Chapter 318 A Way (1/2)

Rumble!

In the depths of the Genesis reservoir, giant water pillar after pillar interweaved, forming a giant net that trapped the thousand feet aquatic beast. It desperately struggled, its enormous body repeatedly slamming into the water net, making it bend at alarming angles.

Zhou Yuan stood just outside the net, a grave expression on his face as he watched the struggling beast.

Fortunately, the grade 4 Genesis Rune boundary Ye Ge had clearly spent a tremendous amount of effort to set-up was quite effective, and was able to withstand the repeated charges of the thousand feet aquatic beast.

“It’s a top tier grade 4 Genesis Rune boundary after all.” Zhou Yuan sighed in amazement.

One must know that a grade 4 Genesis Rune boundary and a grade 4 Genesis Rune were on completely different scales.

A Genesis Rune boundary was not merely made from a single Genesis Rune but numerous connected runes of various grades, making it extremely complex. If one compared a Genesis Rune to a cog, a Genesis Rune boundary would be akin to complete clock.

Hence, drawing a Genesis Rune may be relatively simple, while constructing a Genesis Rune boundary was very difficult.

What’s more, this Genesis Rune boundary of Ye Ge’s was top tier even amongst other grade 4 boundaries. Zhou Yuan estimated that even someone with the strength of the ninth layer Alpha-Origin would be trapped by it.

It was clear that Ye Ge had put in a lot of effort into trapping this thousand feet aquatic beast.

“But although this boundary is amazing, it’s only a matter of time before it gets broken by that aquatic beast.” Zhou Yuan fell into thought as he gazed upon the aquatic beast that madly charged into the net time and time again. With a grasp of his hand, the Heavenly Yuan Brush appeared and swiftly transformed into its martial form.

Pchla!

With a jolt of his arm, the snow-white hairs at the brush tip thrust forward like a stream of white. A sharp aura pulsed at the brush tip, deadly without equal.

The snow-white hairs pierced the thousand feet aquatic beast, however, it was basically ineffective on the aquatic beast’s behemoth of a body.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his hands forming a seal as he shouted, “Nine Dragons Canon, eighth dragon!”

Rumble!

Eight beast shaped Genesis Qi dashed out from the top of his head, roaring as they gathered above him. They formed a line, head to tail as they charged into the net and smashed into the aquatic beast’s body.

Berserk undulations devastated the surroundings, making the water churn violently.

However, when the waters returned to calmness again, Zhou Yuan’s brows tightly knitted together. The eight dragons he had sent out had barely inflicted any damage to the thousand feet aquatic beast.

However, it made sense when he thought about it. Although the aquatic beast was already in a seriously injured state, it was a powerful existence that could match a ninth layer Alpha-Origin expert.

Zhou Yuan on the other hand would at best be able to face a fifth layer Alpha-Origin opponent.

Rumble!

After being attacked by Zhou Yuan again, the thousand feet aquatic beast thrashed about agitatedly. It made a crazed charged at the net again, ramming into it again and again.

Under its mad thrashing, ripples began to appear on the water net boundary.

The net was evidently about to reach its limit.

“Is Silver Shadow the only option?” Mumbled Zhou Yuan to himself with a frown. The thousand feet aquatic beast had been gravely injured by Kong Sheng earlier, decreasing its battle power to seventh layer. If Zhou Yuan activated Silver Shadow, he should be able to put up a fight.

However, Silver Shadow was his hidden trump card and many would likely detect it if it was used. He would rather not use Silver Shadow unless he had no other choice.

As such, he muttered to himself as he stared at the water net.

...

Meanwhile, on the surface.
