Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1558: A Stern Warning

Zhang Yi appeared within this ocean of white light, and he himself had lost his human form, becoming one of the countless specks of light.

As if floating in the warmth of a mother's womb, this place filled his heart with boundless warmth.

Just as Zhang Yi was immersed in this peculiar sensation, the [Tracking of All Things] ability to foresee danger abruptly awakened him from his meditation!

In the silent room, the darkness of night held an eerie stillness.

But in the corner of the room, two towering figures of the Emissaries of the Underworld loomed over him, their gazes locked onto him.

One black, one white, wielding a mourning staff and soul-binding chains, their faces neither crying nor laughing, caught somewhere between sorrow and mirth.

Zhang Yi's pupils constricted sharply!

He had seen this ability before.

It belonged to the most mysterious Transcendent of the current Huaxu Nation, the one many claimed to be the strongest, [Houtu], Guan Longyue!

But right now, there was no time for him to think.

Because the iron chains in the hands of the Black and White Emissaries were shifting from ethereal to tangible.

And around his own body, loop after loop of solid iron chains were slowly materializing!

The dread of death instantly enveloped Zhang Yi's heart!

Houtu's ability was said to be an absolute kill! Once a target was locked on, no matter where they fled, death was an inevitable conclusion!

Only...

A strange sensation suddenly welled up in Zhang Yi's heart.

An inevitable end?

But why then, was the danger warning from [Tracking of All Things] not particularly intense?

As if with a single raise of his hand, he could snap these chains apart?

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Zhang Yi activated his Dimensional Gates!

Manifold Phenomena, countless Dimensional Gates layered around his body, constructing dozens upon dozens of impenetrable defenses!

But astonishingly, the Dimensional Gates had absolutely no effect on the soul-binding chains.

They ignored the Dimensional Gates entirely, passing straight through them as if they didn't exist.

The chains around his body were gradually tightening, and the Black and White Emissaries had already drifted toward Zhang Yi. The White Emissary raised its mourning staff, preparing to strike down upon Zhang Yi's head.

Zhang Yi's body suddenly vanished from the spot, disappearing directly into dimensional space!

After losing its target, the White Emissary was momentarily baffled, looking around in confusion.

The Black and White Emissaries circled the spot where Zhang Yi had vanished, wandering around it in loops.

Because according to what they sensed, Zhang Yi truly did exist at that spatial node.

After entering dimensional space, Zhang Yi, already thoroughly familiar with this environment, calmed down instead.

The anomalous flow of time here caused a complete separation between body and mind.

So, while the spiritual world perceived the passage of years upon years, the physical body only experienced a brief moment of actual time.

While this would inflict mental torment on a person.

Once accustomed to it, however, one could exploit the time difference between inside and outside to think.

"Houtu made a move against me! She actually dared to make a move against me! Damn it, damn it, damn it, DAMN IT!!!!!"

Zhang Yi's heart first erupted with ten thousand curses of damnation!

Whether with the Shengjing district or with Guan Longyue herself, he had no deep-seated grudge.

Why would she make a move against him?

But compared to his first encounter with the [Guillotine of Hell], the deterrent force of the Black and White Emissaries this time was clearly far inferior to that occasion.

Most critically, his ever-reliable premonition of deadly crisis had not activated this time.

"They haven't gathered all the pieces of my information puzzle, so they can't possibly kill me!"

"Then what's the point of making a move against me? To wound me? What's the meaning of that?"

Zhang Yi looked down at the chains binding his body. Even after escaping into dimensional space, they had extended out from the spatial node.

The power of rules could transcend time and space, much like the theory of quantum entanglement.

Zhang Yi pondered for a long time. He had to figure out the current situation, what exactly was going on?

After an extended period of contemplation, he finally realized one thing.

That was, he had stirred up a massive storm this time! To the point where Shengjing had begun to harbor dissatisfaction toward him.

"No, perhaps it's not just Shengjing!"

"Those vested interests in high positions will always worry about new disruptors appearing and threatening their status!"

"Because of my appearance, the four great Tusi families of the Southwest Region lost their standing. The higher-ups in other regions might have their own thoughts about this."

"Especially Zhu Zheng! Could it be that bastard wants me dead?"

The moment this thought crossed his mind, murderous intent immediately boiled within Zhang Yi's heart.

"As long as I remain in the Jiangnan Region for a single day, Zhu Zheng's authority can never be secure. He doesn't want someone like me to exist in the Jiangnan Region, because my strength is too great, far beyond his control."

Zhang Yi considered many possibilities, but it was all speculation, and he had no evidence.

Yet the soul-binding chains tightly wrapped around his body were undeniably real.

"What the hell am I supposed to do about this thing?"

Zhang Yi furrowed his brow, feeling a surge of irritation.

He couldn't hide in dimensional space forever. Eventually, he would have to go out. But once he did, what kind of situation would he face?

His mind raced at lightning speed.

In that instant, he remembered something.

Back in the underground depths of the Qinling Mountains, Guan Longyue's curse doll had once been used by him against Bai Longzi.

The chains had bound Bai Longzi, but only for a single moment before he directly snapped them apart!

"Guan Longyue couldn't possibly have gathered all of Bai Longzi's information fragments, so her ability wasn't fully activated! Just like when she used it on me this time."

"But this also proves that the Guillotine of Hell is not unbreakable! As long as, my power is strong enough!"

With this thought, a surge of powerful courage suddenly welled up within Zhang Yi's heart.

He took a deep breath, his eyes fixed intently on the soul-binding chains wrapped around his body.

After four days of studying and interpreting the Philosophy of the Mind, he had begun to understand himself. His supernatural powers hadn't increased in the slightest, but his comprehension of his own strength had grown tremendously!

There was no need to blindly chase external power. Every Transcendent's own body was a colossal treasure trove!

The union of time and space was itself a great miracle born into this world!

Within his eyes, yin and yang swirled in ceaseless rotation. The power of time in his left eye surged in a clockwise vortex, while the power of space in his right eye churned in a counterclockwise vortex.

Time, space.

The power of spacetime.

Spacetime, reverse flow!

Invisible force poured directly into the soul-binding chains.

The black chains that had bound Zhang Yi so tightly suddenly began to dissipate like dust in an instant.
