Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1654: The Earth God's Domain

"Commander, the space-based weapon has locked onto the target's position. Should we fire directly?"

An officer addressed Meng Yuanjun with a ghastly pale face and lifeless eyes. He looked like a zombie, his body merely going through mechanical responses.

Hearing these words, Meng Yuanjun suddenly raised his head and loudly rebuked: "Absolutely not!"

"But..."

"There is no 'but'!"

Meng Yuanjun decisively rejected the proposal, waving his hand: "The space-based weapon is the final trump card for us ordinary humans! If we cannot guarantee it will definitely be effective, we absolutely cannot use it carelessly. That would only put the enemy on guard."

His face darkening, he crossed his hands over half his face.

"They're after Houtu. So even if all of us die, we must leave behind the command: at the critical moment of Lady Houtu's battle, use the space-based weapon to help her!"

...

The thin man Youying and the fat man Destruction Hall strode openly into Shengjing City. Everywhere they looked were shattered corpses of human warriors. Even in the ultra-low temperatures approaching negative one hundred degrees, the massive quantities of hot blood had not fully frozen.

It was like a biting, cruel winter.

On the southern wall of Shengjing City, swaths of blood-red plum blossoms had bloomed.

Youying and Destruction Hall had no mind to appreciate such beauty.

Youying grinned cheerfully, manipulating his dark legion to slaughter their way forward.

"We've already pushed things this far, so why haven't Shengjing's powerhouses appeared? Could it be that they've all left?"

Youying's face was full of cruel smiles. "If that's the case, then I'll just have to kill every single person here!"

He beckoned forward, and within the thick black tide, black tentacles like octopus arms, like thousands of sharp spikes, violently shot toward the city defense forces ahead!

"Splat!"

...

The bodies of those soldiers were as fragile as shields woven from straw, easily pierced through. Along with them, the buildings constructed of reinforced concrete were run through as well. With just a single strike, half the city district fell completely silent. Only thick, dark blood flowed out in a viscous stream, then condensed into ice after the steam dispersed.

Just as the two decided to begin their merciless slaughter.

At the very center of Shengjing City, that young girl barely twenty years old suddenly rose from the floor.

A black long dress covered her delicate body, and a head of thick, jet-black hair hung down to her heels. She did not look like a living person at all, but rather an exquisitely crafted doll. In the palm of her right hand, she held a carving knife, while in her left hand were two wooden puppet dolls.

She raised her head to look into the distance. Across hundreds of kilometers, across countless buildings, she could see the appearance of those two individuals with perfect clarity.

[Observe the Form].

Just that single glance made both Youying and Destruction Hall simultaneously feel an invisible pressure descend upon them. The air seemed to grow viscous, and the two of them involuntarily felt a strong sense of discomfort in their bodies.

Youying's pupils violently constricted. There was scarcely any black in his eyes, most of them being the whites, making his appearance extremely hideous and eerie.

Soon, he looked toward Destruction Hall beside him and laughed.

"Hey, do you feel that? A very powerful force, enveloping us!"

Destruction Hall's face remained cold. "That legendary strongest of the Huaxu Nation, the one who commands the power of curses. So she's still here!"

The two exchanged a glance, then revealed sinister grins.

"Hehehe, that's just wonderful!"

If they could eliminate the Huaxu Nation's top combat power before the next war began, it would undoubtedly be a great merit!

Youying's laughter grew more and more eerie, like a screech owl shrieking in a midnight gale. He manipulated Youying, leading himself and Destruction Hall charging madly toward the Earth God Temple!

At this moment, outside the Earth God Temple, over ten thousand fully armed Transcendents held their weapons, their supernatural powers fully activated, nervously awaiting the enemy's arrival.

But at that moment, a single sentence came from a shrine maiden within the Earth God Temple.

"Lady [Houtu] has ordered: all personnel, withdraw immediately. No one is permitted within thirty li of the Earth God Temple!"

Hearing this command, all the Dragon's Roar Guards were dumbfounded.

The Earth God Temple was located at the very center of Shengjing City. Retreating thirty li was equivalent to completely ceding the central battlefield of Shengjing.

Houtu would face two enemies of at least Black Chariot-tier alone?

Though shocked in their hearts, no one dared to raise any objection to Houtu's command. Their hearts had long been prepared for death, but they also understood that even if they all died in battle, they could at most only exhaust a portion of the enemy's strength.

Clearly, Houtu believed such sacrifices held no value whatsoever. If it were the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits, perhaps they could still play some role.

Immediately, all the members of the Dragon's Roar Guard withdrew.

Houtu stood within the Earth God Temple and said to the shrine maidens outside the door: "You may also withdraw!"

The two shrine maidens respectfully bowed their heads. "Yes, my Lady!"

Houtu's safety did not require people of their level to worry about. Remaining would only be a foolish display of loyalty, utterly meaningless.

Before long, the entire area around the Earth God Temple fell silent.

The dark tide poured into this region, detecting the dead silence here, yet Youying and Destruction Hall did not dare show the slightest negligence. After all, they knew they were facing the current most powerful and most mysterious combat force of the Huaxu Nation.

The two slowed their speed upon approaching within ten kilometers of the Earth God Temple, standing in the distant high altitude to survey the area.

Near the Earth God Temple, there were no tall buildings whatsoever. No one was permitted to look down upon Houtu.

That massive palace stood alone at the very center of Shengjing City, upon the crisscrossing central axis.

Around the Earth God Temple was an incomparably vast plaza covered in pristine white snow, roughly two thousand meters in length and width. Such openness made it appear extremely abrupt. The outer perimeter of the plaza was sealed off tightly by a ring of walls.

Youying crouched atop the dark tide, grinning, yet his gaze was somewhat grim as he said: "According to rumors, this person can kill using the power of curses! Anyone she locks onto is doomed to die!"

Destruction Hall said in a low voice: "The greater the power, the greater the constraints. Unless her supernatural power level has far surpassed ours, it's impossible for her to instantly kill the two of us."

Youying said: "The operation of a curse requires a medium. In that case, as long as we don't approach that area, we'll be fine!"

Just as Youying finished speaking, from the dark tide beneath his feet, a large number of shadow giants over a hundred meters tall emerged. One shadow giant after another, like small mountains, strode with firm steps toward the walls of the Earth God Temple.

They gradually converged, and very quickly, they had completely surrounded the entire Earth God Temple.
