Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 366 Decay
The fifth to eighth ranks represent the early to peak stages of the Earth Realm, respectively.

How big is the gap between each stage?

In theory...

He can take on ten opponents single-handedly!

It would take ten sixth-tier beings to have a chance of killing one seventh-tier being!
Just like when Ji Fuyou was at the sixth rank, he easily overwhelmed six fifth-rank opponents.

Although the current seasonal planktonic life force utilization rate is only 34%, ...

His spiritual realm has undergone a transformation.

Not only did he achieve spiritual sainthood, but he also reached the state of divine thought and even began to deduce multiple states.

Mental power doesn't significantly boost a martial artist's combat strength, but...

Even a ten percent advantage would significantly enhance his strengths.

Furthermore, he was now facing not six fifth-tier opponents like in Starlight City, but three sixth-tier opponents and ten fifth-tier opponents...

Strictly speaking, these people's combat strength is only equivalent to four sixth-tier individuals...

At most, five sixth-order units would be the limit.

The threat Ji Fuyou poses now is not as great as when he faced the six Martial Saints, including Zuo Chunqiu and Zhao Changkong, back when he was at the sixth rank.

Therefore, when the brilliant light of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique shone into the cave, Ji Fuyou suddenly charged forward.

Blackface, the king of the underworld, was the first to be hit. He felt as if a blazing sun had truly fallen from the sky, and the brilliant firelight mixed with overwhelming power slashed fiercely at the sword light formed by his Dragon Roar Sword Technique.

Faced with this strike as powerful as the falling sun, all dragon roars, sword auras, and life force fields vanished instantly, like ice and snow under the blazing sun.

He felt an immense force, exceeding his limits and accompanied by intense heat, crashing into his body and then being transmitted to every corner of his body through his life force field.

In particular, the shockwaves from the explosion of the blade energy and the fire made him feel as if he were in close proximity to an exploding cannonball. He was thrown out and crashed uncontrollably into the cave wall dozens of meters away.

Before he even landed, the excruciating pain inside him caused him to cough up a mouthful of blood.

one strike!
With just one strike, Blackface, whose life utilization rate had already reached 21%, was severely injured and sent flying backward.

Although Black Face knew that Ji Fuyou was very strong, several months ago, he had been known in the Great Shang Dynasty for his feat of fighting six people at once, and was recognized by Red Star as the number one martial saint.

But he never imagined he would be this strong!

However, despite the overwhelming shock, the black-faced figure, who had been sent flying backward, still stared wide-eyed at the battlefield ahead.

Because he knew that he, Hercules, and Terry, the three sixth-tier martial saints, were attacking together.

Ji Fuyou took the initiative and cleaved him away with a single strike. Now, facing attacks from Hercules and Terry, he would inevitably...

The next second, Black Face's eyes widened suddenly.

"Roar!"

But the blazing power of the sun, which had been unleashing devastating force, was as if bound and condensed by an invisible force, transforming back into a sword-qi dragon that roared and lunged at the Hercules standing nearby.

The burst of sword energy, like a fire dragon, bombarded Hercules' body, instantly engulfing the sky full of lightning and spear shadows.

A life force field!?
The Sun Chasing Sword Qi is an upgraded version of the Innate Armor-Piercing Sword Qi. Its greatest characteristic is that it can break through defensive shields and life force fields!
As the fiery sword energy devoured Hercules, the crescent-shaped blade aura surrounded Ji Fuyou. Just as Terry's devastating slash came crashing down, it was fiercely blocked in mid-air by this crescent-shaped blade aura.

"Oh!"

The moment the blades clashed, the atmosphere in the void exploded.

A powerful, steel-like force erupted from the two swords, engulfing the two men.

However, when this blade energy landed on Ji Fuyou, it was directly deflected by the deflecting force field and slashed towards the ground, tearing out cracks.

Terry...

He also has a secret protective technique, with protective energy surrounding him.

However, the blade energy unleashed by Ji Fuyou seemed to have a life of its own, with several blade energies landing on the same point at the same time, shattering his protective aura and further bombarding his life force field.

Although it failed to break his life force field, the impact blasted him away.

The siege by the three sixth-tier forces was broken in an instant.

While the siege of the three sixth-tier forces was broken, the offensive of the ten martial saints in the surrounding area finally arrived.

The first to rush forward was Raymond, who knew he was fighting for himself.

As he rushed towards Ji Fuyou, his eyes were filled with ferocity and excitement.

He seemed to be thinking about how Ji Fuyou, who had offended all the martial saint forces in the world and was attacked by three sixth-level martial saints at the same time, should die.

But as Ji Fuyou defeated the three sixth-level Martial Saints and turned his attention to him, the ferocity and excitement on his face turned into horror and terror.

He clearly couldn't have imagined that three sixth-tier Martial Saints would be defeated so quickly!

"call out!"

A flash of light pierced the air!
With his swordsmanship, the innate armor-piercing sword energy he unleashed violently impacted Raymond's life force field.

Although he immediately withdrew when he sensed something was wrong, his absolute advantage in life force utilization and the overwhelming effect brought by his realm still allowed the innate armor-piercing sword energy, which was not particularly powerful, to pierce through his life force field.

