Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf
Chapter 2059 - 1143: The Auction Begins
As the auction approaches, it didn’t take long for the Trading City to be filled with all kinds of exotic beasts and figures both inside and out.
This forced the Left Protector stationed here to activate the expansion state of the Star Core Trading City, further expanding the outer defense array.
However, even so, the number of exotic beasts and species that came this time was still too many,
with nearly tens of millions being mere half-step Heavenly Venerates.
As for the exotic beasts of the Heavenly Realm, they were simply uncountable.
Even within the arena, there were over a hundred thousand VIPs,
with almost every VIP accompanied by a dozen to several dozen followers, making even the inner area quite crowded.
Despite the high price of the auction rooms, they were still sold out.
Only the most esteemed Eight Major Factions remained standing.
On the eve of the auction, seven of the eight major factions were illuminated.
This represented that the Black Sun Clan, "Unspeakable", Entropy Prison System, Dark Erosion Holy Hall, Undead Holy Sect, Jinhuang System, Silver Celestial Dragon, and Heavenly Forbidden Mountain—all eight forces—had seven in attendance.
They might not be strictly the top eight forces, but they are undoubtedly the most powerful and representative.
With seven out of eight in attendance, a galactic river adorned with many planets descended at the center of the auction’s inner area!
Each star, when closely examined, felt vast and majestic.
Because this was forged using the galaxy within the body of an ancient Heavenly Realm strongest.
This scene directly shocked many exotic beasts!
Even Su Lin felt the fury and trembling of the Ancient Heavenly Realm True Intent within him.
Following this beautiful galactic river, a gigantic compass appeared in the middle.
This compass was much more exquisite and powerful than the one of the Sun Empress, with Heavenly Mechanism lines etched upon it.
These lines can detect the heavenly mechanism and test the grade level of all auction items.
This counts as another authoritative verification for bidders.
The Heavenly Destiny Clan, upright and honorable!
No matter what they do, it carries a sense of righteousness!
This is why, despite the Heavenly Destiny Clan not competing or fighting, and having only over 30 trillion troops, they almost were proposed to become the leader of the Blazing Nebula.
It’s just that the Heavenly Destiny Clan really has no interest in leading the development of any star cloud!
With the appearance of this gigantic compass, some knowledgeable exotic beasts began whispering among themselves.
"This is the Heavenly Derivation Star Plate, which can compute the trajectories of stars across the heavens and verify the authenticity of many exotic beasts; using it to verify auction items’ grade levels is simply overkill!"
"This shows immense wealth; among taboo heavy weapons, the Heavenly Derivation Star Plate is among the best. It goes to show how deep the foundations of the Heavenly Destiny Clan are!"
......
Amid these whispers, the Heavenly Destiny Clan’s Left Protector soon appeared at the very center of the compass. Without much introduction, the sound accompanying a light tremor from the compass beneath his feet resonated, capable of shaking and cleansing the hearts of all species.
Soon this sound spread throughout the Star Core Trading City, making the previously noisy Star Core Trading City suddenly quiet!
All species looked toward the place where the sound originated.
Soon after,
at the very center of the auction arena, a grand light image rose up, able to broadcast the details of the auction live,
all who came to the Star Core Trading City could watch.
Even those with sufficient financial strength could participate in the auction from outside.
"Thank you to all distinguished guests for visiting the Star Core Trading City; the Heavenly Destiny Clan is greatly honored. Today, I am acting on behalf of the Deputy Clan Leader to preside over this auction and all matters of the Trading City!"
Simultaneously, the Spiritual Will of the Heavenly Destiny Clan’s Left Protector resounded.
"In today’s auction, let me state in advance that all causes, effects, grudges of the auction items must be borne by the buyers. Furthermore, no credit will be extended for auction items, and pre-qualification is necessary. We hope everyone can understand; now, let’s not waste everyone’s time. The Star Core Auction of this Blazing Nebula Era officially begins!"
After the Spiritual Will of the Heavenly Destiny Clan’s Left Protector settled, the heavenly derivation star plate above the venue gently floated up with a hundred auction items.
In an auction with millions at stake, the early items are often auctioned in tens or hundreds.
However, this first round of items immediately incited competition among many half-step Heavenly Venerates and Heavenly Venerate Level strong individuals.
Because this first round of auction items was the most common yet most effective elixir for those in the Heavenly Realm.
Heavenly Realm Blood Pill!
One hundred in a batch, alone the first round of auction items amounted to tens of thousands of Heavenly Realm Blood Pills.
The price of Heavenly Realm Blood Pills ultimately wasn’t driven beyond market value,
because species entering the auction’s inner arena weren’t particularly eager for Heavenly Realm Blood Pills.
And following the Heavenly Realm Blood Pills, successive auction items also emerged.
Early auction items weren’t considered precious, but they were all hard currency.
Excluding Heavenly Realm Blood Pills, Secret Pills, Treasure Pills, and various rare potions, there were also various mystic bones, flesh, and essence parts, etc.
Among them were those of Peak Heavenly Venerates and even Peak Heavenly Venerates.
One of the early auction peaks was a mystic bone soon to transform into a soul bone.
This was from a scattered Peak Heavenly Venerate.
Unfortunately, he secretly incited some local forces of the central Star Core to rebel against the Heavenly Destiny Clan!
This made the Heavenly Destiny Clan find it somewhat amusing.
