"Well, I have to give my best to force you to reveal your domain!"
Due to everyone's high cultivation base, it was easy for the Celestias inside the Divine Colosseum to hear what he had just said.
It was already an astonishment that he was able to block the first attack of Keran instantly.
Some Celestia Demi Gods were not even able to clearly see the attack before Jason blocked it, making it look like he was blocking empty air.
That was something that shocked them tremendously.
However, after hearing what Jason planned to do, they couldn't help but feel flabbergasted.
On the other hand, the Celestia Gods and even the Royal Celestia Gods couldn't help but focus even more on the fight.
Even if it didn't look like this, they could clearly perceive that Jason had restricted his own movement speed to make it seem as if his God's Halo blocked Keran's attack at the last moment.
But that was apparently not even the case, clearly indicating that Jason's current physical strength was not below that of a Celestia God's!
They might not be the strongest in terms of brute strength, but that had never been the Celestia race's forte, to begin with.
And the difference between a True God and a Demi God was the fact that they had created their Godly foundation, which included the refinement of their physical state with their respective cultivation energies.
With the Godly foundation one repeated all cultivation stages, just in the other two major paths using one's own particular cultivation energy.
There were also other ways to create the Godly foundation, but this was the most commonly known way.
As such, Gods could be said to have cultivated in all three cultivation paths.
At the end of the day, there were still huge differences in the physical strength of Gods that cultivated with Mana or Spirit force, in comparison to those that cultivated with Primordial energy.

However, Jason was not only making use of his passive [Emotional Vantage] trait to increase his strength by making use of the Celestia bloodline's hidden trait, but also the 112 years in which he had refined his entire being by using the Kanadi of a Primordial technique.
After understanding that Jason's strength was not all that far away from his own physical strength, Keran couldn't help but smile oddly.
His eyes gleamed brightly, and he couldn't help but feel odd about being excited to fight a Demi God.
But this Demi God, right in front of him, was different than others, and even more excited to fight him than the other newly advanced Gods.
With that in mind, Keran released his Celestia aura before both his first and second God's Halo began to rotate.
The momentum of his first God's Halo was slow, nearly untraceable, but the effect it caused was devastating.
[Oppressive Aura] was the name of the first God's Halo's effect. It merged with the Celestia aura and oppressed every single being around him using its tremendous prowess.
Facing Keran's Celestia aura head-on, Jason frowned, only to sense that the second God's Halo's effect began to weigh him down as well.
[Suppression]!
While Keran's first God's Halo held an oppressive aura in his Celestia aura, the second God's Halo targeted individual beings with a suppression that was supposed to heavily weigh them down.
Thus, the pressure on Jason was several times higher than usual.
Yet, it was just at this moment that Jason's own Celestia aura was released, and merged his battle intent with it.
Within seconds, it was clear that not only Jason's refined Celestia aura was extremely powerful, but also the fact that his battle intent was several times higher than Keran's.
This was owed to Jason's third God's Halo called the [Emotional Vantage]'s effect, that allowed all of his emotions to be unleashed.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Following that, Jason activated his stigma, strengthening his Celestia aura once again.
That was enough to lessen the suppression of Keran's Celestia aura.
However, it was not enough to get rid of the [Suppression] that weighed on Jason's mind.
Fortunately, he still had his Divine Eyes that had the ability to block off certain mental attacks.
As he circulated tremendous amounts of mana through his eyes, they began to glow brightly, while partially blocking the Suppression that weighed him down.
Just a moment later, Jason used even more moonlight divine energy before he activated the abyss effect of his Divine eyes.
Trapping Keran for less than a quarter of a second, Jason used this momentum to forcefully expand his Celestia aura.
At the same time, he broke the spatial seal before teleporting right in front of Keran.
The moment he regained his senses, Jason was right in front of him, only for a bright smile to emerge on the young man's face as the Kyda Sabre slashed through the space around them.
Spatial cracks manifested all around Keran, astonishing him for a moment.
Yet, before he could block Jason's attack, the halfling's armor began to light up, turning into the replica of the bright sun rays.
It was one of the few runic constellations on his armor, which Jason had activated in order to dazzle and distract Keran.
However, instead of continuing his attack straightforwardly, Jason teleported himself and was standing behind him only a moment later.
His slash was never stopped, and Jason sealed the space around them just a moment later, trying to prevent Keran from fleeing.
Yet, just at this moment, a tremendous weight pushed Jason down.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})The entire surrounding felt like the gravitational force had skyrocketed to an unprecedented level, preventing Jason from moving normally.
A second later, he could see that all three of Keran's God's Halos were activated, and rotating at a rapid speed.
The momentum of the three God's Halos was enough to create subtle wind currents.
His mana and divine energy consumption were tremendous right now, but Keran couldn't care about that at all.
He had never expected that Jason would force him to use his domain.
However, by releasing his domain [Divine Oppression], all beings in his surroundings were rendered incapable of any movement.
Yet, because Keran wasn't sure whether Jason would be able to move or not, he was forced to seal the surrounding space using the [Elemental Superiority] trait, preventing Jason from fleeing, in addition to using the [Oppressive aura] and [Suppression] on the young halfling.
It was a hassle that he had to use his Domain, but Keran could tell that Jason was a worthy opponent to be the first one to witness the might of his domain.
As such, he smiled at the young Jason with a prideful expression, certain that his victory was guaranteed.
Even Jason couldn't help but feel that it was a little bit surprising to witness just how powerful Keran's domain was.
He was pretty sure that his strength rivaled ordinary Gods at the bare minimum.
Nevertheless, he was unable to move, and felt as if his mind was being influenced as well.
This was despite his Divine Eyes' effect, which had lifted a large portion of the suppression that had weighed on him.
"It's over, give up!" Keran yelled at him and took a step towards Jason, his spear gleaming brightly.
And Jason couldn't agree more because it was certainly over, but not for him!
