The True Truth

The final day of the Top 100 Ranking Tournament.

The entire arena was packed, with powerful figures from all races gathered. The sky Takamagahara had never been so noisy, with countless gazes focused on the throne that had remained unchanged for a thousand years.

That position belongs to the top spot among the top 100.

Uchiha Kei stood at the entrance, with all the members of the Shinobi Alliance behind him.

"Scene."

Naruto called out to him, his face unusually devoid of its usual playful grin.

Uchiha Kei turned around.

"You're back alive," Naruto said. "I haven't used up all my ramen coupons yet."

Uchiha Kei smiled, "Don't worry, you don't need to pay this time."

He turned and strode into the arena.

All was silent.

All eyes were on him—this human, who had never appeared in Takamagahara before, actually had the qualifications to challenge the monster who had reigned for over a thousand years?

"Is it him? The one who killed three of the top 100 members of the Baihe Clan?"

"He doesn't look anything special; there aren't even any fluctuations of energy or rules around him."

"Heh, just wait and see, that monster Jiang Hao will teach him what despair is."

Amidst whispers, Uchiha Kei walked to the center of the arena.

Opposite them, a young man in white stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Jiang Hao.

"Here I am," he said.

"I'm here," Uchiha Kei replied.

The two looked at each other.

Without any warning, Jiang Hao's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Uchiha Kei and threw a punch.

An ordinary punch.

But wherever the fist passed, space itself was annihilated!

Uchiha Kei did not dodge, and met the attack with a punch of his own.

Boom--

The entire arena trembled violently, and the powerful figures from all races watching all paled.

The mere aftershocks of their exchange of blows were enough to make it difficult for anyone below the top 100 to stand firm!

"That's interesting," Jiang Hao smiled.

His figure vanished again, only to reappear behind Uchiha Kei a second later, striking down with a palm.

Within his palm, the power of twenty-three rules erupted simultaneously!

Destruction, time, space, cause and effect, reincarnation...

Each rule is enough to annihilate a pseudo-immortal realm!

Without turning his head, Uchiha Kei his sword in a backhand strike.

A flash of blade light appeared.

With Blade Intent, a complete Zombie World suddenly descended!

The power of twenty-three rules collided with an entire world, unleashing a world-destroying light.

The arena's protective shield shattered instantly, and countless powerful warriors retreated frantically.

"What... what is this?!"

"A world?! He forged a world into his blade?!"

"Monsters! Two monsters!"

Jiang Hao took three steps back, Uchiha Kei took two steps back.

"Not bad." Jiang Hao nodded. "Better than I expected."

He flexed his wrists, and a serious look finally appeared in his eyes.

"Warm-up is over."

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged!

Two hundred and thirty-seven kinds of rule power emerged simultaneously, condensing into a thousand-foot-tall phantom behind him!

The phantom's face was indistinct, only a pair of cold eyes looked down upon everything below.

"This is my path— All Laws Return to One."

Jiang Hao's voice was calm. "Two hundred and thirty-seven rules, fused into one."

"Uchiha Kei, can you stop me?"

Uchiha Kei looked up at the terrifying phantom, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Two hundred and thirty-seven rules? That sounds impressive."

He raised the Black Blade in his hand.

"What if I said..."

A second world slowly emerged on his blade.

It was a brand new world, a world of beautiful mountains and clear waters, a world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers—a world he had just created with his creative authority.

"I have two worlds, can you stop me?"

Jiang Hao's pupils contracted slightly.

"You..."

"Blade One, Blade Two, Sword Three, and Blade Four have never been independent techniques," Uchiha Kei slowly. "They are one."

"The four swords combined into one is my Dao—the myriad realms!"

Boom--

On the Black Blade, the power of two worlds erupted!

One is the Destruction and despair of the Zombie World, the other is the hope and vitality of the new world.

The two intertwine to form an unprecedented power!

That is...

A fusion of creation and Destruction!

Jiang Hao's illusory figure unleashed a punch, and two hundred and thirty-seven rules converged into a pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth.

With a single slash, Uchiha Kei unleashed the power of both worlds, transforming it into a blade of light that spanned the void.

Boom--

The entire Takamagahara was trembling!

Countless powerful figures were blown away by the aftershocks, and within a thousand miles of the arena, all buildings were reduced to dust!

When the light faded, the two figures remained standing in the same spot.

A crack appeared on Jiang Hao's white robe.

A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of Uchiha Kei's mouth.

A draw.

"Okay." Jiang Hao smiled. "That's great."

He dispelled his illusory appearance and slowly walked towards Uchiha Kei.

Uchiha Kei sheathed his sword and watched him quietly.

The two were three steps apart.

"Do you know?" Jiang Hao said, "I've been waiting for this moment for over a thousand years."

Uchiha Kei remained silent.

"Over a thousand years, I have won more than two hundred Top 100 Ranking Tournament and obtained more than two hundred Divine Authority Key."

Jiang Hao's voice was calm, as if he were recounting a trivial matter.

"But do you know what? These rules mean nothing to me."

He raised his head and looked up at the sky Takamagahara.

"Because they cannot kill Him."

He.

The moment Jiang Hao uttered that word, the temperature in the entire arena seemed to drop several degrees.

Uchiha Kei frowned slightly. "Who is He?"

Jiang Hao didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Do you know why my name is Jiang Hao?"

Uchiha Kei was taken aback.

Jiang Hao, that was his name in his previous life.

"Do you want to know the truth?" Jiang Hao looked at him. "The real truth."

Uchiha Kei was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Jiang Hao smiled.

He raised his hand and gently touched Uchiha Kei's forehead.

"Then go see for yourself."