The moment the life force field shattered, the innate armor-piercing sword energy shot towards Raymond's head.

"No... Ji Wusheng Rao..."

"Oh!"

The culprit who caused this great battle didn't even have time to utter a complete last word before his head was pierced by sword energy, and he died on the spot.

“Every Martial Saint is the most precious resource of the Crimson Star Human Race. In the past, I was unwilling to harm them in the slightest, so I gave you all face! But I never expected that my repeated acts of mercy would only result in your taking an inch and then a mile, and your arrogance!”

Ji Fuyou growled, his life force field suddenly erupting. "You... you really think you're something special!?"

"Zizi!"

Flames burst forth.

The two martial saints, who followed closely behind, slashed fiercely with their swords at Ji Fuyou's life force field!
However, under the combined burst of the life force field and the deflection force field, the attacks of these two martial saints were unable to break through the life force field, and they could not even transmit their own force to Ji Fuyou's body.

To their astonishment, intense flames erupted once more from the void.

A blazing sun, as if descending from the sky, followed the blade's light and descended upon the two martial saints with the force to incinerate everything.

"what!"

Amidst terrified screams, the two martial saints were completely engulfed by the blazing sun.

"Who gave you the courage to think you could surround and kill me just because you have a numerical advantage?!"

The scattered flames were reignited, transforming into a fire dragon. As Ji Fuyou pushed forward, the life force fields of the three Martial Saints rushing forward were directly shattered by this fire dragon-like Chasing Sun Sword Qi.

One of the Martial Saints, who was the first to be hit, had his life force field shattered, and his body was directly pierced by the Sun Chasing Sword Qi.

A charred hole filled his chest, reflecting his face filled with fear and disbelief, which sent chills down the spines of the three sixth-level martial saints, Blackface, Hercules, and Terry, who had just recovered somewhat and were about to rejoin the battle.

"How could this be!? I've sparred with other Martial Saints, and it's not impossible for me to fight six opponents at once. I figured I just couldn't do it as easily as Ji Fuyou. It's clear that we sixth-tier warriors might be slightly weaker than Ji Fuyou, but the three of us working together could definitely make up for that gap. But why..."

"We're making progress! Ji Fuyou is making progress too! Seventh rank! He's definitely broken through to the seventh rank!"

"Late stage of Earth Realm... how could it be... so fast!?"

A chilling sensation instantly spread throughout everyone's body.

Just as Terry said, they are making progress, and so is Ji Fuyou.

in case……

Ji Fuyou has really broken through to the seventh rank...

Do not!
Not if!

This is definitely seventh-tier combat power!

It would take eight or ten sixth-tier Martial Saints working together to fight against a seventh-tier combatant!?

"I will teach you what it means to have reverence!"

Just then, Ji Fuyou's voice rang out again.

As he took a deep breath, a phantom image of a celestial dragon seemed to gradually appear in the void.

This scene finally jolted Blackface, Hercules, and Terry, who were still in shock and fear, back to reality.

The three of them shouted almost simultaneously, "Martial Saint Ji, please stop..."

"The culprit has been executed, Master Ji, please calm your anger!"

"It was no easy feat for us to become Martial Saints. Please, for the sake of Crimson Star's need for Martial Saints to fight against demons and to participate in the Heavenly Ranking War, spare us this time..."

pity……

late!

"Roar!"

Above Ji Fuyou, the illusory image of a celestial dragon solidified, and then suddenly opened its mouth, emitting a dragon roar that shook the heavens.

The moment the dragon's roar was uttered, everyone in the arena, including Blackface, Hercules, and Terry, all sixth-tier Martial Saints, felt as if their hearts were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

The suffocating, despairing feeling, as if they were about to suffer sudden cardiac death, flooded their minds like a tidal wave.

The bone-chilling cold seeped into every corner of their bodies, causing them to almost lose control of their bodies.

fear!

fear!

In everyone's mind, there was only a kind of despair and fear of the superior beings that came from a life instinct!

Under the shock of this fear, whether they were fifth-tier or sixth-tier martial saints, they were all frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.

It's like weak creatures facing a mighty dragon, their natural enemy. All they can do is play dead, hold their breath, and plead and pray from the bottom of their hearts that such a great being as the dragon will not care about their insignificant lives.

pity……

Ji Fuyou was determined to make an example of someone, so he naturally wouldn't give up halfway.

Furthermore, he had already seen through the mental block caused by benevolence and no longer worried that the loss of too many Martial Saints might lead to heavy losses for the Crimson Star Humans in their fight against the Mist Beasts.

Instead, they viewed these vested interests and martial arts masters as obstacles to social progress.

The moment he unleashed the Heavenly Dragon Nine Sounds to awe the entire audience, the Judgment Blade in his hand also streaked like a streak of light, resolutely and decisively piercing through the air towards the martial saints surrounding him who were trying to kill him.

Destroy everything!

The six Martial Saints, who were so close at hand, were like lambs to the slaughter, with no room for resistance, as they were swept past one by one by the light of the Judgment Battle Blade.

Six fine heads were torn off by the flash of the blade.

This scene made Terry's eyes widen in horror.

"No!"
