Ultragene Warlord

t covered Zhang Lie ’s body.
The entire world seemed ablaze; a pillar of fire rose into the air, expelling all impurities from Zhang Lie ’s body.

In these flames, Zhang Lie would be reborn.

Stricken by flame, his body was no longer able to support his human form.
His body temperature rose to an incredible degree, and even his water-attuned framework was unable to cool him down.
His evolution was growing entirely out of control.

This evolution was life-or-death for Zhang Lie.
If he made it out alive, he would possess incredible power; if not, he would perish, disintegrated into nothingness by the overwhelming energy coursing through him.

If not for his overwhelming willpower, Zhang Lie would long since have been rendered unconscious.
Even so, with his body at its breaking point, consciousness didn ’t matter.
That he had survived absorbing disaster gene fragments in the first realm was shocking enough, but the potency of this evolution in the second realm went even a magnitude beyond the first.

With the last shred of his consciousness, Zhang Lie activated the fifth form of his [Ninecarp Transformation].

The clouds above him turned golden.
Golden scales encased Zhang Lie ’s charred body, almost like armor, and antlers grew out of his head.
Golden flames burned all around him, releasing a holy aura.
The black sun to his back and bloody moon beneath his feet made him look like a god that had descended from the heavens.

The golden sky and golden sea seemed to merge into one cohesive whole.

After taking on his draconian form, the strength and constitution of his body became much more potent than before.
More importantly, the qilin was innately adept at controlling and manipulating fire, and Zhang Lie was able to curb the flames from scouring his body away.

As the flames of evolution continued to burn within him,his golden qilin scales grew brighter and brighter, twisting the very air with heat.

The flames continued to temper his body from within, and sparks of fire would flare out of his scales from moment to moment.

After an interminable period, when the flames finally subsided, Zhang Lie let out a hissing breath and canceled his transformation, returning to his original body.

His charred skin was growing back at a clip visible to the naked eye, revealing new skin as unblemished as white jade, as though he had been born anew.

Zhang Lie ’s eyeballs and tongue grew back.
His tongue hadn ’t changed, but his eyes were completely different from before.
His pupils looked like miniature scarlet suns, brimming with energy.

Even his bones and capillaries were well on their way to crystallizing, but the transformation was yet incomplete.
Blood no longer flowed through his body.

Zhang Lie felt indefatigable, that he had boundless energy he would never be able to spend in its entirety.

Zhu swam back toward him from afar.
He had caused such a great disturbance during the process of his evolution that she simply couldn ’t draw near; the air had turned superheated, and the sea had begun to boil.
Zhu would surely have died if she had dared to venture closer.
