Yamoshi was the first true Super Saiyan God

The original Super Saiyan fought to the bitter end

Long before Goku unlocked his legendary Super Saiyan state, there was Yamoshi, the original Super Saiyan centuries before the series began. After his death, his soul wandered aimlessly before finding the 6 Pure Hearts to bring the Super Saiyan God.

Of course, the power Yamoshi boasts is entirely speculative, as fans never got to see him in action in his prime. However, it was still enough that it sparked a vision within Beerus himself, who learned of this legend, that could safely place Yamoshi as an extremely powerful ancient warrior.

Majin Buu was the biggest threat millions of years ago

The deadly monster of destruction returned at the end of DBZ

Millions of years before the start of the series, the greatest threat the galaxy faced was Majin Buu, a fearsome monster from the Demon Realm whose powers were among the most terrifying in the setting. As pure destruction, Buu's entire purpose was to destroy everything he encountered.

Because of this, Buu managed to single-handedly destroy an entire galaxy, showing just how immeasurable his power truly was. It was only through the efforts of Grand Supreme Kai that the villain was finally locked away for millions of years until he was reawakened by Babidi at the beginning of the Buu Saga.

Moro was even more dangerous as Majin Buu

The Planet Eater is the only villain with Ultra Instinct

Like Buu, Universe 7 faced another impossibly powerful threat millions of years before the main story began. However, whereas Buu sought to destroy anything he encountered, Moro was a villain whose lust for power drove him to leave entire planets completely desolate and freed of all living things by absorbing their life force and energy.

This led to his defeat and capture within the Galactic Patrol prison, until his untimely escape at the beginning of the arc that bears his name. Here, he showed exactly why he was the greatest threat to Universe 7 all those eons ago, as he was able to absorb Merus to awaken his own Ultra Instinct as a threat to the entire universe.

Beerus and the Destroyers are legendary universal gods

The Gods of Destruction are the ultimate warriors

In every universe, there are certain characters who exist at the top of the hierarchy as powerful symbols who can destroy anything using their Hakai power, regardless of size and complexity. These are the Gods of Destruction, and their power is so powerful that they stand unchallenged as the most powerful beings in their universe for millions of years.

Although most of them remain a mystery as to how long they've been active, Beerus has been doing his thing for at least 65 million years, making him impossibly old and one of the most powerful and important figures in the multiverse. The age of the Destroyers is never revealed, but they are, collectively, some mighty ancient creatures. Dragon Ball.

Angels are stronger than destroyers

The allies of the Gods of Destruction are the most powerful beings in each universe

Like destroyers, angels are ancient beings who have been active with specific gods of destruction for millions of years on end. However, despite their role of serving these destroyers, the Angels are actually leagues stronger than them, as can be seen by how Whis one-shots Beerus to take him out.

The main reason for this absurd power is the Angel's inherent mastery of Ultra Instinct, the greatest martial arts technique in the multiverse. It is strongly implied that Whis has been Beerus' attendant since Beerus became the Destroyer of Universe 7, making him and his siblings the oldest and most powerful beings in existence.

The Grand Priest is the strongest angel of them all

The Father of angels trained them all

Among angels, it is said that the older they are, the younger they appear and the more adept they are in terms of mastery of the Ultra Instinct. Naturally, the best example of this is the Grand Priest, who is the father of all Angels and the greatest known user of Ultra Instinct in the Multiverse.

Like his children, the Grand Priest acts as an attendant to the Destroyer, albeit on a multidimensional level, as he is an attendant to none other than Zeno. He was the father of the Angels, he was obviously older than them, with an even greater level of power, as he could have millions of years of great experience with Ultra Instinct.

2

Grand Xeno has the power to erase the multiverse

The Omni King rules over all

Of all those featured in the series, none have shown greater offensive power than the Omni King, Grand Xeno. Acting as the God of Destruction on a massive scale, he has destructive power enough to wipe out entire timelines and universes with a wave of his hand, showing just how fragmented his powers are.

There is nothing complicated about deleting Zeno. Of course, his actual age is a mystery, but seeing as how he sits on top of the multiverse and acts as the final arbiter of whether the universe exists or not, that puts him as impossibly ancient, possibly even a multiverse bias.

Before Majin Rhymes there was no multiverse

Rymus was the original creator of Dragon Ball

When talking about characters that are incredibly ancient and extremely powerful, Majin Rymus stands at the top of everything. He is the one who created the whole creation Dragon Ball Multiverse in the first place after being ordered to do so by the good Demon King from the Demon Realm.

The Demon Realm is ancient, and it predates the Multiverse by an unknown number of years, which itself is a brief indication of the history and importance of the Majin Raimus. It is said that he is still out there somewhere, which can definitely rate him as the oldest and strongest character in the franchise.
