"What are you doing with this beast core, Brother Li?

It can't be refined into spiritual power, and it doesn't have much value in tool refinement, "Shi Chuankong asked in a perplexed manner.

"Have a look at it first," Han Li said with a smile as he tossed the beast core to Shi Chuankong.

Shi Chuankong caught the beast core and carefully inspected it, upon which a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.

"This beast core contains such powerful flesh and blood aura; if a normal person were to consume it, they'd most likely be able to enhance their physical strength," Shi Chuankong said.

"Indeed.

Even though spiritual Qi and demonic Qi are prohibited in this world, it still has its own laws, "Han Li said with a nod.

"It's probably because of such an environment that these exotic beasts have become so strong," said Shi Chuankong, agreeing with the theory.

"After so many years of adaptation, the survivors here will naturally be aware of the effects of these beast cores. Perhaps they'll collect these beast cores as a resource to cultivate their physical bodies.

This is our first time here, so we should collect some of these beast cores along the way. Perhaps they'll be of some use to us in the future, "Han Li said.

"You're very thoughtful, Brother Li.

However, this place has been abandoned for so long; I wonder what the survivors are like now, "Shi Chuankong said with a nod.

"Compared to the Immortal Realm, the races in the Holy Realm are more talented in terms of their physical bodies, so they've always revered the cultivation of their physical bodies.

Those who have been exiled here will be unable to use their powers, so if they want to survive, they'll most likely focus on cultivating their physical bodies, "Han Li said with a contemplative expression.

As soon as his voice trailed off, his eyes lit up as he released his spiritual sense to survey his surroundings.

Upon doing so, he discovered that even though his spiritual sense was still usable here, it was also restricted by the invisible power of heaven and earth, and the range of his spiritual sense had been shrunk to a radius of around 50 kilometers.

After inspecting his surroundings for a while, he suddenly pulled out a folded beast hide from his robes, then unfurled it to reveal a map.

Shi Chuankong and Daoist Xie also made their way over to investigate.

"Just now, I used my Divine Sense to explore the surroundings and compared it with this map. It seems to be in this area." Han Li pointed to a scattered archipelago on the edge of the map and said.

"The Grey Scale Islands … seems to be quite remote," Daoist Xie said.

At this moment, he suddenly heard Han Li's voice in his heart. "How is it, Daoist Xie, do you remember anything after entering the Accumulated Scale Space?"

"I can sense something in my heart, but I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing due to the distance," Daoist Xie replied.

"Looks like this place has something to do with your lost memories.

Han Li transmitted his voice to her, and did you sense any direction? "

"According to the map, the general direction should be in the central region, but I can't confirm the exact location yet," Daoist Xie replied.

"We don't know where Violet Spirit is at the moment, so let's go with that for now.

If those survivors still exist, they'll most likely be gathered in the central region as well, "Han Li replied.

"Fellow Daoist Li, even though I have Immortal Essence Stones as my power source, I can only unleash some ordinary attacks, but I can't unleash any of my lightning arts.

Once the immortal spiritual power within the Immortal Essence Stones is depleted, they'll fall into a deep slumber, "Daoist Xie suddenly said.

"Just as I expected, you'll be restricted by the laws of this world as well.

From now on, no matter what happens, try not to participate in battles to avoid expending your immortal spiritual power.

You won't be able to use your storage ring, and I only have a few mid-grade Immortal Essence Stones with me, "Han Li said.

"I see. These Immortal Essence Stones should be enough for me to stay here for a while," Daoist Xie nodded.

"Look out!

Right at this moment, Han Li's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he yelled, "Something's coming..."

Daoist Xie and Shi Chuankong's expressions both tightened upon hearing this.

Rustle rustle rustle...

Soon, a burst of rustling sounds rang out from the distance.

The three of them looked around and saw that on the ground in front of them, a white line had appeared out of nowhere and was slowly advancing towards them.

As they drew closer and closer, the white line gradually expanded to encompass the entire ground.

"What the hell is this? There are so many of them!" Shi Chuankong murmured.

Han Li didn't say anything, and he focused his gaze to discover that there were a series of fist-sized white crabs on the black line, all of which were crawling toward the carcass of the giant lizard.

Each of these crabs was small and dainty, and they all looked quite adorable. However, when thousands of them were gathered together, the scene was a little horrifying.

The crabs crawled onto the giant lizard's carcass and quickly enshrouded it like a white blanket.

