Ultragenic Warlord

Chapter 988: An Astounding Strength

Nightdemon stepped forward. His white coat, as though dyed with blood, turned a dark red.

The red of Nightdemon's coat deepened and darkened until it was almost black. Then, it flashed and opened wide, transforming into a pair of bat's wings.

The black wings wrapped around Nightdemon as he took to the sky. When they unfurled again, he had morphed into a gigantic bat with a brilliant white smile the shape of a crescent moon, as though he were mocking the entire world.

A fiery-red eye widened, then split into three. Everyone nearby felt a deathly sense of fear.

The aliens might not know who Nightdemon was, but the death spirits did—he was the devil who had given all the death spirits nightmares the first time they opposed him in battle.

"Nightdemon!" an enraged voice bellowed from within the death spirits' flagship, so loud it could be heard throughout the entire battlefield.

Zhang Lie smiled. "It looks like someone remembers you fondly."

Nightdemon didn't respond. With a flap of his wings, he tore into the battleships.

"I suppose I'll join them too." Wilbow transformed into his monstrous form, with a goat's head, a human's upper body, and an octopus's lower body. His tentacles writhed as he slowly proceeded into the battlefield.

As Wilbow leisurely proceeded forward, Zhang Lie and the others joined the battlefield and transformed the state of the battle. The coffin-bearer seized an opportunity to strike. The coffin on its back opened up, revealing a black, bony arm.

An unknown dark fluid seeped out of the bones, flooding the battlefield and devouring everything in sight. Anything it touched melted in the blink of an eye.

The dark flood shot into the sky and rained down on the battlefield. The corrosive rain forced everyone, ally and enemy, to expend a bit of energy to shield themselves.

"This fellow is troublesome not just to his enemies, but to his allies as well..." As before, Zhang Lie and the others would have to be cautious of the death spirits and also of their purported allies.

He had seen the various superior worlds' forces hurt their allies in all sorts of different manners, as though all their troops were designed to cause disruption to everyone and anyone: the king of chaos's night growlers, the unclean world's gray monstrosities, the world of black fog's black fog, Blood Heaven's blood demons, and now the world of death's coffin-carriers.

Further, the king of keys' son, Prince Wilbow, neglected his duties and avoided doing much of anything at all.

Hurting their allies seemed to be a signature of the superior worlds. To date, only the world of blazing sun, the white world, and the newly evolved Zongming world had yet to follow in their footsteps.

"This war's too hard to fight!"

The death spirits weren't overly strong; Zhang Lie's allies were simply too unreliable.

Hong Xi activated all her combat-oriented soulshards in one fell swoop. A fan of feathers materialized in her left hand, and a moonlit sword in her right.

Behind her, multicolored light flared.

The domain of [Eclipse] spread out beneath her feet. She walked forward, moonlight radiating from her every move. A black sun appeared behind her, sparking where it touched the moonlight at her feet.

Wind howled. The sword in her right hand gleamed like the radiant moon. As she waved her fan, she summoned a silver twister in the air, one that affected the entire battlefield.

Zhang Hanxiang shot forward, trailed by the wind. Behind her were a large group of human and alien forces.

Zhang Hanxiang was surrounded by snow and frost. She thrust forward with her palms, turning a black spirit to a sculpture of ice with every strike. Subsequently, those sculptures cracked, destroying the black spirits entirely.

The forces that had rushed forward with Zhang Hanxiang weren't the humans, who had grown far stronger than they had been, but rather the mammoths. Their bulky bodies and froststeel armor allowed them to crush any obstacles before them. The most eye-catching among them was a golden mammoth.

"A hero shines when serving the nation and its people. You evil creatures, face my sword of justice!" The broadsword that the golden mammoth held crashed into the ground, sending boulders flying into the sky. The massive force of impact struck the black spirits like a careening train.

Subsequently, the golden mammoth waved its broadsword around, generating huge gusts of wind that swept across the battlefield and pushed the black spirits back.

Hong Xi, standing behind the golden mammoth, was shocked to no end.

"Just where did Master find such strong aliens...?"

The mammoths were such strong fighters that they equaled Hong Xi and Zhang Hanxiang, who had maxed out their disaster gene fragments, in battle.

On the shattered battlefield, the mammoths had no time to demonstrate their strength before the death spirits were pushed back and defeated.

Subsequently, just like the other forces, they were incapable of doing anything against the spatial storm that the blood lord had summoned.

As the mammoths grew used to the battlefield, in their second confrontation against the death spirits, they finally revealed their true strength.

This was the steel tide that Zhang Lie recalled from his past life—one that had grown stronger in this one, because of the presence of the golden mammoth.

Chen Fan murmured by Hong Xi's side, "If I'm not mistaken, that golden mammoth is Li Feng's girlfriend..."

"Li Feng's girlfriend?!" Hong Xi was gobsmacked. She was more surprised than if the death spirits were to suddenly pull out 300,000 troops from nowhere.

The other humans around her were all very interested in this conversation.

"To think that Li Feng had such unique taste..." Zhang Hanxiang was among those humans. "I truly underestimated Li Feng..."

Chen Fan shrugged. "I'm not sure of the details, but I always see Li Feng together with this golden mammoth. I wouldn't be surprised if Li Feng were to get married to her."

Everyone glanced at the blood-drenched golden mammoth.

She clutched the hilt of her sword, imbuing it with the strength of her body. Her muscles bunched, so thick that no human could ever hope to match her.

This was a difference in biology and physiology. As she unleashed her sword strike, the resulting shockwave was as though a storm had passed through the area. The ground cracked, boulders flew every which way, and huge numbers of black spirits were sent flying. A long furrow was left in the ground.

The human hunters, upon witnessing the golden mammoth's strength, gulped down their saliva.

Was Li Feng able to withstand that? They couldn't help but imagine what it would look like for Li Feng and the golden mammoth in bed.

Hong Xi hesitated before suggesting, "Given Li Feng's strength, he'd surely be able to manage...?"

The human hunters nodded. That... was likely...
