Tremor Demon Ancestor's soul defense was indeed formidable.
But faced with a Soul Attack that could reach the high ninth order when unleashed at full power,
even with the soul defense granted by his Supreme Armor, he struggled to resist.
He even had to devote most of his consciousness to fighting the Zerg Queen's illusions.
As a result,
Tremor Demon Ancestor could not coordinate with the Universe Masters under his command.
And so,
as soon as the two sides clashed, the battle was almost completely one-sided.
The Monster Race was being beaten back the entire time.
The Insect Race already had the advantage in numbers, and with the Queen's Soul Attack support,
the Universe Masters of the Monster Race could only just barely hold out by joining forces.
Tremor Demon Ancestor was suppressed the entire time and could not offer the slightest help.
"Hahaha, so this is all the Monster Race has to offer."
Within the Insect Race's ranks,
a Universe Master who had defected to the Insect Race, with a body covered in tentacles and shaped like an octopus, laughed mockingly. His expression was arrogant, his voice full of glee.
He had once been mercilessly bullied by the Monster Race. Now, at last, he could get his revenge.
"Haha, exactly! Weren't you Monster Race members so arrogant before? Why are you running around like drowned rats now? Don't feel like fighting back?"
"Who knew the Monster Race had a side like this? Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
For a time,
the battlefield rang with taunts.
"Hmph, those bastards! We've spoiled them rotten!" Lord of Annihilation, whose strength was at the Fifth Order Peak, snarled furiously.
"I'd love to beat their brains out, then enslave their entire race for billions of years!" Sky Wolf Master added bitterly.
"A bunch of scum!" Pivot Insect Master, the weakest among them, cursed loudly as well.
As members of the noble Monster Race, when had they ever suffered such humiliation?
"Enough talk. Join forces and focus on holding them off!"
Tremor Demon Ancestor, his body covered in a saw-toothed shell, was furious too, but this was no time to vent his anger.
If anything went wrong, many of them would be left behind here.
The Zerg Queen possessed a Palace Supreme Treasure of the strongest level!
Her ability to suppress and seal was far superior to Beast Ancestor's.
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Lord of Annihilation and the others immediately fell silent. They unleashed their full power and once again combined their attacks to resist the enemy's unending assault.
"Yoooo!!!"
Suddenly,
the Zerg Queen let out a piercing shriek.
An invisible sound wave swept across the Monster Race's forces, a thousand kilometers away.
The instant it struck Tremor Demon Ancestor, his enormous body froze for a moment.
Most of the Universe Masters in the Monster Race's ranks clutched their heads in agony and wailed.
Only a few, including Miejin and Blood Trench, whose wills had reached the level of the strongest in the universe and whose personal strength had reached the fifth order, managed to stay conscious by resisting together.
"Whoosh~"
But
the very next moment,
the Zerg Queen crossed a thousand kilometers and appeared directly above the Monster Race's forces.
"Come."
The Queen spoke softly, her figure graceful, her beauty peerless, and her body clad in translucent gauze.
Her voice was as lovely as music from heaven.
But to the Monster Race, it sounded like a demon's whisper.
"No!!!"
Tremor Demon Ancestor had broken free of the illusion. He enlarged his body without a second thought, trying to draw all the Monster Race's Universe Masters into his Palace Supreme Treasure.
But
he was a moment too late.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Like a vacuum sucking up trash,
the Universe Masters at the edges of the Monster Race's formation, still unconscious, were sucked straight into the Queen Palace!
"Aaaah!"
Seeing the foundations of his race and a large number of its allied Universe Masters suppressed and sealed,
Tremor Demon Ancestor went completely berserk.
Divine power surged across his body, transforming into countless strange beasts that charged again and again, while he controlled the Domain Shattering Awl, fused with his tail, to launch a frenzied assault on the Zerg Queen.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Although Tremor Demon Ancestor's attacks were suppressed by the Primal Universe to the peak of the sixth order, their frenzied energy still affected the Zerg Queen as she desperately captured the Universe Masters in the Monster Race's ranks.
"Boom!"
At last,
under Tremor Demon Ancestor's desperate attack, the Zerg Queen was driven back.
At the same time, Tremor Demon Ancestor swept every Universe Master in the Monster Race's ranks who still had the strength to resist into his Palace Supreme Treasure.
"Queen, don't you think you've gone too far this time?"
In the empty void,
Tremor Demon Ancestor returned to his normal size and asked coldly.
Just now,
the Zerg Queen had captured ten Universe Masters in a single instant!
Three were Universe Masters of the Monster Race itself, and seven were allies who had joined them.
Ten in all!
The Monster Race had only brought thirty-five Universe Masters to this battle!
They had lost nearly a third of their forces in one fell swoop.
Not long ago, Beast Ancestor had only captured three.
Most importantly,
they had lost three Universe Masters from their own race!
One was even a highly gifted prodigy, with a slim chance of becoming one of the strongest in the future.
At the thought of it,
Tremor Demon Ancestor felt so heartbroken he could hardly breathe.
"Hehehe~"
The Zerg Queen's bell-like laughter rang out. "Zhen Jiao, don't tell me you naively believe your Monster Race is still what it used to be."
Tremor Demon Ancestor's body shuddered at her words.
Though he did not want to admit it, after the Sky Screen rewards,
his and Dream Demon Ancestor's strength had been laid bare.
On top of that, both of their Supreme Treasures were armor-type and attack-type treasures.
They had two Supreme Treasures, one for offense and one for defense.
But the problem was,
the rewards everyone else had received were even better!
In the end,
the gap in strength between them had only grown wider.
And with the changes in the Primal Universe's balance of power, all the minor alliances and scattered forces had joined the powerful figures on the rankings.
But because of the Monster Race's poor reputation, and because Tremor Demon Ancestor and Dream Demon Ancestor were at the bottom of the rankings,
the Monster Race had received the fewest allies among the Four Peak Races!
Had their own race not had enough Universe Masters, they would not even have been able to resist the Demon Beast Alliance and the Insect Race's forces at the same time.
But even though they could just barely hold out,
after this battle,
the strength of the Monster Race's forces would be greatly diminished.
"Zhen Jiao, if you know what's good for you, cede a third of your territory to me, and I promise not to attack again!"
Seeing Tremor Demon Ancestor fall silent, the Zerg Queen laughed softly once more.
Yet the voice that had once been so melodious and gentle sounded to Tremor Demon Ancestor more piercing than the icy winds in the dangerous parts of Tilted Peak Realm.
"A third?"
Tremor Demon Ancestor snapped his head up. "You must be insane! That's as good as asking for my life!"
"Hehe, if you refuse, I'll keep attacking. Let's see how long you can hold out." The Zerg Queen's brows drew together, her pretty face full of frost.
"Don't forget, your Monster Race is a prize everyone wants now. It's not just me and Beast Ancestor. Giant Axe of the human race and that fellow from the Machine Race are also looking to tear off a piece."
"Even so, ceding a third of our territory is out of the question!"
Tremor Demon Ancestor replied coldly.
If they ceded a third of their territory to the Insect Race today,
how much would they have to cede tomorrow when the humans came knocking?
The Hong Alliance of humanity was now faintly the strongest force in the Primal Universe!
"Hehe, a third is too much?" the Queen said with a smile. "It's not as if we can't negotiate."
