Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2335 Too Decisive
Qu Jianlei and Han Li Zhenzun were far from the battlefield, but once they launched their attack, it was not convenient for them to completely conceal themselves.

Some roaming Zerg spotted them and launched an attack.

However, this was no big deal for Han Li. With a thought, he could easily set up a small field.

The field doesn't need to be too strong; just a slight delay is enough for Qu Jianlei to finish off the opponent.

The battle was really easy, lasting only about three hours, with only the main force left struggling to hold on.

The Zerg are based on a pantheon of deities and their information gathering and transmission speed is far superior to that of the Treants.

After the initial chaos, they adjusted their tactics, established a defensive system, and the battle gradually became more organized.

The battle between the Tree Clan and the Tapir Clan was still a chaotic affair, with a large number of forest aliens surrounding the three Star Tapir Venerables.

However, the three Great Venerables were thick-skinned and tough, and were not afraid of this at all. They directly launched an attack against the opponent.

Because the tree race is becoming more concentrated, its destructive power has actually increased.

This can be considered... a case of having a point even when it's wrong, right?
The main battlefield is still on the Zerg side, after all, they are the main attackers, not only are they highly aggressive, but the cultivators also want to capture them alive!
Everyone is eager to know where the portal to the Zerg world is.

Moreover, the Zerg may harbor resentment at the half-step Divine Realm, so who would dare to underestimate them?

Even so, the goal set before the battle was to capture the mantis alive if possible!
Therefore, later on, Minning Zhenzun and Jin Ge gradually slowed down their attack speed.

Under the control of the Mantis, the attacked Zerg gradually retreated and came to its side to protect it.

As the fighting force retreats, their defenses will gradually strengthen, and the lethality of Min Ning and Jing Ge's attacks will gradually decrease.

However, the mantis's experience wasn't easy either; it summoned its subordinates in the dual field, which also consumed a lot of incense energy.

When it discovered that the opponent had multiple Nascent Soul level combatants, it wanted to retreat long ago, but the operation was too difficult.

If you try to escape alone, let alone whether you can get away, most of the Zerg here will be wiped out.

In a system where worshippers become gods through incense offerings, how can a system grow and expand without subordinates?

The mantis's initial decision was to let its own troops wear down part of the opponent's strength, and then see if there was an opportunity to counterattack.

This time we were ambushed, but it doesn't matter. We have an astonishing number of subordinates and have also borrowed considerable fighting power, so we can put up a fight!
The Zerg have had their share of winning battles and losing battles, so they won't panic for the time being.

The advantage of low insect rights objectively exists, and as long as they are not completely wiped out, recovery will not be too difficult.

Therefore, the Zerg's resistance was quite tenacious.

The mantis's idea wasn't bad, but it didn't expect its opponent to have such a strong ability to maintain its domain without affecting its killing ability.

As the war turned one-sided, it promptly adjusted its tactics, intending to hold out for a while longer before fleeing with a portion of its main force.

By this time, it had adjusted the recovery time of its troops to over a century.

They simply needed to find a secluded place to lick their wounds, quietly develop and strengthen their tribe, and avoid launching wars again so easily.

For a Zerg Overlord who had left his body, this decision was somewhat reluctant, but there was no other way; after all, he had run into trouble.
Aggressive populations are more accepting of failure.

But now, seeing the other party slowly approaching, its intuition tells it that it will probably have to escape alone.

In fact, an even worse premonition came over me: it might not be able to escape!
However, how can one be content without giving it a try?
Minning Zhenzun and Jin Ge were still slowly and steadily compressing the battle lines.

Meanwhile, True Venerable Wenxian had already cleared out most of the powerful insectoids in the surrounding area and was beginning to approach the Mantis.

The next moment, the swarm of insects, with a diameter exceeding tens of thousands of kilometers, suddenly exploded, unleashing an incredibly powerful impact.

Unfortunately, this overwhelming momentum was firmly suppressed by the dual fields, and the radius of its impact was less than 100,000 kilometers.

This is the tragedy of the weak; even self-reporting has little effect.

In the distance, a faint, cold smile appeared on the lips of True Venerable Hanli, as if to say, "Nothing special."

However, the expression of the relatively closer Minning True Venerable darkened slightly, and his attack paused for a moment.

Ultimately, it comes down to a difference in strength, and that's undeniable.

He was somewhat surprised that this mantis, which had emerged from its body, had revealed all its moves in an instant; it was truly ruthless.

The effect of the self-report seemed average, but it was actually not; it was thanks to the suppression of the field of two Great Venerables.

Otherwise, the impact would easily extend to tens of millions of kilometers.

Just as the impact began to weaken, a spatial fluctuation came, and the Mantis appeared millions of kilometers away.

Its breath was weak at this moment, indicating that it was not only intentionally concealing its whereabouts, but also that it had clearly suffered some injuries.

However, its escape skills are truly exceptional; even under the suppression of the two major domains, it was able to instantly dart this far away.

