The enemies on both sides also drew closer, clearly preparing to make their move.
At that mont, Ji Xinghuo suddenly turned and descended into a large white cloud bank, blocking the trio’s vision. The female Dan person was very cautious and did not follow into the clouds but flapped her wings to circle around, attempting to keep her targets locked.
However, when she reached below the clouds, she could not see Ji Xinghuo and cast an inquiring glance at her two teammates.
Both of them shook their heads slightly from afar.
The female Dan person was baffled. With the Deserter’s descent speed being so fast and the clouds not being thick, how had he stopped in such a short distance? Could he be invisible?
"Be careful!"
A Dan person suddenly shouted.
An arrow, like an electric arc, shot out of the clouds, traveling more than twice the speed of sound of a Dragon Guard tier seven, which as an archer, the female Dan person detected without needing her teammates’ warning. She quickly flapped her wings to accelerate and dodged downward.
"To think of hitting from this distance, that’s just..." the female Dan person, a Frost Shooter, was most proficient in Archery Skill.
She had not even finished her thought when the electric arc arrow instantly reached her, incredibly fast.
What shocked her even more was that this arrow could turn.
Crack!
The electric arc arrow, like a guided missile, precisely struck the female Dan person’s forehead. A thick layer of Ice Sealing Armor appeared but did not stop the arrow at all as it instantly pierced the armor and blew her head apart.
Before she was killed, two more electric arc arrows shot out from the clouds, each targeting another Dan person.
The Dan person who shouted "Be careful," had an arrow blast through his mouth.
The last Dan person reacted the fastest, desperately falling downward.
The electric arc arrow turned midflight and hit directly on the top of his head. Although he wore a Superpower Three Stars helt, and his skull was as hard as iron, it was still pierced by an arrow, and a high-voltage electric current burst in his brain, causing him to instantly lose consciousness.
All three Dan people died almost simultaneously.
Their bodies transford into ash-like light spots and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
[Spiritual Origin Energy 25]
[Spiritual Origin Energy 21]
[Spiritual Origin Energy 27]
Within that clump of clouds, Ji Xinghuo saw the notification from Wanxiang Star Pupil and his face imdiately stunned.
"Why is there Spiritual Origin Energy?" he wondered.
The Spiritual Illusion Realm is just a virtual world, where the entering entities are mind projections; even if killed, they only force an exit.
In the Spirit Realm World on Earth, death wouldn’t be much of an issue except causing so side effects if it happened too many tis along with an overly realistic death experience, which might leave psychological scars.
"Could the Spiritual Illusion Realm be different?"
Ji Xinghuo recalled Cheng Sheng ntioning that dying in the Spiritual Illusion Realm would cause a headache for so ti, could this be the reason?
The Destructive Dragon Festival was a ritual for the Dragon of the End, involving faith and believers.
In the past, Ji Xinghuo found that killing the believers of the Star God yielded significantly more Spiritual Origin Energy than non-believers and common monsters, such as the Highlanders on the Bloody Plateau, who were all believers of the Red Emperor.
People dying in the Destructive Dragon Festival would originally lose so spiritual energy.
This was originally ant for the Dragon of the End.
Now, it had been intercepted by him.
Thinking this, Ji Xinghuo suddenly had a chill run through his heart as he belatedly realized that Wanxiang Star Pupil actually involved the faith of the Star God!
The so-called Spiritual Origin Energy was possibly the energy required by the Star God, the source of mighty power!
"If the Star God were to notice..."
Ji Xinghuo dared not think deeper.
He involuntarily looked around. Titanium Ring City had just held The Ancestor Dragon Ritual and had drawn the attention of the Dragon of the End. Now that he was intercepting its things during the Destructive Dragon Festival, would he be discovered?
"I must be more cautious in the future," Ji Xinghuo muttered to himself, "I must not absorb any Spiritual Origin Energy that I shouldn’t."
Then he faced a dilemma.
Wanxiang Star Pupil absorbed Spiritual Origin Energy uncontrollably, as he could not shut it down actively.
"With so many believers of the Star God spread across the Star Realm and Galaxy, just this occurrence in the Destructive Dragon Festival involved over one hundred sixty thousand people; absorbing a little portion wouldn’t be noticed by the Dragon of the End, it’s just a drop in the ocean," he reassured himself.
Ji Xinghuo could only comfort himself with these thoughts.
He flew out of the cloud bank and continued to fall towards the ground.
While flying, he lightly tapped the terminal on his left wrist, an equipnt everyone automatically owned after entering the Spiritual Illusion Realm, which allowed him at any ti to check Dragon Guard seven’s satellite map, the kill rankings, and his own information.
