This auction event was exceptionally grand, with every item up for bid being a truly rare and peerless treasure of inestimable value. There was the Nine Treasures Divine Fruit, a twelve-thousand-year-old supreme medicinal spirit; flawless immortal garments; a Monarch World Heart; a unique handwritten manuscript from an Ancient Monarch; priceless pill formulas for ninth-grade elixirs; fragments of the profound insights from a Supreme Emperor's scripture; supreme treasures born from chaos; and ancient eggs containing descendants of beings flowing with the bloodline of Mythical Supreme Ones—though not comparable to a Chaos Immortal Egg, they still possessed boundless potential...
One priceless, peerless treasure after another was continuously auctioned off. The bidding for each item saw the various great figures within the Three Thousand Divine Towers vying fiercely, not hesitating to spend billions in their competition, sparking truly heated bidding wars.
However, some of the truly formidable great figures remained silent, such as Dan Xu, Qin Jiu You of the Soul-Restraining Hall, Grandmaster An Mu, the Great Power from the Flame Emperor Clan who had come, the Guardian Great Powers who had rushed from the Ultimate Ancient Path, and Ye Chen, among others. Each of them only participated in a few bids, setting their sights on the final, truly concluding secret treasures.
What kind of immeasurable value must the concluding treasure of the grandest auction event in the entire ancient universe—without equal—possess to stir the hearts of all? It was likely that there were even hidden Ancient Monarchs present in the venue, concealing their forms, all for the sake of obtaining the ultimate concluding treasure.
Soon, after a full three hours, one supreme treasure after another was auctioned off. The highest transaction naturally belonged to the Monarch World Heart from Vice Hall Master Qin Jiu You of the Soul-Restraining Hall, valued at three billion. The lowest still required over a hundred million, truly worthy of being called the most magnificent auction event.
However, by this time, the great figures who had been resting with closed eyes in many of the divine towers had now opened them one by one. Dazzling light erupted from their pupils as they all focused their attention on the enchanting auctioneer at the central auction divine platform.
For at this moment, her red lips parted slightly, and her alluring, charming voice slowly rang out: "Esteemed guests, the next item up for bid will be one of the concluding supreme treasures of tonight's auction event—"
Whoosh—
Simultaneously, a Great Power from the Dan Emperor Clan appeared, his presence terrifyingly formidable. He was a super Great Power at the seventh heaven, the imperial bloodline power within his body fully awakening, allowing him to rival an eighth-heaven Great Power across levels. He personally brought forth this concluding treasure.
He opened his internal space, revealing a brilliant mass of chaotic light accompanied by powerful Sovereign laws. It was a World Heart, not a Monarch World Heart, but it was extraordinary.
Naturally, this was not the main point. The more crucial point was the object within the World Heart. The moment it appeared, it immediately drew the attention of all the great figures in the Three Thousand Divine Towers—
The Immortal's Broken Arm!
Yes, it was the Immortal's Broken Arm—the severed arm of a Supreme Immortal that had been cut out from the Chaos Origin Stone earlier today!
Naturally, an ordinary World Heart could not completely seal such an Immortal's Broken Arm. Even after falling and after countless eons, the aura of a Supreme Immortal remained cataclysmic in level and would inevitably shatter it.
But with the addition of Primordial Chaos Qi and Sovereign laws, it could be temporarily preserved, just like within the Chaos Origin Stone, sealed inside.
The super Great Power from the Dan Emperor Clan, with a majestic expression, faced the Three Thousand Divine Towers and slowly spoke: "According to our understanding, this is a broken arm left behind by a Supreme Immortal from the Primordial Immortal Realm of the Mythical Epoch, originating from the Primordial Chaos Ancient Battlefield. Although it has passed through endless years, it was later enveloped by a Chaos Origin Stone, preserving part of its essence energy, allowing for the refinement of true Supreme Immortal essence blood."
"Moreover, it also contains fragments of Supreme Immortal laws, involving the supreme domain of Emperors and Sovereigns, as well as the fundamental immortal laws of the Primordial Immortal Realm. However, the one who cut it out perished unexpectedly due to the cataclysmic aura erupted by the Immortal's Broken Arm. Yet, our Dan Emperor Clan dares not claim it exclusively. Therefore, with the permission of the descendants of the one who cut it out, we are auctioning it here, with the final proceeds belonging to them!"
There was no embellishment, no exaggeration, but the Immortal's Broken Arm was enough to speak for itself.
A Supreme Immortal, equal to Emperors and Sovereigns, hailing from the most mysterious and powerful Primordial Immortal Realm, who fell in a terrifying Emperor-level war. Even a severed broken arm was of immeasurable value.
Furthermore, the broken arm contained Supreme Immortal Dao blood, harboring immortal energy that had not completely dissipated. If fully refined, it could extract several drops of flawless immortal blood. It also contained the Supreme Immortal's Immortal Dao Emperor laws, embodying Great Dao Immortal Chains, allowing for a degree of comprehension into the profound mysteries of that supreme, unparalleled domain. Calling it priceless was not an exaggeration.
