Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2370 Illusion?

The out-of-body beetle saw that the mother tree had stopped but did not react in any way, and it was a little curious.

It can confirm that the other party has heeded its reminder, and then this is... oh, it's checking itself, which is normal.

The beetle was also projected; it can switch between reality and illusion, but it will take some time for the real body to arrive.

However, its projected clones can also be distracted, allowing it to attend to multiple things at the same time.

Just like now, while it is paying attention to the mother tree's reaction, it is also on guard against the Nascent Soul Tree Clan on the other side.

However, the little nascent soul was not targeting it, and it had no intention of exploring the other's secrets for the time being.

The mother tree is clearly testing the waters, so why should it deliberately attract hatred?
So it didn't notice that a faint spatial fluctuation had appeared on the body of the forgotten wind.

This was not only because it was wary, but also because of the cover provided by the strange fluctuations, and because the tree itself was constantly struggling.

The black lines emitted by the tree race have spatial cutting properties because their own trunks possess certain spatial characteristics.

However, an even more obvious spatial fluctuation appeared shortly afterward, not far behind the golden beetle.

Both of their astral projections sensed it simultaneously and looked over in astonishment, only to find that a huge axe shadow had suddenly appeared in the space.

The axe is broken, but that cannot conceal its power.

The massive axe shadow released an extremely intense killing intent, firmly locking onto the golden beetle.

"I can't fight them head-on!" The beetle instinctively decided: it had to run!

However, when it saw a not-so-large figure appear behind the giant axe, its compound eyes instantly filled with horror.

"Holy crap... since when can Asuras use innate divine weapons?"

The scene before its eyes completely shattered its understanding!
The Golden Beetle was quite knowledgeable in the Zerg's out-of-body experience. It not only recognized the Asuras but also knew many of the habits of this race!
Asuras know how to make and use weapons, but a divine weapon like the Broken Axe is something that Asuras simply cannot create!

Jin Guizi actually knows quite a bit about divine weapons.

Most divine weapons are created by cultivators. Some, though called "born divine weapons," are at best just embryos.

The embryo of a divine weapon needs to be nurtured, tempered, or enlightened; there are only two possibilities that can enable it to complete this step.

One reason is that cultivators lend a hand, and the other is because of the appearance of a "natural partner".

A natural partner is not only a spirit born of nature, but may also be a preordained cause and effect—similar to the phoenix and the parasol tree.

In any case, the transformation of a divine weapon is something that a crude creature like Asura could never accomplish!

This race is still not worthy to use divine weapons!
Asuras can wield a broken axe and hack and slash, but they can't unleash the true power of a divine weapon!

Is the Broken Axe a divine weapon? Of course it is! A broken axe can actually lock onto its socket and prepare to kill!

The most crucial point is that it truly has the power to kill someone who has left their body. So... if it's not a divine weapon, then who deserves to be called a divine weapon?
More importantly, Broken Axe has the power to kill those who have left the body, while the Asura who appeared was merely an eight-armed being!

At this moment, Jin Guizi's understanding was shattered: Asura could not only wield divine weapons, but also use them beyond his level.
In its memory, the ten-armed Asura should be the one who has left the body, while the eight-armed one is merely the nascent soul.

Could it be that a new mutation has appeared in Asura?
No, that Asura on the other side seems to be a Nascent Soul cultivator as well.

The more it knew, the more abnormal it felt: "Illusion, illusion, illusion... illusion magic?"

Strictly speaking, it simply didn't know enough; it was completely unaware that it was facing a ritual object, not a divine weapon!
However, it took Qu Jianlei a lot of persuasion to get the ritual vessel allowed to be followed by an Asura!

For ritual implements, if a foreign race appears before them, not killing them is already considered merciful.

However, it would be too bizarre for a broken axe to appear out of thin air in space.

But Xizhao really didn't want to take the risk. It wasn't that the two brothers weren't close enough; the risk of taking the cave away from Shujian was already quite high.

Qu Jianlei could only seek advice from the irritable and obsessive person.

As expected, the hot-tempered senior was so angry when he heard that Ashura was to use the ritual artifact that he almost jumped out of the broken axe!

However, after a brief moment of perception, he knew what problem Xiao Qu was facing: it turned out that he was blocked by two external organs!

This situation is indeed a bit passive, but the hot-tempered senior said that breaking out... is not difficult!
Do you know what ritual objects are? They represent the last remaining belief of the human race. What's the big deal about two alien beings leaving their bodies?

However, although he spoke lightly, Qu Jianlei sensed something was wrong.

If it were that easy, why say "rush out" instead of annihilating the two alien beings who had left their bodies?
Then he couldn't help but think of hypocrites. These seniors were good in every way, except... they were too arrogant!
Therefore, Qu Jianlei's final attitude was: I have already designed the tactics, and you, senior, can decide how the ritual implements should be used.

