Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1068: Beastslayer

"[Goldenscale Palm: Qilin]!" The golden mechas exploded with golden radiance. Their forms dissipated into motes of golden light, which shot toward Sun Xiaowu's own mecha and augmented it. ?It was as large as the falling sun. It bent its arms as golden energy shone from its body and illuminated the heavens.

Tens of thousands of clones merged into Sun Xiaowu's main body, and the countless activated copies of the technique merged into one.

Golden scales covered up Sun Xiaowu's arm as it grew thicker and thicker, and the image of a golden qilin appeared behind him.

In his mecha form, augmented by his thousand clones all stacked atop each other, the might of his golden qilin grew by at least fifty times, if not a hundred.

It grew so large that it was almost comparable in size to the mountainous beast. Sun Xiaowu's golden qilin was the size of a continent, and it scared all the inhabitants of the world who had never seen anything so massive.

As Sun Xiaowu swung his fists forward, the golden qilin soared into the air, its scales radiant and shining with golden light. As it basked in the golden skies, its aura grew so bright that it seemed as though a qilin god had descended on the world.

Its long whiskers floated in the air as golden clouds wrapped around his body. The qilin shone like a sun in its own right, so brightly it shocked even the ice queen, who was fighting against Sun Mengmeng in the distance.

The mountainous beast's single eye was a portrait of fear. It couldn't imagine how what seemed like an insignificant ant had managed to wound it to such an extent, nor how it could summon an imposing existence of almost the same size as itself.

The mountainous beast roared, once again shrouding itself in a blizzard as it charged forward. The golden qilin dodged, raking its claws over the beast's body.

The beast roared and swiped at it with a foot. The two humongous lifeforms began to wrestle with each other, sending chunks of ice flying.

The entire plain seemed to be about to crack. The beast's icy armor fell off layer by layer as it tussled with the golden qilin.

As its armor fell off, its speed and strength increased dramatically, as though a heavy burden had been lifted.

It began to rampage, suppressing the golden qilin with its enhanced strength and agility.

"Now's the time!" Sun Xiaowu had been waiting for precisely that moment during which the mountainous beast's defense was at its weakest.

He snapped his fingers, causing the golden qilin to release blinding radiance, so bright it dyed the entire white world golden.

The next moment, the golden qilin exploded. The ice beneath them cracked, vaporizing in an instant. The golden radiance swirled in the air, an imminent catastrophe.

The energy it contained swept over the world, sucking up countless chunks of ice.

Where the golden qilin had exploded, a wide pit remained, so large a continent could fit within. The ice that had formed the pit had been evaporated completely by the golden explosion, uncovering steaming earth. Anyone who saw the sight would have been horrified.

[You successfully killed the monarch-grade warbeast. By consuming the flesh of the monarch-grade warbeast, you may receive one to ten monarch gene fragments.]

Upon witnessing the golden explosion, the ice queen's expression crumbled. The warbeast she had placed her entire confidence in had been killed by Sun Xiaowu. She had believed that none would have been able to deal with the beast except for the king of keys and king of chaos alone—but Sun Xiaowu had done it, and he had done so easily.

The ice queen couldn't be more shocked.

"Don't you think you should be paying attention?"

While the ice queen was distracted, Sun Mengmeng took the opportunity to strike.

"[Netherworld's Torrential Flame]!" A frightening fan of flames poured out from Sun Mengmeng's bow, an attack far stronger than the moonlight she had summoned. The intensity of her technique shocked everyone.

"I'm your opponent!" The flames arced in the air and fell toward the battlefield in a waterfall.

The ice queen immediately snapped to her senses, shielding herself with ice and frost—but she was a step too late, and she barely avoided the worst of the damage. If not for the fact that she was an ethereal being, her face would be smudged with ash and dirt.

"[Lunarflame Shot: Ninefold Phantasmagoria]."

Sun Mengmeng's surroundings began to burn with dark red flames as she launched yet another attack. Nine purplish-black phoenixes rose around her and shot toward the ice queen, revolving around her as the ice queen converted the energy she had accumulated into a howling blizzard. The ice queen roared, "Don't think you'll get away with this!"

The blizzard smashed into the nine phoenixes, which burst apart into the most beautiful of black flowers amidst the stark white of the world.

"[Lunarflame Shot]!" Purplish-black flames gathered on Sun Mengmeng's bow once again, forming an arrow of pure black.

The image of a golden garuda, limned in black, appeared behind her. As she loosed her arrow, it seemed to transform into a beam of light, moving so quickly that it bypassed the constraints of time and space, as though it could penetrate anything.

The beam of light moved so quickly that the ice queen had no time to react. It pierced through her chest, causing black flames to ignite over her soul.

The burning sensation caused the ice queen to snarl in outrage.

She invoked the authority of the realm to suppress the flames. Activating her control over ice, she caused a huge chunk of ice to float up from the ground right before her, causing Sun Mengmeng to suck in her breath. Why hadn't she fallen yet? [Lunarflame Shot] had struck her directly!

With a wave of the ice queen's hand, the huge chunk of ice shot toward Sun Mengmeng, the size of a condominium. Sun Mengmeng leapt away from the impact, harnessing her genetic energy to burn the space around her with black flames, causing the temperature of the white world to rise rapidly...
