Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 531 Crush
"Black Abyss Fortress, no longer exists!?"

Upon receiving this news, the representatives of the three great empires—Shenlong, Yanhuang, and Shenglin—all gasped in shock.

Shenlong was somewhat better off, as he had never actually fought Ji Fuyou.

Although he knew Ji Fuyou's strength from intelligence reports, he ultimately did not experience it firsthand.

But the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty...

In particular, the Holy Lin Empire awakened their ancestral Qilin in order to fight against Ji Fuyou, and the two sides fought fiercely.

If it weren't for the vast difference in strength between them, and Ji Fuyou's reluctance to let hundreds of billions of high-quality lives of the Holy Lin Empire perish, leading him to choose a swift victory, the Holy Lin Empire's capital planet would have been shattered into pieces by the end of the battle.

Therefore, they had no doubt about Ji Fuyou's strength.

When the Black Abyss only sent a second-tier legendary figure to deal with Ji Fuyou's invitation, they sensed that Ji Fuyou might be planning something.

Mo Wu, this legendary second-tier cultivator, is likely to suffer a bit.

But they never expected Ji Fuyou's reaction to be so severe.

They actually intend to wipe out the Black Abyss's main base—the Black Abyss Fortress, which is said to be invincible!?
This attitude made the three great empires understand Ji Fuyou's determination.

This also made the three great empires realize his domineering nature.

If we are willing to listen to him properly, we can communicate harmoniously and achieve win-win cooperation.

If you refuse to listen...

Then don't listen to it!

Although shocked, Yan Huang still followed Ji Fuyou's request and quickly informed the representatives of both the Star God and the Extreme Universe.

Although neither side sent a legendary fourth-tier representative, they did send at least a legendary third-tier representative.

As long as it doesn't involve the life or death of their own faction, those at the Legendary Tier 3 generally have enough decision-making power.

However, upon receiving this news, representatives from both the Star God Temple and the Extreme Universe immediately arrived at Yanhuang's palace.

"Your Majesty Yanhuang, what does that Star Lord Ji mean by this? Why does he suddenly want to destroy the Black Abyss Fortress?"

"Does this Star Lord Ji perhaps intend to rule this galaxy? If so, we six parties will probably have to unite! Although he can defeat the Primordial Qilin and even slay the Star Calamity, the combined strength of the six parties is enough to protect ourselves! Your country certainly doesn't want to see someone standing above all of us, swaggering around?"

The two representatives spoke quickly.

But Yanhuang glanced at the two of them and sighed, "You two have no idea how serious this is."

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty Yanhuang, our Star God Palace and the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty have a fairly good relationship. The Star God Palace has shops in many of the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty's open worlds, where we exchange goods and services. We also invite the Yanhuang Holy Dynasty to invest in us and develop together. Is there anything you can't say directly?"

The two representatives frowned.

"Although Star Lord Ji informed you of his slaying of the Star Calamity when he asked me to invite you, deep down you still don't believe that Star Lord Ji destroyed this fifth-tier demonic creature through his own strength! Or rather, you think that no matter how strong Star Lord Ji is, he is at most only slightly stronger than the rule-based divine beasts of your respective forces, right?"

Yan Huang did not reply, but instead asked a question in return.

But this question made the two representatives vaguely realize something.

"Is not it?"

"This Star Lord Ji... is stronger than we expected?"

Their response was deliberate.

"Get your spies out of Black Abyss Fortress as soon as possible, and make sure they don't go too far. Also, broadcast it live so you can see it for yourselves. No matter what I say, it won't be as convincing as witnessing the destruction of Black Abyss firsthand."

Yan Huang said.

"The destruction of the Black Abyss!?"

The two representatives felt a chill run down their spines.

Doesn't Yan Huang's implication mean...?

Ji Fuyou possesses the absolute power to annihilate the Black Abyss Fortress!?
The two legendary figures within the fortress, along with the six Tier 3 legendary figures who regularly oversee the defenses, are doomed!
"Is he really... that strong!?"

