Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2525 Too embarrassing

The reason why the Crystal Clan is considered not very aggressive in the cultivation world lies in their lack of initiative in expanding their living space.

They are not keen on expanding outwards, and when their living space becomes too small, they will consciously slow down the breeding of new individuals.

However, if the living space is too small and a new space is discovered by chance, that's a different story.

In simpler terms, crystal groups tend to focus more on internal coordination and are not very inclined to expand outwards.

However, once they determine that a certain space belongs to them, they will defend it to the death, even if they don't occupy it for very long.

Crystal beings are incredibly hard, with almost maxed-out physical defense. In battle, they typically use charge attacks or elemental magic.

Almost no Crystal Clan members use weapons or magical artifacts; they rely entirely on their own strength in battle.

This group is not particularly intelligent, not easy to communicate with, and quite stubborn and relatively irritable.

Some ancient texts in the cultivation world offer methods for dealing with the Crystal Clan, which can be summarized in one sentence: it depends on the situation.

If you're not strong enough, or if you accidentally wander into the Crystal Clan's territory, just turn around and run away without saying a word.

If someone is sensible enough, the Crystal Clan will generally ignore them; they are not bloodthirsty.

Some say it's because they don't eat live animals and have no motive to kill.

If a cultivator is strong enough, then there are other ways to deal with it, and Han Li's current choice is one of them.

If you meet on a narrow path and the other party launches an attack, then without saying a word, you should fight!

Moreover, once you start, don't hold back. You must hurt the opponent and break their fighting spirit!
Maxing out physical defense... that's not even worth mentioning. What true master only knows how to use physical attacks?

Behind him were twelve, no, eleven... no, there were ten True Venerables temporarily backing him up!
The Crystal Clan can be quite stubborn, but as long as you don't invade their territory, they're not going to back down.

This is a silent zone, filled with only violent energy. Even if there are some exceptionally solid substances here, they are extremely rare.

There is no doubt that the Crystal Clan can survive here for a long time, given their extremely strong defense and endurance.

But to say that this is their territory is a joke. With such scarce resources, how can they survive and thrive?
Most True Venerables should already know this relevant knowledge, but Colin, who followed closely behind, sent it again using his divine sense.

His intention was very clear: everyone should not hesitate and should go all out.

However, he also emphasized one point: the souls of the Crystal Clan are very strange, so be careful not to damage your sea of ​​consciousness.

Once a Crystal Clan member loses their physical body, their soul becomes extremely elusive, and possession is not impossible, making them nearly as dangerous as a Heavenly Demon.

However, as long as the cultivator is careful enough and persists for a period of time, their individual souls will not last long.

There were eleven True Venerables present; if they were warned in time, it would be almost impossible for anyone to fall victim to their trap.

Qingkong Zhenzun did not step forward, but floated to the side, saying calmly, "I'll stay and hold the fort."

The other ten True Venerables didn't care; in such a great battle, it was still necessary to leave someone behind to keep watch.

Since so many True Venerables are making a move together, it won't make a difference if he's one less.

At the same time, Han Li's attack stirred up a hornet's nest, and countless crystals rushed in from afar at a considerable speed.

Some of the more impatient crystals launched magical attacks from afar.

The scene was quite frightening; each crystal was enormous, and there were countless of them.

The key is that crystals are constantly arriving from the depths of space in the distance.

The magical fluctuations that filled the entire space were omnipresent, a dazzling array of colors crisscrossing everywhere.

It may look dazzling, but the energy it contains and the immense killing intent it hides are what truly captivate the heart.

However, it was very regrettable and unfortunate that the Crystal Clan encountered an exceptionally luxurious team of human cultivators!
The team of eleven True Venerables all possess combat strength above average, and are capable of competing with the Divine Lord!
Just by looking at how these true masters respond, you can tell their inner attitude.

They didn't form any battle formations; they fought individually. However, they did pay attention to teamwork during the battle.

Admittedly, the True Venerables rarely form battle formations, but not long ago they did form the "Starry Sky Three Talents Formation".

Faced with countless crystals, the correct approach is at least to form a combat team back-to-back.

However, why did the eleven True Venerables fight each other?
Because doing so wouldn't be very efficient at killing! And they weren't afraid of being surrounded by the enemy!
The Crystal Clan is indeed a formidable opponent, but this time, they have truly met their match!

Physical defenses were almost useless; crystal after crystal was collapsing.

Even the only female cultivator, Song Yue'er, displayed extremely strong destructive power.

She held a pipa in her hand, playing it slowly and gracefully, seemingly strolling in the air, her movements seemingly slow yet actually fast, yet ethereal and otherworldly.

Countless crystals shattered along the path she traveled.

She was still not satisfied with this, and sent out a divine sense inquiry, "It is a great pity that the crystal collapsed. Does any fellow Daoist have any good suggestions?"

"This money-grubber," Han Li rolled her eyes helplessly and shook her head, both amused and exasperated.

But to be honest, having such a lively character in the team can be quite stress-relieving at times.

