After the Magic Treasure Ranking ended, Empress Nuwa had also challenged Saint Zhunti.

Who knew what those two saints were after.

Both were great saintly powers who had lived for countless ages.

Yet their minds were so fragile.

To fight a great battle before all the Primordial beings...

It was almost childish.

Zhen Yuanzi grumbled these words under his breath.

But in truth, he was also curious.

Between Nuwa Sage and Saint Zhunti, who was stronger and who was weaker?

Since ancient times, the title of weakest saint had fallen on these two.

After this exchange.

Who was weak and who was strong—when the time came, the answer would be clear.

Just as the Primordial beings were all harboring their own schemes.

The next treasure had already manifested in the sky.

What appeared was a strangely shaped artifact.

It looked somewhat like a staff.

And somewhat like a spearhead.

It even resembled a blade or a sword.

No one knew what it was.

The Primordial beings all looked at each other in confusion.

But everyone remained silent, waiting for the Great Dao Script.

After all, no one recognized this thing.

Speaking rashly would only invite ridicule.

Before long, the Great Dao Script appeared.

["Fourth on the Magic Treasure Ranking: Earth-Splitting Divine Chisel. Supreme Chaos Supreme Treasure. Born in the same era as the Sky-Opening Divine Axe, these two supreme Chaos Supreme Treasures both possess the Law of Strength, mutually generating and restraining each other. Both have the power to split heaven and earth and cleave through chaos, with unmatched killing force, ranked alongside the Sky-Opening Divine Axe. Master: Changkong."]

As soon as the Great Dao Script appeared.

The countless billions of living beings in the Primordial World felt their minds shaken violently.

They never imagined that this Earth-Splitting Divine Chisel had been born alongside the Sky-Opening Divine Axe?

And even had similar functions?

One could open the sky? The other could split the earth?

The crux of the matter was that the Sky-Opening Divine Axe had long since split into three Innate Supreme Treasures.

Yet this Earth-Splitting Divine Chisel still existed intact.

And its master was still that person named Changkong.

Just what kind of being was this Changkong?

Why could he gain the recognition of so many supreme treasures?

Was he even letting others live?

Many people could no longer hold back and began cursing in their hearts...

Just then, in the sky, the Violet Gold Qi began to seethe once more.

Was the top three of the Magic Treasure Ranking finally about to be announced?

This time, the Violet Gold Qi in the sky grew even more vast.

The third treasure finally manifested.

["Third on the Magic Treasure Ranking: World-Destroying Great Millstone. Supreme Chaos Supreme Treasure. Mortal enemy of the Primordial Creation Green Lotus, possessing the foremost of the Chaos Laws: the Law of Destruction. It can grind down all things in the Primordial World and Chaos. It can crush the Primordial World, Chaos, heaven, earth, and all things back into Hongmeng. Height: thirty-three thousand three hundred thirty-three million kilometers. Width: sixty-six thousand six hundred sixty-six million kilometers. Length: ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine million kilometers. Master: Changkong!"]

"Hiss..."

"What a terrifying thing..."

"World-Destroying... Great Millstone?"

"The mortal enemy of the Primordial Creation Green Lotus? The Law of Destruction?"

"How could such a twisted thing exist?"

"Something that can even grind Chaos to nothing?"

"No wonder this thing is ranked above the Earth-Splitting Divine Chisel, which is on par with the Sky-Opening Divine Axe... It really is stronger than those two supreme treasures..."

"So you're saying that the Primordial Chaos World we live in—they could crush it with a flick of their wrist..."

In that instant, countless Primordial beings were plunged into utter despair.

So in their eyes, we're nothing but crawling insects too.

In that moment, every Primordial being felt their hopes turn to ash.

Just then, the one named Xiao Erbi spoke up again.

"Why are you all worrying about this? It's like eating pickles when you're full—totally unnecessary. Whether this thing even has that kind of power is still up for debate. Even if it does, without strength like Great God Pangu's, you can't even use such a supreme treasure..."

"Look at you all, scared out of your wits... Compared to Senior Randeng... you're way off. That Senior Randeng has gone and pissed off several Saints! Hmph!"

"..."

With Xiao Erbi's words, countless Primordial beings found themselves without a retort.

But it did snap them back to reality.

The existence of a world-destroying treasure is one thing.

Whether it can be used is another.

Besides, no one's going to destroy the world on a whim.

And so, countless Primordial beings truly fell far short of Daoist Randeng.

At that moment, Daoist Randeng's slightly sleazy voice rang out.

"Daoist friend Xiao Erbi... I didn't expect you to hold Randeng in such high regard. Flattering, flattering."

"If This Humble One survives this tribulation, I'll surely seek you out for a few good drinks... a grand drunken binge, to show the true colors of a Hero..."

The one named Xiao Erbi burst into laughter:

"Daoist friend Randeng, you're too kind... Easy, easy... If there's any place where This Humble One can be of use, I'll gladly risk my life to keep you company..."

"..."

For a moment, these two thick-skinned fellows were making friends right in front of all the Primordial beings.

After this exchange, even Saint Primordial

didn't harbor such deep hatred for Daoist Randeng anymore.

With the two of them stirring things up, the fear in the hearts of the Primordial beings eased, and soon the atmosphere grew lively again.

After a long while, the Violet Gold Qi in the sky began to seethe once more.

The Primordial beings tensed up again.

Only two spots remained on the Magic Treasure Ranking.

The second-ranked treasure was finally about to appear.

Everyone's anticipation hit its peak.

What could possibly rank above the World-Destroying Great Millstone?

All eyes lifted to the Heavenly Vault, afraid to miss a single detail.

The Violet Gold Qi gathered in the sky for a moment, but only formed a single mass.

What lay within was impossible to see clearly.

Countless Primordial beings stared wide-eyed at the sky, yet couldn't make out what it was.

The Violet Gold Qi was simply too dense.

Then the Great Dao Script descended.

["Magic Treasure Ranking, Second Place: Primordial. The supreme Primordial Supreme Treasure. The origin of all chaos and the Primordial Chaos World. The progenitor of all laws. The source of all things. The wellspring of all power. Master: Changkong!"]