But when the time comes, let Asura fake Ba make a brief appearance, which will distract the other side. What do you think?
He spoke lightly, but the hot-tempered senior was not only hot-tempered, but also a very knowledgeable senior!

Xiao Qu is in a very passive position right now. Otherwise, why would she have thought of letting Ashura show himself?

The idea of ​​calling for reinforcements was something that Xizhao had considered, as had Feng Yiwang, and even the idea of ​​the two alien beings leaving their bodies had been taken into account.

However, the hot-tempered senior didn't consider this point—gifts can be any junior's trump card, but he never had the habit of asking for favors!

So he reluctantly agreed, "Just to make a show of it, let that bastard off easy. Tell him that if he dares to flaunt this, you'll slaughter his entire clan!"

If even Qu Jianlei had such difficulty communicating, one can only imagine the unexpected turn of events with the out-of-body golden beetle!

It subconsciously believed that it was under an illusion—and only this possibility could explain what was happening before its eyes!
No wonder that strange fluctuation seemed so harmless as it spread; it was simply trying to lower your guard!
"Illusion?" The mother tree was shocked upon hearing this. This... isn't this an illusion?

Before it knew it, it had become excited and launched three attacks in a row, which caused it to consume a lot of energy!
It felt that the consumption was not significant, since airdrops do incur losses.

However, from the perspective of being "under an illusion," the consumption... is indeed not small.

With these questions in mind, the mother tree sensed the energy more carefully and immediately confirmed that it was indeed greater than before!
Then it saw that the broken axe was locked onto the beetle, and behind the broken axe, a strange creature appeared!

"It really was a trap!" The Mother Tree, having left her body, thought to itself, and its shadow quickly vanished.

It didn't want to fight to the death with such bizarre methods. If it weren't for its savings, it would have destroyed the projection directly!
At the same time, it also wanted to wait a little while and see how the mind-obsessed beetle would fight back.

Just now, when it took action on its own, the scarab beetle realized something was wrong; it could have easily stepped in to help!
Although the other party issued a warning, it was just a warning, and it seemed... a little too late, right?
The tree race has never been known for its open-mindedness; their very nature dictates that they are born with an instinct to fight whenever possible.

The mother tree that has left its body also has a vengeful nature; why would it save the other party if the other party did not help it?
And most importantly, this time, it was the Out-of-Body Golden Beetle who took the initiative to invite him to fight!

Since you were the one who insisted on this battle, you should at least put in some effort, right?

The mother tree merely echoed the warning, "Be careful, don't underestimate those who cross ranks!"

This warning was certainly valid; it determined that the creature was likely only at the Nascent Soul stage, but the axe shadow was truly remarkable.

However, this warning brought about huge changes!

The beetle could sense the threat from the broken axe and subconsciously thought that it had encountered a trap.

So its original plan was to try and see if it could evade the broken axe's lock.

It's almost certainly a trap; only a fool would risk their life!

But the mother tree's cry made the Nascent Soul Golden Beetle have an idea: That's right, it's a leap in level!
If we disregard the fact that Asura would use a divine weapon and ignore this strange phenomenon, then the opponent is indeed using it beyond their level!

The Out-of-Body Golden Beetle was also wondering what kind of being had set up this trap.
To design two beings that have left the body, one must at least be at the level of being ...

Now that the great battle has begun, why hasn't the other side shown up?
Why send only a Nascent Soul Asura to control the divine weapon? What are they afraid of? Or are they plotting something?
Putting aside all the doubts, there is no doubt that any technique used beyond one's level is inferior to one used within the same level!

Moreover, the out-of-body beetle was very clear about one thing: it was itself that initiated this matter!
It can turn around and run away without saying a word, but if it is scared away by the method of a Nascent Soul cultivator who is above the level, how can it cooperate with the Tree Clan in the future?

Both logically and emotionally, it should assess the other party's strengths and weaknesses. Even if it can't win, running away is better than fleeing without a fight.

The ape that had left its body didn't try to withstand the attack head-on. It flickered twice before confirming that the axe shadow had indeed locked onto it.

Moreover, during the pursuit, his killing intent gradually intensified.

But would that scare it? The scarab beetle twitched its wings, and a piece of its wing armor detached and flew off, crashing diagonally into the axe shadow!

It didn't intend to fight head-on, but probing indirectly was necessary.

The wing armor that detaches from the body is not particularly large, only about ten kilometers long, but only a few meters thick.

Such a thickness, in terms of proportion, can be described as "as thin as a cicada's wing".

Compared to this thin piece, the broken axe shadow stretches for hundreds of kilometers.

The winged armor crashed into it at incredible speed, like a moth drawn to a flame, resolute and unwavering.

However, the massive axe shadow seemed oblivious, absorbing the attack with remarkable efficiency, without even the slightest tremor.

Clearly, this attempt to use clever tricks to achieve the desired effect did not yield any results.

However, the projection of the Out-of-Body Golden Beetle trembled violently the next moment, "Causal Divine Weapon?"