But eventually, they dispatched tens of thousands of the Heavenly Destiny Army to suppress him, eradicating all incited forces and exotic beasts to the root.
Nowadays, everything of this fragmented Peak Heavenly Venerate has become a trivial auction item in this auction.
Besides the Mystic Bones, even the flesh, soul spirit, origin, and mark have become a small climax in the early stage.
After all, everything of a Peak Heavenly Venerate is still needed by various species.
Because whether it’s the Star Core or the border areas, a Peak Heavenly Venerate is ultimately an influential figure.
Even in the entire Blazing Nebula’s top-level auction, a Peak Heavenly Venerate is a highly respected existence.
In the end, the resources from the Peak Heavenly Venerate sold for a total of several billion resources!
Next,
During the ongoing auctions, Su Lin and his group also purchased some resources.
Among them were Star Energy Weapon Diagrams.
Such as simple Star Energy Cannons, Star Energy Mechanical Beast Groups, and so on!
These simple Star Energy weapons are of average power and can at most injure a Second or Third Heaven Exotic Beast, so their prices are not high.
Su Lin spent a total of several billion Blood Stones to buy them all.
Currently, the Wolf Pack Civilization’s scientific research line is a significant weakness.
Star Energy weapons are consumables, and a single war can deplete many!
Previously, Star Sky Mother Ships and similar Star Energy weapons purchased by Su Lin were almost 80% scrapped, leaving only well-maintained Star Energy Mechas usable.
Therefore, if this weakness cannot be compensated, solely relying on resource purchases, the Star Energy weapon aspect is a bottomless pit, devouring an unknown amount of resources from the Wolf Pack Civilization.
After purchasing these,
The Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly also bought a thousand Extinction Arrows, as their Falling Star Bow, after integrating many crossbow-type heavy artifacts, has reached the quasi-taboo heavy artifact level.
Thus, the Extinction Arrows greatly enhance their power.
These Extinction Arrows are expensive, but in this top-level auction, they can only serve as early-stage items.
The Sand Fox acquired a Tong Xin Realm!
This is a Peak High Heaven Realm Heavy Weapon!
They control the Shadow Army Group, often fearing true betrayal from their undercover agents.
And the Tong Xin Realm directly assesses the loyalty of undercover agents without resorting to the cruel method of Soul Search.
At this early stage of sporadic auctions, none of the eight great pavilions have participated in any bids.
Because such low-value hard goods, they possess in abundance.
Their purpose for coming this time is evident.
Next,
In this manner of auction, time quietly slips away.
Su Lin devoted part of his focus to the auction, while the majority of his attention was again on the fusion ritual of the heavy artifact.
Because the ritual of the heavy artifact had reached its most critical point, gradually revealing its form.
It was a blood-red military flag with a killing aura, even resembling the appearance of the former main army group of the Blazing Flame Clan.
However, it lacked the vast and sea-like fortune and power of destiny capable of upheaving the sun, moon, and stars.
Additionally, this blood-red military flag was faintly etched and depicted with images like the former Inferno Heavenslayer and Blazing Flame Sword.
Thus, witnessing the fruition of efforts across millions of years, Su Lin naturally devoted most of his focus and attention here.
Boom!
Even during the ritual fusion, there were bursts of terrifying energy fluctuations, causing Su Lin to immediately deploy a great isolation array, cutting off all energy fluctuations.
Such isolation arrays are common in top-level auctions, so they did not cause any disturbance.
And it was during this ritual fusion, in the pavilion belonging to Heavenly Forbidden Mountain, a figure seemed to sense something.
Their brows slightly furrowed, a wisp of aura fluctuated, then the Left Protector stationed here let a doppelganger drift over.
"Mountain Master, is there something you require?"
This Left Protector, holding a high position in the Heavenly Destiny Clan, had no sense of superiority in front of this esteemed presence.
Not even daring to display the slightest host’s aura.
After all, this presence before them was among the few standing at the pinnacle of the Blazing Nebula.
Even the Deputy Clan Leader of the Heavenly Destiny Clan had to show respect.
Especially since Heavenly Forbidden Mountain’s surrender of the Blazing Flame Royal Family’s former fortune and destiny forged a short-lived honeymoon period with the Heavenly Destiny Clan.
After all, surrendering fortune and destiny meant the Blazing Flame Royal Family could never rise again.
The words ’cause and effect’ are simple to say, but once burdened with them, no one can resist.
The countless cause and effect beyond the Star Sky Barrier are the fundamental reasons why the Starry Sky Will can suppress countless taboo existences and transcendent powers.
"Does this auction have top-level heavy artifacts of the Blazing Flame Clan?"
This Mountain Master of Heavenly Forbidden Mountain appeared youthful, exuding the aura of young and vibrant spirit, and was even humanoid.
But reaching such a cultivation insight layer as theirs, even any general Heavenly Realm powerhouse can take on various forms.
Thus, the Left Protector was not at all surprised and simply replied smoothly, "The Mountain Master’s calculations and sensations truly encompass everything, this place has two of the Blazing Flame Clan’s former taboo heavy artifacts, though one is half-destroyed, and the other has a damaged artifact spirit!"
This made the Mountain Master of Heavenly Forbidden Mountain nod slightly, but the clouds of worry in his brow remained.
Because what he sensed was not the cause and effect of a damaged taboo heavy artifact, but rather the cause and effect of a truly perfect and still peak taboo heavy artifact!
....
