Ultragene Warlord

Even so, the sword could only deal Sun Xiaowu a superficial cut.

Sun Xiaowu clasped his hands together around the blade, the image of a golden mecha flaring into existence.

"Break!"

With an audible crack, the silver blade broke from nothing but the strength of Sun Xiaowu's bare hands. Runes glowed with blinding energy that drowned out everything in sight.

Everyone was shocked by Sun Xiaowu's tremendous strength.

The woman in black shrieked. The fact that her trump card had been countered so easily, and by nothing more than a pair of palms, terrified and shocked her.

As Sun Xiaowu destroyed the blade, a black orchid appeared, cut in two. Medicinal fragrance filled the air as it shattered in a rain of light.

Suddenly, a giant beast appeared from behind, its bloodthirsty maw wide as it swallowed up the blossoming energy and converted it to divine light.

It had the body of a goat, the face of a human, the jaws of a tiger, and the claws of a dragon, like the legendary taotie of old.

The beast had been skulking around in the ancient hall, lying hidden by the side of the altar as it awaited an opportunity. Now that all the combatants had sustained some level of injury, it suddenly appeared out of nowhere, intending to devour everyone in sight.

"[Goldenscale Palm: Split]!"

Golden radiance struck. Sun Xiaowu's palms brimmed with golden light as a dense layer of golden scales covered his skin.

His divine armaments manifested on each scale, which was imbued with golden runes.

His aura suddenly shifted, and his right arm glowed with resplendent light.

An aura of intense strength emanated from the heavens.

Sun Xiaowu took a step forward, then punched with all his might, generating a dominating wave of genetic energy.

"[Light Dragon's Remnants]!"

Li Feng marshaled his genetic energy into the form of a large number of white dragons.

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

A sword flashed, the strike forming a long river through the skies. The genetic energy burst apart in a shower of droplets, the attacks infused with spatial force.

Three arrows, brimming with purple flame, flew forward like tracking missiles.

"[Lunarflame Shot]!" The three flaming arrows exploded in mid-air in a brilliant burst of fireworks.

With a low shout, Fang Yi dashed forward with his spear in hand. He launched his spear, crackling with wind and lightning, with incredible force.

The black spear sent wind howling and lightning flashing through the sky. With his spear, he invoked chaotic energy in the form of lightning and raging wind. The spear left hundreds of afterimages in its wake.

The spear left so many afterimages behind that it evoked a stream formed of wind, thunder, and light. The heavens burst apart in a waterfall of lightning.

A cultivator shot forward with a fist that lit up the heavens and dissipated all clouds in the vicinity.

Feng Xian formed seals with her hands. Her body was a series of afterimages; she looked like a divine bird swooping with wings outstretched, a frightening gale behind her.

The beast was forced back from the barrage of attacks, its bloodthirsty maw clamped shut.

A dragon's howl sundered the air as its claws swiped at Sun Xiaowu.

"[Golden Divide]!"

Sun Xiaowu unleashed a starlit slash, each star formed of the divine armaments that had melded into his blood. He cut apart the dragon's claws and rent its skin and flesh, leaving its shoulder raw and bloody.

Golden runes emerged from Sun Xiaowu's body and revolved around him as his aura grew stronger and stronger. As the golden runes merged with his genetic energy, Sun Xiaowu transformed into a mecha over a hundred meters tall. The golden runes surrounded Sun Xiaowu, turning him into a burning sun.

By another side of the altar, Fang Yi, Leiting Zi, and Leiting Ya's fight reached a fever pitch. The mutated Leiting Ya raged, attacking furiously without fear of death.

"[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, and his spear resonated with his genetic energy. The spear demonstrated shocking strength, infusing chaotic energy into the mix. During the heated battle, twenty wheels of time had formed by Fang Yi's back.

His [Tiger's Howl, Dragon's Bellow] was augmented to twenty times its original strength. It tore apart Leiting Ya's body in a burst of golden light.

Shattered fragments of flesh and blood could be seen as gold and green lightning crackled around Leiting Ya. His body was slowly stitched back together.

Leiting Ya boasted an incredible aura. Bathed in golden light, he looked like a martial god.

He had been reborn in calamity, in crisis, a resurrection in the midst of budding wind and storm. He absorbed the power of lightning, allowing his physical body to be blown to smithereens and leaving behind only a mental construct formed of lightning. This transformation made him even more dangerous than before.

"Thank you! If not for you, I would never have advanced to such a stage!"

Leiting Zi's eyes narrowed. "Be careful. Leiting Ya is at the peak of the path of lightning. This is a secret technique of the Leiting Domain—the construction of a lightning avatar from the death of one's physical body. Leiting Ya will only have grown stronger than before."

Fang Yi was shocked. "You even have techniques of this level of strength in the Leiting Domain?"

Leiting Zi bit his fingers. "This is one of the strongest techniques of the Leiting Domain, one that almost no one can master, including me. Infusing lightning into your very spirit is an act of madness. Even if your spirit can withstand it, your body would collapse."

Suddenly, as though understanding something, he continued, "I get it now. He mutated his body in preparation for this final step."

Leiting Ya's mutant body was like an eggshell that he had prepared for himself. What he was truly targeting was a lightning soul, an avatar formed of pure lightning.

"Mutated souls have greater resistance against the effect of lightning, leading to increased capacity. The lightning we gave off in battle has become nourishment for him. At the moment of death, as life turned to death, he freed himself from madness, from the cage that he built, surpassing his soul! Leiting Ya was planning this from the very beginning!"

Leiting Ya's palms glowed with light. A divine lance of lightning formed in the air. He caught it and pointed it at the sky, its tip so sharp that even Fang Yi was shocked.

Lightning arced through the air, engraving itself on the blade. This was no physical weapon, but rather a manifestation of lightning itself!

Leiting Ya smiled. "I took advantage of the nature of this virtual realm to deepen my understanding of one of the ultimate techniques of the Leiting Domain. However, my initial approach might not have borne fruit. It was only thanks to our client's advice that I figured out the solution with the highest chance of success. Most importantly, my lightning soul is something that I can bring back to the real world."
