Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 345 Hail
"how come……"

Lin Lun lowered his head with difficulty, as if trying to see clearly the hole that pierced through his entire body, burning all his internal organs into charcoal and turning them into nothingness.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

He had clearly distanced himself from Ji Fuyou.

Even though he had already done everything in his power to turn his life force field from offense to defense when he sensed the crisis.

He was clearly wearing a protective inner armor with considerable defensive capabilities...

However, he couldn't stop Ji Fuyou's sword!
All methods seemed like a joke under that sword energy, easily penetrated!
Even the life force field, which provides the Martial Saint with the greatest sense of security, is utterly vulnerable in the face of that sword energy, as if using a red-hot iron to slice through a piece of ice and snow.

Destroy and destroy.

Just like...

Back then, relying on his martial saintly power, he hunted down the Heavenly Ranking members, most of whom only possessed the strength of a high-level martial artist.

"I……"

Even though Lin Lun's life force utilization rate exceeded 20%, with such a large hole piercing his body and all his internal organs burned to ashes, he still had little chance of survival.

His body fell backward, his eyes filled with deep resentment, anger, and hatred...

Finally, it slowly lost its breath.

The moment he lost his breath, the Zhongtian position within Ji Fuyou's body trembled once more.

A special energy seemed to fly out from Lin Lun's body and pour into his Heavenly Position.

In an instant, the rankings fluctuated and rose rapidly.

In an instant, his celestial rank had undergone a transformation, leaping directly from the Middle Celestial Rank to the Great Celestial Rank.

Furthermore, faint red light emanated from the grid.

Even the slightest exposure to these red lights was enough to clear Ji Fuyou's mind considerably.

If it could be used...

He had a premonition that some of his cultivation techniques would be optimized and combined in a revolutionary way, becoming perfectly suited to him, thus allowing his cultivation to progress by leaps and bounds.

Great Celestial Position (4/1000)

"The Lesser Celestial Realm allows one to make rapid progress in skill mastery, while the Middle Celestial Realm grants a state of empowerment where the heavens and earth seem to be in harmony. The Greater Celestial Realm... however, allows cultivators to clearly and precisely analyze themselves, coordinate their cultivation system, and develop their own cultivation techniques to better unleash their power..."

A glint appeared in Ji Fuyou's eyes.

Organize your own cultivation system? Develop your own cultivation techniques to better unleash your power?
To what extent has his power reached?
49.8!

If one could truly develop and create a unique skill based on their own circumstances, perfectly unleashing their full potential...

He will leap to the peak of the Earth Realm in terms of both realm and power.

This span...

Not too big.

but……

"To ascend from the Middle Heavenly Position to the Great Heavenly Position, 100 Heavenly Position Ranks are required; to ascend from the Great Heavenly Position to the Supreme Heavenly Position, 1000 Ranks are required."

Ji Fuyou's thoughts drifted.

Promotion information.

The information about the Heavenly Position after the Great Heavenly Position is all information obtained from Ji Fuyou's own position after his position was upgraded.

However, with limited information, he did not know what changes would occur between the Supreme Celestial Position and the Great Celestial Position.

"1000 slots... We can only wait for the Civilization Trial. In the Civilization Trial, 108 civilizations compete for 108 slots. Theoretically, there are a total of 11664 Heavenly Positions. Let alone piling up a single Extreme Heavenly Position, if all the positions are concentrated on one person, piling up positions above the Extreme Heavenly Position would not be a problem."

Ji Fuyou's thoughts drifted.

After digesting the changes brought about by his Heavenly Position, he dared not linger in one place.

They quickly began to take stock of Lin Lun's spoils of war.

Lin Lun carried not only a celestial gemstone to ensure he was not under mental control, but also a dragon ring that Ji Fuyou had previously sold.

Besides these two treasures, the most important thing is the battle sword in his hand.

This battle blade was able to collide with the blade energy unleashed by Ji Fuyou's Blazing Sun Sword Technique without being affected in the slightest because it was also forged from Judgment Divine Iron.

"There are probably only one or two of these weapons in the entire Black Gold Empire."

Ji Fuyou packed his things away and quickly moved towards a mountain range more than ten kilometers away.

Before he even reached the mountains, he had already noticed a large number of armed helicopters and drones flying toward his location.

Given Lin Lun's experience, these armed helicopters were kept at a greater distance, but the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft...

"call out!"

The dragon-patterned sword pierces the air!
A drone that had infiltrated within a kilometer of him and had not yet had time to launch a missile was shot down.

Amidst bursts of flame, it plummeted towards the ground.

"That's quite decisive."

Ji Fuyou glanced around, then sped up again, quickly arriving at the location given by the deputy senior-level mental energy user.

There is a cluster of houses here, which appears to be a small village at the foot of the mountains in the suburbs.

When Ji Fuyou entered a courtyard, there were three high-level martial artists waiting inside.

