Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Chapter186-The Three Shocking Punches that Stunned the World
Kyrik Palace.

Under the astonished gazes of countless onlookers, Owen’s massive Dharma Form stood proudly between heaven and earth, radiating an oppressive aura. It felt like ants gazing up at the sky; all that remained on their faces was sheer terror.

Owen’s display of power was unprecedented!

As they stared in horror, unsure of what to do, the white-browed elder who had received the command from the Kyrik King took a step forward. Like a white phantom, he flickered several times, appearing before Owen.

His hair was gray, and the aura emanating from him was deeply heavy.

Among all the mages suppressed here, he was the only one who maintained a calm demeanor. Even under the force of Owen’s Dharma Form, he could still rise into the air, resisting the bone-deep pressure.

“The younger generation has grown to such a level, making us old-timers feel ashamed. But fortunately, this old body of mine still has some strength left to shine.”

A rare gleam flashed in his murky eyes as he looked at Owen’s massive Dharma Form. Instead of intimidating him, it ignited a desire to fight.

Since becoming the Protector, he hadn’t fought a powerful opponent in many years.

As the white-browed elder appeared before Owen, the eyes of everyone present, from the Kyrik King to the master-tier and diamond-tier mages, all focused on him.

The fear in their expressions finally began to ease.

This White Protector was the anchor of Kyrik. Since he became Protector, there had been no major upheavals in Kyrik for many years.

All of this naturally stemmed from the White Protector’s immense power.

Master-tier Level 9!

He had reached the peak of the master-tier and was showing signs of breaking through to the grandmaster-tier.

In a land where even diamond-tier mages were rare, the status and power of a master-tier mage were beyond question.

In fact, the strength and influence of a kingdom were closely tied to the number of master-tier mages it possessed.

Once someone reached the master-tier, even if a kingdom expended all its resources to support them, breaking through to the next tier would be incredibly difficult, requiring years or even decades of arduous cultivation.

Master-tier Level 9 was the pinnacle for many mages across the continent, a level countless mages could only aspire to throughout their lives.

Now, this legendary mage, who rarely made a move, had stepped forward.

Although Owen’s reputation had recently soared, giving him an almost unstoppable aura, the White Protector’s fame had long been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people of Kyrik.

No matter how extraordinary Owen was, he could never cross such a vast gap in levels!

After all, the further one progressed in cultivation, the greater the difference between even the smallest tiers—an insurmountable chasm.

“With the Protector taking action, no matter what tricks Owen has, he’ll have no choice but to submit!”

As the White Protector’s aura gradually spread, the eyes of those present immediately lit up with fervor.

They continuously cheered for the White Protector within the array.

At this moment, Owen looked at the master-tier Level 9 White Protector with a calm expression, with only a trace of disdain.

If it had been before his breakthrough with Obsidify, Owen might have found this White Protector formidable. After all, breaking through to this level on this barren continent spoke volumes about the White Protector’s talent and strength.

But now, with Obsidify’s breakthrough and the enhancement of Mana Void, Owen dared to face even a grandmaster-tier mage head-on, let alone this White Protector.

So, when the White Protector’s aura reached its peak, Owen’s massive figure threw a simple yet powerful punch.

Due to the sheer size of Owen’s Dharma Form, this punch was like a falling meteor, accompanied by a piercing sound as it locked onto the White Protector below.

Under the shadow of this punch, mana was sealed, and even the circulation of blood was suppressed by a terrifying black light of gravity!

Facing this punch with Owen’s Dharma Form, the White Protector, despite sensing Owen’s overwhelming power, found himself frowning and, for the first time, showing a hint of fear on his face.

As the massive punch descended at a speed visible to the naked eye, the oppressive force emanating from Owen became even stronger, impossible to resist.

Even though the White Protector had previously resisted without being affected, when that punch filled his entire vision, occupying his entire sight, the mana within him began to scatter, and his finely honed body started to decay and ache.

This feeling was unmistakably a powerful suppressive effect!

Yet, his level was clearly much higher than Owen’s!

But in this clash, he was the one being suppressed!

Realizing the dire situation, the white-browed elder took a deep breath, and his body quickly expanded. His skin immediately turned jade-like, pure white, resembling an indestructible jade statue.

As Kyrik’s most powerful Protector, he was not only well-versed in white magic but also deeply knowledgeable in dark magic.

Owen’s Dharma Form power was a form of overbearing dark magic. To counter such a force, he could only fight back with dark magic.

And it just so happened that he had trained in a body-forging dark magic.

Sky Hand!

This body-forging technique focused primarily on the hands. Now that he had mastered it, his hands were indestructible and immensely powerful!

The moment he activated it, the pressure from Owen’s Dharma Form lightened significantly.

Then, the White Protector clasped his hands together, then clenched his right hand into a fist, gathering surging mana into it. He punched out at Owen’s descending fist, twisting the void and forming a massive, blurry white fist mark.

Boom!

Black and white clashed, and the entire space-time rippled as if two massive meteors had collided.

The gravitational black light and the crystalline jade light entangled, expanded, and devoured each other, each trying to annihilate the other.

This collision lasted only a brief moment before a pale Mana Void power suddenly surged from Owen’s Dharma Form-encased fist, like a white curtain.

It wrapped around the White Protector’s fist, causing the magical pressure from his fist to dissipate instantly. The jade-like fist lost its luster, returning to the color of flesh.

Then, Owen’s fist continued its unstoppable descent, striking the White Protector with such force that he was sent plummeting deep into the ground, raising clouds of dust and debris.

“White Protector!”

The sight of the White Protector being punched into the ground was witnessed by Kyrik’s many ministers. They all cried out in shock, their faces turning ashen.

The White Protector was their strongest figure.

How could he be so utterly defeated in a single exchange?!

Even some of the prodigies who followed Owen from Middle Earth were shocked, the mere waves of power from Owen’s punch giving them a sense of facing death.

Now, seeing Owen effortlessly defeat a master-tier Level 9 White Protector with a single punch, they realized that Owen’s combat strength far exceeded their imagination!

At this moment, as he gazed at the White Protector buried in the ground, Owen glanced at his fist, now glowing with pale light, and his face grew even more jubilant.

The power generated by the fusion of Dharma Form and Mana Void was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Whether dark magic or white magic, both were rooted in mana, and Mana Void could be considered the nemesis of most mages.

Meanwhile, Dharma Form could suppress the physical body, so even if a mage had an exceptionally strong physique, they would still be suppressed by Dharma Form.

With both at his disposal, even this master-tier Level 9 White Protector, who had dominated Kyrik for years, was defeated in a single move!

However, Owen also understood that although the White Protector had been defeated, his foundation was solid. Meanwhile, maintaining his Dharma Form was not easy, and he needed to end this quickly without delay.

In an instant, killing intent flashed in Owen’s eyes as he launched another thunderous punch downward.

The White Protector, just emerging from the ground, saw Owen’s fist once again bearing down on him. His face showed even more fear and a desire to retreat.

From the brief exchange earlier, he could tell that Owen’s strength had surpassed his own, especially with that bizarre domain that could forcibly absorb his mana.

This was an utterly heaven-defying domain ability, making Owen a foe that couldn’t be underestimated.
