Ultragene Warlord

body was covered by a thick, sturdy shell, and four claws grew out where a turtle ’s flippers would be.
Its skin looked like a starry sky.
Seawater revolved around it, as though the ocean itself was submitting to its presence.
It was the tyrant of the whirlpool strait, the hegemon of the entire sea, the legend that swallowed the sun and stars.

It opened its mouth and shot a golden beam of light at Zhang Lie.

His eyes wide, Zhang Lie ’s body split into dozens of clones.
The golden light scoured the entire ocean before exploding over a nautical mile away.
It vaporized part of the sea instantly.
A wave of superheated water vapor smashed into Zhang Lie from the back, and he turned to see a cloud of steam rising into the air.

The golden light left a deep furrow over the surface of the sea for minutes afterwards.

Zhang Lie ’s lips quirked into a smile.
”Not bad, not bad! ”

He knew that oceanic lifeforms were stronger than terrestrial ones.
After his battle with the nine-headed sea cucumber, he estimated that they were roughly 30% stronger, but he hadn ’t expected an oceanic disaster-grade lifeform to be so much stronger.

The whirlpool tyrant opened its mouth again.
Its starry skin seemed to glow and shift rapidly as stellar radiance shot toward Zhang Lie like a thunderstorm, the brightness so piercing that it filled the entirety of Zhang Lie ’s vision.

”[Blade of the Heavens: the Sea Swells]! ” But Zhang Lie didn ’t fear the attack.
Energy poured out of him in waves, honing the edge of his blade.
The pulses of energy struck the realm like a tsunami, devouring everything within.

Zhang Lie ’s attack clashed against the stellar beams.
The force was such that the very sea parted in two, forming a front where the attacks clashed against each other.

Gleaming light honed the edge of Zhang Lie ’s sword, and a beam of sword energy rose into the air.
Zhang Lie continued pouring more and more genetic energy into the technique, until it shot up a thousand meters high into the air.

The whirlpool tyrant then expelled a beam of red light, one so scorching-hot steam trailed its path along the sea.
This was surely the essence of the sunset, part of the strength that the whirlpool tyrant had accumulated over the years.

”[First Form: Parting the River]! ” As Zhang Lie ’s sword technique clashed against the red beam, a large quantity of seawater evaporated as steam.

Zhang Lie ’s technique might have been able to part a river, but not the sun.
That said, the whirlpool tyrant ’s attack was hardly as strong as the sun, and Zhang Lie ’s own strength eclipsed his technique ’s.

With a loud shout, Zhang Lie infused more and more genetic energy into his blade, until he was able to split the beam in two.
The energy whizzed around him and exploded to his back, sending his hair and clothes fluttering.

Sensing that its attack had failed, the whirlpool tyrant tried to duck back underwater.

”I won ’t let you run off! [Shadow and Light]! ” Zhang Lie ’s blade gleamed brightly as it cut across time and space, and he appeared right behind the whirlpool tyrant.

The tyrant reacted near-instantaneously.
As Zhang Lie emerged, it tried to sweep him away with its tail.

”[Rune: Control]! ” Zhang Lie raised an arm into the air and sent the gravity and anti-gravity tablets crashing down by the tyrant ’s side…