Precisely because of this, the Immortal's Broken Arm captivated everyone's gaze.
In an instant, blazing gazes shot out from the Three Thousand Divine Towers, filled with intense desire to claim it for themselves.
Boom—
At this moment, the Imperial Clan Great Power released wisps of terrifying pressure from within his body that surpassed the Great Power level—it was that of an Ancient Monarch. He possessed a true Monarch Immortal Weapon within him, using it to exert corresponding deterrence.
Sure enough, after the Monarch Immortal Weapon erupted with its terrifying immortal aura, the previously fervent gazes of the great figures in the Three Thousand Divine Towers became somewhat restrained, looking warily at the Imperial Clan Great Power on the auction divine platform.
"A severed Immortal's Broken Arm would be of tremendous help to our hall's plans," Qin Jiu You's voice was low, and he coldly added: "If our hall can refine and assimilate it, combined with the Monarch World Heart, the probability of breaking into the Monarch realm would be even greater. Within a hundred years, we would certainly be able to break into this supreme domain."
Thinking this, Qin Jiu You's gaze grew even more fervent.
Currently, he only lacked the corresponding opportunity. Once obtained, he would undergo a complete transformation, leaping over the dragon gate to fully become an Ancient Monarch who could look down upon all heavens.
"No matter what, we cannot let the Soul-Restraining Hall obtain this Immortal's Broken Arm."
Yet Ye Chen also had his reservations. He had thought of this layer as well, glancing far towards the direction of the Soul-Restraining Hall's divine tower before his own eyes also burned with fervent heat: "Moreover, this Immortal's Broken Arm would be of great help to me as well. It could assist me in comprehending chaos to a higher level, and more importantly—"
More importantly, once he assimilated the Supreme Immortal's broken arm, the Supreme Immortal Dao blood within it contained unparalleled Great Dao divine power—immortal Dao divine power. Perhaps he could use it to undergo a complete transformation, leap over the dragon gate, and step into the domain of an Ancient Great Power, truly contending for supremacy on the Ancient Path and assaulting the final barrier!
Yes, this was what Ye Chen was thinking. He had always been stuck at the peak of the Heavenly King realm, on the boundary line below the Great Power level, neither advancing nor retreating.
Sooner or later, he would have to cross this boundary line. When that time came, he would surely soar to the heavens, walking proudly through the world. Facing true Ancient Path overlords, he was confident he wouldn't need to make a deal with the Ancient Desolation Divine Spirit like before just to have the power to fight!
And not only that, he could also use the Supreme Immortal Dao blood to trade with the Ancient Desolation Divine Spirit.
In short, the value of this Supreme Immortal's broken arm was immense. No matter what, Ye Chen had to obtain it.
Moreover, he cast a cold, murderous gaze towards Vice Hall Master Qin Jiu You.
Although Qin Jiu You had obtained the Monarch World Heart, Ye Chen naturally was unwilling to give up. If an opportunity arose, he would certainly strike, ambushing Qin Jiu You, even if it required trading with the Ancient Desolation Divine Spirit.
"Several Ancestors, why are we auctioning the Supreme Immortal's broken arm? Shouldn't it belong to our Dan Emperor Clan?" Meanwhile, Dan Yang frowned as he spoke. He had learned earlier that the cut-out Supreme Immortal's broken arm had been sealed and taken away by the Dan Emperor Clan. It should belong to the Dan Emperor Clan, so why did it need to be auctioned now?
Generally speaking, the entire clan shouldn't be willing to make such a decision.
At this moment, Dan Xu spoke: "This is also unavoidable. The influence of the Immortal's Broken Arm is too great. Although our Dan Emperor Clan ultimately sealed and took it away, the various forces were unwilling, and there were even alchemy grandmasters, even Ancient Monarchs who sent word, hoping to obtain this Immortal's Broken Arm fairly!"
He revealed many secrets. Even a powerful and prosperous Imperial Clan like the Dan Emperor Clan, despite possessing unparalleled imperial heritage, being guarded by Ancient Monarchs, and having the Supreme Emperor Weapon left by the Alchemy Emperor, still dared not openly oppose the entire ancient universe.
Doing so would undoubtedly make them a target for all. Moreover, with Ancient Monarchs secretly intervening, the Dan Emperor Clan had no choice but to make this decision.
Naturally, it was also because the value of the Immortal's Broken Arm had not reached the point where the Dan Emperor Clan would spare no expense. If it were an Emperor's corpse, the Dan Emperor Clan would most likely act in that manner.
However, even so, this was the location of the Dan Emperor Clan's imperial realm. They held a great advantage, possessing immeasurable treasures, and naturally were not afraid to compete with other great figures and ancient forces for the Supreme Immortal's broken arm.
