Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 402 Infiltration
"It's really... incredible..."

Wu Sheng and Wu Rendi, who were standing to the side, stared wide-eyed in the direction from which Ji Fuyou's voice came.

They even activated their divine senses, scanning that area repeatedly.

but……

No.

That area seemed to have nothing at all.

They couldn't see it with their eyes, nor could they scan it with their divine sense. Even with the keen perception of a martial saint, they couldn't capture any information about that area.

This includes the heat signals emanating from him that are distinct from the outside.

Clearly, he constructed a special area that absorbed and blocked detection from all wavebands.

Even the mental fluctuations, internal sounds, and body temperature that naturally emanate from intelligent life are blocked by this area to prevent them from overflowing.

“A spiritual master can refine microscopic particles to create effects such as refraction and distortion, but achieving this is extremely difficult. He Jinglan once conducted an experiment to construct a curvature barrier that could refract laser light, which took at least five or six minutes and could not be easily moved. Once the position was changed, the barrier would have to be modified and adjusted again, making it completely useless…”

Zhao Changkong took a deep breath: "But President Ji, he has not only built a barrier that can refract light, but also absorb, distort, and shield any electromagnetic signals. With this ability, he is invisible to the entire Mechanical God Cult. Unless someone in the Mechanical God Cult has reached this level of mental power, it is impossible for them to detect his existence."

"This is an eye-opener. It's the first time I've realized that cultivators can use so many different methods."

Wu Sheng also said something.

"The president's spiritual realm is much higher than ours, which is why he can do this... Hmm, it should be the wonder of divine sense mentioned in the classics. If we can continue to grow in the future, one day we will also be able to cultivate divine sense and naturally achieve this."

Wu Rendi sighed as he spoke: "When I first learned about the technological power of the Cult of the Machine God, I was once in despair, thinking that it was beyond the reach of our Red Star. Even though we belong to the victorious civilization, we have no way to deal with them. But now, after witnessing the incredible methods of the guild leader, I have to admit that I was naive."

Zhao Changkong glanced deeply in the direction where Ji Fuyou had disappeared, a hint of envy in his eyes.

More than anything, there was a profound realization that the extraordinary era had truly arrived.

He knew that a very small number of people with dark hearts believed that no matter how strong a cultivator was, they could not be stronger than a nuclear bomb. If hundreds or thousands of nuclear bombs were launched at the same time, no matter if you were at the seventh or eighth level, you would only have one way out: death.

However, not everyone is a madman who wants to destroy the world. The current situation leaves no room for their ideas to take root, so they can only bury these thoughts in their hearts.

But now...

After witnessing such methods firsthand, I wonder if they would still dare to have such thoughts.

Nuclear bomb?

It was shut down or even destroyed before it could be launched.

Even if it's launched...

If fumaroles can change all their wavebands, is there no electromagnetic shock method that can destroy the detonation unit of a nuclear warhead from 100 kilometers away?

Using a nuclear bomb to take Ji Fuyou down with him is a complete joke.

"A world beyond the ordinary."

Zhao Changkong took a deep breath and said to the two of them, "Alright, let's go. We'll leave the rest of the work here to Chairman Ji."

……

Zhao Changkong and his two companions left quickly.

Shortly after they left, a large transport plane capable of vertical takeoff and landing appeared in the misty region carrying thousands of war knights.

The leader was a towering figure, standing at least three meters tall.

They had clearly learned of the deaths of the 104 war knights through some means.

Upon arrival, they maintained sufficient vigilance and quickly launched a thorough search of the area.

However, Ji Fuyou had already gone to the Church of the Mechanical God, and Zhao Changkong and the others had returned to the Mayan temple, so their efforts were destined to be in vain.

……

Ji Fuyou continued on his way, simultaneously sensing the power of the void and the power of destruction.

"It's still blurry! But... it's usable enough!"

He said it to himself.

During this time, he carefully consulted Gu Qing about why he could use the power of authority outside the fog.

The final conclusion...

Practice more.

After all, although Red Star appears to be free of mist and the power of that great being, the existence of numerous forbidden areas has actually resulted in a mist concentration of around 0.1%.

This can be seen from the significant increase in the failure rate of many precision instruments in the past six months.

Although it's only 0.1%, it's not zero.

Furthermore, Ji Fuyou has now reached the second level or higher in both the Void Authority and the Destruction Authority, and the Void God Realm has specifically allocated considerable resources to analyze the use of these two powers...

Even outside the fog, he could still subtly wield a trace of the mysteries of power.

It's just that sensing the power of authority takes quite a while.

"Safe and sound."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

As they moved further away from the misty land, Ji Fuyou began to observe the environment along the way.

What he saw was not a picturesque landscape, but rather barren wastelands and deserts everywhere.

And a large number of remaining mine shafts and bomb craters.

environment……

It's definitely not good.

It even has a post-apocalyptic wasteland style.

This surprised him quite a bit.

It is truly puzzling that a world with such advanced technology cannot even manage planetary environmental issues.

"In a place like this, even basic survival would be extremely difficult."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

His figure traversed this desolate land for over a hundred kilometers before the environment finally began to improve.

You can see some slightly withered and yellowed plants and trees.

However, before he could even wonder why the vegetation and trees were so sparse here, a billowing sandstorm swept in from the horizon.

