Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 405 Beheading
"Boom!"

The sight of a towering structure, over ten kilometers high and with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, falling from the sky is undeniably awe-inspiring.

This disaster was particularly suffocating and devastating for the lives of the people in the cities below.

Every falling boulder can destroy a tall building.

Every collapsed block of earth could bury an entire neighborhood.

Not to mention that the tower also contains a large amount of metal structure.

The collapse of such a tower would have a destructive impact on the entire Vatican city area that surpasses that of a nuclear strike.

Countless screams and wails filled the High Tower, including every corner beneath it.

At this moment, war seemed to finally take on a concrete form.

Ji Fuyou witnessed this scene.

But he quickly leaped up and headed straight for the fallen tower.

As he leaped into the air, a flying machine under his control swiftly flew over, caught him steadily, and carried him at full speed to the highest tower eighty kilometers away.

As the aircraft carried him toward the highest tower, countless defensive firepower also found a target and locked onto it, and immediately unleashed a barrage of fire.

While some artillery fire was aimed at him and continuously bombarding him, some artillery fire controlled by Ji Fuyou was also directed to intercept the missiles and shells.

Numerous drones and aircraft flew in from all directions, surrounding him like a guard, attacking all attackers while also acting as a defensive shield.

Brilliant flames shone continuously around him.

The violent explosion followed his trajectory with a deafening roar.

However, this process did not last long. Ji Fuyou's aircraft was eventually hit by a shell and exploded into a cluster of brilliant fireworks.

Ji Fuyou jumped onto another aircraft before it was destroyed.

As for the debris and flames from the exploding aircraft, they were deflected elsewhere by the deflecting force field before they could even get close to his body, or they crashed to the ground.

Eighty kilometers were quickly covered by Ji Fuyou.

At this moment, the entire tower had collapsed and crashed to the ground, with flames and smoke engulfing the earth.

In countless places, flames can be seen burning fiercely.

A cacophony of shouts filled the air.

However, Ji Fuyou's gaze was not on ordinary people, but rather he activated his divine sense and quickly searched the ruins created by the Supreme Tower.

Three kilometers, five kilometers, ten kilometers...

Soon, Ji Fuyou sensed something.

Almost at the same time he sensed the target, he saw a series of rumbling sounds coming from somewhere on the ground that had collapsed into ruins.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds and thousands of tons of rubble, soil, and building debris were pushed aside, and a spaceship, made of some unknown material and over a hundred meters long, was forcibly lifted from the ground, flew into the sky, and scattered a large amount of soil and dust, as if it was about to leave the area.

In Ji Fuyou's divine sense, several powerful auras were inside the spaceship.

With a thought, his divine sense invaded the spaceship. At the same time, the Void God Realm operated at high speed, matching and analyzing the structure of the spaceship's operating system, and intending to manipulate it.

However, when his divine sense entered the spaceship, a divine sense no weaker than that of a Saint-level being also erupted inside the spaceship!
This divine thought quickly compressed and expelled Ji Fuyou's divine thought.

Although Ji Fuyou, whose spiritual realm had reached multiple states and was even approaching the primordial divine state, could not be subdued for a short time, it severely interfered with his analysis and control of the spaceship.

Seeing that he couldn't control the spaceship for the time being and that it would soon escape, he decided not to waste any more time.

Suddenly, he leaped into the air from the aircraft, like a cannonball streaking across the void, shattering the sound barrier, and instantly landed above the spaceship several kilometers away.

It's unclear what material the spaceship is made of, but the impact of his supersonic jump onto it wasn't even enough to dent the top of the spaceship.

But that's not important!
Ji Fuyou pulled out the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

The blazing sun condenses from the spiritual world.

Immediately afterwards, the blazing sun erupted, and a sword aura containing terrifying penetrating power instantly slammed into the hundred-meter-long spaceship beneath their feet.

Under the bombardment of this sword energy, the sturdy surface and armor of the spaceship were torn apart with overwhelming force.

With a burst of fire, the spaceship, which had just taken off, was severely affected, becoming shaky and unable to rise any further.

Ji Fuyou stood outside the spaceship, watching helplessly as his sword failed to destroy it...

Then let's deliver another sword strike!
This time, he did not shoot out the Sun Chasing Sword Qi in a piercing manner.

Instead, he gripped the Dragon Slayer Sword and used it to control the fiery sword energy condensed from the Sun Chasing Sword Qi, slashing fiercely along the spot where the hole had been previously pierced.

"Zizi!"

Sparks flew everywhere!

Lightning flashed everywhere!

The entire spaceship was thus torn open by the Dragon Slayer Sword, leaving a gaping hole tens of meters long.

Furthermore, with Ji Fuyou delivering a few more sword strikes, the spaceship was clearly on the verge of falling apart.

At this moment, a Grand Master of the Templar Order inside the spaceship finally couldn't hold back any longer.

