Chapter 1267: Battle Against the Dream Demon Ancestor

Inside the massive warship.

A massive silver serpent coiled around the throne, its eyes half-lidded in repose. Its tail wound around the edge of the throne in eight or nine loops, extending all the way down to the grand hall below. There, twelve mighty Cosmic Sovereigns of the Demon Race sat in solemn meditation, each cultivating their power in preparation for the impending great battle.

“Hmm?” The silver serpent suddenly turned its gaze toward a certain direction.

All twelve Demon Sovereigns of the Cosmos turned their gaze.

The ship’s hull didn’t block their vision, allowing them to see clearly in the distant dark starry sky three palace-like treasures—respectively a ship, a pyramid, and a palace.

“The Tomb Ship?” Mengyao Ancestor’s voice was low, “It’s the humans!”

“Humans!”

“The humans actually dared to strike first.” The demonic Cosmic Sovereigns roared one after another, shrieking in fury.

“Hmph!”

With a snort of rage.

Outside the colossal warship, the dark starry sky resembled an endless ocean. In an instant, “space-time ripples” surged forth, distorting space-time and forming powerful shockwaves that crashed wildly toward the three palatial treasures, wave after wave. The black pyramid and ancient palace were instantly flung behind the Tomb Ship.

“Boom~~~” Powerful shockwaves continuously struck the Tomb Ship.

Yet the Tomb Ship remained incredibly stable. Back in the Yanbing Realm, it had withstood attacks from so many super existences without being affected. How could it fear these space-time waves?

As the ripples of space-time continued to surge through the dark starry sky, the three palace-like treasures resembled three small reefs enduring the ceaseless waves. At this very moment—

“Luofeng, look.”

“It’s Mengyao Ancestor.”

Inside the Tomb Ship, Bingfeng Sovereign, Longxing Sovereign, Huangjian Sovereign, and Youhou Sovereign all held their breath watching outside, as did Luofeng.

Within the dark space-time waves, an enormous silver serpent’s body gradually emerged, faintly visible. This silver serpent stretched out, seemingly spanning the entire dark starry sky. Its length must have been about one light-year, an absolutely terrifying sight.

“Mengyao Ancestor’s body has become this huge,” Youhou Sovereign murmured.

Huangjian Sovereign coldly replied, “Mengyao Ancestor possesses the Supreme Treasured Armor ‘Menglin’! With such armor protection, its defense is extremely strong. Generally, powerful beings who transform their divine bodies only change to a normal appropriate size. Deliberately enlarging without limit would only cause a sharp decline in defense. However, first, it is a Champion of the Universe, whose divine body is already immensely powerful. The Original Universe suppresses its power, allowing it to display only ten thousand times the genetic might of a Cosmic Sovereign. Second, it has the Supreme Treasured Armor! With these two advantages combined, of course it dares to enlarge its divine body recklessly.”

“It seems it plans to wipe out all three of our teams,” Bingfeng Sovereign narrowed his eyes.

“Prepare to attack,” Luofeng directly ordered.

Whoosh!

In an instant, he teleported directly to the Tomb Ship’s hatch. Previously, during the struggle for the inheritance of the Qiandonghe Clan, teleportation inside the Tomb Ship had been impossible. But now Luofeng was its master. He could control the ship’s many mechanical functions and easily teleport.

The hatch opened, and Luofeng stood at the entrance. Looking into the distant dark starry sky, he saw the silver serpent, a full light-year in length, its massive tail already sweeping over.

Moreover, on the warship atop the serpent’s head, the demonic race’s Cosmic Sovereigns had appeared.

“Luofeng, I’ll fight it first!” From a palace-like treasure behind the Tomb Ship, a figure emerged—Penggong Sovereign.

Penggong Sovereign held the Yanjun Rod, which was black and purple, with intricate patterns. The rod extended to form a set of black and purple armor, boots, and a helmet around Penggong Sovereign’s body. At this moment, Penggong Sovereign exuded an overwhelming aura. With a furious roar, he charged directly toward the immense Mengyao Ancestor.

Mengyao Ancestor’s massive form swiftly charged towards the three palaces, while atop its head on the warship, the twelve demonic Cosmic Sovereigns assembled.

“Look, the humans have come out.”

“Oh, judging by the aura, it should be Penggong Sovereign.”

“Utterly insolent! A mere Penggong Sovereign dares to challenge our clan’s Mengyao Ancestor? He’s courting death!” The twelve Cosmic Sovereigns of the demon race gathered together, observing the scene with serene assurance. In this racial war, they harbored absolute confidence—after all, their side possessed a Champion of the Universe.

This battle’s beginning would let Mengyao Ancestor display his power first. If they joined in now, Mengyao Ancestor might not even be pleased.

“Boom—whoosh—”

In the distance, Penggong Sovereign suddenly swung the Yanjun Rod.

The rod instantly expanded, growing from tens of thousands of kilometers long to hundreds of millions of kilometers in an instant. The tip of the rod carried an incredibly terrifying aura, piercing through layers of space directly toward Mengyao Ancestor’s vast, winding body. This strike caused Mengyao Ancestor to cry out in delighted surprise: “Supreme Treasured Artifact!!!”

Boom!

The tip of the Yanjun Rod fiercely stabbed into Mengyao Ancestor’s massive body, causing only a tremor in that section of its body, leaving it unharmed.