The third-tier legendary figure from the Extreme Universe trembled slightly in his heart.

"You'll see soon enough."

Yan Huang said.

Seeing this, the two envoys decided not to press the matter further.

It seems we'll have to wait an hour to see for ourselves.

However, the fact that the two legends sent the message back, causing a large number of agents from various factions to flee from Black Abyss Fortress, still attracted the attention of Black Abyss.

After a brief investigation, they quickly understood the reason why the agents of the five major forces had collectively fled.

Soon after, Mo Wu, the representative of the Black Abyss, approached Yan Huang.

Although he, a second-tier legendary figure, dared not confront Yan Huang, a fourth-tier legendary figure, he still suppressed his anger: "Your Majesty Yan Huang, what is the meaning of this? We kindly accepted your invitation to attend the meeting. What, is this meeting to unite with other major forces to deal with our Black Abyss and start a war against us?"

"War?"

Yan Huang glanced at him: "We naturally won't go to war with the Black Abyss, but Lord Ji..."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and shook his head: "You are not qualified to wage war against Lord Ji."

"He's alone?"

Mo Wu was both surprised and furious.

"I urge you to hurry and earn Lord Ji's forgiveness. Perhaps you can still preserve the lineage of your Black Abyss clan, otherwise..."

Yan Huang did not continue speaking.

Although Mo Wuxin was equally wary of Ji Fuyou, who had killed the fifth-tier demon Xingcai and intimidated the three great empires, he had no choice but to send the message back as soon as possible.

As the news spread, the first thing Ji Fuyou saw was the scene of Black Abyss Fortress activating all its formations.

Ji Fuyou ignored this.

He waited quietly.

During this time, inside the Black Abyss, Endless, a fourth-tier legendary being, used a secret technique to project his divine sense onto the starry sky where Ji Fuyou was located.

"Star Lord Ji, we don't know where Xingyuan has offended you that you are making things difficult for us?"

This legendary powerhouse, one of the highest rulers of the Black Abyss, solemnly declared.

Ji Fuyou glanced at him.

Among the three major powers—Star God, Black Abyss, and Extreme Universe—Star God is slightly better, followed by Extreme Universe. And Black Abyss…

Within their sphere of influence, almost no civilization survived.

They will either enslave them or be utterly destroyed.

There is no third possible outcome.

The name Black Abyss, besides its literal meaning, also refers to the area where they operate, which can be described as an abyss of life.

This force that wantonly destroys other civilizations...

There's not much need to keep it.

He then said directly, "You have 12 minutes left. Be prepared to resist me."

"It seems that Lord Ji is determined to be our enemy, Black Abyss, and fight to the death?"

"Endless said in a deep voice."

"A fight to the death?"

Ji Fuyou said calmly, "You overestimate yourselves."

These words nearly made the anger in Wujin's eyes burst out: "Then let us in the Black Abyss experience firsthand the true strength that Lord Ji possesses to slay the Star Calamity!"

After saying that, his figure disappeared into the starry sky.

Soon after, dozens of auras emerged from the Black Abyss, which served as a war fortress.

These auras almost completely merged with the war fortress, making this 40,000-kilometer-diameter war fortress seem to come alive, transforming into a celestial life form.

The power emanating from this celestial being surpassed that of the Qilin, the progenitor of the Holy Qilin Empire, and even exceeded that of the fifth-order demonic creature, Star Calamity, reaching the peak of the fifth order.

Of course, the Star Calamity's power is not only due to its legendary fifth-tier strength, but also its fifth-level void power.

But this Black Abyss Fortress before us is one with the aura of dozens of legendary figures…

Its energy intensity has reached the peak of the fifth rank.

However, Ji Fuyou, who had cultivated to a perfect state, saw through it at a glance.

The merging of dozens of legends into one will inevitably lead to a significant decrease in the flexibility of energy mobilization and operation.

It looks imposing, but even if its final combat power is stronger than that of the Primordial Qilin, it is only by a very limited margin.