Because of the appearance of the concluding supreme treasure, the Immortal's Broken Arm, the emotions of the many great figures in the Three Thousand Divine Towers were ignited. One by one, they looked fervently at the broken arm on the central auction divine platform. Even those originally aloof alchemy masters and alchemy grandmasters were no exception, appearing quite fervent.
"Interesting, hehe!"
The old master stroked his long beard and chuckled, his laughter carrying a profound meaning.
"The Immortal's Broken Arm, originating from the severed arm of a Supreme Immortal from the Primordial Immortal Realm, contains supreme, unparalleled Supreme Immortal laws. The starting bid—"
The auctioneer spoke gracefully, dragging out the ending, further heightening everyone's anticipation. For such a concluding supreme treasure, moreover concerning the broken arm of a supreme existence like a Supreme Immortal, what astonishingly high starting bid would appear?
Even though it was only a broken arm, its value was still incalculable.
"Three billion!"
The moment the enchanting auctioneer's words fell, the entire auction hall within the Three Thousand Divine Towers fell into complete silence, followed by a collective intake of cold breath.
Everyone was dumbfounded, including Ye Chen, who was shocked.
Three billion! Not three hundred million!
The difference was a full tenfold. Yet, the total wealth of an ordinary Great Power only started at four or five hundred million. One must remember, this was the equivalent value in treasures, not spirit stones.
And the starting bid alone was a staggering three billion!
Let alone others, even some great figures who originally considered themselves immensely wealthy, including alchemy masters and even alchemy grandmasters, were somewhat dumbfounded.
For a long time, the entire auction hall fell into a deathly silence.
The experts from the Dan Emperor Clan and Flame Emperor Clan also fell into silence.
There was no helping it. Over ninety percent of the Great Powers present questioned whether they possessed such wealth, and others were even more so.
A full quarter of an hour passed before a voice slowly echoed through the pin-drop silent auction hall: "Three billion and ten thousand!"
The abruptly appearing voice undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention. Looking over, it was none other than the Battle Saint King who had spoken.
Although it was only an increase of ten thousand over the original base, it was undoubtedly still eye-catching. After all, across the Three Thousand Divine Towers, how many could take this step?
Many of the younger generation looked at Ye Chen, their gazes filled with special awe.
Astonishment at his possession of wealth exceeding three billion, reverence for his slaughter of young supremes—such an existence was like an immortal divine mountain, towering before all of the younger generation, inspiring awe.
Even Dan Yang, the leader of the Dan Emperor Clan's younger generation, had to admit this.
"Three billion, one hundred million!"
This time, the speaker was clearly an ancestor from the Dan Emperor Clan. Naturally, the Dan Emperor Clan did not lack wealth. As an ancient clan that had produced an Alchemy Emperor, with a legacy spanning countless eons, their accumulated wealth was unimaginably vast.
"Three billion, five hundred million!"
Qin Jiu You of the Soul-Restraining Hall also spoke up, simultaneously casting a sinister look at Ye Chen.
In response, Ye Chen merely smiled slightly. However, the moment he spoke, it was like a stone causing a thousand ripples: "Three billion, five hundred million!"
Yes, three billion, five hundred million!
An increase to three billion, five hundred million over the original base!
Many people sucked in cold breaths. Seeing the Battle Saint King's calm expression, they speculated whether he truly possessed such astonishing wealth or was intentionally setting a trap to deceive the Soul-Restraining Hall. After all, not long ago, Qin Jiu You had been severely tricked by him like this.
Hearing this, even though Qin Jiu You tried to remain composed, his heart still skipped a beat, clearly recalling the recent event, vivid in his mind.
The several Great Powers behind him spoke up to advise: "Lord, you must not fall for the Battle Saint King's trick again."
However, Qin Jiu You took a deep breath and said, "It's fine. This hall does not believe this little beast truly possesses such astonishing wealth."
He spoke: "Three billion, six hundred million!"
"Three billion, six hundred and ten million!"
Yet, the speaker was not the Battle Saint King, but the Flame Emperor Clan—a Great Power who now frowned but, for the sake of the Immortal's Broken Arm, also spoke up.
"Three billion, seven hundred million—"
Dan Xu spoke, but before his words could fully land, the voice of the Battle Saint King came, causing everyone's hearts to skip a beat: "Four billion!"
Another increase of three hundred million! Countless people in the Three Thousand Divine Towers were dumbfounded. It was simply too audacious. Moreover, looking at the Battle Saint King's expression, he didn't even blink.
Under the complete silence of the entire venue, the enchanting auctioneer, seeing that many had not spoken up, had no choice but to announce:
"Four billion, first time—"
"Four billion, second time—"
"Four billion, third time!"
By the time many people, including those from the Flame Emperor Clan, Dan Emperor Clan, and Soul-Restraining Hall, regained their senses, they found the auction had ended. Ultimately, the Immortal's Broken Arm fell into the hands of the Battle Saint King for four billion.
