Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1579: A Mysterious Formidable Enemy

Ruan Ping stared at Zhang Yi in astonishment, his body instantly tensing up as he assumed a defensive stance.

Golden supernatural power surged around his body, making him look like a Buddha statue forged from solid gold.

But the next moment, he felt an incredibly powerful force assault him from all sides, like a giant fist crushing his entire body into a tight ball!

"Crack!"

The sound of bones being forced out of joint echoed out. Even with his golden light shielding him, Ruan Ping's body was still twisted into a grotesque shape.

"Koff-koff—"

He coughed violently, actually spitting out a mouthful of blood from his throat.

"How... how is this possible? Your strength shouldn't be this great!"

Ruan Ping let out a furious roar.

After all, when he first arrived in Tianshui City, Zhang Yi was nothing more than a slightly tougher vermin in his eyes.

But now, he was being crushed by that very vermin!

Perhaps now, Zhang Yi should reintroduce himself.

After absorbing portions of the Essence from the Ultimate Evil Boy and Kami-musubi-no-Kami, combined with his comprehension of the Philosophy of the Mind, his Essence absorption rate had accelerated, greatly boosting his strength.

Zhang Yi's ability index had now reached an astonishing 25,000 points!

If he were to encounter the Nash Kingdom prince again now, even if he couldn't win, he would absolutely possess the power to survive!

Because he was Chaos, wielder of Absolute Defense!

Even within the domain of Black Chariot-tier, he was an exceptionally formidable existence!

Realizing something was wrong, Ruan Ping's body immediately transformed into a beam of golden light and fled into the distance.

And his target was Zhang Yi's headquarters, his shelter!

"Fast indeed!"

Zhang Yi couldn't help but remark.

"But no matter how fast you are, you can't outrun teleportation!"

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Yi directly activated his Dimensional Gate, appearing above Ruan Ping in the next instant.

In his hand, the Sword in the Tree condensed dark Void Force. A massive black hole materialized behind him, unstable dark void energy surging out like demons, coiling around his right arm and climbing up the blade of the Sword in the Tree!

Zhang Yi viciously slashed downward at Ruan Ping. A colossal black blade tore through space, arriving right behind Ruan Ping in an instant!

Void Slash!

Ruan Ping's right hand shifted his golden supernatural power once more, condensing it into a massive holy shield that blocked in front of him!

His ability seemed to be a projection-type supernatural power, allowing him to condense his power into various different weapons.

"CLANG!!"

The massive Void war blade struck the golden holy shield. Though Ruan Ping's feet were planted firmly on the ground, the terrifying force still sent him flying back several kilometers, the earth beneath him shattering completely with a thunderous "RUMBLE!!"

"Oh? You actually managed to block my attack!"

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow. This opponent seemed even tougher than he had expected.

Looks like capturing him alive with his own abilities wouldn't be an easy task.

After all, compared to his defensive capabilities, his offensive prowess wasn't exactly his strong suit.

Ruan Ping used the momentum to put distance between himself and Zhang Yi.

He stared intently at Zhang Yi, the look of disdain on his face completely gone.

"A spatial-type Awakened, same as before, capable of teleportation. And his teleportation range has now reached 4 kilometers."

"That attack he just launched at me had no visible trajectory, seemingly some kind of indiscriminate attack within a designated area. This type of attack definitely has limited range and can't be used infinitely. So I need to maintain sufficient distance from him!"

Ruan Ping analyzed Zhang Yi's ability characteristics in an instant.

He spread his left hand, and golden supernatural power rapidly condensed into a massive longbow. His right hand clenched empty air, and a golden arrow materialized in his palm.

Sacred Path Bow!

Ruan Ping swiftly drew the longbow to its full extent, nocking the golden arrow onto the string.

Golden supernatural power surged like a storm, formidable energy converging on the bowstring, so dense and thick it was practically tangible, making it impossible to tell whether it was a weapon forged from supernatural power or a true bow and arrow!

The arrow locked onto Zhang Yi and was loosed without a moment's hesitation!

In Zhang Yi's left eye, the arrow's trajectory materialized. What should have been a straightforward shot straight at him suddenly displayed tens of thousands of possible paths, chaotically tangled!

Every time Zhang Yi predicted its trajectory, it would re-evolve into an entirely new one!

"A time-type ability? Or perhaps a rule-type?"

Time didn't permit Zhang Yi to ponder further. The golden arrow had already carved a golden corridor through the air, hurtling straight for his chest!

Zhang Yi stopped moving, instead openly unfolding three thousand layers of Dimensional Gates, firmly defending every direction around him!

The golden arrow instantly reached the entrance of the Dimensional Gate, but astonishingly, it seemed to possess a will of its own, directly bypassing the gate.

"WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!!"

The golden arrow began circling the massive circular barrier formed by the Dimensional Gates, flying at speeds exceeding ten times the speed of sound!

It actually formed a golden sphere outside the Dimensional Gates!

Just a single golden arrow, but moving so fast it created the illusion of a ball of light.

"So it's a homing arrow!"

Zhang Yi saw through the arrow's nature at once. He had faced abilities like this before.

A causality-type weapon was one of the most troublesome abilities to deal with.

Its presence meant his Spatial Shifting ability could no longer be used.

Because Spatial Shifting's instantaneous movement was essentially traveling from one gate to another.

In that brief fraction of a second, he would be momentarily exposed in the real world.

And that brief instant could be exploited by the golden arrow.

Zhang Yi remained calm and composed, speaking to his intelligent system: "Lock onto that golden arrow and determine its flight trajectory!"

The intelligent system responded quickly.

"That supernatural arrow is performing erratic high-speed motion. Its trajectory cannot be determined."

"Fine!"

Zhang Yi sighed helplessly. He couldn't demand too much from the intelligent system. A machine was just a machine, after all. If it could crack Black Chariot-tier abilities, that would be far too absurd.

"Looks like I'll have to rely on myself!"

In Zhang Yi's left eye, light twisted like a swirling vortex.

Centered on him, within a three-thousand-meter radius, the flow of time slowed down!

Time-type ability, Time Swamp!

The golden arrow's flight speed was immediately reduced by 30%. Combined with the predictive power of Tracking of All Things, Zhang Yi could now capture its trajectory.

Then, Zhang Yi unleashed the power of Divine Domain Purification, and with a "CRACK!", he snapped the golden arrow clean in two!
