Losing to other Immortal Cities is just one defeat.

Losing to Dingtian City means complete destruction.

Others are trying to avoid it, who would dare to challenge proactively?

"Haven't you noticed something strange? Dingtian City suddenly stopped challenging."

"I think there's probably something wrong over there."

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

Hearing this, the City Lord of Shuangdeng City was gradually tempted.

Thinking carefully, none of the opponents defeated by Dingtian City before were Ninth-grade Golden Immortals.

And I am a Ninth-grade Golden Immortal.

Was it not luck that they didn't challenge Shuangdeng City before, but because they intentionally avoided me?

The more he thought about it, the more it seemed so.

If you have the strength, who wouldn't want to win a few more battles?

If Dingtian City was confident of defeating Shuangdeng City, how could there be no activity these days?

They should have challenged me long ago.

So, I'm sure to win!

"Let's do it!"

"Beat them back to their original form!"

"Challenge! Challenge!"

On Dingtian City's side, Brother Cheng found himself with nothing to do lately.

Ah Huang and Xiaobai's slumber period was also uncertain.

At this moment, he felt the Jade Ruler tremble.

Then, he and the Ascension Platform were transported to the Challenge Space.

Damn, what's going on?

I've actually been challenged?

He saw silhouettes from Shuangdeng City on the opposite side; similar scenes he had seen over a hundred times and was unimpressed.

The only difference was that this time he was the one being challenged, and the three flags on this side were blue.

"Jiang Cheng, your myth ends today with us from Shuangdeng City!"

Opposite, Shuangdeng City's City Lord, full of confidence, was the first to fly onto the Dueling Platform.

Retreating was not in Brother Cheng's dictionary.

"Thank you for your points."

"What do you mean?"

Shuangdeng City's City Lord couldn't comprehend and could only shake the long spear in his hand.

"Mysterious nonsense!"

"A Ninth-grade Golden Immortal, how could you shake..."

Swish!

His vision and Immortal Soul perception were filled with boundless mist, leaving no gap visible.

The Immortal Body was rapidly eroded, becoming riddled with holes, which was unbelievable to him.

How could a Ninth-grade Golden Immortal's Immortal Body be damaged by a Celestial Immortal's attack?

He frantically wielded his long spear, only to find himself seemingly trapped by countless chains.

Wanting to break out, his whole body felt like it was stuck in a quagmire, completely unable to extricate himself.

Within that mist, negative effects such as blazing flames, frost, thunder, and corrosion came in succession.

"No..."

This was the last sound he made.

Immediately thereafter, the more than twenty thousand people behind him found their City Lord disappeared.

Everything seemed like an illusion, happening too fast.

In just the blink of an eye, the ceiling of the Lower Immortal Realm, a Ninth-grade Golden Immortal, had fallen.

Died cleanly.

They were almost scared senseless.

"City Lord!"

"Lord City Lord..."

Unlike Zhanxiao City before, they still had feelings for their City Lord.

After all, over the past century, they had fought side by side more than two hundred times.

In so many battles, they had faced stronger Immortal Cities, and the City Lord had not always won.

But at least he survived each time.

A Ninth-grade Golden Immortal has many means to save their life; it's not so easy to be killed.

Even if you can't win, can't you escape?

However, this time it was an instant kill.

"What kind of strength does he have?"

"Immortal Venerable! This must be an Immortal Venerable!"

"How could an Immortal Venerable be knocked down to the Lower Immortal Realm?"

"That's impossible..."

Brother Cheng, after collecting the spoils, listened to the discussions from the opposite side, feeling secretly pleased inside.

Sigh, though challenged this time, under the rules of winning two out of three rounds, I was sure to lose.

But unintentionally showing off once more was worth it.

The wealth of a Ninth-grade Golden Immortal was extremely rich; from this City Lord, he obtained resources worth a full 50 billion points.

But forget about the Immortal Venerable stuff.

He had now reached a Seventh-grade Celestial Immortal, with normal combat power only just breaking through the limits of a Profound Immortal.

The instant kill was possible due to a tenfold critical strike, allowing that strike's power to break through the Golden Immortal limits.

After that strike, he was exhausted too.

In the second round that followed, the opponent naturally won without a fight.

And in the third round, just when they thought defeat was certain, Dingtian City forfeited again.

No Essence Core appeared in battle.

This left Shuangdeng City's people who initially thought they were bound to lose both surprised and delighted.

"What's going on?"

"Don't they have an Essence Core?"

"That's impossible; without an Essence Core, the Ascension Platform would collapse."

"Then what's happening now?"

"Yeah, wasn't it said that Dingtian City has two Essence Cores, making this round a foregone conclusion?"

"Could this be the reason Dingtian City hasn't been challenging lately?"

"Their Essence Core has an issue!"

Finally realizing this, Shuangdeng City's people cheered.

No matter what, they secured this victory, right?

Though the City Lord was gone, winning was what mattered.

Looking at the enthusiastic celebrations on the opposite side, Brother Cheng helplessly pouted.

Just this level of aspiration?

Merely a victory, and that too due to the opponent's forfeit, and you can't remain composed?

After this round, the ranking on the Ascension Chart changed.

Shuangdeng City increased from 102 victories to 103.

While Dingtian City fell from 112 victories to 111.

Though unable to see the scene, as a front-ranking Immortal City, they naturally attracted attention.

The invincibly victorious Dingtian City actually lost!

This news quickly set the entire Lower Immortal Realm ablaze, exciting countless Immortal Cities.

The top ten Immortal Cities all sighed in relief at this moment.

Honestly, although they had claimed not to fear before, in reality, they were still very worried.

Just like the first-ranked Five Seas City, with over a dozen Golden Immortals holding the fort, and eight hundred Profound Immortals as their aides.

Dominating with overwhelming power, their previous 157 victories were achieved through relentless crushing.

If not for the second-ranked Bitao City's 146 victories being unreachable, their record would be even higher.

But facing the bizarre Dingtian City was different.

They let the second round pass quietly and still win.

Your dozen Golden Immortals, eight hundred Profound Immortals were completely useless.

"I thought that Dingtian City was strong, but it turns out to be no more than this."

"They couldn't even defeat Shuangdeng City; they don't deserve to be in the top ten!"

"Indeed, we were just intimidated before."

Ninth-place Silver Bell City and seventh-place Red Moon City, currently with 107 and 117 victories respectively.

Both can challenge the 111-win Dingtian City.

"If it weren't for the one-year protection period after a loss, we could go destroy them now!"

"One year isn't very long."

"By then, Dingtian City will be finished."

This Ascension Battle is like this; once a weakness is exposed, it immediately attracts others' attention.

Before, no one dared to provoke; now, it becomes bait, and everyone wants a bite.

However, after learning the details of this battle, the two City Lords suddenly fell silent.

Dingtian City's Essence Core encountered a problem, allowing the last two rounds to be won without a fight.

Steadfastly secure!

But the issue is, what about the first round?

A Ninth-grade Golden Immortal, instantly slain.

Meaning to win, must one sacrifice a City Lord first?

Looking at their earnest subordinates below, clamoring to strike while they're vulnerable, ready to challenge in a year, the two City Lords had expressions of constipation.
