Chapter 1357: Stellar Dragon Transformation  

One of the lifeforms that struck at Zhang Lie was leonine, wreathed in fire all over, its mane like an inferno around its head. The other genetic lifeform was a fiery-red salamander. magic

Both genetic lifeforms were disaster-grade.

Zhang Lie extended his pointer finger like a sword, and water-attuned genetic energy coiled around it like a snake.

[The Boundless Blade: Expulsion]!"

Zhang Lie swung downwards with a heavy blow, striking down the leonine disaster-grade lifeform.

A raging shark swam forth and crashed against the fiery salamander in an explosion of steam.

"[Ninecarp Transformation]!"

A black serpent materialized behind Zhang Lie, by now so large and so developed that it resembled the world-swallowing serpent Jormungandr. It let out a threatening hiss as its scales clicked together.

Black genetic energy, thick and cloying like storm clouds, surrounded Zhang Lie.

The fiery lion emerged from the lava and shot out a bullet of lava from its mouth. It sizzled as it came into contact with the pitch-black genetic energy. The fire and heat began to dissolve on contact.

Meanwhile, the fiery salamander had broken past the superheated steam and had spat out a long tongue of flame.

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

Zhang Lie punched forward, and the black serpent shot forth through the flames, tangling with the salamander in a melee.

The fiery lion's mane blazed like an inferno. Its claws slashed forward with fiery light. Zhang Lie moved faster, kicking it aside with a leg.

As it was sent flying, the lion's mane began to rotate rapidly, and it spat out a blazing torrent of fire from its mouth. As Zhang Lie activated his monarch-grade limitless universe soulshard, he glowed with stellar radiance, like a burning star. Starlight flowed through his body in phantasmagorical colors.

Sun Mengmeng, watching from afar, was caught by the allure of the starlight.

The genetic hunters in the city were all shocked by Zhang Lie's demonstration. "What sort of soulshard would cause such a huge commotion..."

Zhang Lie's body transformed into a glaze of the dark cosmos, as though the Milky Way itself flowed through his body. His aura grew tremendously.

"I'm not finished!"

Zhang Lie simultaneously activated his dragonwolf soulshard. His russet fur seemed to glimmer with stellar radiance, each hair a shining star, as though he were draped with the entirety of the Milky Way. His four limbs were armored with a dragon's scales, each a burning golden sun. The two soulshards' power combined.

A dragon's horns grew out of Zhang Lie's forehead, shining with stellar radiance, surrounded by galactic starlight. To others, he would seem to have the boundless energy of a new galaxy. freewebnove(l)

Zhang Lie transformed into a beam of light. Stellar light tore apart the heavens as the flaming lion was bisected vertically. Zhang Lie shot through the air like a meteor.

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

Zhang Lie retrieved a flaming-red core from the lion's carcass.

The fiery salamander sacrificed its own flames to obliterate the serpent, but after the prolonged battle, much of its skin had sloughed away, leaving just its crystalline interior behind. If not for the fact that disaster-grade lifeforms had a crystalline interior, the serpent's poison would have been more than sufficient to take down the fiery salamander.

Before the fiery salamander could relax, however, Zhang Lie struck.

Starlight surrounded Zhang Lie. Countless stars whizzed away from his body. His pitch-black genetic energy seemed like the astral void, with shining stars scattered throughout.

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

His genetic energy condensed into a black dragon, whose scales were each a star. The stars inlaid in its body formed a long stellar river, transforming into a dragon that shot out alongside Zhang Lie's punch.

The fiery salamander, whittled down to half its original size, rushed toward the lava. As long as it were able to submerge itself within the lava, it would be able to hide and save its life.

Zhang Lie, however, seemed to have predicted its actions. He was waiting where it was running towards, smiling and waving at it, causing the fiery salamander to despair. Right then and there, Zhang Lie's arm punched through its head, and the will of the fourth realm's voice rang out.

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

As he retrieved the disaster-grade core from the lava salamander, the entire sea of lava began to shake. As though it had been given life, the lava soared into the sky and surrounded Zhang Lie from all over. Black genetic energy burst forth from Zhang Lie, as though there were hundreds, thousands of dragons surging throughout his body.

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

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 stellar dragons soared through the air, tearing apart the lava that surrounded Zhang Lie.

The lava swirled in a whirlpool and transformed into a face whose voice was like the eruption of a volcano.

"I remember you."

This was a very familiar scene indeed.

The lava face said, "You are the killer of my brothers."

Indeed...

"Cthaat's son."

The lava face continued, "Father has ordered me to take revenge for my brothers. I headed north, destroying any settlement of cockroaches I came across. I thought it would take me longer to find you, but you've saved me quite a lot of time!"

Initially, Cthaat's son hadn't recognized Zhang Lie—not because of any changes to Zhang Lie's face, but because this particular son of Cthaat wasn't good at recognizing faces. To it, all the genetic hunters were like ants, which it couldn't tell apart.

Zhang Lie laughed. "I killed your brother? Which one? I seem to have killed quite a few of your brothers."

"I'll kill you!"

The lava rose up. Rows of crimson lava flowed toward Zhang Lie, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves. The lava was as a horn to action, and the waves, thousands of courageous soldiers heeding its call.

Zhang Lie snapped his fingers, causing the stellar dragons to self-destruct.

The stellar dragons all exploded, each with the force of a galaxy. A huge wave of energy spread out around him, forming a black hole that swallowed up everything in sight. The energy of annihilation ate at the lava, devouring it all. A shriek could be heard from the formless being whose body was being consumed bit by bit. Countless lifeforms that had been within the lava were likewise sucked in and destroyed.
