Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 122 Invincible Body
Many items, once their price reaches the billion level, become virtually impossible to measure in monetary terms.

Such transactions almost always involve added value.

Let alone materials related to military force, even in business cooperation, a 10 billion yuan equity swap will often take into account whether the channels behind the new shareholders can bring positive development to the company.

That's true for 100 billion! And for 10 billion, it's even more outrageous!
Once a transaction reaches the 1000 billion level, each transaction involves business planning, and may even involve industry reshuffling and national strategic policies at the highest levels.

It can no longer be viewed as a simple transaction.

Moreover, this level of funding is more of a projection of one party's influence over another.

If this level of investment is between a large country and a small country, it represents direct control over the lifeline of that industry, regardless of the sector it falls into.

This is the weight of 1000 billion!
Despite the Fang family's reputation as a family with assets worth hundreds of billions, the Sanjiu Group behind them has a market value of several hundred billion.

But everyone knows how much of the hundreds of billions in market capitalization and valuation is inflated.

However, if such a family encounters problems, it will lead to the unemployment of 10 people, indirectly impacting 100 million jobs, forcing supply chain and related companies to lay off 100 million employees, and thus affecting the economic situation of more than 300 million people.

The unemployment rate in Chiyang City, including several surrounding cities, has soared by 5%, and the sharp decline in tax revenue is affecting the city's development prospects. The city's GDP will be dragged down by 10%!

This could trigger a systemic collapse in their industries, impacting the entire country.

This is the power of 1000 billion!

Currently, all 1000 billion yuan is concentrated in this small heirloom crystal.

Ji Fuyou paused for a moment while holding the crystal.

Even though his mindset had changed, he couldn't help but admire the brilliance and charm of the crystal for a while longer.

but……

It only took a breath or two.

Without further hesitation, he began to receive the inheritance from the crystal.

The next moment, a body-refining technique called "True Body of the Overlord" was infused into his mind.

This body-refining technique...

After a short while, Ji Fuyou was completely captivated by the various mystical elements contained within it.

This is a technique that, once mastered, allows the practitioner's body to enter a state similar to "overlord body".

Injuries to the human body will inevitably bring a series of negative effects such as pain, weakness, fear, and powerlessness.

The true form of a hegemon can minimize the impact of such negative effects on itself, even to the point of near immunity.

Even if a hole is blasted into his body, he can still jump around like nothing happened.

Moreover, cultivators who master the true form of a hegemon will see their physical body reach a new level in terms of "strength," which can be seen as a significant increase in their resistance to attacks or their defensive capabilities.

Based on this characteristic, this body-refining secret technique has also given rise to the "Dominating the World" charge combat skill.

When this combat skill is used, the Overlord's True Form is activated to the extreme, increasing his own strength, that is, his resistance to blows and impacts, by at least 5 points, or even 10 points of physical strength!
With the momentum of a charge, it erupts in full force, dominating the world and smashing all opponents in its path.

Especially when he hits the target, his kinetic energy is converted into a special force that blasts into the target's body, causing a severe "shock" effect.

Right now……

Even if the opponent's physique is strong enough to withstand the overwhelming force of the impact, the force transformed from that charging momentum can still shake every corner of his body in a "vibrating force" manner, shaking him until his whole body is broken apart and he loses the ability to resist for a short time.

"This is truly a body-refining combat technique that uses the body as a weapon, and is absolutely domineering!"

After digesting this Overlord's True Form, Ji Fuyou was deeply shaken.

If he had possessed this body-refining combat technique before confronting the Corpse Demon King, he wouldn't have needed to activate the Heavenly Demon Disintegration technique to a half-disintegration state. With a single move, he could have reached the Corpse Demon King and sent him flying with the power of the Overlord's True Body.

After all, even with a 5-point physique bonus, he would still have a physique strength of over 31 points.

but……

"To roam the world freely, one must first reach a physique of 30 or higher to use the body as a weapon... Only when the physique exceeds 30 points can the Transformation Force be developed into a passive skill-like counter-force... If one forces its use when the physique is below 30 points, it will inevitably place a great burden on oneself..."

Ji Fuyou composed himself.

The more powerful the skill, the more demanding the requirements are on the user.

The Heavenly Demon disintegrated in this way.

The same applies to the true form of the Overlord.

"If the true form of the Overlord cannot be achieved, then what about this one?"

Ji Fuyou turned his gaze back to the blue skill crystal.

Through his mental perception, he also gained a thorough understanding of this skill.

However, the contents of the document surprised him somewhat.

"This is... an illusion technique!?"

The Illusion Technique can effectively conceal and alter one's state of being by understanding illusion and reality, making it impossible for the opponent to detect one's true form and aura. It can also mislead the enemy's judgment of one's location and aura.

However, just like almost all the spirit-refining techniques in visualization methods are simplified from skills in skill crystals, this skill crystal...

It is clearly the predecessor of the Illusion Technique.

"Illusory Immortal Technique".

Ji Fuyou's thoughts drifted.

