Ultragenic Warlord

Chapter 1093: Many Hands

"[The Boundless Blade: Yawning Wave]!" Zhang Lie extended his pointer finger like a sword, and water-attuned genetic energy gathered around it. As he waved his finger, sword energy erupted like a wave, accompanied by a giant shark.

Yang Ze released a second gigantic dragonwhale. The pale-blue dragonwhale merged together with the sharks, forming an unusual combination that possessed the unique features of each lifeform.

The attack pierced through the gray fluid and exploded deep within the abyssal trenches, sending pale blue genetic energy surging. A huge hole formed in the trenches, from which more gray fluid poured out.

"[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.

Just as Zhang Lie was about to attack, Yang Ze stopped him. "Captain, please let me handle it!"

Water-attuned genetic energy surged forth from Yang Ze, like a roaring sea. "The Boundless Blade: Sea Serpent]!"

With a wave of Yang Ze's sword, water-attuned genetic energy manifested in the form of a giant serpent, pale blue in color, with gills on either side of its body, its scales like crystalline shards of ice. It surged forward, swiping its claws. Genetic energy burst forth, scattering the gray fluid before it.

Even so, the gray fluid continued pouring out of the abyssal trenches, seemingly in limitless portions.

Yang Ze frowned. "Can the king of evil really be killed?"

Zhang Lie replied, "Your attacks aren't strong enough. Would you like some assistance?"

Yang Ze wasn't so stubborn as to refuse help. He accepted immediately.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!" Zhang Lie punched forward, and the black serpent behind him shot forth.

At the same time, Yang Ze sent out his sea serpent. The two serpents shot forward, piercing through the gray fluid and exploding amidst the abyssal trenches.

As the gray fluid flew through the air, Zhang Lie and Yang Ze both shielded themselves with an arm. Zhang Lie flashed forward and charged toward the abyssal trenches, and Yang Ze hurriedly followed suit.

The depths of the abyss were so filled with concentrated stench that an ordinary hunter might have fainted from it. Gray fluid squirmed within.

The fluid that made up the king of evil's body roiled. More and more mutated growths and abominations were visible within the main body's flesh, crying out shrilly. They tried to escape—before they were swallowed back into the interior of the fluid and digested.

That gray fluid surged forth from all around them, as though trying to swallow Zhang Lie up.

As Zhang Lie activated his blood ant and dragonwolf soulshards, he transformed into a dragonwolf with russet fur and limbs covered with dragons' scales. His aura became magnified as a hurricane of blood spawned around him.

Zhang Lie's punches, imbued with genetic energy, caused the gray fluid approaching from all directions to explode.

Zhang Lie began, "I haven't seen any other combatants around. Could the only living entity in the unclean world be the king of evil?"

Zhang Lie was deep within the abyssal trenches; the king of evil should have dispatched his strongest forces by now, if any existed.

Zhang Lie hypothesized, "Could the king of evil have devoured them all?"

Yang Ze's face turned pale. "Don't say something so disgusting. It really might be possible!"

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!" As Zhang Lie punched forward, the blood dragon roared in outrage and shot forward.

The blood dragon smashed apart layer after layer of gray fluid, but even more poured out of the abyssal trenches to replace what was lost. The blood dragon ended up being encased by the fluid.

Subsequently, a wave of annihilation exploded around the dragon. Pitch-black energy swallowed everything in the vicinity like a storm at sea, causing the gray fluid to explode.

The pitch-black energy formed a black hole that devoured its surroundings. The gray fluid was sucked in completely. Large numbers of the malformed creatures within cried and screeched, but no matter how they struggled, they were unable to break free from the destruction caused by the energy of annihilation.

As that energy continued to spread outward, even Zhang Lie and Yang Ze were forced to step back.

The energy of annihilation swallowed up the abyssal trenches. It devoured everything in sight, including ancient rocks and boulders. Everything appeared powerless in comparison.

The king of evil tried to prevent its spread, but the energy of annihilation was more intense than even it had given it credit for. The gray fluid continued to be sucked up and devoured, canceling out the king of evil's millennia of growth and evolution.

The king of evil continued creating more of the gray fluid, birthing even more malformed creatures, trying to exhaust all the energy of annihilation, without realizing that the energy of annihilation couldn't be satisfied.

The unclean world was steadily trending toward destruction. Without any other recourse, the king of evil was forced to flee from the swelling waves of energy—but Zhang Lie and Yang Ze weren't about to let their prey escape so easily.

"[The Boundless Blade: Nine-Headed Hydra]!" Genetic energy exploded from Yang Ze and manifested in the form of a nine-headed hydra, each head breathing out a beam of sword energy to prevent the king of evil's escape.

The malformed creatures continued to screech.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Hundred Dragons Soaring]!" A horde of over a hundred black 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, a horde of over a hundred blood dragons flew toward the king of evil, directed by Zhang Lie's punch. They were fierce and domineering, and all hundred of them boasted the power of annihilation.

The storm caused by the energy of annihilation spread further and further inland. Zhang Lie and Yang Ze had brought destruction and calamity to the unclean world, causing the entire world to be encapsulated by a pitch-black storm, which had continued to spread more and more rapidly.

The attack left a huge pit in the ground of the unclean world, so large it might as well be a basin.

No longer did gray fluid continue to well up from the abyssal trenches. Zhang Lie and Yang Ze landed on the ground to find remnants of gray fluid still squirming around, with malformed creatures within trying to break free.

Zhang Lie unsheathed Guicang. "We'd better clean up."

Yang Ze gathered his water-attuned genetic energy, turning the air ice-cold. Crystalline lotuses formed all around him, freezing the gray fluid solid. Subsequently, he cleaned up the frozen chunks. Meanwhile, Zhang Lie took a chunk of fluid and infused his genetic energy into it to identify where the other remnants were.

After all, the gray fluid formed part of the king of evil's body, and it would be possible to sense the rest of the king of evil through it. However, there were quite a number of morsels of gray fluid around, and they were all hiding in difficult-to-reach places. Dealing with them all would be no small task.
