The Companion Beast that was challenged wasn't the first-ranked Primordial Sword Immortal, but the Frost Giant that had been squeezed to sixteenth place.
A Companion Beast named Deep Frost Behemoth appeared on the cube's screen. It looked like a huge octopus and was ice-blue in color. It was on a huge cube platform. The cube was surrounded by the void, so it didn't look like a city.
On the far right side of the screen, a ranking appeared. The sixteenth Frost Giant's name kept flashing as an alarm sounded.
Behind the Frost Giant's name was a 72-hour countdown. One could roughly guess that it was the time for the Frost Giant's owner to consider accepting the challenge. If the countdown ended and the Frost Giant's owner still didn't accept the challenge, it would probably be judged to have lost.
Everyone was discussing if the Frost Giant would accept the challenge. However, there was soon an answer to this question. The alarm stopped and the Frost Giant's name lit up completely. Then, the ranking vanished. The Frost Giant also appeared on the cube where the Deep Frost Behemoth was and looked at it.
The Frost Giant had icy-blue skin. Its head, shoulders, and waist were covered in Frost Iron armor. It also had a huge Frost Iron axe in its hand.
Although the Frost Giant was already huge, it still appeared a little short in front of the Deep Frost Behemoth.
After all, they were Companion Beasts, so there was no need for any unnecessary communication. The Frost Giant roared and cleaved at the Deep Frost Behemoth with the axe in its hand.
The power of ice tore out of the axe, forming a huge ice mark that spread to the Deep Frost Behemoth's body.
The Deep Frost Behemoth's tentacles danced, bringing with them frost as they shattered the ice mark.
The two huge monsters clashed intensely on the cube platform. As they were both ice-elemental Companion Beasts and they had won through brute force, the two terrifying Mythical Companion Beasts fought passionately. Every time they clashed, frost fragments would fly everywhere like fireworks formed from frost.
The two Companion Beasts were evenly matched. They used all sorts of ice-elemental skills, but both of them had high resistance to the cold. Their bodies were extremely powerful, so they only suffered some minor injuries. Neither of them could do a thing to the other.
The Deep Freeze Behemoth finally couldn't help but attack first. It raised its huge tentacles, which had dark blue suction cups on them. The suction cups lit up together and shot out rays of freezing light towards the Frost Giant.
The Frost Giant didn't back down. It raised its giant axe above its head and swung it down fiercely. A river of frost roared out and collided with the Deep Freeze Behemoth's Freezing Light.
The entire cube platform began to freeze due to the two terrifying cold forces. In just a moment, the Frost Giant and the Deep-sea Behemoth were wrapped in ice. The entire platform seemed to be covered by glaciers, and everything became still.
"Who won?" The people who were watching the battle were full of questions.
Now that the two Mythical creatures were frozen in ice, it was difficult to determine the victor.
Suddenly, cracks appeared on the ice. Moments later, the huge ice shattered and the Frost Giant broke out of it. With a huge axe in hand, it roared and slashed at the still frozen Deep Freeze Behemoth.
Just as everyone was extremely excited, thinking that they were about to see the scene of a Mythical Companion Beast being killed again, the Deep Freeze Behemoth's body suddenly transformed into a stream of light and vanished. It seemed to have teleported away from the cube platform.
The first Companion Beast challenge ended in failure. The Deep Freeze Behemoth failed to obtain a ranking, but this battle made many people realize something.
It turned out that the challenge didn't have to be fought to the death. One could even admit defeat and withdraw. This made many people think of something.
Many Companion Beasts might not have the right to snatch first place, but they could challenge the Mythical Companion Beasts of opposing factions to figure out the other party's strength. It would be easier to think of a way to deal with them in the future.
This was especially so for the Federation and overseas factions who were enemies. There was very little intelligence overseas, and the Federation's knowledge of their Companion Beasts was very limited. Taking this opportunity, it might be time to understand the abilities of the Companion Beasts overseas.
Ever since this time, there had been more Companion Beast challenges. The battles of all sorts of top-notch Companion Beasts were a visual feast for ordinary people. It allowed many people who might never come into contact with Mythical Companion Beasts their entire lives to witness the strength and terror of Mythical Companion Beasts.
The challenges weren't limited to Companion Beasts that weren't ranked. Companion Beasts on the ranking could also challenge each other. However, they could only challenge high-level Companion Beasts at lower levels. They couldn't go against the flow.
During the challenge, one only needed to find a cube and inject Essence Energy like when they were on the ranking. They would be teleported to a black cube in the void.
The black cube was extremely huge. Fighting on it wouldn't affect anyone or the city. After the battle ended, one would be teleported back to the cube they were originally at.
During the battle, the owner could also choose to withdraw their Companion Beast. Withdrawing was equivalent to admitting defeat.
The cube's initial ranking was only a comprehensive judgment of the Companion Beast's stats, skills, Life Providences, Life Souls, and Wheel of Destiny. However, it wasn't completely accurate, nor did it represent actual combat strength.
Ever since the challenges began, there had been many examples of Companion Beasts at the bottom of the rankings defeating Companion Beasts at the top.
The overall combat strength ranking didn't mean actual combat strength.
However, the challenges in the beginning were basically low-ranked challenges. The top ten Companion Beasts hadn't been challenged.
However, in just a few days, this rule was broken. A Companion Beast that had never been on the ranking or heard of had actually challenged Primordial Sword Immortal, who was ranked first.
This battle attracted the attention of the entire Federation and overseas. To be ranked first, even if it was just the judgment of the cube, Primordial Sword Immortal's strength wasn't to be underestimated.
"From the looks of it, someone finally can't help but want to probe Primordial Sword Immortal. Do you think that Dark Demon Snake is from the Federation or overseas?" An Tianzuo asked An Sheng as he watched the video broadcast.
"It's possible, but I think it's more likely overseas," An Sheng replied.
"Why?" An Tianzuo asked with interest.
"Although we haven't found out who Primordial Sword Immortal's owner is, based on Primordial Sword Immortal's appearance and other aspects, the possibility of it being a Companion Beast from the Federation is very high. Logically speaking, the overseas factions should be in a hurry to understand its abilities," An Sheng answered.
"That makes sense. Then, let's see how much strength that Darkness Fiend Snake can force out of Primordial Sword Immortal." An Tianzuo's gaze landed on the screen again.
