Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1505: Just a Bit More

The electric wings to Chang Ming's back gave off huge quantities of lightning, each infused with temporal might. They were incredibly quick. When the sharks were struck by lightning, they exploded in mid-air.

Yang Ze used fog to hide the spatial fluctuations that resulted as he teleported across the void and closed in on his opponent.

"[The Boundless Blade: Dragonwhale]!"

In the blink of an eye, Yang Ze was surrounded by a patch of ocean.

The lapping of waves echoed through the battlefield. They grew and grew, reaching a crescendo and rising into the sky like a tsunami, manifesting in the form of a huge whale.

The whale's body was long and streamlined, with long whiskers and scales patterning its body.

Yang Ze attacked so rapidly that Chang Ming was only able to defend. He had no choice but to raise his arms and shield his head in a corona of brilliant light.

Water-attuned genetic energy erupted in the form of waves that shot all around him.

Chang Ming bore the brunt of the waves, his arms turning numb from the impact, as his fighting intent shattered.

Time seemed to reverse its flow rapidly.He firmly believed that he could easily win against any cultivator of his generation with this technique from the Undying Hill.

The Undying Hill's technique was mysterious and able to affect others by manipulating the passage of time, but Yang Ze shielded himself with layers of space that prevented any such distortion.

"[The Boundless Blade: Sea Serpent]!"

Yang Ze's sword morphed into a sea serpent, pale blue in color, with gills on either side of its body, its scales like crystalline shards of ice. It shot forward.

Chang Ming was surrounded by radiant dawn. Divine flames filled his body, and he held a sword of bone in his hand. Lightning crackled in the air and shot down at Yang Ze.

The electric arcs interwove densely with each other like a spiderweb. In an ear-splitting crack, lightning splintered and the sword energy erupted. Divine flames rose into the air, and a fiery dawn illuminated the heavens.

Yang Ze howled. His hair drifted in the air, his eyes supercharged with lightning. Space seemed to transform into a pool of black water, rippling as it spread out, submerging the entire island. This was a technique that Yang Ze had intuited upon watching Xing Yu and Fang Yi's fight based on one of Xing Yu's space-oriented techniques. Compared to Xing Yu's spatial screen, it was even more subtle and exquisite.

Chang Ming found his vision obscured, as though he had been submerged deep in the sea. Pressure surrounded him on all fronts as his motion slowed and energy was sapped from his body. His bone sword struck nothing, his slash delayed from Yang Ze's technique.

Chang Ming had rich combat experience from years upon years of fighting, and his combat awareness was particularly sensitive. Even without seeing the strike clearly, he could sense the killing intent that emerged from Yang Ze's body. He blocked with an arm, which Yang Ze chopped off in a burst of blood that dyed the black water red.

"Die!"

Yang Ze shouted. Within the pitch-black sea, only he could see everything clearly.

Chang Ming's bone sword swept horizontally through the source of the sound; then, without even waiting to see what the result of his attack was.

Chang Ming was right to do so. His bone sword did strike Yang Ze, but it passed straight through his body. Within Yang Ze's deepsea domain, heavy restrictions were imposed on all of Chang Ming's actions.

Despite the fact that Chang Ming had made the right decision and responded quickly. Even so, within the deepsea domain, with his actions restricted, his movement slowed, his stamina sapped, he was unable to do a thing. Meanwhile, Yang Ze smashed his face in with a kick, shattering his cheek bone and loosening six or seven teeth from his gums.

Of course, that wasn't it. Yang Ze's kick was infused with tremendous strength. Even Chang Ming's skull was cracked, a frightening wound that dripped with blood.

Chang Ming shot divine flames out of his body to protect his head as he retreated arduously.

This was insulting and humiliating—Yang Ze had managed to kick his mouth in, sending his teeth flying! His face was burning in pain and shame.

All this happened in a flash as the two combatants separated from one another.

Chang Ming lifted his hand as his eyes shone with ardor. Lightning shone in his palms.

It crackled and shot toward Yang Ze as the spectators retreated.

"[The Boundless Blade: Nine-Headed Hydra]!"

Genetic energy exploded from Yang Ze and manifested in the form of a nine-headed hydra,

The hydra's heads each sprayed out a burst of sword energy composed of water-attuned genetic energy that mimicked a gold attunement. The attacks were impossible to deflect.

The nine rays of sword energy shattered the lightning as Yang Ze dashed forward. Chang Ming's bone sword passed through Yang Ze, followed by the rest of Chang Ming's body.

Chang Ming: !

What was going on? The next moment, Chang Ming understood what had happened. Behind Yang Ze was a huge nine-headed dragon, each dragon head large and fierce, with sharp teeth that tore Chang Ming apart instantly.

In Zhang Lie's team, Zhou Ying and Li Feng weren't the only strong hunters. Yang Ze was equally strong, though he rarely revealed the extent of his skill.

Li Feng, who had slain the Immortal King's substitute, was imposing enough a foe—and then Yang Ze showed up, defeating his opponent with a series of sinister techniques that caused the cultivators to shiver in fear.

Most frighteningly, these stellar hunters all viewed Zhang Lie as their leader. Just how strong did Zhang Lie have to be to make such strong cultivators submit to him?

Zhang Lie's gaze swept over all the gathered cultivators as he smirked, as though mocking them all. All of you present are trash.

The cultivators were naturally upset, but that only made them even more fearful of attacking him. For Zhang Lie to dare to do so despite the steep numerical disadvantage was testament to his strength.

Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith left with carefree spirits as the cultivators instinctively made way.

Zhou Ying glanced at the other members of Team Zenith. "Almost all of us have gathered. We're just missing Sun Xiaowu and Sun Mengmeng."

"We don't have to search for Sun Xiaowu," Yang Ze said.

Zhou Ying cocked her head. "What happened to him?"

"He entered the core before we did."

"What? How disloyal! He didn't even wait for us."

Despite Zhou Ying's words, she had a smile on her face.

Yang Ze placed both palms on the back of his head. "It's a good thing in the end. After all, the bone talismans that guarantee you entry to the core are difficult to find, and the only ones among us present who might be able to secure one by killing enough cultivators are Captain and Fang Yi."

Fang Yi had taken down quite a fair number of cultivators while he was being targeted, and the Stargods had essentially given him free points. The mark on the back of his hand had grown significantly larger.

Fang Yi shook his head. "I'm still lacking a bit."

Li Feng raised his hand. "Even with the Immortal King's substitute giving me points, I'm still lacking a bit as well."

Yang Ze said, "We only have two bone talismans right now. If I and Zhou Ying claim one each, we won't have one for Sun Mengmeng."

Just as the hunters were about to leave, a burst of light exploded right in front of them. Everyone was stunned.

"What in the world?"
