Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 418 Shape
"go!"

The Youzhao clan, who were still trying to rush to the aid of their three seats and a few members of the Illusion Clan, felt their souls nearly die the moment they saw this scene.

Without the slightest hesitation, they withdrew and retreated at top speed!

But Ji Fuyou clearly wouldn't let them leave unscathed.

With a turn of his body, he unleashed a burst of power from his feet, his entire body seemingly shattering a sonic boom as he chased after the nearest person.

The two, one running and the other fleeing, collided in an instant, like a missile hitting a fighter jet.

As the shockwave exploded, the figure that was running for its life seemed to be directly smashed into a bloody mist.

He then turned around and moved with a gaze that exceeded the limits of normal human vision.

One second they were here, the next they were hundreds of meters away.

Amidst a series of booming sounds and blasts of air in the void, the dozen or so figures that were fleeing in all directions were torn to shreds.

The aftershocks from the impact alone made the palace complex look as if it had been bombarded by a dozen cannonballs.

Countless precious items were damaged as a result.

It is unknown how many houses collapsed as a result.

A moment later, Ji Fuyou returned to the palace of some unknown prince, carrying two figures who were barely alive.

"What is the nature of the Illusion Clan? What is their social structure? What factions do they have, and who are their most powerful members?"

Ji Fuyou asked directly.

Upon inquiry, the Void God Realm was naturally activated, and more than 50 units of Void God Realm power were mobilized to envelop the two Illusion Clan members.

During this process, any mental fluctuations of the two Illusion Clan members will be captured and analyzed by the Void God Realm, thereby obtaining information leaked from their mental activities.

"Ha...you have no idea how big a mistake you've made!"

One of the two who were on the verge of death was You Zhao.

Despite being a prisoner, there was no fear of death in his eyes: "When the Third Seat chose to make peace with you, you did not stop, and you have already missed the last chance for peace. Just wait, the Chief will lead a large army to completely wipe out your entire world!"

Ji Fuyou's attention was not focused on his words themselves.

Instead, it uses the illusory divine realm to continuously analyze the information contained in the spiritual power he dissipates.

This information is very disorganized.

Sometimes it might just be a thought.

But in the face of the computing power of 50 units in the Realm of the Gods, it's like 50 people are observing his scattered thoughts.

Soon, these jumbled thoughts were organized into useful and understandable pieces of information.

"Ten seats? A Heavenly Ranking War produced three Extreme Heavenly Positions and three Eighth-Orders? Ha, their spiritual power only reached the Eighth-Order, plus the skills bestowed by the Heavenly Ranking, and they relied on the advantages of all sides to achieve Eighth-Order combat power... Hmm? The demon that the chief transformed into also had Eighth-Order strength? Not bad, equivalent to a martial artist and a spiritual eighth-order... Your life forms... Eh!?"

Ji Fuyou quickly "saw" some useful information.

Or rather, the information that interests him.

Fantasy clan!

This ethnic group is born with only ideology, not physical existence!

They need to depend on other species to survive.

In the process of survival, they will gradually learn all the abilities of these species, and then "transform" themselves into their appearance, taking their place.

When the mist invades, they abandon their original weak bodies and reside in the bodies of powerful monsters. After figuring out all the habits of those monsters, they eventually transform into monsters themselves.

Despite being transformed into demons, their powerful divine sense, coupled with the extensive knowledge they have accumulated through transforming into numerous beings throughout their long lives, often makes them even more powerful in their demonic forms than in their original demonic forms.

In the previous Heavenly Ranking War, their chief Xuan Guang transformed into a dragon by possessing the most powerful alien dragon, commanding demons and almost wiping out all his competitors.

"Newborn Illusion Clan members only have consciousness, not physical form..."

Ji Fuyou carefully examined the information and interrogated Youzhao one by one, quickly obtaining information that surprised him: "So... every Illusion Clan being is a born spiritual being!? I can completely incorporate them into the Void God Realm!?"

He quickly searched for the Phantom Clan's methods of reproduction.

This way...

It was actually born from the intense clash of the minds of two or more Phantom Clan members.

"The Illusion Clan has no gender distinction. All Illusion Clan members can give birth to new Illusion Clan members through a strong emotion similar to 'sense of accomplishment'. Similarly, they have no parents or relatives. The meaning of their existence is to reproduce. Each reproduction brings them unprecedented pleasure and satisfaction..."

Ji Fuyou analyzed the essence of this creature.

“Newborn phantom race members don’t even have physical forms, so they naturally don’t experience intense emotions like ‘sense of accomplishment.’ Therefore, they constantly attach themselves to powerful creatures, using their bodies and social status to stimulate their ‘sense of accomplishment.’ The stronger the stimulation, the greater the emotional fluctuations, and the higher the probability of reproduction…”

Therefore, the Phantom Clan's desire to conquer civilizations is also one of the ways they gain a sense of "achievement".

"Leaving aside the propagation of this race, the fact that they are all born with mental abilities makes them worthy of my special attention. After all, the entire Illusion Clan numbers... a staggering 3 million!"

3 million people born with mental abilities.

If all of them could be controlled and incorporated into the Realm of the Gods...

How powerful must the Realm of the Void Gods be?!

