Chapter 744 - 738: Demon Nest No. 1 – Divine Court
Upon seeing these suddenly appearing beings before her, Qing Dai was filled with fear and instinctively wanted to flee on the spot.
However, her divine thought interwove, realizing something was amiss in an instant.
Buzzing...
In the blink of an eye, Qing Dai’s severed arm began to gradually regenerate, and within just an instant, it was completely healed as if new.
Flexing her new shoulder, Qing Dai came back to her senses, coldly looking at Ma Ran, her tone icy as she said, "Five?"
"I think there are probably only two, right?"
"If you want to scare me off, your methods are still too naïve."
Enclosed within the white lines, the Golden Domain displayed a hint of regret on its face.
It had noticed the problem at the very first moment and was admiring Ma Ran’s quick wit in its heart, but Qing Dai was not fooled.
Now the cosmic situation has changed, and it is already very different from before.
In the Golden Domain’s view, Ma Ran is an enemy, but he cannot die just yet.
And whether the [Prophet] and [Lord of the Red Lotus] can defeat Qing Dai together...
Golden Domain finds there are too many, too many variables.
As an undercover, how many trump cards Qing Dai holds, and to what extent she can go, no one knows.
Neither Ma Ran nor if Ye Fengqing and Qing Dai perish together would be any good.
After all...
Apart from top-tier combat power, in terms of resources and the number of strong individuals, this cosmos has no advantage compared to the Endless Plane!
Although the Supreme Ruler is powerful, it is not a match for the unified will of the Endless Plane.
Charging out of this cosmos to conduct a decapitation operation is inadvisable.
Under such circumstances, losing one top-tier strong individual means losing an advantage in the upcoming plane clash.
"Run!"
The Golden Domain’s gaze focused on Qing Dai with an indifferent look, but the voice directly entered Ma Ran’s heart: "Where there’s life, there’s hope, no matter what, you shouldn’t die in this place!"
In the absence of Sword Master, Demon Child, and Profound Immortal, avoiding the sharp edge is the best choice.
Beside him, the [Reincarnation Supreme] Chi Xiao appeared to revel in the chaos, loudly saying: "Go on, Ma Ran!"
"Smash this traitor Qing Dai on the spot, show her your prowess!"
At this point, Chi Xiao changed his tone: "It doesn’t matter if you can’t win, as long as your True Spirit isn’t shattered, I can use the power of reincarnation to arrange rebirth for you, letting you have the best Extraordinary Talent in your next life, being born as an Immortal Seed directly."
Neither Ma Ran nor Qing Dai paid any attention to Chi Xiao.
The Golden Domain, Lan Xi, and Mo Xing glared at Chi Xiao with anger.
"Shut up!"
"Are you here just to make things worse?"
"If you can’t help, don’t say sarcastic remarks! The current situation is more dangerous than you think! If Ma Ran dies here, the likelihood of our defeat will significantly increase! You understand? By that time, neither my immortality nor your enjoyment will exist anymore!"
After being lambasted by his companions, Chi Xiao finally quieted down.
And Qing Dai appeared calm and composed.
She looked at Ma Ran with a cold gaze: "Although partnering with [Lord of the Red Lotus] makes you quite challenging, the power you both hold cannot restrain me!"
"Do you think you can kill me?"
Hearing this, Ma Ran smiled slightly, turning his side face slightly towards Ye Fengqing: "Wrong."
"It’s not me, it’s her."
"I’m just here to bolster the lineup."
Bolster the lineup?
Absolutely ridiculous!
At the level of a Supreme Ruler, a war of attrition has no meaning, and it’s impossible to weaken combat power through exhaustion. Forming a numerical advantage is the right path!
Just as Qing Dai was about to burst into laughter, her smile suddenly froze.
Because...
She received a notification from the unified will of the Endless Plane.
"Can’t kill Ma Ran?"
With a gloomy expression, Qing Dai asked in her heart: "Why?"
The unified will of the Endless Plane did not act aloof and directly told her the real reason.
"...I see."
Qing Dai frowned, her gaze focusing on Ma Ran.
Whether it was her decades-long undercover life or the [Supreme of Light] Lin Ke risking the void Black Nightshade’s Tu Ye to descend into the Sin Universe, all efforts pointed towards one common goal – finding and seizing the variable!
Now the problem is, the unified will of the Endless Plane still cannot determine whether Ma Ran got the "variable" or if he himself is the variable.
Not to mention the difficulty of executing the "kill plan," if Ma Ran were directly eliminated here and now, the "variable" may turn from light to dark again.
The act of striking a lethal blow does not align with the interests of the unified will of the Endless Plane.
With bitterness, Qing Dai took a deep breath.
Earlier, she boasted of killing Ma Ran, but now she had to break her word.
But that didn’t matter.
Qing Dai was never one to keep her word.
In an instant, she collected her thoughts, her gaze sweeping past Ma Ran and focusing on Ye Fengqing: "If you’re not afraid of death, then follow me!"
With that said, Qing Dai stepped forward, her figure vanishing without a trace, leaving behind a bizarre vortex of black and white interweaving colors.
She planned to handle Ye Fengqing first, then figure out how to deal with Ma Ran!
"Heh..."
With a shimmering cold light in her eyes, Ye Fengqing’s figure flickered and she rushed into the vortex, also disappearing without a trace.
Meanwhile.
The Corpse Planet formed by strong beings of the Alternate Plane had already dissolved completely in the bloody fog Qing Dai had created.
The five Supreme Rulers of the Divine Court, like wrapped in cocoons, floated up and down in the vacuum.
"These things were temporarily made as binding means by the unified will of the Endless Plane altering the original source of the Wall of the End."
Ma Ran’s gaze moved back and forth on the five Supreme Rulers, after a moment of observation, he couldn’t help but marvel: "They are a type of restraint and also a type of protection measure."
"What a pity."
"Unless this cosmos is completely shattered, it’s simply impossible to harm you."
Lan Xi listened with twitching eyelids.
She knew Ma Ran lamented not being able to wipe them out here opportunistically.
"You controllers of the Divine Court, perhaps due to having too much intricate work, when observing the Endless Plane, instead of seeing clearly as I do."
Ma Ran spoke calmly, his tone composed: "Through my observation and analysis, I ultimately reached a conclusion."
"The so-called Demon Nest is a civilization where material, spirit, and extraordinary legacies once leaked to all heavens and myriad worlds."
"Labels like ’cruel,’ ’brutal,’ ’arrogant’ are merely some measures taken by the unified will of the Endless Plane to forcibly add and obscure vision."
As Ma Ran spoke, he snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Instantly, the Purple Jade Stele recording the Demon Nest List within the Divine Court appeared before the Supreme Rulers.
At the next moment, surrounded by blazing fire, burning away shadows, revealing the true form of the Divine Court’s Purple Jade Stele.
At the top of the purple jade stele, written in the common language of the Divine Court is a string of words.
"Doomsday Resurgence: Demon Nest List"
Beside it, a small string of remarks.
"The following lists are not ranked by the level of threat, they are marked in the order of discovery."
The First Demon Nest, Divine Court, Vanity.
