Chapter 1271: A Chaos Jade Crystal Emerges (1)
Perhaps by design or mere coincidence, the True Saint Rankings were updated in the wake of several titanic clashes between the top-ranked True Saints. The changes in the Eternal Register were instantly broadcasted. Thus, knowledge of the update reached countless True Saints and Dao Zenithels throughout the Nine Megaverses Spacetime within moments of its release.
"True Saint Luo Quan is truly fearsome. After a string of victories, he even defeated True Saint Dong Yi, seizing a position among the top three."
"True Saint Dong Yi's power is nothing short of terrifying. He fought a long and hard battle against True Saint Luan Hai, falling just short of victory."
"Cloud Saint is even stronger. He too has taken the fourth step of his self-created Dao. His advancement to Dao Zenithel is inevitable now."
"True Saint Bai Bing, once ranked among the top ten, was killed by Cloud Saint. She has yet to resurrect and was unceremoniously booted out of the top ten."
"Both True Saint Wu Yuan and True Saint Ming Jian have clawed their way into the top ten. Soon, they may break into the top three." Countless eternal beings engaged in heated discussions, analyzing the super powerhouses that dominated the top of the rankings.
Since the Primordium, when Wan Yu Tower first established the True Saint Rankings, two patterns had remained consistent throughout the ages.
First, the overall strength of True Saints throughout the endless cosmic sea had steadily grown over time. This was natural; True Saints were eternal beings, their power inevitably growing stronger across the eons.
Second, the might displayed by the top-ranking True Saints fluctuated unpredictably. During certain occasions, these beings would display tremendous surges of strength after eons of seclusion.
The birth of the Tenth Chaos Void represented precisely such an occasion.
Some, like Cloud Saint and True Saint Luo Quan, had managed to take fourth step during these eons of seclusion. Had the Tenth Chaos Void not emerged, this fact might have remained secret. And after a period of cultivation, they would have advanced straight to the Dao Zenithel stage, no longer qualifying for the True Saint Rankings.
The appearance of the Tenth Chaos Void, however, had prompted them to postpone their breakthroughs, joining the competition and shining brilliantly among their peers.
