Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2346 The Repeater

Qu Jianlei's single strike, the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, killed less than half of the invading Zerg.

However, this attack completely threw the Zerg's well-organized forces, which had been in place for three days, into chaos.

In a real war, high casualties are not particularly terrible; what is most terrible is the chaos!
The six Great Venerables were already directly behind the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, so they were less affected. Upon seeing this, they immediately charged forward.

At the outset of the battle, the number of Zerg killed by the two races' Grand Masters was roughly the same as the number killed by the Zerg themselves.

The phrase "a defeat is like a landslide" perfectly describes this situation. The Zerg were not defeated, but the effects of the chaos were almost identical.

Rajan and Laru were cunning; they teamed up to attack a beetle that had emerged from its body—it felt a bit like a rhinoceros beetle.

Han Li Zhenzun faced the challenge head-on, freezing the two Nascent Soul insectoids instantly, displaying his domineering aura.

Minning Zhenzun joined forces with Jin Ge to deal with the last moth that had left its body.

It is precisely because of this that Venerable Wenxian was able to free up his hands to set up a large array in the space.

The details will not be repeated here. After two days of fierce fighting, three of the four Out-of-Body Zerg were killed and one escaped.

The beetle that escaped was the one that Raru and Rajan were attacking.

This out-of-body beetle is exceptionally powerful, possessing not only incredibly high defense but also extremely strong attack power.

Finally, it disguised itself and revealed itself—strictly speaking, it revealed that it had shed its shell and its soft inner body had escaped.

It's somewhat similar to a Nascent Soul revealing itself; the physical body explodes, but the Nascent Soul escapes.

It must be said that these two Star Tapir Grandmasters lacked a bit of fighting spirit in the battle.

Perhaps it was because their tribes were not exposed to the invading Zerg forces, which gave them a slight disadvantage in terms of motivation.

Of the three dead Zerg, only one was truly dead; the other two likely entered a dormant state.

The last one to be killed was a scorpion that had left its body, and it also reported itself.

Before announcing itself, it transmitted a cryptic divine message: "Cultivator... await the wrath of my race's supreme being!"

After it announced its arrival, a vast divine sense descended from the sky, "So, the cultivators have indeed come?"

Although this divine sense was weak, its artistic conception was extremely magnificent, comparable to the scene when Qu Jianlei and Jin Ge encountered the Dao Transformation Realm.

It cannot be said to be a divided consciousness, but without a doubt, it should surpass the level of astral projection.

Even Han Li Zhenzun frowned, his handsome face filled with solemnity.

"They've arrived," Qu Jianlei said, bracing himself against the pressure as he released his divine sense. "Are there places in the myriad realms that cultivators cannot go?"

This is definitely going to provoke hatred, because among the five, only he could possibly withstand the divine mental attack of the Divine Lord.

As for the consequences, he was too lazy to consider them, and it wasn't just a matter of greed, like "people die for wealth and birds die for food."

Ultimately, he was the only one in the team who could shoulder the responsibility; he had no other choice!

Han Li Zhenzun pursed his lips and quietly held a small, flat, round stone in his hand.

This was his trump card for survival. Since Xiao Qu had not let everyone down, he naturally would not fail in his role as the "team leader".

Qu Jianlei was already prepared to escape into the cave at any moment, but the next moment, a vast divine sense sent out another message.

"So, the cultivators have indeed arrived?"

"Huh?" Immortal Jin Ge couldn't help but exclaim, "This will... seems a bit out of control?"

He is the second person besides Qu Jianlei who is not afraid of death and the dissipation of his Dao, because his true form is ancient golden essence, far away in the Realm of Great Virtue!
This clone carried the majority of his strength and abilities on this long expedition.

But even if it is damaged, it's not like "the sky is falling," and it won't even go into hibernation.

He refused to believe that a mere wisp of his divine consciousness could destroy his true body in the Lingyun Sect.
However, if that scene were to actually happen, it would take him at least a thousand years to recover.

However, the reply he received was, "Cultivators, since you're here, don't leave. This is your graveyard!"

“This is finally starting to look different,” Qu Jianlei said, his expression still grave. “A graveyard? I find it hard to believe!”

It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid, but now, what good is being afraid?

However, that divine sense indicated once again, "So, the cultivators have indeed arrived?"

"Since you're here, prepare to die here. I look forward to your dying screams..."

This situation is very strange. This divine sense is absolutely powerful, but it is really not normal.

It's not quite a parrot, but it feels more like a madman's ramblings.

After sending this message, a while later, this wisp of divine thought simply vanished.

Not to mention the cultivators, even the four Star Tapir Venerables were dumbfounded.

Star-tapirs possess extremely keen senses, and when faced with this wisp of divine thought, they are far more terrified than cultivators.

The two Grand Venerables who were holding the fortified position even rushed out of their home planet to watch as their side was about to achieve a great victory.

As for taking action? That's true, but their behavior was quite blatant.

As soon as this wisp of divine consciousness descended, the two Great Venerables silently retreated back to the planet.

