Ultragene Warlord

ard, Zhang Lie might have been mired deeper and deeper within the illusions.
The warship that had emerged from the sea of mists was exactly like the one he had seen in a museum.

If not for the subsequent appearance of his parents and sister, Zhang Lie might never have found the truth.

The fleet of battleships surrounded Zhang Lie and Zhu.

”Remember: you were the one who started this.
[Fists of the Silent Sea: Hundred Dragons Soaring]! ” Zhang Lie punched forward with his left arm, sending a torrent of dragons flooding outward.

Keening like peals of thunder, the horde of dragons smashed into the battleships that had gathered about Zhang Lie.

The battleships exploded in the sky like fireballs, vaporizing the mist around them.

The dragons fought against the battleships in what seemed to be an apocalyptic battle.
Some of the dragons were pierced through by the battleships ’ lasers, while some battleships were smashed apart by the dragons.
Fire and light filled the air.

The gigantic clam shut its shell and tried to retreat back underwater, aware that Zhang Lie was a dangerous target to provoke.

”It ’s far too late! ” Zhang Lie sent a dazzling streak of sword energy toward the clam.

”[Rune: Control]! ” He raised an arm into the air and sent the two sealing tablets crashing down.
They began to resonate as one, sending ripples that melded with sea and sky, suppressing the clam ’s unique ability.

”[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]! ” An underworld river hurtled into existence, and the haunted souls of the underworld could almost be seen in the dark water.
The river smashed toward the gigantic clam, destroying it whole.

[You successfully killed a peak-grade mistmeld clam.
By consuming the flesh of the peak-grade mistmeld clam, you may receive one to ten peak gene fragments.]

By that time, the battle between the dragon horde and the fleet of galactic battleships had likewise come to an end.
With the destruction of the clam, the battleships puffed into mist.

Zhang Lie drew a long breath.
He swept over the surface of the sea with his dragon ’s eye soulshard, observing to his satisfaction that the mist was slowly beginning to dissipate.

Sunlight shone down over the sea of mists once more, and the sea breeze sent the last few patches of fog drifting into the distance.
The world regained its usual color.

Zhang Lie stretched.
”Problem solved. ”

Zhu exhaled.
”So this was the truth behind the sea of mists! ”

”There are countless mysteries in this world, and some have a very simple resolution— ” Zhang Lie suddenly whirled around, his eyes gleaming with cold light.
”—or is that just what you ’d like me to believe? ”

He was glancing at a specific spot in the sea.
He drew his blade.

”[First Form: Parting the River]! ” An incredible wave of energy tore a trench in the sea.

Zhu shrieked.
”What ’s going on?! ”

Others might not have noticed it, but Zhang Lie ’s dragon ’s eye soulshard easily identified a massive spiritual flare from underneath the surface of the sea— a disaster-grade soul.

Zhang Lie ’s attack revealed part of the lifeform that lay hidden beneath the surface, a massive shell even larger than the clam that they had vanquished, a lacquered gold shell studded with gems and jewels and brimming with light.
