Luo Dun Elder's slender fingertips glimmered with faint light as he continuously tapped on the Chaos Primordial Stone that was as tall as an adult. With each tap, a wisp of light was sent into the stone. As the light continued to enter, the entire Chaos Primordial Stone seemed to become transparent and luminous in an instant. Within it, something large could vaguely be seen appearing and disappearing.
Unfortunately, Chaos Primordial Stones blocked all forms of detection. Even a master appraiser like Luo Dun Elder could not completely see through them.
"Such a large mass, could it be a divine spirit source? It's probably worth over twenty million." Many great powers exclaimed in amazement, guessing it was a divine spirit source.
Luo Yingu was also delighted. "Senior, is it a divine spirit source?"
Luo Dun Elder's expression was grave. "Uncertain."
He looked at this Chaos Primordial Stone, then at the others. Immediately after, he put down this stone and walked towards the other Chaos Primordial Stones, continuously tapping on them one by one. Whenever the faint light from his fingertips struck a Chaos Primordial Stone, objects within the stone would appear and disappear vaguely. He even saw something resembling a True Dragon swimming within a Chaos Primordial Stone.
"Does it contain a True Dragon?"
Many people grew excited. If a pure-blooded True Dragon were truly cut out, its value would be peerless, surpassing everything else.
However, Luo Dun Elder explained, "It's not necessarily a True Dragon. It might also be dragon aura. This old man cannot yet see through the true appearance within the Chaos Primordial Stone and cannot make an accurate appraisal. But that there is something inside is basically not a mistake."
After speaking, he continued to tap on the Chaos Primordial Stones. Some revealed shadows, while others showed nothing at all.
After a full round, over half of the Chaos Primordial Stones had been tapped and inspected once. Luo Dun Elder finally chose a Chaos Primordial Stone shaped like a rugged, strange rock, about the height of two people. However, because this stone's appearance and aura were both ordinary, its overall value was only nine million catties of spirit stones, relatively cheaper.
Many people were stunned. Clearly, those other Chaos Primordial Stones seemed more extraordinary, with some even vaguely showing True Dragons soaring within. Yet, Luo Dun Elder did not choose those Chaos Primordial Stones. Instead, he chose one that appeared much more ordinary.
"Senior!"
Luo Yingu was even getting anxious. This was not the time to continue choosing cheap Chaos Primordial Stones. It was not as good as the previous one suspected of containing a huge divine spirit source. Even if its maximum value was only twenty million catties of spirit stones, it was at least among the best. He did not believe Ye Chen was so lucky as to cut out a second Chaos Primordial Stone containing a priceless treasure.
"It's fine. I have my own judgment," Luo Dun Elder said, seeming very confident.
The Luo Tian Royal Clan and many other powerful figures could only nod. At this moment, besides trusting Luo Dun Elder, there was no other way.
At this time, Ye Chen also moved.
He walked on foot through the Chaos Primordial Stone area. However, what shocked everyone was that with each step he took, he left behind footprints that emanated primordial Chaos Qi, scattering in all directions.
Simultaneously, the Chaos Primordial Stones touched by the wisps of primordial Chaos Qi suddenly began to tremble and hum. One by one, they rose into the air, clanging and resonating with each other, astonishing everyone.
"This youth is extraordinary. He likely cultivates some Chaos Method that can resonate with Chaos Primordial Stones, using this to investigate. No wonder he is so confident."
A great power exclaimed in admiration, though few of them knew that Ye Chen was a Chaos Saint Body, possessing a complete Chaos origin, not something an ordinary Chaos Method could compare to.
Moreover, these Chaos Primordial Stones were now displaying astonishing phenomena. Each one fiercely erupted with brilliant, fiery light, with various extraordinary transformations appearing within. The True Dragon Stone let out a long cry and soared into the sky. The Immortal Phoenix Stone emitted strands of immortal fire. The Black Tortoise Stone could shatter the void, and so on.
It was simply an extraordinary phenomenon.
In the distance, Luo Dun Elder's expression suddenly changed, then his face completely darkened.
Ye Chen immersed his mind, using his spiritual sense to perceive. After a long while, he locked onto a Chaos Primordial Stone about three chi in diameter. It was shaped like a millstone, and on its surface was naturally engraved a Dao diagram of the Yin-Yang Taiji symbol, appearing extraordinary.
Its value was fifteen million catties of spirit stones.
Ye Chen said, "I choose this one."
"Good, let's cut the stones."
At this moment, neither Luo Dun Elder nor Ye Chen hesitated. They directly began cutting the stones.
Luo Dun Elder's silver knife fiercely erupted with streams of fiery silver radiance that coiled around the long blade. He swiftly brought the knife down, continuously shaving off layers of stone powder that covered the entire floor in a gray, hazy layer.
The Chaos Primordial Stone was also shrinking at an astonishing speed.
Crack, crack—
Soon, the entire Chaos Primordial Stone had shrunk by a quarter. At this moment, the very top suddenly erupted with strands of dazzling immortal light, drawing the attention of all parties.
"Something was cut out so quickly?"
Luo Dun Elder did not hesitate. The silver knife descended again. Stone powder scattered, and within it surged a brilliant golden light that blotted out the sky and covered the earth. Then, a fearsome wave of heat assailed their faces.
"So hot! What supreme treasure was cut out?"
All parties focused their gazes, filled with curiosity.
Finally, the entire Chaos Primordial Stone was split open. Within the Chaos Primordial Stone, which was the height of two people, was a piece of meteorite iron the height of one person.
Moreover, this was no ordinary meteorite iron. It was Sun Essence Iron, a top-grade divine material at the Great Power level, extremely rare and precious in the world, far more extraordinary than Starry Blue Silver.
Such a large piece of Sun Essence Iron would make even a peerless powerhouse at the Nine Tribulations Realm covet it.
"A huge piece of Sun Essence Iron, worth at least two hundred million!"
"The Chaos Primordial Stones that rushed out from the Chaos Pure Land this time are all quite good. So many supreme treasure divine materials have appeared in succession."
All parties exclaimed in amazement. They hadn't expected that after the Mystic and Yellow Essence and the Star Blue Silver Essence, such a priceless treasure would be cut open again.
The hearts that the Luo Tian Royal Clan had held up finally settled down. One by one, they burst into hearty laughter, especially Luo Yingu, who looked at Ye Chen with a sinister smile and said, "Kid, this time, even if you cut open Star Blue Silver Essence again, you will definitely lose."
"Such a large piece of Sun Essence Iron is enough for the clan's ancestor to refine an immortal ancient weapon as a clan-protecting treasure. Hahaha!"
Even Gu Jiuhua's face turned gloomy. He dared not believe that Ye Chen could still manifest a miracle and cut out an even more extraordinary Chaos supreme treasure.
Ye Chen, however, smiled at Luo Yingu, a smile that was brilliant and sunny. "Thank you for delivering such a large piece of Sun Essence Iron to me!"
