Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 323 Planning
"Destroy authority!"

Ji Fuyou looked at the temple before him.

He has been staying in this temple ever since he was teleported here.

They knew nothing about the area surrounding the temple.

Now that the living beings in the temple have been completely wiped out, and the Void Authority is readily available, he can take a spin around.

He immediately began to wander around the enormous temple.

After turning around for a while, Ji Fuyou found a large door.

The gate appears to be at least 20 meters high and 16 meters wide, and is made of an unknown material.

Look how thick it is...

Its weight is probably over a thousand tons.

Especially above this door, there is a huge skull hanging.

This head is clearly not of human species, but of some kind of demonic creature, with four sharp bone spurs connecting it to the skull.

Based on the proportions of this skull...

This monster is probably over forty meters tall!
It's hard to imagine what kind of monster this is.

The gate is currently closed and has not been opened.

Ji Fuyou had no idea what was behind the door.

But to hang such a powerful monster as a trophy on this gate...

It's easy to guess the immense power of the civilization behind it.

"This door... is somewhat like the dragon-slaying stone used in tombs... but not entirely."

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment, then returned to the inner sanctum of the temple below.

He approached the stone pillar where the statue of the Mayan leader had stood, examined it carefully, and was astonished to discover that behind the pillar, it seemed...

It really is a tomb!
There must be a terrifying creature, nearly ten meters long, buried inside.

The tomb's slabs were completely sealed to the ground, and given that it was over ten meters long and ten meters wide, it was extremely heavy, and even Ji Fuyou was powerless to break it...

"and many more!"

Ji Fuyou seemed to have thought of something.

He cannot destroy, but the power of destruction can!
With this thought in mind, he swiftly used his power of destruction, placing one hand on the coffin lid, which was over ten meters long, ten meters wide, and nearly half a meter thick.

The next moment, his thoughts, drawn by the power of destruction, seemed to merge into the coffin lid, allowing him to clearly perceive all the molecular structures inside it.

Furthermore, guided by the power of destruction, he clearly "saw" the weak points in the molecular structure of this coffin lid.

With a thought, these links were slightly modified, dismantled, and destroyed.

And with such negligible structural damage, this huge metal mineral slab, weighing hundreds of tons and which even Ji Fuyou couldn't pull out, was directly transformed into a large cloud of dust with a slight force, as if it had undergone tens of thousands of years of weathering.

"This……"

Ji Fuyou's pupils constricted sharply!
Destructive power!

This is the power of destruction!
The hundreds of tons of metal stone slabs were instantly reduced to ashes.

What if he used this method on buildings?

What if we used this tactic in combat?
Especially modern technological creations...

He could probably wipe out even the most advanced aircraft carrier with a wave of his hand if he wanted to.

after all……

An aircraft carrier is also a lifeless object without a "soul"!

Fortunately, he now controls this power.

"call!"

Ji Fuyou let out a long breath.

"It truly is... the power of gods and demons!"

He flicked his hand sharply, unleashing his strength to sweep away all the dust formed by the dissipation of the metal slab and toss it to a corner.

Without the stone slab, a corpse was revealed inside.

Just as he had guessed, the corpse was a full ten meters tall.

Judging from the skeleton...

It resembles that Mayan leader statue.

Or perhaps the statue of the Mayan leader was sculpted as a slightly smaller version of this creature.

This monster is the true Mayan leader.

However, for some unknown reason, he has already died.

And he has been dead for many years.

"If the Mayan patriarch I killed was sculpted based on this corpse and gained 'life' by absorbing the power that dissipated after his death, then those previous lifelike figures..."

Ji Fuyou thought of the Terracotta Army.

Those statues could easily turn into the Terracotta Army.

It's just that they were eroded by a special force, or refined using a special method, which gave these terracotta warriors "active" characteristics, placing them in a state that is neither alive nor dead.

"If my guess is true, the real Maya people, the Maya temples... are probably far more powerful than I anticipated..."

Ji Fuyou stared at the corpse...

The statue formed by the "activation" of the dissipated power is powerful enough to rival the late Earth Realm...

Just how powerful must the real Mayan patriarch have been?

Even those at the peak of the Earth Realm might not be able to stop it!
Heavenly Ranks!?
"Celestial Civilization!"

It's at least on par with Rainbow City.

A powerful entity capable of illuminating a thousand miles around with its blazing sun and dispelling the fog.

Such a civilization...

This is beyond the current capabilities of the Red Star civilization.

Ji Fuyou glanced in the direction of the temple gate.

Although he possessed the power of destruction, enabling him to breach that thousand-ton door, but...

Before becoming a true Celestial, he did not intend to easily have further contact with this civilization.

