's eyes lit up. He looked at the Sword in the Tree: "Could it be... you want to use the stuff from this cesspit as your nourishment?"

The Sword in the Tree couldn't give Zhang Yi an answer, but the tips desperately reaching toward the Sea of Maggots had already expressed its intent.

Zhang Yi nodded: "Then let's give it a try!"

He increased the output of his supernatural powers. Since energy attacks weren't very effective against the Sea of Maggots anyway, he might as well give the Sword in the Tree a chance.

"Boom!!"

The Sword in the Tree, fully infused with Zhang Yi's supernatural powers, suddenly exploded like a hanging garden blooming in midair, instantly extending tens of thousands of thick vines, which then charged violently into the Sea of Maggots!
