Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 443 Sky Fox
Above the sky above Xuan Yue Island.

The two figures were like two streaks of light chasing each other, colliding violently one after the other.

Each collision unleashed a terrifying hurricane, sweeping across all directions and tearing apart the clouds.

Sometimes, even a slightly lower impact can affect the forest below, or smash large trees that would take several people to encircle into pieces, scattering vegetation everywhere.

They even uprooted these trees, lifted them into the air, and threw them hundreds or even thousands of meters away.

This violent roar reverberated across Xuan Yue Island, causing countless creatures on the island who heard the sound to tremble and wail in agony.

At this moment, countless people's understanding of the Heavenly Ranking War was overturned.

And countless people regret why they targeted such a terrifying civilization as Red Star, using them as a scapegoat for their civilizational catastrophe.

However, among these people...

Excluding the owner of Xuan Yue Island.

At this moment, he no longer had time for normal thinking.

Their strength was completely suppressed.

The laws of the void were completely suppressed.

As time went on, even his attack methods were completely deciphered by Ji Fuyou.

Amidst the violent roar and collisions, he was already dizzy and disoriented, fighting back almost solely on his survival instincts.

but……

When he looked as far as he could towards the horizon and could no longer see any of his people, a sense of relief welled up within him.

He is doomed to die.

But at least...

His people fled.

Whether they return to Qingqiu or serve the Demon Dragon Clan...

At least, they are still alive.

The flame of their lineage has never been completely extinguished.

"cause and effect……"

The Lord of Xuan Yue Island was devastated.

"As expected, no matter how careful we are, we will still perish. Even just targeting a civilization that was only in the first round of the Heavenly Ranking War has plunged us into a crisis of destruction... Under the law of cause and effect, no one can escape!"

The next moment, his mind suddenly detected the starlight where the "Great One's Light" was located, and then, he leaped and rushed straight towards the "Great One's Light".

As he rushed toward that great one, even more dazzling starlight shone down, drawing him in and pouring into his body.

During this process, the even more powerful "Will of the Great" within the starlight continuously assaulted his mind and eroded his will.

Yet he was utterly fearless, doing everything in his power to gather all the starlight onto his body.

When the will could no longer withstand the pressure and was about to be crushed and distorted, that starlight, condensed to its extreme...

It suddenly erupted.

"No one escaped unscathed!"

The Lord of Xuan Yue Island roared in a tone that was almost insane.

All the starlight forcibly gathered within his body exploded like a supernova of the smallest scale, carrying endless starlight, blooming and sweeping in all directions.

Ji Fuyou, who was the first to be affected, immediately noticed the changes in the star power within the main body of Xuan Yue Island.

but……

Instead of dodging, he activated his deflection force field and life force field, charging head-on into the burst of starlight!

The reason this battle has lasted so long is that Ji Fuyou wanted to test the various methods he had mastered. He had previously suppressed the Xuan Yue Island master in this way, and now he was testing his life-or-death methods in the same way.

"Boom!"

As a burst of dazzling starlight was released, the sky above Xuan Yue Island was completely illuminated by a blazing white light.

Many members of the Xuan Yue Island clan who had already fled to distant places were overcome with grief upon witnessing this scene.

"Island owner!"

"How could we, the mighty Celestial Fox lineage, be forced into this situation by a civilization that has only just experienced the first round of the Celestial Ranking War?!"

"Revenge! Revenge! We must avenge the island lord!"

These people gritted their teeth, their eyes filled with a deep-seated hatred and murderous intent.

But they were not slow in their escape.

Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood.

If you are controlled by hatred and fight back, you will only face certain death.

……

Above the sky, the dazzling white light gradually dissipated, revealing Ji Fuyou's rather broken and disheveled body.

But within a few breaths after the bright light completely dissipated, this broken and wretched body rapidly healed itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After several more breaths, there were no more visible injuries on his body.

Her skin was as clear and lustrous as jade, radiating a soft glow, like a work of art bathed in gentle light.

"Not a bad trick."

Ji Fuyou put away the golden physique source crystal in his hand.

This is the energy crystal that the Lord of Xuan Yue Island absorbed a large amount of starlight but was unable to effectively release.

"Although his move can only be used as a last strike before death, with slight modifications and the addition of my simulated body in the Void God Realm, it might be able to become a powerful killing move."

As his thoughts wandered, the life-or-death battle between him and the Lord of Xuan Yue Island was also unfolding in his virtual god realm.

Before long... some of the information was integrated and quickly digested by him.

After rehearsing in his mind for a moment, he suddenly clasped his hands together, and a dazzling starlight emanated from his body, transforming into a blazing white light with extremely strong penetrating power and the ability to burn divine thoughts, shining in the void.

"If you make a crucial move at a critical moment, it can easily turn the tide and give you the upper hand."

Ji Fuyou said something.

This move...

"The Celestial Fox Worships the Moon?"

In the latter part of his life-or-death battle with the Lord of Xuan Yue Island, he had already used the power of the Void God Realm to understand all of the Lord's attack methods, so he was able to distract himself from collecting the Lord's scattered spiritual energy.

