The billions of Living Beings of Hong Huang, the Myriad Races Experts, the many Saints, and even Dao Ancestor Hongjun were all utterly shocked at this moment.

The might of the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, stretching across the heavens, suppressed the entirety of Hong Huang. Let alone the Six Sages, even Hongjun had been unable to suppress its power when he acted, and had instead been punished by it.

And now, because of a cold snort, it had actually changed the outcome of that punishment.

If that was not cowardice, then what was?

The question was, why would the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, which could bestow terrifying rewards and even hand out Hongmeng Embryos, act in such a manner?

At this moment, the terrifying Supreme Hongmeng Ranking spanning the skies of Hong Huang trembled slightly, causing the hearts and minds of the billions of Living Beings in Hong Huang to tremble along with it.

[The treasure ranked first on the Treasure Ranking will now be announced. Please pay attention!]

"The time has come—the treasure ranked first is finally about to appear!"

"It's here, it's here! The top-ranked treasure is here!"

"What kind of treasure will it be?"

"Great Dao Origin was handed out as a reward. Could it be an actual Great Dao this time?"

"Judging by this display, it must be a treasure beyond anything We can imagine!"

"Update already!"

"..."

At this moment, the billions of Living Beings in Hong Huang were all filled with anticipation. Quite a few Living Beings first found safe places to stop, then raised their heads toward the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, afraid that their shock would land them in danger.

Meanwhile, Hongjun and the Six Saints of Hong Huang within Zixiao Palace all held their breath, focused their minds, and steadied their Dao hearts.

[Hong Huang Treasure Ranking, First Place: Hongmeng Tribulation Bead!] [Hongmeng Supreme Treasure!] [Holder: Dao Lord Taichu!] [This treasure is the Hongmeng Destruction Tribulation, the Hongmeng Tribulation Origin. Whoever possesses this treasure controls all Power of Calamity. The Heavenly Dao may be destroyed, the Great Dao may be destroyed, Hongmeng may be destroyed!]

"Th-this is the treasure ranked first?"

"The Heavenly Dao may be destroyed?"

"The Great Dao may be destroyed?"

"Hongmeng may be destroyed?"

"It is actually this terrifying?"

"..."

Even though the billions of Living Beings in Hong Huang and the Myriad Races Experts had already prepared themselves mentally, they still let out wave after wave of shocked cries.

This was a treasure that controlled the Hongmeng Tribulation—no, this was the Hongmeng Tribulation itself.

It was precisely this power that had shattered Hong Huang, evolved Chaos, and caused the Great Dao to divide.

Demon God Palace!

Di Jun and Taiyi's bodies could not help but tremble.

"The Three Races were annihilated back then due to the influence of the Power of Calamity. Could it be that Dao Lord Taichu was controlling it from behind the scenes?"

"Th-this is too unbelievable, isn't it?"

Witch Clan Ancestral Land. The Twelve Ancestral Witches all abruptly rose to their feet and looked toward the treasure ranked first upon the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking.

"When Father God opened Heaven and Earth, he suffered the Creation Tribulation. Could Dao Lord Taichu have been behind it?"

"Big Brother, that can't be possible, can it?"

"How could anyone control the Power of Calamity? It is power enough to throw the Heavenly Dao into chaos!"

"Exactly. Didn't you see the treasure's power described above? Even the Great Dao can be destroyed, so what is the Heavenly Dao?"

"Th-this... could it really have been Dao Lord Taichu who plotted against Father God?"

"..."

The voices of the Twelve Ancestral Witches rose one after another as they all thought of Pangu's fall. These memories originating from their bloodline were clearer to them than to any outsider.

Thus, even the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who feared neither heaven nor earth, felt threads of fear rise in their hearts when they saw the treasure ranked first.

The description of this treasure was simply too terrifying.

With a sufficient price, they might perhaps be able to guide a calamity.

With careful planning, Saints might perhaps be able to offset a calamity.

But to control a calamity—even the Heavenly Dao could not accomplish that.

