Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1328: Aforgomon

"No matter what your power is, I\'ll be able to overcome it with brute strength!"

Zhang Lie condensed his genetic energy. Sharp white crystals floated around his body.

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

As Zhang Lie cocked his fist, dozens of crystalline dragons formed behind his back, roaring in unison and causing the sky to tremble. The next moment, they shot out through his fists, causing hundreds of crystalline dragons to weave through the skies in glowing radiance.

They pierced through space and time as Aforgomon continued to evade them time and again.

Just then, a chilling flash took place as Zhang Lie leapt over the crystalline dragons and slashed at Aforgomon with Guicang.

Aforgomon waved its hand, sending a two-dimensional cut back at him even as it was forced to defend against the barrage of attacks from hundreds of crystalline dragons from all directions.

"[The Boundless Blade: Yawning Wave]!"

Pale blue genetic energy flooded the arena like a waterfall. A sword slash struck at Aforgomon in conjunction with the hundreds of dragons in an explosion of water and crystalline shards. As the crystalline powder spread through the air, one of Aforgomon\'s arms and half its body exploded.

"As expected." Zhang Lie had seen through Aforgomon\'s trick. It wasn\'t able to manipulate space and time; all it could do was control the trajectories of projectiles.

This was why it had been unable to defend against Zhang Lie\'s barrage of attacks completely. The density of attacks forced it to only misdirect them to avoid its vitals, losing an arm and half its body in exchange.

"Perhaps I would find it more challenging if it were here in person."

Being able to manipulate trajectories was already an extremely annoying skill to deal with. All attacks had trajectories; none could simply arise out of thin air. Such an ability would be able to handle the vast majority of attacks.

"No wonder it survived Radiant Sun\'s ultimate attack unscathed..."

Compared to the cat, Aforgomon was far stronger, and had managed to survive Radiant Sun\'s onslaught fully, without any tricks.

Its incredible defense and two-dimensional cuts for offense was far more than sufficient to rank it among the top hunters of the fourth realm.

"It would have been a difficult fight with your actual body around, but an eidolon at 30% of peak strength is nothing compared to me. I would be far too weak and laughable if I couldn\'t even defeat that."

"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!"

Zhang Lie raised the blade in his hand high into the air, encircled by black genetic energy. The temperature of the air dropped to sub-zero values, and a strong wind buffeted the two combatants present.

An underworld river materialized in the air. As though the doors to hell had just been thrown open, tens of thousands of serpents rushed out in a flood.

Aforgomon raised its mostly-whole arm and snipped at the underworld river.

However, the river itself was composed of countless netherworld serpents, and as long as they weren\'t all simultaneously defeated, the river couldn\'t be stalled.

The serpents rushed forward in a flood. Aforgomon\'s countless eyes redirected their paths and motion, preventing them from closing in on it.

"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!"

Waves surged forward, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves. The surface of the sea frothed with angry waves, like dragons emerging with the tide. The entire sea roiled, and lightning crackled amidst the void. Countless serpents swam across the raging sea as lightning flashed ominously overhead, a scene right out of an apocalypse.

As Zhang Lie struck, an underworld river hurtled into existence, roaring into the sea. The sword energy roiled like black waves. The sea had morphed into a boundless battlefield. The sea breeze was as a horn to action, and the serpents, thousands of courageous soldiers heeding its call.

Aforgomon was able to deal with a single underworld river, but what about an entire underworld ocean? It would be impossible for Aforgomon to manipulate such a large quantity of serpents at once, and it would easily be overwhelmed.

Aforgomon\'s cutout figure trembled. Many cuts appeared over its body, which were mirrored in the space around itself. Countless two-dimensional cuts pierced through the underworld ocean, killing a large number of black serpents.

"[The Boundless Blade: Dragon\'s Wrath]!" Guicang unleashed a barrage of sword energy in the form of a blood dragon.

A dragon\'s roar shook the void as the pitch-black genetic energy turned blood-red. The underworld river roiled, forming a gigantic blood-colored hurricane.

The blood dragon\'s sword slash tore apart space and time, suppressing Aforgomon\'s cuts. A blood twister formed, heading straight for Aforgomon like a meat grinder.

Zhang Lie, hidden amidst the twister, slashed forward. Guicang pierced through Aforgomon\'s two-dimensional figure.

"[First Form: Parting the River]!"

Bright sword energy radiated from Zhang Lie like brilliant rays of sunlight, illuminating the heavens.

A frightening force descended, energy rumbling and rippling around him. He shattered Aforgomon\'s body from within, turning it into nothing more than crystalline shards that filled the air.

Zhang Lie sheathed his sword. "Aforgomon is interesting, but it likely wouldn\'t have survived Radiant Sun\'s triple bird attack."

Bu Wentian rolled his eyes. "Do you think everyone can clear the sixth trial as easily as you can? It just barely managed to make it—but of course, even that was a better performance than the half-dead Bast displayed. Otherwise, it would hardly have been able to create an organization that could counter Ancient Gods\' Abode."

"Hold on, are you saying that it\'s the creator of Eternal Sun?"