“Crystals are not easy to collect,” surprisingly, it was True Venerable Minning who answered. “The Crystal Clan must be willing to participate, otherwise it’s useless to collect them!”

“Indeed, it’s useless to everyone,” Colin echoed his statement. “Otherwise, the Crystal Clan would have been wiped out by cultivators long ago.”

The true value of the crystal entity can be seen in resources such as gold crystal, wood crystal, and fire crystal, which are quite valuable in the cultivation world.

However, this group is known for its strong temperament, or perhaps it has some kind of mechanism that renders their remains worthless after they are killed.

Of course, perhaps what Colin said is the real reason. If killing the Crystal Clan would bring great benefits, they might have been wiped out long ago.

Survival of the fittest is the law of nature; elephants burn themselves with their tusks, and clams split themselves open with pearls—this is the same principle.

However, Song Yue'er was still a little unwilling, "Judging from this material, a Nascent Soul would still be useful, right?"

That's not wrong. After the Crystal Clan was killed, the material of their remains was only downgraded; they weren't completely useless.

But it's only useful for low-level cultivators. Not to mention, killing a Nascent Soul Crystal Clan member and obtaining Golden Core materials... should you really pick them up?
"Don't embarrass me!" Han Li retorted angrily. "Kill the Nascent Soul Crystal Clan member first, then pick it up!"

However, there are really not many Astral Crystal Clan members. Despite the dense crowd of Crystal Clan members present, there are only four or five with Astral Crystal aura.

Many of those exceeding 10,000 kilometers in length only possessed the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

According to records in the cultivation world, the Crystal Clan at the Golden Core stage have strong defenses and their combat power mostly overwhelms that of the Human Clan, while the Nascent Soul stage is a mixed bag.

Crystal beings in the Out-of-Body stage are usually no match for human True Venerables, and even with superior numbers, they cannot guarantee a sure win.

The Crystal Clan does not possess cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul stage, and below the Golden Core stage... it is impossible for them to develop sentience.

Now, those few Nascent Soul Crystal Clan members have also realized how troublesome their opponents are, but they only dare to hide behind their own kind and launch ranged spell attacks.

Ultimately, they currently have a numerical advantage and there's no need for them to personally intervene for the time being.

While the Human True Venerable could kill the Crystal Clan as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, his physical defense was ultimately maxed out, making it impossible for him to break through in one go.

"You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household," Song Yue'er muttered sullenly after hearing Han Li's words.

However, she didn't want to openly oppose him, so she could only hold her pipa and continue wandering in the middle of the battlefield.

However, whenever she gets close to certain crystal fragments, she has to keep an eye on Han Li's attention.

Whenever Han Li was slightly careless, she would quietly collect some of the remains, focusing only on the larger pieces.

Of course, she would only deal with materials for the Golden Core stage. She would absolutely not pick up those Golden Core crystals that had been shattered and downgraded to Foundation Establishment materials.

However, how could her sneaky behavior possibly escape Han Li's notice?
The True Venerable's spiritual strength in this space has recovered somewhat; although the battlefield is chaotic, it is not enough to obscure his perception.

However, since she had been so careful, Han Li naturally couldn't say anything more—at least she knew how to cover it up.

However, her actions quickly inspired others.

It's perfectly fine to leave one's body to collect materials for Nascent Soul cultivation; after all, every family has a few descendants. But collecting materials for Golden Core cultivation... that's just too shameful.

But seeing her diligently picking up the items, the other True Venerables had a change of heart: Well, they were just idling around anyway, weren't they?

The key is that there are so many materials on site, and everyone has their own cave, so picking up materials is just a matter of a thought.

Soon, others followed suit, especially the True Venerables of the Myriad Realms, who have gained virtually nothing recently.

However, everyone wants to save face. Everyone heard Han Li's statement just now, so they all made their moves secretly.

However, these developments were quite shocking to the Nascent Soul Crystal Clan—"Are you guys freaking desperate for money?"

The remains of these kin are actually quite useful to the Crystal Clan.

Crystal creatures survive and grow by consuming ordinary matter, and the remains of their own kind are excellent nutrients.

Otherwise, when the Crystal Race fights against other races, they can choose to declare themselves, leaving the other side with absolutely no materials.

When they discovered that the other human race was exceptionally fierce, they originally intended to overwhelm them with their fearless spirit.

At the very least, we must fight to reach a reasonable ceasefire agreement—so what if we have high cultivation levels? We are not afraid to die!

However, the human on the other side, who had left his body, was secretly picking up materials for the Golden Core. What does this mean?
It's like a thief breaking into a house and taking not only valuables, but also the basic necessities like firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

Is this what you call a thief? This is clearly a raid on a house!
The problem is that several people who have reached the Nascent Soul stage know that the number in their family group... clearly indicates there's still a large amount of firewood, rice, oil, and salt!
"Stop! Stop! We surrender!" One of the Crystal Clan beings sent out its divine sense, followed by several others.

"Stop! Stop! This is the Quiet Zone. Are you willing to fight to the death?"
