Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 535 Authority
Outside the Flying Realm, the surging mist was violently churning, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Not only did Ji Fuyou arrive in person, but the third and fourth-tier legendary guardians dispatched by various top forces also made their appearance.

"finally come."

"Our forces have formed an alliance, and our karmic entanglements are intertwined, inseparable. The arrival of this demon is a backlash against our actions."

“I anticipated this scenario. Only by weathering this backlash can the Star River Alliance truly gain a foothold, and only then can our established systems be truly implemented. If we cannot withstand it… it would be better to break up into smaller units and let each of us accept our fate.”

The third and fourth-tier legends quickly exchanged ideas.

Among these legends are six major forces...

There are four-tier legendary figures from the five major powers, as well as three-tier legendary figures who were originally at odds with these major powers.

"Alliance Leader Ji, we'll probably have to rely on you a lot in this battle."

Yan Huang was standing next to Ji Fuyou, his expression full of worry.

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing."

Ji Fuyou said calmly.

He noticed from many details that although the false god had eroded the rules of the Heavenly Ranking, it could only influence them within a very small range.

This involves sending out strange beasts and monsters emerging from the mist to attack various civilizations...

We also have to follow the rules of the Heavenly Ranking.

In other words, the civilizations in the first three rounds rarely produce Celestial Realm monsters, and the civilizations in the first six rounds rarely produce Legendary monsters.

The current focus is on several top-tier forces...

Fifth-tier monsters are the limit!
The nine guardians above...

Their primary role should be as the gatekeeper bosses in the ninth round of the Heavenly Ranking War!

Only after these top civilizations have made it to the ninth round of the Heavenly Ranking War, or after they have failed in the ninth round of the Heavenly Ranking War, can they step in and wipe out these civilizations.

Before this, dispatching fifth-tier monsters was the limit of what they could do within the bounds of their rules.

And fifth-tier monsters...

"It's a good opportunity to learn the true abilities of the nine guardians from these monsters, so we can prepare for the final battle."

Ji Fuyou knew that the rules did not allow the nine guardians to personally participate.

but……

The fact that he was stripped of his Void Authority by the Void Guardians during his battle with the Star Devourer shows that they were not the kind of people who were rigid and inflexible.

They will not completely follow the rules.

After all, the true Star Gods and cosmic light have already fallen. Even if they don't follow the rules, who can punish them?
They did not act recklessly, partly because they did not know if the Star God Zeus had left any backup plan.

on the other hand……

In this vast universe, there is absolutely nothing that would warrant them breaking the rules.

Once these fifth-tier monsters are defeated, he will directly confront the nine guardians, thus initiating the final battle!

and so……

These fifth-tier monsters were merely an appetizer.

As their thoughts raced, the fog before them quickly dissipated, and then four terrifying monsters appeared in everyone's sight.

Each of these monsters was no less imposing or large than the Star Devourer.

Behind them was an even larger group of ordinary monsters.

In terms of quantity...

The overall strength of these monsters does not exceed the number of monsters openly displayed by the top powers. If all powers were united, they might be able to defeat these monsters. But the problem is...

Theoretically, it is impossible for various forces, each serving their own master, to do this.

In this situation, such a massive horde of monsters is clearly headed straight for the destruction of these top powers.

"How can there be so many!?"

Ying Lin's face turned pale.

Yan Huang, Qinglong, and the other legendary fourth-tier beings couldn't help but reveal fear in their eyes.

At this moment, Ji Fuyou's divine sense fluctuations were transmitted through the Void God Realm to all the legends of the major forces.

"The five top forces, including your rival forces, have a total of fifteen fourth-tier legendary figures and five fifth-tier legendary combatants. Among these demons, there are four fifth-tier demons and ten fourth-tier demons, which are theoretically at a level you can defeat!"

Theoretically, it's possible to win!?

What a joke! ?

How could their fifth-tier combat power compare to these fifth-tier demons?
These fifth-tier monsters could probably take on two at once without any problem!

Before they could even voice their thoughts, Ji Fuyou's divine sense swept across the entire area once more.

"I'll handle the fifth-tier monsters. As for the rest..."

His divine sense paused slightly: "Pass on my order: all civilizations, with their strongest warriors, must spare no effort to withstand the attacks of these demons! If any of them dares to disobey or desert their posts during this process, even if the demons cannot destroy them, I will personally bury them!"

These words sent a chill down the spines of all the legends.

They had no doubt that Ji Fuyou had the ability to destroy them.

What's more...

If they truly couldn't withstand the monsters, it seemed that only death awaited them. Not to mention that Ji Fuyou was willing to take on all the fifth-tier monsters.

At that moment, Yan Huang, Qinglong, Lin Ying, and others all declared, "Please rest assured, Alliance Leader Ji, we will not let you down!"

