Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 385 Slaying the Dragon
Upon seeing the figure blocking his way, the seventh-level Martial Saint's pupils contracted.

However, his running figure did not stop at all, but instead accelerated further.

When the distance between them was instantly stretched to just a few dozen meters, a greatsword suddenly appeared in his hand!
A two-handed greatsword with a style similar to a horse-slaying sword, over 1.6 meters long, but with a double-edged blade.

The greatsword appeared suddenly, slashing down from mid-air and completely covering Ji Fuyou's figure.

As the sword struck, the rolling mist seemed to be forcibly shattered by a force compressed to its limit.

Before the sword even arrived, the sword energy contained within its blade had already extended ten meters, crashing down with a deafening roar.

That overwhelming power gave Ji Fuyou the feeling of facing the Blazing Sun Sword Technique head-on.

Perhaps its explosive power cannot truly reach the level of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, but the sword aura that spreads for ten meters is far beyond what the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, which can only be used for close-range bursts, can match!
Fortunately, Ji Fuyou was prepared.

Almost at the same moment the sword struck down, a phantom image of a celestial dragon appeared above him.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a soul-shaking roar that made living beings tremble, the seventh-rank man wielding the sword widened his eyes, and the power of his thunderous sword strike plummeted.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ji Fuyou flashed away from the sword energy. The blazing sunlight had already been visualized and condensed in his spiritual world, and as he stepped forward, it covered the body of the seventh-level Martial Saint.

It seems that he possessed a powerful inheritance that granted him strong resistance to negative status effects, such as the True Body of a Hegemon, or perhaps it was the life potential of this seventh-tier Martial Saint that was awakened during a life-or-death situation.

Just as the Blazing Sun Sword Technique was about to strike his body, he suddenly let out a fierce roar, managing to break free from the shock of the Heavenly Dragon Nine Sounds.

Then, a faint white aura, visible to the naked eye, appeared on the surface of his body.

The protective energy transformed into a shield, standing firm against the blazing, dazzling Sun Sword Technique.

This is……

Protective Shield!

"Oh!"

The next second, the protective energy exploded!

This protective shield, so powerful that it could almost ignore the full force of a sixth-tier Martial Saint's attack, shattered after only a moment under the explosive power of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, which far surpassed any skill or secret technique.

Countless shattered energies and scattered rays of sunlight continuously scorched the earth.

but……

Although the protective shield was shattered, it ultimately bought the seventh-tier Martial Saint some precious time, allowing him to hold his sword in front of him at a crucial moment and block the advancing blade light.

"boom!"

Sparks and fire flew everywhere.

The moment the Judgment Blade clashed with the greatsword, visible sparks flew out.

Among them, the Judgment Blade even had a clearly visible nick!

This shows the quality of this greatsword...

Even more so than the Judgment Blade!

Ji Fuyou glanced at the sword and quickly discerned something from its color and material!
"This is... Dragon Crystal!? Dragon Crystal, the perfect material for forging the Dragon Slayer Sword!?"

No wonder this seventh-tier Martial Saint was able to react despite being shocked by the Nine Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon. Wielding such a weapon grants significant immunity to all "dragon" type injuries and fears!
but……

Although he recognized the material used in the greatsword, Ji Fuyou's hands moved swiftly.

The scattered flames were re-bound, transforming into dazzling and violent sun-chasing sword energy, which once again pierced down towards the body of the seventh-tier Martial Saint.

The seventh-tier Martial Saint pushed his life force field to its limit, and with his equally high-quality armor, he managed to withstand the bombardment of the Sun Chasing Sword Qi.

In the past, Ji Fuyou's offensive would probably have come to an end at this point.

However, after his spiritual realm broke through to the multi-state, he was given a faster attack frequency.

As this seventh-tier Martial Saint was forced back by the Sun-Chasing Sword Qi, barely managing to withstand it only thanks to his life force field and the exceptional quality of his armor, a new wave of blazing sun rose once more from Ji Fuyou's spiritual world.

"I'd like to see how many cuts you can withstand!"

After speaking, he pursued and entangled the opponent with Crescent Moon Blade Qi and Innate Armor-Piercing Sword Qi, and then a new round of Blazing Sun Sword Technique was formed...

"Oh!"

This time, without his protective shield to block the fatal blow of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique, the seventh-level Martial Saint was unable to contend with it using only his several-meter-long pure white sword energy.

Amidst the bursts of flames, the Blazing Sun Sword Technique directly shattered his pure white sword aura, its remaining force striking his life force field.

As his life force field trembled, the dissipated flames were re-bound into the Sun-Chasing Sword Qi, which further penetrated and blasted away!

This round of attacks...

He still held on.

Despite paying the price of having his armor torn, he still managed to avoid being pierced by the Sun Chasing Sword Qi.

pity……

If the first round doesn't work, there's always a second round!
If the second round doesn't work, there's always a third!
He was clearly at a disadvantage and had no room to catch his breath.

At this moment, if another seventh-level Martial Saint had helped him hold off Ji Fuyou for even a moment, he would have been able to catch his breath.

Even if we don't fight back, at least by abandoning our teammates, we have a chance to escape or retreat.

