Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1317: Absorbing the Six

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, he transformed into a ray of bloody light. He tore a path out of the five elemental breaths and flashed to the back of the giant dragon in the blink of an eye. He raked his bloody claws, slicing off another dragon's head.

[You successfully killed a disaster-grade frostfang dragon. By consuming the core of the disaster-grade frostfang dragon, you may receive one to ten disaster gene fragments.]

"A six-headed dragon, with each head an independent disaster-grade lifeform... just how was it made, I wonder?"

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

As Zhang Lie punched forward, a blood dragon roared in outrage and shot forward.

The four remaining heads sprayed out flames of four different elements.

A wave of annihilation exploded around the dragon. Pitch-black energy swallowed up everything in the vicinity like a storm at sea. The surroundings were consumed by the black-hole like energy of annihilation.

Zhang Lie swiftly fell back. The energy of annihilation was so intense and spread so quickly that even he might well be caught in its midst.

[You successfully killed a disaster-grade lightning dragon. By consuming the core of the disaster-grade lightning dragon, you may receive one to ten disaster gene fragments.]

After that explosion, there were only three dragon heads left, and the ones that still remained were battered and half-dead. The galewind dragon's spine had broken, and its head hung limply on its neck. Half of the darkbane dragon's head had been destroyed, leaving only the lightcrest dragon's head relatively intact. However, all three heads would quickly be destroyed—Zhang Lie had no intention of stopping here.

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

Black genetic energy burst forth from Zhang Lie, as though there were hundreds, thousands of dragons surging throughout his body.

A horde of dragons launched out of Zhang Lie's left arm as he expended half his genetic energy in one supercharged attack.

Howling with the force of thunder, the hundred dragons soared through the air.

They were fierce and domineering, and all hundred of them boasted the power of annihilation.

The three remaining dragon heads each sprayed out dragon's breath in an attempt to defend against the assault of hundreds of dragons. Zhang Lie hid among the black dragons, Guicang flashing in his hand. By the time the three dragon heads reacted, only two remained.

[You successfully killed a disaster-grade lightcrest dragon. By consuming the core of the disaster-grade lightcrest dragon, you may receive one to ten disaster gene fragments.]

"[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 world. Blood-colored frost appeared out of nowhere.

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 two remaining dragon heads continued to release their breath attack, killing the serpents close to them.

Zhang Lie suppressed them handily.

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

Pitch-black genetic energy filled the air.

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. Countless serpents swam across the raging sea as lightning flashed ominously overhead, a scene right out of an apocalypse.

As Zhang Lie struck, an underworld river hurtled into existence, roaring into the sea. The sword energy roiled like black waves. 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 dragon heads succumbed to the pressure of the endless ocean.

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

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

A dragon's roar shook the void as the pitch-black genetic energy turned blood-red. The underworld river roiled, forming a gigantic blood-colored hurricane which disintegrated the dragon's two heads in an explosion of terrifying force.

Crystalline shards flashed through the air as the will of the realm's voice rang out in Zhang Lie's head.

[You successfully killed a disaster-grade galewind dragon. By consuming the core of the disaster-grade galewind dragon, you may receive one to ten disaster gene fragments.]

[You successfully killed a disaster-grade darkbane dragon. By consuming the core of the disaster-grade darkbane dragon, you may receive one to ten disaster gene fragments.]

Zhang Lie had killed both remaining heads in one blow!

He collected the remaining disaster-grade cores on the ground. The six dragon heads' cores were each distinct.

Each was like a world representing the heads' provenance: a world of volcanoes, with cracked ground and flowing lava; a world filled with lightning strikes and storm winds; a world of ice and cold; a world of burning sun, glowing with blinding light; a world of pitch black, that seemed to absorb all incident light.

Zhang Lie cut his palm with his sword, then dripped blood onto the cores. The moment it touched the cores, the blood was quickly absorbed into their interior. They sucked up more and more of Zhang Lie's blood until it turned blood-red.

This time, Zhang Lie had to deal with six disaster-grade cores, not just one.

Clutching the crystalline, multicolored orbs in his hands, Zhang Lie felt a sense of unusual familiarity with the cores, as though they were extensions of his body.

Zhang Lie absorbed all six cores simultaneously.

Almost immediately, Zhang Lie took on the color of a boiled prawn. The energies in the disaster-grade cores gushed through his body, six different elements at once: flame, lightning, wind, frost, light, and darkness.

While he assimilated the disaster gene fragments into his body, Zhang Lie gave off stronger and stronger beams of light.
