The soul defense of the Tremor Demon Ancestor was indeed formidable.
But in the face of a soul attack that could reach the high-tier of the ninth level when unleashed at full power.
Even relying on the soul defense attached to his Supreme True Treasure armor, he found it exceptionally strenuous to resist.
He even needed to dedicate the majority of his consciousness to countering the illusions of the Zerg Queen.
As a result.
The Tremor Demon Ancestor was completely unable to coordinate with the Universe Masters under his command.
Thus.
The moment both sides clashed on the battlefield, the situation became almost entirely one-sided.
The Demon Race side was suppressed and beaten throughout the engagement.
The Zerg camp already held a numerical advantage, and with the assistance of the Queen's soul attacks.
The Universe Masters of the Demon Race camp could only barely resist by joining forces.
The Tremor Demon Ancestor was suppressed the entire time, unable to provide even a shred of assistance.
"Hahaha, so this is all the Demon Race amounts to."
Within the Zerg camp.
A Universe Master who had defected to the Zerg, shaped like an octopus covered in tentacles, sneered loudly, his expression arrogant and his tone immensely gratified.
Having been wantonly bullied by the Demon Race in the past, he could finally take his revenge now.
"Haha, exactly! Weren't you of the Demon Race arrogant before? Why are you running around like drowned dogs now? Is it that you don't want to fight back?"
"I never expected the Demon Race to have such a side to them, tsk tsk tsk..."
For a time.
Jeers and taunts erupted across the battlefield.
"Hmph, these curs, they really don't know their place!" the Lord of Annihilation, possessing top-tier fifth-level strength, said furiously.
"I truly want to bash their brains out and enslave their clans for billions of years!" the Sky Wolf Master added, his voice filled with hatred.
"These scumbags!" the weaker Pivot Insect Master also shouted and cursed.
As members of the noble Demon Race, when had they ever suffered such humiliation!
"Stop the nonsense and focus on resisting together!"
The Tremor Demon Ancestor, with his serrated shell, was also furious, but this was not the time to vent his anger.
If something went wrong, quite a few people would end up dying here.
The Zerg Queen possessed a palace-type Supreme True Treasure!
Its ability to suppress and seal was far stronger than that of the Beast Ancestor.
"Yes, Ancestor!"
The Lord of Annihilation and the others dared not speak further, erupting with their full power to once again execute their combined techniques to resist the opponent's relentless attacks.
"Yooo!!!"
Suddenly.
The Zerg Queen let out a sharp shriek.
A sound wave in the form of an invisible ripple swept across the Demon Race camp ten thousand kilometers away.
The moment the Tremor Demon Ancestor was struck by this sound wave, his massive body stiffened for an instant.
As for the Universe Masters in the Demon Race camp, the majority clutched their heads and wailed in agony.
Only a few, such as the Lord of Annihilation and Blood Trench, whose willpower had reached the level of a Universe Supreme Being and whose individual strength had reached the fifth level, were able to remain conscious under their joint resistance.
"Whoosh~"
But.
The very next instant.
The Zerg Queen traversed ten thousand kilometers and appeared directly above the Demon Race camp.
"Gather!"
The Queen, with her slender figure, stunning beauty, and wearing translucent gauze, spoke softly.
The sound was as pleasant as heavenly music.
But to the ears of the Demon Race camp, it was the whisper of a demon.
"No!!!"
The Tremor Demon Ancestor, having just shaken off the influence of the illusion, grew his body to its maximum size, desperate to pull all the Universe Masters of the Demon Race camp into his palace treasure.
But.
He was a split second too late.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
It was like a vacuum cleaner sucking up trash.
Those Universe Masters on the periphery of the Demon Race camp, still in a state of unconsciousness, were instantly swallowed up by the Queen Palace!
"Ahhh!"
Watching the foundation of his race and a large number of vassal Universe Masters being suppressed and sealed, Tremor Demon Ancestor went completely mad.
