Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1056: Abyssal Creatures
Chapter 1056: Abyssal Creatures
On Li Tianyang's side.
Seeing Zhang Yi and Cadillus locked in a prolonged stalemate, his heart began to grow anxious.
By now, Situ Xin, the person in charge of the Jiangnan Region, had already been taken to a hospital room and placed under strict surveillance.
The soldiers from the Jiangnan Region had also been temporarily "invited" to isolation rooms for detention.
What Li Tianyang truly desired was for Zhang Yi and Cadillus to mutually exhaust each other, then for Xuanwu to step in and clean up the battlefield!
This was his only chance to turn the tables.
Otherwise, he would have no way to explain himself to Li Guangxiao upon returning.
And just at that moment, Xuanwu, who had been intently watching the spectacle, suddenly had his eyes light up.
He opened the communication channel and saw Zhang Yi's incoming communication request.
Xuanwu thoughtfully glanced at Li Tianyang, then opened the communication channel.
Zhang Yi's voice came through the communication channel.
"Xuanwu, I can't hold on much longer! If you don't intervene soon, I'm going to be killed by Cadillus."
"But he said if I'm willing to surrender, he'll let bygones be bygones."
"If you don't help me, I might just go with him!"
Xuanwu's expression immediately darkened.
That guy Zhang Yi had no bottom line.
If the East Sea Region truly abandoned him in his time of need, at the brink of life and death, he really might surrender to the Colombian Navy.
Xuanwu quickly said, "Chaos, don't panic, wait for me!"
Having watched the show for so long, it was time to make his move.
On the sea surface, Xuanwu's true body's eyes suddenly erupted with blue light.
It turned its body and opened its massive mouth toward Cadillus's position on Star Island.
A huge atomic energy sphere rapidly condensed in its mouth, then erupted with terrifying power, transforming into a sword-like atomic breath that shot straight toward Cadillus! ṞÃŊó฿ËS̈
Cadillus was in the midst of fierce battle with Zhang Yi when he suddenly sensed a power from behind that made his heart tremble.
Turning his head, he saw that Xuanwu had made his move!
Cadillus gritted his teeth, blocking with his left arm as massive amounts of super primal water condensed into an enormous shield in front of him!
The atomic breath had already pierced through the air, crashing into Cadillus's super primal water shield.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Yi fully unleashed his Manifold Phenomena, transforming it into thousands of dimensional gates all aimed at Cadillus.
Countless strands of Void Power extended like tentacles from the gates, blotting out the sky as they stabbed toward Cadillus's body!
Moments later, Star Island erupted with astonishing energy fluctuations, causing severe electromagnetic interference for both armies.
The soaring heat waves transformed into a massive mushroom cloud, sweeping away the toxic miasma and even snow and ice for hundreds of miles around, leveling vast urban areas!
This was the first time three Epsilon-level powerhouses had fought together since the apocalypse, and the destructive power they unleashed even approached that of the Death Reaper of Love!
Everyone who witnessed this scene was struck dumb with amazement, too terrified to speak.
After a long while, Li Tianyang was the first to react, angrily questioning Xuanwu:
"Xuanwu, why did you intervene so suddenly! Why not wait until Cadillus finished off Chaos first? Wouldn't that have been better timing?"
Xuanwu looked at Li Tianyang with indifference.
"Do you think Chaos is an idiot? If I didn't intervene, knowing he couldn't defeat Cadillus, he would definitely choose to surrender to the Colombian Navy."
"At that point, would you want to add another powerful opponent to the East Sea Region?"
Xuanwu completely disregarded Li Tianyang's attitude.
Within the East Sea Region, his status was transcendent, answering only to the supreme commander Li Guangxiao.
Li Tianyang couldn't command Xuanwu, which was exactly why Zhang Yi had bypassed him to communicate directly with Xuanwu.
On Star Island, Zhang Yi and Cadillus faced each other from a distance.
Although that last attack had seemed earth-shattering, neither of them had actually sustained any injuries.
Among Epsilon-level powerhouses, unless they fought to the death, casualties were extremely rare.
Everyone had worked hard to reach this transcendent level of existence—as long as they stayed alive, they could enjoy the finest material comforts the world had to offer.
Who would truly risk their life in a fight?
Cadillus took a deep look at Zhang Yi, then glanced at Xuanwu out on the ocean.
He silently communicated to General Huo En: "Xuanwu has already intervened. If we continue fighting, I won't gain any advantage. Chaos's strength... is formidable. I can't kill him quickly."
"Even if I exhaust myself to kill him, I would be in danger too. At that point, you wouldn't be able to withstand Xuanwu's fury."
General Huo En's expression looked worse than if he'd eaten something disgusting.
He hadn't expected that even Cadillus couldn't defeat Chaos.
And now that Chaos had just recently advanced to Epsilon-level, letting him go meant they would have another dangerous enemy in the future.
But aside from withdrawing and swallowing this bitter pill, they had no better options right now.
Gritting his teeth, Huo En said word by word: "Fine, the operation is temporarily canceled. Return!"
Cadillus closed the communication channel and looked at Zhang Yi, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
This time, they had reached a tacit understanding—neither truly wanted to fight to the death.
However, from now on, Cadillus would have another opponent in the East Sea territory.
His reign as the sea emperor wouldn't be so comfortable anymore.
"Let's end it here for today! I hope we don't meet on the battlefield again!"
Cadillus said to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi nodded: "I feel the same way."
He inwardly breathed a long sigh of relief. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
After this battle, his strength had gained recognition from both Cadillus and Xuanwu.
From now on, his status would be solidified, and the whole world would know that Huaxu Kingdom had gained another Epsilon-level powerhouse.
With sufficient strength, troubles would relatively decrease.
Just as both were preparing to leave, very abruptly, a dangerous premonition surged within Zhang Yi's heart.
From the completely devastated Mist Valley, within that primitive sinkhole, a terrifying presence suddenly emerged!
Both Zhang Yi and Cadillus felt their limbs turn cold from this suddenly appearing aura.
Something terrifying beyond their comprehension had appeared!
In the distant sea, Xuanwu also sensed it, his eyes fixed intently on the direction of that abyss.
"Chaos, what's happening over there?"
Zhang Yi's eyes were fixed on that massive abyss—the place where the Divine Source had appeared, a natural giant sinkhole.
Zhang Yi had previously wondered how such a sinkhole had formed and whether it hid some terrifying creature.
Humans always approach the unknown with curiosity, awe, and fear.
Unexpectedly, that terrifying feeling had now become reality.
As Zhang Yi and Cadillus stared into the massive abyss, they truly saw something that defied their understanding.
It was a humanoid creature.
A massive humanoid being over five meters tall, with human-like limbs but a long tail extending from its back.
