Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 275 Confidence
Despite the changing external circumstances, Ji Fuyou's determination to search for the true identity of the Fengwo Cult Leader remained unwavering.

At this moment, he maintained his Mind's Eye, and his mental fluctuations swept over each monster without reservation.

If it were the monster's true form, it would naturally react to the detection of its spiritual power.

Those clones...

Because of its limited strength, it may not be able to be stimulated by his spirit.

Time flies, and half a day has passed in no time.

Just as Ji Fuyou's dragon-patterned sword pierced the head of a Corpse Demon King as if it were dealing with an ordinary clone, a fleeting red light suddenly caught his eye.

"red?"

Ji Fuyou was taken aback. His figure quickly stopped, and with a few leaps, he arrived in front of the Corpse Demon King.

He followed the red light and searched, but what he found was not a red physical or spiritual source crystal, but a legacy crystal.

"The real Corpse Demon King!?"

The true form of the Corpse Demon King!?

Ji Fuyou stared in a daze at the pitch-black corpse that he had instantly killed, mistaking it for an ordinary monster.

Once upon a time, the monsters that were so powerful that he had to exert all his strength to defeat were now so weak that a single swipe of his flying sword could kill them.
This contrast...

This truly made Ji Fuyou realize the changes he had undergone in the past six months.

"Martial artist, martial saint..."

Ji Fuyou murmured these two words.

It took him a while to finally turn his gaze away from the monster.

The toys we desperately wanted as children are now easily taken for granted when they are readily available to us as adults.
This in itself is a testament to growth.

Ji Fuyou held the red inheritance crystal and sensed it for a while...

"Great Healing."

His expression was slightly unusual.

He had just sold a Great Healing spell inheritance crystal not long ago, and now he has acquired another one.
The power of the Great Healing Spell is beyond doubt.

If he had a powerful healing spell on hand when fighting the enhanced Fertile Lord, he could have easily let the divine beast horned deer withstand the monster for several hours.

but……

The consumption is too high.

To this day, he has mastered a wide variety of skills.

I won't go into the details of common skills like Healing Light.

Advanced skills include Illusionary Shadowless Technique, Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, Innate Armor-Piercing Sword Qi, Sword Control Technique, Holy Armor Technique, and Mind's Eye.

More top-tier skills.

Crescent Moon Blade Aura, Demon-Suppressing Spell, Overlord's True Form, Deflecting Force Field, Holy Spirit Technique, Blazing Sun Sword Technique, Bloodline Awakening Technique, plus the newly acquired Great Healing Technique...

Too much.

The number far exceeded the imagination of any master, or even a martial arts saint.

A person's mental strength is limited.

Controlling the dragon-patterned flying sword, maintaining the mental activity brought by the purple gemstone, and drawing upon the power of the dzi bead would all put a considerable burden on his mind.

Furthermore, the use of sword control techniques and the maintenance of the divine beast bloodline awakening technique pushed his mental workload to its limit under normal conditions.

If faced with a powerful opponent, one would have no choice but to unleash the deflection field, activate the Overlord's True Form, and unleash the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique...

The mental workload directly reached the critical point of overload.

"I don't even dare to maintain the Blazing Sun Sword Technique and the Divine Beast Bloodline Awakening Technique at the same time, let alone use a Greater Healing Technique that consumes even more energy... I'm powerless! I'm truly helpless."

Ji Fuyou shook his head.

He had no choice but to put the great healing spell away.

By the time……

Let's try selling it first. If someone offers a satisfactory price, then we'll sell it directly.

If it can't be sold for a suitable price, give it to Liu Yiren.

Liu Yiren's role is support; she hardly needs to consider attacking.

Or rather, Falcon could completely replace her in terms of attack now.

All she needs to do is assist Falcon and support the team.

Under these circumstances, her mental burden and energy expenditure remained at a relatively low level.

Giving her a powerful healing spell that can restore everyone's injuries at critical moments is indeed the most suitable option.

As he pondered, Ji Fuyou's figure darted around once more.

Although the red skill crystal provided by the Corpse Demon King was quite good, what Ji Fuyou really wanted to find was the Fengwo Cult Master.

……

It seems we've reached the core area; the probability of encountering the monster's true form has significantly increased.

Soon, Ji Fuyou killed another real Fertile Guardian and a Pale Boarman.

Among them, the fertile guardian provided him with a red spirit source crystal, while the pale boarman only had a red physique source crystal.

"The true form of the Fertile Guardian and the Pale Boarman has been found, but what about the Evil Black Serpent?"

Ji Fuyou stroked the dragon-patterned flying sword in his hand...

If you can slay another evil black serpent and obtain a piece of dragon spine, you can forge another dragon-patterned flying sword.

With the sharpness of such a flying sword...

It could definitely fetch an astronomical price.

"Roar!" Just then, a shrill roar came from behind.

Is it a mythical horned deer?
Ji Fuyou was pursuing Zhu He and his group with the divine beast, the Horned Deer.

However, most of the time, the monsters he encountered were shot down by the dragon-patterned flying sword before he could even make contact with them, so the divine beast horned deer basically followed behind him and had little presence.

Suddenly, the antlered deer let out a scream...

