Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 409 Statue
The civilization on Radiant Star is a wasteland civilization rebuilt after the war.

In the period following the war, humans, food, animals, and geology all underwent mutations due to radiation.

Although the cost of the mutation was 130 billion people, only 7 to 8 million survived, and of these 7 to 8 million, 2 to 3 million were not human and were driven to the wilderness to live a meager existence. Less than 5 million people actually lived in cities.

However, these 5 million people became quite powerful after the mutation.

Some people possess the strength of a bear, some have the claws of a wolf, and some even have the wings of an eagle, and so on.

Thanks to these "talented" advantages, there is almost no ordinary person in the entire Yaoxing.

Even the weakest among them possesses strength comparable to a first-tier player.

After White Dragon City was divided up, Maple Leaf City became the largest city on the Black Soil Plain, without exception, with a population of over 30!
Out of 30 people, more than 500 are at level four, which is a remarkably high percentage.

However, after learning about the disorder, chaos, and cruelty of this world from Tie Muxuan and others, he had no intention of engaging with or having a proper dialogue with the city.

With a few bursts of acceleration, he leaped into the air, falling like a shooting star into the depths of Maple Leaf City.

This high-profile intrusion immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the city guards.

Accompanied by a shout in a language that Ji Fuyou could not understand, more than a dozen humanoid creatures with fleshy wings, feathered wings, and thin wings took off at the same time, wielding weapons, and intercepted Ji Fuyou.

Moreover, they carried not only cold weapons, but also firearms.

Furthermore, the range of firearms is also extremely wide.

From muskets to rifles, they had it all.

These people shouted at him to stop in a language that Ji Fuyou couldn't understand, and when he ignored them, they simply opened fire.

With a flash of light, all the bullets were thrown away by the deflection field.

This level of attack gave Ji Fuyou, who had just returned from the Cult of Machines, a strong sense of unease.

Just like...

One second you're living in 2150, the next you've been transported to 1990.

As he soared through the sky, Ji Fuyou activated his life force field, creating a powerful pressure that almost enveloped the entire city lord's mansion.

Accompanying this was an all-pervasive and terrifying mental shock: "Lord of Maple Leaf City, come out and see me at once!"

The next moment, several auras also rushed in from the city lord's mansion.

They didn't immediately recognize Ji Fuyou's identity as an "alien".

After all, all living beings on the entire planet Yaoxing have become bizarre and grotesque under the radiation.

People like Ji Fuyou are considered to be of a more orthodox lineage.

Feeling the immense pressure of life force emanating from Ji Fuyou, the Maple Leaf City Lord, who possessed a sixth-level cultivation, changed his expression and hurriedly said, "Seven-Star Overlord!? You are City Lord Li of Vermilion Bird Holy City?"

Ji Fuyou had already activated the power of the Void God Realm to envelop his body.

As he spoke, information about the holy city was quickly gleaned from his dissipating mental fluctuations.

White Dragon and Vermilion Bird are the two strongest holy cities on the Eastern and Western continents of Shining Star.

In addition to its own population, each holy city also governs surrounding cities of all sizes, forming a sacred place.

Of course, due to its defeat in the Heavenly Ranking War, White Dragon City lost all its elites and has been divided and devoured by more than a dozen forces.

Vermilion Bird City is located far away on the Eastern Continent, separated not only by a sea but also by more than 1 kilometers in a straight line. Even though he, the city lord of Maple Leaf City, is considered one of the top figures in the Shining Star, he has only heard of Vermilion Bird City but has never seen it in person.

But that's not the point. The point is...

According to the mental fluctuations emanating from the Maple Leaf City Lord, Vermilion Bird City has actually participated in the Heavenly Ranking War!?
"That's right, both Vermilion Bird and White Dragon are at the seventh rank... which is what he called the Seven Star Overlord! It's only natural that Vermilion Bird City would be selected for the Heavenly Ranking War if White Dragon City was chosen."

While pondering, Ji Fuyou didn't explain his identity and went straight to the point: "Hand over all the supplies you obtained from White Dragon City, and you should know what I mean."

Upon hearing this question, the image of each item quickly came to mind for the Maple Leaf City Lord.

However, a glint flashed in his eyes: "When White Dragon City was breached, Maple Leaf City was a bit slow to enter and didn't get anything good..."

"Oh."

Ji Fuyou replied expressionlessly, "You didn't get anything, but you still got quite a lot. Tell me, what did you get? Where are those things?"

The city lord of Maple Leaf City was wary of the person before him, who possessed the strength of a seven-star overlord, and dared not contradict him. However, the items he mentioned were all insignificant.

What he didn't know was that under the shroud of the Void God Realm, when he lied, his scattered spiritual energy had already leaked all the true information to Ji Fuyou, so that Ji Fuyou could see clearly what benefits he had gained in White Dragon City.

Ji Fuyou asked questions for about ten minutes before adding, "Think carefully, is there anything else?"

"That's all. These are all I have. If the city lord needs them, I can give them all to you to take with you."

The Maple Leaf City Lord hurriedly replied.

Ji Fuyou collected his mental fluctuations, and when he realized that there were only a dozen or so valuable items coming and going in his mental fluctuations, he no longer wasted time and drew the Dragon Slayer Sword.

