Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2038 - 2020: Immortal Weapon Breaking Heaven

Chapter 2038: Chapter 2020: Immortal Weapon Breaking Heaven

At this moment, Fang Yan and Li Xing were not paying attention to the Nine-Tailed Fox in front of them; their focus was on the auction. The fifth-to-last auction item was a defensive supreme-grade Dharma Treasure, which wasn’t very useful for either of them, so they were interested in what the fourth-to-last Dharma Treasure would be.

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the auction for the defensive Dharma Treasure had ended, and it was time for the fourth-to-last item. Under the expectant gazes of the audience, a staff member walked onto the stage carrying a tray, but this time Wang Fu did not immediately unveil the red cloth. Instead, he smiled at the crowd and said, "This item was originally meant to be the finale of this auction, but the appearance of the liquefied spiritual essence has overshadowed it. However, by nature, it is still a top-grade item!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Fu suddenly pulled off the red cloth, revealing the item on the tray. To everyone’s surprise, the final auction item was a knife, or rather a dagger, but what set it apart was its entirely golden body, radiating dazzling golden light, with faint traces of special silver-white formations visible on the blade!

This... this is!

It’s actually... actually an Immortal Artifact!

This thing is simply...

...

Everyone at the auction was stunned. No one expected that the fourth-to-last auction item would be an Immortal Artifact. The brilliant golden light and those special formation traces outshone even the supreme Dharma Treasures. The only explanation was that this knife was something beyond ordinary Dharma Treasures, a genuine Immortal Artifact!

Looking at this peculiar Immortal Artifact, everyone was filled with shock, and many gasped. An Immortal Artifact was the most top-tier equipment on the Wantian Continent, with likely fewer than five pieces across the entire continent. And here it was, appearing at an auction. How could they not be astonished and shocked!

"It...it..."

When Li Xing saw this Immortal Artifact, his eyes shone with greed. He had explored over a dozen ruins and never encountered an Immortal Artifact, so he was genuinely excited at this moment. Moreover, the most important thing was that he liked this Immortal Artifact. The first moment he saw it, he wanted it for himself.

"If Senior Brother wants it, just bid on it." Fang Yan smiled as he looked at Li Xing, speaking lightly. In his eyes, this Immortal Artifact was indeed extraordinary, and he knew that Li Xing currently didn’t have any suitable weapons. Since they encountered it, and his senior brother liked it, it was perfectly fine to gift it to him to enhance his strength.

"Then I won’t be polite!" Li Xing replied directly to Fang Yan without even considering being modest; the allure of this Immortal Artifact was just too great for him. He had no resistance left...

On the auction stage...

"Everyone has seen it, this is a genuine Immortal Artifact, and I can also inform you about its origin. This was obtained by the consignor from the estate of the Rift Sky Sword Saint in the ancient ruins. Its name is Rift Sky. Since the consignor’s physical condition was not suitable for inheritance, they only took this Immortal Artifact from the estate. The starting price for this Rift Sky is ten million spirit stones, with each bid increasing by one million spirit stones!" Wang Fu smiled as he explained the origin of Rift Sky to the crowd. He was confident that this piece would surpass previous auction prices; this was a genuine Immortal Artifact, an irresistible temptation for anyone.

"Fifteen million spirit stones!"

"Twenty million spirit stones!"

"Twenty-one million spirit stones!"

...

As soon as Wang Fu finished speaking, there was no need for him to say anything more; the auction price of Rift Sky soared rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it exceeded thirty million spirit stones, showing just how mad these sects were. This was an Immortal Artifact, after all, something that hadn’t appeared in hundreds or thousands of years. How could they not go crazy!

Li Xing watched the auction price soar to a terrifying level, wanting to open his mouth to participate in the bidding, but he couldn’t. All the spirit stones belonged to Fang Yan. Even if he had some, it was only a few million spirit stones. Yet he was truly unwilling to give up, looking at Rift Sky with eyes full of greed.

Fang Yan naturally observed this scene, knowing what Li Xing was thinking and also aware of his concerns. Shaking his head with a smile, he placed his hand on the board and calmly said: "Fifty million spirit stones!"

This price wasn’t set randomly by Fang Yan. After prior calculations, he knew the price of this Immortal Artifact would definitely be inflated, but the fifty million spirit stone markup should suffice to deter a majority. If there were further bids, it would only be a small number of people, and these people intended to bid on the liquefied spiritual essence. Competing with him for a bid would likely mean losing the chance at the liquefied spiritual essence. So setting such a price at this time would definitely make those waiting to bid on the liquefied spiritual essence exclaim in shock.

"Fifty million spirit stones!"