Some of the crabs even crawled into the giant lizard's body through the holes on its carcass.

Less than 10 breaths later, a scene that came as quite a surprise to Han Li and the others.

The crab army surged over the Giant Lizard's corpse like a tide. The Giant Lizard, which was covered in scales and flesh just now, was only left with a white skeleton. It was extremely clean, not even a strand of flesh was left.

If it weren't for the copious amounts of yellowish-brown blood seeping through the ground beneath the skeleton, Han Li and the others would've thought that the skeleton had been left here for countless years.

Shi Chuankong's expression was extremely grim, and he reflexively leaped into the air, only to be forced back down to the ground by the immense spatial pressure.

It was quite clear that he still hadn't gotten used to the fact that he was unable to use his immortal spirit power and demonic Qi.

"There's no need to panic, Fellow Daoist Shi. These White Armored Crabs seem to only be scavengers, so they won't pose a threat to us," Daoist Xie suddenly said.

Shi Chuankong turned around to see that the white crabs had indeed circled around their feet and surged toward the carcass of the giant lizard.

In less than ten breaths, the carcass of the giant lizard had also been devoured and reduced to a pile of bones.

"Fellow Daoist Xie, how are you able to tell that these are White Armored Crabs?" Shi Chuankong asked.

"It's just a passing remark," Daoist Xie replied in a noncommittal manner.

Shi Chuankong rolled his eyes and was speechless.

"Let's go," Han Li said. "This isn't a good place to stay. Let's hurry up and see if we can find any remaining prisoners here. Perhaps we'll be able to gather information on any Violet Spirits."

When Shi Chuankong heard this, he thought to say something, but when he saw the faint trace of worry on Han Li's face, he couldn't help but sigh and console him, "Brother Li, you don't need to worry too much. Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit is like you, a cultivator that ascended from a lost realm. That in itself is proof of her strength.

Even if she ends up in this Spatial Realm, she'll still be fine. "

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shi. If it weren't for you, it would've taken quite a bit of effort for me to enter this place." Han Li nodded upon hearing this, but the concern in his eyes hadn't abated much.

"There's no need to be so courteous with me. To be honest, you saved my life!

Come to think of it, I've never seen you like this even when the situation in the Dust World was perilous. Looks like Violet Spirit is extremely important to you.

Forget it, I don't think there's any need to rest. Let's hurry up. "Shi Chuankong waved his hand and sighed.

"We do need to hurry up.

Currently, the Weeping Soul Beast is still in a deep slumber in my Bamboo Pavilion. I've placed a lot of Purple Sun Warm Jade in advance and arranged for puppets to look after it, but as long as I remain in the Scale Accumulation Realm, I won't be able to enter the Weeping Soul Beast. If I stay here for too long and something unforeseen happens, it'll be very troublesome. "

"Brother Li, the more it is like this, the more you need to calm your mind. The Spatial Realm is different from other places. Although you have many magical powers, most of them can't be used in here. So, you need to be more careful on the road ahead." Shi Chuankong sternly said.

"Let's go. Let's hurry up." Han Li's expression became serious. He stopped thinking about it and nodded.

After saying that, the three of them found a direction and continued on their way.

After crossing over the nearby mountain ridge, a slightly sloping plain appeared in front of them. The terrain was quite flat, and it seemed to extend for hundreds of miles.

As far as the eye could see, the ground was covered with shocking cracks. Not a single green plant could be seen as far as the eye could see. Sand and dust would be kicked up when the wind blew, but the dust would quickly fall back to the ground due to the spatial pressure.

Han Li's group of three walked down from the mountain ridge and walked along the dry riverbed. They left three long trails of footprints on the ground, extending all the way to the edge of the island.

Although the three of them couldn't fly, their footsteps weren't slow.

Although they occasionally saw some strange scaled beasts along the way, they didn't encounter any attacks. For the sake of the journey, Han Li's group of three didn't provoke them.

Just like that, the three of them arrived at the edge of the island when the sun set.

At this moment, the sun was already halfway down. The remaining half of the red sun shone down from the horizon, dyeing the entire land an orange-red color. The plains began to ring with the roars of strange beasts, big and small, rising and falling.

Han Li turned around to look at the plains in the distance, then looked ahead with a frown.

There was a layer of hazy black mist at the edge of the island. It spread out like smoke on a lake, separating the island they were on from the neighboring island.
