Chapter 560 Mythic Copper Worm Tree (2/2)

“Go, help chief disciple Zhou Yuan!” The other disciples immediately yelled when they saw this, as they unleashed a power barrage of Genesis Qi attacks that clashed with the innumerable branches.

Boom!

Berserk Genesis Qi undualtions swept outwards, disintegrating the many scattered rocks on the ground.

With the fierceness of their attacks and their advantage in numbers, it was not surprising that the disciples took the upper hand, and forced back the copper branches. However, the old copper tree clearly possessed extremely unique abilities. The branches that had been blasted apart quickly regrew, while Genesis Qi surged out to block the attacks of the Cangxuan Sect disciples.

Zhou Yuan watched this scene in astonishment. One must know that these disciples were the elites of the Cangxuan Sect, and were genius level individuals even if placed somewhere else.

And yet, their combined might did not seem to be of much use against the old copper tree?

However, he could also see that the old copper tree’s regenerative abilities were amazing. It managed to swiftly recover no matter how much damage it sustained, while also having an endless supply of Genesis Qi.

Without the other disciples to take some of the pressure off him, Zhou Yuan would have likely been beaten black and blue in a one on one fight.

Gu Hongyi suddenly appeared beside Zhou Yuan and said in a low voice, “Zhou Yuan, this is likely a Mythic Copper Worm Tree.”

“Mythic Copper Worm Tree?” Zhou Yuan was taken aback.

“It’s a very peculiar Genesis Beast. The tree on the outside is merely a shell, while its true face is the Mythic Copper Worm hidden within. If the worm is not killed, the copper tree will be akin to an immortal and can keep fighting indefinitely.”

“However, the Mythic Copper Worm is extremely skilled at hiding itself, and has basically fused with the tree, making it impossible to find.” Worry appeared on Gu Hongyi’s pretty face. If they failed to find the Mythic Copper Worm, even a Chosen would not be able to kill this creature.

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly. He had not expected to encounter such a troublesome opponent in their first battle.

Gu Hongyi hesitated for a moment, before she said. “My advice is to retreat to prevent needlessly exhausting our energy here. There’s after all many factions in the area, and if we deplete too much of our energy, others may take advantage.”

Zhou Yuan slowly said, “But there’s at least an eighty percent chance that there will be three-color Mythic Genesis essence here.”

Gu Hongyi gently bit into her red lips. The appearance of the Mythic Copper Worm Tree was indeed a sign that this was no ordinary location. Hence, it was highly likely that there was indeed three-color Genesis essence here.

“But the Mythic Copper Worm Tree is too difficult to deal with…” She smiled bitterly.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers rhythmically tapping the Heavenly Yuan Brush as he muttered, “Good at hiding itself huh…”

After a dozen breaths, his fingers suddenly paused as a smile appeared from the corners of his mouth.

His eyes closed for a moment, before opening again a split second later.

“Decoder Saint Rune!”

The world before him instantly began to change. Zhou Yuan’s gaze locked onto the old tree, as it began to transform. Next, he saw a green foot long worm appear, lazily lounging about at a certain spot on the tree.

It was absorbing Genesis Qi from the earth through the tree branches, and then pouring it into the tree that was still fighting against the numerous disciples.

However, it suddenly jerked at this moment, as it lifted its eyes to look in Zhou Yuan in shock and fear, evidently sensing that its body had been detected.

A feeling of dread enveloped it as it quickly shuttled downwards, intending to flee into the ground.

Swoosh!

Zhou Yuan’s figure abruptly etherealized as he dashed forward.

Countless copper branches stabbed towards him, but were unable to touch even the corner of his clothes. Under the astonished gazes of the numerous disciples, he appeared directly in front of the tree trunk.

“Genesis Breaker!”

The Heavenly Yuan Brush’s white hairs rapidly took on a pitch-black luster, gleaming with peerless unstoppable sharpness.

Bzz!

All everyone saw was a flash of black that thrust towards a certain spot on the copper tree.

Ch!

Black light easily pierced the tough copper bark, before suddenly sweeping to the side. The entire trunk seemed to have been cut into half.

However, the tree trunk did not regrow anymore, because a miserable shriek rang out when the brush tip swung to the side. All the disciples saw a green foot long worm being lifted by the brush, violently struggling before its life force slowly faded.

Rumble!

In the wake of the green worm’s death, the old tree crumbled with a loud rumble.

Bzz bzz!

When the ancient tree fell, strands of light suddenly rose from its remains.

Three colors could be seen in the light as it swirled mysteriously. It was as if it was born from the earth, and gave off a mystical sensation.

Everyone’s gazes were glued to the light. In the next instant, ecstasy began to flood their faces.

All of them knew exactly what it was… it was the very thing they yearned for the most in the Mythic Utopia...

Mythic Genesis essence!

And it was even tri-colored!
