The battle ended with Zi Daoyang fleeing away in defeat.

The position of the first rank in the Immortal Ascension Rankings was about to shift.

After this battle, Qin Wentian?s name rose to the peak, like the sun at its zenith.

When Zi Daoyang left, the experts of the Violet Sect all felt shame. They had all pursued the strongest expert in the City of Ancient Emperors, but he?d been knocked down from his divine pedestal. Everyone understood that from today onwards, the Violet Sect would no longer exist.

In fact, Zi Daoyang hadn?t even taken Xiao Lengyue away with him.

Qin Wentian stood arrogantly in the air. He stared at the spot where Zi Daoyang had vanished, before glancing at Xiao Lengyue. Just a single glance was sufficient?his incomparably sharp eyes caused Xiao Lengyue to feel a wave of coldness chilling her entire body and she instantly tensed. If Qin Wentian wanted to kill her now, it would be as easy as flipping his palms around. Given the strength Qin Wentian had exhibited when fighting Zi Daoyang, she?d be too weak to defend herself.

But she only saw a cold smile appear on Qin Wentian?s face as he stared sarcastically at Xiao Lengyue. “It looks like you, Xiao Lengyue, are ultimately nothing in Zi Daoyang?s heart. How sad.”

Xiao Lengyue paled, yet she had nothing to say in response. Jun Mengchen and the others stepped forward. Jun Mengchen then pointed at Xiao Lengyue, “This slut has always wanted our lives. First it was the Twin Stars Alliance and then she tried to follow Zi Daoyang. Let me go finish her off.”

Whether it was from shame or fear, Xiao Lengyue went completely pale.

“Don?t worry, I won?t bully you. If you can defeat me, I can guarantee your life will be unharmed,” said Jun Mengchen as he stepped out with an extremely cold expression on his face. Although Xiao Lengyue was beautiful, her heart was like that of a viper or scorpion. They didn?t really have a grudge against her, yet she?d been determined to kill them. Since that was the case, there was no need to be polite with a person of such character.

“Scram the fuck out!” Jun Mengchen roared. Xiao Lengyue?s body trembled involuntarily, but she still stepped out. A wave of coldness radiated from her and froze everything in her surroundings. However, Jun Mengchen?s entire body was covered in layers of Emperor-King armor, unexcelled in this world. His Clear Skies Worldly Diagram appeared and revolved frenziedly behind him, emitting a resplendent light that made him appear like a king among kings.

With a single step forward, the heavens and earth rumbled as his might towered into the sky.

Xiao Lengyue unleashed her constellation as waves of frozen energy swept over everything. Jun Mengchen continued to step forward, and each of his steps were filled with a supreme unparalleled force. Finally, with a single punch, everything around him exploded. Such power was simply invincible. It transformed into chaotic currents that devastated everything as it shot towards Xiao Lengyue.

Xiao Lengyue?s long hair fluttered in the wind, exuding a sense of poignancy as though she was being forced down the path to her doom. Her Frozen Extermination Art was powerful, but when in the face of Jun Mengchen?s supreme fist light, her frozen energy was completely obliterated amidst the sounds of endless explosions. Jun Mengchen didn?t give her any face at all. He took another step forward as both his fists swept across the air, exuding a might that belonged only to kings, condemning her with its devastating power.

The air trembled, and Xiao Lengyue did her best to evade the attack. But under the chaotic torrents of his violent and berserk might, all her defenses were blasted apart and finally, with a thunderous boom, that power blasted into her body and she was slammed ruthlessly to the ground. She gasped and coughed out blood, her face turning even paler than before.

?BOOM!? Jun Mengchen?s Emperor-Force bore down on her harshly. He glanced down with disdain at Xiao Lengyue, “Is this your so-called pride? What capabilities do you have to be proud of at all?”

Xiao Lengyue continued gasping, coughing out more blood. She resembled a withered flower whose petals had fallen.

“Or maybe, your source of pride has always been your beauty instead of your strength?” The disdain in Jun Mengchen?s eyes further intensified. The layers of Emperor-King armor enveloping him vanished as his aura receded. A look of sympathy then flashed across his face as he glanced at Xiao Lengyue, feeling pity for her.

“What a pitiful woman. I feel so much contempt that I?m reluctant to kill you.” Jun Mengchen retracted the Emperor-Force with a wave of his hand. He then turned and walked back, staring at Qin Wentian as he asked, “Senior Brother, what do you think we should do with her?”

“Since you don?t wish to kill her, just forget it. She?s insignificant, and I only feel pity when I look at her,” Qin Wentian said indifferently, his tone emotionless. However, it was precisely the way he was acting that caused Xiao Lengyue to feel even more sorrow, and her body shuddered lightly.

At this instant, Xiao Lengyue felt as though she?d been abandoned by the entire world, becoming an object of pity in the eyes of everyone present.

There was a time when she, Xiao Lengyue, had radiated a brilliance that made countless people wish to follow her, all willing to act as the stars to her moon.

There was a time when just a sentence from her, Xiao Lengyue, had been enough to make countless geniuses step out to fight for her, never flinching even with their lives at stake.

There was a time when she, Xiao Lengyue, had exuded a magnificence that surpassed the generations, and had been ranked sixth in the Immortal Ascension Rankings. She was a supreme beauty that had countless suitors pursuing her.

And now it was all over, and her past was now nothing but a dream. Now, with the appearance of Qin Wentian, that bubble had burst. The illusions had shattered, and only boundless sorrow remained.

Tipping her head, Xiao Lengyue stared at the dusky sky when all of a sudden, a smile flickered in her eyes. However, this smile was a smile of sadness. She finally realized she only had herself to blame for all that had happened.

