Five or six days later, there were more than 1000 warriors gathered at the Blazing Island. Among them, there were 18 warriors of the Fifth Tribulation.
Lord Realm warriors of the Sixth Tribulation didn't show up. After all, they didn't want to work for the Wu Family.
If some of the Lord Realm warriors asked, the major families would give them some face and give them a spot.
As a matter of fact, it was pointless for warriors of the Lord Realm to go into these secret areas. Their main purpose was to understand the truth and the most fundamental Profound Meaning in heaven and earth. Only in this way could they reach the Emperor Realm.
It was said that the Emperor Realm was recognized by heaven and earth and could control the fundamental energy in heaven and earth. With a raise of his hand, heaven and earth could collapse, mountains and rivers could be destroyed, and the sea could turn into mulberry fields.
Lord Realm warriors could reach the Emperor Realm with one more step. Therefore, there was no need for them to go into the secret areas.
More than 10 warriors came and all of them went in. But none of them could get into the area where Lu Li was. Those who went in would come out soon. They couldn't last long.
None of the more than 10 warriors cultivated in fire. Even though some of them were strong, they couldn't stand the burning of the purple fire. They came out after the time for a few breaths.
After several days of recovery, Lu Li was not so weak anymore. He could use the Dragon Skill, albeit barely.
That being said, if he used the Dragon Skill now, he would be even weaker after the period of weakness. He would definitely pass out.
Therefore, Lu Li didn't move. He stayed behind the tree stump and kept an eye on the surroundings. If any warriors came, he would go into the depths of the purple fire area.
Fortunately, none of the more than 10 warriors could stand the flames.
He had already eaten an uncountable number of fire ants, at least thousands of them. Now, his resistance to the purple fire was very strong. Although the purple fire was still burning him, the fire ant's energy would quickly heal his body.
He had smashed more than a dozen pieces of wood from the tree stump but he didn't consume them. He was saving them for his own survival.
Those pieces of wood were purer than the energy of the Fire Ants. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Li's Interspatial Ring couldn't be used, he would have dug out the tree stump and put it in.
He put the more than a dozen pieces of wood into his pants pocket. The leather pants were fire-resistant treasures. The fact that they weren't burned by such strong flames had saved Lu Li's dignity.
Otherwise, he would be rolling around on the ground naked, which would be very indecent …
"Get me a few more pieces!"
Lu Li used divine energy to smash at the corner of the stump. Soon, he smashed out more pieces of wood. Holding the pieces of wood in his hand, he sat on the ground to cultivate. Every now and then, he would grab some Fire Ants to eat.
There should be a super big ant nest underground. Lu Li had caught so many Fire Ants, but there were still more coming out.
Another two days passed, and three silhouettes flew over from the northern sky. The three of them were as fast as the wind, and their auras were that of peerless ferocious beasts, causing people to feel suffocated from afar.
"Another three?"
On the island, Wu Qing opened his eyes. There were two patriarchs of the Wu Family with him. The island was surrounded by people. Lu Li couldn't fly away even if he had wings.
When the three of them flew over, someone from the Wu Family immediately went to greet them. They chatted politely with the three of them and explained the situation inside.
"Purple flame area?"
A slightly chubby old man said with a smile, "I've entered the Purple Flame area decades ago. Although I can't last long in there, it should be enough time to kill one person, right?"
"Oh?"
A glint of light flickered in the eyes of a leader of the Wu Family. He said in a deep voice, "Patriarch Lei, you are proficient in the Law of Fire. That is wonderful. With your help, that punk will be captured easily. I wish you success in advance."
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Demon Lei laughed and said carelessly, "Back in the days, the King of Thousand Changes and a senior of mine held some grudges against each other. His descendant dared to stir up trouble in the Silver Flame Sea. Of course, we cannot sit by and do nothing.
Take a seat. In an hour, I will bring out that punk's head to go with your drinks. "
Old Demon Lei was wearing a very thick robe. With a flick of his wide sleeves, he rushed into Blazing Island.
People outside the island were excited. Some old demons went in as well, eager to see how Demon Lei would kill Lu Li.
On the off chance that Demon Lei didn't kill Lu Li and escaped, they would have a chance to reap the benefits.
The Wu Family didn't care how much effort was put in. Whoever could bring out Lu Li's body would be rewarded by the Wu Family.
Demon Lei rushed in quickly and soon arrived at the area of red flames. He walked around and sensed Lu Li's qi and energy.
"Another demon is here!"
Lu Li had been using the trace of Dao to sense. Demon Lei's qi and energy were so strong that Lu Li could sense it easily.
Demon Lei had been coming in so Lu Li wasn't worried.
Of course, he was still paying attention. He used the trace of Dao at all times to keep an eye on the situation outside.
"Whoosh!"
Old Demon Lei rushed in. A black light barrier appeared outside his body and enveloped his entire body. When he entered the purple flame area, the black light barrier actually expanded and pushed the purple flames away.
"Oh no!"
Lu Li sensed something was wrong. This man had skills to avoid fire. Without hesitation, Lu Li picked up the pieces of wood and ran to the distance.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Demon Lei laughed. He dashed over and said with mockery, "Punk, stop struggling. Since the forefather is here to capture you, you should surrender.
It will be your honor to die in the hands of the forefather. "
"Bah!"
Lu Li spat. He sped up and dashed into the depths of the area of purple flames. Lu Li would rather die in the hands of Demon Lei than to be burned alive in the more horrifying area of flames.
By then, his body would be nailed to the Cliff of Sins, which would be a disgrace to the Crippled Zen Master.
Demon Lei was so fast that he reached Lu Li in an instant. Lu Li made up his mind to release the Dragon Absorbing Skill. At the same time, he used the Slayer's move.
"Swish ~"
For a fifth tribulation warrior, the Slayer's move was like a child's play.
That being said, there was one good thing about the Slayer's move — when the move was released, it would affect the force in heaven and earth around and suppress the enemy along with the ray of sword light.
For a fifth tribulation warrior, the force in heaven and earth was weak. But when the force in heaven and earth was activated, it would attract the flames nearby …
Therefore, as soon as the Slayer's move was released, the purple flames swarmed over. The flames in the space around Demon Lei were concentrated to the extreme.
"Hiss, hiss ~"
Old Demon Lei was shocked. His body froze on the spot. He kept urging the black light shield to expand and push the purple flames away.
However, the purple flames continued to pour in from all directions, causing him to tremble with fear. If the black light barrier couldn't hold on any longer, he might be burned to death.
"What?"
Lu Li was overjoyed. Just now, he was at his wit's end. He used the Slayer's move casually, hoping to fend off the purple flames. He did not expect this.
"Go on!"