Okay, we've found the reason. "The outside temperature right now... should be around 55 degrees Celsius... high temperature plus a storm..."

Ji Fuyou frowned slightly, but he didn't offer any opinion on this kind of alien planet and continued on his way.

After traveling another hundred kilometers, the trees and vegetation gradually increased. With his divine sense, he could see a super-large city in the center of a large basin sixty kilometers away.

Yes, a super-large city!

The diameter of the entire city is probably no less than two or three hundred kilometers!
From the low-lying shantytowns on the outskirts, to the grid-like buildings further in, and then to the towering steel jungle, the layers are clearly defined.

This is a megacity that could probably accommodate hundreds of millions, or even millions, of people.

The large population has led to extremely dense housing in the city, with towering skyscrapers reaching into the sky, seemingly trying to rival the heavens in height.

Countless aircraft constantly shuttle through the steel jungle.

Furthermore, a large number of rail trains travel between the sky, the ground, and the surface of the transportation system, transporting countless people between their workplaces and residences.

The entire city was filled with a repressive, crowded, and dark atmosphere.

But the neon lights and virtual light and shadow on the building fill every gap, illuminating the city brightly.

However, when Ji Fuyou used his Mind's Eye to peer into the entire city, the area at the very heart of the city was a refreshing sight.

A tall tower!
A tower with a foundation so massive it's measured in kilometers!
As the view of the floating creatures shifts upwards...

A floating city with a diameter of no less than ten kilometers, supported by a tall tower, suddenly appears before your eyes.

Mountains, rivers, grasslands, forests...

Each frame, every second, could be displayed on Akasaka and become a tourist attraction...

The same meticulously retouched and color-corrected scenes of the scenic area were presented to Ji Fuyou one by one.

This area is completely different from the oppressive and crowded steel jungles around it; not only is the environment beautiful, but it also feels very spacious.

The number of living beings living there is very small.

Over ten kilometers and hundreds of square kilometers, houses are extremely rare.

Apart from a temple at the very center, the large buildings consist of only a few steel-style halls; the rest are all villas and manors.

It covers an area of ​​over 100 square kilometers, and the total population is estimated to be no more than 50,000.

Such a city...

"The difference between the two is not as great as heaven and hell, but it is not far off."

Ji Fuyou glanced at it.

According to his understanding, there are dozens of similar cities in the world.

Ji Fuyou did not enter the city, but went straight to the Church of the Machine God.

The entire Mechanicus cult maintains extremely strict control over the world.

Even within the cult itself, there is a strict hierarchy.

Without reaching a certain level, one cannot access higher-level information.

Wars like the Heavenly Ranking Wars are matters of life and death for civilizations, but ordinary people have no right to even get involved.

Even if someone were to somehow obtain the relevant information, the cult would likely execute all those who knew in order to maintain secrecy.

So much so that the people at the bottom of this civilization are completely unaware that they are about to face an unprecedented and devastating catastrophe.

……

Ji Fuyou completed the crossing of 2,000 kilometers in one day.

Along the way, Ji Fuyou had seen many of this magnificent and diverse city clusters, but the Vatican, where the headquarters of the Cult of the Machine God was located, still inspired genuine awe.

This is a city with a two-story structure.

There are three towering structures here that extend directly from the ground to the sky.

They represent the three major organizations of the Mechanicus.

These include the Papal Palace, the Knights Order, and the Academy of Sciences and Technologies.

If you want to collect treasures, the Papal Palace is the best place to go.

With its powerful military strength, this civilization must have killed many top-tier monsters that emerged from the mist.

It's even possible to destroy both the fog and the monsters using space-based weapons.

This can be inferred from the fact that when he arrived, he saw many astonishingly large craters that seemed to have been left in the last two years.

Therefore, the tower belonging to the Papal Palace must contain golden source crystals.

However, this time the floating creatures are clearly after the technology and biotechnology of this civilization, so the tower where the science and technology institute is located is naturally the first choice.

He immediately slipped into the base of the tower.

Here, countless elevators are in operation, transporting all sorts of precious supplies to the high tower.

Ji Fuyou casually boarded a vehicle transporting supplies and went directly inside the tower.

At this moment, he not only achieved visual invisibility, but he was also impossible to be detected by any detection equipment.

Upon arriving at the tower, he headed straight for the complex of buildings housing the science and technology institute.

Unbound by the mist, the powerful divine sense swept across the sky above the tower and quickly located the person in the Institute of Technology who possessed the highest spiritual power and appeared to be of the highest status.

Then, he passed through multiple layers of security, and even followed staff through several security doors that required numerous password verifications, before arriving at an office with a metallic style.

At this moment, the old man, who appeared to be in human form but had an extra mechanical arm and whose eyes had been modified into mechanical pupils, had just finished a task and seemed to be taking a break.

And it was during this rest that he seemed to drift into some kind of strange state.

"I need to re-verify the 9 chip technology, as this is related to the increasingly severe war situation ahead."

The chief technology officer immediately stood up and quickly issued an order.

Files resembling hard drives were quickly delivered to him by his students and assistants.

Ji Fuyou quietly approached him and glanced at him.

This is exactly the chip technology he needs.

It is the latest 9th generation chip technology.

Not only can it be harmlessly implanted into the human body to control others, but it can also subtly influence the human body's behavior patterns.
