"Has the Holy Kingdom set its sights on one of New Moon Palace's treasures?"
A cold gleam flashed through Mu Qing's eyes.
At its current scale, New Moon Palace was at most comparable to an ordinary high-ranking race.
Under normal circumstances, the Holy Kingdom would never take an interest in a high-ranking race—not even Mu Qing's Demon Domain was worth their notice now.
But if a treasure was involved, Mu Qing had a suspicion.
It was Sheng Ling'er's Supreme artifact!
When they had met last time, Mu Qing had already witnessed Sheng Ling'er's Lunar Mirror. Though strictly speaking, the Lunar Mirror counted as an ultimate Emperor artifact.
Supreme artifacts and Supremes complemented one another.
The bond linking them was the Supreme Dao!
The existence of a Supreme artifact made a Supreme even stronger. A Supreme already possessed absolute power through the augmentation of Dao power, let alone with a Supreme artifact added to the mix.
But the Moon God had already fallen. After Supreme Taiyue died, the Lunar Mirror had fallen from the rank of Supreme artifact and, strictly speaking, could only be considered an ultimate Emperor artifact.
However, the Lunar Mirror had once been a Supreme artifact. Even after falling from that rank, it still possessed might beyond that of an ultimate Emperor artifact.
It was only to be expected that the Holy Kingdom had set its sights on the Lunar Mirror.
If ultimate Emperor artifacts were to be given another grade, it would be pseudo-Supreme artifacts.
Ultimate Emperor artifacts that had fallen from the rank of Supreme artifact, such as Sheng Ling'er's Lunar Mirror and the Slaughter Emperor's Life-Slaying Sword, all possessed might beyond ordinary ultimate Emperor artifacts.
Yet they were still far inferior to true Supreme artifacts.
