Chapter 1659: Chapter 1679: Stop fighting, whoever isn’t afraid of death, feel free to try! _1

"Ah!"

A scream suddenly awakened an engrossed Lin Chen.

As Lin Chen held up his head to look, he saw a cultivator next to the altar being enveloped in flames. The man was hastening to jam the Sun Real Fire into his chest. Yet, before the Sun Real Fire could merge with his body, his whole form was set ablaze.

The flames from his previous spellcasting were rooted outside of him, like an armor constituted by flames, but the Sun Real Fire literally kindled every inch of him.

He resembled a piece of paper in ludicrously high temperature, instantaneously dried and set ablazing, from the inside out.

The fire was so sudden and swift to the point that the cultivator’s Primordial Spirit had no time to escape. He was instantly transmuted into a potent, high-temperature fireball.

The scream lasted less than a second when he was thoroughly immolated by the Sun Real Fire.

His body and soul were wiped out.

Lin Chen sneered coldly, even the Fire Spirit Root could not stave off the fire?

Just because the Sun Real Fire acts like regular fire, the Fire Spirit Root thinks it can manipulate and absorb it without breaking a sweat?

If the Fire Spirit Root could be incinerated, what chance did he himself stand?

Old man Gao Yu really intended to inveigle him to snatch away and absorb Sun Real Fire, his intentions were obviously malicious!

The other people were also stunned by this scene.

If a Fire Spirit Root could not assimilate it, how could they?

The people’s desire to take the Sun Real Fire immediately faltered. Was all the life and death fighting really worth it?

Seeing this spectacle, Chen Haoran immediately thought of Lin Chen’s recent words.

The Sun Real Fire was not easily absorbed!

Just because someone won doesn’t mean they could successfully absorb the Sun Real Fire. Looking at the current situation, even if he were to win, he couldn’t possibly assimilate it.

If one started absorbing it but was unable to do it, then there would be no turning back. That would end up like the avaricious man who daringly tried to integrate the Sun Real Fire into his body with his Fire Spirit Root and ended up directly charred into flying ashes.

Pondering this point, and recalling Lin Chen’s speculation about the duplicitous intentions of the Master of the Cave Mansion, Chen Haoran flung his head back and shouted out.

"Stop! Everyone stop!"

His strength was immense and having led people before, his command made everyone instinctively pause their battles and turn their heads towards him.

Chen Haoran pointed his finger at the Sun Real Fire suspended in midair and stated seriously, "The Sun Real Fire is not easily absorbed, just because someone wins, it doesn’t mean they can absorb Sun Real Fire. The likeliest outcome of such an attempt would be getting reduced to flying ashes. Let’s not even consider obtaining the Sun Scripture’s heritage."

Someone asked, "So what do we do now?"

Chen Haoran decisively replied, "Whoever wants to try absorbing the Sun Real Fire can go now. I will not attack them and if anyone attacks the person trying to absorb, I will attack them."

Everyone looked at Chen Haoran in disbelief, not expecting such an abrupt change in his attitude.

Chen Haoran responded, "I do not possess a Fire Spirit Root, I do not believe that I can absorb a Fire Spirit Body. If I forced absorption, I would likely end up the same as the man just now, wiped out of both body and soul."

Someone asked, "Then why did you even bother to compete for it?"

Chen Haoran derisively replied, "It’s still the Sun Real Fire. Even if I can’t absorb it, as long as I can get my hands on it, wouldn’t I end up with a treasure on hand? If I sell it to someone else, wouldn’t I make a huge profit?"

"Since we’ve all already come this far, having seen such a fantastic item, of course we would fight for it. Can any of you guarantee that the results of every adventure or effort you’ve ever made can all be directly used by you?"

Everyone thought about this and it made sense.

Since his strength is strong enough, he could indeed do that. If he managed to get it but couldn’t absorb it, he could always sell it to someone else. Surely, everyone here would be itching to buy it.

Even if others didn’t, at least Zhou Wu, the leading Fire Spirit Root of the Qishan Mei Wang Sect, would definitely make a prime target. He would undoubtedly give anything to purchase it.

"Are you really not going to interfere?"

Chen Haoran nodded, "I won’t interfere. I think that man made a pretty good point earlier - Even the best opportunities can only be enjoyed by the living. Whoever wants to try, just give it a try."

Chen Haoran moved to a spot not far from Lin Chen, and after feeding himself a medicinal pill, he went on to close his eyes and ceased to talk.

Lin Chen looked at Chen Haoran’s actions, this guy swerved fast, completely changing his demeanor and yet it made sense.

Everyone looked at each other.

Who would dare to try?

A middle-aged man gritted his teeth and stepped forward, "I’ll give it a try. You all, stay back!"

Confined within the secret chamber, everyone was unperturbed about him running away with the Sun Real Fire, and they all cooperated to give him enough space.

The man looked grave as he moved next to the Sun Real Fire, activated his fire cultivation technique, his skin suddenly turned as red as fire and a blaze instantly kindled upon him.

This person was a Peak True Immortal with a Fire Spirit Root, his strength was admirable.

Everyone fell silent, simply watching him intently.

Unquestionably, he was the most likely candidate to successfully absorb the Sun Real Fire. If he succeeded, the Sun Real Fire would once again become a desirable prize; but if he failed, it would likely be impossible for anyone else to achieve it.

Would there be any worth left in this life-and-death competition then?
