Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 853: Against the Great Lords

Li Zongming nodded upon hearing Zhang Lie's command. Red Comet morphed into a beam of light that shot toward Luohou.

Qiantuo opened his mouth to howl, with sound waves crackling with the force of lightning. Li Zongming defended against the blow with six-colored light that transformed into a shield before him.

Zhang Lie activated his [Ninecarp Transformation]. An ocean of water-attuned genetic energy billowed from him, and a pale blue shark rose into the air from behind.

Water-attuned genetic energy condensed around him at a frightening rate, swirling around his index finger in the form of a small whirlpool and forming a sharp blade of water.

Fuzhang cursed at the xuluo warriors. "What are you all doing, standing around like that? We'll hold these defenders off—go and attack the superior world!"

The xuluo reacted immediately. They ran around the three lords' battlefields and toward the Zongming world. None of them dared to go anywhere near the three lords while they were in combat. A single flick of their fingers could easily kill one or two million of them. If they were uncautious and were struck by a wide-area attack, they would turn to dust immediately.

A dense cloud of xuluo, like flies, divided into two clouds of ten million xuluo each. They routed around the battlefield and set off for the Zongming world.

Zhang Lie slowly raised his index finger up high as the pale-blue genetic energy rushed into the depths of space and formed a waterfall that cascaded down. The waterfall struck like a blade, and the shark that swam through it seemed as though it could swallow up the sky.

"[The Boundless Blade: Yawning Wave]!" Zhang Lie swung downwards with a heavy blow.

The shark swam forth and opened its bloody maw as Fuzhang extended his palm and blocked the blow.

Zhang Lie's genetic energy wasn't able to penetrate Fuzhang's palm. Instead, Fuzhang caught the shark and held it still. Compared to Fuzhang's ridiculous mass, the shark looked like nothing more than a small fish.

Fuzhang's black palms boasted an unusual suction that drained the shark of its genetic energy. With his other palm, he sent a gale blowing toward Zhang Lie, almost forcing him to stumble back. Fuzhang was very surprised, but he seemed to come to an understanding quickly.

"No wonder. No wonder Pozhi was slain by you—heaven's might is ineffective."

In his near-immortal existence, Fuzhang had only met a handful of people who were immune to the effects of heaven's might. As he suffered the backlash from heaven's might, a trickle of blood leaked out of Fuzhang's lips, and his eyes widened in shock.

All those whom Fuzhang's heaven's might was ineffective against were superior kings of the realm, who made use of their world's energy to counter heaven's might. The only person he had met who was not a superior king and still somehow able to counter this near-invincible ability made Fuzhang very shocked indeed.

If not for Feitian's direct command, Fuzhang would drop everything and run.

Fuzhang was as strong as a superior king, so the fact that his heaven's might was ineffective against the unprotected Zhang Lie meant that Zhang Lie had to be someone absurdly strong.

"[Ninecarp Transformation]!" A black serpent materialized behind Zhang Lie, by now so large and so developed that it resembled the world-swallowing serpent Jormungandr. It let out a threatening hiss as its scales clicked together.

Although Zhang Lie's genetic energy was nominally still water-attuned, it had essentially taken on the corrosive properties of his serpent transformation.

On the other hand, on the other side of the battlefield, Li Zongming was being completely suppressed by Qiantuo.

Although Li Zongming could control the energy of the world and use it to defend himself against heaven's might, Qiantuo was still able to win out. Li Zongming wasn't weak; he was simply so concerned about the fate of the Zongming world that he found himself distracted during this critical battle.

As the xuluo warriors approached the Zongming world, they began to cheer. The moment the xuluo made it inside, they would easily take over the world—a newly evolved superior world didn't have the resources or manpower to stop them.

Just as they were about to break in, however, two humongous shadows rushed out of the Zongming world. One opened its maw wide and swallowed up a large number of the xuluo.

Its five-colored scales glimmered with light, like the most precious of gems. The horns on its forehead looked like a crown. It was the size of a small city, with a mouth to match. A halo of light shone above its head. Nine pairs of wings kept it aloft, forming strong winds that buffeted the xuluo. It stared at them with an air of disdainful arrogance. On its back was a luxurious palace, ornate and intricate.

The other disaster-grade lifeform was equally extravagant. The ring of light on its back shone as brightly as the sun. Its huge wings covered up the sky, and its lithe body exuded grace. Its sharp eyes looked as though they could pierce through the sun and stars.

As it flew, space seemed to ripple. Its rainbow-colored feathers gave off light in the seven colors of the dawn, and it left a rainbow trail behind it, so beautiful that any onlookers would be instantly attracted to it.

Atop the sunbird was a palace that didn't lose out to that carried by the five-colored dragon, with exquisite architecture and a stream of flowing water. It was a style that harmonized with nature, and the clouds and mist surrounding it made it look like a building of myth and legend.

The two disaster-grade lifeforms were none other than Zhang Lie's five-colored dragon and Li Zongming's sunbird.

As they noticed the explosions ringing out through the air and the danger their masters was in, they hurriedly flew toward the outer extremities of the world and arrived just in time to hold the xuluo back.

Li Zongming was so touched by their timely arrival that he felt as though he were about to cry.

With the two lifeforms stalling the xuluo, the Zongming world would be safe for a little more time. In that case, he could devote his full attention to the fight ahead.

While Fuzhang was still in shock at Zhang Lie's strength, Zhang Lie struck.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!" Zhang Lie punched forward, and the black serpent behind him shot forth.

Fuzhang came to his senses and struck forward with a pitch-black palm, which swiftly grew until it was thrice the size of his body.

Zhang Lie's black serpent nimbly darted through the cracks between the fingers.

Fuzhang sneered. His tail reached out and grabbed the serpent, but the moment it came into contact with the serpent's body, it began to sizzle. Fuzhang ignored the pain of contact, reached out with his other hand, grabbed the serpent's head, and sucked it into his palm.

As Zhang Lie activated his blood ant and dragonwolf soulshards, he transformed into a dragonwolf with russet fur and limbs covered with dragons' scales. His aura became magnified as a hurricane of blood spawned around him.

The next moment, Zhang Lie vanished from sight and appeared behind Fuzhang, swiping down with his claws.

Fuzhang's tail curled back and defended against the claws. An explosion rang out in the depths of space. The snake-like tail twisted and bent under the impact. Fuzhang whirled around and struck with his palms.

Zhang Lie widened his eyes in shock. Fuzhang's palms were covered in pale-blue water-attuned genetic energy, with ripples erupting in front of them. A shark swam forth in a dense layer of genetic energy—an exact replica of the blow that Fuzhang had absorbed from Zhang Lie earlier...
