"Qingmi, you really are overbearing. You hit all of us with a phantasm attack, aren't you afraid of getting ganged up on?" Venerable Golden Sakura stared at the Mother Emperor with his dark-gold eyes.

The Golden Horned Beast had always been used to being overbearing, yet it was indeed rare to see someone even more overbearing than him.

"Heh, mere ants." Venerable Qing Mi chuckled and said no more, then released a hundred-kilometer mother nest to show her stance.

This Mother Emperor only smiled with disdain, yet she was still so beautiful. Her body was delicate with butterfly-like wings, white and translucent as if cast from crystal, and as soft as water. Her appearance was drop-dead gorgeous, and a single glance made other living beings feel a pang of heartache as though they wanted to protect her.

If the Mother Emperor appeared on Earth, a single appearance would likely bring forth countless simps.

I need to be careful! Yang Hao concentrated. The Mother Emperor releasing her mother nest obviously meant she was preparing for battle.

Even as a newly advanced Universe Venerable, no one knew how many Zerg Warriors she had nurtured. If the quantity was large, she would be a terrifying existence.

He did not know who the Mother Emperor would choose as her target, but he was certainly one of them.

"Slash!" The Golden Horned Beast took the lead, employing the inheritance secret technique Original Body Heaven and Earth. After shrinking a thousandfold, his wingspan was still two thousand kilometers. Flapping his wings and assisted by two secondary bodies, he looked like the darling of space and time, moving with extreme and blinding speed.

His wing grasped a long sword, and countless divine power poured into the wing. Accompanied by the flap of the wing, an incredible sword beam emerged.

Then, his massive body spun, and the long sword appeared on the other wing. With another strike of the wing, followed by a hooved claw grasping the long sword, the final strike was completed by his tail.

The Golden Horned Beast pushed his body to the extreme. Under a handsome set of four consecutive slashes, the divine power of that Northern Border Alliance venerable who had previously been hit by the Zerg Mother Emperor's phantasm attack was thirty percent annihilated!

"Haha, the Northern Border Alliance, just a bunch of clowns hugging for warmth!" The Golden Horned Beast laughed audaciously.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

Over on the side of the Zerg Mother Emperor, Zerg Warriors flew out from the mother nest like mosquitoes filling the sky. But looking closely, one would find that every single Zerg Warrior exceeded a hundred meters in size.

They had insect-like wings, huge compound eyes like those of dragonflies, and entirely golden bodies that resembled humanoids, with their entire frames looking as though they were composed of countless suits of armor.

"One thousand Zerg Warriors!" Yang Hao swept his gaze across them, clearly seeing the Zerg Warriors released by the Mother Emperor. The quantity seemed small, but the attack of each Zerg Warrior could rival the ordinary attack of a primary venerable.

The oral needles of all one thousand Zerg Warriors simultaneously shot out a dazzling white beam of light. The one thousand white beams actually converged at a single point high in the sky at the same time. The coordination of the one thousand powerful Zerg Warriors was simply akin to a single person.

When the one thousand white beams of light converged at a single point, the universe space at that exact location shook violently. Even the stable space on the Primal Star produced a fairly large spatial rift.

Centered around that point, a dazzling ball of light with a diameter exceeding one million kilometers was produced. This light ball, as large as a star, abruptly turned into a shockwave and surged in all directions.

The shockwave dissipated, and the venerable who had just been attacked by the Golden Horned Beast now had an aura less than one-third of his peak state. Evidently, the Zerg combined attack had nearly cost him his life.

This was not the end. The squad composed of the three Demon Race royal bloodlines—the Thousand-Footed Striped Centipede, the Ziqian Myriad Snake, and the Gold-Fearing Hou—also directly launched their attacks.

That lingering venerable was once again subjected to a joint attack, and when his divine power was left at a mere ten percent, he self-detonated!

The Northern Border Alliance possessed over a hundred Universe Masters, so Universe Venerables could naturally be resurrected after falling. However, there was a master of soul manipulation present; if he were to become a soul captive while in a weakened state, that would truly be the end.

