Time flowed like water.
Before long, who knew how much time had passed.
Redbud Island was encircled by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, countless primal universe laws manifesting.
Jiu Feng Venerable had just emerged from the Inheritance Land, a faint aura of the Beast God's law still lingering around him.
He looked up at the aurora drifting across the sky, his expression calm.
Just then, a hearty laugh rang out.
"Jiu Feng, closed up for so long—quite the harvest, eh?"
Jiu Feng Venerable turned to see a man in a green robe with a longsword on his back striding through the air. It was Green Edge Venerable of the Hong Alliance.
"Green Edge."
Jiu Feng Venerable nodded slightly.
"A few insights. I still need some time to digest them."
Green Edge Venerable laughed heartily.
"You're too modest."
A playful smile crept onto his face.
"While you were in seclusion, that Demon Flame King of your human race has been making quite a name for himself!"
Jiu Feng Venerable raised an eyebrow.
"Demon Flame King? Yan Ning?"
He had some impression of Yan Ning. A Sealed King Invincible who could block a Venerable's combat power—such beings were rare even among humans.
And Yan Ning's million-kilometer Divine Body had already spread across the universe.
"What did he do?"
Green Edge Venerable's lips curled.
"You've been in seclusion too long. You probably don't know what he's been up to lately."
Jiu Feng Venerable shook his head.
"I truly don't."
Green Edge Venerable held up five fingers, a mix of awe and helplessness in his eyes.
"Fifty thousand matches! A full fifty thousand battles in the Glory World! That guy—he's a madman!"
"Fifty thousand matches?!"
Even Jiu Feng Venerable, with all his experience, couldn't help showing surprise.
Every match in the Glory World was a genuine clash of laws, draining immense mental, willpower, and law comprehension.
Even a Venerable wouldn't fight so crazily in succession.
"Did he win?"
"Win? That's an understatement!"
Green Edge Venerable shook his head in admiration.
"Fifty thousand matches, nearly all victories. He only lost to a handful of Sealed King Invincibles. His strength is almost running rampant on the triple rankings."
He paused, lowering his voice.
"And you don't know—a while back, he thoroughly humiliated that Black Prison bastard. Hahahaha! I've long had it in for that guy. If I could make a move here, I'd have slapped him to death long ago."
Jiu Feng Venerable's pupils contracted.
A Sealed King fighting a Venerable? That wasn't something an ordinary genius could do.
"Where is he now?"
Green Edge Venerable pointed toward the Glory World.
"Where else? Probably off challenging someone again. That guy treats the Glory World like his whetstone!"
Jiu Feng Venerable was silent for a moment, then let out a soft laugh.
"Interesting... It seems our human race is about to gain another prodigy."
Green Edge Venerable nodded, a glint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Yeah. Once he breaks through to Venerable, even us old-timers might be left in the dust. Maybe he won't be able to beat you, but I probably won't be his match anymore."
The two exchanged a smile, their gazes turning in unison toward the direction of the Glory World.
Inside the Glory World.
As the battles continued.
Yan Ning now finished almost every fight within ten seconds.
Nearly all were instant kills. The moment he appeared, he attacked directly.
To improve efficiency, he had now cut out all the extraneous nonsense, like trash talk.
Those who liked to run their mouths were almost instantly killed the moment Yan Ning appeared.
They didn't even have time to react to what was happening.
Some would angrily accuse Yan Ning of sneaking attacks.
Yan Ning paid them no heed.
"Whew..."
Yan Ning left the Glory World.
"Today's two thousand battles are done—1976 wins, 24 losses. Time to go accept another inheritance."
He had to admit, Redbud Island was overflowing with geniuses.
Yan Ning considered himself, with the help of his cheats, to have talent that surpassed all his peers.
Yet there were still people who could easily defeat him.
That showed just how profound those people's law insights were.
His talent had already been enhanced twice by the system.
The first time, his gene level had been multiplied a hundredfold, which correspondingly boosted his talent, and then there was the Fire-Void Fusion Law talent from last time.
"But winning or losing doesn't really matter to me. Being able to fight so freely—that's worth it."
In the days that followed, Yan Ning would fight two thousand matches every single day.
Two thousand a day, tirelessly.
Not a single one fewer.
His ranking was also skyrocketing.
Because of his previous reputation and high-profile actions, the number of people applying to fight him was enormous.
A full two million three hundred thousand.
Yan Ning fought two thousand matches daily. After seeing the momentum Yan Ning now commanded, many of these applicants no longer wanted to face him.
But once a match application was submitted, it couldn't be canceled.
They could only grit their teeth and wait.
If they chose to forfeit without fighting, they would still lose one Glory Point.
While Yan Ning was constantly refreshing his battle record, in a place countless light-years away from the Ancestral God Secret Realm, within the Demon Clan's territory.
In the void, a massive hall stretched across the emptiness.
At the center of this hall, amidst endless black ripples, stood a colossal throne carved with a giant wolf. Seated upon it was an enormous figure.
This figure was tens of thousands of kilometers tall, radiating an overwhelming pressure, as if even the surrounding space-time bowed beneath him.
"Master!"
A Demon Clan figure, shaped like a Kunpeng and over a thousand kilometers in size, prostrated itself on the ground. Its voice echoed throughout the hall.
"According to information from our inheritors in the Ancestral God Sect, that Demon Flame King has now fought over fifty thousand battles in the Glory World, winning 49,637 and losing only 363. His law insights and combat power place him among the top tier of third-level inheritors on Redbud Island. According to our projections, the probability of him breaking through to Universe Venerable in the future is extremely high."
On the throne, the figure gradually revealed its true face.
It was an incomparably massive Sky Wolf.
The Demon Clan's Universe Master—the Sky Wolf Lord!
"Hmm... is that so."
His low voice spread like ripples.
The Sky Wolf Lord fell into deep thought.
With the support of a million-kilometer Divine Body, the Demon Flame King was already enough to suppress ordinary Universe Venerables.
They hadn't taken him too seriously before, since they all assumed Yan Ning relied on his Divine Body's advantage.
But now it seemed
things weren't that simple.
This Demon Flame King's innate talent was terrifying in its own right.
With a win rate like that in a place like Redbud Island, there was no doubt—Yan Ning's breakthrough to Universe Venerable in the future was practically a foregone conclusion.
At that time, considering Yan Ning's current combat power...
He would likely become another Universe Overlord-level existence in the future!
A Universe Overlord-level existence is an even more important strategic weapon in clan wars than a few Universe Masters.
After all, Universe Overlords can be resurrected.
But Universe Masters cannot.
"It seems I have to reassess this human's threat level."
It lowered its head.
"What are the reactions from the Zerg Clan and the Mechanical Clan?"
"Reply to master, the Mechanical Clan and the Zerg Clan should have also received the news. Barring any surprises, they are likely arranging an assassination."