Has it encountered a monster capable of disrupting its life force field?
Ji Fuyou turned back and saw a dark green monster wielding lightning, launching a fierce attack on the divine beast, the Horned Deer.

"The Flourishing Cult Leader!?"

Ji Fuyou was overjoyed.

He searched for most of the day but couldn't find the true identity of the cult leader, Fengwo. Unexpectedly, he actually came to his door.

Faced with such a terrifying monster, even though the divine beast antler deer had a life force field protecting it, it still roared and screamed in shock.

In particular, the lightning of the Flourishing Lord had a strong paralyzing effect. Under these circumstances, the level 7 divine beast could only scream in agony from the shock and had no strength to fight back.

Seeing that the attention of the Fengwo Sect Master was completely drawn to the divine beast horned deer, Ji Fuyou immediately put away the Dragon Pattern Sword, took the Cold Moon Sword, and did not even choose to activate the Heavenly Jewel Stone.

He focused all his energy on visualizing the blazing sun in the Blazing Sun Sword Technique.

The moment the blazing sun was visualized taking shape, Ji Fuyou took a step forward.

Accelerate, charge!
The Overlord's True Form and the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique were used almost simultaneously.

When the cult leader of Fengwo realized that there was a third party present, his whole body surged with power. With the force of his rampage, he suddenly shot out like an arrow, heading straight for the cult leader of Fengwo.

As he lunged at the leader of the Fengwo sect, the blazing sun he had visualized in his mind was detonated.

In an instant, the spiritual power containing the violent intent of a stellar explosion directly interfered with the external matter. With the support of the life force field, the particles around the Cold Moon Sword rapidly heated up, turning into visible flames that illuminated the mist!

The weapon burns with the flames of the spirit!
"Roar!"

The leader of Fengwo immediately sensed the threat of the sword, and his entire body crackled with electricity.

The streaks of lightning seemed to coalesce into a thunderous claw, slamming into Ji Fuyou's body.

With the speed of lightning, he had no way to dodge it.

And Ji Fuyou...

I never thought of hiding.

With the deflection force field protecting him and his Overlord True Body immune to paralysis, he almost withstood the attack of the thunderous claw. As he was being devoured by the lightning, the dazzling blazing sun, with its intense heat that tore through the mist, slashed fiercely at the body of the Fertile Sect Master.

Even though the Flourishing Sect Master also possessed a protective force field, and this field was extremely sturdy, he was still instantly brought to a standstill by the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, which was enhanced with a life force field and had unparalleled explosive power.

The next moment, Ji Fuyou, who was prepared, clenched his left hand into a sword shape and pointed it out fiercely.

The innate armor-piercing sword energy erupted.

Taking advantage of the moment when the life force field of the Fertile Sect Master was almost brought to a standstill by the Fiery Sun Sword Technique, the sword energy directly passed through the Fertile Sect Master's protective force field and pierced through his head.

"Oh!"

The powerful energy surged!

The head of the cult leader was blasted open, leaving a bloody hole.

Such an injury would be difficult for even a powerful figure like the Master of Fengwo to endure.

The roars, screams, and the rampant power of thunder came to an abrupt halt.

This enormous monster, towering three meters tall, didn't even have time to activate its power of void authority before Ji Fuyou, who had suddenly attacked, delivered a fatal blow, causing it to fall backward.

"call!"

The moment the fertile leader fell, Ji Fuyou let out a long breath.

The life force field quickly receded from the Cold Moon Sword and returned to the body.

The intense blaze in his mental world, created by visualizing the raging sun, subsided as he quickly withdrew all his mental fluctuations.

That sword strike he just made was incredibly audacious.

When they make a move, it's earth-shattering.

Fortunately, the result was as he expected.

His own strength, the destructive power of the Cold Moon Sword, the explosive power of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, the enhancement of the life force field, and the ultimate sublimation of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique...

The sword nearly shattered the protective force field of the Fengwo Sect Master, providing the perfect opportunity for the innate armor-piercing sword energy to deliver the fatal blow.

"Master of Abundance".

Ji Fuyou recalled the scene when he faced this monster at the Fengwo Temple.

At that time, the monster displayed power that could be described as domineering.

With a single move, he swiftly and decisively killed several master-level martial artists.

Even the powerful Nan Kuangdao Fengyulou had no chance to fight back in front of him.

If it weren't for his mastery of the powerful and top-tier Vajra Body, this master-level martial artist would have had his head crushed by the Fengwo Sect Master in a single exchange.

At that time, almost everyone was driven to despair by the sheer power displayed by this monster.

But now...

He killed the monster all by himself, without any teammates or help from anyone.

He killed this terrifying being that he thought he couldn't defeat just a few months ago.

This change...

"The Star-Devouring Demon will arrive in more than three years. The improvement I've made in just a few months has allowed me to defeat the previously seemingly invincible Lord of Fertile on my own. How much will I have grown in three years!?"

Ji Fuyou's thoughts were churning.

For the first time, he felt...

If he continues to grow at this rate, perhaps in the future, when the Star-Devouring Demon truly descends, he will be able to change the fate of Red Star's destruction through his own power.
