The Top Treasure Has No Reward? The Supreme Hongmeng Ranking Backed Down?

Compared to the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, what Hongjun truly cared about was what exactly the treasure ranked first was.

Now, the treasure ranked second was the Supreme Ranking that spanned Hong Huang, already a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure.

Then the treasure ranked first surely was as well.

He simply did not know what kind of treasure it was, who possessed it, what reward it would bring, or what tremendous uproar it would stir.

"Buzz..."

At that moment, waves of exceedingly ethereal humming sounded from the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking.

Immediately afterward, streams of terrifying might began to gather.

[The treasure ranked first on the Treasure Ranking shall now be announced. As this treasure ranks beyond the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, it shall no longer receive a ranking reward!]

"Phew... Finally, there's no reward!"

"Hahaha, so what if it's first? It still gets no reward!"

"Exactly, exactly..."

Upon hearing the voice from the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Experts—even the Six Sages of Zixiao Palace and Hongjun Dao Ancestor—let out a sigh of relief.

If this time it truly bestowed something beyond the limits of what they could bear, causing flaws to appear in their Dao hearts, what then?

"Hmph!"

"It was one thing for this shabby little ranking to rely on This Seat's intervention before, but now it actually refuses to grant a treasure reward?"

"Is it forcing us to strike and blast it to pieces?"

At that moment, a cold snort suddenly rang out from the heavens. It was the voice of Beast Emperor Shen Ni, who had previously acted to save Old Ancestor Minghe.

The instant those words emerged, they echoed throughout Hong Huang, shocking all races.

The Supreme Hongmeng Ranking was a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure that even dared punish the Dao Ancestor. Did Shen Ni no longer wish to live?

"No, listen to what Shen Ni means—the treasure ranked first belongs to Dao Lord Taichu?"

"Is that true? Dao Lord Taichu actually has a treasure that surpasses the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking?"

"This... With such a treasure, who would need any reward?"

"Exactly!"

"..."

It was impossible for the experts of all races not to be envious, jealous, and resentful. Naturally, they did not want Dao Lord Taichu to receive any more rewards.

[Hongmeng Palace Guard Shen Ni has rendered service to the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking and shall receive one wisp of Primordial Violet Qi, to be distributed together with the treasure ranking reward!]

The Supreme Hongmeng Ranking trembled slightly, transmitting that exceedingly ethereal and mysterious voice, shaking all of Hong Huang.

"No way?"

"Saving Old Ancestor Minghe earned him a strand of Primordial Violet Qi?"

"Isn't there a little too much Primordial Violet Qi nowadays?"

"How could this be?"

"Could more Sages be born in Hong Huang?"

"And wasn't it called Hongmeng Wanyuan Palace?"

"Or is it simply called Hongmeng Palace?"

"..."

The exchange between Shen Ni and the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking had already stunned the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Experts.

Even the Sages who had acted earlier were now filled with regret.

Had they known this would happen, why would they have fought over Minghe's treasures? Wouldn't it have been enough to simply act and protect him?

"Hmph!"

"Though This Emperor is a guard, I have no use for that Primordial Violet Qi!"

"Do not think this treasure can offset the ranking reward for my Lord's treasure!"

As his voice fell, an astonishing spatial rift suddenly appeared above the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking.

Immediately afterward, the Beast Emperor Halberd shot out at high speed, smashing toward the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking.

"Isn't this... too impulsive?"

"Even a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure that the Dao Ancestor could not suppress—Beast Emperor Shen Ni dares to attack it?"

"He was born a ferocious beast after all. No matter how strong he is, his brains may not be much use!"

"Sigh... Is he not afraid of the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking's punishment?"

"..."

At the sight of this, the eyes of the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Experts nearly popped from their sockets.

How could a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure that even the Dao Ancestor could not suppress possibly be suppressed by a single Beast Emperor Halberd?

Could it be that Shen Ni wasn't afraid of the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking's punishment?

What if there were other rankings in the future, and none of them granted rewards to Hongmeng Palace Persons? Wouldn't that be a massive loss?

Within Zixiao Palace!

The Six Sages all rose to their feet, extending their divine senses toward Hong Huang at top speed as they watched Shen Ni's attack.

They wanted to know just how powerful Shen Ni truly was, and whether he would be punished.

If there was no punishment at all, perhaps they could also try refining the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking in the future.

Just as the Beast Emperor Halberd, brimming with innate fierce fiendish qi, was about to strike the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, a massive Light Pillar suddenly emerged from the ranking, forcibly blocking the halberd.

[Hongmeng Palace Guard Beast Emperor Shen Ni intends to destroy the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking and shall be punished!]

[From this day onward, for all rankings...]

"Quick, quick! The Supreme Hongmeng Ranking is about to punish Shen Ni!"

"As expected of an ownerless Hongmeng Supreme Treasure—magnificent! It won't even give Dao Lord Taichu of Hongmeng Palace any face!"

"Hahaha! What Beast Emperor Shen Ni? What Hongmeng Palace Guard? Before the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, he can't stir up any waves!"

"..."

Before the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking could announce the punishment, countless Living Beings from the myriad races who envied Hongmeng Palace's treasure rewards burst into laughter.

The few peak Quasi-Saints whom Beast Emperor Shen Ni had stopped earlier, preventing them from snatching Old Ancestor Minghe's treasures, did the same.

Even the Six Sages within Zixiao Palace revealed delighted expressions.

"This Shen Ni truly acts with reckless audacity!"

"It would be best if all the rewards granted by Hongmeng Palace were deducted!"

"Exactly, it should be so!"

"..."

Though they feared Dao Lord Taichu and the beings within Hongmeng Palace, this time it was a punishment from the Supreme Hongmeng Palace, so they were naturally happy to see it happen.

And though Hongjun seated atop the great hall did not speak, an almost imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

"How will all rankings be affected?"

Yet at that moment, a cold snort suddenly rang out from the Space Crack Shen Ni had opened.

The voice was even more ethereal than the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, as though it had traveled across countless spaces.

Not even Dao Ancestor Hongjun could discern the cultivation realm of the voice's owner.

[From this day onward, all ranking rewards for Beast Emperor Shen Ni shall be distributed as normal!]

The Supreme Hongmeng Ranking trembled slightly, and the power it had just unleashed rapidly withdrew.

The punishment it had resolved to impose seemed as though it had never existed at all.

"This?"

"What's going on?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be a punishment?"

"What kind of punishment is this?"

"All rewards will be distributed as normal—is that a punishment?"

"What happened?"

"..."

At that moment, the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Experts were all stunned.

Especially those Living Beings who had just applauded and waited to enjoy the show—they now wore faces full of disbelief.

It had clearly said a punishment would be imposed. How had all rewards become normal after just one sentence?

Could it be because of that voice?

Or had the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking simply backed down?

Within Zixiao Palace, the Six Saints of Hong Huang looked at one another.

"The one who spoke just now was likely Dao Lord Taichu, wasn't it?"

"He can actually threaten a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure?"

"Could his strength truly surpass Master's?"

"..."
