Ultragene Warlord

One of the cultivators on the other end of the crystal barrier discovered Sun Mengmeng. She shouted, "It's that woman with the bow! We have to deal with her first!"

The surface of the stellar sea frothed with waves, layering and texturing it. Auroras hung in the air, veiling the night sky.

From afar, stellar dragons seemed to roar. The pitch-black dragons were like the night sky made manifest. Thunder and lightning crackled in the air.

Dragons unfurled their wings amidst a storm of lightning. The auroras stretched on for thousands of miles, so beautiful they captivated the gathered hunters.

Zhang Lie struck. An underworld river hurtled into existence, roaring into the sea. The sword energy roiled like black waves, like a meteor shower, causing the very stars to shake.

The entire night sky shifted as a thousand stellar dragons descended, as though a crack had broken in firmament. A flood that could destroy the world itself rained down on the lava.

The sea had morphed into a boundless battlefield. The sea breeze was as a horn to action, and the serpents, thousands of courageous soldiers heeding its call.

The heavens shook as all things hummed in resonance. Boulder after boulder exploded, even those tens of thousands of tons heavy. The ripples that emanated from the dragon's keening easily sparked a resonant decomposition.

With a stellar dragon paving the way, Zhang Lie rushed forward with the members of Team Zenith.

Upon noticing that Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith were again drawing near, the cultivators on the other side of the crystal barrier again worked together to launch attacks out toward them.

A huge netherworld sea blocked all the attacks as the stellar dragon rushed forward. The heavenly cordon closed in from behind as pale blue lightning and winds interspersed. The spatial pressure left Team Zenith's movement speed greatly reduced. They felt as though a mountain were weighing them down as they continued forward, the power of the heavenly cordon draining their strength.

The cultivators on the other side of the barrier were overjoyed. Hardly anyone could survive after being caught within the heavenly cordon.

"Haha, they're dead meat!"

The heavenly cordon advanced alongside Zhang Lie and the others. They were moments from being devoured.

Yang Ze shouted, causing ripples around his body to spread to the other members of Team Zenith. The spatial suppression was greatly weakened.

Meanwhile, Sun Mengmeng was unleashing her full repertoire as well.

"[Baptism of Hellfire: Full Moon]!"

Sun Mengmeng whirled her daggers all around her as a black moon rose into the air.

The black moon blazed, fire spreading like moonlight and disrupting the competitors on the far side of the crystal barrier from launching any more follow-up attacks.

"[The Boundless Blade: Dragon's Wrath]!"

Guicang unleashed a barrage of sword energy in the form of a stellar dragon.

The dragon's howls shook heaven and earth. The stellar energy that filled the battlefield transformed into a massive stellar dragon that took to the skies. The members of Team Zenith rushed forward, shattering the spatial restrictions that bound them as they flew out of the heavenly cordon and smashed into and through the crystal barrier.

The huge commotion caused the entire safe zone to quake. The crystal barrier shook violently.

Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith had made it within.

The crystal barrier would keep the heavenly cordon at bay for at least the short term.

The cultivators within the safe zone shuddered in fear upon seeing Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith enter their sanctuary—not only because they were able to escape the heavenly cordon despite having been mired deep within, but also because they were aware of their strength and had attacked them.

The cultivators in the safe zone retreated warily as Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith found a wide-open space before them.

"If you hadn't attacked us out of nowhere, how would they have made it in?!"

Many of the competitors glared at Sun Mengmeng angrily.

Zhang Lie narrowed his gaze. "It sounds almost as though you were planning to trap us outside."

The cultivators shuddered.

"Well, you've already made it in, so it doesn't matter, does it...?"

Zhang Lie smiled coldly.

"Let's say I were to stab you but failed to kill you. Should we treat it as though I never stabbed you?"

The cultivators retreated.

"Don't try anything funny! You've already had several huge fights outside the safe zone. You must have expended much of your energy already. Fighting with us would be an unwise decision."

"Right, think about how many people are on our side and how much effort it took you to even make it in here. Do you really think you can win against all of us despite being exhausted?

"Let's try it and see, then."

Zhang Lie raised his sword high overhead. Bright sword energy radiated from him like brilliant rays of sunlight, illuminating the entirety of the world.

"[First Form: Parting the River]!"

A frightening force spread out from Zhang Lie, energy rumbling and rippling around him. As Zhang Lie swung the blade in his hand, a huge slash of sword energy shot toward them. The cultivators blanched as they turned to flee.

Who would want to fight against someone like Zhang Lie?

As the sword energy swept across the heavens, many cultivators fell from the sky.

"[Shadow and Light]!" Zhang Lie whirled around. Time suddenly sped up in the vicinity of Zhang Lie. His sword flashed time and time again, sweeping across the backs of the fleeing cultivators. By the time they reacted, they were heavily injured and starting to dissolve into fragments of light.

Zhang Lie overtook the gathered cultivators and appeared before them. He shouted coldly, "Where do all of you think you're headed?"

The cultivators stopped short, their faces pale.

"We can't flee anymore. He must have expended a great deal of energy to free himself from the heavenly cordon. If we work together, we might have a chance against him, or we're dead!"

The cultivators banded together.

"Do you think numbers will work against me?"

A pitch-black sun appeared behind Zhang Lie, and a blood moon by his feet. His aura was magnified tenfold, and a halo of black sun appeared above his forehead. Natural law seemed to warp around him.

"A bunch of small fry working together is still just small fry."

Runes likewise appeared on the bloody moon by his feet, forming an intricate array.

"[Syzygy]!"

Everyone's energy was drained as Zhang Lie's was magnified.
