"What a surprise. So this is what the mysterious and powerful Dream Demon Ancestor looks like."
Within Human Territory.
Luo Feng, traveling aboard a ship, gazed at the image of the Dream Demon Ancestor appearing in the starry sky and sighed. "She's a little ugly, but ranking tenth means she's plenty terrifying."
"What? The Dream Demon Ancestor, who could defeat me with ease, is only ranked tenth?"
The moment the ranking appeared, the Crystal Race Holy Lord's heart sank to the bottom.
"If even she is only ranked tenth, then I have even less hope." The Crystal Race Holy Lord felt utterly dejected.
The Prison Race Devil Ancestor nearby was just as dejected...
Both of them had once been defeated by the Dream Demon Ancestor.
If she could only rank tenth, then he had no hope either.
"Let's see what the rewards are. If they're ordinary, then there's still hope of catching up. But if they're generous, then..."
The Crystal Race Holy Lord and the Prison Race Devil Ancestor were both on edge.
So were countless other races and powerful beings throughout the universe.
The current Reincarnation Era of the Primal Universe had lasted for tens of trillions of epochs.
Over that long span of time,
more than ten Universe Masters had emerged.
The Dream Demon Ancestor wasn't particularly powerful among them, but she wasn't weak, either.
With a ranking like this,
the strength of the most powerful beings in the Third Reincarnation Era of the Primal Universe was now clear.
"Dream Demon may be only average, but she's still far beyond those two weaklings from the Crystal Race and the Prison Race. Judging by this, I should be strong enough to make the top ten."
Shrouded in a mass of shadow, True Void Demon God silently watched the list from the void and thought to himself.
He was the strongest illusionist of the current Reincarnation Era. His Soul Attack was powerful enough to tear through a high-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure and instantly kill a Universe Master with mediocre soul defenses.
Though he still couldn't threaten opponents of his own level, he could gain the upper hand in battle.
The Dream Demon Ancestor had once been defeated by him!
However, the Dream Demon Ancestor and Tremor Demon Ancestor of the Monster Race were almost always together. So although True Void Demon God could defeat the Dream Demon Ancestor, he had no way to kill her.
"Let's see what this mysterious Sky Screen will give as a reward. If it's truly useful, I might be able to carry out my plans in the Tilted Peak Realm ahead of schedule."
True Void Demon God, hidden in the shadows, was also eagerly anticipating the Sky Screen's reward.
In the Ancestral God Sect, within the Ancestral God Secret Realm,
the Three Ancestral Gods were communicating with the Universe Origin Will.
After a long while,
the three Ancestral Gods opened their eyes almost simultaneously.
"Alas, we have no idea what this Sky Screen is. The Origin Will has no information about it at all, and can't affect it in the slightest,"
the Aged Ancestral God sighed. "Besides, our true combat strength is only that of a Fifth-Order Universe Master. Without the Origin Will and our Supreme Treasure sets, we certainly wouldn't make the top ten."
The Youthful Ancestral God looked worried as well. "I hope the Sky Screen's rewards won't upset the balance among the strongest beings. If that balance is no longer maintained, perhaps the Primal Universe is about to descend into chaos."
The Two-Faced Ancestral God seemed the calmest, but his eyes also betrayed his anxiety. "Even the Origin Will can't perceive the Sky Screen at all. That means its level is unimaginably high. From its description, the higher the ranking, the more generous the reward. So the rewards can't be ordinary."
"Could it be a treasure from the Ancient Civilization?"
the Aged Ancestral God suddenly asked.
As soon as he said this, the Origin Will's fluctuations around the three of them suddenly intensified.
The Origin Will of the Original Universe was afraid!
It had little intelligence and only followed its instincts to keep the Primal Universe running.
But after existing for so many years, it had developed a faint sense of self.
Having once experienced the Original Ancestor's attempt to seize its body, it valued its own "safety" especially highly.
It paid close attention to any unexpected event that might threaten its existence.
Yang Yu had felt this keenly. Whenever he tried to reveal a little more of his strength, he would sense an unseen eye watching him.
It irritated Yang Yu greatly. He knew the Will of the Original Universe was constantly wary of him.
But Yang Yu had absorbed Mountain Sitting Guest's memories and had read the original novel.
Naturally, he wasn't foolish enough to provoke it.
"If treasures from the Ancient Civilization really do appear, even our Ancestral God Sect's position may no longer be secure." The Two-Faced Ancestral God sighed. "For now, all we can do is take things one step at a time. Let's see which ten powerful beings the Sky Screen ranks, and what treasures it rewards them with."
"That's all we can do."
The reactions of the various sides might sound like they took a long time, but the consciousness of a Universe Master operated extremely quickly.
Almost as soon as the three Ancestral Gods finished communicating with the Universe Origin Will,
the list in the starry sky began updating again.
[Dream Demon Ancestor, one of the Monster Race's two great Progenitors. Gene Multiplier: 10,081. Her created secret technique is Peak Seventh Order. Even without using the Ultimate Treasure Dream Scale Armor, the Peak Domain Supreme Treasure Dream Ancestor Domain, or the Peak Attack Supreme Treasure Demon Isle Vine, she can unleash Peak Seventh-Order strength. She deserves to rank tenth on the list of powerful beings in the Third Reincarnation Era of the Primal Universe.]
Next,
the list displayed the Dream Demon Ancestor's enormous silver serpent form.
Within a domain of white mist, the giant serpent, covered in dreamlike scales, controlled a Peak Attack Supreme Treasure as she fought an unknown powerful being amid the chaotic currents. Every movement sent shock waves stretching millions of miles.
With a flash, she could appear a hundred million miles away.
As weapons and treasures collided, the world itself changed color.
The battle was terrifying in its intensity.
Before long, the mysterious opponent fled, badly wounded.
Afterward,
the Sky Screen showed several more scenes of the Dream Demon Ancestor in battle.
Every one of them revealed her formidable personal strength.
They also showed countless people just how powerful the Monster Race was.
Watching these scenes,
countless beings in the Primal Universe were stunned by the strength of the Universe Masters.
They also learned that they were living in the "Third Reincarnation Era," and saw what Ultimate Treasures and Peak Treasures were.
There was no doubt that the Sky Screen's appearance had a tremendous impact on the Primal Universe.
"This is footage of Dream Demon fighting Mo Hen, a Universe Master from the First Reincarnation Era of the Primal Universe,"
the Beast Ancestor thought. "She may be a bit stupid, but she's strong enough."
The Beast Ancestor had dealt with Mo Hen before. He was one of the most ordinary Universe Masters.
He had no Ultimate Treasure, an ordinary race, and no powerful secret techniques.
His combat strength was only at the ordinary Seventh Order.
The Beast Ancestor could defeat him with ease.
While everyone was discussing the matter, the Dream Demon Ancestor's battle scenes vanished from the Sky Screen, and more text appeared.
[Such strength merits a place among the top ten powerful beings in the Primal Universe.] [Reward: Attack Ultimate Treasure, the Gold-Shattering Spear!]
Whoosh~
Without a sound,
a golden spear radiating an astonishing aura appeared before the Dream Demon Ancestor.
"Hm? They're actually rewarding me with an Ultimate Treasure!"
The Dream Demon Ancestor was a little stunned, but that didn't stop her from immediately taking the Gold-Shattering Spear and binding it to herself!
