Chapter 1037: Chase, Escape
Zhang Yi opened the Dinsional Gate and after several teleportations, suddenly felt a warning in his heart.
The instinct of Echo of Ti allowed him to sense the arrival of danger.
"Whoosh—"
A powerful gust of wind suddenly swept in from the distance, instantly carving out a massive path through the city.
Everything in its path—trees, buildings—was violently smashed apart, bricks and tiles shattering like bean curd dregs.
"BOOM!!!"
Zhang Yi suddenly saw a huge white silhouette appear not far away.
It descended from the sky, stirring up a blizzard dozens of ters high!
A sense of crisis enveloped Zhang Yi, and he instinctively turned to look outside the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms.
He saw a white monster, its eyes filled with killing intent, staring fixedly at him.
Just that single glance gave Zhang Yi a terrifying feeling he hadn't experienced in a long ti.
The last ti he'd felt this way was when he encountered Cadillus in the East Sea.
"Epsilon-level!"
These two words imdiately surfaced in Zhang Yi's mind.
The pursuer was none other than the Colombian Navy's failed experint—Soul Reaper.
He stood precisely outside the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms, not stepping even a single inch inside.
His astonishing insight was breathtaking.
Upon sensing Soul Reaper's aura, Jingwei, Hua Hua, and Lele all turned pale. Hua Hua's fur stood completely on end.
Lele was so frightened it started barking "Woof! Woof!" loudly. If Zhang Yi hadn't been nearby, it might have lost control of its bladder right then and there.
High-level battle, absolutely high-level!
What business did a Gamma-level Demon Dog like it have joining a fight of this caliber!
Lele looked at Zhang Yi with a terrified expression, its fear making it want to flee imdiately.
No wonder everyone reacted this way.
Epsilon-level—the very concept of this rank was too terrifying for every superhuman.
The gap between 10,000 points and 9,999 points was like an insurmountable chasm!
One could say that after evolving to this level, they were essentially a different kind of creature altogether.
Seeing Zhang Yi inside the barrier, Soul Reaper opened his mouth, his jawbone stretching to an unimaginable angle.
A terrifying energy condensed and took shape within his mouth.
Zhang Yi's expression changed instantly. "Retreat, now!"
Jingwei imdiately transford into a shadow without hesitation, staying close to Zhang Yi.
Hua Hua, who had been resting nearby, also instantly shifted into combat form.
"BOOM!!!"
A purple beam shot from Soul Reaper's mouth, slamming violently against Zhang Yi's barrier!
That long-unfelt, dreadful power!
"Is this thing the joint forces' trump card? Damn it, I knew they would definitely deploy Epsilon-level forces!"
He had originally thought they would send out Cadillus when backed into a corner.
He never expected they had other Epsilon-level assets.
Fortunately, it was Zhang Yi who was here today.
Anyone else wouldn't have been able to block even Soul Reaper's casual attack at Delta-level.
The title of Absolute Defense wasn't entirely wrong, after all.
Relying on the formidable absorption capability of his Dinsional Gate, Zhang Yi temporarily blocked Soul Reaper's assault.
However, there was a chasm-like gap between Delta-level and Epsilon-level.
This was also one of the biggest differences between the two ranks—the level of superhuman energy.
Facing a failed Epsilon-level experint like Soul Reaper, Zhang Yi could indeed block his temporary attacks.
But aside from defense, he couldn't accomplish anything else.
And the vast difference in superhuman energy between them ant that even if he consud all his remaining Ability-Boosting Food, it would likely be difficult to bridge the gap.
In other words, as long as the fight continued, he would inevitably exhaust his origin energy and be crushed to death by Soul Reaper!
Thankfully—aside from his strong defensive capabilities, his escape skills were also top-notch.
If I can't beat you, at least I can outrun you!
"Ti to bounce!"
Without another word, once everyone around him was prepared, Zhang Yi took a few steps back and directly opened a Dinsional Gate behind him.
The mont the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms dissolved, he vanished with Hua Hua and Lele, reappearing a kiloter away.
With the barrier gone, that purple superhuman energy beam devoured everything in its path, shooting straight through the massive city!
With just one strike, all buildings within seven or eight kiloters turned to dust!
Even from a great distance, one could feel the astonishing residual power of this attack.
On Star Island, superhumans who sensed this power all changed expressions.
The joint forces' superhumans were relatively calm, having received early warnings from General Huo En.
Therefore, upon detecting that powerful force, they imdiately and without hesitation moved as far away as possible.
Soul Reaper didn't care who you were when he killed—any living thing that appeared in his sight would not be spared!
However, the Huaxu Kingdom's superhumans didn't know the truth of the matter.
Qinglong imdiately contacted the command center: "An anomalous power source has been detected on Star Island, located northeast of Mist Valley's periphery. Suspected to be... Epsilon-level."
Not just him, other superhumans from both major regions who detected this energy fluctuation also reported to headquarters imdiately.
Upon receiving these reports, Li Tianyang and others imdiately took this information seriously.
"Epsilon-level? Could it be that Cadillus has made a move! How dare the Colombian Navy break the rules!"
Li Tianyang's face changed color.
If Cadillus had indeed taken action, the result would be mutual destruction.
No one would gain any advantage in that scenario.
But just then, Xuanwu suddenly frowned.
His gaze turned toward the distance as he said calmly, "No, it wasn't Cadillus who acted."
Far away, on the flagship of the Colombian Navy, Cadillus stood with arms crossed on the main gun of the ship, radiating his powerful pressure toward them.
Xuanwu could clearly sense that aura.
Xuanwu understood clearly that Cadillus was telling the people from both major regions that they hadn't broken the agreent.
"It wasn't Cadillus? How is that possible? Could they have another Epsilon-level superhuman?"
Li Tianyang said incredulously.
Situ Xin frowned as he walked over. "That's also impossible. If they truly possessed two Epsilon-level combatants, there would be no need for them to compete with us fairly."
"They could completely rely on military force to forcibly drive our troops away."
Li Tianyang frowned. "But then how do we explain that powerful superhuman energy reaction on the island?"
Situ Xin had a speculation in his heart.
He believed this matter might be related to Zhang Yi.
Could it be that Zhang Yi had advanced?
If that were the case, it would be trendously good news for the Jiangnan Region.
Situ Xin directly said, "Let contact Chaos! See if he has any information."
