Chapter 1495: A Bloody Storm of Bidding
Chapter 1495: Chapter 1495: A Bloody Storm of Bidding
Lan Xuanyu calmed down at this moment and understood why the Dragon Clan would auction off this artifact. For powerful races like the Dragon Clan, the Sky Horse Clan, or even robust races like the Elder of the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan, this Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover, which can be used for transformation, isn’t very significant. True strong beings would disdain using such artifacts to assist them in transcending tribulations. Even if it could filter, without the quenching of heavenly lightning, becoming a god afterward would still result in being the weakest kind of God level strong.
However, for relatively weaker races, especially those with average talents, becoming a god is a completely different world. Not to mention, the most obvious benefit is a substantial increase in lifespan! Then there’s talk of strength enhancement and the like.
Therefore, the attraction of this artifact would surpass all previous artifacts, even stronger than the final grand item. For races that are wealthy but lack inherent racial strength, this is simply the artifact among artifacts.
It must be said, the Dragon Clan has indeed put thought into the auction of these seven artifacts, alternating good and useless ones. Based on this sequence, even the final grand item might just be useless. Yet, at this moment, bringing out this pivotal item is undoubtedly something that will cause a sensation!
The red cloth was lifted, revealing a large metallic sphere within the giant protective cover. This metal sphere has a diameter of about four meters, making it possible for most races to shrink into it. Upon seeing this size, Lan Xuanyu knew why the Dragon Clan didn’t want it.
This thing can’t be entered by Lower-rank Dragon Clan or Mid-rank Dragon Clan. He now guessed that when this artifact was initially developed, it was actually targeted at Upper-rank Dragon Clan. However, its resistance is not as strong as imagined. It can only withstand up to the Four-color elemental thunder, and facing the Heaven and Earth Tribulation is extremely difficult. Hence, for the Dragon Clan, it has become useless.
No wonder even the Dragon Clan is willing to offer such a good item, there’s indeed a lot of intricacies here!
On stage, the Star Moon Dragon Knight Li Jingyi could clearly feel the almost boiling enthusiasm below the stage. Many strong races sitting in the first row had excited gazes, but the most fervent of all were those sitting in the second row.
They all possess a certain level of strength, with some background and wealth. A god-assisting artifact to them is nothing short of a divine blessing!
Who knows how many people have the words "at all costs" in their minds right now!
This artifact is not aimed at any single race, but at many races, especially the wealthy ones.
Although the auction hasn’t started yet, Li Jingyi could already anticipate that when this item is auctioned, it will definitely be a scene of fierce carnage.
"Next, we will begin the auction for the Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover. The starting price is..." At this, Li Jingyi paused, and then a price akin to an astronomical figure emerged from her voice, "Two million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins!"
Yes, two million! Undeniably the pivotal artifact, the most expensive price. However, the price of two million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins did not dampen the enthusiasm of those desiring it in the slightest.
"Each bid increment must be no less than one hundred thousand Sky Dragon Crystal Coins, the auction begins!" Li Jingyi did not delay further and directly announced the start of the auction for this artifact.
"Three million!" The first bid immediately elevated the bidding fervor to its peak.
Bai Xiuxiu, upon hearing the auction of this artifact, lightly nudged Lan Xuanyu. If they could acquire this artifact, it would be an excellent choice for assisting their partners or for the federation! However, as soon as the starting price was announced, she knew it was over. No chance at all.
Lan Xuanyu glanced at her, keeping his expression steady, yet inside, he also felt somewhat helpless. Earlier, he thought he was quite wealthy; Zhang Chujia had suddenly given him five million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins, and he had acquired four artifacts for less than one million. Evidently showing the purchasing power of these Sky Dragon Crystal Coins. But at this moment, when this truly significant artifact appeared, his funds seemed pitifully inadequate.
These major clans finally revealed their considerable strength!
If this Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover were truly obtained, Lan Xuanyu’s greatest personal desire was actually for his foster parents to use it. With the resources he currently commanded, assisting his foster parents in cultivating to the God level was not out of the question. With this Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover, assisting them to achieve the most ordinary God level, the greatest benefit would be greatly enhancing their lifespan. God level strong, in the Douluo Federation, can live at least over five hundred years, and with proper care, even a thousand years!
Besides that, he doesn’t think this artifact assisting in cultivation to godhood is a good thing. A God level strong without having undergone honing doesn’t offer benefits beyond an extended lifespan. This artifact is naturally a good thing, it’s just not available now.
"Three hundred fifty thousand!"
"Four hundred thousand!"
"Four hundred fifty thousand!"
Bai Xiuxiu’s eyes were already wide. Within less than a minute, the price of the Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover had already shot up from the initial two million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins to four hundred fifty thousand, and seemed poised to break five hundred thousand. Moreover, there was simply no ten thousand, ten thousand increments, they were all fifty thousand, fifty thousand increments.
Almost all participants in the auction were standing up, fearing their numbered placards wouldn’t be seen by those on stage. There were indeed bids of ten thousand increments, but they were quickly drowned out by higher bids. Due to the large number of participants, the broadcaster on stage, Li Jingyi, reported sums exclusively in fifty thousand, fifty thousand increments.
"Five hundred thousand!" The five hundred thousand Sky Dragon Crystal Coin mark was broken.
At this moment, the Celestial Harmony Prime Minister once again walked out of their private box, holding their numbered placard high, "Six hundred thousand!" They directly added one hundred thousand.
Indeed, for the Celestial Harmony Clan, whose talents are relatively low but whose planet is filled with abundant life energy, this is the artifact among artifacts, most suitable for them. The eyes of the Celestial Harmony Prime Minister had turned slightly red at this point. This artifact, he was determined to acquire it no matter the cost. Having this artifact meant that every hundred years, the Celestial Harmony Clan could produce at least thirty-three God level beings! Accumulate that over a few centuries, and that’s over a hundred God level existences. Besides, as high-level officials, everyone has family, descendants. With this item, their offspring attaining godhood would be a matter of ease. Three appointments a year, the biggest beneficiaries are undoubtedly those at the top of the hierarchy!
"Seven hundred thousand!" Another high price immediately appeared. A figure with a head full of tentacles stepped out of a box, it was the Dominator of Sky!
The Dominator of Sky had personally come to attend today’s auction. Apart from having bid on the Space Source Crystal before, they had remained relatively silent, not placing many bids. Yet now, they shouted such a high price.
The appearance of these two directly added million prices reduced the number of other bidding participants noticeably.
The number of races capable of producing this many Sky Dragon Crystal Coins is indeed limited, not to mention, it’s not over yet.
The Celestial Harmony Clan possesses the largest Business Alliance, with commerce spanning the entire Galaxy. They are absolute magnates. And the Sky Domination Clan, in truth, is not far behind. Although they have now lost the production of Space Source Crystals and are without Void Bugs. However, how many years has the Sky Domination Clan existed? With the help of Space Source Crystals produced by Void Bugs, they have continuously evolved and enhanced their powers, while also amassing wealth.
The expensive Space Source Crystals have provided them with immense wealth. Their accumulated wealth and strong financial power rank among the top in the entire Dragon Horse Federation.
And the Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover holds a unique significance for the Sky Domination Clan as well! The Sky Domination Clan now lacks Void Bugs, and Space Source Crystals can only be gathered existing ones, but no matter how it’s spun, this is a self-depleting resource. Without Space Source Crystals, their evolution and ascension to godhood would become far more challenging than before. Yet, this Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover clearly represents a shortcut for them to transcend tribulations into godhood. Hence, upon seeing this artifact, the Sky Domination Clan had the firm resolve to acquire it.
