Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 549 Direction
"What you wield is ultimately not your power."

Ji Fuyou sighed.

But then he added, "That's precisely why you've always wanted to break free from His control."

"Although it is not my power, you will never understand the greatness of this power."

Lingxi spoke calmly.

"No, I understand."

As soon as Ji Fuyou finished speaking, he took a step forward.

His figure darted around, and in an instant, he had arrived in another dimension.

He had already seen Lingxi's true form when his Void Power broke through to the seventh level.

He is not in the real world.

It is not in the higher-dimensional world where the Star Gods reside.

Rather, it is the space between two worlds.

It's like living on a fragment.

It's like being perched on an island.

He used the endless star power left by the eternal light of this starry world as a coordinate to bind himself, thus letting himself float up and down in the higher-dimensional world where the star gods reside and the material world where this starry sky is located.

This is why all living beings can "contemplate" His existence.

But because of this, He can never escape the higher-dimensional space corresponding to this galaxy.

As Ji Fuyou suddenly appeared, Lingxi's expression couldn't help but be moved.

"You actually..."

"Your greatest confidence lies in the dimension you inhabit. With this advantage, apart from the Eternal Light, no matter how powerful other beings are, they can at most exhaust your power, put you into a slumber, or at most wipe out your entire race. But they can never truly harm your true form. This is why you presumptuously claim to be 'great,' but in reality..."

Ji Fuyou paused for a moment: "Coming to this dimensional space is not a difficult thing."

"It's not a difficult thing at all..."

Lingxi looked at Ji Fuyou, who had indeed come to stand before her, and her divine sense surged. After a while, she said again, "Your ability to reach this place proves that you are qualified to become a Star God."

"I know."

Ji Fuyou raised his head slightly, his gaze seemingly traversing endless space, looking towards a deeper realm: "I know that if I'm willing, I can become a Star God, become... an existence like the Eternal Light of the Nine Heavens..."

He paused, then said, "It should still be a bit lacking. Zhou Guang might be even stronger than a newly promoted Star God."

After saying that, he added, "Two levels stronger."

"you know!?"

Lingxi suddenly became agitated: "What inheritance did He give you?"

But then, the demigod found it unbelievable: "How could He give you such a legacy!?"

"Perhaps, He only wanted to give me the ability to fight you, so that I wouldn't perish at your hands before He awakens again, or perhaps..."

Ji Fuyou pondered for a moment: "The last success made Him feel that living again was not a difficult thing. Even if He gave me a certain inheritance, by the time I grow up to the point where I might threaten Him, He will have already been resurrected and restored to his full power."

"The power at its peak... the light of the universe!?"

Lingxi had already realized this by this time.

"Zhouguang" is not a name, but a realm.

The realm of the Star Gods.

"good."

Ji Fuyou nodded slightly: "In fact, comprehending the perfect realm should qualify one to become a Star God, but... it's just a qualification. To truly ascend smoothly, enter higher dimensions, and become a Star God, there are other requirements, such as comprehending the power of the void to the seventh level, or perhaps other factors. Even after ascension, such a Star God is only considered the most basic Star God. Beyond that..."

He summarized the information he had gained through the light of sincerity over the past fifteen years.

"Above that, I'm at my current level. If I were to ascend to a higher dimension, the difficulty would be much less, and after a period of consolidation, I could leapfrog a stage..."

After saying that, he shook his head again: "Of course, this is just my guess. The specifics are still uncertain, and there may be other requirements involved."

"Then... what about the next realm? The next realm is the realm where the Eternal Light resides!?"

Lingxi was somewhat shaken.

"Correct."

Ji Fuyou nodded: "Using one's own star power to transform into the radiance that illuminates the universe, this is the light of the universe!"

He paused for a moment, then added, "At the same time, this should also be the highest realm among the Star Gods!"

"The highest realm among Star Gods..."

Lingxi murmured to herself, "One of the most powerful star gods... So, all along, what we've been trying to refute is actually such a great being."

There is no distinction between strong and weak.

Ji Fuyou said, "No matter how strong our opponents are, in order to survive, we have no choice but to fight to the end."

"Fight to the end..."

Lingxi glanced at Ji Fuyou.

They have their reasons for fighting to the end.

If you don't resist, you'll only die.

Can float in season...

Yet he has the potential to become a disciple of such a great being...

Should we continue the fight?
At this moment, the demigod seemed to vaguely realize something.

Perhaps this is the reason why this miraculously powerful individual was able to grow to such a level so quickly.

He never truly gave up. No matter what kind of opponent he faced, he remained true to himself and steadfast in his beliefs.

It took a while for Lingxi's surging emotions to gradually subside.

He looked at Ji Fuyou and slowly said, "Then, come, let me experience the power that is second only to the God of the Universe."

"as you wish."

Ji Fuyou went directly to Lingxi.

