Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1513: Affects the Balance

On the other side of the crystal barrier, the cultivators already gathered in the safe zone were attacking Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith.

Perhaps because of fear, or because of the exceptional performance that Zhang Lie and the four members of Team Zenith had demonstrated, the competitors wanted to get rid of their opponents.

Despite the fact that the cultivators on the other side of the crystal barrier would ordinarily be prideful individuals, they were currently all cooperating to attack Zhang Lie and the four members of Team Zenith.

All of those who could make it into the safe zone had to have at least a base level of strength. Clearly, the cultivators on the other side of the safe zone were stronger than those that Zhang Lie had just killed.

Under ordinary circumstances, Zhang Lie wouldn't be worried, but the heavenly cordon was rapidly catching up from behind.

The second wave of attacks headed toward them. Zhang Lie and the others made their moves.

"[The Boundless Blade: Yawning Wave]!"

Zhang Lie manifested a sword will that rose into the heavens, strong beyond human understanding, vast as the ocean.

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

The realm, consecrated with the might of a golden sun, resplendent and blazing, was so bright that the spectators had to look away.

The spectators found their souls trembling.

Heaven and earth resonated with the will of the sword and the aura of the godlike being within the sun. A deep scar was left on the crystal barrier.

The cultivators on the other side of the crystal barrier were even more frightened. They shouted shrilly, "We can't let these fellows in! If they make it past the safe zone, we surely won't make it into the finals!"

"They're affecting the balance of the competition. We can't let them remain alive!"

"This is our only chance to kill them. Once they enter the safe zone, we're done for!"

"We've already made a move, so we can't turn back now. If they enter the safe zone, they'll surely target us."

The cultivators on the other side of the safety barrier all struck as one. Their attacks formed a rainbow river of resplendent energy.

"[Light Dragon's Remnants]!"

Li Feng marshaled his genetic energy into the form of a large number of white dragons.

Countless golden leaves whirled around Zhou Ying's body and flew into the air in a tempest, clashing against the barrage of techniques heading their way.

With a low shout, Fang Yi dashed forward with his spear in hand.

Golden lightning surrounded his spear, lightning that was infused with gold-attuned genetic energy. The entire spear turned a gleaming gold, bolstered by wind. Its offensive abilities were greatly augmented, as if the spear itself had been enchanted.

Fang Yi launched his spear, crackling with wind and lightning, with incredible force.

The golden spear sent wind howling and lightning flashing through the sky.

With his spear, he invoked chaotic energy in the form of lightning and raging wind. The spear left a dozen afterimages in its wake as it clashed against the techniques.

"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!"

The temperature dropped to sub-zero values, and a strong wind buffeted the battlefield. Blood-colored frost appeared around the two combatants.

A stellar river materialized in the air. As though the doors to hell had just been thrown open, tens of thousands of serpents rushed out in a flood.

Each serpent was pitch-black like the abyss, like the dark of night, and speckled with starlight, a miniaturized version of the Milky Way. The serpents were guides and ferrymen both, leading departed souls into sky and space, freed from the mortal coil.

As Zhang Lie's sword swung down, the stellar river struck the mortal world.

The noise shook heaven and earth. Each serpent fell like a sharp blade, a meteor that struck the barrage of techniques headed their way.

"Victory is right before us. We have to keep pushing!"

The cultivators in the safe zone struck at full force, ignoring their expenditure of stamina and energy.

Yang Ze whirled around. "We have to hurry!"

The heavenly cordon had made its way over.

The competitors in the safe zone, sensing that their gambit might be successful, that no one would be able to survive such a dense barrage of attacks. Fortunately for Team Zenith, their opponents wouldn't be able to sustain such high-intensity attacks for long. As long as Zhang Lie and the four members of Team Zenith could survive the initial barrage, they would be able to make it into the safe zone.

Unfortunately, the heavenly cordon was right behind them, and they wouldn't be able to wait until the competitors on the other side of the crystal barrier were drained of energy.

Just as they thought that Team Zenith had all perished, purple flames lit up the sky and dyed the crystal barrier purple.

Three arrows, brimming with purple flame, flew forward like tracking missiles. exploding in mid-air among the cultivators in a brilliant burst of fireworks.

The cultivators shrieked, their formation broken.

They shouted, "A traitor! A traitor!"

"Sun Mengmeng!"

Although none of them had seen Sun Mengmeng make her move, the familiar purple flames and technique made the identity of the 'traitor' clear.

Sun Mengmeng had to be the one who had struck on the other end of the crystal barrier.

She then launched a second attack.

"[Lunarflame Shot]!"

Countless arrows of purple flame shot out of her bow like a meteor shower that tinted the air purple and gave the battlefield a phantasmagorical appearance. The air turned dry and arid, as though a cataclysm was nigh.

The cultivators on the other end of the crystal barrier were ill-equipped to deal with a sneak attack. They were instantly on guard against each other as they avoided the flaming purple meteors. In the end, they were all competitors themselves, and they would never be able to remain steadfast allies.

With their attacks having weakened in scale and scope, Zhang Lie immediately took the opportunity to strike.

"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!"

The genetic energy looked as though it had come from the abyss, or perhaps from the expanding, limitless universe. Starlight struck the genetic energy in a flash of surprising beauty.

The night sky morphed into a raging sea. Waves surged forward, sounding like peals of thunder, like stampeding hooves. The universe itself seemed to shake, as though the stars were shifting positions.
