This time, Lu Li rolled on the ground for the time for one incense stick to burn. His period of weakness was coming to an end. He had not made it. However, he could not worry about that now. He smashed another piece of wood with his fist, consumed it quickly and started to roll on the ground again.
Finally, the period of weakness was over. Lu Li felt the energy in his body was gone, as if his strength had been sucked away. From his soul came a strong sense of weakness. He could not stand it anymore. He rolled his eyes and passed out.
Before he passed out, his last thought was that the tree stump would work or he would be burned to death.
As soon as he passed out, black smoke rose from his body and then he was on fire.
His body could not withstand such an overbearing flame, and his whole body began to burn.
"Buzzing ~"
Right at that moment, the energy from the wood pieces turned into dragons of fire that swam around in Lu Li's body. His burnt body was healing bit by bit.
The fire burned Lu Li's body over and over again and then the energy from the wood pieces healed him. The energy of the Fire Ants that he consumed came out as well.
Every time Lu Li's body was damaged, the energy would come out to heal him.
Over and over again, Lu Li was hovering between life and death. He was saved over and over again.
His body seemed to be strengthened as well. Just like when he was in the Hall of Seven Sounds, every time he was wounded, his body would grow stronger as long as he could be healed.
The fire was burning and the energy in Lu Li's body was being consumed. After an hour, Lu Li's energy finally ran out.
The flames began to burn Lu Li. Soon, his body was beyond recognition.
When he was about to be burned to death, the dragon soul in his soul lit up. Lu Li's soul had woken up at that moment.
He could not feel the pain all over his body. Not even his soul could feel the pain.
He came back to his senses at once. Using all his strength, he grabbed more than a dozen ants, crushed them and threw them into his mouth.
A surge of energy flowed into his body. Lu Li's body that was almost burnt to ashes began to heal again.
Only now did Lu Li feel the pain. He was about to pass out again because of the sharp pain in his soul.
"I cannot pass out or I will die for sure!"
Lu Li had this thought in his soul. He tried his best to hold on with his strong will power.
The strong willpower that he had honed for many years finally worked. He actually withstood the intense pain and did not faint.
Again and again, the flames burned and Lu Li was healed. Once again, he felt the hellish torment.
But as long as he could live, this suffering was nothing to him. He had endured this kind of suffering countless times before.
"Hold on, hold on, I want to live!"
Lu Li murmured to himself over and over again, trying his best to hold on. When the energy in his body was almost used up, he immediately grabbed more than a dozen ants and swallowed them.
The ants didn't just pop up; they were endless. Every once in a while, Lu Li would catch some ants and eat them. This was just enough to keep him alive.
However, it was not easy to recover from the weakness in his soul. Without any spirit medicine, he could not fall into a deep sleep. If he wanted to slowly recover like this, it would take at least ten days to half a month.
Outside, Wu Qing and the others were losing their patience. They were sure that Lu Li was still alive because they could sense some life in the flames.
Lu Li was the only one in there. There was a breath of life inside, which meant that Lu Li was still alive.
Wu Qing and the others had to wait in there. They would not be seriously injured in the flames, but they would be slightly injured. The flames were burning and they were suffering as well.
Days passed by. Soon, five days had passed by. Lu Li was still alive. He was like a cockroach standing upright. He just wouldn't die.
"Let's go!"
Wu Qing thought about it and sent a message to the other patriarchs. Since the Asmodians were nearby, it was not worthwhile for them to suffer here. Lu Li could not run away anyway. They could just stay outside and guard.
The few of them flew out. Sure enough, there were martial artists gathered outside. There were even two fifth tribulation old demons here.
As soon as Wu Qing and the others went out, a group of warriors came over.
"That punk is in there, but he is in the area covered by purple flames. If any of you can bring his body out, the Wu Family's promise will be kept!"
Wu Qing took a healing pellet and flew away. He sat on an island nearby with his legs crossed.
The other patriarchs went to nearby islands or reefs to sit with their legs crossed. Each patriarch would keep watch in one direction to make sure that Lu Li could not fly out.
There were more from the Wu Family. Wu Qing told them to wander around the island and check with psychic power in case Lu Li came out.
The space on the Blazing Island was unstable. It was impossible to fly. As long as Lu Li didn't come out, he would not be able to run away.
"Let me go in and have a look!"
A red-haired old man rushed in. Killing Lu Li could earn him a chance to enter the primitive region. Even though the flames on the Blazing Island were horrifying, it was worth the risk.
The red-haired old man was not bad. He rushed into the red flames at once and sensed Lu Li's location.
He didn't rush in rashly. Instead, he locked onto Lu Li and began to attack.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
He released a strong gust of wind toward Lu Li. The gust of wind broke through and hit Lu Li.
Lu Li was hit at once. There were several holes on his body.
"Whoosh!"
He patted with one hand and flew up. He hid behind a tree stump. All the attacks landed on the stump.
That old warrior made several moves. Sensing that he could not hit Lu Li, he made up his mind. He activated a bead in his hand. Rays of light enveloped him.
"Hoy ~"
He shouted and dashed into the purple flames. However, as soon as he went in, his body was ablaze. He screamed in pain and retreated quickly.
Even Wu Qing was afraid to go in. This old warrior was much weaker than Wu Qing. Naturally, he would not be able to survive.
Screaming, he dashed out and fell into the sea. He was still rolling around, screaming.
"How …"
Some warriors of the fourth tribulation wanted to go in and see if they could kill Lu Li. But now, none of them dared to move.
Not even a warrior of the fifth tribulation could survive. Average warriors would be courting death if they went in.
"Let me have a try!"
Another fifth tribulation old devil gritted his teeth and rushed in. The others waited expectantly. After a while, this old devil also rushed out. His whole body was charred.
"Someone!"
Wu Qing shouted after some thoughts. A warrior of the Wu Family rushed to the island. Wu Qing ordered, "Send out the news that the successor of a thousand transformations is in the purple flame area of the Blazing Island. Anyone who is not afraid of the fire can go in and kill him. Wu Family will reward you immediately."
"Yes!"
That warrior rushed to a nearby island and teleported to the big island. Then, he sent the news back to the Wu Family.
The Wu Family would use their own channels to spread the news. In a few days, the news would be spread across the Silver Flame Sea.
"Hmm, do you think we can't do anything to you if you hide in the purple flame area?"
