Chapter 473: Chapter 473 Attack The Source Itself
"No one can touch the Three Pure Ancient Tree!" The harsh yelling echoed once more, sparking an even more brutal assault toward me!
I dodged while thinking through my approach.
But right now, the Guardian’s power had already grown dramatically, nearing the strength of a half-step Martial Marquis!
With my attention split, the Guardian managed to find an opening.
"Clang!"
A vicious steel blade brutally cut down across my shoulder.
My shoulder instantly split open with a bloody wound, even slightly cracking the bone.
"Damn, if this keeps up, I won’t get a shot at taking the Three Pure Ancient Tree." My expression turned pretty grim.
I never would’ve thought the Guardian would be this tough to handle.
"I can’t rely on raw power. I need to get smart about this." I used my Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique and pulled back fast.
I extended my divine sense, searching for the Guardian’s weak point.
Too bad the Guardian was just a spiritual being with no obvious flaws.
"Bang!"
Another steel blade scraped my forehead before smashing into the rock behind me.
The boulder exploded on contact.
I stepped backward, automatically wiping sweat from my brow.
"Buzz!"
The Guardian charged forward again, his speed multiplying several times!
I had nowhere to run, so I made a fist and fought back!
"Boom!"
My Golden Fist crashed into the Guardian’s head.
This time, the Guardian didn’t blow up but staggered back a few steps.
"Shit!" Seeing this, I got more and more worried.
If I killed the Guardian again, I might not be able to handle the next version that came back!
"Get out!" The Guardian, like he was pissed off by me, swung his steel blade in wild attacks.
I couldn’t kill him or block his strikes, so I could only keep dodging.
The area around us got smashed to bits, turning into chaos instantly.
Still, the Guardian’s attacks didn’t let up, hell-bent on making me back down.
"Wait?"
Right then, my eyes widened!
I was shocked to see that something looked weird about the surroundings!
"The boulder that got destroyed before is back to normal?" I stared hard at the rock, completely amazed!
I quickly looked around the area.
Sure enough, the mess the Guardian had made before was slowly fixing itself!
"Got it!" Seeing this, I suddenly figured it out!
In this place, it wasn’t just the Guardian who could come back - everything here could regenerate too.
Both the Guardian and the boulder were just pieces of this environment!
"I get it now." I jumped up, flying through the air.
"My mistake was focusing on the Guardian." I said seriously.
Really, the actual issue was the environment itself!
In other words, there was definitely a formation here. As long as the formation stayed whole, everything inside could regenerate forever!
"Every formation has Array Eyes. If I wreck the Array Eyes, the Guardian will naturally vanish." A relieved grin crossed my face.
"Get out!" The Guardian came at me again!
I used my Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique and kept dodging.
At the same time, I spread my divine sense across the whole area, trying to find the Array Eyes.
"Clang!"
In this situation, my speed dropped big time, and the Guardian’s blade hit my chest again.
I ignored my injuries and put everything into locating the Array Eyes.
"Maybe it’s that crystal?" I frowned, staring at the glowing crystal nearby.
I wasn’t sure, so I charged up Golden Light and punched it.
The crystal broke apart, but the Guardian didn’t show any signs of disappearing.
"Guess it’s not that one." I frowned hard.
Made sense - the Array Eye wouldn’t be that obvious.
"Or maybe that busted rock?"
Like I was running around blind, I kept destroying everything around me.
For a full hour, I was already breathing hard and worn out, but I still hadn’t found where the Array Eye was. Instead, I’d made the Guardian furious.
"Weird." I ran while wiping sweat off my forehead.
My face looked pretty bad - I’d crushed almost everything in the area, but I still couldn’t locate the Array Eye.
"Where the hell is the Array Eye..." I muttered under my breath, looking kind of desperate.
If this continued, I might actually die here!
"Buzz!"
The Guardian’s steel knife came down hard at my head.
I felt my brain take a massive hit and nearly collapsed.
"Damn it!"
This attack really set me off. I grabbed my Golden Fist and slammed it at the Guardian!
With this punch, the Guardian finally went down and slowly faded away.
But in half a second, the Guardian showed up again!
This time, the strength of the reborn Guardian had reached an unbelievable level!
"Half-step Martial Marquis!"
Sensing the aura coming off the Guardian, my face looked awful!
In my current condition, beating a Half-step Martial Marquis wouldn’t be easy!
"Leave now!" The Guardian shouted.
I didn’t dare mess around and stared at the Guardian with a serious expression.
Right then, I suddenly seemed to remember something.
My eyes lit up, and I looked up at the massive Hydrating Tower!
"Could it be... the Hydrating Tower is the Array Eye of this formation?!" I cried out in shock.
Besides this, I couldn’t think of any other option!
Like they say, the most dangerous spot is the safest spot. This Array Eye might be the Hydrating Tower itself!
"Whatever, I’ll just have to risk everything." I took a deep breath and whispered.
With that thought, I moved my foot and jumped up urgently.
In one leap, I reached the top of the Hydrating Tower.
Then, I put away the Venerable Fifth Mountain and stepped through the exit.
Outside the entrance, Elder Adrianne was anxiously watching me.
Seeing me come out, Elder Adrianne immediately grinned and said, "Mason, how’d it go? Is it done?"
I didn’t say anything.
If I was going to destroy the Hydrating Tower, Elder Adrianne definitely wouldn’t be okay with it.
This whole act couldn’t continue, so obviously there was no point in keep sucking up to Elder Adrianne.
I moved my foot, and my body shot into the sky.
I looked down at the Hydrating Tower with overwhelming presence from top to bottom.
Golden Light floated in the air, like a second sun appearing.
What’s more, the Golden Light I held in my fist gave off intense intimidation!
Seeing this, Elder Adrianne sensed something was off.
With a somewhat worried voice, he said, "Mason... what are you planning to do?"
I didn’t answer, just muttered quietly, "I can only give it a shot."
Before I finished speaking, my fist roared down and hit the Hydrating Tower hard!
"Boom!"
In an instant, the entire Hydrating Tower shook and tons of debris came tumbling down!
"Mason, what the hell are you doing?!" Elder Adrianne suddenly panicked, and light flashed in his hands, getting ready to act.
I didn’t worry about Elder Adrianne. I could only do my best to punch the Hydrating Tower one more time!
"Boom!"
Under this punch, the Hydrating Tower finally couldn’t take it anymore and started collapsing with a thunderous crash!
