Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 454 Opponent

Chapter 454 Opponent
"Boom!"

Nearly one-third of the land, measured in tens of thousands of square kilometers, has been wiped out or destroyed. The resulting impact is enormous!

The entire Xuan Yue Island trembled at that moment.

It was only by sheer luck that the power of destruction, rather than absolute force, destroyed nearly a third of the island; otherwise, the energy released from crushing such a vast area would almost certainly have triggered tsunamis and hurricanes.

The dust, intense light, and high temperatures brought by the storm affected everyone on Xuan Yue Island.

Although nearly a third of the islands were not destroyed by absolute force, their silent disappearance and annihilation, along with the surging waves that followed, still evoke an indescribable sense of awe.

Those who had already evacuated and witnessed this scene through satellites and observation equipment, including Song Lingxiao, all stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with utter horror.

The high-ranking officials of the empires in the capitals of various countries were also horrified and incredulous.

They knew that with the arrival of the extraordinary era, the existing power structure on Crimson Star would inevitably change.

The most powerful weapons are no longer tanks, fighter jets, missiles, or even nuclear bombs.

but……

Even a nuclear bomb, as powerful as it is, could never achieve what we are seeing now: completely annihilating over 10,000 square kilometers of land, turning it to dust and ashes.

It's worth noting that the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs left a crater on the earth that was only 180 kilometers in diameter.

If we were to use the unit "cubic meter" to calculate, the meteorite, which was equivalent to 100 trillion tons, would not have caused as much damage as Ji Fuyou had done to the island at this moment.

This terrifying destructive power...

This was enough to overturn the entire world of living beings who witnessed it.

……

The sudden disappearance of tens of thousands of square kilometers of land and the influx of seawater naturally made this sea area turbulent.

But Ji Fuyou's expression remained very calm.

This terrifying scene would be earth-shattering for ordinary people, but for him, who had already reached the eleventh level, it was nothing.

With his current strength, he could freely manipulate the power of heaven and earth, releasing energy that was in no way inferior to a nuclear explosion.

After all, before he reached the Celestial Realm, the hail he unleashed with Ice Roar in the capital of the Black Gold Empire was no less destructive than a nuclear weapon.

When they fought against the tenth-level Lord of Xuan Yue Island, it was as if two streams of light were constantly colliding in the void, and the energy released by each collision was no less than that of a small-yield nuclear bomb.

At best, it lacks the dazzling brilliance of a nuclear bomb.

The people on Red Star were making a big fuss...

It's entirely because their vision is too limited; at most, they've only come into contact with fifth or sixth-level Martial Saints, and their understanding hasn't kept up.

After all, the eleventh-tier Ji Fuyou was far too powerful for Chixing, which had not yet entered the second round of the Heavenly Ranking War.

"No."

Ji Fuyou said something.

His divine sense constantly enveloped this destroyed island region.

Despite the large number of strange beasts and monsters falling into the sea as the island was destroyed, he did not "see" the Skeleton Demon Lord among them.

"So... less than two months from now, around the same time in the dream, the Skeleton Demon Lord won't appear at all?"

Ji Fuyou sneered inwardly.

I don't know if I'm laughing at my own futile efforts, or at the inevitable future that I can't change.

"Two months later..."

He looked up into the distance: "My strength has broken through again, advancing from the tenth to the eleventh rank. Even if that Skeleton Demon Lord comes out in two months, what can he do? A mere ninth-rank Heavenly Realm cultivator... is he coming to his death?"

If the future truly cannot be changed...

so what?

As long as his strength increases quickly enough, like now, he can fight against the Bull Demon Lord, Skeleton Demon Lord, and Black Sky Demon Lord with the power of the eleventh rank, then fight against the Crimson Moon Demon Lord and Dark Demon Dragon with the power of the twelfth rank, and even fight against the Demon Dragon Cult Master and Frost Troll with the power of the legendary rank.

Then, as a demigod surpassing even the legendary, he directly confronts that star-devouring monster...

Even if they come, what can they do?
As for the Heavenly Ranking rules, increasingly powerful demons will emerge, and they will confront even more powerful civilizations...

So what!

As long as he continues to grow stronger, he will kill any monsters even more powerful than the Star-Devouring Demon!

As long as he continues to grow, one day he will dare to wield his sword even against the "Great One, the Light of the Universe" who created the rules of the Heavenly Ranking and the Heavenly Ranking War!

Ji Fuyou's figure hovered in the void, and he even closed his eyes.

In my mind, dream experiences and the future that no matter how hard I try, I cannot change keep flowing through my mind.

Gradually……

He seemed to recall the scene when he first encountered that leopard-man at the foot of Mount Fulong.

Fear, helplessness, suffocation.

And ultimately...

