"[Blades, Reverberate]!" A blood dragon revolved around Zhang Lie. Energy poured out of him in waves, honing the edge of his blade. The pulses of energy struck the realm like a tsunami, devouring everything within.
A dragon of blood rushed out of the tide accompanied by a series of dark, black waves.
The whirlpool tyrant ignited his body. Red light flared all over the sea. Beneath the tyrant was a roaring patch of frothing red sea.
With a gigantic torrent of energy, it broke free of Zhang Lie's spatiotemporal constraints and shot out a beam of red light at him.
The beam struck the dragon that Zhang Lie had summoned and burst apart in mid-air, igniting the heavens in flame. The sea shook, and all the shores bordering the sea were beset with tidal waves.
Far into the distance, the spectacle that was unfolding in the air shocked almost everyone in Renhuang awake. Sun Mengmeng leaped up onto one of the crag eagles' watchtowers. Quite a few hunters had already done so; everyone was observing the blood-red sky.
Sun Mengmeng frowned. "What's going on?"
No one knew whether this was an omen or a blessing.
The hunters gathered in Renhuang watched the skies with unease. The red sky felt imposing; whether for good or for ill, it seemed to portend a major event.
Above the sea, the tyrant's beam continued to clash against Zhang Lie's dragon. Its energy gradually dissipated, leaving behind the physical projectile that was the source of the attack, a ball of unknown material shining red-hot with heat.
The energy of the beam might have been sapped away, but not the momentum of the projectile.
Zhang Lie felt an immense pressure forcing him back, and he was surprised that something had survived [The Boundless Blade]. With both his swords together, he sent the ball of matter flying up into the air.
Any regular object would have been disintegrated by his sword technique; what could the whirlpool tyrant be hiding? Was this... a whale gallstone?!
When the whirlpool tyrant ingested seawater, all solid material was sent to its pocket dimension, whereas liquid was filtered out. Its corrosive ability was very strong, but there were still some materials that even it couldn't dissolve. All that matter would accumulate in its digestive tract, forming a solid mass.
The bottom of the sea boasted large quantities of heavy metals or creatures that had ingested heavy metals. Massive lifeforms like whales had little control over what they consumed, let alone the whirlpool tyrant—it was as though it sucked up everything within a patch of ocean like an underwater vacuum cleaner.
The indigestible matter would aggregate, and Zhang Lie had seen that solid mass when he was swallowed into the pocket dimension. The matter that had survived the intense corrosion was unbelievably hard and resistant to corrosion.
The whirlpool tyrant had to clean out its digestive tract daily, and the "moonlight" it spat out were these gallstones, which formed what seemed like a second moon hanging in the night sky.
In some sense, it was akin to the whirlpool tyrant's vomit, but it was undoubtedly a treasure that even Zhang Lie's sword technique couldn't disintegrate. It was sturdier and more durable than almost any metal, and there were plenty of alien races who would purchase it at a high price. contemporary romance
This particular gallstone had been formed when the whirlpool tyrant sucked Zhang Lie into its body, and it ejected the stone now as a weapon against Zhang Lie.
The tyrant's body burned with a bright red flame. Although it moved very slowly, it possessed an almost inexhaustible source of energy, and it was so massive that Zhang Lie wouldn't be able to avoid it no matter how he moved.
Zhang Lie activated the fifth form of his [Ninecarp Transformation]—the golden qilin. The red sky turned a brilliant gold, and even the moon turned golden.
Zhang Lie's body was encased in golden scales, almost like armor, and antlers grew out of his head. Golden flames burned all around him, releasing a holy aura. The black sun to his back and bloody moon beneath his feet made him look like a god that had descended from the heavens.
The sea continued to surge and frothe, its surface gleaming gold. The golden sky and golden sea seemed to merge into one cohesive whole.
Zhang Lie glowed as brightly as the sun.
The sky that suddenly turned red one moment and gold the next caused the entirety of the second realm to panic, especially those that lived by the sea. No one knew what was going on; this time, even the sea had turned to gold.
The races that had lived by the sea for their entire lives had never seen such a phenomenon. Some were certain it was the precursor to an apocalypse; others, a blessing from the heavens. No one could agree.
Zhu stared open-mouthed. "Just who are you?"
She didn't know what race Zhang Lie came from, but she was certain that his race was a mysterious one. In the span of the fight, he had gone from a hairless monkey to a wolfman to a draconian fighter. Just which form was his true form?
In his golden qilin form, Zhang Lie no longer felt the scorching heat that the whirlpool tyrant was releasing.
As he faced the whirlpool tyrant, Zhang Lie smiled casually.
As his twin blades danced, he bisected the whirlpool tyrant through its center. The cut met no resistance at all. The two halves of the tyrant's body split apart on either side of Zhang Lie and fell to the sea with a great splash.
Zhang Lie sheathed his sword and canceled his transformation as the will of the world's voice rose in his mind.
[You successfully killed a disaster-grade dragonturtle whale. By consuming the core of the disaster-grade dragonturtle whale, you may receive one to ten disaster gene fragments.]
Zhang Lie let out a long breath. The whirlpool tyrant had been far stronger than the double-headed spider he had found in a mountainous cave; the disaster-grade spider was little more than an ordinary spider in comparison.
The will of the world had been paying careful attention to the fight. The power that Zhang Lie and the disaster-grade lifeform gave off clearly exceeded the limit of the second realm, but the will of the world chose not to make an appearance, as though it were scared by Zhang Lie...
