Burning Lamp's Discontent

At this moment, everyone was waiting for the Treasure Ranking to continue.

The entire Primordial World was vast and boundless.

To ordinary cultivators, it was nearly infinite.

Perhaps there really were some unknown treasures hidden away, who could say.

Almost all living beings had their eyes fixed on the sky-covering Hongmeng Purple Gold List.

The rankings had now been announced down to the fifties.

Most of the treasures that shook the Primordial World had already appeared.

Yet there were still over fifty spots unrevealed.

That was rather thought-provoking.

People's curiosity grew ever stronger.

Every single one of them looked tense.

Many were also buzzing with discussion.

"The treasures revealed so far, aside from those of the saints' disciples, many are in the hands of the Demon Race. Perhaps the Demon Race is the true protagonist of the future..."

"Don't speak recklessly. As everyone knows, the Sorcerer Race's influence is far greater than the Demon Race's now. The Sorcerer Race is born with a flawed Primordial Spirit, but their physical bodies are extremely formidable. If a Physical Body Ranking is announced in the future, the Sorcerer Race will surely steal the spotlight. It's too early to claim the Demon Race rules the Primordial World."

Hearing this, the other person quickly shut up.

After all, those Demon Race and Sorcerer Race great powers were still watching. If they offended them, even a random underling sent their way would be trouble.

"Have you all noticed? The famous treasures of the Primordial World have basically all appeared... yet there are still over fifty vacancies ahead... what's going on?"

This was clearly also a great power, and as soon as he spoke, it resonated with other great powers.

It was indeed true, and quite thought-provoking.

"I really hope it speeds up. I can't wait to know what other treasures are hidden in the Primordial World..."

"If the owner lacks sufficient background or strength, once exposed, it will surely invite deadly disaster. Perhaps the Primordial World will be drenched in blood and storm again..."

As the crowd debated.

The Treasure Ranking was revealed one by one.

Finally, it reached the fifty-first spot.

Everyone trembled with excitement.

After this treasure was revealed.

It would be the top fifty of the Primordial Treasure Chart.

Then, the true peak showdown would begin.

Another beam of golden light fell from the massive Hongmeng Purple Gold List.

This golden light manifested in the air, finally revealing a ruler-like treasure.

This ruler was somewhat peculiar, part ruler, part jade blade.

When the crowd saw this ruler, they gasped in shock.

Because this ruler was far too famous. Many had guessed it would rank at least in the top twenty... and might even contend for the top ten.

But they never expected it to only rank fifty-first...

This was utterly baffling.

Many groaned in pain within their hearts.

Their boundless reverence for this treasure dimmed.

Could it be that this treasure wasn't as powerful as legend claimed?

Just an empty shell?

This deeply disappointed them.

Even the master of this ruler, upon seeing it rank only fifty-first, was deeply disappointed, his face faintly paling.

He had held such high hopes for this treasure.

It had never let him down.

Since ancient times, this treasure had followed him, slaying countless enemies.

In his heart, this treasure could at least firmly rank in the top fifteen... and might even break into the top ten.

But he never expected it to rank only fifty-first, so low...

It was beyond his imagination.

Just as the great powers of heaven and earth were in an uproar.

A beam of innate purple qi appeared, and then Grand Dao Script manifested in the void:

["Treasure Ranking Fifty-First: Cosmos Ruler. Rank: Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. The Cosmos Ruler contains the Primordial Qi of the Cosmos, formed by uniting the world's yin and yang, representing the yin and yang of the world! Possesses the Divine Power to shake the Primordial World, and can even briefly overturn its yin and yang. Master: Burning Lamp!"]

The crowd, still murmuring in discussion, was utterly stunned upon seeing the Grand Dao Script's description of this treasure.

Then, gradually, the buzz reignited.

This legendary treasure, the Cosmos Ruler, was by no means weak—in fact, it was terrifyingly powerful.

Possessing the Divine Power to shake the Primordial Land and capable of overturning the Primordial's yin and yang in a short time.

With a treasure like this, could anyone call it weak?

That would be the greatest absurdity under heaven.

Yet such a treasure was ranked only fifty-first on the Treasure Ranking?

Wasn't that utterly baffling?

Could the authority of this ranking be in question?

Everyone's expression flickered with uncertainty, doubt creeping into their hearts.

But after a moment of doubt, they all shook their heads.

This Hongmeng Purple Gold List had been able to repair the Heavenly Palace, stand against the Six Great Sages, and even wound Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The list it produced could not possibly be false.

Thus, the matter was already clear.

There were still fifty treasures in the Primordial Land whose power far surpassed the Cosmos Ruler.

Just as the Primordial crowd was marveling, an immensely loud voice resounded through heaven and earth.

This voice belonged to Taoist Randeng:

"The Cosmos Ruler is only ranked fifty-first? This humble one does not accept this..."

The voice was extremely resonant.

It could almost be said to echo across the entire Primordial Land, heard clearly by everyone.

This humble one does not accept...

This humble one does not accept...

Does not accept...

Everyone felt a surge of sympathy for Taoist Randeng.

And indeed, it was true.

The Cosmos Ruler was already so powerful as to be considered monstrous.

To overturn the Primordial's yin and yang in a short time—what a terrifying ability that was!

Yet even with such strength, it was still ranked fifty-first...

It truly was worthy of sympathy.

At that moment, another immensely loud voice rang through heaven and earth:

"Daoist Randeng, do not be hasty. Let us see how the remaining treasures are ranked..."

"This Hongmeng Purple Gold List possesses such might; the authority of the list it produces surely cannot be false..."

The speaker was Zhen Yuanzi, who had some acquaintance with Randeng...

His words seemed meant to console Randeng, but his tone carried a strange edge.

There was even a strong hint of schadenfreude leaking through.

As these words were spoken, faint traces of mockery could be sensed across heaven and earth.

Taoist Randeng was one of the Innate Lifeforms, inherently extremely powerful.

Later, he had attended lectures at the Purple Cloud Palace three times, making him one of the Three Thousand Red Dust Guests.

Even across the entire Primordial Land, setting aside the Sages, he was among the most formidable existences.

Yet the two powerful treasures in his possession were not ranked highly.

One of them, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, was placed only at a hundredth.

The second treasure he had placed great hopes in, the Cosmos Ruler, was merely ranked fifty-first.

Faced with this situation, it was only natural that some would mock him.

Hearing these voices, Taoist Randeng's face suddenly darkened.

These people dared to mock him?

Truly too detestable.

His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he held back.

Instead, he stared gloomily at the sky.

He would carefully examine what treasures were ranked ahead of him. What gave them the right to be placed before the Cosmos Ruler?

If the treasure ranked fiftieth was not stronger than the Cosmos Ruler, then it would prove this ranking was nothing but a joke.

Just then, the dense Purple-Gold Qi in the sky began to churn once more.

Seeing this commotion, everyone grew excited, their eyes wide, gazes fixed intently on the heavens above...