Not to mention that this included calamities they had never even known of.

Within Zixiao Palace!

Traces of terror appeared on the faces of the Six Sages.

They were no better off than the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race or the Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan.

"Master!"

"Is there really a treasure capable of becoming the source of a Tribulation?"

"Can someone truly control all Tribulations, even Hongmeng Tribulations?"

"..."

After a long while, Laozi was the first to look toward Hongjun, his face filled with doubt.

They vaguely suspected that this final treasure simply did not exist.

Ordinary Tribulations could perhaps be triggered by Living Beings of Hong Huang such as Demon Emperors and Ancestral Witches, though an enormous price would have to be paid to offset them.

For an Immeasurable Tribulation, the Heavenly Dao would rise and perish; all beneath Saints would be annihilated, and even Saints would find it difficult to withstand.

For a Chaos Tribulation, Chaos would be born and destroyed, and all things would return to the Hongmeng era.

For a Hongmeng Tribulation, Hongmeng would be born and destroyed, and an era of Hongmeng would undergo reincarnation and evolve anew.

If this treasure truly was the root source of a Hongmeng Tribulation, then destroying Primordial World, destroying them Saints, and destroying the Heavenly Dao—would that not be as easy as turning one's hand over?

This could no longer be called a heaven-defying treasure. It should have been a treasure that could not possibly exist.

"The Heavenly Dao is profound and mysterious. Even I, your Master, cannot transcend it; the Great Dao is boundless, beyond control!"

"Even I do not know whether such a terrifying treasure truly exists!"

Faced with the questions of the Six Saints of Hong Huang, Hongjun could only shake his head slightly.

At present, he had merely merged with the Dao. He had yet to fully grasp even the Heavenly Dao—or rather, he had become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao. How could he know whether treasures beyond Chaos, reaching the Hongmeng level, existed?

"It cannot exist! If it truly existed, would We not become mere ants?"

"Then what would be the use of Us attaining Sainthood?"

"..."

Yuanshi's expression twisted without cease.

Tongtian, Zhunti, and Nuwa beside him were much the same, as though their Dao Hearts had been damaged.

Even Laozi and Jieyin's bodies trembled slightly. From the bottom of their hearts, they refused to believe that such a treasure existed.

[The ranking updates for the top thirty treasures on the Hong Huang Treasure Ranking have concluded. Rewards will be distributed in thirty days!] [All rankings are based on the innate origin characteristics of the spirit treasures themselves. Should anyone find a ranking unacceptable, it is related to their own refinement of the spirit treasure's Restrictions!] [When rewards are distributed, the final holder of the treasure shall be recognized!]

Just as these Saints, the Dao Ancestor, and the Myriad Races of Hong Huang Experts stood stunned, that ethereal voice rang out beside their ears.

This finally jolted them awake from the shock brought by the treasure ranked first.

"The treasure rewards are about to be distributed?"

"This Emperor should receive a vat of Demon Crow Essence Blood, hahaha! And all the Restrictions of this Chaos Bell shall be unlocked. Let's see how the Witch Race will contend against My Demon Race from now on!"

"This Emperor's River Diagram and Luo Script should receive some rewards as well. From now on, the Demon Race shall thoroughly dominate Hong Huang!"

"This Venerable is about to obtain Sword Dao Origin, hahaha! These Immortal Slaying Four Swords should also advance into supreme treasures!"

"This Seat can receive rewards too. Good, very good. It seems This Seat should take this chance to seize a few more treasures!"

"There are still thirty days left. Brothers, shall We charge into Demon God Palace and seize that Chaos Bell?"

"This Emperor shall order the Demon Race to hand over the treasures!"

"..."

At the news that the ranking rewards for the treasures were about to be distributed, some rejoiced while others worried.

However, the remaining thirty days in which treasures could still be contested caused many experts who had received no rewards to harbor schemes.

If they seized some powerful treasures during these thirty days, then the final rewards would belong to them.

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author—it may have simply been renamed!
