Chapter 709: Chapter 703: Get Off My Turf!
Chi Xiao was on the verge of going mad.
"Damn it! How can something like this... actually..."
If it weren’t for his resolute will, having experienced many ups and downs before attaining the position of [Supreme of Destiny], having stood on mountaintops and fallen into depths, honing an unparalleled faith, he might have collapsed on the spot when his arm was severed.
The severed arm by Ma Ran, the stump was shrouded in a powerful force of destiny.
This force was intense, stubborn, and extremely rebellious.
It even refused to obey Zhu Ding’s command, as if it had another higher priority ruler issuing it orders.
"Why are you helping the enemy?"
"You should listen to me!"
"Come back!"
"In the future, I’ll communicate with you often and won’t ignore you anymore!"
"Quick! Return!"
Destiny was originally Chi Xiao’s follower, his plaything.
No matter where he was, no matter the time, he could take as he pleases.
Furthermore, Zhu Ding was certain that even if he left this cosmos, going to other universes or planes, the power of destiny would still please him, flatter him, never abandoning him despite his cold demeanor.
But today, at this very moment, destiny betrayed him because of Ma Ran, because of a young native!
Zhu Ding looked at Ma Ran incredulously: "You bastard..."
Incomprehensible!
Unacceptable!
If supreme authority could be casually stolen, then could he still be called supreme?
The so-called supreme means having absolute control and dominion over similar abilities, mastering and perfectly utilizing all abilities of that sequence instinctively, exerting unreasonable [Absolute Suppression] and [Domination] over others of the same sequence.
Before coming to the Solar System, Zhu Ding mocked Mo Xing, considering the [Supreme of Time] as a poser among the Divine Court Masters.
Now, the same situation was happening to him.
Such a thing should never occur.
The operation track of destiny represents the universal laws of the cosmos and even the endless plane.
Unless...
Ma Ran’s rank was higher than Zhu Ding’s.
"What is so good about this guy? Why are you listening to his orders?"
Zhu Ding tried to make his tone calmer, but he no longer had the calm composure he once possessed.
After some unsuccessful attempts, he couldn’t help but shout hysterically: "Could it be because Ma Ran is the [True Demon], the Cosmic Annihilator, the crucial node of the Resurrected End, that you’re following him?"
"That’s not a reason for you to betray me!"
It was inappropriate to say, but Zhu Ding still recalled the words Chi Xiao taught him, "A wise bird chooses a good tree to nest in."
He wanted to instantly kill Ma Ran on the spot.
Once Ma Ran is dead, with no better "tree", this "wise bird" destiny can only choose him, right?
He’ll settle this score later!
Just as Zhu Ding was about to take action, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have temporarily lost the authority to command the power of destiny.
Not just that.
The power of destiny was even backlashing against him, dragging him back, unwilling to let him attack Ma Ran.
"Stop playing dead, answer me!"
Zhu Ding’s expression changed drastically, turning from red to black with a hint of green: "Aren’t the terms I’ve offered good enough?"
This was no longer a simple [Destruction of the Demon Nest].
If the power of destiny betrayed him, he was no longer special, just another ordinary [Supreme Ruler].
Even to kill those small fry Divine Emperors, Creator Gods, and World Destruction Gods would require some effort.
Zhu Ding glared viciously at Ma Ran as if he wanted to skin him, remove his bones, and drain his muscles, turning him into a corpse.
"Speak! What did you do to destiny to make it so devoted to you?"
Although the sudden situation made Zhu Ding’s head a bit unclear, he still knew very well who to threaten—attack what others care about the most: "If you don’t speak, I will utterly destroy Earth Civilization, killing every living being on this planet, even if I get hurt in the process!"
"Including..."
Zhu Ding added: "the [Battlefield Valkyrie] Su Qiangwei, who is most deeply entwined with your destiny!"
"If I want to kill her, you can’t stop me!"
As a certain song goes—what you can’t have is always in turmoil, what is favored has no fear.
After losing it, Zhu Ding deeply realized how important the power of destiny was to him.
Ma Ran’s gaze locked onto Zhu Ding, his eyes profound.
After a while, he smiled slightly.
