Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1285: The World\'s Blessing

Light began to shine from his body. He was surrounded by a glowing ball of light, and the skin beneath that was revealed was a pearlescent white, supple and smooth.

A spiritual glow suffused him. His bones cracked as they became even stronger and sturdier, taking on a metallic luster. A membrane of crystalline light formed over their surface, strengthening them, improving their ductility and hardness. His body was being reforged from the inside out and the outside in, as though becoming that of a deity.

Muscle, flesh, skin, and bone merged together in a flash of blinding light, which coalesced into a skin-like membrane that gave Zhang Lie a holy, immaculate appearance.

He looked like a man from the heavens above, one untouched and unsullied by mortal contact.

Membranes of diaphanous light brimmed with vitality.

In that transcendent state, time passed in the blink of an eye. He spent a week in meditation, freed of worry, freed of strife, freed of turmoil and dissonance. There he found an intrinsic joy.

Zhang Lie breathed out with a puff of light. The air that was sucked into his body took on the shape of dragons. He breathed with a particular rhythm, neither quick nor slow, ever following the pulse of the world.

The air that Zhang Lie inhaled took on the form of dragons. As he exhaled, those dragons coiled around his body and transformed into genetic energy. Behind Zhang Lie appeared swimming pale blue fish, an ink-black serpent, a resplendent golden tiger, a heavyset dragonturtle, a flaming hed lion, and an electrified wyrm.

These unusual manifestations and concentrated aura of genetic energy surrounding Zhang Lie made him seem mysterious indeed. The transformation of his physical body fused his flesh, organs, and bones together, combining them into a single entity.

After half a month passed by, Zhang Lie slowly opened his eyes. His pupils were bright and filled with vital energy, with a spiritual glow that made him look like a supernatural entity.

Spirituality illuminated him from within and without. He sat cross-legged like a deity, with a luminous haze surrounding him and seeping into his body.

The remaining dregs of potion evaporated in the sunlight and vanished, leaving behind the essence of divinity, as though an entire nebula had merged with Zhang Lie\'s body and was converted into even more astounding strength.

Zhang Lie howled, causing heaven and earth to quake. The barriers that Zhu had woven cracked like eggshells, then burst apart in a wave of energy that surged throughout the unified world.

A storm suddenly befell the world, so strong the heavens themselves quaked. Everyone turned subconsciously to Zhang Lie, only to find radiant light filling the skies and all sorts of celestial phenomena in effect.

In the draconian kingdom\'s palace, the draconian sage had been looking through some documents. He glanced in the direction of the disturbance and then squinted. Then, he sighed. "Zhang Lie, once again..."

In the Zongming kingdom, Li Zongming took one glance before ascribing the problem to Zhang Lie. "No one else could cause such a fuss."

The officials of the Lie kingdom were all shocked by the sudden quake. The former crown prince cried out, "What\'s going on?!"

The Lie king smiled and raised a hand. "Everyone, there\'s no need to worry. It must be the grandmaster at work. No one else could cause such a scene, not even the ruler of the realm herself."

The former crown prince sighed in relief. "The grandmaster? That\'s alright, then. Let\'s continue with our session of court, then."

One official seemed particularly flummoxed. "Your Majesty, do we need to be concerned by the grandmaster\'s actions? They\'re causing the entire world to quake..."

"If it affects the Lie kingdom, it might be somewhat problematic."

"I think we had better pay attention."

The Lie king rolled his eyes. "We\'d die of overwork if we had to pay attention to everything that Master did. I don\'t intend on doing anything so taxing; you\'re all welcome to do so if you\'d like."

The officials who had spoken hurriedly shut up.

The members of Team Zenith, sensing the overwhelming light, realized that it had to be Zhang Lie at once.

They glanced toward Jun Jiuxiao and Ye Xianchen, who were still training hard. Sun Mengmeng shouted, "The two of you had better work hard! Zhang Lie will be on his way here at any moment."

Jun Jiuxiao and Ye Xianchen did as they were told.

Li Qianlin stood right outside her door, staring at the colored lights filling the air in a daze. It felt that even the will of the world was congratulating Zhang Lie for his advancement.

She was happy for his success, but couldn\'t help but feel a pang of pain and desolation.

This meant that Zhang Lie was almost about to leave.

Zhang Lie had taken another great leap forward in his advancement. Runes floated beyond his body, and light radiated from him for thousands of meters. Behind Zhang Lie appeared swimming pale blue fish, an ink-black serpent, a resplendent golden tiger, a heavyset dragonturtle, a flaming red lion, and an electrified wyrm, manifestations of his [Ninecarp Transformation].

His cells and genes had morphed tremendously, and had unspooled into nebular clouds.

The structure of his new body was unlike the crystallized form of disaster-grade lifeforms, nor the galaxy-encompassing cells of those hunters with maxed monarch gene fragments. His atavistic body hadn\'t weakened him; rather, he seemed to be approaching the universal template from which all life was built.

His cellular structure alone differentiated him from ordinary hunters, and it wouldn\'t be an exaggeration to call Zhang Lie a new form of life, one which had never before appeared in the universe, a singular existence.

The metamorphosis didn\'t end there. The swimming pale blue fish, an ink-black serpent, a resplendent golden tiger, a heavyset dragonturtle, a flaming red lion, and an electrified wyrm, manifestations of his [Ninecarp Transformation], began to swirl around him.

The transformation to Zhang Lie\'s body was catalyzing the growth of his [Ninecarp Transformation]. Zhang Lie directed his remnant strength toward his framework, successfully breaking through to the next level as all his energy transformed into a huge egg.
