The two treasures manifesting in the sky were none other than Old Ancestor Minghe's Yuantu Abi Twin Swords.

Soon, the Great Dao Script also appeared in the air.

["Magic Treasure Ranking, Fortieth Place: Yuantu Abi Twin Swords. Yuantu: Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, supreme killing treasure, kills without incurring karmic sin. It is the physical embodiment of the Way of Slaughter between heaven and earth. The joint wielder of Yuantu and Abi is the Lord of the Way of Slaughter. Its function leans toward massacre. It is one of the most renowned sword vessels in heaven and earth. Master: Minghe."]

After the Great Dao Script appeared in the sky, many people gasped in astonishment.

Yet many others were baffled.

Why had the Yuantu Abi Twin Swords appeared so early?

These two swords had long been famous throughout the Primordial Chaos World.

They were twin swords of the Way of Slaughter.

Perfectly suited to Minghe's own Way of Slaughter.

Old Ancestor Minghe's self-proclaimed method of attaining sainthood was: Slay Heaven, Slay Earth, Slay All Living Beings.

Thus, these two swords, ever by Minghe's side, had slaughtered countless beings of the Primordial Chaos World.

They were already stained with endless blood.

Yet what was even more bizarre was that these two divine swords killed without incurring karmic sin!

That was an abnormality beyond imagination.

And such a pair of swords was ranked only fortieth?

Was this real?

Many began to doubt the Magic Treasure Ranking.

Setting aside the Primordial beings for now.

Even Old Ancestor Minghe himself was somewhat taken aback.

"Only ranked fortieth?"

That blood-drenched figure muttered to himself.

In his estimation, these two divine swords should have ranked somewhere in the top ten...

If one truly spoke of killing power.

These two divine swords of his absolutely deserved that name.

Yet now they were only placed at fortieth...

That was rather infuriating.

Old Ancestor Minghe opened his murky eyes and stared fixedly at the sky above.

At this moment, he understood exactly how Daoist Randeng felt.

No wonder Randeng had roared in defiance.

Randeng's Universe Ruler was indeed quite remarkable.

Logically, it should have ranked somewhere around twentieth or thirtieth on the Primordial Ranking.

Yet it ended up at fifty-first.

His own twin swords should have ranked around tenth, or at most in the teens...

But in the end, they were placed at fortieth...

It wasn't that their treasures were weak.

Rather, the entire ranking had been shifted backward by about twenty places.

Now, there was bound to be a good show.

The Primordial beings buzzed with discussion.

Everyone had begun to doubt the Magic Treasure Ranking.

If even killing treasures like Yuantu and Abi ranked so low, what kind of treasures would rank high?

All grew even more expectant of the treasures to come.

Every single person stared upward, their attention fully focused.

Before long, the boundless golden aura began to seethe once more.

Was a treasure finally about to appear?

Many stared intently at the sky.

The golden aura churned for a long time before finally manifesting a treasure.

It was something resembling a whip, yet also like a willow branch.

Then the Great Dao Script appeared.

["Magic Treasure Ranking, Thirty-ninth Place: Human Creation Whip. Classified as a Postcelestial Merit Supreme Treasure! Though its grade is not high, it possesses the supreme merit of creating humanity. It is a merit supreme treasure, wielding unfathomable power over ghosts and gods, capable of striking all living beings. Master: Nuwa."]

After this magic treasure appeared, the entire Primordial Chaos World erupted in uproar once again.

Another saint's magic treasure.

Even Empress Nuwa's merit treasure from creating humanity was only ranked thirty-ninth?

What was going on here?

Why was its ranking so low?

By this moment, many people understood.

It wasn't that these treasures were weak.

Rather, their rankings had all been uniformly pushed back by about twenty places...

This was utterly baffling.

Even a treasure like the Human Creation Whip ranked so low.

Now, at this moment, many gazes turned solemn.

They stared intently at the sky, at the vast and boundless Primordial Violet Gold List.

They wanted to see clearly what treasures were ranked ahead.

Many people were especially tense.

Thus, time seemed to pass quickly.

Before long, another treasure manifested in the air.

This treasure was a scroll.

As the scroll slowly unfurled in the sky, the painting within revealed an extremely mysterious and eerie Eight Trigrams Qiankun Diagram.

As soon as this treasure appeared, the entire Primordial Chaos World erupted in uproar once again.

Another saint's magic treasure.

Wasn't this Taishang Laozi's Qiankun Diagram?

Starting from the Yuantu Abi Twin Swords, every one of these treasures possessed boundless power and should have been ranked in the top ten!

Why were they all appearing now in the thirties?

Just then, the Great Dao Script in the sky appeared:

["Magic Treasure Ranking, Thirty-seventh: Qiankun Diagram. Rank: Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Within the diagram lie the Eight Trigrams of Qiankun, the heavens and earth of Qiankun, Qiankun as heaven and earth. Qian is heaven, Kun is earth. Qian knows through ease, Kun acts through simplicity. With this diagram in hand, one holds Qiankun. Master: Taishang."]

Many people gasped sharply.

What the hell was this?

The entire Primordial Chaos World was now in chaos.

All kinds of disorderly voices arose.

Everyone found it unbelievable.

Aside from these great powers, even the saints themselves found it somewhat unbelievable.

Each wore an ugly expression.

Taishang Laozi's Qiankun Diagram should, by all reason, have been ranked at least in the teens, yet now it was only thirty-eighth?

This was simply unimaginable.

"Everyone, do not be disturbed. Let us calmly watch how the rankings unfold."

This time, the one who spoke was Saint Tongtian, who had been silent all along.