The Destructive Dragon Festival encompassed not only the final survival rankings but also a leaderboard for kills, where prizes were awarded based on the final kill rankings.
Many people placed greater importance on the kill leaderboard, believing it to be a truer test of strength.
This was especially the case for the Dragon Lords.
They already owned True Dragons, hence they had little interest in the top ten, seeking instead to climb higher in the kill rankings.
Ji Xinghuo’s kill count was three, ranking him in the 200s.
The top target on the kill leaderboard was Titanium Cobalt Zhenhe, a familiar na, who had already eliminated 24 enemies.
The few individuals imdiately following him were all Dragon Lords.
Dragon Lords had a trendous advantage during descent, excelling in aerial combats, and they initiated their hunts the mont they left the spaceship.
Ji Xinghuo’s chosen landing site was in the Northern Hemisphere, over a hundred kiloters from the equator, below which lay a vast primitive forest featuring a continuous range of mountains that were not high, rising only a few hundred ters, and the geographical environnt was quite complex.
In areas of greater complexity, one could better leverage advantages from electromagnetic induction and dark perspective.
Ji Xinghuo did not decelerate until he was a thousand ters from the ground.
He then slowly landed on the top of a large tree, looking up at the sky as the spaceship drew closer in his field of vision, with people continually jumping down.
However, upon reaching the ground, everyone spread out widely, maintaining distance from others.
The range of his electromagnetic induction reached a hundred kiloters.
"1, 2, 3..."
Ji Xinghuo discovered that within a hundred kiloters of himself, there were over 2000 people who, like him, had chosen this primitive forest, most of whom either had exceptional perception or possessed strong stealth abilities.
Before entering the Spiritual Illusion Realm, his original plan was to be cautious, not intending to kill too many opponents.
Progressing step by step into the safe zone until he killed the last opponent.
Even with the knowledge of Spiritual Origin Ability, Ji Xinghuo now dared not absorb it recklessly, as this would be snatching food right under the Star God’s nose, which was too dangerous. Even killing a thousand opponents would only yield a little over 20,000 points of Spiritual Origin Ability, not worth the risk.
"Stick to the plan."
Ji Xinghuo entered invisibility mode atop the tree, waiting quietly.
A mont later.
The terminal notified everyone that all had left the spaceship, and the Dragon Guards began their destruction.
"Roar..."
A terrifying roar spread globally.
Ji Xinghuo’s spirit trembled as he looked towards the direction of the dragon roar, barely discerning a dragon shape that blotted out the sky rise from the horizon. Even though it was hundreds of kiloters away, the imnse dragon shape emanated a chilling aura.
"Slaughter Star Level True Dragon!"
Slaughter Star Level equated to a Seventh Rank Mutant, Dragon King, or Shepherd Star Saint.
This level of monster, Spiritual Objects, and True Dragons, was further divided into three Levels: Extinction, Destruction, and Star Destruction.
Extinction signified the destruction of a race on a planet; Destruction ant eradicating the planet’s surface, eliminating all traces of civilization; and Star Destruction was the complete obliteration of an entire planet, leaving nothing in existence.
The Destructive Dragon Festival featured a virtual "Destruction" level True Dragon, ravaging the surface of Dragon Guard 7.
This True Dragon would start randomly, orbiting around the planet, continually destroying the surface, reducing the safe zone more and more until no survivors remained, and in case more than one survived before the surface was entirely devastated, they would perish together, leaving no ultimate victor.
The surfaces ravaged by the Destruction True Dragon were uninhabitable.
In reality, no one could get close to a Destruction True Dragon; its Breath was so formidable that not even Shepherd Star Saints dared to resist it directly, and Legendary beings would die upon contact.
A few minutes later.
A terrifying dragon shape flew high above, growing larger, set against a gas giant occupying half the sky, it appeared like the Grim Reaper arriving.
Ji Xinghuo gasped in alarm.
"Black Fla Dragon!"
It belonged to the Fla Dragon Species, with scales that were pitch-black; magma-like flas erged from the vast gaps between its scales. Its wingspan exceeded a kiloter, and a pair of hundred-ter-long dragon horns swept back to form a horn crown; Its dragon eyes were blood-red, and its fearso dragon mouth spouted a several-thousand-ters-long black fla, destroying everything, leaving tens of kiloters wide scorched streaks on the ground.
From a distance, the Black Fla Dragon seed slow, but in fact, it flew faster than the speed of sound!
So mutants too slow to evade were touched by the Breath of black fla, instantly burned to ashes.
It was precisely flying towards Ji Xinghuo’s direction.
"Bad luck."
Ji Xinghuo shook his head, and while the Black Fla Dragon was still tens of kiloters away, he imdiately took flight to avoid its path of destruction.
