The Ancient Desolate World was many times vaster than the Black Tortoise Continent. Just the cities under Yao Kun's command numbered in the hundreds.
There were a few Dao Enlightenment Realm powerhouses in every city. When these people gathered together, it was naturally an unprecedented grand occasion.
On this day, the curtains to the highly anticipated Hegemony Competition had finally been drawn. All the Dance Realm experts in every city were basically heading towards Honorable City where Honorable Yao Kun resided.
Although Lin Xiu was considered an outsider in Cloud Sea City, his strength was simply too powerful. Furthermore, many of the patriarchs of the families had made great progress under Lin Xiu's training.
Therefore, Cloud Sea City placed all their hopes on Lin Xiu in this City Competition. They hoped that under Lin Xiu's leadership, they would be able to achieve brilliant results.
Apart from Liu Hai, who was still imprisoned in the Yun Family's dungeon, the rest of the group of five were already sharpening their weapons. Their eyes were shining brightly. Although only three months had passed, they were confident that their current strength could not be compared to the past. It was as though they had been reborn.
If it was said that they merely hoped to be able to ensure that Ocean of Clouds City wouldn't be destroyed in the beginning, then they had even greater ambitions now. They hoped to display the might of Ocean of Clouds City through the Supremacy Competition so that they could swallow those cities at the bottom of the rankings.
There were some who rejoiced and some who were worried. This year's War for the Cities was finally about to officially begin.
After Lin Xiu and the others arrived at the Exalt Realm, they arrived at a remote courtyard, and it seemed extremely shabby. Lin Xiu was quite surprised by this. No matter what, there were a few Dao Comprehending Realm experts in Ocean of Clouds City. Even though they weren't very formidable in the entire Primordial World, they shouldn't be in such a shabby state while serving under a 1st level Exalt Realm expert.
Seeing Lin Xiu's expression, Yun Tian, as the nominal leader of the team, had a look of shame on his face. He said to Lin Xiu, "Brother Lin, I'm really sorry. Because of the previous few City Competitions, our Cloud Sea City has always been ranked at the bottom. The arrangement of the courtyard is basically decided by the ranking of the City Competition. This time, it has been hard on you."
Lin Xiu shrugged slightly. He was just a little surprised. He actually did not care about the treatment. This time, since he had promised Cloud Sea City that he would help them, he would display his strength.
Of course, due to the special cultivation technique that Lin Xiu cultivated, he wasn't able to display his full strength. But even so, he could be considered as an extremely formidable figure in the Dao Comprehending realm. If nothing unexpected happened, it wouldn't be a problem for him to pull Cloud Sea City up a few ranks in the Battle of the Cities this time.
This did not mean that Lin Xiu did not have any feelings for Cloud Sea City. It was because of the importance of the Star Art. Moreover, the Ancient Desolate World was a medium-sized world in the universe, so there must be the claws of those top forces. If Lin Xiu exposed his inheritance, it was very likely that it would bring about a fatal disaster.
The night passed uneventfully. The five of them sat cross-legged in their respective rooms, trying to elevate their auras to their peak.
This time, the special training for three months had increased a lot of confidence in their hearts. If they could only be considered as below average among the experts of the Dao Enlightenment Realm before, after this special training, each of them could completely control their own strength.
Although their cultivation level did not increase, there was a huge improvement in the degree of the eruption of their combat strength. This was also the reason why they were confident that Cloud Sea City would not be as dismal as before.
When the sky was just starting to brighten, an attendant came to the courtyard where Cloud Sea City was located and reminded them that it was time to go to the venue of the City Competition.
Although Lin Xiu was not very familiar with the place, of course, the other experts were obviously already familiar with the place. After agreeing, they did not even need the attendant to lead the way and immediately rushed over with Lin Xiu.
"This time, we must avenge our humiliation and let those who used to look down on us know how powerful the current Cloud Sea City is." Ming Tian said to his companions. As the leader in name, he also shouldered the greatest pressure. After all, Cloud Sea City was the inheritance left by his ancestor to the Yun family. If the establishment of Cloud Sea City was abolished in his hands, it would undoubtedly be extremely ironic.
Since everyone nodded, the head of the Zhang family, as the think tank of Cloud Sea City, had a rare expression on his face at this moment. With a high-spirited expression, he said loudly to his companions, "Don't worry, this time, we will definitely be able to maintain the status of Cloud Sea City. It is very likely that we will even advance a few steps. In that case, we will naturally be able to obtain the Venerable Sir's appreciation."
The others were extremely in agreement and nodded at the same time. However, Lin Xiu reminded them.
