Heaven-defying Phoenix

They were as strong as a mountain, but were incomparably flexible. Especially their strength, which was even stronger than the puppets she had encountered in the Celestial Tower, with almost all of them having the strength of the third level of the Star King Stage.    

These statues quickly launched their moves towards everyone, with their mysterious footwork, they were like warriors who had been fighting on the battlefield, launching violent attacks towards everyone.    

They were too strong. Although there were only a few dozen of them, they were like an undefeated army. They did not feel any pain, nor did they feel any fatigue.    

"Ah, kill!"    

The crowd fell into chaos as they formed a defensive formation.    

At this moment, all sorts of lights shot up into the sky. The Power of Star was as thick as water, interweaving into many dazzling streams of light.    

Dong!    

Bang!    

Some cultivators were sent flying by the statue's fist and exploded into a ball of blood fog in the air.    

The three great experts were not here, the remaining people, although had a few Star King Stage, but were mostly Star Profound Stage cultivators, how could they be their opponent for the statues? In the blink of an eye, a few cultivators were smashed apart by the statue.    

Jiu Muli agreed to be attacked, but luckily she was strong and was not injured.    

But soon, everyone realized that even though these statues were trying to kill them, they were following a certain route.    

"They're charging towards the gate!"    

The statue's route was very fixed, and after everyone noticed it, they subconsciously avoided it. To their surprise, these statues were actually headed for the main gate.    

Their speed was extremely fast. In just a few moments, they had already opened a path of blood and stopped in front of the gate, forming a line.    

"What do they want to do?!"    

The statue looked lifeless, but it was nimble. However, the actions of the statue still left everyone puzzled.    

Jiu Muli was also puzzled, because the threads were arranged in a row in the direction of the door, spread out horizontally like soldiers.    

This action was very strange, but soon, the crowd no longer had the time to think about it.    

This was because the statues moved again. This time, they lined up in an orderly fashion and once again rushed towards everyone.    

They were not moving fast, but they were laid out in a row horizontally, leaving no gaps for people to pass through.    

Their gait was stiff and orderly, and they didn't hesitate to attack.    

"Is there anyone that is fast?" draw them to one side, and we'll go around them. "    

Someone suggested, followed by a few others who took the initiative to attack while relying on their extraordinary speed.    

But the next moment, everyone was disappointed. Although the statues were not fast, one of the statues stopped fighting, and the rest of the statues also stopped walking, standing in a row and watching coldly from the side. They did not make a move, and did not give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of them.    

"What about flying over?"    

Someone else suggested it, but was soon disappointed, because the statue was too strong, and the hall was limited in height.    

Everyone had no choice but to retreat as the statue closed in on them. Gradually, they got closer and closer to the three tunnels.    

"They're trying to get us to the tunnel!"    

Jiu Muli's face suddenly changed, he knew what the statues were planning, they stood in a straight line, like chasing ducks. No one wanted to die, so they kept on retreating, and in the end, they had nowhere to retreat to. Unless he defeated the statues, he could only step into the three strange tunnels.    

"Can we beat them?"    

Everyone noticed this, and some suggested that they should destroy a few statues first. However, when faced with the statues' fearless attacks, they quickly gave up.    

Dozens of statue puppets, were equivalent to tens of experts at the third level of Star King Stage. Unless the Star King descended, none of them had any hope at all.    

"Let's go and give it a try!"    

Everyone was helpless. A few of them were unwilling to just disappear like this, so they finally stepped into the passageway.    

One person moved, and soon even more cultivators began to do the same thing. In the blink of an eye, quite a few cultivators entered all three tunnels.    

"What should we do?"    

Jiu Muli was in a dilemma. She was not afraid of one or two puppets, but there were too many of them and the consumption was too great.    

"Master, I think we can only walk on that path." Blacky fearfully recommended Jiu Muli.    

Jiu Muli remained silent.    

"Elder sister, take the third path." Just at this time, the Nine-colored Lotus instigated again.    

"Little Lotus, what do you think about me? I will change it to no!"    

Jiu Muli was speechless, but she saw that there were more and more statues, in the end, she had no other way, she stepped into the third passage, which was also the most right path.    

There was no choice, she could only choose to trust Nine-colored Lotus. Although Little Lotus didn't have any glazed palace lamp to rely on, at least he wouldn't harm her.    

The screams and shouts of the Cultivators on the path were endless. The first section was fine, but the further they went, the hotter it became. Soon, some of the Cultivators couldn't take it anymore.    

"Chi!"    

Jiu Muli also stepped on the chain. The fiery light in front of him filled the sky, blocking his line of sight, and he was simply unable to see how much further ahead he had to go. Even the spiritual sense could only release around three meters or so.    

A burning sensation came from the bottom of her feet, causing her to be alarmed. That was the temperature of the iron chains.    

The chains were even bigger than she had imagined. Each ring was extremely thick and intertwined like a fried dough twist. From the looks of it, it seemed like a wide road that could hold several carriages parallel to each other.    

She channeled her vajra vitreous body and stepped on the flames as though she was standing in lava.    

In front of and behind her were other cultivators, just like her.    

