Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 373 Breakthrough
"Oh!"

The blazing, dazzling flames of the blade and the enormous, almost frightening, life force field of the crimson rooster...

The collision, including the mental energy field, resulted in an unparalleled outpouring of energy.

The fog, which covered an area of ​​tens of meters in radius, was visibly dispersed and torn apart, creating a near-vacuum zone.

The swirling mist formed a clearly visible shockwave, carrying flames, high temperatures, and intense light, sweeping across an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

Some nearby statues and decorations that were not destroyed by the hurricane were instantly shattered and reduced to ashes by the shockwave.

The solid ground was torn open by cracks thirty meters in diameter, which spread outwards like a spider web.

The terrifying shockwave and explosive force caused Chen Yunye and others, who were observing the battlefield from a kilometer away using various means, to turn pale with shock.

"This kind of power..."

"What kind of monster is that!?"

"Luckily, the captain didn't agree to let us explore this experimental palace first, otherwise, if we had encountered this monster... the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Horrified thoughts surged through their minds.

Zhao Changkong, Song Lingxiao, and the others considered switching positions. If they were to face the monster, they would probably be torn to shreds the moment they met it.

No wonder Chairman Ji, the number one martial saint of Red Star, was so apprehensive.

At the battleground a kilometer away, hurricanes and shockwaves raged, enough to tear any non-Martial Saint level creature that came within a hundred meters into a bloody mist.

Ji Fuyou unleashed what was arguably his strongest burst of power with the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, but the final result caused his expression to change drastically.

"They held up!?"

This crimson rooster actually withstood Ji Fuyou's Blazing Sun Sword Technique by relying on the dual defense of its life force field and mental force field!

"Giggle!"

As Ji Fuyou was reeling, the crimson rooster had already broken free from the shock of the Heavenly Dragon's Nine Sounds.

Its "small" body, less than a meter long, suddenly leaped up, its sharp claws tearing down at the nearby Ji Fuyou.

"not good!"

Ji Fuyou immediately transformed his life force field, turning offense into defense. At the same time, he held the Judgment Blade horizontally in front of him, precisely blocking the sharp claws of the crimson rooster that were tearing down.

"Zira!"

Sparks burst forth!

The battle blade, forged from heavy iron, was torn apart by the mutated monster, and sparks were visible to the naked eye.

It's as if its claws aren't made of flesh and blood, but some kind of special alloy.

Almost at the same moment he blocked the attack, the crimson rooster flapped its wings again, and a terrifying hurricane swept towards him.

In an instant, Ji Fuyou felt as if he had been struck by an invisible wall of air, or as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed heavy truck, and he was uncontrollably blasted away.

However, Ji Fuyou had already realized that he couldn't defeat this monster using conventional methods at all; his only advantage against this monster was...

"Buzz!"

A phantom image of a celestial dragon appears!

Although it would take half a breath for the Nine Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon to be formed, the moment the phantom of the Heavenly Dragon appeared, a series of "clucking" sounds suddenly appeared beside Ji Fuyou.

He was horrified to discover that the monster had appeared beside him, less than thirty meters away, and was about to raise its claws to tear his body apart from the side.

"This speed..."

Heaven and man are one!

At this moment, Ji Fuyou finally realized why this monster could be so fast!

This is the unity of man and nature!

It doesn't use its own speed to charge or move, but rather uses the power of heaven and earth to shift its position.

While attacking, it also manipulates the atmosphere to increase its speed.

Just like ordinary people, the speed at which they run with the wind and the speed at which they run against the wind are not even in the same league.

Especially when the wind force is level seven or eight.

The crimson rooster achieves its speed far beyond Ji Fuyou's imagination by manipulating the atmosphere and combining the two.

Fortunately, he decisively chose to unleash the Heavenly Dragon Nine Sounds, and fortunately, the monster's fear of the Heavenly Dragon Nine Sounds far exceeded expectations, otherwise...

The monster that suddenly attacked him using the technique of "unity of heaven and man" was probably already capable of tearing his entire body apart.

"Roar!"

The crimson rooster tried to flee upon sensing the phantom of the Heavenly Dragon, but the Heavenly Dragon's Nine Sounds had a far too powerful effect on it.

Even though it almost teleported away to a hundred meters away, it was still stunned by the dragon's roar.

But Ji Fuyou knew that it was not enough to simply intimidate the crimson rooster with the Nine Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon. He had to visualize the most complete and brilliant sun, unleash the strongest Sun Blazing Sword Technique, and then add the Sun Chasing Sword Qi in order to break through the monster's life force field and mental force field and achieve the final kill.

But now he...

It's obviously impossible to visualize a celestial dragon and a blazing sun at the same time!
unless……

Multitasking!
"Psychological multiformity!"

Under intense crisis and pressure, a blazing sun rose from his spiritual world, illuminating all directions.

As he lunged forward, his sword flashed, transforming into dazzling flames that once again engulfed the crimson rooster's body.

"Oh!"

The energy, flames, and hurricane exploded simultaneously!

Amidst the swirling mist and splashing flames, a fire dragon transformed into sword energy, roaring down and continuing to slash at the crimson rooster's body.

however……

It seems to have slightly increased resistance.

