Ultragene Warlord

"This sort of airship would be destroyed by one punch in the fifth realm. Do you think it'd be meaningful?" Zhang Lie asked. This was what Bu Wentian had told him too—it was a difference in perspective.

If you were to get to Lv. 30 with a game character, then restart from scratch, you would know what skills and abilities are important; if you were to get to Lv. 100, you would have a different perspective.

"As long as it's useful in the fourth realm. Furthermore, the Milky Way started by focusing on technological development! If this sort of construction can be replicated in the real world, after centuries, perhaps millennia, of progress, it wouldn't be superior to our scientific achievements."

Zhang Lue scoffed. "By then, I'd long since have swept through the fourth realm.

The gathered hunters were speechless at Zhang Lie's confidence and domineering aura. As they spoke, the airship landed and Li Qianlin walked out. Her face lit up upon seeing Zhang Lie, but as she walked over, she pretended to be mad.

"So you've finally decided to return?"

Zhang Lie reached out and rubbed Li Qianlin's cheeks. "Did you miss me?"

Li Qianlin's face flushed red as she pursed her lips. "Who would miss you?"

"Be more honest, would you?"

Li Qianlin gave him a tight hug. "I did miss you a little, but just a little!"

Zhang Lie rubbed Li Qianlin's head. "Let's go."

"Where?" Li Qianlin asked.

"To see the members of Team Zenith."

Li Qianlin's eyes lit up. "Sun Mengmeng and the others have ascended?

"Indeed."

Li Qianlin tugged on Zhang Lie's hand as she walked off toward the airship.

"What are you waiting for, then? Let's go!"

Li Qianlin was very excited to be able to see her friends from the third realm again.

"Do you think they'd be shocked to see me?" she asked.

"Probably," Zhang Lie replied.

As he returned to the airship, the airship's robotic voice greeted him. "Welcome back, Master."

"Thank you. Has anything eventful happened over the last few days?"

The system's robotic voice replied, "No, except for the sneak attack from Milky Way hunters in the gathering point.

Zhang Lie smiled. "You've done very well protecting my Qianlin."

Li Qianlin rolled her eyes. "Who's yours?"

Zhang Lie asked, "How much energy is left in the airship?"

Li Qianlin replied, "On the airship's suggestion, we've been roaming around the city to hunt down genetic lifeforms. Not only is there a small peak-grade farm on the airship, the airship's battery is quite improved."

Zhang Lie asked in surprise, "Is there sufficient energy to deduce the recipe for the subsequent limit-breaking potion?

The system's robotic voice rang out, "The energy the airship currently possesses, along with the peak-grade lifeforms on the farm, would allow me to function for 500 days."

About half the energy was still missing, then.

"Forget about it. We'll set off immediately."

Li Qianlin hurriedly asked, "Where are Sun Mengmeng and the others?

Zhang Lie instructed, "Show a map of the fourth realm.

The airship's system revealed a map. Zhang Lie pointed at a certain location on it.

"Let's set off, then!"

The airship flew off at full speed. Not long later, they reached the gathering point where the members of Team Zenith were located. However, by the time they got there, they saw nothing but a flaming ocean of burning red lava.

Li Qianlin, in fear and fright, grabbed onto Zhang Lie's hand. "What in the world happened...?

The sea of lava seemed endless. It extended for thousands of kilometers, and Li Qianlin couldn't help but shudder at the sight.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

The airship's robotic voice sounded. "Large quantities of lifeforms are present within the lava."

The monitor showed that the lava harbored a large group of lifeforms, the weakest of which was peak-grade.

Li Qianlin was very worried. "The members of Team Zenith will be fine, won't they?"

Zhang Lie consoled her. "Don't worry. You're aware of how strong Sun Mengmeng and the others are. They wouldn't die to a disaster of this magnitude."

The lava roiled as a pillar of fire shot into the sky. The airship's energy barrier activated, protecting it from sustaining any injury.

The airship's robotic voice rang out, "Warning! The airship has suffered some damage. Counterattack system has been forcibly activated."

As a few genetic lifeforms flew toward the airship, the airship shot them down.

"Let me go have a look outside."

Zhang Lie left the airship and headed toward the depths of the lava. At the heart of the sea, he could see a gathering point which was barely holding on for dear life at the heart of the lava. The members of Team Zenith were all fighting, each facing two disaster-grade lifeforms at once.

Sun Mengmeng and the others were in the midst of a crisis. They had been waiting at the gathering point for Zhang Lie to head over, only to receive news that lava and a beast stampede were in the midst of rushing over.

Allegedly, the lava had swept through the south as it headed north, destroying countless gathering points along the way.

Where the lava came from, no genetic hunter knew.

The members of Team Zenith, as genetic hunters in their own right, naturally participated in the defense of the gathering point.

However, this particular beast stampede and the lava were far harder to deal with than the members of Team Zenith had anticipated. The weakest among them was a peak-grade lifeform, after all.

The lifeforms moved throughout the lava. Not only did the genetic hunters have to block the lava, they also had to kill the genetic lifeforms hidden within. Some even suggested giving up on the gathering point and returning to the Milky Way.

The members of Team Zenith certainly couldn't let that happen; they had already given Zhang Lie the coordinates to their gathering point.

Peak-grade lava salamanders leapt out of the lava and attempted to scale the walls of the gathering point.

Just then, with a shout, a figure holding a spear dashed forward. He launched his spear, crackling with wind and lightning, with incredible force. It sent wind howling and lightning flashing through the sky.

With his spear, he invoked chaotic energy in the form of lightning and raging wind. The spear left a dozen afterimages in its wake, piercing the peak-grade lava salamander's head.

The genetic hunters fighting for their lives were shocked by the sudden display of strength. What impeccable spear technique!

"We had someone this strong in the settlement?"

"They're the members of Team Zenith, who swept the Void Cup!"

"Associated with the Zenith Dojo?"

"Have they already ascended to the fourth realm? This quickly?"

"Who was the one who struck just now?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that was Fang Yi!"

Scorching-hot lava swept toward the gathering point like a wave. The hunters' faces fell—they didn't have enough genetic energy to prevent an attack of this magnitude.

"[The Boundless Blade: Ersatz Yawning Wave]!"

A sword flashed, the strike forming a long river through the skies. The genetic energy burst apart in a shower of droplets.

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

The genetic hunters glanced at a sword-wielding figure standing atop the city walls.

"It's him! I saw him on the Void Cup broadcast before. He uses [The Boundless Blade], and his name is Yang Ze!"
