Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 381 Life and Death
In the Heavenly Ranking War, the fall of all participants signifies the defeat of this civilization.

We await the fate of this civilization...

Their only fate was near extinction.

Like now...

Ji Fuyou only killed a few dozen members of the Heavenly Ranking of a civilization.

But to some extent, it also indirectly destroyed a civilization.

Great Celestial Position (208/1000)

……

"To prevent these civilizations from becoming a threat, they must be destroyed the moment they are discovered!"

Ji Fuyou wiped the blood off the blade.

The Battle of the Heavenly Rankings!

This is like raising a poisonous insect!
They raised the strongest and most ruthless Gu King to inherit his mantle.

but……

It's also possible that this is revealing the essence of the universe.

The essence of the universe is survival of the fittest, with absolutely no room for sympathy.

……

"It seems the captain has surged ahead by a wide margin?"

Behind him, Fang Qiyun looked at the points ranking given by the Heavenly Ranking List.

Ji Fuyou's name is mentioned far above.

It surpasses the second place by several times.

The others nodded emphatically as well.

"The captain seems very strong?"

"We still need to be careful. According to the Demon Suppression Valley, the first round of the Heavenly Ranking War requires at least one team of sixth-level Martial Saints to pass. This shows that our competitors all have at least six sixth-level Martial Saints! We don't even have any sixth-level Martial Saints yet, so we need to be extra vigilant. If we notice anything, we should notify the captain to come to our aid immediately."

"At least six sixth-tier individuals... I'm afraid even all the sixth-tier individuals on Red Star combined wouldn't be enough to form a team."

These people are all under immense psychological pressure.

Even Fang Qiyun was no exception...

She had heard Ji Fuyou recount the story of the Mayan temple.

Inside this temple, there exists a monster with seventh-tier combat power.

To deal with this kind of monster, a team of Tier 6 is only the most basic guarantee.

If the other side is surrounded by numerous Mayan guards and commanders...

One team of Tier 6 isn't enough!

It seems that, like dealing with the Fiery Cult Leader, a large number of master-level martial artists would need to cooperate.

With this in mind, she focused her attention to the extreme, constantly keeping an eye on the slightest movement around her.

As for other civilizations, most of them are probably just cannon fodder...

She didn't even consider that possibility.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Gu Qing, who was responsible for ensuring the safety of the team, seemed to sense something.

Something has crept in.

only……

Isn't it a bit too weak?

Only at the fifth rank?
Or perhaps the expert didn't follow?

He hesitated for a moment, and after realizing that the lurker seemed to have "seen" their formation, he retreated again.

Gu Qing reminded Fang Qiyun and the others to stay put and maintain their defensive formation, while he followed the lurking figure.

The power of illusory authority surrounded his body, making him almost disappear from everyone's perception.

Even the Shang Dynasty, and even Fang Qiyun and others, would instinctively overlook Gu Qing, a seventh-rank warrior, when considering their own combat strength.

In this situation, he quickly followed the infiltrator to a group...

Beside the fish-man alien race.

The merman who had just returned from his scouting mission gave a very excited report.

As it finished its report, the leading merman king laughed loudly: "Good! Defeating these alien races is the best way for us to grow rapidly! Just like the fox clan we defeated earlier! These alien races and the fox clan are evenly matched in strength, their fate is already sealed!"

"We probed the fox clan for too long just now, which made them wary. When the situation turned unfavorable, they scattered in all directions. This time, we must be prepared to ensure that they are all wiped out. When that happens, our king will surely be able to advance to the Great Celestial Rank, and may even be able to use the power of the Great Celestial Rank to go even further!"

Another burly merman beside him was flattering him.

The other fishmen also praised it.

These exchanges...

Gu Qing heard it clearly.

It's not so much that they listened, but rather that their emotional fluctuations caused their mental energy to overflow, which Gu Qing captured and analyzed.

However, he didn't understand.

Why is this merfolk race so weak that they can't even muster a single Tier 6 squad...?

To be precise, there is only one Tier 6 Murloc King.

With such weak strength, how could they be so confident as to take the initiative to hunt down different groups of people?

His spiritual power probed repeatedly.

No matter how I look at it, I can't find a second sixth-order entity.

"Could it be that someone in this group also possesses the power of nothingness? And that their understanding of the power of nothingness is even more profound than mine?"

Gu Qing felt apprehensive.

Just to be on the safe side, let's call on Ji Fuyou, and the two of them can work together to see if they can deal with this group.

He immediately contacted Ji Fuyou through the Heavenly Horn.

……

"You've discovered a powerful alien race? Even you're not confident? You can't gauge the strength of this race?"

Ji Fuyou, who was scouting ahead, received a message from Gu Qing through the Heavenly Horn and his expression immediately changed.

Gu Qing is a seventh-level expert!

He couldn't even gauge their level, so they must be at least an eighth-level cultivator! Has a competitor of that caliber emerged so quickly?
"Hurry! They've already moved, and they're moving very fast... They're not actually very fast, but they're all radiating murderous intent; they're clearly here to wipe us out."