"In my personal opinion, the most important thing in the legendary realm is absolute control, but... whether it's the three great empires or the people in the Black Abyss, they all seem to have gone down the path of accumulating 'quantity'..."

Ji Fuyou's thoughts drifted.

But that's right.

Compared to absolute control and the realm of perfection, which can only be attained through breakthroughs in mental power, accumulating quantity...

It's obviously easier to see the results that way.

It is also easier to convert it into powerful combat force.

While I was pondering, the Black Abyss Fortress had already completed its transformation.

With four minutes left until the final deadline, before Ji Fuyou could even make a move, the Black Abyss Fortress, filled with dozens of legendary auras and divine thoughts, had already begun to move, and a railgun over three thousand kilometers long rapidly appeared above the planet!
Terrifying energy was instantly poured into the railgun, where it was nurtured and accelerated!
"No need to wait until the last moment, Ji Fuyou. Since you want to test the strength of my Black Abyss Civilization, we will grant your wish!"

As endless waves of divine thought swept in, the orbital cannon, which had been nurtured and accelerated to its limit, suddenly unleashed a violent beam of energy, carrying enough power to destroy planets, tearing through the void and piercing through the void.

"Although the time has not yet come, the Black Abyss Fortress is completely sealed off, and those who did not escape from the five major forces will not be able to escape either."

Ji Fuyou pondered this in his heart.

Faced with that beam of energy that pierced through the void, powerful enough to destroy a small planet in a single strike...

He didn't even glance at it.

Although the energy beam shot out at a speed close to the speed of light, its aiming angle, energy accumulation, and attack pattern were almost no secrets to Ji Fuyou, who was at the perfect level.

He merely took a small step forward, imbued with the power of the void, and thus avoided the bombardment of this energy beam.

As for the void force field that simultaneously enveloped the area in conjunction with this energy beam attack...

It was utterly ineffective against Ji Fuyou, whose power of the void had reached the sixth level.

With a single, seemingly effortless step, he appeared in front of the Black Abyss Fortress.

Immediately afterward, before the legends in the Black Abyss Fortress could even adjust their energy flow, they made a sweeping gesture.

Just like when the Crimson Star Sword cleaved the Heavenly Abyss and shattered the Void Lock.

A void rift was slashed out, precisely tearing apart one of the most critical nodes in the operation of the entire Black Abyss Fortress.

Instantly, the energy and divine sense connections of dozens of legendary figures seemed to be simultaneously disrupted, causing their operation to stagnate slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the power of the void erupted, frantically constricting and pulling at the surrounding space, seemingly trying to drag all the surrounding matter toward a single point to collapse, thereby massively destroying the structure of the planet where the Black Abyss Fortress was located, and ultimately burying the entire planet.

The sudden upheaval threw the legends in Black Abyss Fortress into chaos, each resorting to their own methods to try and stabilize the collapsing void.

Just as they were about to stabilize the structure of the void and the Black Abyss Fortress, Ji Fuyou reached out again...

Pointed out one after another!

The combined efforts of internal and external forces, with each force targeting the most critical weak point.

Under such impact and vibration, even the Black Abyss Fortress, which was transformed from a special planet, could not withstand it, and the entire star collapsed and shattered.

"No!"

As the planetary fortress shattered, an uncontrollable surge of divine consciousness emanated from within.

Amidst the fluctuations, there was a palpable sense of panic and fear.

Immediately afterwards, the fourth-tier legendary figure, Wujin, once again projected his divine sense.

"Lord Ji, let's talk this out. Why resort to violence? Just tell us what you need, and Black Abyss will do everything in its power to meet it..."

The unruly demeanor of not long ago was no longer present in the fluctuations of his divine sense.

"No need, I'm doing it myself."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he made a gesture of pressing down.

The power of the void surged forth like a tidal wave, crushing the already collapsed Black Abyss Fortress, which was filled with dozens of legendary powerhouses.

In an instant, everything inside was crushed into dust and returned to nothingness.
