Chapter 1020 Sneaking In (1/2)

An enormous battlefield stretched across the sky. Berserk Genesis Qi erupted from nearly every corner, blood saturating the air as the desperate fighting continued.

The endless sea of trees was flattened, the ground was ripped open, and the countless mountains smashed to pieces.

While the fighting spread like wildfire, a shadow appeared outside the Genesis Rune boundary of the alliance army camp.

Hidden in the shadow, Zhou Yuan swept his gaze across the enormous boundary. The boundless Genesis Qi that flowed within secretly astonished even someone like him. This boundary was very high tier and possessed impressive power. If not, it would not be to protect the enemy headquarters.

Before such a boundary, even all of his initial Heavenly Sun stage strength would not be able to leave a dent.

However, if force didn’t work, he could always use finesse.

“Decoder Saint Rune!”

An ancient Saint Rune appeared from deep within Zhou Yuan’s eyes and began to rotate slowly.

The Decoder Saint Rune was the first Saint Rune Zhou Yuan had obtained. Although it did not directly boost his combat capabilities, it gave him the ability to find numerous weaknesses, and it was the best tool to use against a Genesis Rune boundary.

A Genesis Rune boundary was formed from countless connected Genesis Runes, and every link would have an almost impossible to detect imperfection or weakness. Such weaknesses were extremely faint and required an extremely powerful Spirit and a deep understanding of Genesis Runes to find with Spirit senses alone.

The Decoder Saint Rune could find these weaknesses.

When Zhou Yuan activated the Decoder Saint Rune, the Genesis Rune boundary before his eyes began to change. It was no longer a Genesis Qi barrier but countless complex circulating Genesis Runes.

Even with the Decoder Saint Rune’s help, the scale of the boundary and the innumerable flowing runes made him feel a piercing pain from his glabella. However, he forcibly suppressed the pain.

The Saint Rune continued to rotate in his eyes as it began to identify the tiny weaknesses at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, half an incense stick of time passed.

Two lines of blood flowed down the corners of Zhou Yuan’s eyes, making him look rather terrifying.

Huu.

His wide-open eyes finally began to close slowly.

Zhou Yuan wiped away the blood as the corners of his lips curled slightly. “The Decoder Saint Rune is amazing as usual.”

Even a Nascent Source expert would find it difficult to break open such a boundary within a short period, but with the Decoder Saint Rune, he had found an opening.

These runes could not destroy the boundary, but they were akin to a virus. After merging into the boundary, they swiftly rendered a small area ineffective.

After a few breaths, a long and narrow crack appeared in the boundary.

A faint smile emerged on Zhou Yuan’s face, and he cast one final glance at the battlefield before casting away all hesitation. He turned into a shadow as he dashed through the crack.

After Zhou Yuan disappeared, the crack slowly resealed.

Several hundred Genesis Rune experts were seated at a certain location in the camp. They were the ones overseeing the boundary. One of them suddenly looked towards a certain spot on the glowing crystal ball before him and frowned. He had sensed a slight disturbance.

However, the disturbance was far too faint. Hence, he hesitated only for a moment before shifting his gaze away.

...

Clang!

High up in the sky, Qin Lian swung her fire sparrow broadsword. The blade danced in the air as the cry of a sparrow rang out across the horizon. Torrential scarlet light radiated as she fought with the Wang brothers and Ji Hu.
