Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 521 Deprivation
Star-devouring monster!

This ferocious behemoth that broke through the mist and manifested itself was none other than the ultimate BOSS in Ji Fuyou's dream.

That star-devouring monster that brought the Red Star civilization to its final end!

"So fast!"

Ji Fuyou looked at this enormous thing.

too fast!
He had thought that the sudden jump in monster difficulty from Legendary Tier 1 to Legendary Tier 5 would give him some breathing room.

Just as the appearance of a monster changed from once every half month to once every one or two months, the time frame may be extended to three or four months, or even five or six months, depending on the changes in the monster's strength.

But he never expected that the appearance of this star-devouring monster would be completely unpredictable.

Less than half a month after defeating the Ice and Snow Troll - the Snow God, they had already reached Crimson Star!
Ever since he saw this scene in his dream, he has imagined it happening countless times.

Now, this star-devouring monster has truly arrived, emerging from the mist with a colossal form spanning tens of kilometers, blotting out the sky and creating a suffocating pressure from its sheer size…

Strangely, he showed no fear or even panic.

What they possess is simply a calm and unhurried awareness.

"In the end, the moment we had to face has finally arrived."

Everything was exactly as predicted in the dream.

The future is developing in the established manner.

So……

"call out!"

A burst of dazzling starlight emanated from Ji Fuyou's body.

There was no hesitation.

When the star-devouring monster revealed its true form and exerted a suffocating pressure on him with its enormous size, he knew that with his legendary third-tier strength, he was no match for this monster.

Just like how he was able to crush the Snow God so easily back then.

A legendary fifth-tier star-devouring monster faced him...

Its advantages are not far off either.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he projected the "Great One" simulated in the virtual god realm onto himself.

The "Great One," backed by the power of hundreds of billions of Void God Realms, seemed to have become even more powerful than before. The moment the power was projected onto Ji Fuyou, he also felt a stronger and more significant power of authority than before.

The power of the void authority was so strong that even though the Star Devouring Demon seemed to have a deep understanding of the mysteries of the void and had even demonstrated a void seal that could only be achieved at the fifth level of void power, at this moment, he still had a premonition that if given a little time, he could draw down even stronger void power and tear this spatial seal apart in one fell swoop.

As Ji Fuyou projected the "Great One" onto his own body, the already furious and hateful Star Devouring Demon's killing intent suddenly surged to an unprecedented extreme.

"Blasphemer!"

With a roar like a storm of divine thoughts, the space around the Star Devouring Demon rapidly distorted.

During this twisting process, a special energy similar to zero-point vacuum energy was condensed, and its energy core was frantically generating destructive power. If this energy were allowed to be released, the aftershocks of the battle would probably be enough to completely destroy the entire Crimson Star.

Seeing this, Ji Fuyou dared not pause for even a moment.

He fully immersed himself in the power of the void and the power of destruction.

With the help of billions of Void God Realms, at this moment, he seemed to have touched a higher level of Void Power, transforming into the master of Void Authority.

With a flick of his wrist, the void power that the Star-Devouring Demon had manipulated with an unknown secret technique was being smoothed out at an extremely fast speed.

The vacuum zero-point energy, powerful enough to destroy the entire Crimson Star once released, was rapidly weakened and gradually began to dissolve as the power of the void rippled through the layers.

However, his act of using the power of the planetary god's light only made the star-devouring demon even angrier.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the condensed vacuum zero-point energy is encoded and directly transformed into an unknown ray.

This type of ray is similar to gamma rays, but it contains more concentrated and more violent energy.

The rays were like black pillars of light, piercing through heaven and earth.

The black light did not burn the sky and sea or incinerate everything, but rather swallowed up and eliminated the surrounding atmosphere, magnetic field, and radiation.

Faced with this attack, Ji Fuyou also clasped his hands together, and the power of the void seemed to forcefully merge and compress the two worlds, trying to trap and crush the black light that pierced through the heavens and earth.

However, the black light's power to devour and eliminate was equally formidable, managing to break through the pressure that seemed to be caused by the merging of two voids.

Seeing this, Ji Fuyou had no choice but to activate the Law of Destruction once again, and suddenly pointed at the black beam of light that had broken through the void rules.

"Buzz!"

The black light shone.

However, it began to decompose wildly dozens of kilometers away from Ji Fuyou!
It was as if the black beam of light had been shot into a shapeless black hole, and its power was quickly dissolved.

However, even with his foundation of five layers of void power, Ji Fuyou could not block the black pillar of light with void power alone. How could four layers of destructive power completely thwart its edge?

Despite the dissolving power, the black pillar of light shattered inch by inch, losing less than one-tenth of its power.

However, the remaining force still penetrated Ji Fuyou's absolute domain, which spanned tens of kilometers, and struck his body directly.

Most of the dazzling starlight on him was instantly melted away.

Even though the black beam of light that pierced through his body had been further depleted, it still swept across the atmosphere of the Crimson Star with unstoppable force.

After tearing a trench thousands of kilometers long through the atmosphere of the Red Star, it shot directly into the depths of space.

In an instant, the energy tore through the atmosphere and created a vacuum siphon, forming a huge vortex that brought about an unprecedented super storm.

