Chapter 437 - 398: A Hard Clash, an Indirect Rescue, and Yang Lei’s Help

After some discussion, Yang Lei finally understood. He’d gotten it all wrong. Recently, the Celestial Star Arena hadn’t just seen one competitor achieve a fifty-win streak, but two!

The one who had come to see him was the first of these prodigies to reach the fifty-win streak. And the second one, Tian Ming, was not only from the same race but was also his follower. When Yang Lei learned all this, his scalp went numb.

’Since when did achieving a fifty-win streak become so easy?’

One appearing every ten thousand years was already an incredible feat. But now, two had appeared in less than a year. What’s more, they were both from the same place and belonged to the so-called "native" Low Level Human Race. This was something he had never, ever imagined.

Furthermore, the prodigy Tian Xing was currently mentioning, the one named Tian Ming, actually wielded the Void Dao—just like the legendary Wu. This was simply unheard of.

He was, to date, only the second special Cultivator known to possess the Void Law, the first to appear since Wu himself.

No one else could resonate with the void, but Wu could. That was how he grasped the Void Law. He then went on a rampage across the entire Primordial world cluster, suppressing an entire generation and becoming the most dazzling prodigy of his time.

Now, Tian Ming had inherited the Void Law and had already smoothly and successfully secured his fifty-win streak. The legendary ninety-nine-win streak was merely a matter of time.

It was said that all his previous battles were instant kills. Any opponent who was even a fraction of a second too slow to surrender was immediately annihilated. There was no middle ground. After all, the lethal power of the Void was self-evident.

The current Tian Ming was also capable of killing beings at the Half-Step Unity Realm, truly possessing the same air as Wu back in his day. At this rate, the ninety-nine-win streak was practically in the bag. As long as he didn’t run into a Unity Realm expert, there would be almost no issues.

Once an expert amassed a certain number of consecutive victories, their invincible potential became clear. They were already unparalleled; even finding worthy opponents for them was a struggle. In most cases, the greatest obstacle to extending a win streak wasn’t the inability to defeat an opponent, but simply waiting for one to appear.

It took even the legendary Wu many years to complete the grand feat of a ninety-nine-win streak. In other words, once a competitor’s winning streak reached a certain point, their power had already peaked. Continuing the streak became a test of patience and luck. They could only add another victory to their record when they finally encountered a sufficiently qualified opponent.

With Tian Ming wielding the Void Law, it was almost certain he would follow in Wu’s legendary footsteps, achieving another ninety-nine-win streak—or perhaps even a one-hundred-win streak. The Celestial Star Arena’s popularity had exploded because of him, and it had once again become the most popular arena in the Desolate Realm, completely overshadowing all its major competitors.

Even Tian Xing couldn’t help but suspect that Tian Ming was actually the reincarnation of the great Senior Wu, cultivating all over again. It was just too sensational. With the Void Dao’s re-emergence, who could possibly contend?

The major powers from all corners were scrambling to curry favor with him, hoping to establish a good relationship. That way, when he inevitably soared to new heights, they could ensure the safety of their own factions—or at the very least, avoid becoming his enemy.

Most people assumed he was the reincarnation of Wu. Of course, there was no concrete proof. After all, Tian Ming came from the Human Race, and his origins were quite clear. Furthermore, he had emerged into the world as a follower of Jiang Qiu. This revelation made Jiang Qiu an even hotter topic, enough to give Yang Lei a start.

Looking at the man and woman before him, Yang Lei had completely abandoned any thought of testing them. From the fragments of information he’d gleaned from Tian Xing, he understood that Jiang Qiu’s background was likely far more mysterious than anyone imagined. As for his Realm, it was difficult to say if he was at the Peak of Fusion Realm or a Half-Step Unity Realm. This was because, on his path to fifty consecutive wins, he had instantly killed a Saint Heir of the Soul Race. That Saint Heir was a Half-Step Unity Realm expert, an absurdly powerful and peerless prodigy who was also considered a contender for a fifty-win streak.

In other words, without anyone knowing what kind of offensive abilities Jiang Qiu possessed, he could casually obliterate Fusion Realm experts. His Soul-related techniques were even more peerless; he could kill a Saint Heir of the Soul Race in the blink of an eye.

This display of power made him even more mysterious than Tian Ming. While everyone knew Tian Ming was formidable, they also understood why: he wielded the Void Law, which could directly suppress an opponent’s Law Power. But Jiang Qiu’s power was a complete enigma. No one knew the source of his strength; it was as if he existed simply to obliterate everything in his path.

Under these circumstances, the possibility that he was some supreme expert traveling in disguise for amusement couldn’t be ruled out. A sense of awe filled Yang Lei’s heart. He knew that while there weren’t many people in the world stronger than him, they certainly existed.

The most terrifying of all were the reincarnated Unity Realm experts hiding in the shadows. They possessed techniques that hadn’t even been developed in the current epoch and could have been plotting since the last one. If he were to provoke one—even one who hadn’t yet reached their full potential—then even his own Three-Life Race, one of the most supreme races, would have to face them as if they were a formidable foe.

With that, he hurriedly granted Jiang Qiu full communication privileges. He also ordered his subordinates to pour resources into the connection, ensuring it remained stable. He couldn’t risk a sudden disconnection from resource shortages that might displease Jiang Qiu.

Tian Xing quickly grasped Jiang Qiu’s intent and readily shared the information he had. "Your Excellency Jiang Qiu, it isn’t too difficult to enter the Eight-direction Reversing Ship. As long as one’s comprehension of the Space-Time Law has reached the Early Stage of Unity Realm, you can slip inside, provided they aren’t on full alert. However, if they activate their full defensive mode, the space-time in that area will be locked down. Not even an expert at the Middle Tier of Unity Realm would be able to pass through it freely.