He felt a surge of exhilaration as he broke free from the suffocation and fear, and brutally crushed the leopard-man to death with a crowbar.

Since things have come to this, and the future truly cannot be changed...

Do you know?

Ji Fuyou opened his eyes again: "Now, I'm starting to look forward to it."

He looked ahead and saw the waves surging like boiling water in a kettle.

But his gaze wasn't focused on the sea, the sky, or the clouds; instead, he peered through the surface of this world to glimpse the starlight that illuminated the heavens and the universe.

And at the end of that starlight...

That great being who illuminates this starry sky with his own power—the Light of the Universe.

"Searching for a successor!?"

Ji Fuyou muttered to himself, "Are you... dead?"

After he finished speaking, he remained silent for a long time.

But he was bathed in starlight, letting the remaining will within the starlight relentlessly assault him.

However, unlike in the past when the Void God Realm was needed to neutralize or offset the effects, this time...

He allowed his mind and will to fight against this impact.

"You'd better be dead."

He repeated himself, "Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

The next moment, bathed in countless starlight and impacted by willpower, Ji Fuyou, carrying this fierce, blasphemous, and even insane belief, suddenly leaped forward!
His will relentlessly pressed closer to the starlight region formed by the "Great One's Cosmic Light".

Just like...

Moths to the fire!

Like a meteor, it rushes towards the sun!
Fearless!

Go ahead!

Even as the more dazzling starlight scorched his body and the more substantial and powerful will bombarded his beliefs, he still drew closer and closer to the great being "Cosmic Light," who radiated terrifying starlight, like a moth to a flame...

at last!

When his will was overwhelmed to the point where he could barely maintain his senses, when he was completely engulfed by starlight, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and then…

What did I see?

A nebula!
A nebula that appears to have some kind of human silhouette, but is gradually dissipating!

Even upon seeing this nebula, Ji Fuyou suddenly realized that it was not a nebula!

It's a corpse!
The remains of that great being, "Cosmic Light"!

He transformed His remains into boundless starlight, illuminating countless civilizations across this galaxy, altering their course of development, and drawing them into the Heavenly Ranking War...

"See clearly!"

Ji Fuyou's eyes widened.

The next second, his consciousness collapsed.

His life instinct stopped him from continuing to "see".

Just like when a person is holding their breath and about to suffocate, the brain loses consciousness due to lack of oxygen and then loses control of the body. The body's instinct will cause the lungs to breathe automatically.

Ji Fuyou was ultimately not a legend who comprehended the power of the mind and entered the absolute realm.

Unable to control 100% of his own power, he naturally could not overcome this life instinct.

……

In mid-air, Ji Fuyou's figure plummeted straight down to the sea.

At that moment, he seemed to have truly lost all life, as if he had fallen, crashing into the sea and creating a wave in the surging waves.

However, having already partially transformed into an energy body, his biological structure is no longer subject to the constraints of flesh and blood, and he will not experience such a low-level situation as "drowning".

Moreover, in the realm of the illusory gods, the "body" he originally used to simulate himself gradually dissolved and merged with him as he fell into the sea.

His body drifted with the waves in the sea.

The entire process lasted for several minutes.

A few minutes later, Ji Fuyou's figure flew out again.

His divine sense swept across the sea once more.

"They're really not on Crescent Moon Island anymore?"

He said it in a low voice.

Otherwise, given his condition just now, which was practically fatal, there was no reason why the Skeleton Demon Lord wouldn't have jumped out and delivered a fatal blow to him.

After a while, Ji Fuyou completed the fusion with his body in the Void God Realm.

His body in the Void God Realm was originally formed by a part of his divine consciousness being used in two ways.

In a state of mental disorientation, the instinct for life will naturally cause these forces to uncontrollably nourish his body.

Ji Fuyou strode across the mist, and before long, he appeared on Cloud Peak Mountain in Tian Du City.

then……

It slept for three days and three nights.

Over the course of those three days and three nights, countless people came to see him and visit him because of the matter of Xuan Yue Island, but Fang Qiyun, who had already returned from Zhuque City, turned them all away.

……

Three days later, one evening, Ji Fuyou sat on the observation deck of Yunding Mountain Manor, quietly watching the sunset that had already disappeared into the mountains on the horizon.

Behind him, Fang Qiyun, dressed casually, was preparing tea.

She didn't rush to ask what had happened.

She simply prepared the tea and handed it to him.

Ji Fuyou took the teacup and blew on it.

Seeing his posture, Fang Qiyun finally spoke: "Has an uncontrollable change occurred?"

"Uncontrollable...it was indeed uncontrollable before."

Ji Fuyou paused as he spoke, then added, "Now, it's equally uncontrollable."

But his tone was very calm: "However, I can handle it."

"I know."

Fang Qiyun nodded: "I've always known."

Ji Fuyou smiled.

He lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