Divine power surged from his body, transforming into countless strange beasts that charged repeatedly, while he simultaneously controlled the Domain Shattering Awl fused with his tail to launch a frenzied attack on the Zerg Queen.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Even though these attacks from Tremor Demon Ancestor were suppressed to the peak of the sixth tier by the Primal Universe, the violent energy still affected the Zerg Queen, who was frantically harvesting the Universe Masters of the Demon Race camp.
"Boom!"
Finally, under the desperate efforts of Tremor Demon Ancestor, the Zerg Queen was knocked back.
At the same time, the remaining Universe Masters of the Demon Race camp who still had a sliver of resistance left were all gathered into a palace-type treasure by Tremor Demon Ancestor.
"Queen, don't you think you've gone too far this time?"
In the empty void, Tremor Demon Ancestor restored his body to its normal size and asked in a cold voice.
Just a moment ago, the Zerg Queen had actually snatched up ten Universe Masters!
Three of them were Universe Masters of the Demon Race itself, and seven were vassals who had pledged their allegiance.
A full ten!
One had to realize that the Demon Race had only dispatched thirty-five Universe Masters for this entire battle!
In one fell swoop, nearly a third were gone.
Not long ago, the Beast Ancestor had only captured three.
Most importantly, they had lost three Universe Masters from their own race!
One of them was even a genius with great potential, someone who had a glimmer of hope of reaching the level of a supreme being in the future.
Thinking of this, Tremor Demon Ancestor felt a pain so sharp he could barely breathe.
"Hehehe~"
The Zerg Queen's melodious, bell-like laughter drifted over. "Zhen Jiao, you don't naively think you are still the Demon Race of the past, do you?"
Tremor Demon Ancestor's body shuddered at these words.
Although he did not want to admit it, ever since the Sky Screen rewards, his and Dream Demon Ancestor's strength had been laid bare for all to see.
Furthermore, the supreme treasures held by the two of them were both armor-type and attack-type.
Even though they were two supreme treasures—one offensive and one defensive—the problem was that others had received even better rewards!
With the back-and-forth, the gap in strength between them had actually widened!
Coupled with the shifting landscape within the Primal Universe, all the secondary alliances and scattered forces had defected to the powerhouses on the leaderboard.
But because the Demon Race had a poor reputation, and because Tremor Demon Ancestor and Dream Demon Ancestor were at the bottom of the rankings, they were actually the peak race among the four that had received the fewest vassals!
If not for the fact that they had a large number of Universe Masters within their own race, they wouldn't even be able to simultaneously resist the attacks from the Demon Beast Alliance and the Zerg camp.
But even if they could barely hold on, after this battle, the strength of the Demon Race camp had been severely weakened.
"Zhen Jiao, if you know what's good for you, cede one-third of your territory to me, and I guarantee I will stop attacking!"
Seeing Tremor Demon Ancestor fall silent, the Zerg Queen laughed softly once more.
However, the voice that was originally beautiful and melodic sounded even more bone-chilling to Tremor Demon Ancestor than the freezing winds in the dangerous depths of the Qingfeng Realm.
"One-third?"
Tremor Demon Ancestor suddenly raised his head. "You must be insane! How is this any different from demanding my life?"
"Heh, if you refuse, then I shall continue my offensive. Let us see how long you can hold out," the Zerg Queen arched her beautiful brows, her pretty face covered in frost.
"Do not forget, your Demon Race is a hot commodity right now. It is not just Beast Ancestor and I; the human Giant Axe and that fellow from the Machine Race are all looking to tear off a piece of your flesh."
"Even so, one-third of our territory is impossible!"
Tremor Demon Ancestor said coldly.
If he ceded one-third of their territory to the Zerg today.
How much would he have to cede when the humans attacked tomorrow?
One had to know that the current strength of the human Hong Alliance was vaguely ranked first within the Primal Universe!
"Heh, one-third is too much?" the Queen said with a beaming smile, "It is not as if it cannot be negotiated."