But now, he was the only one facing Ji Fuyou directly. "*!"

As Ji Fuyou's third round of Blazing Sun Sword Technique combined with Chasing Sun Sword Qi completely shattered his life force field, he let out a desperate roar, and his body...

Completely swallowed up.

Turn to ashes.

Almost at the same time that his body was reduced to ashes, not only did three more nicks appear on the Judgment Blade in Ji Fuyou's hand, but visible cracks also appeared.

But instead of feeling upset, he turned his gaze to the greatsword with a look of surprise.

"What a sword!"

He quickly discarded his knife and picked up the greatsword from the seventh-level Martial Saint's hand.

Dragon crystal is the most precious material from a dragon.

Using dragon crystal as a material basically requires slaying a dragon.

Because this weapon is equivalent to the life of a dragon, it is often called the Dragon Slayer Sword, Dragon Killing Sword, or Dragon Cutter Sword!

Although the greatsword before him was also crafted by a master swordsmith, it did not fully unleash the true power of the dragon crystal.

Even so, the Dragon Crystal's inherent properties nearly shattered Ji Fuyou's Judgment Blade.

This shows that the finished Dragon Slayer Sword is of a much higher quality than the Judgment Blade.

"In the weapon-forging inheritance I received, above the Judgment Battle Blade is the Dragon Fang Blade, forged from dragon fangs; above that is the Wrathful Dragon Halberd, forged from dragon horns; and only after that is the Dragon Slayer Sword... The power of such a divine weapon as the Dragon Slayer Sword is second only to the Three Sacred Artifacts in that civilization!"

Ji Fuyou brandished the greatsword in his hand for a while, then quickly turned his gaze to the other beings in this civilization.

then……

He charged forward with his sword, instantly plunging into the crowd of people in this civilized society and wreaking havoc.

However, these civilized people had clearly realized Ji Fuyou's invincible power, and they scattered in all directions.

This actually increased the difficulty of killing Ji Fuyou considerably.

But after he had killed more than ten people, he saw something out of the corner of his eye.

While Ji Fuyou was chasing others, a sixth-level Martial Saint risked great danger to return and went straight to the corpse of the seventh-level Martial Saint, immediately taking off his belt.

After obtaining the belt, he did not hesitate to use forbidden techniques, his whole body flashing with blood light, and ran wildly to escape the hall at full speed.

This scene……

"That belt?"

Ji Fuyou quickly realized something.

The seventh-level Martial Saint had not carried the greatsword on his back before; it only appeared in his hand when the two clashed.

This anomaly...

"A spatial belt!?"

Space treasure!

Only those Heavenly Realm experts who possess the authority of the void and have cultivated an absolute domain can create production.

What is absolute territory?!
Only by cultivating the power of the mind can one hope to push the utilization rate of life force to 100%, thus achieving the so-called absolute domain and perfect control over one's own power!
For such people, the door to legend has almost been fully opened. They only need to make up for their shortcomings in terms of energy and spirit, and they can naturally step into the realm of legend!
Calling him a near-legendary figure wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Let alone the civilizations that Ji Fuyou has come into contact with, even the strongest civilization he has indirectly come into contact with—the Demon Dragon Clan—it is unknown whether they have such powerful figures.

But now, in the first round of the Heavenly Ranking War, he has actually encountered someone who possesses a spatial treasure!?
In an instant, Ji Fuyou could no longer care about chasing after the others. He turned around quickly and headed straight for the sixth-level Martial Saint.

Although the sixth-level Martial Saint immediately used a forbidden technique that would deplete his life force to maximize his speed upon obtaining the spatial belt, the significant difference in their cultivation levels and physical strength still caused the distance between them to continue to shrink.

When the distance between them was reduced to less than 100 meters, Ji Fuyou once again visualized the blazing sun. Finally, an incomparably powerful Sun Chasing Sword Qi tore through the void and instantly pierced through the body of the sixth-level Martial Saint, burning him to death on the spot.

After shooting down this sixth-tier Martial Saint, Ji Fuyou leaped to the side of his corpse, picked up the belt, and scanned it intently...

"It really is a spatial belt!"

Ji Fuyou looked pleasantly surprised.

The space inside isn't very large, only eight to nine cubic meters.

But it's incredibly convenient for storing everyday items.

Moreover, the Space Belt is a treasure crafted by those who wield absolute power over the void by compressing space.

This treasure will be of great benefit to him in exploring the mysteries of the Void Authority, comprehending the application of power in the Absolute Domain, and even in researching power at this level.

Just like a civilization obtaining a powerful material, even if it cannot produce it at present, it can still achieve a great leap in technology through the study of this material in the future.

"A set of materials for the Dragon Slayer Sword and a spatial belt—these two treasures alone make this Heavenly Ranking War a truly fruitful one."

Ji Fuyou packed his things away, quickly turned around, and headed back towards the main hall.

In order to hunt down this sixth-level Martial Saint, he was now several kilometers away from the main hall.

Over there, there was a Mayan temple master at the peak of the seventh rank, a newly promoted seventh-rank alien, as well as a considerable number of fifth and sixth-rank alien experts and Mayan commanders.

"It's time to end the first round of the Heavenly Ranking War."