“Never imagined your human race still possesses Supreme Treasured Artifacts, and one I’ve never encountered before,” the colossal serpent head loomed, gazing down at Penggong Sovereign from afar, its voice transcending space-time and resonating everywhere. “Though you now wield the power of a peak Sixth Stage Cosmic Sovereign, what does that amount to? In the Original Universe, strength is suppressed. Even the mightiest can only unleash force equivalent to a top-tier Sixth Stage. But my divine form, my Supreme Treasured Armor… can endure far greater assaults without a scratch. Let alone an attack from a mere Sixth Stage. One might say—in the Original Universe, bound by these constraints, I… am unkillable! Hahaha…”

The three human teams heard this but remained completely unconcerned.

Indeed.

In the Original Universe, killing a Champion of the Universe is extremely unrealistic. However… the true target of the human race in this battle was not the Champions of the Universe, but the Cosmic Sovereigns!

“Kill!” “Kill!”

Standing on the Tomb Ship, Luofeng, with the stone blade on his back, and Dark Sovereign from the distant black pyramid, both spoke simultaneously, signaling the other two teams to move.

“Big!”

“Big!”

“Big!”

The approaching black pyramid continuously expanded, in the blink of an eye becoming a towering black pyramid three light-years high. In terms of volume, Mengyao Ancestor was like a slender silver serpent beside a tower. This black pyramid radiating endless might… directly roared toward the giant silver serpent.

“Supreme Treasured Artifact!!!” Mengyao Ancestor cried out in shock.

“Another Supreme Treasured Artifact!” The twelve demonic Cosmic Sovereigns above Mengyao Ancestor’s form were utterly stunned. Earlier, they had been astounded that Penggong Sovereign possessed a Supreme Treasured Artifact, but now they were gripped by sheer terror! How? How could two Supreme Treasured Artifacts emerge so effortlessly? Were these even still Supreme Treasured Artifacts?

Moreover, these were palace-type Supreme Treasured Artifacts—the most important category!

Palace-type artifacts generally had suppression and sealing abilities. Possessing a Supreme Treasured Palace allowed them to venture into many dangerous places within the three greatest perilous regions, making their value extremely high.

“Truly the Heiyu Pagoda! It’s really the Heiyu Pagoda from the Dongdi Holy Land! How did it end up in the hands of the human race?” Mengyao Ancestor couldn’t believe it. Previously, seeing the black pyramid hadn’t concerned him much, as pyramid-shaped artifacts were indeed numerous. However, a black pyramid-shaped Supreme Treasured Artifact existed only once—the Heiyu Pagoda of the Dongdi Holy Land!

“No matter how you humans obtained it, this Heiyu Pagoda shall be ours!” Mengyao Ancestor’s heart surged with intense greed and desire.

As the towering Black Jade Pagoda came crashing down, the Mengyao Patriarch swiftly retreated while urgently commanding: “Demon race, charge! Charge! Seize these two Supreme Divine Artifacts first!”

The twelve Demon Clan Cosmic Sovereigns, who had been anxiously waiting, were instantly filled with excitement and thrill upon hearing this command.

“Yes, Demon Ancestor.”

“Yes, Demon Ancestor.”

“We’ve been waiting for so long. Two Supreme Divine Artifacts! Once our demon clan obtains them, our power will be significantly enhanced.”

(Note: “妖族” is translated as “demon clan” to align with common fantasy genre terminology. “Supreme Treasured Artifacts” is rendered as “Supreme Divine Artifacts” for more natural English phrasing while preserving the original meaning.)

“Indeed, the human race is quite extraordinary.”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

“Seize everything!”

Mingjin Sovereign, Tianlang Sovereign, Youmo Sovereign… one by one, the demonic Cosmic Sovereigns roared, howled, and shrieked. Their diverse forms represented the mighty factions within the demonic race. Almost simultaneously, they teleported directly onto the battlefield.

Twelve Cosmic Sovereigns acting together!

When the twelve Cosmic Sovereigns instantly arrived at the heart of the battlefield, where Penggong Sovereign, Dark Sovereign, and Mengyao Ancestor were locked in combat, they appeared and immediately launched a collective assault on Penggong Sovereign without hesitation.

“Magic Island Vine!”

“Heart’s Nine Realms!”

“Annihilation Flame!”

In an instant, attacks from powerful mental power artifacts entangled and obstructed, illusion attacks emerged, direct soul assaults occurred, and massive war blades, axes, and claws slashed through the air. The combined might of the twelve Cosmic Sovereigns, especially under the Original Universe’s suppression, was likely even more terrifying than a single Champion of the Universe’s attack!

“We’ve been waiting for you to show yourselves!” Dark Sovereign, Luofeng, and Penggong Sovereign, though in different locations, all simultaneously smirked.

“Dark Descent!”

The towering black pyramid suddenly emitted endless dark ripples, instantly enveloping a vast expanse and naturally encompassing the twelve Demon Race Cosmic Sovereigns.

Meanwhile, Luofeng, who had stood on the Tomb Ship without moving, spread his four silver wings. Endless golden mist instantly covered a ten-light-year radius around him. Simultaneously, he activated his peak realm treasure, “Xuesha Sea.” In an instant, the dark starry sky was filled with countless icy white sand particles. Combined with the golden mist, they formed an incredibly powerful binding force, directly restraining each of the twelve Cosmic Sovereigns.

The golden realm and Xuesha Sea!

Combined…

Instantly overwhelmed and expelled all other peak realm treasures. Without any Supreme Realm Treasure appearing, the golden realm combined with Xuesha Sea was practically unrivaled in domain power.

“Boom!”

The Tomb Ship’s speed immediately surged, charging directly toward the location of the twelve Cosmic Sovereigns.
