Reward: Supreme Treasure 'Black Scale Armor', Overconfident Monster Race!

Under the gaze of countless living beings across the Primal Universe.

The massive leaderboard spanning the starry sky began to reveal the visage of the Tremor Demon Ancestor.

A gargantuan beast with a serrated shell appeared in the void.

Its immense size and formidable aura were enough to make even beings of strong will tremble from the depths of their souls, despite the infinite distance of space between them.

"What a ferocious Monster Race ancestor!" Luo Feng watched the form of the Tremor Demon Ancestor. Though he managed to keep his mind steady, he still felt a jolt of shock at the aura it radiated. "I wonder if our human powerhouses have anyone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with it."

Luo Feng was currently only a member of the Primordial Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company, and his teacher, Zhen Yan King, was merely an invincible King-level, capable of rivaling only the most ordinary Universe Knights.

While such strength was respectable, in the context of peak races, it was at most mid-tier combat power, far from the top echelon.

Therefore, at this stage, neither Zhen Yan King nor Luo Feng had much insight into the combat power of the human upper echelons.

"What will the reward for ninth place be?"

Within the Ancestral God Secret Realm.

The three Ancestral Gods watched with equal anxiety as the text slowly emerged on the leaderboard.

Finally.

The image of the Tremor Demon Ancestor on the board dissipated.

In its place appeared the combat footage of the Tremor Demon Ancestor.

The background of the scene remained a battlefield permeated by chaotic air currents.

The massive, serrated-shell beast was locked in a fierce battle with a powerhouse from the Second Reincarnation Era.

The Tremor Demon Ancestor's terrifying size, combined with its formidable secret techniques, allowed it to manipulate its famous supreme treasure, the 'Domain Shattering Awl'. By fusing the awl with the spikes on its tail, every lash and strike sent its opponent reeling, with the shockwaves of the battle tearing open spatial rifts spanning hundreds of millions of miles.

The scale of the battle was clearly greater than the disturbance caused by the Dream Demon Ancestor earlier.

Once the Tremor Demon Ancestor emerged victorious, the image vanished.

[TOP 9: Tremor Demon Ancestor, one of the two great ancestors of the Monster Race, gene level 10,081 times. Created secret technique level: Tier 8 Ordinary. Even without coordinating with the supreme attack treasure 'Domain Shattering Awl', it can erupt with Tier 8 Ordinary combat power.]

[Ranking concluded. Its combat power is worthy of ninth place.]

[Reward: Supreme armor treasure 'Black Scale Armor'.]

'BOOM!!!'

The moment the reward appeared.

The Primal Universe erupted!

"That idiot has such good luck!" the Beast Ancestor was so angry he could practically vomit blood.

The Tremor Demon Ancestor already possessed a supreme attack treasure; now, equipped with the 'Black Scale Armor', it was like a tiger gaining wings.

If he, the Beast Ancestor, didn't receive a better reward later, he might truly have to turn and run the moment he encountered the Tremor Demon Ancestor and the Dream Demon Ancestor in the future!

"Sigh!!!"

The Beast Ancestor wished with all his might that these rewards were his.

"Trouble, the Tremor Demon Ancestor has also obtained a supreme armor treasure," Founder Giant Axe sighed. "It seems I will have to steer clear of the two of them when venturing through the Universe Ocean."

Although Giant Axe's realm was impressive, his treasures were lacking, preventing him from fully unleashing his combat potential.

"It seems our alliance must become even tighter," the Crystal Race Holy Lord and the Prison Race Devil Ancestor exchanged glances, immediately adjusting their cooperation strategies.

"Hahaha, what does being ninth matter!" The Tremor Demon Ancestor looked at the armor drifting slowly from the void, radiating a mysterious, eerie light, and burst into hearty laughter.

In truth, he had been worried about receiving another supreme attack treasure.

If he had been that unlucky, while he could have accepted it, it undoubtedly would have provided little boost to his own strength.

It wouldn't have increased the Dream Demon Ancestor's strength either; at most, it would have allowed some top-tier Tier 5 Universe Master within the Monster Race to bind it and unleash top-tier Tier 6 strength.