Whether it was because of a promise or because they felt they couldn't escape, the two great beings did not flee.

But they huddled up carefully, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing that wisp of divine thought disappear, they were truly shocked. "That's...that's all?"

Rajan looked at Qu Jianlei and asked thoughtfully, "Did you do it?"

It knew better than any of the other great masters of the tapir clan just how terrifying the power of this mere Nascent Soul cultivator was.

The earth-shattering attack by the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle was just one of the methods this person possessed.

The gazes of the other three great beings also turned towards them.

They were also curious about what kind of confidence this human Nascent Soul cultivator, who dared to face that terrifying aura, possessed.
At the very least, even the Tapir race might not dare to do such a thing when they leave their body, let alone the Nascent Soul stage.

"It has nothing to do with me," Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, feeling a little strange: Do I look that capable?
An unfamiliar tapir emerged from its body and asked, "But why are you so fearless? Can you explain why?"

Qu Jianlei really didn't want to answer this kind of question, and he also disliked the tapir's habit of asking so many questions.

You didn't show up during the battle, and now you're asking about it?

However, since the other party was ultimately a great master, he still replied, "Cultivators have always been like this, they don't think too much about the consequences."

His words were actually an allusion to the tapir clan's timid and hesitant behavior—they were on the verge of extinction, yet they still had so many selfish thoughts!
However, this great being was completely unaware and actually said, "Courageous indeed... well, it's normal to be accompanied by a celestial being."

The implication was that it actually thought the other party was a bit reckless—thankfully you were with four immortal venerables!

Qu Jianlei was too lazy to pay attention to this guy: You're stuck in your own misconceptions, I have no obligation to correct you!
Han Li Zhenzun calculated for a moment and then said solemnly, "This scorpion... the ancestral tablet should be broken!"

His words were somewhat nonsensical, but all four cultivators understood them.

So, after this battle, all we managed to kill was one Zerg Out-of-Body creature?
Rajan thought for a moment and then realized, "Those moths and flying ants... they were just dormant?"

Since True Venerable Hanli dared to say this openly, he was naturally not afraid of being held accountable by the other party, and he disdained to do things like exaggerating battle results.

If it were a one-on-one situation, he wouldn't be incapable of swindling or cheating, but in this world, a large number of cultivators will come in the future.

Since that's the case, there are some things he shouldn't do too much of, after all, he represents the immortal venerable of the human race.

However, he didn't need to explain, as Immortal Jin Ge spoke up, "They're all in hibernation, and you still can't handle them?"

“But… we must eradicate evil completely!” Rajan hesitated for a moment, then stammered out his request.

Wenxian Zhenzun coldly stated, "Peace is won through fighting, not begged for!"

Upon hearing this, Laru asked, "So, when you say 'killing someone who has left their body,' you mean even someone in a state of dormancy counts?"

"Aren't the tapirs supposed to have very strong senses?" Jin Ge's words became increasingly impolite.

"If you can't even deal with dormant insects, you might as well surrender."

“But according to the agreement,” Rajan still hesitated, “hibernation shouldn’t be considered killing, right?”

“According to the agreement, we shouldn’t be paying attention to the top!” Jin Ge said coldly.

He's never been afraid of anyone when it comes to debating. "Since you don't agree, then the cooperation ends here... The Yin-Yang Stone is what we deserve."

“Wait, wait a minute,” another unfamiliar high-ranking figure said, “Let us discuss this.”

It was able to come here to observe the battle, and it was very familiar with the details of the transaction. It knew that the Yin-Yang Stone had already been delivered and could not be retrieved.

Cultivators are generally methodical in their actions, but they are not pushovers who can be taken at will.

But more importantly, that wisp of divine thought just now really frightened it.

It can also be confirmed from the words of the cultivator that the owner of this wisp of divine thought should be above the Nascent Soul stage.

For the Tapir race, this was truly devastating news—the Zerg had actually become distracted!

During the previous war between the two races, there were rumors that the Zerg seemed to have transcended the physical realm.

However, those reports are difficult to verify; at most, it's said that a single Star Eater Venerable has sensed them.

However, the Tapir clan interpreted this as either the Great Lord being terrified or a misconception.

From a broader perspective, this news cannot be considered true, otherwise the entire tapir tribe's morale will collapse.

From a logical point of view, it also seems a bit illogical: if the Zerg were really distracted, would the war between the two races have lasted so long?

Regardless, the tapir tribe previously believed this to be fake news!

However, everyone felt that terrifying aura just now; there were four Star Eater Venerables present.

Even without confirmation from cultivators, which of the four would dare to say that the aura was merely an out-of-body experience?

Given this unexpected event, whether the hibernating out-of-body Zerglings were killed or not is no longer so important!
The Star-Burning Venerable understood perfectly well why no specific agreement had been made regarding such a controversial topic in the first place.

The tapir clan worried that if this point were clarified, cultivators, with their pride, might not agree.

So, besides fighting, we're also responsible for cleaning up the mess?
