Ultragene Warlord

"[Dance of the Incandescent Wyrm]!"

Dozens of dragons brimming with light spawned on the battlefield, clashing against the sea of sword energy.

The skies shook; the ground rumbled.

"Oh? That cultivator from the Netherworld has met a match at long last!"

"That's Gui Jianmo of the Netherworld. He's incredibly strong. Who could have stopped him?"

The Netherworld was a particularly frightening place, and this confrontation drew the attention of many spectators, all of whom were staring avidly.

Li Feng had to admit that Gui Jianmo was a strong opponent, one who would be much more difficult to face than the other opponents he had encountered prior, even the ninth Immortal King. Netherworld light shimmered around him, corroding his genetic energy.

"Someone managed to defend against Gui Jianmo?"

The two sides fought each other to a standstill, even after hundreds of rounds had elapsed. Li Feng's performance shocked the spectators.

"Gui Jianmo of the Netherworld is no ordinary cultivator, and he slew a large number of competitors in his own right, including ones similar to Coruscant Sun. How could he be unable to take down the cultivator before him?"

In the sky, an arclight dragon appeared, forcibly dissipating the black netherworld light surrounding Gui Jianmo. Li Feng punched forward.

After they had exchanged three hundred blows, Gui Jianmo coughed out blood as he was forced to retreat, badly hurt.

"[Arclight Dragon's Imprint[!"

Li Feng waved his left arm, around which a torrent of light-attuned genetic energy was gathering. It took the form of a gigantic dragon's claw, bearing down on the enemy like a beam of light.

"Hand over the inheritance!"

The son of lightning shot forward, his aura charged. A thick bolt of lightning fell from the skies.

Li Feng was about to take on this new opponent when Fang Yi shot forward in a beam of lightning, surrounded by wind and storm. "This is my opponent. Don't interfere!"

"[Wheel of Time]!"

Fang Yi's spear took on the aspects of time and age. Temporal winds buffeted the spear, and a mysterious light began to circle the spear like lightning.

A wheel of light appeared behind Fang Yi, taking on the form of a clock.

The bell tolled as the two cultivators fought in the air, their domains demarcated with lightning. Fang Yi hadn't fully recovered from the exhaustion of his technique, but the son of lightning hadn't recovered from his injuries, either. Both cultivators were unable to fight at full strength and stuck in a stalemate.

Suddenly, divine radiance seeped out from Fang Yi.

A small shard of rock sprayed out radiant light from within his body. It was blue one moment, royal purple the next, and ink black a moment later. Mysterious shades of light filled the land.

Fang Yi's soul lit up, illuminating the entire virtual realm. The aura was expansive, dark, chaotic, and rampaging; it was grand and all-encompassing. All of it stemmed from that mysterious stone.

Fang Yi's domain of time glimmered brightly again.

"Stone of counteracting fate!"

Fang Yi's glowing body revealed the stone of counteracting fate. What it gave off wasn't radiant light, but rather formless energy—not a curse, and instead more like an extreme sense of willpower. It felt as though there were countless figures surrounding Fang Yi, roaring and screaming in defiance.

The stone of counteracting fate was tetrahedral in shape and significantly smaller than the stone of starlit fate that Xing Yu had displayed.

Fang Yi's wounds were rapidly closing up. His skin, hair, and bones shone with light.

Fang Yi's eyes were focused, his muscles bunched up, his flesh and blood glimmering with strength. It was as though his body was composed of a series of furnaces that provided him with neverending energy.

Fang Yi's sudden use of the stone of counteracting fate allowed him to immediately turn the fight in his favor. His spear pierced through the son of lightning's body and ended this fight.

"[The Boundless Blade: Ersatz Yawning Wave]!"

A sword flashed, the strike forming a long river through the skies. The ripples pushed the cultivators in the vicinity back.

Amidst the crowd of cultivators, Yang Ze shouted, "What are you waiting for? Do you want to die?"

While the cultivators were still gobsmacked by the two incredible fights close by, Yang Ze made his move. He created a path for Zhang Lie and Fang Yi, forcing the other cultivators to step back.

He shouted, "Run! What are you waiting for?!"

Zhang Lie shouted, "Hurry!"

The other cultivators belatedly came to their senses. One of them shouted, "They have the bone talisman!"

"[Light's Bulwark: Draconic Fist]!"

Li Feng clenched his fist. His right arm, clad with light, was covered with scales. The scales began to move as an arclight dragon materialized, howled, and rushed forward.

"[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. As it flipped over, pale-blue genetic energy exploded and transformed into a howling tempest, pushing back all cultivators in the vicinity.

"[Tiger's Howl, Dragon's Bellow]!"

Fang Yi's spear took on the aspect of a dragon of the winds and a storm tiger as he charged forward.

Wind and storm roared around him, resonating with his genetic energy and transforming into a chaotic dragon of wind and a chaotic tiger of lightning.

Fang Yi, Li Feng, and Yang Ze stood in a triangular formation protecting Zhang Lie. No one could close in on them.

When the cultivators saw that they were no match for the hunters of Team Zenith, they shouted from afar, "You've been surrounded. You won't be able to run. Hand over the bone talisman!"

"Resistance is futile. I know you're confident in your own strength, but against this many people, there's no chance you'll be able to get away. Hand over the bone talisman. As long as you don't do anything extraneous, I'll guarantee that you can make it out."

"There's only one bone talisman, and only one person can enter the land of inheritance. There's no need for all of you to die together."

"Don't harm your companions out of your own greed!"

"None of you will be able to escape. We've surrounded you!"

"Not even a mosquito would be able to fly out."

Yang Ze asked, "Captain, do you have any trump cards? It's time to show your strength."

Zhang Lie smiled confidently. "Don't worry. When have I ever disappointed you? Just sit tight and watch."
