Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 522 Death
deprivation!

The power of the void has been stripped away!

The nine powers have always been bestowed by the rules of the Heavenly Ranking upon those geniuses who are expected to become "inheritors," helping them to grow rapidly in the early stages.

Since they can give, they can also take away.

However, Ji Fuyou never imagined that such deprivation would occur at this moment.

It appeared during the crucial period when he was fighting the Star-Devouring Demon and was losing, and was planning to retreat.

A war of the Heavenly Rankings?

A star-devouring monster?

Void Guardian?
And the remains of the Star God?

It seems that some kind of connection has formed between the various elements, linking them together.

He didn't know if these connections had any other special or mystical aspects, but now...

This unexpected connection made Ji Fuyou feel as if his heart had instantly plummeted into an abyss.

He could clearly feel that his "connection" with the power of the void was declining at an extremely rapid pace.

In the blink of an eye, the power of the void, which was on the verge of the sixth level, fell to the fourth level, and then to the third level!

If he weren't still wielding the power of "Star God's Light," he probably wouldn't have been able to maintain the third level of void power and would have slid down to the second level, or even to the point where he would have been completely stripped of his void power.

but……

Faced with the powerful Star Devouring Demon that now possesses five layers of void power, there is clearly little difference between the third layer and being completely stripped of void power.

Ji Fuyou was not only forced to fall back from that strange state of traveling through the void, but also felt that the surrounding space was becoming viscous at an extremely fast speed.

The void lock that had previously dissipated is now reforming!
"Any blasphemer will be completely purified in the annihilation light."

The divine thought storm of the Star-Devouring Demon swept across the heavens and earth.

After the Void Guardian stripped Ji Fuyou of his Void Authority, causing his Void Power to plummet, he once again condensed a new attack—the Annihilation Mystic Light.

At zero point in the vacuum, the black beam of light once again pierced the void.

This time, as the black beam of light pierced the void, a powerful force of void followed closely behind, engulfing Ji Fuyou's figure and causing him to momentarily freeze.

"laugh!"

The next moment, he barely managed to use a trace of destructive power to disintegrate the wisp of annihilation light at the very center, and his entire body was completely swallowed up by the eternal annihilation light.

Unlike in the past, this time, the annihilation of the mysterious light was not fleeting.

Amidst the roaring storm of divine thoughts from the Star-Devouring Demon, a continuous stream of annihilating profound light relentlessly assaulted Ji Fuyou's body.

With the help of the power of the void sealing him off, Ji Fuyou was like an amber frozen in the void, unable to escape at all. He could only do his best to use the power of destruction to fight against this black pillar of light.

but……

Even with the added bonus of being an agent of "Star God Cosmic Light," the power of only four layers of destruction was still insufficient to completely shatter the Annihilation Profound Light. As a result, one or two tenths of the Annihilation Profound Light still frantically washed over his body, rapidly dissolving his celestial body.

Although he immediately channeled boundless starlight into himself to recover as he dissipated, but...

The destruction caused by the Annihilation Light was clearly more rapid and violent than the restoration he caused by the Starlight.

"how come……"

Ji Fuyou wanted to escape the onslaught of the Annihilation Light.

However, after being stripped of the void authority granted by the Heavenly Ranking rules, his remaining three layers of void power were no match for the fifth layer of void blockade imposed by the Star Devouring Demon.

At this moment, he felt as if he were being tortured by the scorching sun!

Although he can continuously mobilize stellar power to restore himself by acting on behalf of "Star God Cosmic Light", the restoration cannot keep up with the destruction, so such restoration is meaningless except to prolong his suffering.

Break the situation! ?
How to break this deadlock?
The difference in strength between the third-tier and fifth-tier legendary beings is enormous. The power of the third-tier legendary being is greatly diminished by the stripping of the Void Authority. In addition, the star-devouring demon that wields the power of the five layers of the Void is already the most powerful existence among the fifth-tier legendary beings!
Already outnumbered, they were further weakened, while the enemy...

It's even more powerful than expected!

The combination of these three factors directly plunged Ji Fuyou into a desperate situation with no way out and certain death.

Even with all his efforts, he still couldn't break the deadlock on his own.

unless……

A miracle has occurred!

And a miracle...

Where is he!?

Ji Fuyou suddenly experienced a mental shock.

The Star-Devouring Demon has already descended, and given its anger, hatred, and murderous intent towards him, it's almost foreseeable that after killing him, it will further destroy Crimson Star in a fit of rage.

But under these circumstances, that peerless swordsman who could cleave the heavens and the abyss with his sword…

Where is he?!
Ji Fuyou did his best to release his divine sense, trying to sense "his" existence.

I want to see that peerless swordsman, just like in my dream, leap into the sky, soar straight into the heavens, and then cleave the abyss with his sword to assist him, or even replace him, in defeating this star-devouring demon!

And he became the only hope that could save him and break the deadlock of today.

therefore……

"The Star-Devouring Demon has arrived! Where is he?!"

The surge of divine sense swept across the entire Crimson Star, eager to find the peerless swordsman with the power to break the deadlock.

but……

No.

There was no movement on the red star.

at best……

Some people share the same question as him.

……

"I've seen this scene before...."

Reluctant to abandon the experiment, Chen Yunye gazed towards Xuan Yue Island.

Having refined the Star Soul Liquid, he had been elevated to the tenth level, and his eyesight was beyond that of ordinary people.