"We have always been mortal enemies with strange beasts and demons, and it is our duty to slay them!"

"Alliance Leader Ji has already blocked all the fifth-tier demons. If we still can't do anything to the remaining third- and fourth-tier demons, what face do we have to call ourselves a top-tier force?"

As these fourth-tier legends expressed their views, orders were quickly conveyed to the legends of their respective factions.

"Then, let's fight!"

Without another word, Ji Fuyou took to the air.

As the mist enveloped him and the demons roared, he was like a streak of light, tearing through the void and crashing into the first few fifth-tier demons that were rushing down towards the Flying Heaven Realm!
"Roar!"

These fifth-tier demons roared, their massive bodies containing power sufficient to destroy star-level entities, and accompanied by the power of laws.

Destruction, soul, time, life!
This scene stirred something within Ji Fuyou.

He directly used the power of destruction to fight the two-headed dragon containing the power of destruction, and then used the authority of time to fight the six-winged moth containing the power of time.

He did not concern himself with the two great powers of soul and life, but when fighting these two demons, he used the power of the Void God Realm to analyze the situation at an extremely fast pace.

With the assistance of trillions of units of power from the illusory divine realm, they quickly gained a certain understanding of the authority of the soul and the authority of life.

"The authority of the soul, to explore the essence of the mind; the authority of life, to seek the meaning of life and activate it, so that it never withers..."

With the stability brought by his mental power and the insight brought by his perfect realm, Ji Fuyou moved with ease through the encirclement and attack of the four demons.

Even when facing four opponents alone, he did not lose the slightest advantage.

even……

Neither can be considered to be at a disadvantage.

From beginning to end, Ji Fuyou neither used the power of the sixth level of the void nor projected the "Great One" body from the Void God Realm. With only the power of his own, he had already accomplished what no fifth-tier legendary could do.

"Roar!"

These fifth-tier monsters roared repeatedly.

When they were unable to subdue Ji Fuyou for a long time, the two-headed dragon, possessing destructive power, suddenly roared.

The next moment, Ji Fuyou, who was fighting the monster with destructive power, suddenly sensed something.

Following the source of the destructive power, his senses rapidly expanded, and this time…

He clearly saw the powerful figure at the source of the power of destruction.

He held the power of destruction in his hands, and with his casual utterance of two words—"deprive"—the destructive power that Ji Fuyou possessed was instantly weakened and stripped away in a visible manner.

In an instant, they fell to the second level.

"You can't take a joke, huh!"

This time, Ji Fuyou showed none of the previous panic or confusion.

At this moment, he frantically mobilized all the power of the Void God Realm, meticulously analyzing every detail of how this Guardian of Destruction operated its authority.

even……

It directly touches upon the very power of destruction.

With this insight, even though he was stripped of his power of destruction, his destructive power only weakened for a moment before rising even faster than it had weakened.

The third layer, the fourth layer...

Then, almost without stopping, it surged up to the fifth level again!
Moreover, unlike the realm he previously possessed through the power of authority, this time, with the fifth level of destructive power, he had already grasped the essence of this rule, making it difficult for the guardians of destruction to strip him of his power through the source of authority.

In particular, when his destructive power reached this point, some long-forgotten information that even he himself had ignored was brought to light by the power of the Void God Realm.

This information...

It was the scene from when Ji Fuyou fought against the Star Devouring Demon, where the "Great One" manifested the authority of the planetary god, Cosmic Light.

He compared the scene of himself wielding the power of the planetary god Cosmic Light with the scene of the current Destruction Guardian wielding the power of destruction, and a detail that he had never overlooked came to mind.

"To wield power?! I can do that too!"

Realizing this, his eyes gleamed with joy.

Although he must seize these powers from the rule-keepers as a “great one” when he wants to take them over, this undoubtedly proves that he, the simulated “great one,” has higher authority than the rule-keepers who actually hold the power!
"No matter what, we are the true candidates to inherit the 'Star God's Light'! Those guardians are nothing but thieves who have usurped power."

Ji Fuyou's mind was perfectly clear.

He carefully assessed his and the Guardian of Destruction's understanding of the Authority of Destruction...

He should be around the sixth level.

However, by relying on the power of authority, one can easily unleash the power of the seventh and eighth levels.

Even if an ordinary person comprehends the power of destruction to the seventh level, they may not be able to fight against him.

If he wants to wrest the power of destruction back from the Guardian of Destruction, even if he has the advantage in authority, his understanding of the laws cannot be much lower than his.

With this thought in mind, he turned his gaze to the two-headed dragon that contained the power of destruction.

It even swept over the six-winged moth and the other two fifth-tier demons.

"I will use you as the source of information to improve my database of laws!"
