Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1586: Clash of the Seas

They formed a flood that homed in on Zhang Lie.

Zhang Lie had no intention of showing any weakness. He clenched his fists tightly. Pale blue genetic energy rippled about Zhang Lie\'s arms. He flicked his wrists, causing a frightening aura to descend around them. A fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.

[Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar] swept over the battlefield. As more and more genetic energy gathered around Zhang Lie\'s arms, it looked as though he were at the heart of a whirlpool.

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

The black sea and pale blue genetic energy clashed in the air in an explosion of wind and storm.

Howling winds formed in the air around the explosion. Even the airship was affected. It quickly shot backwards as the sea roiled in anger. The black sea erupted in a forest of lightning, wave after wave crashing onto his opponent\'s technique.

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.

The black sea manifested in the form of the upper half of a humanoid body. Its voice was like a typhoon. "I\'ve finally found you, bug!"

Zhang Lie wasn\'t surprised. He folded his arms. "As expected, it\'s you, Cthaat."

"I\'ll kill you!" Cthaat roared.

Zhang Lie smirked. "That remains to be seen, doesn\'t it?"

The black sea roiled. Waves roared through the skies like galloping beasts, like thundering dragons.

The surface of the sea frothed with angry waves, like rocs emerging with the tide.

The waves crested in mid-air, each a blood-colored bastion.

"[The Boundless Blade: Daybreak]!" As Zhang Lie waved his pointer finger, a beam of sword energy cleaved through the waves as a raging shark swam forth.

Waves charged forward, lapping the shore, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves.

The sea roared, the wind howled. Cthaat\'s anger was reflected in the physical manifestation of its body, in the giant waves that seemed poised to destroy everything in sight.

The waves shot forward, smashing apart everything that lay in their way before being blocked by Zhang Lie\'s genetic energy. The anger of the black sea alone, its raging shouts, manifested in the form of one of its strongest attacks.

"[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.

Pitch-black genetic energy revolved around Zhang Lie like dark clouds, then exploded forth in his vicinity, clashing against the black sea.

The corrosive genetic energy began to make the seawater sizzle.

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

Zhang Lie punched forward as his black serpent shot into the black sea, causing it to roil. Waves formed across the surface of the sea, which was turning ever darker, just like when Zhang Lie had encountered Cthaat\'s son. The pitch-black genetic energy was corrupting the black sea and corroding at Cthaat\'s very body.

Cthaat grew even more enraged.

The sea had morphed into a boundless battlefield. The sea breeze was as a horn to action, and the waves, thousands of courageous soldiers heeding its call. Boulders on land, weighing thousands of tons, were sent sinking into the sea, where they were pulverized into powder.

Waves surged one after another, accompanied by the sound of incredible howls. Snowy-white froth sprayed all over. The tide swelled, waves reaching hundreds of meters into the air.

The black sea evoked a frightening terror and deep mystery.

The tide shot toward Zhang Lie like rampaging troops rushing forward, bolstered with killing intent. Cthaat truly wanted Zhang Lie dead.

Zhang Lie smirked as he pulled away, the pitch-black genetic energy around him transforming into dark clouds that shot into the sea.

However, Zhang Lie had underestimated Cthaat.

Cthaat smirked. "Do you really think this amount of strength is enough to take me down?"

The nature of the black sea transformed. Its color grew deeper and more pronounced as it absorbed the clouds and melted the ground under its onslaught.

Zhang Lie blanched. Cthaat was actually absorbing the nature of annihilation inherent in his genetic energy and morphing his entire body into the same.

Although he had heard that the sea could tolerate anything, something like this was far too ridiculous.

Cthaat\'s son had shown a hint of this ability, but Cthaat himself was clearly far stronger. Within moments, it had absorbed the nature of annihilation and transformed it into a weapon.

The thick, murky liquid surged forward in a wave as tall as a giant wall.

It brimmed with killing intent.

As Zhang Lie activated his monarch-grade limitless universe soulshard, he glowed with stellar radiance, like a burning star. Starlight flowed through his body in phantasmagorical colors.

The starlight\'s allure captivated all onlookers.

Zhang Lie\'s body transformed into a glaze of the dark cosmos, as though the Milky Way itself flowed through his body. His aura grew tremendously. He attacked with one open palm.

The attack landed, shaking the heavens. The imprint of a huge palm was left on the surface of the sea for a moment, blocking Cthaat\'s attack.

Of course, the sea couldn\'t be defeated by just a single strike. The waves continued surging forward, so tall they dwarfed even the tallest of mountains. They were majestic—or they would have been, if they weren\'t trying to kill Zhang Lie.

Zhang Lie had always been the one in control of the sea, one who suppressed his opponents with his attunement to water. This was the first time he was fighting the sea itself—and getting suppressed by it.

"Return my son to me!" Cthaat howled. "Return my son to me!"
