Ultragene Warlord

Resplendent Sun counter-attacked. This time, his flames didn't burn blood-red, but white-gold. Sword energy manifested around him, and the ground seemed to shine with radiant, divine light, as though a sword of the heavens had descended to the mortal world.

His bejeweled vase, like a divine sword, sent out tens of thousands of blades of sword energy that drowned Zhang Lie.

"[Shadow and Light]!" Time suddenly sped up in the vicinity of Zhang Lie.

With Guicang, Zhang Lie countered the tens of thousands of streams of sword energy in the air with a furious clash of metal against metal. Zhang Lie transformed into a beam of dazzling light, piercing through Resplendent Sun's technique and shooting forward.

"[Endless Slash]!" Resplendent Sun shouted, aiming the vase at Zhang Lie and sending a torrential burst of sword energy toward him.

Zhang Lie's clothes shone with light, protecting himself. He held his palms together, causing radiant moonlight and sunlight to explode forth.

"[First Form: Parting the River]!"

Bright sword energy radiated from Zhang Lie like brilliant rays of sunlight, illuminating the entirety of the world.

A frightening force spread out from Zhang Lie, energy rumbling and rippling around him. As Zhang Lie swung the blade in his hand, a huge slash of sword energy shot toward him.

Zhang Lie's sword, infused with tremendous energy, struck the bejeweled vase with a huge boom, causing it to explode in a burst of golden light, igniting even the heavens themselves.

Both combatants stood amidst a raging sea of golden flames, each focused on the other.

Resplendent Sun cried out, "You've destroyed my clan's relic!"

Zhang Lie waved Guicang. "I've done it before." Indeed, smashing apart something real felt different from smashing apart something virtual.

"I'll kill you!" Resplendent Sun cried out. A divine glow emanated from his body, along with golden flames. He himself transformed into a divine weapon that tore through the heavens, splitting the sky in twain.

"[Limitless Golden Sun Slash]!" Resplendent Sun transformed into a huge solar sword that tore apart the void and shook the very stars.

Light flared as though the sun itself had descended to the mortal world.

Zhang Lie unsheathed Hanguang, sending a huge wave of sword energy into the air. Pale blue genetic energy transformed into a raging sea, cutting apart the world.

The two weapons met in mid-air, golden and pale blue genetic energy transforming into dual, competing hurricanes.

"I've been eagerly awaiting this match for too long!"

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

Resplendent Sun was forced back in the clash.

When Zhang Lie first encountered Radiant Sun, because Bu Wentian was no match for him, the trial ended halfway through the fight.

Although Zhang Lie had passed the trial, he wasn't at all happy about doing so. Without fighting with Radiant Sun for real, he wouldn't be able to identify the limits of his opponent's strength.

He hadn't expected to encounter another member of the Solarvine race during the qualifiers. Compared to Radiant Sun, Resplendent Sun was even stronger.

Resplendent Sun changed tactics. Rather than a sword that could cut through everything, he focused on the aspect of flexibility. Once again, a screen of sword energy covered the air.

Resplendent Sun's swordplay was infinitely flexible, shifting from one moment to the next and keeping his opponent in the dark. Resplendent Sun was, undoubtedly, a swordmaster worthy of the title. Within moments, he had changed sword styles entirely, truly having transformed his body into a sword.

A solar flare blossomed around Resplendent Sun, infusing unadulterated sword energy into his techniques and making them even harder to block.

"[Syzygy]!"

A pitch-black sun appeared behind Zhang Lie, and a blood moon by his feet. His aura was magnified tenfold, and a halo of black sun appeared above his forehead. Natural law seemed to warp around him. Runes likewise appeared on the bloody moon by his feet, forming an intricate array.

Resplendent Sun's energy was drained as Zhang Lie's energy was magnified.

Zhang Lie crossed his twin blades. The blood moon resonated with the blade in his left hand, and the black sun with the blade in his right.

The black sun's flames strengthened Zhang Lie's attacks and burned away Li Feng's. As the realms of reality and illusion inverted, Zhang Lie simultaneously slashed forward with both blades, forming a huge celestial web.

The blood moon and black sun's sword energy intersected in the air, clashing directly against Resplendent Sun's solar storm. Neither combatant seemed to have the advantage. Resplendent Sun's flexible sword style attacked Zhang Lie's weakest points of defense in a difficult-to-block manner, but Zhang Lie's attacks were fast, forceful, and without glaring weak spots, allowing him to block the attacks directly.

The solar vine soared into the air. Solar energy emanated from it, transforming into a giant sun. A pillar of golden light shot down rays in the form of sword energy, bolstering Resplendent Sun and augmenting his transformation.

As the solar vine struck, a giant sword fell from the skies, breaking through the cloud cover. It was reinforced by solar might, as though the sun itself were falling from the sky.

"[Blades, Reverberate]!"

A blood dragon materialized 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.

The twin blades Guicang and Hanguang emitted a fearsome aura, shining as brightly as the sun and moon. Sword energy materialized from Guicang into a blood dragon that revolved around his body.

The blade Hanguang morphed into a black dragon, and the blade Guicang into a blood dragon. The two dragons, coiling together as one, shot out toward Zhou Ying like a hurricane, bearing down on him with the might of Zhang Lie's spiritual sea between them.
