It was not bronze, nor was it a stone coffin. It could not even be considered a true burial coffin, all because this burial coffin was far too special. It was shaped like a towering divine tree, its entire body only about ten zhang tall, with lush, verdant branches and leaves that seemed to drip with vitality, swaying and shimmering with a vast, boundless power of the void.
If not for the introduction by the Imperial Clan Great Power, probably no one would have believed this was a burial coffin.
Buzz—
They saw the Imperial Clan Great Power clap his palm, containing an unparalleled Great Dao power capable of shattering stars. Yet when it landed on the towering divine tree, a majestic Great Dao power bloomed forth, containing the supreme laws of the Great Dao of Space-Time. It actually directly devoured the Imperial Clan Great Power's slap, silently refining it into divine energy, causing the divine tree's radiance to grow even more dazzling.
"What a divine tree! Could it be a Void Tree?"
Many people were astonished. After all, the Void Tree was a branch of the World Tree. Using it as a burial coffin was truly extravagant.
However, soon someone shook their head. Among them, a Great Power from the Flame Emperor Clan had a grave expression, two brilliant divine lights shooting from his eyes: "No, it's not a Void Tree. Perhaps this is the real World Tree!"
World Tree!?
Upon hearing this, everyone drew a sharp breath of cold air.
The World Tree was a truly supreme living being, lofty and exalted. When grown to its limit, it was not inferior to a Supreme One. Even the first-generation World Tree had broken through the Emperor-Sovereign domain, and had deduced the Great Dao laws of Space and Time to their utmost extreme, hailed as the Time-Space Great Emperor, considered one of the greatest existences Throughout the ages.
Yet, such a World Tree was being used as a burial coffin. This couldn't help but shock everyone.
Just what kind of exalted being could have a mighty World Tree serve as its burial coffin? Weren't they afraid of angering the most terrifying Time-Space Great Emperor?
It was precisely because of this that people grew even more curious about what kind of peerless existence was buried within this coffin.
Moreover, there was only one burial coffin. Logically, anyone should be researching it—researching the World Tree, researching the being within the coffin. Yet now it was being auctioned. This was the most astonishing part.
What was most daunting was that such an existence should also be buried in the Nine Heavens above, not put up for auction. That was a form of desecration. Even if a Supreme One fell, there was a special resonance. If desecrated, it would likely cause unimaginable terror and consequences.
Even an Imperial Clan would absolutely not dare to do such a thing.
"The World Tree Burial Coffin once buried an unfathomable existence, but that being has long since vanished, its whereabouts unknown. This burial coffin was retrieved from the depths of the starry sky, and the World Tree within has not completely perished. It contains a wisp of Indestructible True Spirit. It can become the central ancestral tree of an Origin Heaven and Earth, helping a great world expand more vastly and become more stable. It can also serve as a burial coffin."
"Furthermore, based on some research, this burial coffin has a great origin. It is suspected to be the burial coffin of a Supreme Emperor. Although it is not a Nine-Layered Divine Spirit Coffin, it is in no way inferior to one. It is similarly inscribed with profound and unfathomable Emperor Dao laws, even involving the supreme Great Dao mysteries of the reincarnation domain. If one were to fall in the future and bury oneself within it, perhaps after endless years, a wisp of Indestructible True Spirit could be reborn from the corpse, allowing one to revive once more!"
The Imperial Clan Great Power offered some shocking explanations, mentioning that the True Spirit of the World Tree, the coffin's main body, had not yet perished. As long as one paid a sufficient price, there was a chance to reverse it, transforming it back into a World Tree seed.
If planted at the center of one's Origin Heaven and Earth and nurtured, it could one day transform back into a World Tree, becoming the core of the Origin Heaven and Earth. In later stages, it could even allow the Origin Heaven and Earth to transform into a true Origin Great World, giving a Great Power a higher chance of impacting the Ancient Monarch realm.
Naturally, one could also seize it, becoming a true World Tree, embarking on a heaven-defying path from then on!
Upon hearing this, under the vast heavens, how many could truly remain unmoved? Probably even an Ancient Monarch would be tempted.
Because the World Tree was one of the living beings possessing truly supreme bloodline. It could autonomously comprehend the Great Dao of Space-Time, and as it continuously grew, this comprehension would awaken the bloodline inheritance within its body, deepening it endlessly.
One must know how profound and mysterious the Great Dao of Space-Time was. The Time-Space Great Emperor had attained the Dao through it, precisely because of this, he evolved the Great Dao of Space-Time to its extreme, from then on becoming an Emperor and Sovereign, reaching the domain of the strongest Emperor-Sovereign in the world.
It was rumored that once the Great Dao of Space-Time evolved to its extreme, one could truly reverse time and space, traverse past and future, omnipotent.
The Time-Space Great Emperor was suspected to have traversed past and future, remaining undying all along.
Naturally, regarding this point, no one knew for sure.
As for whether it was truly as the Imperial Clan Great Power said—that if one fell in the future and was buried within, one would slumber for hundreds of millions of years within, then give birth to an Indestructible True Spirit and revive against the heavens—this was unknown.
However, a World Tree burial coffin's value was completely on par with the Immortal's Broken Arm. From a certain perspective, and looking further into the future, it was even better, higher.
"Starting bid, seven billion!"
The same starting price as the Immortal's Broken Arm, yet it attracted even more attention. Even those originally relatively quiet Alchemy Masters and Alchemy Grandmasters went crazy once again.
The World Tree, although a supreme living being, from a certain perspective, could still be considered one of the Heaven and Earth Treasures, and absolutely ranked among the most top-tier Heaven and Earth Treasures. Because it contained an unprecedented world attribute, it was exceptionally precious.
Precisely because of this, this World Tree Burial Coffin, from a certain perspective, could also be considered a main ingredient for refining the most top-tier peerless pills. It could also be used in the Alchemy Canon competition, as one of the hopes for winning the championship.
Thus, the many Alchemy Masters and Grandmasters who could remain indifferent to the Immortal's Broken Arm were now all moved.
Among them, before anyone else could bid, Grandmaster An Mu was the first to speak up: "Ten billion!"
With one opening bid, he directly raised it to ten billion. Moreover, he was an Alchemy Grandmaster, his status extraordinarily transcendent, completely on par with an Ancient Monarch. Meeting him, one could treat him with equal courtesy. This immediately caused the entire auction to quiet down considerably.
The many great figures in the three thousand divine towers did not dare to rashly speak up, naturally fearing to offend this Alchemy Grandmaster.
Moreover, Grandmaster An Mu's opening bid of ten billion far exceeded the wealth of many Great Powers.
"Thirteen billion!"
This was another Alchemy Grandmaster speaking up, raising it by another three billion, causing many to draw cold breaths. Many who had intended to bid frowned.
"Twenty billion!" Wow—
As soon as this voice spoke up, the entire venue erupted in exclamations. Not only did it raise the price by a full seven billion at once, but also because this was actually the Battle Saint King speaking.
Many people were dumbfounded.
After all, the Battle Saint King had just recently bid forty billion to win the Immortal's Broken Arm. That was already wealth beyond the reach of many ancient Great Powers. Everyone thought that even if the Battle Saint King was wealthy, he couldn't possibly continue bidding. Who would have thought he now dared to open his mouth and bid twenty billion.
Was this young Chaos Supreme from the Ultimate Ancient Path really so terrifying, possessing endless wealth?
"Little friend, aren't you afraid of offending Grandmasters like An Mu and Liu Lan?" At this moment, the old man suddenly spoke to Ye Chen, sounding somewhat puzzled.