As he pondered, Ji Fuyou's gaze turned to the corpse. The corpse had clearly been dead for a very long time.

Even the bones showed signs of decay.

But when Ji Fuyou looked him over carefully for a moment, he quickly found an ornament on him.

one……

It should be equivalent to a necklace or other ornament worn by humans.

Of course, due to its large size, this ornament is over thirty centimeters long.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a head sculpture made of an unknown material.

"This skeleton... is it the head of the Mayan patriarch?"

Ji Fuyou was unaware of the details, but he could tell at a glance that this ornament was no ordinary item.

Otherwise, this powerful Mayan leader would not have been left to serve as a burial object.

Although Ji Fuyou couldn't currently discern the purpose of the portrait, he still picked it up and kept it as a trophy.

After doing all this, he inspected the temple again, even trying to search for hidden compartments and secret rooms.

With his domineering power over the rules of destruction, he has no trouble opening any hidden compartments or secret rooms.

pity……

After going around in circles, Ji Fuyou found nothing else.

He no longer wasted time.

The power of the void was activated, and mist appeared. Before long, he had appeared in a temple located in the Mayan ruins.

"team leader!"

Fang Qiyun and the others, who were on guard everywhere, noticed his presence immediately.

Ji Fuyou nodded and said directly, "The matter inside has been resolved. However, just to be safe, let's stay here for a few more days and see if there will be any new changes in this temple shrouded in mist."

"it is good."

Fang Qiyun nodded immediately.

Ji Fuyou immediately left the temple and headed to Sand Highlands.

During these ten days or so, although he would occasionally come out to rest, but...

How can recovery in the fog compare to a good night's sleep in bed?

In addition, he had just met with the Mayan leader...

The living statue of the Mayan leader survived a life-or-death battle. Its body was repaired by the source crystal, but its mental exhaustion was not so easily soothed.

I really need to rest and recuperate.

……

Time flies, and half a month has already passed.

After half a month, the Mayan ruins remained calm.

If Ji Fuyou hadn't given the order, Fang Qiyun, Yang Kaitai, and the others would have been capable of flattening the entire temple and completely erasing this forbidden area.

"It seems the scene in the dream really won't happen."

Ji Fuyou witnessed this scene and felt a pang of emotion.

This was the first time he had altered what was about to happen in a dream, causing it to vanish in its infancy.

"Since the appearance of the living image changed because I breached the Mayan temple, then in the future, could I also stop the arrival of the Devouring Demon through some of my actions?"

Ji Fuyou's eyes gleamed: "For example... winning all the second and third rounds of trials? Escaping the fate of the defeated!?"

At that moment, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"There are still more than four months left in the first round of trials. I am more or less confident about this round. The interval between the second round of trials is twice that of the first round, which is 26 months. In other words, we have 30 months to prepare. Given the current growth rate of the Red Star humans... it is not unrealistic to expect to train a group of late-stage Earth Realm warriors to cope with the trials in 30 months."

With these thoughts in mind, Ji Fuyou became full of confidence.

"Go back and refine another golden physique source crystal!"

The next target to deal with is the tree spirit.

It is suspected to be located in the Misty Forest.

However, what still puzzles Ji Fuyou is that he sent many people into the Misty Forest to search for the tree spirit, but so far there has been no feedback.

Theoretically, a tree spirit located in the middle of a small lake should be easier to find.

But with no clues for so long, Ji Fuyou couldn't help but wonder if the location where the tree demon appeared might not be the Misty Forest at all.

"If we really can't find it, then forget it."

Ji Fuyou shook his head.

The tree spirit's strength is nothing special.

At best, he was on the same level as the Mayan guards.

Let alone a living statue comparable to the Mayan patriarch, it probably even pales in comparison to the Fiery Patriarch, who was as swift as the wind and possessed the power of paralysis.

"With four months left before the first round of civilization trials, it would be best to try to acquire one or two more power of authority."

According to Yuanxing, a life form can theoretically be granted a maximum of two powers.

However, the power of the same type can be superimposed and strengthened.

In other words, he can obtain another void authority and another destruction authority.

Theoretically, this allows one to wield power in four ways.

His act of killing the living statue of the Mayan patriarch proves that such acts of rebellion against the celestial order have a high degree of feasibility in being granted authority.

Therefore, he could certainly start from this point.

"Four months... So, that leaves the horned dragon in Death Valley."

A glint flashed in Ji Fuyou's eyes.

Find the horned dragon and kill it...

The only difference is that the horned dragon's strength is slightly weaker than it is now.

I don't know if it will ultimately meet the standard of "turning the impossible into the possible".

It depends a bit on luck.

If I'm lucky, I should be able to get another power.