Upon seeing Ji Fuyou arrive, one of them quickly produced a specially made garment: "Commander, this is the latest high-tech clothing that can effectively shield you from satellite detection and multi-band spectral detection. Wear this garment, enter the mountainous area, and travel sixty kilometers along this mountainous region to reach the forbidden area closest to Dimo ​​City."

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou responded. But then, he noticed the three of them…

She was also putting on makeup.

Furthermore, their clothing and appearance were quite similar to his; without close inspection, it was impossible to tell the difference.

"you……"

"For safety reasons, we will draw away the pursuers to buy time for the commander."

The leader responded.

There was not a trace of hesitation or doubt in his expression.

But Ji Fuyou knew that the three high-level martial artists were disguised as him to lure away the pursuers.

Certain death!

His gaze lingered on the group for a moment, then he suddenly sneered, "This is the retreat plan you devised for me?"

"You may not know this, sir, but the royal family of Dimo ​​City... is very afraid of death. Therefore, the city has the world's most stringent defense system and rapid response force. Especially after entering the extraordinary era, they have developed several special countermeasures against the invasion of Martial Saints. These countermeasures have already been activated."

The leading high-ranking martial artist said, "It's almost impossible to get you out of Dimo ​​City safely without paying any price..."

"Even if I were to retreat, I wouldn't need to rely on the sacrifices of others as cover."

Ji Fuyou calmly asked, "Is there a safe fortress here that can temporarily withstand the bombardment?"

After he finished speaking, he added, "It will take at least 5 minutes."

"The underground of this villa has been hollowed out, making it a safe house in itself. As long as the other side does not use bunker busters, heavy bombs, or even nuclear weapons, it is not difficult to withstand it for 5 minutes."

The leading high-level martial artist said, "Even if Dimo ​​City had a contingency plan, the mobilization and deployment of heavy bombs and bunker busters still cannot be completed within 5 minutes."

"Okay, go in."

Ji Fuyou said something.

The three high-ranking martial artists exchanged glances and said, "Commander, soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders. Please don't worry about us. Your safe return is our only mission."

"You said it yourself, soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders. Now I'm ordering you to follow orders and retreat into the underground bunker!"

Ji Fuyou gave the order directly.

Upon hearing this, the three had no choice but to retreat to the underground fortress.

"These people are really..."

Ji Fuyou didn't know what to say.

Ultimately, it was because the people below simply did not understand the extent of his strength, and thus regarded him as an ordinary martial saint.

The final plan was to help a martial saint escape from Dimo ​​City.

"If I had just explained my methods to them, and they had left this special garment at this base, I could have simply taken it and left it there. Why did I have to send three people here to their deaths?"

This made it somewhat inconvenient for him to leave directly.

Good thing...

His discovery of the imperial archives during this incursion into the palace gave him a modicum of ability to resolve this crisis.

At that moment, he activated his mental power, and through the intersection of his mental energy field and the outside world, he directly extended his perception to several thousand meters, or even tens of thousands of meters in the air.

Then, by using mental power to interfere with external matter, the form of microscopic elements was rapidly changed, causing an extremely cold air mass to be drawn down from the heavens and directly collide with the humid air mass that had been evaporated due to the greenhouse effect of Dimo ​​City.

Two extreme air masses collided violently overhead, creating terrifying ripples.

In just a few minutes, cumulus clouds piled up into a superstorm over 20 kilometers wide. The rotating, rising air currents tore at the clouds at a terrifying speed of 80 meters per second. A large number of water droplets rushed towards the ice crystal nuclei like a storm, forming snow-white graupel. After a series of complex reactions, the graupel turned into hailstones that tumbled repeatedly between the clouds.

Each tumble makes the hailstones a little larger.

When these hailstones exceeded ten centimeters in diameter and weighed several kilograms, they fell at a speed of nearly one hundred meters per second...

The direction from which the cover was clearly visible was where a large number of drones and fighter jets were speeding towards.

"Alright, get out, we've broken through."

Ji Fuyou called out.

Upon receiving the order, the three high-level martial artists rushed out of the underground fortress. Looking at the distant sky, with its dark clouds looming over the city and a terrifying storm zone stretching over 20 kilometers, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Especially the flashes of light that occasionally streaked through the storm—those were the sparks from the destruction of drones.

This scene gave the three high-level martial artists an indescribable feeling of suffocation.

"This...this is..."

"Things went more smoothly than I expected. I thought that when I used this skill, they would just launch a heavy missile and raze our yard, including the entire village, to the ground."

Ji Fuyou mentally controlled the terrifying hailstones that were already falling, and said, "Take advantage of the fact that almost all the instruments and equipment have failed, the three of you should leave as soon as possible."

After saying that, he added, "That's an order!"

"Yes."

The three of them jolted awake from this incredible celestial phenomenon.

They took one last deep look at the area shrouded in hail and storm, and then at Ji Fuyou…

A deep sense of awe welled up in his eyes.

Let's break through.

After Ji Fuyou finished speaking, he leaped into the air and, taking advantage of the howling storm and raging hail outside, headed straight for a forbidden area shrouded in mist dozens of kilometers away.