Compared to the simplified version of the Illusionary Truth Technique, this complete Illusionary Truth Shadowless Technique raises the cultivation requirement to 20 mental units.

The level of sophistication has also improved significantly.

Through the process of skill inheritance, he instantly mastered the previous Illusion Technique and, based on the foundation of the Illusion Technique, further elevated the Illusion Shadowless Technique to a level close to minor mastery.

A thought arises, and the spirit flows.

His entire concept of "existence" was reduced to an unprecedented low.

Let alone ordinary people, even intermediate or even advanced mental energy users would probably instinctively ignore his presence if they passed by him.

"It is truly an unparalleled divine skill for stealth assassination."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

The two skill crystals became the foundation for his further advancement.

He used the blue spiritual crystal without reservation. A long-lost cool sensation washed over him, and he quickly confirmed his spiritual growth.

21.4→21.9!

It increased by 0.5!

When he first came out of Huanglong Cave, his mental state was 21.3 seconds. However, when he gained self-awareness and truly overwhelmed the dream with reality, his mental state underwent a subtle change.

It increased by 0.1 seconds.

Now, with this Spirit Source Crystal added to the mix...

We're just one step away from reaching the 22-minute mark of spiritual enlightenment.

However, to become a Spirit Master, one needs to use 5 to 6 Red Spirit Crystals.

This step became an insurmountable barrier blocking all spiritual beings.

Ji Fuyou was no exception.

He didn't know how many more times he would need to elevate his spirit to the level of a spiritual master at the age of 30.

at the moment……

"Let's deal with those ordinary corpse demons who possess white spiritual source crystals first."

With this thought in mind, Ji Fuyou began to wander through the alleyways.

Soon, a corpse demon appeared in front of him.

The alley was very narrow, and there was no way to avoid it.

but……

Ji Fuyou's mind stirred, and he activated the Shadowless Technique.

He minimized his own blood circulation and mental fluctuations, and gently and slowly approached the corpse demon.

This corpse demon...

no response.

It seemed that it didn't realize something until Ji Fuyou was less than 3 meters away from it, and it looked puzzled.

Even when its gaze swept over Ji Fuyou, it still did not launch an attack.

finally……

Ji Fuyou maintained his Shadowless state and quietly walked past it.

The whole process was somewhat exciting, but no conflict broke out between the person and the corpse.

"It's amazing."

Ji Fuyou couldn't help but say something.

When one's spirit reaches level 20, the "Resonance" talent will emerge.

The Illusionary Shadowless Technique works by utilizing this "resonance" to confuse the target's perception of him, making them perceive him as a rock, flowing water, a gentle breeze, or a tree. Naturally, the target will then refrain from attacking him.

"In this way, I can minimize the variables that may occur during the hunt each time I hunt those high-value beasts and monsters."

Ji Fuyou pondered.

This ability, if properly developed, has enormous potential.

After escaping the Corpse Demon's perception range, Ji Fuyou increased his speed and continued to traverse the alleyways.

Before long, he arrived at the nearest Corpse Demon, Number 1.

Compared to the Corpse Demon King, the Corpse Demon's attributes are undoubtedly much lower.

Having just learned the "True Form of the Overlord," Ji Fuyou, on a whim, estimated the distance between the No. 1 Corpse Demons, and the next moment...

Taking big strides, starting to accelerate!
In just three steps, his speed had already reached a certain extreme.

When the 2.2-meter-tall corpse demon also keenly sensed his presence and turned around...

As Ji Fuyou landed on the ground with his fourth step, his entire body erupted with power.

Body tensed!

Dominate the world!

The soil beneath their feet was trampled apart, sending stone chips flying everywhere.

Using the force of that step, he was like a cannonball, instantly covering the distance of just over ten meters between himself and the corpse demon.

"Roar!"

Before the corpse demon could even let out a scream, Ji Fuyou's body had already crashed heavily into the corpse demon's body.

The added strength and impact resistance, plus the power from running at full speed...

This enormous monster, measuring a full 2.2 meters and weighing probably 200 kilograms, was sent flying by the violent force, crashing heavily into the wall and sending up a cloud of dirt and dust.

The Corpse Demon had a sturdy physique and excellent defense, so the impact wouldn't kill it outright. However, the shockwave from its rampage through the world exploded within its body, making it dizzy and weak, causing it to freeze for a moment...

In that instantaneous pause, Ji Fuyou's cold steel sword pierced through the void like lightning tearing through the mist, instantly pinning its head down and delivering a fatal blow to the corpse demon.

The whole process...

Less than a breath!
But killing the corpse demon made Ji Fuyou gasp in shock.

"hiss!"

The "Dominating the World" skill is ultimately a combat technique that can only be used when one's physique is at least 30. He only has 26 physique points, so forcing him to use it...

The corpse demon's body was nearly shattered from the impact, and he himself was not much better off.

I stood there breathing for a while before I could catch my breath.

"Unless you have a spare white source crystal, you really can't force it."

He reminded himself of this.

Only then did he step forward and extract the white spiritual source crystal from the corpse demon's body.
