Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 330 Dryad
"Holy Realm Civilization! Great Sage! Authority of Souls!"

Ji Fuyou looked at the skeleton swordsman who had turned to ashes, his heart heavy.

Power is the key for a lower-level civilization to overcome a stronger one.

Similarly, it is also the key to preserving a spark of hope after a civilization fails.

The Rainbow City in the Daytime Forest Secret Realm and the Holy Realm Civilization in the Demon Suppression Valley are both examples of this.

They relied on the authority of life and the authority of soul respectively to preserve their civilization after failing the trial.

but……

Although civilizations manage to preserve a spark after their defeat, without exception, they all linger on in a state of mere survival.

In this context, there exists a relatively orderly and peaceful civilization like Rainbow City.

There are also civilizations like Zhenmo Valley that harbor the idea of ​​being reborn by borrowing another's shell.

Of course, the current Red Star is not qualified to allow them to "be reborn in another's body".

Once they leave the territory of the Black Demon King in the Demon Suppression Valley, lose the cover of their "demon" identity, and are detected by the Heavenly Ranking rules again, the Heavenly Ranking rules will inevitably change.

By then, it will be too late for them to escape back to Zhenmo Valley.

Unless the civilization they are "reborn" into is powerful enough to help them overcome trials they have never faced before, they will only face utter annihilation.

"Ninth rank...that is, the early stage of the Heavenly Realm! After transforming into a demon, his strength should decrease, but that Great Sage has the authority of a soul, so the decrease won't be much. He will probably still have the strength of the Heavenly Realm, or even close to the Heavenly Realm..."

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment: "The remaining eight commanders... after being transformed into demons, their strength should be between the seventh and eighth rank, that is, from the late Earth Realm to the peak Earth Realm..."

Judging from their level of strength, they survived the third round of the Civilization War, but like Rainbow Sun City, they fell in the fourth round.

but……

Compared to Rainbow Sun City, which fought against the Blood Moon Demon King, Demon Suppression Valley completely submitted to the Black Sky Demon King, eking out a living in the Black Sky Demon King's territory by transforming into demons. From this point of view, it can be seen that Demon Suppression Valley is weaker than Rainbow Sun City.

“Weakness is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it can help our Crimson Star Civilization to better complete the transition of its cultivation system. In addition, unlike Rainbow Sun City, the cultivation system of Demon Suppression Valley is mainly based on the spirit.”

This complements the Eternal Day Scripture.

The cultivation techniques of Zhenmo Valley have already been spread. Since things have come to this, Ji Fuyou can only think of the positive side.

"I possess the authority to teleport through the void, allowing me to move freely through any fog. Let's go inside the Demon Suppression Valley and find out their true nature."

As Ji Fuyou pondered, he decided to further explore the Demon-Suppressing Valley.

But just as he took a step, he noticed a flash of purple light in Chi Xuan's charred and ashes corpse.

"This is……"

Ji Fuyou was taken aback. He quickly went to the charred remains and searched for a while before finding a purple crystal!
It's not a physical or spiritual source crystal yet!

It is a heritage crystal!
"how come……"

Can intelligent life forms also produce source crystals and crystal stones?
"No, they... are no longer simply intelligent beings! They've long been transformed into monsters! Although they're just relatively low-level skeleton monsters, they... obviously can't be considered regular skeleton monsters!"

Physical source crystals and spiritual source crystals naturally won't appear on them!

They don't even have enough for themselves, so where would the "indigestion" that leads to energy accumulation and the formation of source crystals come from?
But the inheritance crystal...

But there is still hope.

As long as these monsters don't "commit suicide," it's fine.

"This purple inheritance crystal..."

Ji Fuyou's spirit was slightly perceived.

Suddenly, a secret technique that Ji Fuyou almost mistook for the Blazing Sun Sword Technique came to mind.

"Sun-Chasing Sword Qi!"

Ji Fuyou was digesting the vast amount of information contained in this inheritance crystal.

Sword Qi Chasing the Sun...

To some extent, it can be seen as an upgraded version of the innate armor-piercing sword energy.

but……

Compared to the innate armor-piercing sword energy, the Sun-Chasing Sword Energy is not only more refined, but also has a longer range and greater power. Its armor-piercing ability has been enhanced to an unprecedented level.

Ordinary vitality, life force fields, and even deflection fields cannot withstand the sharpness of this sword energy.

To some extent, this sword energy was created specifically to suppress life force fields and mental force fields.

The release of the Sun Chasing Sword Qi requires a whopping 50 points in both spirit and physique!
In some ways, it can already be considered a secret technique of the Heavenly Realm.

The reason why Ji Fuyou felt that this secret technique and the Blazing Sun Sword Technique were of the same origin was that the method of visualizing the Blazing Sun could also be used to unleash the Sun Chasing Sword Qi.

This greatly reduces the difficulty of executing this sword energy.

Gathering the power to ignite the blazing sun, a sword aura bursting forth like a scorching sun strikes and annihilates all enemies within its linear range.

Although the power of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique is slightly reduced when visualized, its attack range of tens of meters and its ability to suppress life force fields and mental force fields are preserved.

"This power is truly... worthy of the purple heritage!"

Ji Fuyou was deeply shaken.

Then, he turned his gaze to the location of the two-meter-long steel fork that had been completely destroyed by the power of destruction.