This smile carried deep meaning, enveloping him in a mysterious mist, causing Zhu Ding’s heart to be alarmed and terrified, even producing a temporary impulse to retreat.
If not for his strong self-control, he might have immediately followed the example of Chi Xiao and Mo Xing, returning straight to the Divine Court station.
Ma Ran’s tone was calm, as if narrating an objective fact, showing no trace of anger: "First, let me correct one thing."
"Not the [Battlefield Valkyrie]."
"But the other of the [Ice River Immortals], [Martial God] Su Qiangwei."
"Secondly..."
"As long as I’m alive, you can’t harm a single hair on her head."
"Lastly."
A faint contemptuous smile appeared on Ma Ran’s face: "What did I do?"
"I just turned back time a little, retrieved the abilities that were originally mine, that’s all."
"True Demon?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
"It’s not important."
"The important thing is..."
"It’s today, right here."
"You’re dead."
"I, Ma Ran, said so!"
"Even the will of the great cosmos can’t save you!"
These words were not just a declaration to Zhu Ding, but also a warning to [Supreme of Time] Mo Xing, who was watching in the shadows.
If you’re going to fight, then fight with flair, have a thoroughly exhilarating battle!
Go directly for the double kill, first slay [Supreme of Destiny] Zhu Ding, then kill [Supreme of Time] Mo Xing.
This way, the number of Divine Court Controllers will be reduced by five.
This is the best outcome.
In this way, the number of formidable enemies Earth faces will be greatly reduced.
Unfortunately, [Supreme of Time] Mo Xing showed no reaction.
Upon hearing Ma Ran’s words, a look of anger appeared on Zhu Ding’s face.
Just as he was about to make a move, Ma Ran struck first.
Buzz!
The dazzling golden blade aura transformed into moonlight in an instant, falling onto Zhu Ding.
Relying solely on his realm and status, combined with accumulated battle experience, even the current Ma Ran could not take him down easily.
Zhu Ding could even stand evenly with him for hundreds of exchanges.
Even if outmatched, he could still escape unscathed.
However, at this moment, the invisible and intangible yet real Power of Destiny suddenly turned against him, like a double-faced traitor, backstabbing him at the critical moment, hindering his actions!
Thus, in front of this strike, Zhu Ding reacted half a beat too slowly.
Missing by a fraction leads to a huge mistake.
Just half a beat slow, and Zhu Ding’s head was split open by the blade of light.
His Divine Body was split into two in the blink of an eye.
His flesh, soul, and divine format were all gradually shattering, turning into dust, scattered in the cold vacuum environment.
Soon, the traces of Chi Xiao’s existence were completely annihilated by that blade of light.
In theory, he was dead.
But...
"My Will, dispersed across the cosmos, will never be completely obliterated!"
Numerous Vacuum Spirits emerged around Ma Ran, letting out spine-chilling sounds, with a tone filled with deep resentment and hatred: ""
Even as his True Spirit shattered, after epochs passed, Zhu Ding, as the [Supreme Ruler], might still be resurrected, not to mention Ma Ran had no direct means to attack the True Spirit, as Zhu Ding’s True Spirit Seal still remained.
With a thought, Ma Ran fully activated the power of the [Sword Master] badge, severing its "observing" ability: "Observing without permission, we Earthlings call that ’peeping’."
"It’s a despicable and filthy act."
Zhu Ding’s vicious voice echoed in his ear: "I’ll be waiting for you."
He was smart enough not to say too much to avoid having his ability to "hear" severed by Ma Ran.
"Oh."
Ma Ran’s gaze was calm as he responded unhurriedly: "That’s good."
In his eyes, Zhu Ding’s threats were nothing more than the lamentations of a defeated dog.
In fact, the remaining will of the other party, to him, was like a permanent top-tier audience +1.
This suddenly gave Ma Ran the feeling of having spent money to recharge for VIP privileges.
When a performance was needed, he could simply release Zhu.
As for the [Supreme of Time] Mo Xing, who was secretly observing all this...
Ma Ran raised his gaze, looking in the direction of Mars, with a chilling smile on his lips, revealing a set of stark white teeth, and said in a grim tone: "Get off my territory!"
