Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 708: A Terrifying Hunt

The king, who thought he had escaped safely, was caught unaware and offered up no resistance. He was torn up by the spatial rends like a wet rag.

A rain of blood splattered through the sky as Zhang Lie clutched his head. "Ah, I lost control!"

Ren Kunjing clapped. "Congratulations on killing a king of the realm!"

Zhang Lie sighed. "All I wanted to do was kill a disaster-grade lifeform."

Now that he had killed the king too, Zhang Lie couldn't afford to stay—he didn't want to rouse any more trouble.

Ren Kunjing sent the remaining lifeforms into the wormhole, then left with his men. They had collected enough genetic lifeforms, and no one wanted to deal with the king of the realm's successor.

The next king of the realm would surely seek Zhang Lie out in an attempt to get revenge, but Zhang Lie certainly wasn't going to let himself be killed. If he were to kill the next king, yet another one would pop up and continue seeking revenge on Zhang Lie, forming a vicious cycle with no end.

That would be a waste of Zhang Lie's time.

He transported the genetic lifeforms to the hunting ground and allowed them to kill each other. The first disaster-grade lifeform that popped out, however, was Red Comet.

Zhang Lie was speechless. He did want to have Red Comet, White, and Whiter grow stronger, but not that strong...

After rearing the three of them for so long, Zhang Lie couldn't bear to kill Red Comet. Instead, he left in search of more genetic lifeforms.

"There isn't much time left..." he sighed, glancing at the skies.

Subsequently, he and the Jinghun headed off to a second medium-sized world.

The king of the realm they met this time was far more intelligent. Just one blow from Zhang Lie was enough to make him submit.

The king of the realm gave Zhang Lie a winsome smile, hoping to make him his ally, but Zhang Lie refused. He promised to leave as soon as the king of the realm revealed the location of any disaster-grade lifeforms on that world.

The king of the realm sighed, but he acceded to Zhang Lie's request.

The lifeform from that world was a lava toad, one whose habitat was an active volcano.

The path leading into the volcano was studded with obsidian, so blisteringly hot that Zhang Lie would have burned up if he didn't have the body of a disaster-grade lifeform.

The king of the realm watched Zhang Lie from afar, curious as to just how strong this mysterious alien from another world was. If Zhang Lie were badly hurt after killing the disaster-grade lifeform, he would take the opportunity to finish Zhang Lie off.

Zhang Lie leapt into the volcano and struck immediately. His fists rippled with water-attuned genetic energy imbued with spatial force.

As the energy coiled around his arms, the sudden influx of water disturbed the air within the volcano, sending a huge burst of ash into the air and turning Zhang Lie soot-black.

Nevertheless, Zhang Lie's aura continued to rise rapidly. The water-attuned genetic energy swirling around him condensed around his arms, kneading space as though it were nothing more than paper and sending superheated air belching out of the volcano crater. A storm descended and dispersed the air.

As Zhang Lie punched forward, the gathered energy erupted in a flood, sending lava shooting up hundreds of meters high. The entire volcano shook.

Zhang Lie leapt forward. The energy from his punch had caused an eruption, and a flood of lava rushed out of the volcano. Boulders flew out of the volcano like meteors, and the atmosphere turned an ashy red, as though the end of the world was nigh.

The king of the realm widened his eyes in shock. He had underestimated Zhang Lie, not expecting that he would be able to cause a disaster of such magnitude with an errant blow. He began cleaning up Zhang Lie's mess immediately, quelling the lava and diverting its flow.

He dug a huge hole at the bottom of the volcano and sent the streams of lava into it.

In the meantime, as the volcano spewed out lava, it also spewed out a disaster-grade lifeform—a dark red toad, covered in magmatic armor.

Radiant light glowed from the cracks in the armor. The toad was about the size of a cruise ship, and it sent a flood of lava pouring out of its mouth at Zhang Lie.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!" Zhang Lie's fist morphed into a demonic serpent, one which swallowed the lava whole.

The serpent coiled around the toad as it struggled to escape, stripping itself of its outer layer of magma. Zhang Lie appeared in front of the toad before it could free itself. He stood atop its nose as his eyes glowed rainbow, stilling the struggling toad.

Zhang Lie beheaded it with one blow, then retrieved the disaster-grade core from its carcass.

The fiery-red core seemed to be filled with magma and the explosive strength of the volcano. It radiated such heat that even Zhang Lie found it scalding to the touch.

The king of the realm sighed as the pit he had dug filled with lava. He wiped away the sweat on his forehead.

If he hadn't responded in time, the cities and villages closest to the volcano would have been caught in the aftermath of the explosion, and they could well have been wiped away.

The king of the realm glanced up in vexation at the black ash roiling through the skies. Flakes of ash drifted down from the air like snow; if he didn't handle this well, there would be long-lasting impacts on the atmosphere and the life in the region...
