Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 883: High to Low

Zhang Lie shrugged. "Theoretically speaking, there should be higher levels of power possible, but before we verify it through experiment, I can't confirm the results myself."

Chen Fan and the draconian sage nodded.

They thought that Zhang Lie had made a major discovery without their knowledge, but it was still just hypothetical for now.

Zhang Hanxiang and the others, however, felt differently. Since Zhang Lie believed that there was such a possibility, then he would surely succeed in drawing out that possibility. After years of working with Zhang Lie, their trust in him had reached unfathomable heights.

Zhang Hanxiang and the Yeluo chieftain asked, "Is there anything you need help with at the moment?"

"Not at the moment—I'm still at the exploratory phase of the research."

"Brother, if you succeed this time, you'll shake the world again!" Not just in the third realm, either—the dimensional realm at large and the Milky Way would be shaken by Zhang Lie's discovery.

The discovery of genetic lifeforms beyond disaster-grade would be as stupendous as that of limit fragments, or even limit-breaking potions.

All life in the Milky Way relied on these gene fragments to grow stronger. Only with the existence of disaster-grade lifeforms could there be disaster gene fragments—and the same was true for post-disaster-grade lifeforms.

The Milky Way still hadn't yet recovered from the discovery of disaster-grade lifeforms. Many warlords still hadn't managed to complete their collection of disaster gene fragments. While there were disaster-grade lifeforms in the second realm, they were so few in number, and so overwhelmingly sought, that hunters would count themselves lucky just acquiring one or two disaster gene fragments at a time. It was rare that a disaster-grade lifeform was found, and rarer still that it could be killed.

There were far more disaster-grade lifeforms in the third realm, but under normal circumstances, human hunters had no ability to search for them and hunt them down.

This was why the existence of disaster-grade lifeforms hadn't been known until Zhang Lie.

Despite all this, while the rest of the world—the rest of the galaxy!—had their hands full dealing with disaster-grade lifeforms, Zhang Lie had already begun his investigation into post-disaster-grade lifeforms. He was a whole era ahead of the rest of the galaxy.

Indeed, he had been the one to discover limit fragments and disaster-grade lifeforms as well...

Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. With Zhang Lie around, humanity was sure to grow strong. Humanity had been relatively weak among the races of the Milky way, but with Zhang Lie around, they were sure to shine.

Chen Fan was confident that Zhang Lie would be able to lead humanity to greatness.

"Right, Brother, let me hand this soulshard back to you. I expect you'll need it."

Zhang Hanxiang handed over the disaster-grade dragonwhale soulshard.

The disaster-grade farm from the second realm had been constructed with the dragonwhale as the basis, and Zhang Hanxiang was sure her brother would find some use for it.

Zhang Lie didn't refuse her gift. The disaster-grade dragonwhale soulshard would do little for Zhang Hanxiang now, and he was very worried that she would continue bringing stowaways with her from the third realm to the fourth.

Zhang Lie activated the dragonwhale soulshard and looked inside. The disaster-grade marine lifeforms within had all been left in the second realm, but there was still a large quantity of bone-corroding shrimp within.

"Wonderful!" Zhang Lie cried out. "I'd been worried about what to feed all these lifeforms, but now..."

The shrimp could be allowed to grow and form a stable source of food for these lifeforms. Zhang Hanxiang had brought him a truly precious gift.

While the Zhang siblings discussed their respective experiences in the second and third realm, the draconian sage and Chen Fan teleported away.

Zhu asked, "Zhang Lie, how's the progress on your research?"

"It's hard to say—I'm still working on it. Hanxiang, you haven't started acquiring gene fragments in the third realm, have you? I have a large number of superior- and peak-grade lifeforms right here, so you can begin by acquiring those right now. Once the farm's operational again, we'll talk about the rest of the fragments."

Zhang Hanxiang shook her head. "No, Brother, there's no need. I'm sure you're busy with your own affairs, and I can't keep relying on you. I need to make use of my own strength and abilities to max out my gene fragments."

.

"As long as you have the ability to do so. You've just ascended to the third realm, so you're quite a bit weaker than most lifeforms around. Listen to me." Zhang Lie picked out sixteen superior-grade and ten peak-grade lifeforms, which he motioned to stand before Zhang Hanxiang.

Zhang Hanxiang was unable to resist her brother's commands. She obediently slaughtered them all.

Zhang Lie continued, "I'll leave the regular- and mutated-grade lifeforms to you. Consider this a trial to make sure you haven't been slacking off in the second realm."

If the members of Team Zenith were present, they would immediately protest at the preferential treatment that Zhang Lie had shown his sister.

Zhang Hanxiang's advancement trial was far more straightforward than what they had to overcome, but there was no helping it. Zhang Hanxiang was Zhang Lie's only sister, after all.

Zhu frowned. "Zhang Lie, I feel like you're pampering Hanxiang far more than me!"

Zhang Lie pretended not to hear Zhu's words and changed the subject. "Haha, Yun Bing and Chu Feng have just ascended, so let me bring them over here as well."

"Please, let us handle the preparation of the lifeforms' meat." After the lifeforms were slaughtered, the Yeluo chieftain and warriors volunteered to cook the sixteen superior-grade and ten peak-grade lifeforms into a sumptuous feast, while Zhang Lie shattered space and brought both Yun Bing and Chu Feng back.

Yun Bing and Chu Feng were very confused by the sudden teleportation, and the feast of lifeforms that was now laid up in front of them.

Zhang Lie didn't explain. Instead, he beckoned an equal number of superior- and peak-grade lifeforms over.

"You've both just ascended and have no gene fragments. I'll help you out with your superior and peak gene fragments, and you can deal with the regular and mutated ones yourselves."

Chu Feng blinked. Wasn't there something wrong with this order of acquiring fragments that Zhang Lie had suggested? Shouldn't they have started from regular gene fragments? They had just ascended to the third realm, and they were already acquiring superior and peak gene fragments...?

"Well, there's no choice. I don't have any regular- or mutated-grade lifeforms with me, so you'll have to hunt down low-quality trash in the future."

This strategy could only work for Zhang Lie and his subordinates; if anyone else dared to hunt down peak-grade lifeforms while having no regular or mutated gene fragments, they would surely die.

Yun Bing and Chu Feng were shocked but simultaneously delighted. This was a huge boon to them, and Yun Bing and Chu Feng were even more certain of their plan to follow Zhang Lie wherever he went.

Even after the three hunters finished acquiring all their gene fragments, there was still a huge pile of meat left. With Zhang Lie's agreement, the Yeluo warriors cooked it all and had a feast to celebrate the newcomers' arrival.