In addition, the Star Devouring Demon's enormous size, spanning tens of kilometers, and carrying hundreds of kilometers of mist and storms, makes it clearly visible to ordinary people even from thousands of kilometers away, let alone these tenth-order Celestial Realm beings.

“I’ve seen more than just this scene, this monster powerful enough to destroy Crimson Star. Later… I even saw a person… a peerless swordsman… who soared into the sky to confront this monster…”

Long ago, he thought this person was Gu Qing.

He was the first spiritual master of the Great Shang Dynasty.

and……

He knew in his heart that the reason he displayed the strength of a spiritual master at that time was not because he was merely a spiritual master, but because... at that time, the Great Shang Dynasty only needed one spiritual master.

Therefore, he felt that Gu Qing was mysterious and his strength was definitely much higher than he had imagined, and there was a very high probability that he was that peerless swordsman.

However, as Ji Fuyou rose to prominence, his mindset immediately changed.

It's the season for floating!

It could only be Chairman Ji!

Looking at Chairman Ji's achievements, it is simply a legend, a miracle.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to change his neutral stance and join Ji Fuyou's tutelage. Using his knowledge, which seemed to have been learned long ago, he developed a large number of life potions and spirit potions to assist Ji Fuyou's plan to improve the overall level of Chixing.

But now...

The Galactus monster has indeed arrived!

Ji Fuyou did indeed confront that star-devouring demon and displayed extraordinary skills.

But in the end...

It was a notch weaker than that star-devouring monster!
Currently, it is completely engulfed by that black beam of light. Although it is still trying its best to resist, anyone can see that it is already at its last gasp, and it is only a matter of time before it is completely annihilated.

Furthermore, unlike that peerless swordsman, he did not display the unparalleled skill of cleaving the heavens and earth with his sword...

Ji Fuyou, not him.

Therefore, Chen Yunye was anxious and had no choice but to utter the same cry as Ji Fuyou.
Where is he!?

……

Where is he!?

Relying on his illusory authority, Gu Qing, who had managed to approach the battlefield from over a thousand kilometers away, also let out an incredulous cry at this moment.

This scene...

He had also "seen" it before.

Furthermore, after getting to know Ji Fuyou and witnessing his legendary growth firsthand, he also became convinced that Ji Fuyou was indeed the peerless swordsman.

especially……

The "familiarity" he had always felt with Ji Fuyou served as further evidence.

Therefore, Gu Qing, who originally did not take the initiative or interfere, also came to Ji Fuyou's side and silently assisted him.

He will do his utmost to fulfill any request he makes, as long as he asks for it.

Even when facing life-threatening situations, he never hesitated and simply carried out the orders in silence.

When Ji Fuyou planned to spread the flames of the Crimson Star civilization throughout the surrounding area, Gu Qing had already realized something.

Sure enough, the star-devouring monster descended.

However, things did not unfold as he had "seen".

Ji Fuyou was no match for that star-devouring demon.

That star-devouring demon was so powerful that it definitely reached the level of a legendary fifth tier monster.

Although Ji Fuyou's growth was nothing short of miraculous, and although he completed in just four years a journey that many people could not finish in a hundred years, his strength as a third-tier legendary figure...

They still couldn't defeat the Star-Devouring Demon.

He is not him.

But if he isn't him, then where is that peerless swordsman who could truly cleave the heavens and defeat the star-devouring demon?

Or……

Was it really just an illusion, a dream?
For a moment, Gu Qing felt lost and dejected.

"Actually... although I foresaw this scene and even saw a peerless swordsman soar into the sky, his sword slicing through the heavens to meet that star-devouring demon, at that time, I seemed to have already died? Or perhaps, I woke up from the dream."

He didn't know what the specific ending would be after the dream.

Whether that peerless swordsman can truly defeat the Star-Devouring Demon is also unknown.

and so……

Even if that peerless swordsman really does appear, so what?
Relying on his supreme authority in the Void God Realm, he deeply understood the significance of a fifth-tier legendary demonic creature. He knew very well that this kind of demonic creature…

It is the pinnacle of the galaxy today.

No one can defeat him!

……

"No one can defeat him!"

After enduring several breaths, but the peerless swordsman who cleaved the heavens with his sword still hadn't appeared, Ji Fuyou's mind suddenly became very calm.

"Upon closer reflection, the expressive power of that peerless swordsman's sword slashing across the abyss... is actually inferior to mine. So what if he were to emerge?"

Not long ago, he almost thought he was that peerless swordsman, and that was the reason.

Feeling the star becoming increasingly difficult to recover and maintain under the impact of the Annihilation Light, he understood: "This legendary fifth-order demon, who wields fifth-order void power... is invincible."

Four years!

Four whole years!

He diligently and assiduously practiced his skills, never slacking off in the slightest.

But the outcome remained unchanged.

Just like the future he had seen in his dreams!

He turned his head, seemingly gazing into the distance...

Across the vast starry sky, there lies Fang Qiyun, Ji Qingqing, Yu Xiaoyu, and his bloodline successor, Ji Xinghe…

"Unfortunately... the void was sealed off again, and there wasn't even time to say goodbye."

He sighed deeply in his heart.

"it's over……"

"Blasphemer!"

"Boom!"

An even more violent and intense burst of annihilation light broke through the seal of the destructive power and struck Ji Fuyou's body.

Collapse!

Ji Fuyou could clearly feel that his star was completely collapsing!
After the celestial body disintegrates, what remains is his consciousness, thoughts, and mind...

Ji Fuyou, dead!
