Ultragene Warlord-Chapter 1391: Ballad of Water and Fire

Resplendent Sun's right hand curved and sketched out a sun. He slammed his palm down, bathing the world in purifying radiance.

Zhang Lie shot forward, his hair fluttering.

"[Ninecarp Transformation]!"

A black serpent materialized behind Zhang Lie, by now so large and so developed that it resembled the world-swallowing serpent Jormungandr. It let out a threatening hiss as its scales clicked together.

Pitch-black genetic energy revolved around Zhang Lie like dark clouds, then exploded forth in his vicinity。

The two combatants warred over heaven and earth themselves. The skies shone with radiant solar light, cleansing and scouring.

"[Celestial Convergence]." Resplendent Sun formed the seals of sun and moon with his hands. Stars peeked out from amidst the void and descended on Zhang Lie with incredible might.

Zhang Lie stared up at Resplendent Sun, both hands on his sword.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"

Zhang Lie punched forward, and the black serpent behind him shot forth. Starlight formed its scales, the darkness of night its body, auroras its skin, abyssal darkness its eyes, genetic energy its fangs. It transformed into a python of legends, devouring sun and moon alike.

The sun and moon darkened; the falling stars shattered. The two combatants' battlefield was foundational natural law itself.

Zhang Lie took a deep breath. This was a great and terrible foe.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"

His genetic energy condensed into a black dragon, whose scales were each a star. The stars inlaid in its body formed a long stellar river.

Zhang Lie's monarch-grade limitless universe soulshard was changing the very nature of his genetic energy, transforming it into what seemed like the inky void that made up the universe. The galactic energy shone with twinkling stars, which transformed into dragons that shot out alongside Zhang Lie's punch.

His stellar dragon tore apart the sun and moon's radiance, breaking through Resplendent Sun's seals,

Resplendent Sun continued to sit cross-legged in the void, encircled by an eponymous radiant sun, holy and dignified. His eyes closed, he formed seals with both hands and raised them high overhead.

A vase manifested in his hands, red and shining all over. Fiery mist poured out of its top, pointed straight at Zhang Lie. It was an ornate vase with physical form and structure. Just like the silver lotus, it was neither a soulshard nor a piece of technology.

Zhang Lie felt as though he were facing an incredible foe.

Resplendent Sun moved. The vase lit up with light, blowing countless runes toward Zhang Lie.

A firebird flew out of the vase with a loud cry, terrorizing the spectators. Azure fire burned the very heavens as an azure simurgh flapped its wings and bore down on Zhang Lie. The essence of the sun manifested in the form of a golden bird that swooped toward Zhang Lie. A phoenix manifested, its eyes glowing with flame. It bathed in the flames and revived stronger than ever, flying into the air with the authority of a monarch.

Within moments, the vase had spat out countless divine flames, each of which seemed poised to burn the arena down.

Resplendent Sun was even stronger than Radiant Sun had been back during his iteration of the Cup.

The divine flame burned the stellar dragon to a crisp. A wave of annihilation exploded around the dragon. Pitch-black energy swallowed everything in the vicinity like a storm at sea, covering up the sky.

The explosion was like a black hole that sucked up everything in sight.

However, the divine fire possessed shocking strength, and was burning away at the energy of annihilation itself. The sky was filled with a pitch-black hurricane and divine fire.

The two combatants fought with the sky as their battlefield.

Zhang Lie's eyes lit up with divine light.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Hundred Dragons Soaring]!"

A horde of dragons launched out of Zhang Lie's left arm as he expended half his genetic energy in one supercharged attack.

Howling with the force of thunder, the hundred stellar dragons soared through the air. They blocked the divine birds' attacks and shot toward them.

The firebird swooped down with incredible speed. Starlight illuminated the stage and the stands. The golden sunbird cried out, heavenly monarch that it was. Its wings sliced down like the blades of heaven, its claws sharp and penetrating, imbued with the essence of divine flame.

The stellar dragon obliterated the solar essence, soaring into the skies and smashing into the golden bird's wings and claws with a metallic clang.

The phoenix descended next, its every action filled with echoes of life, death, and rebirth. Divine flames descended.

The stellar dragons exploded in waves of annihilation that were impossible to block.

A chain reaction of explosions formed, each bearing the energy of annihilation. That energy fought for dominance over the sky with divine flame, which fell to the ground in a series of explosions.

The spectators of light shook. To them, the fight was something straight out of an apocalypse. If they hadn't been protected by the rules of this virtual realm, they would have long since turned to ashes.

Zhang Lie sprayed out a breath of essence.

The blade Guicang appeared in his hand, tearing apart the sky, the firmament covered up by the energy of annihilation and divine flame.

The next moment, the sun itself shook. It grew brighter and brighter. Resplendent Sun suddenly shifted, rousing torrential flames all around.

"[The Boundless Blade: Yawning Wave]!"

Zhang Lie raised Guicang into the air, manifesting a sword will that rose into the heavens, strong beyond human understanding, vast as the ocean.

The blazing sun shone brightly, burning mountains and boiling seas, shining in resplendent light and capable of annihilating heavens, of scalding the stars, with a will beyond mortal make. It was bright and yet brimmed with destruction, a boundless purgatory, burning everything in sight.

The sun glowed with splendor. Golden runes patterned the air. Starlight shone through the heavens.