This is a civilization with even greater potential than the Mechanicus.

The only problem right now is...

The Illusionary Clan civilization is relatively strong.

"Not necessarily. No matter how strong they are, they can't be stronger than the Demon Suppression Valley. I destroyed the Demon Suppression Valley, which had a ninth-level spiritual energy user. What would a mere Illusion Clan be?"

He moved swiftly, heading straight for a patch of mist dozens of kilometers away from this area.

According to the memories of the Illusion Clan, the entrance to their "Maya Temple" was in that mist.

...An hour later, Ji Fuyou stopped in front of a "cave" with a slight architectural style.

"This is it."

He said it in a low voice.

but……

He did not go there immediately.

Instead, they simply blocked the entrance and waited quietly.

His mind, however, was constantly mobilizing the ever-increasing computing power of the Void God Realm to complete the final step of perfecting the "Great One".

The Illusion Clan is quite powerful, with three members at the eighth rank.

Even if Youguang died, there are still Xuanguang and Mingguang.

Moreover, besides the eighth rank, there are also quite a few seventh rank individuals.

Especially the fourth to tenth seats, relying on their advantages in mental abilities and the skill inheritance they gained from standing out in the Heavenly Ranking War, all seven of them can be considered top experts among the seventh rank.

Therefore, he should have enough trump cards before heading to the Illusion Realm where the Illusion Clan resides.

"On Red Star's side, with the first batch of Void God Realm helmets already on the market, the number of people in the Void God Realm has grown to 180 million. However, this number is utterly insignificant compared to the Mechanical God Cult, which has grown to 2100 million..."

As his thoughts raced, a great deal of his cognitive, conceptual, and imaginative abilities were mobilized to perfect the final part of the "Great One" celestial body.

In less than a day, his biggest trump card had reached a critical moment.

99.7%, 99.8%, 99.9%…

Finally, accompanied by a peculiar ripple spreading from the Void God Realm, a body without form, constructed entirely of "energy," appeared in the blazing sun that illuminated all things in the Void God Realm.

The instant this energy-based body took shape, he seemed to form a strange resonance with the virtual void power and destructive power.

Even the mental power project he created based on the "acquired spirit" resonated with this energy-like body.

That feeling...

It's like something that should have belonged to "He" is trying to return.

This unusual situation quickly made Ji Fuyou realize what was going on.

"The Void Authority and the Authority of Destruction are both powers left behind by that Great One. The 'Great One' that I see before me is ultimately constructed based on that real Great One. Although the difference in power between the two is like that between a firefly and the moon compared to the real Great One, it seems to have a trace of the Great One's essence..."

He carefully sensed the resonance between this "Great One" constructed with the power of the Void God Realm and the void power and destructive power simulated by the same Void God Realm power...

Although they are both formed from the power of the Void God Realm, they are able to interact with each other.

It has to be said, this is incredible.

Especially when his mind was completely immersed in this interaction, his thoughts had a vague feeling that they were about to rise, but he was unable to enter a higher dimension.

The reason why I can't get in...

"My skills are too poor!"

Ji Fuyou realized in his heart: "Or rather, this 'Great One' and the virtual void power and destructive power are not real enough. They only give people an extremely powerful feeling. If you really take them as the real 'Great One' manipulating the void power... you will be exposed immediately."

Although I cannot manipulate the power of the void like a truly great being, but...

It at least gave him a direction to study the power of the void and the power of destruction.

These two long-established research projects have finally seen a glimmer of hope for progress.

Even the Mind Power project seems to be making some moves.

For that truly great being, mastering the void, the laws of destruction, and comprehending the power of the mind are merely basic operations.

Ji Fuyou's gaze lingered on the "Great One" in the Realm of the Void Gods.

The celestial body has been shaped.

Next step……

He actually tried it out himself.

"Jumping directly from the eighth rank to the tenth rank is not an easy task. Let's be cautious and conduct a simulation in the Void God Realm first."

Ji Fuyou's mind stirred.

A body, a perfect replica of his current physical condition, took shape in the Realm of the Gods.

After this body took shape, rays of starlight were projected from the star of the "Great One" in the sky. These rays of starlight illuminated the body he had replicated, causing it to quickly evolve into the star.

This transformation lasted for less than 1% before his body was already being eroded by the power emanating from the "Great One".

Ji Fuyou was not surprised by this result.

"The fact that the 'Great One' condensed a star body does not mean that I can completely copy it and transform it into my star body. Once this star body is formed, its greatest help to my cultivation is to assist me in simulating my process of absorbing star power and transforming a star body, and accumulating experience in condensing star bodies."

He knew very well that even if his body in the Void God Realm could complete 100% of the star transformation, attempting to condense a star in the real world would still be extremely dangerous.

After all, the "great ones" of the virtual god realm are not truly great ones.

His celestial bodies do not represent real celestial bodies.

"I can already try to use myself as a vessel to temporarily bear the power projection of the 'Great One,' allowing this 'Great One' in the virtual god realm to enter reality... I just don't know how effective it will be..."

Ji Fuyou turned his gaze to the entrance to the Illusionary Clan World.

We'll know how effective it is soon.

The Illusion Clan is the best touchstone.
