Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1657: The Hell Path

The combined attacks of Youying and Destruction Hall were completely neutralized by Guan Longyue.

She simply stood there quietly, the Black Sun before her wearing a monstrous expression, guarding her like a ghost god.

The massive white body of the Great Devourer coiled around, its gaze cold as it watched the distant enemies.

The abilities of the【Asura Path】and the【Animal Path】were to summon malevolent spirits.

The Black Sun was none other than the Epsilon-class Transcendent who had once wreaked havoc in Shengjing. After Guan Longyue killed him, he was drawn into the cycle of reincarnation.

As for the Great Devourer, it was the beast king that had slaughtered dozens of human cities north of Shengjing.

Those who were erased would enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation and be driven by Guan Longyue. This was also why Shang Daowen could leave with peace of mind.

Never underestimate Shengjing's number one powerhouse!

Only now did Youying and Destruction Hall realize just how difficult this decapitation operation truly was.

But at this moment, they had no other choice.

Still, things weren't too terrible. At the very least, Shang Daowen couldn't possibly make it back in a short time.

"Let's kill those two summons first!"

Youying said.

"That's not exactly difficult."

Destruction Hall replied flatly.

Although the appearance of the Black Sun and the Great Devourer had stirred some surprise in the two of them, once they calmed down, their minds immediately began analyzing the situation on the battlefield.

The Black Sun and the Great Devourer consumed Guan Longyue's own power. Controlling two summoned spirits simultaneously also required an enormous amount of supernatural power.

Both of them were Black Chariot-tier Transcendents. As long as they kept fighting Guan Longyue continuously, they would eventually spot her weaknesses.

"Her frail body doesn't seem suited for close combat."

Youying said.

"According to the principle of ability conservation, her abilities are mainly manifested in【curses】and【summoning】. That means she definitely can't possess strong close-combat capability."

"Ranged attacks aren't working for now. So let's try getting in close to attack!"

"Kill her two summons first, then erase the main body!"

Youying said.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately formulated their battle plan.

The two of them bolted toward the Earth God Temple like lightning.

Destruction Hall's target was the Black Sun. He leaped into the air, condensing a massive amount of supernatural power between his hands. It rapidly transformed into a silver sphere, which he then hurled directly at the Black Sun!

Like the moon crashing down, his true target was Guan Longyue. If the Black Sun dodged, then Guan Longyue would inevitably be struck.

So the Black Sun didn't dodge or flinch at all.

"Hah!"

He opened his mouth and let out a bizarre cry. His body, already turned crimson like a magma man, radiated a terrifying red light.

"Whoosh-"

Crimson flames shot skyward like fresh blood fresh, colliding violently with the silver moon!

Meanwhile, Destruction Hall had already risen into midair, both hands pushing the silver moon downward with crushing force!

The summoned Black Sun was, after all, merely an undead spirit. When fighting a true Black Chariot-tier powerhouse, it couldn't display the combat intellect and strength it had possessed while alive.

What's more, Destruction Hall himself possessed combat power at the Silver Armor level.

In this collision, the silver moon crushed the torrent of flames and slammed the Black Sun's body savagely into the earth beneath the Earth God Temple's plaza!

"RUMBLE!!!!"

The ground shattered, dazzling light blazed across the plaza, and a massive crater was forcibly smashed out by Destruction Hall!

The Black Sun's body had vanished. Only a human-shaped depression remained on the ground.

The Great Devourer desperately guarded Guan Longyue, issuing threats at the approaching enemies.

Youying had already arrived nearby. He raised his palm, and behind him shadows surged upward like ocean waves.

It was like the curtain rising on a grand opera. Black tidal waves blotting out the sky enveloped the entire Earth God Temple. In an instant, the tidal surge collapsed, crashing down upon the Great Devourer!

"Hiss-"

The Great Devourer's body spun rapidly, shielding Guan Longyue tightly within. Then the transparent twin horns on its head erupted with lightning-like energy, resisting the dark invasion.

She looked at the two who had already drawn close to her, and with an expressionless face, slowly spread her arms, as though the cycle of reincarnation were welcoming its people to the afterlife.

"How dare you enter my cycle of reincarnation?"

"Return to dust!"

Her voice was cold as if it came from the netherworld itself.

The next instant, with her feet as the center and the entire Earth God Temple including the surrounding circular plaza as its range, the scene of heaven and earth transformed in an instant!

No light, no moon, no wind. Everywhere was a vast gloom, except far in the distance, sky-spanning firelight suddenly blazed, and the wails of vengeful spirits sounded in their ears.

Destruction Hall and Youying's gazes sharpened. They looked around and suddenly discovered that the place they stood had transformed into the Uninterrupted Hell!

A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Beneath their feet flowed the River of the Underworld. Yakshas with naked bodies and steel tridents were roasting the dead over underworld flames, while corpses and entrails drifted through the Yellow Springs.

"Is this... an illusion?"

Before their words even landed, they suddenly felt their legs tighten.

They looked down and saw an utterly horrifying sight, from the Yellow Springs, countless vengeful spirits were crawling out, bodies ablaze with karmic fire, wailing as they climbed onto their bodies.

And in the endless abyss of the Yellow Springs, the faces of these vengeful spirits filled every inch. As if seeing a lifeline, they swam desperately toward the surface, then tried to drag the two of them down into the Yellow Springs to become their substitutes.

The two of them, already afflicted with the curse attacks bestowed by the Black and White Impermanence, now fell into the boundless karmic obstacles of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. They felt their bodies weighed as if by a thousand jun, and for a moment they could hardly move.

"Get lost!"

Youying kicked hard. The dead souls beneath his feet were instantly scattered to dust, wailing as they turned to ash in the Yellow Springs.

But immediately, more dead souls climbed up his thighs, clawing desperately toward his upper body.

They opened their mouths wide, and from within came the tormented wails of those who had endured suffering throughout the cycle of reincarnation. These wails nearly made both Youying's and Destruction Hall's heads explode!

Youying's expression changed drastically. He immediately condensed a mass of black shadow, transforming it into a sky-full of blades that spiraled out, annihilating every vengeful spirit clinging to his body.

Destruction Hall also released energy with all his strength before he managed to struggle free.

But by now, the world they occupied had completely changed.

The Earth God Temple was gone. Only an endless Yellow Springs remained.

They had no foothold. Beneath them were hundreds of millions of dead souls waiting for substitutes.

Guan Longyue stood upon the temple at the center of the Yellow Springs, looking down at them from above.

Destruction Hall growled low: "The only way to break this damned ability now is to kill her!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

In Youying's right palm, shadow condensed into a massive curved blade. Both knew they couldn't afford to delay any longer, otherwise there was no telling what other bizarre abilities Guan Longyue might unleash.