She?d always felt that everyone should play the stars to her moon. She?d always felt that everyone should leave the best for her. She?d always believed that she could do no wrong with her beauty and her strength, with countless suitors wishing to pursue her. But everything had been nothing but an illusion and at this moment, all the illusions had shattered.

Standing up, Xiao Lengyue propped up her injured body and turned to slowly walk away in a state of misery. She cut a truly lonely silhouette as the geniuses all stared at her departing back.

Li Yu stared at Xiao Lengyue?s lonely back, and he sighed and shook his head. He truly hoped that after this experience, Xiao Lengyue would be able to change herself.

“Brother Qin, congratulations. After today?s battle, you?ll surely be ranked first in the Immortal Ascension Rankings.”

“This is truly a matter of glory for the Qin Sect. Brother Qin has defeated Zi Daoyang, and it?s most likely that from now on no one in the City of Ancient Emperors will be able to contend for supremacy against you. This truly has the qualifications to be known as the supreme battle at the peak of the City of Ancient Emperors,” The experts of the Qin Sect spoke, They were all extremely impressed, and filled with admiration towards Qin Wentian.

After that battle, Qin Wentian truly did have the qualifications to be proud.

However, Qin Wentian shook his head instead. “Mo Xie?s current strength is definitely not weaker than Zi Daoyang?s.”

“Oh?” A strange expression appeared on the faces of the geniuses. Qin Wentian actually felt no pride at defeating Zi Daoyang. At this moment, he still felt the danger that Mo Xie posed to him, and it was greater when compared to Zi Daoyang.

“But Mo Xie is ranked second. No matter how strong he is, he shouldn?t be stronger than Zi Daoyang, right?”

“Mo Xie has also experienced that miraculous encounter in the Antiquity City. His original strength was no weaker than Zi Daoyang back then, so he should only be stronger now,” Qin Wentian replied. Mo Xie had gone through the baptism of the Sacred Luminance, and his potential had been stimulated. Before this, he had already established an indestructible physique, and now it was most likely that the strength of Mo Xie?s body wasn?t inferior to his.

Hence, although Qin Wentian had defeated Zi Daoyang, he still didn?t feel that he was invincible. He felt that with Mo Xie?s current strength, Mo Xie should be stronger than Zi Daoyang.

“In that case, Zi Daoyang will at most be ranked third in the Immortal Ascension Rankings,” said someone. “Today, the experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect also invited the Evil Palace, but no one actually showed up. We have no idea if Mo Xie was secretly observing the battle.”

“That must be the case.” Qin Wentian?s eyes gleamed with sharpness. Earlier in the Underworld Mountains, that was precisely what Mo Xie had done. He?d hidden in the shadows, appearing only when both the Qin Sect and the Violet Sect had suffered from casualties. Zi Daoyang was insufferably arrogant, but he wasn?t that scheming. Mo Xie was different. He was ruthless and insidious, hence he was more dangerous in comparison.

“Mo Xie, if you wish to fight, just let me know!” Qin Wentian stood in the air and roared, issuing his next challenge.

He knew Mo Xie would hear this for sure, even if he wasn?t present today.

Everyone stared at Qin Wentian. It looked like Qin Wentian wouldn?t stop until he challenged Mo Xie.

“Brothers of the Qin Sect, thank you for your help today. Let us return,” Qin Wentian announced. Moments later, the geniuses left and the spectators opened up a path for them. This battle was already enough to make the City of Ancient Emperors remember the name of that supreme genius.

And when Qin Wentian?s silhouette vanished, everyone departed the area.

The battle shocked the entire City of Ancient Emperors, and many started to pay attention to the changes in the Immortal Ascension Rankings.

And indeed, the updates were done quite swiftly. The new rankings were already out, and shocking changes had been made to the top ten of rankings.

#1 ranker: Qin Wentian.

#2 ranker: Mo Xie.

#3 ranker: Zi Daoyang.

#4 ranker: Nanfeng Yunxi.

#5 ranker: Qing`er.

#6 ranker: Jun Mengchen.

#7 ranker: Qin Wentian?s demonic beast companion, Little Rascal.

#8 ranker: Hua Taixu.

#9 ranker: Xuan Yang.

#10 ranker: Qin Wentian?s demonic beast companion, Purgatory the Vermillion Bird.

#11 ranker: Zi Qingxuan.

When the rankings were updated, a wave of commotion swept over the entire City of Ancient Emperors. Other than Qin Wentian officially ranking first, the position of the second rank wasn?t Zi Daoyang, but instead was given to Mo Xie.

It was because Qin Wentian had fought head-on with Zi Daoyang, and forcibly defeated him with such overwhelming strength. It was also because Zi Daoyang had been previously ranked above Mo Xie, so the position of the one at the peak shifted to Qin Wentian.

Other than Mo Xie, Zi Daoyang, and Xuan Yang, everyone else ranked in the top eleven were either Qin Wentian?s friends or his demonic beast companions. One could very well imagine how shocking it all was.

In the past, because Qin Wentian?s light was too brilliant, it had covered the light radiating from the others. But those who had personally spectated the battle between the Qin Sect and the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect were all very clear that the strength of Qin Wentian?s friends were truly so powerful that they were tyrannical. This updated ranking wasn?t in any way an exaggeration.

With regards to the Qin Sect, the various experts headed into the depths of the Underworld Mountains after the battle, searching for the Antiquity City they?d heard about from Nanfeng Yunxi and Qin Wentian. When they saw the updated rankings, they couldn?t control the throbbing in their hearts, and were seized with the thirst of gaining more power!