The only thing worth celebrating was that the first part of the journey didn't have too high of a temperature. The flames weren't strong either, making it easy for everyone to resist.    

After walking for some distance, someone cried out in alarm from behind. "They actually caught up."    

Jiu Muli turned his head, the flames behind him were thin, and as he looked through, he quickly saw that the statue puppets were also in three groups, stepping into the metal chains tunnel, and continuing to drive the ducks, but at a much slower pace.    

"Will they keep on?"    

Everyone's expression was ugly. They were unsure, but at the same time, they felt deeply helpless.    

Jiu Muli sighed in his heart, and in the end, braced himself and set off.    

As she proceeded forward, she discovered that the temperature became hotter and hotter, even hotter than lava. At the same time, the familiar feeling coming from the depths of her bloodline became heavier and heavier, as if something was calling out to her.    

"Little Lotus, do you know what it is?"    

Jiu Muli cautiously asked Nine-colored Lotus.    

"Elder sister, I feel very familiar, but I don't know the specifics." The answer from the Nine-colored Lotus was as ignorant as ever.    

Not long later, Jiu Muli found another stone tablet at the center of the passage. This stone tablet was bathed in fire and emitted a oppressive feeling.    

"Martial arts is not allowed!"    

The rune s on the stone tablet flickered, outlining a sentence. The meaning was simple: warn everyone, do not attack each other.    

After experiencing the sculpture's incident, no one felt that these words were a joke. However, soon after, news of someone intentionally cheating and cheating came from behind the scenes.    

It was not accurate to say that they were cheating, but they had deliberately slowed down their pace. They were only a foot away from the statues, and their speed was the same as the statues', purposely stalling for time. Moreover, this was the safest distance, the statues wouldn't attack if they kept this distance.    

Hearing that, Jiu Muli was speechless, but he had to say, this idea was really clever.    

"It must be that kid from the Gate of Heavenly Secrets. That bastard is definitely not a good person." Blacky could not help but retort.    

The temperature here was not high. With Jiu Muli's protection, it temporarily did not want to return to the pet bag.    

"Where did all that nonsense come from?"    

Jiu Muli was speechless, but he quickly turned silent, because the idea really came from Yu Bujin, and very quickly, many people realized this and started to slow down their pace.    

However, what surprised Jiu Muli was that Yu Bujin had also chosen the third passage.    

Everyone slowed down their footsteps as Jiu Muli gradually surpassed everyone and reached the front.    

"Sister, please slow down. Don't be so quick. It's dangerous up ahead."    

Someone brushed shoulders with Jiu Muli. Seeing that Jiu Muli was not bad looking, they tried to persuade him out of their good intentions.    

With regards to this, Jiu Muli laughed and declined to comment. It was as the Blacky had said, even if he was slow, it was impossible for him to leave such an obvious loophole.    

Whoosh!    

Flames rose like a flaming dragon, howling and engulfing the surroundings, rolling up her clothes and fluttering about.    

The vajra vitreous body could not hold on any longer!    

Jiu Muli frowned, she did not hesitate at all, the movement of the zephyr body, had become much easier.    

The passage was long and long, so her speed was not slow. The Star Soul revolved, causing multicolored light to radiate in all directions, making her seem like a fairy within a sea of fire.    

Unknowingly, she had already reached the depths.    

The temperature was really high, especially every time the flames rose, it was like an eruption of lava. Gradually, the zephyr body could no longer take it, she had already activated her Zhuang Zhou's Butterfly Astral Soul.    

The illusory halo revolved, instantly removing all the bindings on her body.    

Along with the breakthrough of his realm and the constant familiarity of his own strength within the Celestial Tower, Jiu Muli also discovered that the Butterfly of Zhuangzhou was not ordinary. This so-called illusory power, aside from being able to face enemies, more importantly, being able to remove the restrictions on his own body.    

This was also the main reason why she was not afraid of Star King Stage cultivators and was even able to resist part of the Star Emperor Stage Cultivator's pressure.    

"Master, something is not right here. Have you discovered it? Your current location is about the same as the Changtian from before." Blacky very quickly noticed the abnormality and warned them.    

Jiu Muli was startled, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately noticed it as well.    

Not long ago, Chang Tian, Situ Kunyu and the rest had encountered an extremely intense flame attack at her current distance. However, now that it had landed on her body, the flames were not as strong as they had imagined.    

"What's going on?"    

She didn't understand, but when she looked back, she could see that quite a few cultivators were also walking very far away. Other than a few whose cultivation bases weren't high enough, half of those who were burned to death had caught up.    

"The flame test is related to the Cultivation base of a Cultivator!"    

She soon discovered that something was strange. The realms were different, and the flames she encountered were different. The ones with a lower realm suffered weaker flames, and the higher the realm, the stronger the flames she encountered.    

A realm was different from strength. For someone like her, her realm was very low, merely at the third level of Star Profound Stage. However, her strength was close to Star King Stage, so facing this kind of trial, she felt it was easy.    

"I've said it before. Master's natural talent is unhindered, and is absolutely incomparable to those little fish and shrimps." The Blacky said proudly.    

"Save it."    

Jiu Muli really could not stand the way this Bitch Bird kept flattering him, but the pressure on his heart was greatly reduced.