"Unfortunately, that divine weapon is broken... The reason why Chi Xuan was able to unleash the Sun Chasing Sword Qi with his non-heavenly realm status was because of the advantage of that divine weapon... And the fact that he could rival an eighth-level opponent with his seventh-level status was also largely due to the Sun Chasing Divine Weapon and the Sun Chasing Sword Qi."

His expression held a hint of regret.

If he could obtain such a divine weapon, even if his physique and spirit had not yet reached 50 points, with the help of the characteristics of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, he would probably be able to unleash the full power of the Sun Chasing Sword Qi.

At that time, under the Heavenly Realm, who could withstand the sharpness of such sword energy?
While pondering, Ji Fuyou searched the remains of the skeleton swordsmen and skeleton spearmen once more. Finally…

Unsurprisingly.

Nothing.

The skeleton monsters in Demon Suppression Valley are all transformed from saints of at least the fifth rank in the Holy Realm civilization. They either won't drop anything, or they will...

They are all at least red heritage crystals.

"The red heritage crystal is good, but its cost performance is still too low."

These skeleton swordsmen are not weak.

Perhaps their mental strength isn't very high, around 35, but they are still beings who have cultivated divine sense.

Their combat power is slightly inferior to that of the Crimson Star Martial Saint, but if three or five of them join forces, they still have the ability to surround and kill the Crimson Star Martial Saint.

With such powerful abilities and a low drop rate, it's naturally not cost-effective.

Instead of coming to Zhenmo Valley to deal with these monsters, it would be better to go to the ruins of Yindu to hunt boarmen, or to the Ten Thousand Snake Valley mining area to hunt corpse demons.

……

"Speaking of which..."

At this time, Ji Fuyou had already gone deep into the Demon Suppression Valley and arrived at a not-so-dense jungle.

In the Demon Suppression Valley, besides the skeleton swordsmen and skeleton spearmen transformed from beings of the Holy Realm, there are also many skeleton warriors and skeleton generals of the same caliber as those in the Yellow Dragon Cave.

These monsters, Ji Fuyou, can be dealt with in a single strike of the Dragon Pattern Flying Sword.

also……

"There are corpse demons here too?"

Ji Fuyou looked ahead at a monster whose body was rotting but whose flesh and blood were still intact.

He once again used his spiritual power to pierce the monster's head through its skull.

As I walked, the view suddenly opened up ahead...

A lake suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Lakes are normal.

What surprised Ji Fuyou was that this lake...

"It's exactly the same lake where the tree spirit was in my dream!"

Ji Fuyou muttered to himself.

In his search for the lake from his dream, he dispatched several groups of men deep into the Misty Forest, searching almost the entire forest, but they found nothing that matched his goal.

Unexpectedly, the tree demon's actual "respawn" location is actually in the Demon Suppression Valley!?
"so……"

Ji Fuyou pondered: "Is the opening of the Demon Suppression Valley inevitable? It should be in about half a month. After the Demon Suppression Valley and the Four Kingdoms of Red Star discuss the matter, the people of the Four Kingdoms of Red Star will enter the Demon Suppression Valley to adventure and train. And one of the dreams is about encountering the thousand-year-old tree demon in the middle of the lake here."

There are no tree spirits in the small lake now, but they will appear in two months...

Is it because the Holy Realm Civilization and the Crimson Star Civilization became entangled and changed?
If he seals off Zhenmo Valley and prevents the Red Star people from contacting the Holy Realm civilization of Zhenmo Valley, can he change the future?
Ji Fuyou couldn't help but think of the Mayan temples.

Because he took the initiative and wiped out all the living statues in the entire Mayan temple, to the point that...

The event that appeared at the Mayan ruins did not happen.

but……

It seems nothing will change for the future.

At least he couldn't see any changes coming.

"Furthermore, the Demon Suppression Valley is determined to bring Chi Xing onto their warship. With my current strength, I may not be able to completely blockade the Demon Suppression Valley."

Ji Fuyou turned his gaze back to the small lake.

What he really needs to deal with now are those with ill intentions from the Demon Suppression Valley.

"Although I cannot seal off the Demon Suppression Valley, I already have a way to investigate it thoroughly and find out its origins and background."

He can explore deeply by constructing dreams.

As he has gained a deeper understanding of the Great Dream Scripture over the years, his dream control skills have also improved accordingly.

He could fit every dream he had ever had into a series of interconnected loops.

They've now found the tree spirit's dream...

Then he can use this dream as the core to construct another dream, and then use the dream to explore the Demon-Suppressing Valley.

Although leaving the area inhabited by the tree spirit would take a heavy toll on one's mental energy, but...

With his current mental strength, he could easily endure for half an hour or an hour even if he went to a scene that had never appeared in his dreams before.

He could use his numerical advantage to uncover all the secrets of the Demon Suppression Valley.

"The dream world, the dream world I've already constructed, is my greatest trump card!"

Ji Fuyou muttered to himself.

By combining his precognitive dream talent with the Great Dream Scripture, he constructs a dream world that is essentially a projection of the real world.

Failure a hundred times or a thousand times will not affect reality.

If he succeeds even once out of the hundreds or thousands of attempts in that world, the secrets of the Demon-Suppressing Valley will be laid bare before him.