Without him making any unnecessary movements, in the blink of an eye, the star power on this demigod's body was drawn out at an incredible speed and quickly poured into Ji Fuyou's direction.

This scene made Lingxi's pupils shrink.

His enormous body suddenly swung, and instantly, an energy powerful enough to extinguish a star in the material world, transmitted through the laws of the void, reached the speed of light in the material world and crashed into Ji Fuyou.

However, just as the beam of light was about to strike Ji Fuyou's body, the space in front of him expanded layer by layer, as if turning into a viscous swamp.

Under the attrition and mitigation of this void power, the immense energy, enough to extinguish a star, gradually stagnated before Ji Fuyou, visible to the naked eye.

When they arrived right in front of Ji Fuyou, they stopped completely.

He also reached out and touched the energy slightly.

This energy, enough to create a legendary fifth-tier being, dispersed into countless starlight rays, flying towards his fingertips and merging into them within a single breath.

The entire process, apart from granting Ji Fuyou a surge of star power sufficient to save him three to five years of accumulated experience, had absolutely no impact on him.

"my power……"

This scene caused Lingxi's massive body to tremble slightly.

The next moment, an even more dazzling and brilliant light emanated from His body. Hundreds, even thousands of beams of energy, only slightly weaker than before, transformed into pillars of light, traveling at the speed of light…

It even traversed the void at faster-than-light speed, aiming directly at Ji Fuyou's body.

Any one of these beams of light possesses the power to destroy a planet, and could even directly shatter the internal structure of a sun, causing it to collapse from the inside out and ultimately explode as a supernova.

Because, in addition to energy and speed, each beam of light contains a destructive force capable of disintegrating any material structure, an equalizing force that reverses its balance, and so on.

However, even as so many pillars of starlight rained down upon him like a storm, Ji Fuyou's expression remained unchanged.

He did not block all the beams of light immediately.

Because he knew that the outburst of this energy had exceeded the limit of what he could withstand.

However, by utilizing the power of the void, he was able to move nimbly through these pillars of light, avoiding them. He even used the power of time to cut through the thousands of pillars of light that were shooting at him, causing all the pillars of light to hit him at different points in time.

This kind of cutting gives him enough means to calmly face any wave of light.

finally……

He avoided more than half of these beams of light, but he refined the other half one by one with the power of time, causing the total amount of star power in his body to surge again.

"call!"

A direct attack is ineffective.

Burst-style multi-attacks are ineffective.

The demigod Lingxi took a deep breath, and her body suddenly expanded by a large margin. Countless starlight illuminated the surroundings, making her size seem to reach tens of millions of kilometers, or even hundreds of millions of miles, at this moment.

However, Ji Fuyou knew that this was an illusion of the demigod.

The illusory image descended, completely engulfing the space where Ji Fuyou was. Then, the power of the illusory image began to condense and contract, pressing down on Ji Fuyou's location layer by layer, seemingly trying to completely crush his body.

"It's no use. No matter how big a piece of tofu is, it can't break a nail, even if the weight difference between the two is hundreds or thousands of times."

Ji Fuyou drastically reduced his own power.

With absolute control over the power of the mind, a flawless form sculpted by a perfect realm, and with my heart as a mirror reflecting the weaknesses of the demigod Lingxi's attacks...

With a single, effortless step, he broke through the offensive launched by the demigod Ling Xi, whose illusory image spanned hundreds of millions of miles and collapsed.

That feeling...

It's like a steel needle puncturing a balloon several meters in diameter.

easy.

Seeing Ji Fuyou escape so easily, Lingxi stopped making any further moves.

He had already shown all his skills, but he couldn't do anything to Ji Fuyou.

Given that He has to expend enormous energy with each attack, the outcome of continuing the fight is already predetermined.

Even if He could sustain such consumption, it would be meaningless.

Because His repeated attacks not only failed to harm Ji Fuyou, but also allowed Ji Fuyou to seize the opportunity to refine the enormous star power within His body. If He continued to fight, Ji Fuyou would only become stronger and stronger.

After a long while, the demigod began to emit spiritual fluctuations again: "Is this the realm of a Star God?"

"Yes."

Ji Fuyou nodded slightly.

"Therefore, the direction I originally chose was always wrong."

Lingxi sighed.

"I cannot give an answer. Perhaps reaching an absolutely enormous and inexhaustible scale is one direction, and continuously improving one's own realm to achieve absolute control over energy is another, but..."

Ji Fuyou said, "As long as that Eternal Light truly revives, He can take back the power in your body at any time."

"No wonder that great being didn't take anything I did seriously at all."

After Lingxi finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Ji Fuyou: "You will defeat Him, won't you?"

"In order to live up to the future and not waste this life, I have been cultivating diligently all these years, defeating countless opponents and slaying millions of powerful enemies. I dare not slacken in the slightest, all for the sake of standing in front of him one day..."

Ji Fuyou said emphatically, "Face him head-on, challenge him... and then defeat him and surpass him!"
