Ultragene Warlord Chapter 981: Somethings Wrong

Chapter 981: Something’s Wrong

Everyone shook visibly. What a crazy plan this was…

The blood lord explained, “As commanders of superior worlds, all of you surely know that there exists another realm beneath this realm, known as the sura realm.”

The commanders nodded. As those in positions of power, they were trusted by their respective superior kings and had commensurate knowledge about their realm. They were aware of the existence of the sura realm.

The blood lord continued, “I initially learned of it from a few aliens. The death spirit king, as someone who has the power to go against the other nine superior worlds combined, must likewise be aware of its existence. After analyzing the data I received from these aliens, I came to an unexpected conclusion. There are many dimensional cracks in the third realm. Through these cracks, you can pass into the second realm, the sura realm—though at a price.”

Zhang Lie was also shocked. “The death spirit king isn’t intending to attack the sura realm, is he?”

The sura realm was where his kingdom of Limit was located. There were large numbers of humans there, as well as disciples of the Zenith Dojo. Most importantly, there were many people that Zhang Lie knew well in the second realm.

The blood lord nodded and continued, “Once the death spirit king learned of the means by which he could descend to the sura realm, he decided to do so in order to strengthen his base of power while waiting for the superior worlds to grow lax. Even he would be hard-pressed to absorb the three thousand worlds of the third realm at the moment—instead, he can easily start by absorbing the world’s energy of lower realms and grow stronger before trying to absorb the third realm again.”

Zhang Lie recalled his past life. Back then, the death spirit king hadn’t attacked the second realm. Had they successfully prevented his plan then? In his past life, the allied forces had suffered greatly as a result of this confrontation. Could that have been because they were trying to stop the death spirit king’s frightening plan?

The blood lord added, “As far as I’m aware, the death spirits found a huge dimensional crack that connected to the second realm. The death spirit king used his own strength to forcibly widen that crack until it was large enough to accommodate a great deal of troops. His intention is to send a huge number of black spirits through the crack into the second realm.”

Zhang Lie murmured thoughtfully, “As far as I know, descending from the third realm to the second will transport you to an unknown location in the second realm, and you’ll have to pay a heavy price for it.”

Musi Yu was the quintessential example.

“The death spirit king’s forces will certainly suffer greatly as a result, and he might not be able to gain anything by taking this risk. It wasn’t certain how much of the black spirits’ combat strength could be preserved if they were to descend to the second realm, and it was certainly plausible for the hunters of Limit to be able to dispatch them easily.”

The blood lord asked, “And if they were to bring a few of their battleships with them?”

Zhang Lie’s expression grew far more serious. If these battleships were able to descend to the second realm, even if they lost partial functionality, they would be particularly troublesome to deal with.

The battleships had the potent ability to convert living beings into black spirits. Even without any combat strength being preserved, that ability alone would prove disastrous for the second realm.

Zhang Lie asked, “Surely the will of the third realm and of the sura realm will stop this incursion?”

“The will of the third realm has been dormant for millennia, and no one knows whether it’ll make a move. Do you think the will of the sura realm will be any match for the death spirit king?”

If the will of the third realm were going to play an active role in the management of the realm, it would already have stopped the death spirit king from consuming the various wills of the world.

Even if the death spirit king were to send his forces into the sura realm, the will of the third realm would do nothing about it. At the very least, Zhang Lie couldn’t count on external help.

Until the death spirit king were strong enough to threaten the will of the third realm itself, it wouldn’t make a move—and by then, it would be too late.

The blood lord continued, “The death spirit king is intending to dispatch black spirits into the sura realm, destroy it, then transfer the resulting world’s energy back into the third realm.”

Nightdemon spoke up. “If that’s truly the death spirit king’s plan, we have to stop him at any cost. The death spirit king would be unstoppable if he were to grow any stronger.”

The other commanders agreed.

The blood lord said, “I’ve already sent several of my kin to spy on the death spirits, and I know where the dimensional crack is located. We can stop their plan at any time.”

The frost spirit commander nodded. “After an exhausting battle, our fighters are likely all weary and exhausted, and it’s not ideal to fight under such circumstances. We can let them rest for the night and set off tomorrow to topple the death spirit king’s plans.”

The other commanders all agreed.

After Zhang Lie returned to the draconian party, Hong Xi asked, “Master, how did the discussions go?”

Zhang Lie thought for a moment. “During the battle tomorrow, Hanxiang, leave with the draconian world’s forces. Don’t participate.”

“Why?” Zhang Hanxiang asked.

Hong Xi frowned. “Master, was there a problem during the meeting?”

Zhang Lie mirrored her frown. “There wasn’t—but something feels very strange.”

“What was strange about it?” Hong Xi asked.

“I can’t put my finger on it, but there’s something fishy going on.”

Zhang Lie knew that, in his past life, the allied forces had suffered greatly during this battle, allowing the death spirits to set their plans in motion. However, he couldn’t reveal this information to the two women.

He was confident that he could survive even on the worst of battlefields, but not Zhang Hanxiang.

Zhang Hanxiang’s brows grew furrowed. “Brother, are you undergoing menopause?”

“What?!”

“You’re losing sleep, you’re feeling bothered, and you’re becoming suspicious of everything!” Zhang Hanxiang ticked the criteria off with her fingers.

Zhang Lie glared at his sister. “The first and the third aren’t true, and the second is all because of you!”

Zhang Hanxiang consoled her brother. “Brother, there’s no need to worry too much. Wouldn’t it be strange for the other worlds to see you sending your forces away without being able to explain why?”

Zhang Lie nodded grudgingly.

Even if a mishap were to occur, Zhang Lie would be able to save Zhang Hanxiang and Hong Xi. He wouldn’t mind saving the other humans and draconian forces if he could, but under unforeseen circumstances, the only lives he could guarantee were the two women.

However, by now, there were fewer and fewer calamities that he couldn’t control in the third realm…