"This is insane!"

"What’s going on, how can he come up with fifty million?"

...

Everyone in the auction house turned their eyes to VIP Room Number Nine, truly infuriated at Fang Yan. He had already bought so many treasures, yet this time, the bid was even higher. Just who was this person, how could he still bid!

The crowd was almost driven to madness, wondering who on earth was in VIP Room Number Nine, how could they have such resources? They had already spent tens of millions of spirit stones, and now they were bidding another fifty million spirit stones. Altogether, this exceeded a hundred million spirit stones. Even if those in VIP Room Number Nine were from the Myriad Heavens Sect, they couldn’t possibly gather so many spirit stones!

Not only them, even the three elders from the Myriad Heavens Sect were stunned by this price. They never expected that those in VIP Room Number Nine would bid and at such an exaggerated amount, directly increasing the bid by more than ten million spirit stones. This wasn’t an auction anymore; it was using spirit stones to crush people!

The third elder’s face was extremely unpleasant. He gritted his teeth and gave up on the auction. He still had spirit stones but didn’t want to take the risk. His target was the last liquefied spiritual essence. As for the Immortal Artifact, it didn’t matter if Fang Yan won it; anyway, he already decided to reclaim everything Fang Yan bid for! Thinking of this, the third elder picked up the Communication Spirit Stone...

"Fifty million, going once!"

"Fifty million, going twice!"

"Fifty million, going three times!"

Amidst the silence, Wang Fu called out the price three times, but still, no one made another offer. In the end, helplessly, he had to drop the hammer: "Sold!"

Wang Fu had also realized that the mysterious person in VIP Room Number Nine was determined to get this Immortal Artifact, and the fifty million spirit stones offered were indeed a jaw-droppingly high price. In the entire auction house, there were only a few forces capable of producing so many spirit stones, especially with previous bidding deterrents. He couldn’t fathom where the person in VIP Room Number Nine got so many spirit stones...

The Immortal Artifact was delivered to VIP Room Number Nine, where Li Xing was overjoyed holding it. With the help of this Immortal Artifact, he would have the power to confront even an Earth Immortal Realm peak ancestor, an exhilarating prospect!

However, he immediately recalled an issue; there was still a significant shortfall. This Immortal Artifact cost fifty million spirit stones, and with the ’Fox Spirit’ taking three million, the mysterious black stone one and a half million, the mysterious egg one and a half million, and a pile of materials exceeding thirty million, they had spent over 130 million spirit stones in total, while they had only auctioned about sixty million spirit stones. There was a gap of nearly seventy million spirit stones!

"Fang Yan, we’re short by seventy million spirit stones...if I had known, I wouldn’t have bid for this Immortal Artifact..." Just a moment ago, enjoying the excitement, he hadn’t thought about this, but reflecting now, he truly regretted it. Seventy million spirit stones, and with only three sets of Heavenly Origin Treasure Box essences remaining, how could it possibly reach seventy million spirit stones...

Hearing Li Xing’s words, Fang Yan laughed and said, "Senior Brother, you are overlooking something. What is this place? It’s the Wantian Continent’s auction house. Even if those three sets of Heavenly Origin Treasure Boxes don’t yield much, so what? I have plenty of items here to offset. Besides, who knows what those three sets of Heavenly Origin Treasure Boxes will fetch!"

Fang Yan wasn’t worried in the slightest about these things. If anything, there were still many Heavenly Grade Elixirs in the space ring, which the auction house would gladly take at a discount. So the spirit stones were no problem at all. Moreover, in no time, the larger group would arrive, and then he and Li Xing could just rob the auction house—all would be settled!

"You... you’re too wicked!" Li Xing, reminded by Fang Yan, instantly understood the intent. Indeed, if this plan worked out, he’d have no burden. His face was filled with excitement; the first auction house of the Wantian Continent should have a lot of good stuff in stock, right? With Fang Yan and the others fighting upfront, he could discreetly... Thinking about this, Li Xing’s eyes began to gleam.

"Hehe..." Not only Li Xing, even the Thousand-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox covered her mouth and laughed at this moment. Having lived for over a thousand years, she certainly understood the meaning behind Fang Yan’s words. Still, she found it quite amusing and pondered if she could also take the opportunity to grab some good ’Dongxi.’ After all, her belongings had been taken...

"Unmentionable, unmentionable!" Fang Yan smiled, shaking his head, then turned his gaze back to the auction site...

By now, the auction of the Heavenly Origin Treasure Boxes had begun, and facing the essence in the boxes, sects with strong financial power had gone utterly mad. This temptation was irresistible for any cultivator, let alone a sect!
