<h4>Chapter 837: Worldshaker</h4>


    Zhang Lie didn''t have time to slowly and leisurely hunt down disaster-grade lifeforms. As he clenched his fists, blue gic energy gathered and rippled around his arms. He flicked his wrists, spawning a frightening aura in the rapidly darkening skies. A fish the size of a whale materialized in the air.


    As more and more gic 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 mmed its huge tail on the ground and sent a torrent of water surging forth.


    The ocean waves swallowed up the entire mountain range as shockwaves surged forth from Zhang Lie, as though a rampaging beast were devouring everything in sight.


    Zhang Lie found that he was mistaken. There was no disaster-grade lifeform within the mountain range—the mountain range itself was the lifeform.


    Amidst billowing clouds of smoke, a gigantic figure suddenly made itself known. It roared so loudly into the skies that the entire world seemed to tremble. A gale blew away the smoke that had diffused into the air.


    Its head was that of a hippopotamus, its limbs those of a lion, its back and tail those of a crocodile. Its tail was as straight as a log, its muscles bunched up like rocks. It opened its maw wide, so wide it seemed as though it could swallow up an entire mountain, and swiped forward with its long ws. Zhang Lie was forced to dodge.


    The ws rent the space behind Zhang Lie for thousands of miles, cutting apart the mountain thaty behind him.


    Zhang Lie punched forward with his fists, forming a hurricane with his gic energy. Bahamut suddenly sucked all that energy into his ck hole of a mouth, consuming Zhang Lie''s pale blue gic energypletely.


    To think there would be a disaster-grade lifeform able to swallow up his whole attack without suffering any side effects...


    "[Ninecarp Transformation: Golden Tiger]!" The image of a golden tiger appeared behind Zhang Lie''s back, and its roar echoed through the air. It looked somehow metallic, as though it were constructed straight out of gold, and a pair of ded wings formed twin mountains on its back.


    Zhang Lie''s body itself underwent a transformation. His hair turned silvery-white, until they became akin to silver needles. His gic energy likewise became more honed. Silvery-white gic energy gathered over his body, and tigers'' stripes appeared on his arms. His eyes became those of a tiger''s, and steely sharpness erupted from every pore.


    "Let''s see what else you can suck into your mouth! [Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"


    The condensed gic energy solidified into sharp silver crystals, which shot out with Zhang Lie''s attack. They tore apart the sky as they prated space.


    Bahamut opened its maw wide once more, sucking up the silver crystals—which pierced straight through its head. It was unable to break down Zhang Lie''s attack in time.


    "As I predicted!"


    The reason Bahamut was able to swallow its opponents'' attacks had to be because of the unusual biology of its body or its disaster-grade domain. Unlike other disaster-grade lifeforms, its domain wasn''t something that could be imposed on its environment, but was rather something that activated within its body.


    Zhang Lie suspected that Bahamut''s domain was something like a ck hole hidden in its stomach, allowing it to consume its opponents'' attacks without damaging its body.


    However, no domain was invincible. Just like how Zhang Lie had managed to break apart the bearman deity''s domain of sharpness with condensed sword energy, his golden tiger transformation''s prating attacks would be the worst match for Bahamut''s domain.


    Bahamut itself was very surprised: this was the first time it had encountered an enemy whose attacks it wasn''t able to consume.


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


    A crystal wall appeared behind Zhang Lie, reflecting light in five colors, so dazzling it dazed any who looked at it, so beautiful it sparked their desire.


    As Zhang Lie manipted space, that crystalline gic energy shot out of the wall behind him in the form of sharp daggers,bining water-attuned gic energy and spatial fluctuations into potent silver beams that could pierce through anything.


    The silver light shot toward Bahamut like raindrops in a storm. Realizing that it wouldn''t be able to absorb these attacks, Bahamut swiped at the beams with its ws.


    The golden tiger''s attacks boasted such fearsome prating power that Bahamut found it difficult to counter them. The silver beams left scars and long streaks of wounds along his body. After the bombardment, Bahamut''s body was shot through with holes. Only the vitality of a disaster-grade lifeform allowed it to remain standing.


    Taking advantage of his foe''s weakness, Zhang Lie transformed into a dragonwolf with russet fur and limbs covered with dragons'' scales. His aura became magnified as a hurricane of blood spawned around him.


    The next moment, Zhang Lie vanished from sight and appeared in front of Bahamut''s body. His ws rent at the sky, at the void. Bahamut matched Zhang Lie''s ws with its own, sorge Zhang Lie''s ws looked like toothpicks inparison. Physically, it seemed impossible that Zhang Lie''s ws would be able to affect Bahamut''s, but it was Bahamut who ended up yielding under the blow.


    "It''s over!" Zhang Lie condensed his gic energy. Sharp white crystals manifested around his body like silvery-white starlight, glimmering in the air. "[Fists of the Silent Sea: Hundred Dragons Soaring]!"


    As he cocked his fist, dozens of crystalline dragons formed behind his back, roaring in unison and causing theva to quake. Their bodies were translucent, and they gave off light in all the colors of the rainbow as the sunlight struck them.


    They roared into the air, causing the entire world to quake. The next moment, they shot out through his fists, hundreds of them in all, criss-crossing in the sky. Their silvery-white scales, like angels'' feathers, covered up the entire sky and turned it into a sea through which the crystalline dragons swam.


    The silver dragons annihted Bahamut, leaving only crystalline fragments on the ground where it once rested, along with a sparkling disaster-grade core. The ck disaster-grade core seemed to harbor a humongous ck hole that sucked everything nearby into it.


    Zhang Lie picked up the core, found himself surrounded by spatial fluctuations, and vanished from the spot.


    The next moment, he appeared in the ck desert and began absorbing hisst disaster-grade core with undisguised anticipation.


    Subsequently, a frightening burst of energy shook the entirety of the draconian world.


    Humans, draconians, and other races alike all looked toward the ck desert that hadbined with the draconian world. White clouds spiraled overhead; the stars shone and glimmered with sudden brightness. All life in the world could feel that some unusual disturbance was happening right then and there.


    The moment Zhang Lie capped his disaster gene fragments, energy began swelling from him. The draconian sage tried to suppress the energy, but he found that he was unable to do even that despite being the king of the realm of this world. All he could do was to transfer the energy into outer space, but even that became problematic...
