Ultragene Warlord

The scarlet hornless dragon stared at Zhang Lie with cold eyes. Its crystalline, resplendent body hurtled back. The entire world seemed to shift with its movements.

Its body glowed with one resplendent rune after another, a true dragon's mark, imbued with the essence of the arcane, of mysteries beyond measure.

However, Zhang Lie didn't know whether this was innate to the dragon, or if the master of these trials had created this genetic lifeform artificially.

For a moment, a divine chanting could be heard from the skies, shaking the heavens as all things hummed in resonance. The sound doubled, then trebled in volume. Ripples and echoes surged toward Zhang Lie.

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.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"

A crystal wall appeared behind Zhang Lie, reflecting light in five colors, so dazzling it dazed any who looked at it, so beautiful it sparked their desire.

As Zhang Lie manipulated space, that crystalline genetic energy shot out of the wall behind him in the form of sharp daggers, in a rain of crystals that were able to penetrate anything thanks to Zhang Lie's mastery of space.

They tore apart space and sky, shooting into the air like raindrops in a thunderstorm, deflecting the ripples that emanated from the scarlet hornless dragon.

Zhang Lie sparred against the scarlet dragon, clashing once and again, before both combatants were sent flying back. With a huge rumble and crash, a scarlet claw struck the ground with the force of a mountain range. Light flooded heaven and earth.

Zhang Lie roared, his eyes glowing with light.

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 two combatants fought like ancient beasts, tearing apart mountain and landscape, heaven and earth. The world itself quivered as it observed their battle.

Man and beast alike were radiant in their might, surrounded with glowing runes that burned incandescent, so brightly that no one would be able to observe the scene directly.

The scarlet hornless dragon sent its tail sweeping forward like a steel whip, causing the void itself to creak. The runes surged forward like waves, astoundingly strong.

Zhang Lie leapt up and dodged the blow. At the same time, he kicked at the dragon from above, his right leg sweeping past the dragon's skull and overwhelming the dragon with burning golden light.

The dragon blocked the leg with one claw, then struck at Zhang Lie's heel with the other, intending to root him and smite him on the spot. Its eyes glimmered with intelligence and sharpness.

Zhang Lie snorted. His right leg landed on the dragon's arm as his other leg struck its skull, bearing down on the dragon with his entire body.

The scarlet dragon caught Zhang Lie's leg and was just about to knock him to the ground when Zhang Lie rooted himself in the void, rendering himself immobile. At the same time, his palms, radiating with golden light, pressed toward the dragon's skull.

The dragon roared. A wave of energy swept past the dragon, who was forced to loosen its hold.

[Fists of the Silent Sea: Hundred Dragons Soaring]!

As Zhang Lie cocked his fist, dozens of crystalline dragons formed behind his back, roaring in unison and causing the sky to tremble.

The next moment, they shot out through his fists, causing hundreds of crystalline dragons to weave through the skies in a stunning, dazzling display.

The scarlet dragon knocked each one down with a frenzied swipe of its claws, then its tail, leaving countless crystalline shards falling to the ground.

Zhang Lie snuck through the group of crystalline dragons and struck the scarlet hornless dragon in a massive rumble of force.

The scarlet dragon hadn't expected Zhang Lie's sneak attack and was suppressed as Zhang Lie took the initiative. Zhang Lie soared toward the dragon from above, smashing into its body and causing the ground to crack where he stood.Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs ɴovᴇlꜰɪre.ɴet

A huge hole was blasted into the ground. With his opponent incapacitated, Zhang Lie pummeled it with his bare hands. The scarlet dragon was struck with devastating blows. Its claws bled with blood, its chest torn open.

Zhang Lie flipped it over, then kicked it with a foot and sent its body flying into the distance. Its body was chipped and cracked, with crystalline shards scattered all over the air. The scarlet dragon had never before suffered such serious injuries.

It agonizingly crawled up and charged forward. Zhang Lie met it head-on with vicious attacks. The scarlet dragon howled, its radiant body tangling around Zhang Lie like a serpent winding its body around a mountain peak.

It opened its bloody maw wide, its teeth sharp and white, as it bit down on Zhang Lie with the intent of swallowing him whole.

In this time of crisis, Zhang Lie summoned Guicang before him and impelled it to penetrate the scarlet dragon's eye.

The scarlet dragon screeched in pain, its body suddenly loosening, allowing Zhang Lie to escape. The stars shook as incredible genetic fluctuations emanated from Zhang Lie. He transformed into a being as radiant as the sun itself, shooting out rays of blinding light that were as sharp as edged blades. The scarlet dragon screamed again as its scales and crystalline shards were pried apart and flung into the air.

Zhang Lie emerged radiant and resplendent like a god, his entire body gleaming. With a clap of his palms, the stars exploded.Enraged, the dragon roared again and swiped at Zhang Lie. Such was the bloody fight between the two combatants.

Zhang Lie reached out for Guicang, still embedded in the dragon's eye.

The moment his hands touched its hilt, his aura changed, as did the world's.

"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!"

Zhang Lie raised the blade in his hand high into the air, encircled by black genetic energy. The temperature of the air dropped to sub-zero values, and a strong wind buffeted the two combatants present. Blood-colored frost appeared around them.

An underworld river materialized in the air. As though the doors to hell had just been thrown open, tens of thousands of serpents rushed out in a flood.

The scarlet dragon shrieked and struggled as its body corroded under the assault of tens of thousands of black serpents.

Just then, Zhang Lie struck again.

"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!"

Waves surged forward, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves.

The surface of the sea frothed with angry waves, like dragons emerging with the tide. The entire sea roiled, and lightning crackled amidst the void.
