Chapter 217 Statues
One after another, cultivators rushed in outside the ruins of Tianshimen, and then scrambled to get into the stone chambers outside, and then rushed out of the stone chambers one by one, swearing and rushing in.

Since the Heavenly Corpse Gate has placed a puppet camp outside, the meaning is very clear, it just doesn't want outsiders to enter.

Therefore, along the way, Ji Yi, Bai Yuyan and Bai Shiyan walked very slowly, in case there were any traps.

With Ji Yi's strength, it is necessary to be careful when walking in the ruins of an ancient sect like Tianshimen. After all, the accumulation of an ancient sect is still terrifying.

Fortunately, this journey was safe and sound.

Passing through the long and narrow passage, the three of Ji Yi stood on a square. This square was very large, and it should be the place where the disciples used to practice martial arts in the heyday of Tianshimen.

In the center of the square, there is a towering statue. The statue is a man, and it is made lifelike. From the eyebrows, everyone can see that this man must have been a strong man with high spirits and arrogance to the world before his death.

A lot of people have gathered on the square, and these people are looking around. The square is empty and there are no rooms.

The faces of many people began to turn ugly. Could it be that they spent so much energy rushing in and returning empty-handed?

Some sensitive people cast their eyes on the statue in the center of the square.

Looking closer, everyone suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a hidden mystery on the statue. On the body of the statue were engraved four fierce beasts, Taotie, Wuwu, Chaos and Qiongqi. These beast carvings seemed to be real. People can't help feeling fear and surrender in their hearts.

The Nirvana Sky Demon, Dragon Power and Heavenly Punishment Spear in Ji Yi's body reacted immediately, sending out bursts of fluctuations, as if they were dissatisfied with the breath of the four ancient beasts on the statue.

The dark golden corpse energy circulated in Ji Yi's body for a full circle before calming down the fluctuations of the Nirvana Sky Demon, the Power of the Dragon, and the Heavenly Punishment Spear.

What puzzled Ji Yi was that the Nirvana Sky Demon and the Power of the Dragon were fierce beasts and divine beasts from the ancient centuries, so why would the Heavenly Punishment Spear react in this way?
Ji Yi's line of sight has been carefully looking up from the bottom of the statue. When his line of sight meets the eyes of the statue, Ji Yi suddenly feels that the eyes of the statue are like a vast starry sky, with a deeply fascinating magic power. Suddenly, these eyes turned into two whirlpools, which instantly seemed to suck Ji Yi's body and soul into them.

"Huh—" The dark golden corpse energy in Ji Yi's body suddenly exploded, and he suddenly woke up from this strange feeling. Ji Yi involuntarily took four or five steps back, his chest heaving violently.

Ji Yi's eyes were filled with shock and fear. He looked at the statue incredulously. Ji Yi carefully sensed that there was no life fluctuation in this statue. Why did he feel this way?
The feeling just now was definitely not an illusion. Ji Yi suddenly realized that his clothes were soaked in sweat. He squinted his eyes. It turned out that the biggest secret of the corpse door was hidden in this statue.

pat!

Xiong Ba, who was holding a heavy hammer, obviously sensed the extraordinaryness of this statue. He fell in front of the statue in a flash, and glanced at the silent Ji Yi.

"There may be a hidden mechanism in this statue."

Someone shouted.

Whoa!

The practitioners in the square immediately gathered from all directions, looking at the statue with fiery eyes.

"Whether there are treasures inside or not, we will know when we destroy the statue! Let's do it together!"

Colorful qi surged up around the statue, and with the first burst of zhenqi blasting towards the statue, other zhenqi immediately swept towards the statue like a torrent.

boom boom-

The torrent of true energy made the space tremble.

Xiong Ba took another look at the black-robed man who was standing there motionless, he held the heavy hammer in his hand and did not make a move, because Xiong Ba felt uneasy in his heart.

This feeling of uneasiness is inexplicable, and Xiong Ba doesn't even know why this feeling of uneasiness arises.

Ji Yi glanced at Xiong Ba, then looked away, looking at this lifelike statue, he also felt a sense of danger coming, Ji Yi said: "Come with me." Saying that, Ji Yi pulled away from the statue From a distance, he watched the cultivators bombard the statue from a distance.

Bai Yuyan and Bai Shiyan were puzzled, but they still followed Ji Yi and stood far away.

Seeing this, Xiong Ba, who had been watching the man in black from the corner of his eye, also distanced himself from the statue.

A large amount of zhenqi bombarded the statue from all directions. There are as many as two thousand practitioners here, and even Ji Yi couldn't resist this majestic zhenqi.

However, this zhenqi bombarded the statue, and the statue remained motionless, not even leaving a crack.

"Damn it! This statue is devouring the true energy of these practitioners!" Ji Yi observed carefully, and suddenly his expression changed drastically, and he said.

"What?" Bai Yuyan and Bai Shiyan turned pale.

This statue is just a dead thing, how could it swallow the true energy of the practitioners!
Unless...unless there is something in it that requires a lot of energy!

Is it...

Ji Yi and the three of them all had a terrible conjecture in their hearts.

Xiong Ba who was standing on the other side gradually realized something was wrong, and his two thick black eyebrows slowly knit together.

"Stop it!" Ji Yiyun let out the dead breath in his body, and shouted loudly.

The sound was like thunder rolling, echoing endlessly in the square, and for a few seconds it actually directly suppressed the sound of the torrent of true energy.

"What amazing strength!" A flash of surprise flashed in Xiong Ba's eyes.

"Stop? Ridiculous!"

"This guy's strength is quite terrifying. Could it be that he dares to fight against so many of us?"

"Stand on the sidelines and watch the fun, and then share the treasures of the Heavenly Corpse Gate with us?"

"..."

Although these cultivators were amazed by the strength of the black-robed man, under the temptation of the treasure, they all showed a sneer at Ji Yi, and continued to stimulate the true energy in their bodies to bombard the statue.

Seeing this scene, Ji Yi snorted and said, "If anything goes wrong later, you two should leave here quickly."

"Understood." Bai Yuyan and Bai Shiyan nodded together and said.

As time went by, although this high-burst bombardment was powerful, these cultivators felt tired. After being bombarded by the torrent of true energy for so long, the statue was not damaged at all.

Some cultivators finally realized that something was wrong. Their true qi hit the statue, like a stone sinking into the ocean, without any reaction.

Is this statue devouring their true energy?
