The Supreme Treasure Black Scale Armor as a Reward, and the Monster Race's Swelling Confidence!

Under the gaze of countless beings in the Primal Universe.

The enormous ranking list stretching across the starry sky began to reveal Tremor Demon Ancestor's appearance.

A gigantic Serrated Shell Beast appeared in the starry sky.

His massive body and powerful aura made even beings with ordinary willpower tremble from the depths of their hearts, despite the endless expanse of space between them.

"What a ferocious Monster Race ancestor!" Luo Feng studied Tremor Demon Ancestor's appearance. Though he managed to keep his composure, the aura he emanated still made Luo Feng's heart skip a beat. "I wonder if any of humanity's experts can match him."

Luo Feng was currently only a member of the Virtual Universe Company's Primordial Secret Realm, while his teacher, King Zhen Yan, was merely an Invincible King, capable of matching only the most ordinary Venerables.

Their strength was decent, but among the peak races, they could at most be considered middle-tier fighters. They were nowhere near the top.

So at this stage, neither King Zhen Yan nor Luo Feng knew much about the strength of humanity's upper echelons.

"What will the ninth-place reward be?"

Inside the Ancestral God Secret Realm.

The Three Ancestral Gods watched the list as the words slowly appeared, just as anxiously.

At last.

The image of Tremor Demon Ancestor on the list vanished.

In its place appeared footage of Tremor Demon Ancestor in battle.

The background was still a battlefield filled with roiling streams of chaotic airflow.

The enormous Serrated Shell Beast was locked in fierce combat with an expert from the Second Reincarnation Era.

With his fearsome size and decent techniques, Tremor Demon Ancestor wielded his signature Supreme Treasure, the Domain Shattering Awl. He fused it with the spike at the tip of his tail, and every whip-like strike drove his opponent back. The shock waves of their battle tore open spatial rifts stretching for hundreds of millions of miles.

The battle was clearly even more intense than the one Dream Demon Ancestor had fought earlier.

After Tremor Demon Ancestor emerged victorious, the scene vanished.

[TOP 9: Tremor Demon Ancestor, one of the Monster Race's two Progenitors. Gene Level: 10,081 times. His Creation Secret Technique is at the ordinary eighth-tier level. Even without using the offensive Supreme Treasure Domain Shattering Awl, he can unleash ordinary eighth-tier combat strength.]

[Review complete. His strength earns him ninth place.]

[Reward: Supreme Treasure Armor, Black Scale Armor.]

Boom!!!

The moment the reward appeared,

the Primal Universe erupted!

"That fool really is lucky!" Beast Ancestor was so furious he could have spat blood.

Tremor Demon Ancestor already had an offensive Supreme Treasure. Now, with the Black Scale Armor as well, he was like a tiger with wings.

If Beast Ancestor didn't get an even better reward later, he might really have to run whenever he encountered Tremor Demon Ancestor or Dream Demon Ancestor from now on!

"Ugh!!!"

At that moment, Beast Ancestor wished all those rewards belonged to him.

"Damn, Tremor Demon Ancestor got a Supreme Treasure Armor too." Founder Giant Axe sighed. "Looks like we'll have to steer clear of those two when we're exploring the Universe Ocean."

Founder Giant Axe's level of mastery was impressive, but his treasures were simply too poor, keeping him from bringing his full strength to bear.

"It looks like we'll need to tighten our alliance even further." The Crystal Race Holy Lord and the Prison Race Devil Ancestor exchanged glances, then immediately adjusted their plans for cooperation.

"Hahaha, so what if I'm ninth!" Tremor Demon Ancestor burst into laughter as the armor drifted slowly toward him from the void, shrouded in a mysterious glow.

He had been worried that he might receive another offensive Supreme Treasure.

If he really had been that unlucky, he could have accepted it, but it would undoubtedly have done little to increase his strength.

It wouldn't have increased Dream Demon Ancestor's strength either. At most, some fifth-tier peak Universe Master in the Monster Race could have claimed it and reached sixth-tier peak strength.

Fortunately, the Sky Screen had awarded him the Black Scale Armor!

It could completely make up for his weakness!

Not only would it greatly improve his ability to survive, but from now on, whether he was exploring dangerous places throughout the Universe Ocean or fighting other experts, he, Tremor, would have nothing to fear!

"Excellent. With the Black Scale Armor, Zhen Jiao's ability to survive will be greatly enhanced!"

Dream Demon Ancestor smiled as well.

"Mm..." As soon as Tremor Demon Ancestor received the Black Scale Armor, he began refining it.

As he refined it, his smile grew even wider!

"As expected of armor awarded by the mysterious Sky Screen. In its strongest form, it can reduce physical attacks to one hundred-thousandth of their original force! It can also reduce Soul Attacks to one-tenth! And its reduction limit is ninth-tier!"

As the information contained within the Black Scale Armor flooded into his mind, Tremor Demon Ancestor grew even more delighted and immediately shared it with Dream Demon Ancestor.

"Hahaha, excellent!" Dream Demon Ancestor was overjoyed. Judging by its description, the Black Scale Armor was even a little better than her Dream Scale Armor!

With Tremor Demon Ancestor's strength, it would let him roam freely throughout the Universe Ocean!

After all, with the Original Ancestor suppressed, not a single expert among the Three Reincarnation Eras in the vast Universe Ocean could threaten his life!

Tremor Demon Ancestor had always excelled at defense. Now, with the Black Scale Armor, his defense was even stronger.

He was practically impossible to kill!

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

Dream Demon Ancestor looked toward the front of the hall.

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

At that moment,

all the Monster Race experts in the hall looked toward the map as well.

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

But they weren't afraid in the slightest. Instead, their blood ran hot!

The Monster Race had always been cruel and bloodthirsty, prizing slaughter and battle.

Now that the time was ripe and two powerful ancestors stood guard, it would have been strange not to start a war.

"Humanity, the Insect Race, and the Machine Race each have only one Universe Strongest One. They also have fewer Universe Masters than we do, yet they occupy such excellent territory. What a waste!"

Dream Demon Ancestor flicked her forked crimson tongue as she studied the map in the air. "Now, we'll take back the territory that belongs to us!"

Within the Monster Race,

the strong preyed on the weak, and strength ruled.

They were even more ruthless toward outsiders.

In Dream Demon Ancestor and Tremor Demon Ancestor's eyes, their strength had greatly increased, so they naturally needed territory to match.

If they didn't have any,

they would take it!

"The Ancestor speaks wisely!"

Lord of Annihilation, Lord of Blood Chisel, Sky Wolf Master, and the other Monster Race experts voiced their agreement.

"Meng Cha, expanding our territory is imperative. We can have Miejin and the others start making preparations, while the two of us should first see who the top eight are and what treasures they received." Tremor Demon Ancestor was indeed an exception among the Monster Race, being especially cautious and ruthless.

"Very well. Miejin, Lord of Blood Chisel, begin preparing the expansion plan at once!"

"Yes, Ancestor!"

"So the reward was the Black Scale Armor. It's one of the finest armors at the True God level. The Sky Screen's rewards really are no joke."

Yang Yu, standing atop the mountain, watched the Black Scale Armor flash through the void and immediately saw through its properties.

As a King with immense experience on the Treasure Refining Path, Yang Yu could see through weapons and armor like these at a glance, without even touching them.

"The Monster Race has always been ambitious. Now that they've obtained two top-grade Supreme Treasures at once, it looks like the Primal Universe is in for a lively time."

Thinking of the Monster Race's way of doing things, Yang Yu sensed that the balance of power in the Primal Universe might soon undergo a dramatic change.
