Chapter 685: Not Even Worth a Roasted Chicken

"Let this old man take this opportunity. I, this old man, will not decline. After all, you all know that I am about to die; you should yield to someone who is near death."

Busi Xianweng said with a leisurely smile.

"Fart! Don't you try to take advantage of us, you old fellow. Besides, how does the Gong Dian stipulate the number of people to go out? Wouldn't it be better if everyone went together, leaving life and death to fate, and wealth and honor to Heaven?"

A strange bird with its whole body burning in flames said disdainfully.

"Exactly. Anyway, we have already entrusted our Primordial Spirit True Spirit into the Gong Dian, making us immortal and indestructible; what is there to fear even if we die?" a statue wreathed in Magic Qi said.

"I cannot agree. Entrusting the Primordial Spirit to the Zhenling Palace can only be considered our final fallback. After all, you wouldn't want to end up like Di Luo, would you? Both his true body and clones were severed, leaving only the Primordial Spirit True Spirit here; it will be a long, long time before he can recover his former cultivation."

A statue that commanded respect without anger looked at the nearby Di Luo statue. At this moment, the aura of the Di Luo statue appeared extremely weak, and it remained silent, having shut itself off.

He was now thoroughly defeated; even if he was still barely alive, it was almost impossible to return to his former height. However, these words also made the Di Luo statue extremely unhappy. He thought for a moment and said, "Don't use me as an example, as if I were the only one among so many people who has ever died."

"That is also something that cannot be helped. Who told you to have the highest cultivation among those who have died, and to have died the most thoroughly, even losing your own cultivation Dao Fruit."

The fire bird cackled and said.

"Eh? That's strange. Why is the Nine-Life Resentful Woman not speaking? Isn't she usually very active? To have no reaction to such a big commotion, that is truly a pity, missing out on this great opportunity."

At this moment, Busi Xianweng noticed the only statue that was still silent, and could not help but appear somewhat puzzled.

"Never mind her. Anyway, I have already summoned my true self through the power of the Gong Dian. I am going outside the Gong Dian right now to slaughter that great enemy who dares to attack the Gong Dian!"

The other statues did not care about these things. This was an excellent opportunity, and they could not hesitate any longer; there were many monks but little gruel. Anyway, no matter how powerful that enemy was, what of it? They could revive infinitely; at worst, they would just keep wearing him down.

Outside the Gong Dian, Di Youyou had a complex expression.

Through her statue inside the Gong Dian, she had already sensed the information sent by the Gong Dian.

This surprised her extremely. The Gong Dian, which was usually incomparably transcendent and could not be affected by any means, was now anxious. It was actually calling that group of fellows to deal with Li Heng?

Could it be that Li Heng's methods had truly affected the Gong Dian?

She was extremely shocked in her heart, yet also moved.

After all, the position of this Candidate Inheritor was simply too tempting. Once she obtained this position, she would very likely be able to fully control this Gong Dian, and subsequently break free from it.

This method was much more reliable than destroying the Gong Dian.

And the most critical point was that this was an excellent opportunity. She was very close to Li Heng; Li Heng was right beside her. If she sublimated to the extreme at this moment and struck with all her might, she might succeed!

But did she really want to do this?

Would this make her seem too shameless?

The Nine-Life Resentful Woman asked herself.

Although she indeed had a very poor impression of this Li Heng, and even had the thought of attacking and killing him, now Li Heng was indeed, as she had said, destroying this Gong Dian. In this way, Li Heng was not her enemy, but rather, to a certain extent, her ally. Attacking an ally was truly unjustifiable.

After a brief moment of hesitation and wavering.

She chose not to attack.

Because besides the series of reasons above, there was another very important reason. That was that she felt she might not be able to beat this Li Heng, even with a sneak attack. After all, Li Heng's current methods could cause such a strong reaction from the Gong Dian; they were clearly extraordinary.

Not to mention that she suspected Li Heng was fishing.

Once she dared to take the initiative to attack, she would have taken the bait.

"What kind of monster dares to come and disturb the peace!"

The true body of the giant bird burning with flames walked out of the Gong Dian, like the embodiment of all the Great Dao of fire in the world. With one step, it melted countless Great Thousand Worlds, and it let out such a loud cry.

Then, the next moment, it was burned to ashes by Li Heng's flames.

"Who is this strange bird? It's covered in fire but can't withstand burning at all. It's really not even worth a roasted chicken."

Li Heng frowned and said.

Di Youyou's expression was stiff at this moment, and she dared not make a sound.

In her heart, she was already celebrating that she hadn't attacked just now. Li Heng's methods, the flames, were actually so terrifying that even this bird that was so good at playing with fire was instantly burned to ashes.

Back then, this bird had once burned an entire era!

Inside the Gong Dian, the many statues were in high spirits, and then they discovered that the aura of the fire bird statue that had been shouting the loudest just now had suddenly declined.

They were stunned and hurriedly asked.

"What's going on? Why has your aura become so weak?"

The fire bird statue no longer had that arrogant look from before. He was silent for a while and then said, "My true body is dead. As soon as I stepped out of the Gong Dian, I was burned to ashes by a wisp of terrifying flame."

Once these words were spoken, all the statues fell silent.

Now the problem was big.

No wonder it caused such a reaction from the Gong Dian, even going so far as to promise a position of Candidate Inheritor. It turned out that this enemy was so terrifying; the strange bird, which was relatively strong among them and most skilled at playing with fire, was instantly burned to death?

Then wouldn't it be a dead end if they went up instead?

Although they could revive infinitely, at least they had to touch the person for it to be meaningful, right? What was the use of being burned to death as soon as they left the Gong Dian?

"Hahahahahaha, you dead bird, you scared me just now, and now your true body is dead too. Do you know you were wrong now?"

The Di Luo statue broke the silence and laughed out loud.

Now he was happy.

"Hmph, you have no right to talk about me. Although my true body is dead, my cultivation Dao Fruit is not lost. I just need to spend a little time to cultivate it back. Unlike you, who doesn't even have the position of Reincarnation Dao Lord anymore."

The fire bird statue was not to be outdone and retorted.

"What should we do now?"

"How about we just leave it alone? Anyway, looking at this situation, we can't deal with that enemy, right?" The statues also began to discuss, but the trend quickly tipped to one side, becoming the surrender and lie-flat faction, intending to just ignore it.

At this time, Busi Xianweng suddenly spoke up.

"Actually, we cannot ignore it. Haven't you noticed? It is getting hotter and hotter inside the Gong Dian, and coupled with the fact that the fire bird was just burned to ashes by a wisp of flame... I seriously suspect that the enemy is performing some kind of flame Great Divine Ability, scorching the Gong Dian, and has even broken through the Gong Dian's 'Ten Thousand Laws Cannot Invade' barrier, affecting the interior."

"Then how about you go, old man?"

"That's right, weren't you the most active just now, old man?"

These words directly shattered the lie-flat intentions of the statues, forcing them to face reality, but they really couldn't beat such a terrifying enemy.

Therefore, their gazes all turned toward Busi Xianweng.

"Me go up? That's fine, I choose to surrender directly."

Busi Xianweng said.