Like a vacuum cleaner with a range of thousands of kilometers, mountains, rivers, skyscrapers, and even aircraft carriers that previously represented the pinnacle of human technology were all sucked into the sky like dust under this terrifying disaster.

In that area where the atmosphere was torn apart, ultraviolet radiation increased a thousandfold.

The ionized air particles transformed into a blue-white rain of fire, which fell to the ground and ignited all the remaining matter along its path.

That single strike that brushed past the Crimson Star...

It didn't even actually hit the Crimson Star, yet the destructive effect it brought was even greater than a direct hit from an ordinary legendary under the Blood Dragon King.

Unfortunately... Ji Fuyou had no time to pay attention to this change at the moment.

He felt his body rapidly recovering under the influence of stellar energy, but...

The relative strengths and weaknesses of both sides have become clear after this round of confrontation.

"The 'Great One' at the third level of the Legendary Realm is ultimately lacking."

Time.

Give him another year...

No, if he is given another six months, he will be able to advance to the fourth level of the Legendary Rank. At that time, he will truly possess the power to fight against the Star Devouring Demon, thereby turning the tide and changing the fate of the Red Star's destruction!

Unfortunately……

time does not wait.

"If only I hadn't wasted those four years..."

Ji Fuyou looked up, facing the Star-Devouring Demon that had missed its attack and was now preparing for another offensive: "If I could do it all over again... and make use of those four years, what would I have to fear from a mere legendary fifth-tier Star-Devouring Demon!?"

Right now, although we can't defeat this star-devouring monster, but...

All the core personnel of Crimson Star have been transferred. As long as he is alive, even if Crimson Star is destroyed, the flame of the Crimson Star civilization will not be extinguished.

Ji Fuyou stretched out his arms, and the power of the void was drawn into him with every movement. The next moment, with a forceful tear...

The void lock that enveloped the entire Crimson Star began to tremble violently, as if it were about to be torn apart by him.

This scene made the Star-Devouring Demon realize something.

"Trying to escape?! Blasphemer, you can't escape!"

The Star Devouring Demon's mental storm spread wildly. Then, it controlled the void lock, causing it to contract violently and redirecting all its power towards Ji Fuyou himself.

However, Ji Fuyou, who already possessed the power of five layers of void, and with the Star God Zhou Guang's right to act on his behalf regarding authority, as he fully unleashed his void techniques, the void power in his hands clashed violently with the void lock of the Star Devouring Demon. The void's blockade against him, and even against the entire Crimson Star, was disintegrating at a visible speed!

The Star-Devouring Demon also noticed this.

"thief!"

He roared angrily, controlling the Void Lock to fight against the Void Power invoked by Ji Fuyou, while simultaneously condensing zero-point vacuum energy again, creating another black beam of light that blasted towards Ji Fuyou's body.

In order to break the void lock, Ji Fuyou hardly used the void authority this time, but he did his best to mobilize the power of destruction, causing the black light pillars that shot towards him to disintegrate inch by inch.

Although the black beam of light eventually pierced through his body and almost completely annihilated his star.

but……

At this moment, he, the planetary god of the universe, seemed to have become the embodiment of stellar power.

All the stellar energy filling this starry sky is equivalent to his energy reserves.

The moment the celestial body shattered, a continuous stream of stellar power was immediately activated, and in less than half a breath, his celestial body had been completely restored.

Not only was it a complete restoration, but this process of destruction and reconstruction even corrected some of the shortcomings of his original stellar structure to a certain extent, making his stellar body more stable and the virtual image more solid.

As the celestial bodies coalesced, the void power emanating from Ji Fuyou's surroundings became increasingly violent.

"Open it for me!"

With the constant bombardment of the void power, which had already surpassed the fifth level and was approaching the sixth level, the void lock visibly cracked open.

"Despicable blasphemer!"

The Star-Devouring Demon let out an unprecedented roar.

The next moment, his void lock, which was on the verge of complete collapse, dissipated on its own.

Although the Void Lock dissipated, the power of the void seemed to have evolved into a special formation, instantly transmitting a mysterious fluctuation to the depths of the starry sky.

Formation...

That was an area that Ji Fuyou had not yet explored in depth.

He didn't know the significance of this formation.

However, the Void Lock has been broken. What he needs to do is to escape Crimson Star as quickly as possible and head to the Divine Dragon Empire to use its power to fight against this demon.

With any luck...

The Star-Devouring Demon was too lazy to bother with a tiny red star and chased after him, hoping to save the red star.

While pondering in his mind, his hands moved without slowing down at all. With the power of the Void Authority that had already been activated, he was about to be enveloped by the power of the Void and disappear from this star field.

But at that moment, Ji Fuyou suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of dread.

The source of this chilling feeling...

It's not a star-devouring monster!

It was not any other legendary powerhouse who suddenly appeared!
But...

The power of the void!

Or……

The power of the void itself!

In the darkness, Ji Fuyou seemed to see another creature once again.

one……

A majestic figure stood guard beside the enormous corpse of the star god, like a guardian deity.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the void, crossing countless light-years in a higher dimension, and landed directly on Ji Fuyou.

"I am the embodiment of authority, the guardian of the void!"

A chilling message burst into Ji Fuyou's senses through the power of the void.

“The authority of the void… stripped away.”
