Chapter 1092: Zhang Lies Arrival

Chapter 1092: Zhang Lie's Arrival Yang Ze retaliated with a sword technique. "[The Boundless Blade: Shark Frenzy]!"

Waves suddenly appeared in the sky, shimmering like a mirage. Spatial fluctuations rippled as Yang Ze activated [Mirrored Refraction]. However, the palm formed of gray fluid crushed the technique in an instant.

It tried to grab at Yang Ze, only to pass through his body harmlessly.

At some point, Yang Ze had flown out of reach, leaving nothing more than a mirage behind.

"You'd better practice harder if you want to catch me!"

Thanks to the explosion of ninety thousand crystalline lotuses, there was plenty of water-attuned genetic energy at Yang Ze's feet. He manipulated that energy into mist, then summoned sharks within that mist.

To the sharks, the mist was like water.

The pale gray fluid was different from any enemy Yang Ze had fought to date. Huge numbers of malformed monstrosities were birthed from within the pale gray fluid. They bit and tore at the sharks, almost as though this were a fight between summoner and summoner.

Huge quantities of gray fluid emerged from the abyssal trenches. They coalesced into huge palms.

"[The Boundless Blade: Yawning Wave]!" Yang Ze struck again. His sword flashed with ripples and slashed apart one palm. The other palms continued grasping at him, coming from all directions, leaving him no room to make a mirage and flee.

Even so, they didn't manage to catch Yang Ze. Yang Ze's body rippled as they tore through him.

Yang Ze laughed. "Haha, how's that?"

This was the effect of [Reflected Sight, Refracted Vision], a technique that combined spatial force and water-attuned genetic energy.

As expected of a superior king of antiquity, the king of evil quickly recognized what Yang Ze was doing and locked down the ability to distort and manipulate space within the vicinity of the unclean world.

Yang Ze grew infuriated. "What am I supposed to do now?!"

The pale gray fluid formed more palms that tried to catch Yang Ze.

As Yang Ze dodged, he shouted, "Asshole! Let me attack you with all my tricks if you dare!"

Even more palms formed.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea]!" Yang Ze invoked his authority over space, which combined with his water-attuned genetic energy and formed circlets around his arms.

As he punched forward, ripples spread out all around his arm, disrupting the gray fluid that made up the manifold palms.

Subsequently, all those palms burst apart in front of him in a rain of fluid. Yang Ze hurriedly dashed back.

The green gases that the fluid gave off were already very corrosive; it was apparent that the fluid would be even worse.

Yang Ze waved the sword in his hand. A current swirled around the sword, deflecting all gray fluid that came his way. Yang Ze was very adept with his sword, and the gray fluid was unable to get close to him. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøvᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

However, he didn't notice that the gray fluid beneath him had suddenly erupted. Deflecting all the fluid around already required a huge consumption of mental stamina, and he was caught unawares by the eruption from beneath.

Even so, the king of evil was flabbergasted to see the gray fluid slide harmlessly past Yang Ze.

Yang Ze began to roar in laughter. "Haha, you didn't expect it, did you? Do you really think I dared to enter a superior world of antiquity without any preparations?"

Yang Ze had expected to encounter the king of evil, after all. "Of course I'd prepare a trump card beforehand!"

Yang Ze's trump card was the combination of karma and fate. Ever since he had imbibed Potion #4, Yang Ze had felt a tenuous connection to karma.

If Zhang Lie were present, he would call Yang Ze's power an inversion of heaven's might. Yang Ze's dodging ability reversed cause and effect.

The next moment, as though the entirety of the unclean world were about to explode, even more gray fluid emerged from the abyssal trenches. Yang Ze could hardly have imagined that all this fluid could fit within.

"What, you can't take a joke?"

Yang Ze was able to dodge any attack where he had even the slightest possibility of dodging it, but if the king of evil were to launch something coming at him from all directions, his boon might very well be nullified.

With all his tricks spent, Yang Ze wasn't certain exactly how to react to this next attack.

Suddenly, however, water-attuned genetic energy erupted from above him, a boundless ocean's worth. Yang Ze didn't have genetic energy of this magnitude. To the best of his knowledge, only one person did.

"Captain!"

A frightening aura descended on the world. The skies began to darken, and a fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.

A howling gale swept over the unclean world. As more and more genetic energy gathered around Zhang Lie's arms, it looked as though he were at the heart of a whirlpool.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Soar]!" A huge wave soared into the air. As Zhang Lie punched forward, the fish slammed its huge tail on the ground and sent a torrent of water surging into the air.

Ripples of energy spread out from Zhang Lie, warping the space around him. The towering waves looked like enraged black dragons, and they swamped the abyssal trenches.

The genetic energy swamped and nullified the effect of the gray fluid. The ground cracked, and huge holes were formed in the abyssal trenches.

Yang Ze raised his head to see Zhang Lie descending like a god from the heavens.

"Captain, you're finally here!" Yang Ze called out, waving madly at him.

Zhang Lie slowly landed beside Yang Ze.

"Captain, I thought I might never see you again!" Yang Ze hugged Zhang Lie's thigh tightly.

Zhang Lie pushed him off and grumbled, "Didn't I tell you that you were only supposed to scout?"

Yang Ze fibbed, "I did come here to scout, but the king of evil discovered me! Of course I had to retaliate once he started launching blows my way."

Yang Ze didn't even blink when he lied.

Beneath them, the trenches exploded with gray matter once again.

Yang Ze patted his chest. "Now that my captain's here, I've nothing to fear from you! [The Boundless Blade: Dragonwhale]!"

In the blink of an eye, Yang Ze was surrounded by a patch of ocean.

The lapping of waves echoed through the battlefield. They grew and grew, reaching a crescendo and rising into the sky like a tsunami, manifesting in the form of a huge whale. crescendo

The whale's body was long and streamlined, with long whiskers and scales patterning its body. It squashed the gray fluid as it fell to the unclean world, concentrated water-attuned genetic energy exploding forth in the form of waves amidst the gray fluid...
