Chapter 704: Chapter 698: Vacuum Spirit [Supreme of Destiny]!
Ma Ran once used his prophetic ability to see the Demon Nest List on the Purple Jade Stele within the Divine Court.
Behind every marked demon nest civilization, there was a label with a derogatory trait.
The "Deception" of the You Civilization, the "Cruelty" of the Earth Civilization, the "Impurity" of the Dragon Civilization, the "Laziness" of the Parasite Spirit Civilization...
All these could be understood.
A single sentence, describing the pinnacle of deception in the Extraordinary Sequence.
Dragons have a lustful nature, supposedly one dragon can propagate a civilization.
The Parasite Spirit, Ma Ran gleaned some useful information through foreknowledge—the so-called Parasite Spirit shares a high similarity with the "system" often seen in Chinese online literature, relying on a "host" to survive, never acting alone.
But the Superpower Civilization...
Based on Ma Ran’s brief interaction with this force, they were more cowardly than anyone, having nothing to do with "arrogance".
Clearly powerful enough, yet whenever they sensed danger, they would immediately flee, fearing someone would trace back to their origin.
Even considering the two profound terms "Human Subspecies" and "Humanity", which forcibly linked them with arrogance, it seemed a bit far-fetched.
Now, Ma Ran finally understood why the word "Arrogance" was marked after the Superpower Civilization on the Demon Nest List.
The Xilin before him was the most representative figure of the Superpower Civilization.
The Seven Supreme Rulers in the Divine Court represent the most powerful combat force in the cosmos, information Ma Ran didn’t plan to share.
"Now, can I die?"
Xilin was startled for a moment, then came back to his senses, a mocking smile curling at his lips: "Who do you think I am?"
"I am the Thirty Thousand Years’ Ruler of the Superpower Civilization, the Immortal, the Master of All Laws, the Immortal Soul, the Controller of Wind, Fire, Thunder, Water, Light, and Darkness!"
"Perhaps my previous performance led you to a misperception."
"Indeed, you’re quite smart, your Sixth Sense so strong it even surprises me."
"But..."
"You previously overcame Chi Xiao because among the upper-ranked gods of the Divine Court, he is the most eccentric and unique. He pursued amusement and even intentionally went easy, ’losing’ to some top Extraordinary Ones in numerous duels."
"But those Extraordinary Ones were eventually, without exception, wiped out by the Demon Eradicating Legion of the Divine Court."
Xilin sneered: "Though the conduct of those guys dooms the Divine Court to destruction, I must admit the combat strength of the upper-ranked gods is indeed absurdly high."
"Do you think that because Chi Xiao went easy and you achieved a small victory, you possess the ability to contend with the upper-ranked gods?"
"No."
"In the past three hundred thousand years, aside from a few in the Divine Court, there hasn’t been anyone like that."
"You’re no exception."
"And I, Xilin, am unmatched under the upper rank gods!"
In fact, another appeared in the Chuanke Civilization sixteen thousand years ago, but in Xilin’s view, that guy’s temporary dominance was purely due to luck, hitting Chi Xiao and getting intentionally "let loose" to narrowly survive.
And that guy named "Ke", his luck manifested in his short lifespan.
Because his life was brief, he soon died, leaving behind a legend of matching an upper-ranked god.
In the Chuanke Civilization, "Ke" was even praised to the extent of "exceeding an upper-ranked god."
Ma Ran?
From a probabilistic standpoint, there’s no way to reach the level of an upper-ranked god!
He might survive under Chi Xiao’s hand, but he would definitely be hunted down and killed by Qing Dai and Zhu Ding, ultimately having no chance of survival at all, with the only difference being the length of the process.
"So many titles..."
Ma Ran blinked. Compared to Xilin, he only had the titles of Prophet and Ice River Immortals, feeling somewhat overshadowed.
The other titles the guy had didn’t matter much, but the "Immortal Soul" sounded kind of cool.
He was a bit envious of that name.
After all...
Living means infinite possibilities.
Ma Ran shook his head, focusing his thoughts: "Xilin, you’re afraid of the upper-ranked gods of the Divine Court but not afraid of me, what’s the reason?"
As he spoke, Ma Ran’s eyes shimmered with a silver light: "Your nineteen core abilities are all ineffective against me, and there’s no need to even try the over five hundred secondary abilities."
"Honestly..."
"Your three hundred thousand years were in vain."
With such experience and lifespan given to Su Qiangwei, she could at least master over one billion superpowers, even summarize and combine them, truly understanding and mastering their power.
With the same conditions, Su Qiangwei could kill Xilin as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs.
"Now, I send you into oblivion first, then proceed to greet the next ’guest’."
With that, Ma Ran snapped his fingers.
The Multiplication Ability of Ye Fengqing’s Timeless Territory activated suddenly!
Outside of it, an additional layer of the Prophetic Burning Shadow and the Sword Master’s Concept of Slaughtering Power covered.
Triple Burial!
Not because Xilin was strong, but because...
Ma Ran wanted to showcase this combat strength to a certain masked Audience.
Xilin felt a bit confused in his mind.
The two numbers Ma Ran mentioned were too precise, too exact.
Such intelligence acumen made him a bit terrified.
In a flash, Xilin plotted to shatter the space barrier, instantly teleport away to another corner of the cosmos, completely distancing himself from this dangerous figure Ma Ran.
However...
In an instant, Xilin sorrowfully realized he had lost control over his body, abilities, and even his soul.
It was as if time had pressed the pause button.
Xilin felt himself submerged in the long river of time, unable to move an inch, only allowed to gradually decay into oblivion under the erosion of temporal droplets.
The first to disappear was his superpower.
Then the massive life force plundered and refined over three hundred thousand years.
Ultimately, Xilin’s so-called immortal soul also decayed and perished, dissipating completely within the river of time.
In a fleeting moment, Xilin’s three hundred thousand years of light and accumulation were completely plundered by Ma Ran.
"The soul collapsed, huh..."
"Sure enough, what ’Immortal Soul’, was exaggerated."
Ma Ran shook his head, watching Xilin’s remains gradually shattering into dust in the vacuum, becoming almost imperceptible cosmic dust.
At this moment, Xilin’s final words, already passed away, echoed around.
"I also have the Power of Time, but it’s not of this high priority..."
"Damn it!"
"If I had enough time to securely develop, with my talent and endowment, I would definitely reach the level of an upper-ranked god, perhaps even surpass an upper-ranked god!"
Xilin’s unwilling voice finally completely faded between heaven and earth.
Ma Ran had to admit, this Xilin was indeed strong, directly taking one of his attacks, yet still leaving last words before dying.
Though, it’s not the time to think about those things now.
Because...
The cold laughter of that Audience lurking in the shadows had already resonated in Ma Ran’s heart.
"Arrogance, ignorance, and foolishness are the three demon seeds I despise most,"
"You killed him, very good."
"To express my gratitude, I will bestow upon you an honorable and painless death."
In the cold cosmos, spawned a multitude of Vacuum Spirits. Even without a medium, they could precisely convey messages, and these words came from them.
The Vacuum Spirits vanished as soon as they appeared, their life existing only for an instant. They blossomed fleetingly and withered momentarily. As if fate willed it—their birth’s mission and meaning were only to deliver these three sentences.
The domineering voice, both unfamiliar and familiar, made Ma Ran immediately recognize the other’s identity.
It was the Supreme of Destiny, Zhu Ding!