But fortunately, the Sky Screen rewarded him with the 'Black Scale Armor'!

It could perfectly compensate for his shortcomings!

Not only would it greatly increase his survivability, but whether exploring dangerous areas in the Universe Ocean or fighting other powerhouses in the future, he, Zhen Jiao, would have nothing to fear!

"Not bad, not bad. With this Black Scale Armor, your survivability, Zhen Jiao, will be greatly enhanced!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor also revealed a smile at this moment.

"Mm..." After receiving the Black Scale Armor, the Tremor Demon Ancestor immediately set about refining it.

As he refined it, the smile on his face grew even wider!

"As expected of the armor rewarded by the mysterious Sky Screen; its strongest form can actually weaken material attacks to 'one-hundred-thousandth'! It can also weaken soul attacks to one-tenth! And the weakening cap is Tier 9!"

As the information inherent to the Black Scale Armor flooded his mind, the Tremor Demon Ancestor became even more delighted and immediately shared the news with the Dream Demon Ancestor.

"Hahaha, good!" The Dream Demon Ancestor was overjoyed. Judging by the description, this Black Scale Armor was even a notch better than her Dream Scale Armor!

Combined with the Tremor Demon Ancestor's strength, they could truly roam the Universe Ocean at will!

One must realize that with the Original Ancestor currently suppressed, there is not a single powerhouse among the Three Reincarnation Eras in the vast Universe Ocean who can threaten his life!

The Tremor Demon Ancestor was already adept at defense, and with the Black Scale Armor, his defenses have become even more formidable.

He is practically an unkillable cockroach!

"With the Gold-Shattering Spear and the Black Scale Armor, it is time for our race's territory to expand."

The Dream Demon Ancestor looked toward the front of the great hall.

With a flick of the Dream Demon Ancestor's serpentine tail, a map of the Primal Universe's territories was projected into the air above the hall.

At this moment.

All the powerhouses of the Monster Race within the hall turned their gazes toward the map.

When the Tremor Demon Ancestor obtained the Black Scale Armor, they all knew that war was coming!

Yet they felt no fear; instead, their blood boiled with excitement!

The Monster Race is inherently cruel and bloodthirsty, revering slaughter and combat.

Now that the timing is ripe and with two tyrannical ancestors presiding, it would be strange if they did not launch a war.

"Humans, the Insect Race, and the Machine Race—these three races each have only one supreme master of the universe, and their number of universe masters is inferior to ours, yet they occupy such prime territory. It is a complete waste of resources!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor stared at the map in the air, flicking his scarlet tongue. "Now, we shall take back the territory that belongs to us!"

Within the Monster Race.

The law of the jungle prevails, and the strong are respected.

This is even more true when dealing with outsiders.

In the eyes of the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor, their strength has greatly increased, so naturally, they require territory that matches their status.

If they don't have it.

Then they shall seize it!

"The Ancestor speaks the truth!"

The Lord of Annihilation, the Lord of Blood Chisel, the Sky Wolf Master, and other Monster Race powerhouses loudly echoed their agreement.

"Meng Cha, expanding our territory is imperative. You can have the Lord of Annihilation and the others begin preparations. It would be best if we first identify who the previous eight individuals were and what treasures they obtained." The Tremor Demon Ancestor was indeed an outlier among the Monster Race, being the most composed and sinister.

"Very well. Lord of Annihilation, Lord of Blood Chisel, you two shall immediately begin drafting the expansion plan!"

"Yes, Ancestor!"

"To think the reward is the Black Scale Armor; it can be considered a top-tier piece among True God-level armors. The items rewarded by the Sky Screen are truly impressive."

Yang Yu, standing atop the mountain, watched the Black Scale Armor flash and vanish in the void, immediately discerning its origins.

As an incredibly experienced God King of the treasure-refining path, Yang Yu could see through such weapons and armors at a glance without even needing to touch them.

"The Monster Race has always been ambitious. Having suddenly obtained two top-tier supreme treasures, it seems the Primal Universe is about to get lively."

Thinking of the Monster Race's modus operandi, Yang Yu immediately sensed that the landscape of the Primal Universe might be on the verge of a massive upheaval.
