Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 149 The Main Hall
"Divine consciousness".

Ji Fuyou quietly sensed the difference between divine consciousness and spiritual power.

If mental power is like seeing an object, then divine sense is like touching that object.

At this moment, if he could obtain objects and materials that were highly compatible with his divine sense and forge them into a flying sword, he could control the sword with his divine sense and kill enemies from a hundred paces away.

Furthermore, when the spirit value is further increased to 30, the strength of the divine sense rises to a whole new level, refining the illusory into the real and turning the illusory into the real. Even without using special materials, one can still control objects with divine sense and kill enemies invisibly.

"I currently lack the materials to forge a flying sword and cannot materialize the power of my divine sense. However, by cultivating my divine sense, my control over my physical body will reach a whole new level."

He felt his divine sense controlling his physical body: "Next, the initial stage of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration can be used as an explosive secret technique. As long as you are careful, apart from the large consumption, it will hardly cause any overload."

This gave him more confidence in the upcoming fertile defense of the hunt.

"Let's find another spot, take a break, and continue searching for the Fertile Guard!"

Ji Fuyou said in the present moment.

Liu Yiren stepped forward: "We just calculated that although this palace is interconnected, there are actually eight entrances and exits. In other words, there will be a total of eight guards."

"Eight guards..."

The quantity is very small.

Furthermore, it is foreseeable that the teams of Fengyulou, He Qilin, Xiao Jiuge, and Gu Yinbing should all have the strength to confront Fengwo Guard.

They need to hurry.

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are still guards inside the central hall."

Liu Yiren added.

"Central Hall".

Ji Fuyou glanced ahead and said, "Yang Kaitai needs to recuperate. You take him to the room next door to rest. I'll go check out the main hall."

"it is good."

Liu Yiren nodded.

"Be careful."

Fang Qiyun offered a reminder.

Xiao Hanxue was eager to go too.

Ji Fuyou said, "You are the only martial artist among us who is capable of fighting the Fengwo monster alone. You must shoulder the responsibility of protecting Yang Kaitai."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hanxue immediately stood up straight: "Captain, rest assured, I will never let Yang Kaitai suffer any harm."

Ji Fuyou nodded to her.

They immediately broke away from the group and headed straight ahead.

Watching Ji Fuyou leave, Liu Yiren couldn't help but sigh, "The captain should form a team with Fengyulou and He Qilin. Only when they join forces can it be considered a true alliance of strength."

Fang Qiyun nodded, but did not speak.

The group of guards helped Yang Kaitai clean up the battlefield and quickly hid in a nearby room.

……

On the other side, Ji Fuyou headed towards the central hall.

Along the way, he encountered many fertile warriors.

But with his current abilities, three or five Fertile warriors couldn't do anything to him.

Not to mention that he can use the Illusionary Shadowless Technique to launch sneak attacks, even in a head-on confrontation, he can defeat these monsters. It's just that he needs to use the half-disintegrated form of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, which will consume one white body source crystal.

In about half an hour, Ji Fuyou had pushed the cart for three or four kilometers.

Finally, a vast shadow, almost filling the entire fog, appeared in his field of vision.

As Ji Fuyou approached, the first thing he saw was a huge stone pillar with a diameter of over six meters.

The stone pillars were carved with exquisite patterns, piercing straight into the mist, and even with Ji Fuyou's spiritual perception, he could not reach the end.

Therefore, the height of this stone pillar is at least sixty meters.

With such enormous stone pillars, one can only imagine how tall and magnificent this hall must be.

"This should be the main hall."

Ji Fuyou's thoughts drifted.

Upon entering the central hall, he felt that the biggest problem was the number of abundant monsters.

many!
Countless!
Even with his Illusionary Shadowless Technique and his transformed mental strength, which allowed him to detect the monsters' patrol routes in advance and constantly dodge the monsters coming and going around him, he still felt like he couldn't make any progress.

After all, although the fog obstructs vision, some blurry shadows can still be seen from ten meters away.

The Illusionary Shadowless Technique can evade aura and mental perception, but it cannot evade direct eyewitness accounts.

Ji Fuyou wandered around the perimeter of the central hall for about half an hour before having to retreat.

"There are too many, we can't dive in any further!"

Ji Fuyou used his Illusionary Shadowless Technique to the fullest extent and retreated.

but……

Although he failed to infiltrate the core of the central hall and meet the Flourishing Master, he confirmed two key pieces of information.

Firstly, the central hall does indeed still have the presence of Fengwo guards.

Second...

The Fengwo tribe is performing some kind of ritual.

Because of this ritual, only a small number of warriors remained patrolling the perimeter of the temple, while most of the warriors were concentrated in the main hall.

Conservative estimates suggest that the number of abundant monsters in this great hall exceeds five thousand.

This is a number that no single squad can possibly contend with.

He even compared the number of hunters who signed up...

The number of Fertile monsters will only exceed the number of hunters.

With the message in hand, Ji Fuyou withdrew from the central hall.

Soon, he reunited with Liu Yiren, Yang Kaitai, Fang Qiyun, Guan Yue, and Xiao Hanxue.

After more than an hour of meditation, Yang Kaitai's mental state has improved a lot, but it will take several more hours for him to fully recover.

During this period, he could only be used as a martial artist with slightly sharper senses.

Hearing Ji Fuyou's description of the central hall, everyone felt heavy-hearted.

"Thousands upon thousands... especially since these monsters are all clustered together, how are we supposed to fight them!?"