Gu Qing's mental fluctuations flickered within the Heavenly Horn: "It's too late... I'll have our people retreat in your direction right now?"

"Okay, I'll be right there..."

Ji Fuyou responded and quickly returned.

But after taking only a few steps, he gleaned something from Gu Qing's descriptions of "very fast" and "not fast": "Just how strong are those alien races?"

"On the surface, there's only one sixth-tier and six fifth-tier, but they're too confident! Full of fighting spirit! And they say they previously defeated a civilization! Therefore, I boldly guess that this is just their visible strength, intended as bait. They must be hiding a top-tier expert that I can't even detect!"

Gu Qing's mental state was filled with caution.

But this description falls into Ji Fuyou's perception...

He even slowed down his pace.

Is it possible that... their confidence stems from their ignorance?

"Ok?"

"These 108 civilizations were not as powerful as we imagined."

Ji Fuyou quickly explained: "After contacting the forces of Rainbow Sun City, Demon Suppression Valley, and Profound Moon Island, how many sixth-tier Martial Saints did we ultimately possess? We could count them on two hands. And even then, they were divided into three civilizations. The other civilizations..."

He tried his best to reduce the psychological pressure on everyone: "They may not even have the chance to encounter a civilization of losers. With normal cultivation, they can reach the fifth level ten or eight times, and at most one or two sixth levels. Isn't that their limit?"

"This... doesn't make sense. If all civilizations only have one or two Tier 6 beings, how will they ultimately fight against the monster in the Mayan temple?"

Gu Qing was somewhat puzzled.

"Just because we can't deal with it now doesn't mean we won't be able to deal with it in a few days, or even a few hours."

Ji Fuyou said in a deep voice: "With 108 civilizations, there are theoretically more than 1 shares of Heavenly Rank, which can create at least 100 Great Heavenly Rank beings and more than 10 Great Heavenly Rank beings. Is it difficult for those who break through to the sixth rank by borrowing the power of the middle Heavenly Rank, and then break through to the seventh rank with the power of the Great Heavenly Rank, and finally defeat the temple master of the Mayan Temple?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing also fell into a deep thought.

"When we encounter alien races, we must kill them! This is not only so that our Great Shang can stand out, but also... to prevent other civilizations from using their Celestial Rank to create seventh- or even eighth-rank powerhouses!"

Ji Fuyou said in a deep voice.

"I understand……"

Gu Qing replied, "I'll give it a try."

"it is good."

Ji Fuyou replied.

At this moment, he finally understood why, despite being participants in the fifth round of the Heavenly Ranking War, the final strength gap between the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Demon Dragon Clan was so vast.

One of them has already reached the legendary realm.

One has fallen so low that it now relies on a single eleventh-rank high priest to maintain its facade.

The Heavenly Ranking War...

The losers lost all their elites and suffered a severe blow.

The victors, however, can draw strength and nourishment from the defeated to climb to new heights.

With this ebb and flow, a single war can widen the gap in strength between two civilizations by almost two levels, or nearly a hundred times.

Soon, news came from Gu Qing's side.

"Crisis averted."

"So...the strength of those merfolk..."

"The vegetables are so delicious they're practically picking their toes."

"We must continue to maintain the necessary vigilance."

Ji Fuyou replied with a smile.

He no longer returned, but instead began searching for participants from other civilizations.

Through the virtual divine realm, he could effectively deduce the map of the second level of the Mayan civilization and explore the palaces one by one with great efficiency.

During this time, he will inevitably encounter various civilizations.

And these civilizations...

Some are strong, some are weak.

Moreover, as time went on, he could clearly sense the growing strength of these civilizations.

……

Time flies, and most of the day has passed in the blink of an eye.

The participants of the 8th civilization were eliminated under Ji Fuyou's sword flash.

As he continued his circular exploration of other civilizations, the ninth civilization came into his field of observation.

However, as he carefully observed this civilization, a strange thing appeared in his perception.

root!

A small section of tree root sprouted from a crack in the wall!

The temple is located underground, so the presence of tree roots is not unusual.

But the problem is...

The temple was built with very sturdy materials that could not be penetrated by tree roots.

He observed from afar, and even tried to invoke the law of destruction to destroy that section of tree.

really……

Failed!
They are intelligent beings!
Intelligent beings have also set their sights on Civilization 9.

Civilization No. 9 is not weak; it boasts four sixth-tier Martial Saints, which is why they've set their sights on this civilization...

Ji Fuyou used his mental energy field to conceal his aura, slightly bypassed Civilization 9, and probed in the direction he sensed.

Before long, a relatively slow-moving tree-man civilization appeared in his perception.

This civilization has a small population of only 27, but among them is a leader...

"Seventh level!"

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

Although it seemed to have only recently broken through and was not yet able to control its aura well, Ji Fuyou could see at a glance the fluctuations caused by the friction between its life force field and the external force field.

but……

The fact that a seventh-tier rank appeared so quickly still greatly surprised him.

This means that the intensity of the war is escalating at an extremely rapid pace.