The power of heaven and earth was also stirred when he drew his sword.

In an instant, the already powerful pressure emanating from Ji Fuyou seemed to solidify, transforming into a cataclysmic natural disaster that surged down like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting.

The sudden change caused the Maple Leaf City Lord's expression to change drastically: "City Lord Li, why is this... wait, that's... the Dragon Slayer Sword!? The White Dragon City Lord and all his equipment were trapped in the Heavenly Ranking War... are you a cultivator from another civilization in the Heavenly Ranking War!?"

The moment he guessed Ji Fuyou's identity, this sixth-level Martial Saint's life force erupted. However, he dared not confront Ji Fuyou head-on, and instead fled for his life as fast as he could.

The opponent could even kill a seven-star overlord like the city lord of White Dragon City, let alone a six-star lord like him!?

pity……

The moment Ji Fuyou drew his sword, the fate of the Maple Leaf City Lord was already sealed.

As the Dragon Slayer Sword fell, the space behind him seemed to be condensed to its extreme.

Not only the space behind him, but even the air around him seemed to be solidified and pulled by an invisible force.

Just like how seawater flows towards the ocean before a tsunami arrives.

As the sword struck down, the power of heaven and earth converged on Ji Fuyou, also solidifying and binding the body of the Maple Leaf City Lord.

So when the sword, imbued with the power of heaven and earth, truly struck down, he realized in despair that his so-called desperate escape was utterly futile in escaping the space enveloped by the power of heaven and earth!
"No!"

In desperation, the Maple Leaf City Lord could only roar, "Inform everyone that the White Dragon City Heavenly Ranking War has been lost! The alien races have invaded..."

"Oh!"

This sixth-tier Martial Saint was directly crushed into a bloody mist by the sword energy condensed from the power of heaven and earth, without even leaving behind a complete last word.

The other fifth-tier martial saints who appeared at the same time saw that even their city lord could not withstand a single blow from Ji Fuyou, and they scattered like birds at top speed.

Ji Fuyou ignored this.

From the data he extracted from the scattered spirit of the Maple Leaf City Lord, he learned that these people did not possess any of the treasures of White Dragon City.

He took a single, seemingly effortless step and arrived directly at the core of the city lord's mansion.

A flurry of panic and screams erupted as servants and attendants scattered in all directions.

Ji Fuyou only glanced at them to see if they were carrying any treasures before leaving, and then paid them no further attention.

Upon arriving at the Maple Leaf City Lord's room, he scanned the area several times with his divine sense and quickly located a secret passage. He then entered a basement through the passage.

"The spatial belt is one of the top treasures here."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

Although there was no treasure like a spatial belt in Maple Leaf City, there was one thing that caught Ji Fuyou's attention.

He quickly entered the room, and finally, a gleaming golden statue came into view.

The moment he saw the statue, he felt an instinctive sense of submission, as if he wanted to worship it.

This familiar feeling...

"really."

Ji Fuyou immediately picked up the glittering golden statue and examined it closely.

"A celestial body!"

A hint of joy appeared in his eyes: "A powerful Celestial Realm expert, at least at the tenth rank, who has condensed a star, has presented the structure of his star in this statue, passing it down to future generations to guide them... This is a treasure more valuable than Celestial Realm texts!"

Analysis of the spirit of the Maple Leaf City Lord revealed that there are three such statues in total!

Of course, this does not mean that the civilization only had three level 10s.

There must be more than three or five civilizations that were able to survive the fourth round of the Heavenly Ranking War and make it to the fifth round before being defeated.

Let alone the tenth-order Heavenly Realm, there are probably more than one or two eleventh-order beings at the same level as the Holy Venerable of the Rainbow Sun Gate.

The fact that only three statues remain can only mean that three Heavenly Realm experts above the tenth rank had time to preserve this core inheritance.

Or perhaps the other statues were destroyed with the extinction of the civilization.

"We can do without other things, but we must get our hands on these three statues."

Ji Fuyou quickly put it into his spatial belt: "This kind of treasure, which is a replica of the structure of my own star, is passed down by a Celestial Realm expert of the tenth rank or above. It will bring immediate help to my star condensation."

The images he had gleaned from the mental fluctuations of the Maple Leaf City Lord flashed through his mind.

After they breached White Dragon City, one of the other two statues fell into the hands of the Lord of Green River City, while the other was taken away by the leader of the Dragon Roar Society.

"Qinghe City is a city conquered by Bailong City. Its city lord is also a sixth-level Martial Saint. On the surface, he submits to Bailong City, but after realizing that Bailong City's elite forces have been wiped out, he immediately jumps out to resist... The fact that these dozen or so forces were able to unite in just over two months is largely thanks to Qinghe City acting as the middleman."

Ji Fuyou strode forward, heading straight for Qinghe City, which was more than two thousand kilometers away from Maple Leaf City.

At the same time, he also activated the power of the Void God Realm to analyze the golden statue he had just acquired.

During this analytical process, his understanding of celestial bodies also rapidly improved.

If we were to establish a timeline for the deduction of celestial bodies...

After observing the Sacred Star, the progress is about 30%. Once the analysis of this golden statue is completed, the progress may reach 50%!

Once the other two statues are acquired, the deduction of the celestial bodies will be within reach.