Just as the Mantis was about to continue its teleportation, True Venerable Wenxian snorted coldly and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, the vast space seemed to solidify slightly.

It turns out that while he was wandering around, in addition to killing the Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators of the insect race, he also secretly threw out the Suppression Stone and the Array Foundation.

During the battle, many of the stabilizing stones and array bases shifted or were even destroyed.

However, the one who set up the formation was True Venerable Wenxian. He could find the Dao of Formations boring, and his mastery of formations was beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

A snap of the fingers can still activate the binding array, and its strength is not low.

The mantis twisted its body and forcibly activated Blink again.

However, this instantaneous flash covered a distance of only 30,000 kilometers, less than 40,000.

Within the same confining formation, True Venerable Wenxian moved about with ease, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

He also used a teleportation technique to arrive at a distance not far from the Mantis, and then threw out another array plate.

However, the next moment, his expression changed, and he instantly retreated two million kilometers.

Immediately afterwards, the Mantis Lord's body transformed into a ball of violent energy, bursting out in all directions.

The mantis itself is not very large, only about a thousand kilometers long.

However, this burst of energy was exceptionally wild, with a radius exceeding one million kilometers, and it occurred under triple pressure.

Two fields, plus a trapping formation.

This reaction even surprised the three powerful Star Eater Venerables who had been slaughtering everyone. "Wow, this one is so good at leaving its body?"

"So resolute, so incredibly resolute... Actually, it could have fought for a while longer!"

"Didn't you two realize that the pressure on cultivators is actually this immense?"

They continued to attack the tree race while they talked.

But at the same moment, True Venerable Han Li frowned slightly and asked, "Do you feel like you killed him?"

He was only with Qu Jianlei by his side; he couldn't possibly be asking someone else.

Qu Jianlei pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and replied, "It seems a little off, but... I can't quite put my finger on it!"

“That means there isn’t one!” Han Li sighed softly. “Killing this guy would probably require destroying the ancestral tablet!”

Then he shook his head again, "Forget about it for now, let's continue the killing."

At this moment, the main force of the Zerg had all reported themselves, and only those Zerg below the Golden Core level remained in the space.

After the Mantis emerged from its body and reported its arrival, countless Zerg instantly vanished into nothingness, but a considerable number of Zerg survived.

These Zerg should belong to other Zerg gods, that is, they are troops borrowed by the Zerg when they launch wars.

The insects fled frantically in all directions, and some of the insects that had been on patrol had already fled very, very far away.

Even with the strength of several Grand Venerables, it would be unrealistic to kill all of these fleeing insects.

If we absolutely have to do it, it's not impossible, but... is it really necessary?
Several immortal venerables traveled thousands of miles from Houde Realm, so they must have considered various costs.

In this situation, there's no need to block information about the battlefield anymore; the insects that managed to escape are just lucky.

The most urgent task is to capture more Zerg survivors.

However, something that greatly annoyed Jin Ge Zhenxian happened shortly afterward: "The prisoners we captured... are all dead!"

When he charged into the enemy lines, he not only killed a large number of insectoids, but also captured some—two Nascent Soul cultivators and seven or eight Golden Core cultivators.

As soon as the Mantis emerged from its body, all the Zerg in its hands vanished into nothingness!

Wenxian had captured quite a few prisoners, and upon hearing this, he quickly checked them out before letting out a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, my losses aren't too great."

He wasn't significantly affected, partly because he captured some of the Zerg reinforcements, and partly because of the trap formation he used.

He imprisoned most of the Zerg prisoners in the array plate, blocking the causal chain of the Out-of-Body Mantis.

Strictly speaking, the causal link between incense offerings and deification is difficult to completely sever.

However, when the mantis emerged from its body, it did not deliberately kill its remaining subordinates, so the causal relationship was not very strong.

However, the Golden Spear Immortal had taken the captives into his sleeve, so his ability to sever causal ties was somewhat weaker.

Regardless, the three Grand Venerables continued capturing prisoners and even released their subordinate cultivators.

Han Li Zhenzun and Qu Jianlei remained motionless—they were on guard against possible attacks from the Zerg's divine sense.

About fifteen minutes later, the Zerg battlefield was basically cleaned up, and some warships began to clear out the scattered Treefoes.

Seeing this, the three Star Tapir Grandmasters hurriedly cleaned up the Nascent Souls of the Tree Clan, and then rushed towards the distant Nascent Soul Mother Tree.

Wenxian Zhenzun followed them at a leisurely pace, saying, "You continue forward, I'll bring up the rear!"

The battle was already halfway through, and it was reasonable to expect that nothing unexpected would happen when the three Star Tapir Grandmasters were besieging the Nascent Soul Mother Tree.

But unexpectedly, the mother tree actually set up a defensive array on the planet!

When the protective shield rose on the planet, even Venerable Wenxian was somewhat taken aback. "Wow, the Tree Clan actually knows this trick?"

“Some tree-kin do know formations,” Grandmaster Laru replied, “not as much as cultivators, but stronger than us.”