Fang Qiyun felt unparalleled pressure.

In a one-on-one situation, she might not even be able to defeat a single Fertile Warrior. Yet, in the central hall, there are five or six thousand monsters of this level!?

It also includes quite a few elite fire monsters and Fertile Guardians!?

As for the Fiery Lord, it goes without saying that he is a monster that inspires despair just by thinking about him.

"The difficulty of the Trial Grounds is too high."

Xiao Hanxue couldn't help but mutter, "It's abnormally high."

Fang Qiyun, Liu Yiren, and Guan Yue nodded in deep agreement.

Is it possible that this trial is not aimed at our class?

Yang Kaitai said in a deep voice: "What's really being targeted are the Federation's master-level martial artists!"

"The entire Federation combined couldn't even muster five or six thousand master-level martial artists, not even one-tenth of that."

Xiao Hanxue said.

"The problem now is that the standard for passing the trial is to kill the Fiery Lord. What will happen if we don't kill this monster?"

Liu Yiren glanced at Ji Fuyou: "Are we going to be trapped in the Fengwo Temple and never be able to get out?"

"Things are not so bad as to be beyond repair."

Ji Fuyou glanced at Yang Kaitai: "Let's try another route and see if we can hunt one or two more Fertile Guardians. Once all the Fertile Guardians have been hunted down, we can try to rendezvous with the other teams."

After saying that, he added, "Thousands upon thousands of Fertile Monsters are not something any single team can fight. All survivors must unite to quickly wipe them out."

"Quickly eliminate..."

Yang Kaitai quickly realized Ji Fuyou's implication and looked at him in surprise: "You mean..."

"The Fengwo Temple is so grand, you don't really think that the entire Fengwo tribe only has a few thousand or ten thousand people, do you?"

Ji Fuyou said, "A civilization capable of building such a magnificent temple must have at least a million members, even if each one possessed a physique comparable to a master-level martial artist! If there is more than one such temple, I wouldn't be surprised if the Fengwo tribe has tens of millions of members!"

Ten million fertile warriors!?

This number immediately caused everyone to gasp in shock.

If the Fengwo tribe truly had so many warriors and generals, they would certainly have sought help from outside as soon as the temple was attacked, and once these reinforcements arrived...

With their combined inside and outside forces, all the hunters in this trial ground will perish under the monstrous horde tactics of the Fertile Clan.

"go!"

Yang Kaitai quickly got up.

Guan Yue had also packed his things.

The team set off again, took a detour, and headed straight for another passage.

However, when the group arrived in this area, they encountered very few Fertile Warriors.

As they approached the central hall, one person emerged from the mist.

"Military mission, please halt."

He issued the order directly, and at the same time, he activated the power of his master-level martial arts.

As expected, the military dispatched a special operations team into the trial grounds to gather information.

Ji Fuyou and his companions immediately took another detour.

This time, they encountered a large number of hunters again.

After making a few inquiries, it turned out that these hunters had all come with the Wind and Rain Tower team.

This is the most famous person among all the participants in the Trial Grounds.

He was as famous as Wu Rendi, the president of the Martial Arts Association.

One is the Mad Saber of the South, the other the Divine Spear of the North!

He led his squad to clear out the monsters ahead, and these ordinary hunters, who were aware of the dangers of the Trial Grounds, naturally followed behind willingly.

It may not make the list, but at least its safety is guaranteed.

"Let's try a different direction."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he continued to take a detour with Yang Kaitai and the others.

The entire central hall can accommodate thousands of abundant monsters, covering an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers. The nearest fork in the road is several kilometers away from the central hall, and going around it would probably take more than ten kilometers.

Fortunately, when he circled around to the next opening, Ji Fuyou finally found an opening where many hunters were hiding.

These people seemed to have been beaten into submission and hid somewhere, no longer daring to show themselves easily.

After traveling less than two kilometers along this path, the Fertile Guard, covered in dark red symbols, came into view.

The difference is that this Fertile Guardian is not acting alone, but is accompanied by four fiery monsters with crimson bodies, as well as dozens of Fertile Warriors.

This lineup...

"You all retreat and set up crossbows. Liu Yiren, be careful to use poison. I'll try to lure out the Fertile Guardian one by one. If that doesn't work, lure out the Fertile monsters next to it one by one and eliminate them."

Ji Fuyou began to give instructions.

Everyone immediately retreated.

Ji Fuyou then used the Illusionary Shadowless Technique to head towards the fertile guard.

He remained cautious, approaching carefully.

The Fengwo Guardian's senses were noticeably sharper than those of other monsters. Ji Fuyou activated a slight Soul-Suppressing Spell to stimulate it, and the guard had already sensed it.

However, the Soul-Suppressing Spell, which was not activated at full power, did not cause any damage to the Fertile Guardians at all.

He did not take action himself, but instead commanded a fire monster to lead a team of eight Fertile Warriors and Brave Warriors to explore in the direction of Ji Fuyou.

This scene left Ji Fuyou slightly disappointed.

We can't attract them.

Then we'll have to clear out the surrounding common Fertile monsters first.

As he pondered, he began to slowly retreat.

but……

When he retreated some distance, he seemed to sense something and quickly returned.

As he strode through the fog, covering over a hundred meters, he was astonished to see Yang Kaitai and his group confronting each other!

The atmosphere between the two sides...

Tensions.

The leader of this team was none other than Luo Suyu, a powerful figure from Haizhou who had once temporarily topped the Heavenly Ranking.
