Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1356: Exhilarated

Sun Xiaowu\'s body split into over a thousand clones, so many they seemed to fill the sky.

The thousand clones all used [Golden Divide] simultaneously, coloring the sky in gold and raining down golden feathers in such numbers that it seemed as though a thunderstorm had just formed out of thin air.

A golden storm struck down the lifeforms that were traveling with the lava.

"It\'s him! [Adamantine Aegis]—that\'s Sun Xiaowu!"

The members of Team Zenith certainly couldn\'t let this gathering point vanish; they had already given Zhang Lie coordinates, so what would they do if they had to evacuate? How could Zhang Lie find them then?

The members of Team Zenith all struck simultaneously.

"[Light Dragon\'s Remnants]!"

A figure shrouded in light rose into the air and leapt outside the city walls. Then, his hands blurred into a series of afterimages, sending countless arclight dragons flying through the air, in conjunction with Sun Xiaowu\'s golden storm. Their combined attacks, shining in gold and silver, were sufficient to stymie the beast stampede.

"This is the user of arclight dragons, Li Feng!"

Just the four of them had turned the tides of the battle.

A beautiful figure held a greatbow in hand. As she drew the arrow, the scorching-hot air ignited in flame. All the heat in the atmosphere seemed to have gathered around her. The flames formed a whirlpool. She was beautiful, her long hair flying in the wind, like a burning ember, beloved by stars.

Three arrows, brimming with purple flame, flew toward the enemy like tracking missiles.

"[Lunarflame Shot]!" The three purpleflame arrows struck the crests of three waves in the distance, forming three bursts of resplendent light.

"This is the Lady of Netherworld Flame—Sun Mengmeng!"

Just then, another figure appeared above the wall. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, the color of crystalline jade. It gave off motes of vitality. She was so beautiful no one could take their eyes away, and golden leaves whirled around her. The tips of her hair produced gray fog.

The gray power gathered around Zhou Ying\'s forehead, which cracked apart. A gray eye budded from her flesh. It opened up to reveal a chaotic opal iris, which seemed to be able to penetrate flesh, soul, and space.

Each leaf was like a miniature sun, orbiting around the woman\'s body. To her back was a pair of golden wings. Above those wings was a glowing sun, giving off a radiant, holy light.

Her jade-green eyes were flecked with gold, and she seemed to have become one with the land. The vitality radiating from her was visible to the naked eye. Stellar light surrounded her as though she were a goddess given form.

Black energy formed a gauzy dress around her, sticking closely to her limbs and revealing her curvaceous features—no, making them even more curvaceous than they originally were.

Two root-like tendrils writhed under her dress; her body radiated a seductive charm.

Zhou Ying seemed to simultaneously exhibit the charm of a holy priestess and a charming succubus.

"[Avatar of the Fae: Earthbound Prison]!"

She released all her stored vitality at once, causing the ground to quake as thousands of jade-green wood dragons rushed out of the earth. Each dragon was about six hundred meters wide, with skin flecked with golden radiance.

Thick, heavyset wood dragons surrounded the city gates and blocked the lava from entering.

Though they were wood dragons, they had near-immunity to fire and even seemed to be absorbing heat from the lava in order to grow further. They quickly grew thicker and longer, past the hundred-meter walls in no time, to form a whopping five-hundred-meter-tall palisade.

"That\'s the Greenwood Priestess, Zhou Ying."

Zhou Ying shouted, "Everyone, there\'s no need to worry about the lava. As long as I\'m around, not a single drop of lava will strike the settlement!"

The members of Team Zenith all gave her a thumbs-up. "Well done, Zhou Ying!"

The members of Team Zenith fought hard to block the lava as they simultaneously killed the lifeforms that had appeared from within it.

Everyone was overjoyed to see that their settlement\'s defense holding up—until twelve disaster-grade lifeforms emerged from the lava to face off against the members of Team Zenith.

The members of Team Zenith split up to tackle the lifeforms. Waves of lava surged forth. From afar, the lava looked like a horde of lions furiously rushing forward, like roaring dragons.

Under the continuous battering of lava, Zhou Ying\'s wooden palisade began to crack. However, she had constructed it out of special wood, which regenerated in an instant. More concerning was the incredible number of genetic lifeforms that arose from the lava, forming a slope with their bodies that seemed poised to allow the majority over the palisade.

The lava itself seemed to be living. It transformed into a giant hand that stretched over the wall and made to crush the settlement whole.

The members of Team Zenith worked hard to beat back the disaster-grade lifeforms and protect the gathering point, along with the thousands of hunters within it, but the disaster-grade lifeforms seemed stubbornly persistent, even despite the heavy wounds they sustained.

Just then, the skies suddenly darkened. A fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"

A howling gale swept over the space. More and more genetic energy gathered around Zhang Lie\'s arms. A huge wave soared. As Zhang Lie punched forward, the fish slammed its huge tail on the ground and sent a torrent of water surging.

Upon seeing the familiar skill, the members of Team Zenith displayed identical expressions of delight and surprise.

Ripples of energy spread out from Zhang Lie, warping the space around him. The towering waves looked like enraged black dragons, flooding the space and striking the palm of lava.

As the waves burst apart, the air filled with echoes of Zhang Lie\'s signature genetic energy, shattering space and swallowing up all life in its vicinity.

Water-attuned genetic energy struck the sea of lava in a burst of steam.

"Run and hide!" the members of Team Zenith shouted.

As the steam exploded and covered up the entire gathering point and battlefield, the bark was stripped off the wooden palisade.

As resistant to heat as the wooden palisade was, it was no match for the superheated steam. Fortunately, the hunters reacted quickly, finding cover before the steam could strike them. Even so, quite a few hunters had been seriously burned.

The lava around the gathering point turned into black volcanic rock.

"Captain!"

Sun Mengmeng, Fang Yi, Yang Ze, Li Feng, Zhou Ying, and Sun Xiaowu simultaneously revealed identical expressions of relief and joy upon seeing Zhang Lie in the air.

Just then, two more genetic lifeforms rushed out of the lava and pounced toward Zhang Lie.