As one section of his armor was torn apart, he suddenly burst forth, unleashing a power that was among the best even for a sixth-tier Martial Saint, thanks to the high-tech armor he wore. His knight's sword, imbued with the power of thunder, pierced through the void and pointed directly at Ji Fuyou.

However, having cultivated multiple states, Ji Fuyou could easily multitask. Every move of everyone inside the spaceship was under his divine perception.

The moment the Grand Master of the Temple Knights leaped out, the sword energy on the Dragon Slayer Sword suddenly surged and bombarded the thunderous sword energy he unleashed.

Fire and lightning collided in the void, as if detonating a cannonball. The shockwave from the explosion sent the knight commander, who had leaped into the air, flying backwards into the spaceship and crashing heavily to the ground, bursting into visible flames.

By this time, the spaceship had been almost completely dismantled and was tilting as it hurtled toward the ground.

Upon seeing this, Ji Fuyou raised his Dragon-Slaying Sword high, and the power of heaven and earth resonated on his sword.

The overwhelming and powerful pressure caused the Pope and Cardinal, who were aware that the spaceship was about to crash, to show uncontrollable shock in their eyes.

"Harmony between humanity and nature! This is harmony between humanity and nature!"

"How could there be a cultivator at the peak of the Earth Realm!?"

“This guest from another world, please stop…we can talk…”

"Do you need the technology? We can give it to you... we just hope you'll leave now..."

At this moment, they wanted to talk.

They even learned to use polite language like "please".

Unfortunately, Ji Fuyou was too lazy to talk to them anymore.

He didn't even listen to what they were saying; he just thought they were making a lot of noise.

As the sword aura, condensed from the power of the Heaven-Opening Sword, descended, the high-ranking members of the Mechanical God Cult, whose strongest members were only at the sixth rank, felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them. The suffocating pressure made them feel like fish on a chopping board, and they could only watch helplessly as the sword struck down.

"No!"

Fear finally appeared on the faces of the pope and several cardinals.

From arrogance and anger to resentment, to shock, and finally to fear...

In just one day...

Do not!
In just over ten minutes, their emotions underwent a complete 180-degree shift.

Those who have always resided in the clouds, controlling the lives and deaths of billions of people, have also pondered how they might one day come to an end.

If they encounter a crisis they cannot overcome, how will they cope with it?

only……

When death truly came, they discovered that the other side would no longer even give them a chance to beg for mercy or negotiate.

The pope, who claimed to be the source of all machinery, stared wide-eyed: "I am... the Pope..."

"laugh!"

The next moment, their bodies were crushed into mist under the crushing force of the Heaven-Opening Sword and the power of the sword energy.

Even the modified mechanical products and electronic components on their bodies shattered and broke apart as if crushed by high pressure.

The sword energy, still surging with power, further impacted the spaceship's terrain, cleaving the already severely damaged and downward-falling vessel in mid-air.

"Boom!"

Amidst flames, flashes of light, roars, and thick smoke, the spaceship broke in two and finally crashed to the ground, kicking up a large amount of dust and mud.

"weak."

Ji Fuyou said something.

Of course, the Pope and several cardinals did possess some good qualities.

In particular, the bishop of the Furnace and Fireworks, relying on the power of a single gem, engaged in a battle of divine senses with Ji Fuyou.

Of course, Ji Fuyou did not know his name.

But this did not stop him from taking the gem, along with other treasures, as spoils of war.

"Just like the Great Shang Dynasty back then, the strongest figure in the Cult of the Machine God is not the Pope, but the captains of the nine great knight orders. However, they also know that the Heavenly Ranking War is a deadly threat, so those who went to participate in the Heavenly Ranking War were the lower-ranked members of the twelve Cardinal Bishops, as well as the six captains of the nine great knight orders..."

After all, the technology of the Mechanicus is too advanced.

If it weren't for Ji Fuyou possessing the Void God Realm, which allows him to easily infiltrate the Mechanical God Cult's various control centers and operating systems, and reverse-control their weapons of war, then it would have been someone else...

Let alone the sixth-rank knight commanders, even that cyborg who broke through to the seventh rank would only face certain death under the bombardment of various firepower.

Even a regular eighth-tier cultivator could be killed if the Mechanical God Cult was willing to pay the price and use more powerful weapons of war.

In this situation, having ability alone may not guarantee a high position.

"They've gotten quite into killing people, eliminating all the core members of the Holy See. Now we don't even know how to find the source crystals and other items stored by this civilization."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he glanced once more at the completely collapsed Supreme Tower…

Even if there were previous collections, treasures like Source Crystals would only be hidden in the Supreme Tower, but now the Supreme Tower has collapsed like this...

Even if he finds out where Yuanjing is, he might not be able to find it in a short time.

"Next, I believe someone will be willing to have a proper talk with me."