However, the opponent was ultimately a tenth-level Heavenly Realm cultivator with an extremely high utilization rate of mental will. Only when he injured or severely damaged him could the opponent shake his mind and extract some useful information.

In this situation, the information gathering is not comprehensive.

"The Lord of Xuan Yue Island, whose real name is Qingyi, comes from a place called Qingqiu. He is an exile of the Qingqiu Celestial Fox Clan... and his exile has lasted for an extremely long time... dating back to a hundred years ago..."

Ji Fuyou summarized this information, while also feeling somewhat surprised.

These celestial foxes are truly blessed by heaven.

Not only are they born with a fourth-order physique, but with a little cultivation they can reach the fifth-order strength. The key is that their average lifespan is as long as 500 years.

For example, Qingyi was already over 140 years old when he was exiled, which is considered to be just over 18 years old in the Celestial Fox Clan.

The killing move he learned about, Heavenly Fox Worshiping the Moon, was merely an internal technique of their Heavenly Fox Clan, which had undergone these changes after being improved by the Lord of Xuan Yue Island.

"The Heavenly Fox Worships the Moon in this way, and so is its final move, Annihilation of Starlight. It is evident that this Heavenly Fox exile named Qingyi possesses extraordinary talent."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

However, his talent is extraordinary. Ji Fuyou, who possesses the Void God Realm and has the conceptual, imaginative, and creative abilities of hundreds of millions of people, has a talent that far exceeds anyone's imagination.

With a large amount of power from the Void God Realm being activated, the Heavenly Fox Worships the Moon and Starlight Annihilates were rapidly optimized.

In particular, the annihilation of starlight followed Ji Fuyou's combat philosophy and was further improved by combining it with the virtual body constructed by the Void God Realm.

"After the improvements are complete, I can project the 'me' in the Void God Realm to serve as the power carrier for the extinction of starlight. Although it requires a large amount of power from the Void God Realm to assist each time, the negative effect of having to 'self-destruct' is completely eliminated."

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment.

This will be another powerful killing move for him after shattering the vacuum.

Unlike the Void Shattering technique, which relies heavily on the authority of the Void and the authority of Destruction and requires a considerable "cooling-off" time after each use, the Starlight Extinction technique only requires sufficient power from the Void God Realm to continuously "shape" his Void God body and unleash this life-or-death move.

In terms of applicability, the Starlight Annihilation technique is more widely applicable than the Vacuum Shattering technique.

After digesting the gains from the battle, Ji Fuyou took to the air again and headed straight for the palace where the Bull Demon Clan was located.

Although the Bull Demon Clan was transformed into demons, they are essentially the same as the Corpse Demon Clan and the Holy Realm Clan. They turned themselves into this inhuman and ghostly form in order to survive after their defeat in the Heavenly Ranking War.

Therefore, the places they lived in were not wilderness, caves, or tribes, but rather magnificent palaces. In terms of living environment, it was probably not much worse than when they had not yet been transformed into monsters.

At this moment, the Bull Demon Clan's palace complex had also fallen into chaos.

On Xuan Yue Island, despite the four factions standing in a tripartite balance, the strongest party is undoubtedly the smallest in number, the Heavenly Fox Clan.

Not only are there tenth-tier island lords, but there are also four ninth-tier celestial foxes, which are more than enough to suppress the three races of corpse demon, bull demon, and bone demon.

When the Bull Demon Clan's high-ranking members learned that the Celestial Fox Clan, who were the island's lords, had all chosen to scatter and flee for their lives, these Bull Demon Clan high-ranking members also chose to abandon the palace and escape in all directions.

With the higher-ups fleeing, the remaining Bull Demon Warriors naturally lacked any semblance of order.

For treasures and for profit, they not only killed each other, but some palaces were even burned down.

It's unclear whether it was an accident or the fire was set by the Bull Demon Clan themselves.

Ji Fuyou arrived at the tallest palace in the complex, locked onto a bull demon guard, and enveloped it with the power of the Void God Realm. At the same time, he asked, "Where is your king?"

"I don't know... We haven't seen His Majesty since the island suddenly traversed and arrived in the Demon Dragon Sea..."

The Bull Demon Guard's instinctive response.

Even his scattered mental fluctuations revealed a great deal of information.

He had indeed not seen the Bull Demon King for some time.

Seeing this, Ji Fuyou had no choice but to head into the palace.

During this time, some Bull Demon Warriors of high status were discovered.

However, upon inquiry, they also had no idea where the Bull Demon King had fled to.

……

An hour later, Ji Fuyou returned from the Bull Demon Palace.

Aside from some useless source crystals and refining materials, he didn't gain anything else.

"Escaped."

Ji Fuyou said something.

but……

The death of the Skeleton Demon Lord had shown him that although the future timeline had a strong capacity for restoration, he could indeed interfere with the development of future events.

Having confirmed this, the trip to Xuan Yue Island was worthwhile.

What's more...

He also discovered a void rift on Xuan Yue Island.

If he studies this void rift carefully, he might be able to advance his understanding of the power of the void to the fourth level.

At that time, he will no longer be able to freely use ordinary void travel without any cooldown.

"The Demon Dragon Clan... it's not time to start a war yet... the Void Rift should be fully 'charged' by now, we need to go back."
