Chapter 144 The Third Rune (1/2)

Roar!

Deep in the mountains.

A golden ape roared as it hammered its chest, creating a thunderous din. Berserk Genesis Qi exploded from its body, shaking the surrounding space.

It eyes fell upon Zhou Yuan as it suddenly shot forward with a sudden stamp of its foot. It appeared above Zhou Yuan in an instant, giant fists hammering downwards with power so wild that even cracks began to appear on the ground below.

Zhou Yuan did not dare to be negligent in the face of the golden ape’s incoming attack. The big guy’s strength had reached the advance Heaven Gate stage, plus it had a strong physical body, traits that made it a pretty tough opponent.

“Dragon Tablet Hand, break the sky!”

Zhou Yuan’s hand was swung, heavy as can be. The howling palm winds that accompanied it blasting away the air.

This attack of his was similarly ferocious to the extreme.

Boom!

The two forces collided in the most violent manner. Berserk Genesis Qi shockwaves immediately unfurled upon impact, causing cracks to extend along the ground, while towering tree after tree was snapped at their waist.

Countless falling leaves were instantly turned to dust.

Roar!

The golden ape’s titanic body jerked, before being sent flying backwards, crashing into a cliff wall as it let out a painful yelp.

Zhou Yuan’s body was also forced a dozen steps back, but what made his face turn a little grave, however, was the strange force contained within the Genesis Qi of the golden ape’s attack that had stealthily exploded when they came into contact.

He had suffered when they clashed earlier, the stealthy explosion making the Qi and blood in his body churn.

“The force should be from some kind of Genesis technique…” There was amazement in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. He could sense that the reason why a mysterious force was hidden within the golden ape’s attack was because it knew a particular Genesis technique.

“Interesting.”

Zhou Yuan laughed as his body rocketed forward. The Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand turning into numerous after images that filled the sky and began to engulf the golden ape.

Ch ch!

The images descended, piercing the golden ape’s defences, carving bloody scar after scar on its giant body.

Roar!

The golden ape roared madly, and suddenly slammed its heavy fists into the ground. A wave of Genesis Qi immediately unfurled, shattering all of the brush images.

Zhou Yuan’s body drifted backwards. He looked at the now crazed ape as he suddenly extended a finger and lightly pointed.

The golden ape’s body abruptly froze. Soon after, it wailed. One could only watch as glowing snow-white hairs suddenly shot out of its body.

The interior of its body had been completely destroyed by the invading hairs, instantly wiping out its lifeforce.

Heavenly Yuan Brush, Erode.

The brush tip shook as the hairs returned like birds to the woods. A Genesis Beast like this was blessed with raw physical strength, but it lacked intelligence. This was why it had been unable to sense the invasion of the hairs.

As the golden ape died, a thick stream of white rose from its body. The mist parted into two like before, pouring into Zhou Yuan and the Heavenly Yuan Brush.

A smile emerged on Zhou Yuan’s face as he felt the increasingly bountiful Genesis Qi in his Qi Dwelling.
