Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1540: The Boy's Defeat

The Sword in the Tree's power completely shattered the balance of the entire battlefield.

So now, he was back to being thoroughly dominated by Zhang Yi.

The power of Divine Domain Purification was incredibly formidable, and even absorbing and converting it required a considerable amount of time.

But now, with the Sea of Maggots being massively destroyed, the speed of his injury recovery was rapidly decreasing.

In fact, this time, it took him seven or eight seconds just to reform his body.

Zhang Yi wasn't in a rush to attack at that moment.

Ordinary strikes were meaningless. To land a blow, he had to use his strongest method, accumulate power, and completely shatter the Ultimate Evil Boy's defenses!

Inflict an injury so severe it couldn't be healed.

After the Ultimate Evil Boy recovered, he seemed to sense the dire state of the battlefield. Suddenly, he let out an ear-piercing screech into the distance.

"What is he doing? Calling for backup?"

His gaze unconsciously drifted downward.

The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons was currently being held back by Huahua.

Those illusory ghostly figures weren't enough to pose a threat to Zhang Yi.

Moreover, acting without consciousness, they wouldn't obey the Ultimate Evil Boy's commands to surround and attack Zhang Yi.

But then, how exactly were they born?

There had to be some other power behind them. If that power showed up now, even Zhang Yi would find it troublesome.

However, nothing happened.

The three black shadows observing from afar ignored the Ultimate Evil Boy's call. They were unwilling to reveal themselves at this moment.

Because truly descending into this world would cost them a tremendous price.

The Ultimate Evil Boy didn't get his reinforcements, which only made him angrier.

"You've abandoned me too, haven't you? Fine, fine, fine. I knew it—in this world, no one is trustworthy except yourself!"

His eyes locked onto Zhang Yi, cold as a venomous snake.

"Even if it's just me alone, I can still kill you!"

Zhang Yi countered, "But, on what basis?"

He raised his right hand, void energy coalescing in his palm—dark, sinister, brimming with destructive power.

"Without the Sea of Maggots' enhancement, your strength is at most around 16,000 points. Let alone defeating me, you can't even break through my defenses!"

"With the power you have now, what do you have to fight me with!"

The Ultimate Evil Boy, furious and unwilling, unleashed his proud [Outer Path Hellfire Cannon] at Zhang Yi once again.

But without converting Zhang Yi's power, relying solely on his own strength, the attack couldn't even shatter a single Dimensional Gate.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath. He could feel the power surging within him.

Having been nearly pushed to the brink by the Ultimate Evil Boy just moments ago, that sense of urgency and crisis had actually helped him break through his limits, fully fusing all the Essence he had obtained from the Demon Kingdom.

Ability index: 22,000 points. Black Chariot-tier Transcendent.

Zhang Yi hovered high in the sky, looking down at that ugly mosquito-like monster. The void energy in his right palm had completely condensed into a black sphere.

He squeezed it slightly, compressing the fist-sized black sphere into something the size of a marble—a nearly solid dark orb.

Because of the extreme compression, it was highly unstable, as if it could explode at any moment!

Zhang Yi aimed his palm at the Ultimate Evil Boy. The black sphere began to rotate slowly, then faster and faster.

A wave of fear—the dread of imminent death—flooded the Ultimate Evil Boy's entire being!

Run!

That was the only word in his mind right now.

But before he could even act, Zhang Yi had already struck.

"Star-Piercing Cannon!"

No warning. No flashy process.

A straight line appeared between Zhang Yi and the Ultimate Evil Boy, starting from Zhang Yi's palm, piercing through the Ultimate Evil Boy, cutting straight through Undying Mountain, and embedding itself into the earth.

Silent and invisible, as if it had always existed there. So fast that the Ultimate Evil Boy couldn't even dodge.

The black light vanished in an instant.

The Ultimate Evil Boy looked down at his chest, where a massive hole had been torn open.

Crimson blood flowed out from the hollow cavity.

He felt his life force draining rapidly.

"You... damn it, damn it, damn it, DAMN IT!"

The Ultimate Evil Boy raised his head to glare at Zhang Yi, his eyes filled with venomous hatred.

His body suddenly twisted. Around the hole, a massive swarm of maggots surged out, trying to fill the void and repair his body.

But this time, his injury was too severe. The Sea of Maggots, already devoured by the Sword in the Tree, couldn't provide him with enough energy.

The maggots tried again and again, but every attempt failed. More and more maggots crammed into his chest cavity.

Then, with a loud "BANG!", the Ultimate Evil Boy exploded in midair.

His entire form turned into a white rain. Countless maggots flew in all directions from inside his body!

It was unimaginable—his body had contained tens of thousands of maggots!

The Sea of Maggots boiled under the assault of the Sword in the Tree, screaming, countering frantically and helplessly, until it all turned into nourishment for the blade.

Zhang Yi could feel the Sword in the Tree's excitement. The sword's level was rising.

If it absorbed every maggot in Edo City, it could easily reach 9,999 points.

No, there would even be a massive surplus of absorbed energy.

This was the accumulated power of the entire Demon-Sealing Court!

And what they had fed on was the lives of Edo City's 500,000 residents!

With the maggots all killed off, the people of Edo would also die in droves, struggling to survive the cold winter.

This battle had turned Edo City into a city of the dead.

Zhang Yi quickly collected the Ultimate Evil Boy's Essence, then urged the Sword in the Tree to accelerate its absorption of the Sea of Maggots across Edo City.

Below, Huahua had been locked in fierce battle with the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons for nearly half an hour.

Though it could block the ghostly apparitions' attacks, those things couldn't be killed, which had worn Huahua out considerably.

After finishing off the Ultimate Evil Boy, Zhang Yi swooped down and unleashed a single Divine Domain Purification, instantly killing every ghostly apparition on the scene!

"Everything here is taken care of. We can leave now."

Zhang Yi said to Huahua.

But his eyes remained alert, watching the surroundings.

"That is... if there won't be any more trouble."

Although the Ultimate Evil Boy was dead, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons hadn't ended. The barrier enveloping all of Edo City hadn't disappeared either.

That meant someone else must be controlling everything from behind the scenes.

Someone perhaps even more difficult to deal with than the Ultimate Evil Boy.

Zhang Yi couldn't afford to be careless.
