Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1072: Monologue

The solar king tossed the sun in his palm at the arclight dragon instead, causing its image to dissipate within moments.

"[Light's Bulwark: Dragon's Teeth]!" Li Feng charged up for a stronger attack. Concentrated light-attuned genetic energy surrounded him as he shot forward in a beam of light—against which the solar king retaliated with one of his own.

The three-way fight had scorched all surrounding land within a thousand miles.

The land of the world of blazing sun had been half-scorched to begin with, but Li Feng and Fang Yi's fight against the solar king had melted it.

Fang Yi turned back in mid-air and, seizing the opportunity that Li Feng had left him, launched an attack in rapid succession.

"[Born of Lightning, Swallowed by the Wind]!" As Fang Yi shouted, his spear traced a half-moon in the air, surrounded by an aura of time.

The spear pierced space and time, its tip descending into the void. Everything froze and turned gray: the wind, the burning flames—everything was halted in this grayscale world. The only color in the space came from Fang Yi and his crackling spear.

Fang Yi moved extremely slowly. The cost of maintaining this grayscale world was immense. The solar king's reactive armor had yet to recover fully, and there was still a gap around his chest, right below his neck.

The moment Fang Yi's spear struck the solar king's body, time returned to normal. Golden ichor splashed out of the wound as the solar king grabbed onto the haft of the spear.

He called out, "I overlooked your abilities. To think a puny ant would be able to command power over time..."

Although the solar king looked calm, he was unbelievably shocked. Where had these two combatants, who looked as though they were both on the level of superior kings, emerged from?

The appearance of such strong fighters would surely leave a mark, but the solar king had never heard of these two fighters, almost as though they had appeared out of thin air.

This was Zhang Lie's genius. He had long since predicted that he would have had to fight against the superior kings of the third realm, and had chosen to sequester the members of Team Zenith until now.

In the end, the superior kings of antiquity really did strike.

The superior kings didn't realize that Zhang Lie was able to call on seven or eight more combatants on the level of superior kings, and were caught unprepared. contemporary romance

If they had known about this in advance, they would have thought more carefully before invading the newly evolved superior worlds. Facing off against three superior kings was different from doing so against ten, and the superior kings of antiquity would suffer serious losses by doing so.

The members of Team Zenith were all very impressed with Zhang Lie's planning and foresight.

Fang Yi found his spear trapped. He was unable to budge the solar king's grip. He had intended to push the tip of the spear deeper into the solar king's body—but the solar king had broken out of the temporal constraints with his own power.

Against any other superior king, Fang Yi might have succeeded, but Fang Yi's opponent was clearly versed in time as well, and he had the backing of fighting on home ground. The will of the world afforded the solar king fine understanding of the state of his world, including the flow of time. The solar king sensed that he was trapped in stasis and invoked the authority of a superior king to break out of it.

"[Light's Bulwark: Meteoric Fist]!" An arclight dragon appeared behind Li Feng. He punched forward, and the dragon shot toward the solar king like a bullet from a sniper rifle.

The light dragon left behind a starry trail, breathtakingly beautiful.

Li Feng reached out to save Fang Yi as the solar king snorted, kicking Fang Yi toward the dragon of light with such force that it caused a white-colored explosion. Fang Yi's back was reduced to a mass of bleeding flesh.

Li Feng hurriedly flew toward him. "Are you alright?"

Fang Yi shook his head. "It's a minor injury, nothing more."

The solar king guessed, "You're working for the king of chaos, aren't you? He doesn't want to see us gain more power?"

No fighter on the level of a superior king could have emerged out of nowhere. From the solar king's perspective, all these fighters had to be carefully cultivated over years and years.

Most importantly, the solar king was lacking crucial information. He knew that there were beasts so powerful as to be classified as monarch-grade, though not what these beasts meant to the hunters of the Milky Way.

Most superior worlds had monarch-grade creatures, who served like guardian deities of their respective worlds.

.

From the solar king's perspective, the only superior king who had access to so many strong fighters was the king of chaos. The solar king murmured to himself, "Does the king of chaos fear that we might be able to reach his level if we were able to claim the Zongming world's spoils for ourselves...?"

Fang Yi and Li Feng glanced at each other. They had heard of the king of chaos, the strongest of the superior kings of antiquity, ruler of the world of primordial chaos. But what did the king of chaos have to do with them?

The solar king, however, seemed to have suddenly come to an understanding.

"I get it, I get it now! No wonder the king of chaos gave the crystal of world's energy to the Zongming king! He knew that the Zongming king was a newly evolved superior king, who wouldn't be able to unlock its full potential for years on end. It'd be useless to him."

Fang Yi was wholly confused by the direction of the solar king's thoughts, but any distraction would be valuable to him. Fang Yi had consumed quite a lot of stamina in activating his control over time, and the damage to his back was something that would take some time to recover.

Light-attuned genetic energy continued to scald him; it was particularly potent in a world like the world of blazing sun. Despite Fang Yi's claim that it was only a minor injury, it hurt all over.

While the solar king monologued, he chugged down a restorative, allowing his wounds to seal. He couldn't help but think of Zhou Ying, and how she had vanished after the solar king's initial attack.

The solar king continued to speak. "You don't fear us—you fear this energy that's beyond even that of a superior world! You intend on dealing with all the other superior worlds first before claiming that treasure for yourself—making us fight among ourselves while you hide behind the scenes like a mastermind. As expected of the strongest king, we can't match you in wit or in strength!"
