Chapter 801 - 795: In My Name!
Seeing Ma Ran imprisoned in the pyramid cage, the taut string in Lin Ke’s mind immediately relaxed, and at the same time, he finally realized why he had felt something was amiss all along.
Was Ma Ran a lone wolf fighting solo?
The answer was clearly negative!
[Sword Master] Lin Qiubai, [Demon Son] Zhang Kuang, [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan, [Lord of the Red Lotus] Ye Fengqing...
Even those supreme beings from the [Divine Court], it is said that some of them have good relations with him, and if they realized Ma Ran is in crisis, there’s a high chance they’d lend a helping hand.
Ma Ran could almost be called the strongest socialite in the Sin Universe, with a network of friendships whose energy leaves one speechless.
Even if those friendships between Ma Ran and those beings are superficial, merely courteous...
[Supreme of Devouring] Su Qiangwei and [Supreme of No Position] Ma Ran, however, shared a life-and-death bond, united since their humble beginnings. How could she ignore him in his dire moment?
With the skills of a Supreme, in the same world, it’s impossible not to sense the battle of those in the same realm.
Even if there are means left by the collective will of Endless Plane, in the moment Prajna acted just now, quite a bit of Qi was unintentionally leaked.
Baldie’s move definitely wasn’t flawless.
In an instant of electric thought, Lin Ke made a decision.
"Simply can’t figure it out!"
"Forget it, never mind! Let’s first deal with Ma Ran, then address other matters one by one!"
Thinking thus, Lin Ke immediately raised his left hand, emitting a beam of light from his palm.
The light was so pure, as if it nurtured all hues in the world, carrying limitless majestic power, a presence impossible to be born in nature. Even compared to various Super Martial, Super Demon, divine light, demonic light, divine illumination, and annihilation death light in the Primordial Great World, it would seem insignificant, easily vanquished.
The pure light emitted from Lin Ke instantaneously fell upon the Three Thousand Realms of the Buddha Realm, as if coating it with a thin yet resilient membrane, continuously drawing in and absorbing light from around, transforming into the power of the Buddha Realm.
An immediate two-against-one situation was formed.
"..."
Prajna was not willing to pay attention to the exceedingly dramatic Lin Ke beside him, his gaze was focused through the pyramid-like cage, always centered on Ma Ran.
Yet he had to admit...
Lin Ke made some valid points.
Seeing Ma Ran displaying an expression as if Mount Tai collapsed before him and remained unfazed, Prajna couldn’t help but twitch his eyelids, feeling a sense of ominous foreboding.
Even among ordinary Extraordinary Ones, there’s a saying about "premonitions aroused in the heart". The Supreme Ruler’s intuition, even without any real basis, is still highly accurate.
This was also one of the reasons why the [Supreme of Light] Lin Ke chose to surrender without hesitation when he first met Ma Ran and sold team intelligence on the spot to preserve himself.
As if to prove Prajna’s premonition accuracy, the situation onsite instantly changed.
Crack pop!
A barely detectable cracking sound emerged from the Buddha Light Pyramid, and at the same moment, fractures tinier than atom quarks began to spread across the Buddha Light Pyramid.
"Something went wrong indeed!"
Lin Ke’s pupils instantly contracted into a dangerous needle-like shape, blurting out new vocabulary learned from Earth: "Misfortunes never come alone, nor do blessings come doubly. Prajna, let’s skidaddle! If we want to earn merit, there’s no rush!"
The current situation is already quite evident...
The joint attack from [Supreme of Light] and [Supreme of Soul] couldn’t delay Ma Ran’s actions, nor could it even weaken his arrogance by a fraction.
Regarding this, Lin Ke wasn’t surprised.
The last time they met, he perceived clearly and deeply Ma Ran’s unparalleled, terrifying Supreme Origin.
Seeing him again this time, Ma Ran seemed to have progressed even more, his strength is even more daunting than before.
Lin Ke now even suspected whether Ma Ran had already mastered means surpassing Supreme Ruler, reaching an even higher level.
Only, he had no evidence and dared not speak randomly, fearing he might provoke Ma Ran’s anger and be targeted as top priority for elimination.
Compared to Lin Ke, Prajna’s reaction appeared much calmer.
He simply watched intently as the Buddha Light Pyramid began to crumble and shatter under Ma Ran’s Qi pressure, thoughts racing rapidly.
"It seems that Ma Ran breaks through this barrier effortlessly, without even drawing his blade; but it should not be simply counted as such."
"For those who have reached the level of Supreme Ruler, any equipment or weapon loses significance, the key determinant of victory is the interaction between each other’s Supreme Rank attributes."
"The nature of [Supreme of No Position] and [Supreme of Devouring] are unique, not restricted nor capable of restraining other Supreme Rulers. Only the most direct, brute, and harsh means can be employed, utilizing Supreme Origin to obliterate enemies."
"Ma Ran is strong, yet merely holds some advantage in Supreme Origin, without surpassing the boundary I can withstand."
"At least..."
"He hasn’t reached the will of the Sin Universe or the collective will of Endless Plane level."
"If he truly mastered that level of power, I wouldn’t have had any chance to resist, and even the brief imprisonment and shackles just now would have absolutely failed!"
At this thought, Prajna took a deep breath, his expression became extraordinarily serious: "I have the trump card bestowed by the collective will of Endless Plane; even if Ma Ran possesses boundless divine might and profound setup, he will absolutely not overturn the situation!"
"Does he have backup, but so do I!"
To ascend to the throne of [Supreme of Soul], he relied not on luck or obstinacy.
Ma Ran being able to break through confinement and shatter the Buddha Light Pyramid was within expectations.
If he didn’t have such means, it would have been surprising to Prajna.
Snap!
The Buddha Light Pyramid completely shattered.
A gentle breeze passed, the youth’s silver hair fluttered, leisurely walking upon "air stairs", he calmly approached Prajna.
"The trap you set is too fake."
Ma Ran contemptuously looked at Prajna, speaking in a peculiar tone: "Saying ’the bait is salty and the hook is straight’ would be overestimating you."
"If I hadn’t specifically spent some time repeatedly verifying billions of times, I wouldn’t have believed the so-called Youwen Text Illusion crafted by the dignified Supreme could be so feeble."
These words caused Prajna’s face to twitch.
Honestly...
He didn’t intentionally expose any flaws when setting traps.
At least when arranging the Enclosure Text, Prajna indeed employed full effort.
The stronger Ma Ran portrayed, the more benefits would be gained after successfully converting him!
Upon this realization, a faint light flickered in Prajna’s eyes, he said solemnly: "Do you think you can consume me completely?"
"Utilizing information obtained from Lin Ke, I’ve already calculated all of your reinforcements and assistance, preserving sufficient reserve forces."
"Fleeting verbal victory, utterly meaningless."
As the words fell, [Supreme of Light] Lin Ke directly donned the pain mask, an expression of deep resentment on his face—why drag him into this conversation when speaking, isn’t this sowing discord?
Lin Ke wanted to explain to Ma Ran clarifying that he had not participated in the customization of the "Sin Universe Guide", yet worried he’d be regarded as a traitor and eradicated on the spot.
While Lin Ke hesitated, Ma Ran, with fingers like knives, cleaved towards the void ahead.
At this moment, his voice resonated across the cosmos.
"In my name, let all beings within the Solar System witness these events!"
