Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1139: Unusual Mutation

The draconian sage was worried because this was his world. Zhang Lie wasn't frequently in the draconian world anymore, and the members of Team Zenith were following him around as they waged war on the superior kings of antiquity, leaving only him, a rather weak and helpless superior king, behind.

If there were another rampage, he would have to shoulder the burden on his own. However, this unusual genetic lifeform was beyond monarch-grade, and even he couldn't do anything about it.

Zhang Lie replied, "Now that Gold Comet's back, I'll let him guard the farm. Gold Comet has exhaustive experience in skirmishing. He might not be beyond monarch-grade yet, but his combat acumen and experience are incomparable to this unusual genetic lifeform's."

After all, the genetic lifeforms within the farm had all been grown essentially artificially, like lions and tigers that had been reared in a zoo.

Gold Comet had fought and earned his way to his current strength. Unusual though this post-monarch-grade lifeform might be, it had barely any combat experience to speak of, save a few recent skirmishes with the draconian sage.

In other words, Gold Comet was far and away the superior lifeform when it came to an actual fight.

Upon hearing that Gold Comet would be around to safeguard the draconian world, the draconian sage sighed in relief.

"Gold Comet would easily be able to suppress this post-monarch-grade lifeform," the draconian sage agreed.

Zhang Lie continued, "However, before that, we need to make sure that this lifeform knows that there's a price to pay for its mischief—that it has to fear our reprisal."

The draconian sage asked, "How?"

"Zhu, were there any other monarch-grade lifeforms that you cultivated in the meantime?"

Zhu nodded. "I've been working very hard, and I managed to coax one more monarch-grade lifeform out."

Zhang Lie caressed Zhu's sea-blue hair. "Not bad!"

Zhu laughed. "Keep praising me, Zhang Lie!"

Zhang Lie continued to caress Zhu's hair as he motioned for the members of Team Zenith to bring that monarch-grade lifeform over. They would slaughter it right before the unusual post-monarch-grade lifeform's shocked and furious gaze.

Zhang Lie sneered at the unusual lifeform. "If you aren't obedient, this is what's going to happen to you."

Zhang Lie then handed Zhu the spoils of the battle against the king of keys. "There are thirty superior worlds' worth of energy here, enough to sustain this farm for quite some time."

Zhu, who had never seen such a huge stockpile of treasure before, was shocked beyond belief. The draconian sage had to wipe away his drool.

Afterwards, Zhang Lie left with Li Qianlin and headed toward the scaleman world on the back of the multicolored disaster-grade dragon.

The scaleman king welcomed the two of them. Noting how intimate Li Qianlin seemed to be, he ventured, "Master, is this your wife?"

Li Qianlin flushed red.

Zhang Lie nodded. "Ah, you found out."

Li Qianlin kicked Zhang Lie's leg, but by this point, her kicks felt barely any stronger than if he were scratching an itch. On the other hand, Li Qianlin winced—it was as though she had kicked a steel bar.

Zhang Lie turned to her. "What's the matter? Are you alright?"

Li Qianlin glared at Zhang Lie, the annoying fellow.

Zhang Lie coughed. He turned to the scaleman king. "You mentioned that you had a large surplus of post-peak-grade and disaster-grade lifeforms?"

The scaleman king nodded fervently. "Yes, Master! Shortly after you left, there was another swell of breeding lifeforms, and the farm's almost stuffed full. I've been concerned about what to do with them."

Time in the area had been sped up tremendously by the authority of the superior king. As the scaleman king's strength grew and the scaleman world gained more energy, the rate at which the genetic lifeforms grew and reproduced would only increase. Between Zhang Lie's last departure from and arrival to the scaleman world, the number of post-peak-grade and disaster-grade lifeforms had increased fivefold.

The scaleman king asked, "Do you have need of these lifeforms, Master? It's difficult for me to handle them too much, and there are so many that the farm's almost beyond capacity."

The scaleman king had already renovated the farm and doubled its size, but the rate at which these lifeforms were growing was simply ridiculous.

"Thankfully, the scaleman world's been growing as well, and there hasn't been a problem yet. If you need any, Master, please take them away," the scaleman king offered.

"Very well. I'll take all the lifeforms beyond superior-grade."

The scaleman king asked, "Not all of them?"

"You'll need some stock to keep breeding, won't you?"

The scaleman king replied, "There's no need, Master. After all, we still have a tradition of annual royal hunts around here, though it's essentially just me, my brother, and my nephew. It's a festive occasion for us all."

"No, I'd be embarrassed to take them all—and the draconian world isn't equipped for them all, at any rate."

The scaleman king urged, "No need for the courtesy, Master. All my accomplishments are due to you."

Zhang Lie was growing a little impatient. "I'll be direct, then. Keep rearing the superior-grade lifeforms for me here for now, and once you amass a large number of disaster- and peak-grade lifeforms, I'll take them off your hands. I'll also come and replenish my stock of genetic lifeforms as and when I need them, treating your hunting grounds as a second farm. Is that acceptable?"

The scaleman king bowed. "I'm happy to serve, Master."

Zhang Lie controlled a large number of the lifeforms with his disaster-grade mistmeld clam soulshard, then left with them in tow.

Li Qianlin asked curiously, "Just what's your relationship with the scaleman king? He seems very respectful of you."

"I gave him a push during a time of need." Zhang Lie slowly retold to Li Qianlin his escapades with the scaleman king, who had once been the ninth prince of his people.

When he finished the story, she sighed. "To think you were able to raise a prince no one thought highly of to one of the three newly ascended superior kings of the third realm..."

Zhang Lie replied, "It's hardly as impressive as that. He still needs to grow much more."

"You really are a demanding master, aren't you? He's already a superior king, a man at the peak of the three thousand worlds, with the same status as my father! There are only four superior worlds left among the three thousand, and he leads one of those four! How much further do you want him to go? It's unrealistic to expect him to become the next king of chaos."

"Now that you mention it..."
