Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1099: Fragments En Masse

The draconian sage laughed. "Haha, the draconians know enough to be grateful. Without you and the members of Team Zenith, the draconian world wouldn't have survived this trial."

"Sage, what are you talking about? This matter was caused by the evolution of the draconian world into a superior world, and it was partially our responsibility."

The draconian sage waved a hand. "That's not how it works. If not for your presence initially, the draconian world would have been destroyed. I was the one who decided to evolve this world. Well, now, let's not talk about this for the moment—how were the spoils you got?"

"Very good. Do you want some superior world's energy?" Zhang Lie thought he could see what the draconian sage was getting at.

"This world's desperately in need of it. It has just evolved, after all." This was the difference between the draconian sage and the scaleman king.

"We'll have a meeting in the Zongming world in a few days to divide up the spoils."

The draconian sage nodded. "If you have time, go talk to Zhu by the disaster-grade farm. It seems that something has happened!"

Zhang Lie was very surprised. What could have gone wrong with the farm with the draconian sage's supervision? He couldn't rest now. Zhang Lie headed immediately to the farm to check on the situation. The farm was at the heart of his plans. Whether or not he would be able to max out his monarch gene fragments depended on the farm's functionality.

From the outside, the farm looked no different than before. In fact, it had even gained more disaster- and post-peak-grade lifeforms, clear evidence of Zhu's effective caretaking.

Upon seeing Zhang Lie's return, Zhu happily leapt toward him. Zhu cried out, "Zhang Lie, I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Zhang Lie thought that Zhu's words were strange, but couldn't pinpoint exactly why. "Did something happen, Zhu?"

Zhu replied, "Thanks to the marvelous crystal of world's energy you provided, three more lifeforms have evolved into monarch-grade."

Before he left, Zhang Lie had handed half the crystal of world's energy that went even beyond that of a superior world to Zhu for use on these lifeforms.

"Very good, very well done. This is excellent news."

Zhu continued, "I ground up the crystal you provided and added it into the lifeforms' diet. They began to grow rapidly, and a monarch-grade lifeform appeared in no time.

"There was no problem at first, but a few days ago, the draconian sage collected a group of corpses that remained after the world of blazing sun's failed invasion into our world and used it to feed the genetic lifeforms."

Zhang Lie's lips twitched. "It looks like the draconian sage bears very strong enmity against these troops..."

Zhu continued, "I didn't mind at first, but I noticed that one genetic lifeform in particular was undergoing very unusual changes. Within just a short period of time, it managed to ascend into monarch-grade, and that growth doesn't seem to have stopped. It continued to consume more troops from the world of blazing sun and is growing even stronger."

Zhang Lie asked, "How strong is it now—forget it, just show me."

Zhu led him to this unusual monarch-grade lifeform, which looked like a crab. It was giving off radiant sunlight from all over, and it almost seemed like it was about to evolve beyond monarch-grade.

"A monarch-grade mutation?"

Zhu asked, "What should I do with this monarch-grade lifeform, Zhang Lie?"

Zhang Lie rubbed at his chin. "It'd be a waste to eat it directly. Let me go ask for more of the world of blazing sun's corpses from the draconian sage. Keep observing it and feeding it. Try to add in some aliens' and genetic lifeforms' corpses to identify what caused its mutation, and to see whether its ability to grow is limitless."

Zhu nodded. "I understand, Zhang Lie."

"As for the other two monarch-grade lifeforms, let me call the members of Team Zenith over and have us consume it together."

Zhang Lie shattered space and teleported to the members of Team Zenith.

Zhang Lie: a disaster-grade lifeform

He had once again obtained a few more monarch gene fragments, and was even closer to maxing them out.

After leaving the farm, Zhang Lie told Zhu, "I'll bring back some more superior world's energy. I and the members of Team Zenith have slain four superior kings of antiquity in quick succession, and we have plenty of spoils to share. After I divide it among Li Zongming and the draconian sage, I'll be able to bring it here."

Zhu nodded seriously. "I'll keep taking care of the genetic lifeforms. You have to come visit, Zhang Lie!"

Zhang Lie nodded. "Once I've finished dealing with affairs with the superior kings, I'll stop by frequently. I'm very interested in that mutated monarch-grade lifeform."

From a cursory inspection, that mutated lifeform was able to grow swiftly stronger by consuming all manners of corpses, even those of aliens and genetic lifeforms.

Considering that it was already monarch-grade, the fact that it was still able to increase its strength so quickly was unheard of. Could it be able to break through the confines of monarch-grade?

As everyone left the farm, Zhang Hanxiang said, "Brother, I want to consume more monarch-grade lifeforms! Having just one or two every now and then just isn't enjoyable enough."

Sun Mengmeng rapped Zhang Hanxiang's head. "Do you realize how rare these monarch-grade lifeforms are? At our current stage, only we even know about the existence of monarch-grade lifeforms, and the fact that we've been able to consume any at all is all thanks to our captain. Count yourself lucky!"

Sun Xiaowu nodded. "It's likely that we're the only ones with this knowledge even across the entire galaxy. If word of this information were to spread, it'd likely take the entire galaxy by storm."

Yang Ze shrugged. "Everyone else is madly trying to collect disaster gene fragments, and we're already at monarch gene fragments—this is all thanks to our captain."

Zhang Hanxiang rubbed her head. "I simply want to consume more monarch-grade lifeforms to grow stronger."

Zhang Lie spread his arms. "It's not impossible to grow monarch-grade lifeforms en masse."

Everyone in Team Zenith looked toward Zhang Lie, thirsting for more strength.

"The most important factor is whether or not you possess enough superior world's energy."