"You absolutely can't let your guard down. The Primordial World is so huge, and there might be some extraordinary cultivators. Even though your Cloud Sea City has my help, what if some extremely outstanding cultivators appear in the other cities? Moreover, all of you absolutely can't forget about Liu Hai. I believe that the power behind him will definitely cause trouble during the Battle of Cities."
Lin Xiu's words caused everyone's mood to become solemn. It wasn't that they didn't think of such a possibility, but this was the headquarters of the Yao Hai Venerable. Even if that general had broken through to the Venerable Realm, he would definitely not be a match for Yao Kun.
However, when immortals fought, mortals suffered. For those at that level, every move of theirs was unfathomable. Thus, they all kept a lookout in their hearts.
Finally, they arrived at the location of the battle. It was an island suspended in mid-air, looking extremely magnificent and majestic.
Moreover, everyone who came here had an extremely powerful aura. All of them were existences that had reached the Dao Comprehension Realm.
When everyone arrived, a sonorous voice spread across the entire island.
"The once-in-a-century City Competition has finally begun. Many cities are already sharpening their swords, wanting to display their strength in this battle. Here, I would like to remind all of you that if you are ranked last three times in a row, then you will be disqualified as a city. I wish all of you good luck."
As his voice rang out, the atmosphere in the plaza became much more solemn. Not only was the City Battle Competition a way for Sovereign Yao Kun to discover the quality of the experts under him, it was also a way for those related to him to understand how powerful Sovereign Yao Kun's forces were.
The more powerful the world, the more importance it placed on the pursuit of strength.
Just like the Dao Comprehension Realm experts from Cloud Sea City, they hoped to shine brightly in the City Competition. The Venerable Realm did not mean that they had reached the peak of this world. There were still many experts above them. However, Yao Kun's current status was many times higher than the Dao Comprehension Realm experts.
Everyone in the arena had different thoughts as they ascended the arenas one after another.
This was something that had been confirmed a long time ago. The opponents of Cloud Sea City this time were not very powerful. Compared to Cloud Sea City, they were only on par.
As a city that had been placed at the bottom of the rankings twice in a row, they'd resolved to go all out this time. As soon as the 5 members of Ocean of Clouds City arrived at the combat arena and saw their opponents' formation, their hearts couldn't help but jerk.
They did not know what kind of secret technique the five people in front of them had used, but their auras had reached the shocking peak of the Dao Comprehension Realm. This was simply impossible.
"What's going on? We know that the five of them are only at the middle stage of the Dao Comprehension Realm at most. How could they have improved so much in just a short hundred years? "The Zhang Family Master cried out involuntarily. He was not willing to believe what was happening in front of him.
Although everyone thought so in their hearts, the truth had happened in front of them, so they could only bite the bullet and face it.
"Everyone, please stay calm. The rules of this competition are actually advantageous to us. The initial selection is only to determine who in the team can last until the end. Although the other party has five experts who have reached the peak of the Dao Comprehension Realm, I believe that with the strength of the five of us, through this period of training, we should be able to hold back three of them if we don't care about the price. At that time, I believe that with Brother Lin's strength, there should be some hope."
At this moment, Yun Tian couldn't help but cheer for his team. Morale was extremely important. Once everyone's morale was low, it was very likely that they would lose their confidence in the upcoming battles. That kind of situation was something that no one wanted to see.
In this regard, Lin Xiu did not feel any pressure. As early as when he reached the 10th level of the Universe realm, he was already comparable to the experts of the Dao Comprehension Realm. Now that his actual cultivation realm had reached the peak of the Creation realm, his improvement over the years was not just for show. Once he unleashed his full strength, he might even be able to fight against Yao Kun.
As for the witness of the battle between the two cities, it was a white-haired old man. He looked very ordinary, but the glint in his eyes revealed how powerful he was.
"I don't need to say more about the rules of the competition. As long as you can advance smoothly this time, you will be able to guarantee the establishment of the cities. I hope that all of you can do your best." The old man said indifferently, then looked at the teams on both sides. After seeing that no one had any objections, he announced the official start of the competition.
Both sides were old acquaintances. Because their cities were adjacent, they usually interacted with each other.
In fact, they even had a rather good relationship in private. However, the Supremacy Tournament concerned the life and death of their respective clans. They had no choice but to give it their all. Thus, after a casual greeting, the ten of them instantly started fighting.
The other party was worthy of being an existence that had reached the peak of the Dao Comprehension Realm. Although he was still very unfamiliar with the control of his strength, he actually suppressed the five experts of the Cloud Sea City in a short period of time.
Even though the four patriarchs of the Cloud Sea City had made very good progress under Lin Xiu's training and in terms of the control of their strength, they were many times stronger than the people opposite them. However, the gap between every small realm in the Dao Comprehension Realm was like a huge chasm that could not be made up for with strength techniques.