This time, the red rooster reacted noticeably faster.

Just as the Sun Chasing Sword Qi was about to completely shatter its two major energy fields by taking advantage of the shockwaves brought about by the Blazing Sun Sword Technique to its life force field, this monster actually struggled out of the shockwaves from the Nine Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon.

Wings flapping.

Dozens of air blades, no less powerful than the Crescent Moon Blade's aura, rained down upon the barely unleashed Sun Chasing Sword Qi, instantly shredding it into sparks that scattered in all directions. "This recovery speed..."

Ji Fuyou's pupils contracted sharply.

Without hesitation, he then visualized the illusory image of the Heavenly Dragon once more.

But he already knew very well that his chances were running out.

once!
With at most two more chances, this crimson rooster will fully adapt to the life-threatening power brought by the Nine Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon...

By then, he will have no hope of turning the tide except to teleport away.

"Tianlong!"

Ji Fuyou's spirit was boiling.

In the spiritual world, the phantom of the Heavenly Dragon rose into the air once more, filling the heavens and earth.

"Scorching Sun!"

As the phantom of the celestial dragon appeared, a great sun immediately followed.

However, doing two things at once is incredibly difficult!

What's more, to simultaneously contemplate two divine phenomena!?

Just as it is difficult for a person to focus on two different images at the same time, when the sun gathers, the phantom of the celestial dragon will gradually fade.

When the illusory image of the Heavenly Dragon condenses, even the blazing sun becomes merely a backdrop...

"Heavenly Dragon! Blazing Sun! Heavenly Dragon! Blazing Sun!"

Ji Fuyou's mind was in turmoil, his consciousness almost torn apart by the two imagined phantoms and the terrifying threat that was right next to him.

But at one moment, Gu Qing's words suddenly popped into his mind...

"There's no need to consciously visualize it; it will happen naturally."

Naturally...

natural!

Human beings have never fully explored and utilized the mysteries of the physical body!

Even a being as powerful as the Celestial Realm only utilizes 50% of their life force!

The only exception to those who can utilize their life force to 100% are those who have comprehended the power of the mind and entered the realm of legend.

Only legends dare to claim absolute dominance, possessing perfect control over themselves!
He's not a legend!
They also failed to comprehend the power of the mind!
So, if you want to unleash your power further...

To achieve a multi-faceted evolution of one's spiritual state...

There is only one way!
trust!

Trust yourself, not others!

Believe in your own strength!
There's no need to consciously think about whether you can do it!

But...

Follow your instincts, trust yourself, and you can do it!
"Boom!"

The next moment, a brand new power seemed to emerge in Ji Fuyou's spiritual world.

A sort of……

It is a power that does not originate from control or grasp, but rather from complete abandonment and trust!

This power of trust reshaped the two illusory figures, Lieyang and Tianlong, in an incredible way.

The sun rises in the east!

A dragon soars into the sky!

The two coexist in Ji Fuyou's spiritual world in an incredibly harmonious and natural way, creating a perfect picture.

"Roar!"

Heavenly Dragon's Roar!

The red-blooded rooster, which had hesitated to attack immediately due to fear, was once again gripped by the shock and terror stemming from its life-or-death instinct.

but……

It was precisely because the Crimson Rooster was stunned by the previous two Heavenly Dragon Nine Sounds and fell into a state of "surprise and uncertainty" and did not counterattack immediately that Ji Fuyou was given a precious opportunity to multitask and construct multiple visualizations!
At the same time as the dragon roared, the blazing power of the sun was suddenly drawn out, transforming into an unprecedentedly intense flame. This flame was drawn by the Judgment Blade, which had been torn open with claw marks, and slashed into the life force field of the crimson rooster.

"Oh!"

Like a heavy artillery bombardment, the shockwave once again exploded outwards from the core of the collision between the battle blades and the life force field.

Compared to the previous two attacks, this time, it still failed to break the red rooster's life force field.

but……

The unprecedented explosive power of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique caused the life force field of the crimson rooster to stagnate slightly.

The next moment, the unrestrained Blazing Sun Sword Technique was once again bound by an invisible force, transforming into an indestructible Sun-Chasing Sword Qi that pierced down.

The slightly stagnant life force field was no longer able to block the sharpness of this sword energy...

There were absolutely no surprises!
The crimson rooster, already in a state of fear and shock, didn't even have time to struggle out of it before its massive head was blown apart!
"laugh!"

Blood spurts.

The hurricane's power that had permeated the battlefield instantly dissipated and vanished.

The small, crimson rooster, less than a meter long, collapsed.

"call!"

Ji Fuyou emerged from the mental multi-state that he had forcibly entered through extreme pressure, and an unprecedented mental exhaustion surged into his heart, making him wish he could fall asleep on the spot.

he knows!
This is the price he paid for taking such a risky gamble!
However, he endured his near-fainting state and quickly collected the blood from the crimson rooster.

At the same time, he waved to the crowd who were undoubtedly observing the battlefield.

However, just as he beckoned the six people over, he paused slightly, and then disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"This is... authority!?"