"Oh? Interesting..." Yang Hao instantly understood everyone's intention: first eliminate the small fries of the Northern Border Alliance, and then come back to fight for the Supreme Treasure.

"Frenzy!"

"Judgment!"

"Finality!"

Picking a lucky audience member at random, Yang Hao's Mixed Jade Fang delivered three lightning-fast stabs. The three attacks landed simultaneously, and that unlucky Northern Border Alliance venerable turned pale with fury!

"Why is it our Northern Border Alliance again! Since when did this damned Qian Wu become so formidable, wiping out twenty-five percent of my divine power in a single move!"

Yang Hao's attacks lacked the handsome impact of the Golden Horned Beast, nor were they as shocking as the joint attack of the thousand Zerg Universe Venerables, but they were full of destructive power, even surpassing their offensive might.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Zerg, the Demon Race, the Human Race, and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance launched a tacit joint attack, trimming two venerables from the Northern Border Alliance in an extremely short span of time.

"Not good, let's run!" The venerables of the Northern Border Alliance had always engaged in righteous ganging up, a bunch of venerables beating up a single person, and were accustomed to bullying the few with the many.

Today, however, they were taught a lesson by a joint alliance of six powerhouses.

"Haha, the damned Northern Border Alliance, as annoying as mosquitoes!" The Golden Horned Beast laughed audaciously. Under his leadership, the number of venerables fighting for the Supreme Treasure abruptly plummeted by more than half.

However, the ones who remained were all powerhouses, at least High Universe Venerables. Although the three Demon Race royal squads lacked bodies as exaggerated as the Golden Horned Beast, their divine bodies were likewise not small, with even the smallest being on the scale of dozens of kilometers.

Though Yang Hao's divine body was relatively small, he possessed the strongest offensive power present, alongside high-grade Supreme Treasure armor, keeping his competitiveness maxed out as well.

Needless to say about the Mother Emperor, she possessed the combined attack of a thousand Zerg Warriors on the material front, and could also harass opponents with soul attacks.

"Now there are only four factions left. How about it? There's only one Supreme Treasure, you know?" The Golden Horned Beast changed his size on the spot, his divine body swelling from two thousand kilometers to one hundred thousand kilometers.

The sheer magnitude of a divine body provided the most direct visual impact, and even when he grew to one hundred thousand kilometers, his combat strength would not be weakened in the slightest.

"Humph! Golden Horned Beast, traitor of the Demon Race!" The giant snake's scales were cyan in color, and densely covered with annular patterns upon the snake scales—all the way to ten thousand rings. It had six wings made of sinew and membrane, and its single black eye stared at the Golden Horned Beast.

The love-hate relationship between the Starry Sky Behemoths and the Demon Race had spanned countless years. The Demon Race always felt that the Starry Sky Behemoths were a part of them, yet the Starry Sky Beast Alliance had no territorial needs and disdained being lumped together with the Demon Race; this was merely the Demon Race's unrequited, delusional yearning.

"Hahahaha, were you Demon Race raised on telling jokes? I might as well just be laughed to death, seeing as the three of you runts are no match for me either." Venerable Golden Sakura laughed; these Demon Race runts were quite adept at telling jokes.

"How ironic. My Starry Sky Beast Alliance roams the universe at ease, whereas you Demon Race ants huddle together and deal ruthless blows over trivial matters—what does that look like? Can our noble bloodline work together with the likes of you?"

Venerable Golden Sakura continued, "You Demon Race ants had better not provoke me. Otherwise, I'd rather forgo the Supreme Treasure than give you lot a swift dispatch."

Overbearing in personality and living a carefree life in the universe, Venerable Golden Sakura felt he had been insulted. If not for the presence of Yang Hao and the Zerg Mother Emperor, he would have already rushed forward to beat the three Demon Race members to a pulp.

Demon Race venerables basically relied on massive divine bodies and possessed rather poor comprehension themselves, yet the Golden Horned Beast had an even more massive divine body alongside various inheritance secret techniques, making his combat strength all the more formidable!
