Chapter 638 - 632: Golden Domain
Chapter 638 - 632: Golden Domain
The gentle and magnetic male voice reached Ma Ran’s ears.
"To easily break through the [Discrimination Protection], you indeed have quite the skill, sir."
"I bear no malice towards you."
"So..."
"There is no need for us to clash."
"Why not have a peaceful chat?"
"Perhaps we could both benefit."
Following the voice, Ma Ran saw a figure that could barely be discerned as humanoid.
An intelligent lifeform of insufficient tier wouldn’t even be able to comprehend the appearance of the other, and glimpsing just a silhouette from afar would drive them mad, cause genetic mutations, or even shatter and distort their soul.
Ma Ran remained calm, channeling Star Power into his eyes without showing any expression.
Through the [Bright Star Gaze], he quickly identified the other’s appearance.
The deity who spoke had an ordinary face and a build neither burly nor frail, with rainbow-colored draping long hair and eyes, dressed in a linen shirt and pants.
Simple, clean.
Overall, apart from the flashy hair and eye colors, this deity seemed quite unremarkable at first glance, with nothing particularly noteworthy to focus on.
Ma Ran, however, knew it was all an illusion.
In reality...
The other was an Upper Rank God!
One of the supreme power controllers of the [Divine Court]!
Although he had been mentally prepared, facing this deity directly, Ma Ran still felt a terrifying pressure accompanied by the vibration of Divine Power hitting him head-on.
In that brief moment, Ma Ran completed an initial combat power assessment and comparison—if he were to encounter such an opponent without multiple trump cards, he’d have at least a 90% chance of dying on the spot. Forget winning, even escaping with his life would be a luxury.
"Very strong."
Speaking, the silver-white brilliance in Ma Ran’s eyes was almost overflowing.
He stared unblinkingly at the other, curling his lips into a smile: "Since we’ve already met, it feels like a pity not to have a fight."
Hearing this, the deity with multicolored long hair draped over his shoulders took a step forward, appearing before Ma Ran.
His gaze at Ma Ran was like a human looking at a quirky cat, full of curiosity, yet he maintained a smile, politely saying: "I am [Golden Domain]."
"Could you tell me your name and identity?"
Ma Ran didn’t respond.
From a standpoint, Earth Civilization and the Divine Court are ultimately in a life-and-death adversarial faction.
Moreover, Earth is absolutely at a disadvantage, lacking any capital to negotiate with the [Divine Court] and the strength to resist.
The Upper Rank God before him, named [Golden Domain], despite appearing as a gentle and cultured gentleman, in reality, didn’t regard Ma Ran at all.
Before meeting this deity, Ma Ran repeatedly overestimated the tier and rank of an Upper Rank God.
After truly encountering him, he realized even his overestimation was an underestimation.
The gap between him and Golden Domain was too vast!
The other clearly hadn’t even entered combat mode. Just standing before him, Ma Ran felt his blood and qi stall, his cellular activity significantly reduced, even his Spiritual Power fell lethargic, seemingly injected with some form of inertia.
Humans feel compassion and mercy towards cute kittens and puppies, but they don’t see them as equal beings.
Composure is always reserved for the strong.
Ma Ran understood well that with such a clear domain gap between them, he wouldn’t get an ounce of respect or valuable information from the other without first showing prowess in battle.
So...
He decided to make a move!
"It’s not too late to chat after we fight."
"Come, let me see your skills!"
With these words, the silver light in Ma Ran’s eyes shone brightly, his figure flashing, and he launched a punch charged with black-red electricity.
Bang!
The air between them was instantly annihilated, space twisted, forming an eerie Vacuum Domain.
A scent like wheat being toasted, halfway to being baked, quickly spread out.
Amidst it was a pungent aroma of some mugwort.
"To still muster fighting spirit standing before my true form..."
Golden Domain stood still, motionless, a translucent pale purple egg-shaped oval shield appearing around him.
With a twinkle in his eye, he exclaimed: "Many Legion Commanders of the Demon Extermination Expedition Army cannot achieve this."
Ma Ran didn’t speak, quickly shifting locations, his figure flashing, launching attacks from all directions.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The vacuum zone created by the punches was quickly filled by the surrounding air.
The humidity in the air gradually increased.
Raindrops, forcibly compressed and gathered, vaporized and vanished instantly.
The pale purple egg-shaped oval shield in front of Golden Domain gradually showed cracks, emitting cracking sounds.
"Oh!"
The previously calm Upper Rank God Golden Domain exclaimed in surprise: "This..."
Ma Ran’s life level was clearly still quite a long journey from reaching that of an Upper Rank God.
Theoretically, even if he stood still and didn’t fight back, Ma Ran couldn’t possibly damage this layer of protection.
But now...
This protection, under Ma Ran’s storm-like assault, likely couldn’t last a few breaths before being shattered!
Yet Ma Ran suddenly stopped.
He looked down at his fist.
The pale purple egg-shaped oval shield summoned by Golden Domain didn’t feel hard at all yet was extremely resilient. Any energy landing on it would slide right off, full of toughness. Its structure was perfect, marvelous to the extreme, even with Ma Ran’s extensive knowledge and experience, he couldn’t help admitting...
Across two lifetimes, among the opponents he has met, simply in terms of defense, this Upper Rank God named Golden Domain is the strongest!
Golden Domain stood opposite Ma Ran, but didn’t move, sparing no praise, earnestly saying: "What an impressive combat technique!"
"In the entire [Divine Court], there’s only one deity who can match you in combat skills!"
"And..."
"These eyes... are also very special."
"They pierce to the essence of all things, comprehend cosmic laws. If targeting beings of insufficient tier, just one look can erase them on the spot."
"Do you truly not wish to leave your name, sir?"
Speaking, Golden Domain chuckled to himself: "Alright, this is a question I shouldn’t have asked."
"This familiar scent..."
"If I’m not mistaken, you should hail from the Demon Nest, of that I am certain."
"Given our different stances, your reluctance to answer is entirely understandable."
"So then..."
Golden Domain gazed intently at Ma Ran, his tone shifting, politely requesting: "Before being killed, could you give me your eyes?"
"They are truly beautiful."
"Though it’s quite an impudent request, I hope you can understand."
"Such a captivating feeling, I haven’t experienced it in hundreds of thousands of years."
