Chapter 2399: The Darkness Clan
Seeing how confident Jian Chen was and that he feared nothing, Kai Ya immediately eased up.
Indeed, Jian Chen had become even more powerful after his breakthrough, making him a peak expert on this spatial battleship. There was truly no need for him to be overly fearful here.
This was because strength was the supreme law that decided everything. Before great strength, all schemes and plans would become irrelevant.
At the same time, the most important members of the spatial battleship, the Primordial realm experts who watched over the ship, also gathered together. They sat in the air and paid close attention to everything to do with the auction.
The burly Fa Yun was among them.
“I never thought he would actually be at the Primordial realm. It’s a pity that he has purposefully masked himself, so we can’t see through his strength. Fa Yun, did you manage to find out about that?” asked one of the old men.
The burly Fa Yun, who sat there like a hill, shook his head gently. He said, “I could not figure out his strength from the simple test before. However, I feel like he’s no weaker than me.”
“In other words, this person is a Second Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime at the very least…”
“Since he’s also a Primordial realm expert, it’s probably impossible for you to buy the god artifact with a cheap price, Fa Yun…”
Fa Yun smiled mysteriously when he heard that. He said, “It’s not just me who wants the god artifact. The members of the large clans have already interfered with the entire procession secretly. They’ve controlled the auction centre through the influence of their clans. The price of the god artifact won’t be high. It’s a perfect opportunity for me. However, I might have to borrow some five-colored divine crystals from you all.”
“Yeah. No matter how low the price is, it can’t go overboard. It would not matter too much if he was just a Godking with no background, but he’s a Primordial realm expert after all…”
The protectors of the spatial battleship were clearly cautious when they faced a fellow Primordial realm expert. They did not want to offend him over something as small as a few five-colored divine crystals.
Now, the auction had formally begun. A beautiful young woman stood on the stage, hosting the auction by introducing each auctioned treasure in great detail, making the various cultivators below contend for it.
The god artifact had been designated as the core item of the auction, so it was obviously placed at the end. As a result, the items auctioned first were items that did not interest Primordial realm experts at all. They were only effective for Godhood cultivators.
However, even with that being the case, many Godhood cultivators took part in the auction. It was a bustling scene.
Jian Chen remained as calm as still water within his viewing box, sitting there and waiting patiently. He did not take part in the bids for any item because all of them had become useless to him now.
A few other viewing boxes waited in a similar manner, without participating in the bidding wars.
They had only come for one purpose, and that was for the low quality god artifact that would appear.
Finally, after three days, the auction approached its end.
“Everyone, what we will be auctioning next will be the core treasure of our auction this time, a low quality god artifact…” As the host said that, the entire auction centre immediately fell quiet. At that moment, everyone held their breaths as burning interest filled their eyes.
“It’s said that even many Infinite Primes don’t possess a god artifact, which is more than enough to show just how precious a god artifact is. Its price can even be described as inestimatable. It is truly an invaluable treasure…” said the host excitedly from the stage. Her pleasant, chime-like voice was infectious, making all the Godhood cultivators feel their blood flow faster.
“This god artifact can only be bid on with five-colored divine crystals. Due to god artifacts being far too precious, setting a reserve price would be sullying their fame. As a result, the auction for this god artifact will be slightly different from the other items. There will be no reserve price. Only like this can it truly be regarded as a priceless treasure. We won’t dirty the name of god artifacts…”
“What? They only accept five-colored divine crystals? Where are we supposed to find five-colored divine crystals…”
“This is far too unfair. Why is it restricted to five-colored divine crystals? Can’t we use supreme grade divine crystals?”
…
With that, an uproar immediately broke out in the auction centre. Not all the cultivators had contacted Jian Chen, so they obviously had no idea that only five-colored divine crystal would be accepted as bids. Now that they had suddenly heard this, the cultivators who had prepared a large quantity of supreme grade divine crystals and heavenly resources naturally struggled to accept the situation.
Jian Chen opened his eyes slowly at that moment. His face sank slightly, and a sliver of coldness flashed through his eyes. He said, “No reserve price? Doesn’t that mean that if no one bids for the god artifact, it’ll be sold for an extremely low price in the end?”
Kai Ya was also angered. She said furiously, “It must be the handiwork of those large clans. My worry is that the large clans have secretly reached an agreement with one another, sending only a single person to bid and buy the god artifact.”
“The Darkness clan from the central region of the Jadefluid Plane bids ten five-colored divine crystals…”
At this moment, a call rang out from one of the viewing boxes. It came from a young man who directly declared his background.
“The Darkness clan of the Jadefluid Plane is the last peak clan you would want to offend. I heard that the darkness bloodline that has existed since the ancient times flows through the veins of the Darkness clan. The bloodline allows them to have a natural advantage in comprehending the Laws of Darkness, making them natural kings in the dark…”
“The Darkness clan is a clan known for their assassins. They’re very powerful…”
Muffled discussions immediately started in the surroundings of the auction.
After the person from the Darkness clan had bid, no one else decided to contend.
“Ten five-colored divine crystals…” Jian Chen murmured. As expected, the large clans had reached a secret agreement to not engage in a bidding war and prevent the price from rising. In the end, they wanted to purchase the god artifact at the lowest cost possible.
Who the god artifact ended up with was not Jian Chen’s concern.
“The Darkness clan has bid ten five-colored divine crystals. Are there any higher prices? Ten five-colored divine crystals going once…” said the auction host.
“Is this priceless god artifact really going to be purchased for ten five-colored divine crystals…”
“Ten five-colored divine crystals is equivalent to ten million supreme quality divine crystals, which is ten blocks. Buying a god artifact with ten blocks of supreme quality divine crystals is ripping them off…”
“God dammit. If it weren’t for the fact that five-colored divine crystals can’t be exchanged here, I can take out several dozen of them easily, and I’ll be able to contend with the bid…”
Many Godhood experts were filled with great pity. They found pity in how cheap the god artifact was.
Originally, they thought the god artifact would be pushed up to a stunning price, but unexpectedly, someone only offered ten five-colored divine crystals. The price was not even a hundredth of its real value.
“Ten five-colored divine crystals going twice. Is there anyone else who wants to bid…” The host called out once again. Her voice was filled with powerlessness.
The Infinite Primes gathered at the top of the spatial battleship all shook their heads.
“The Darkness clan is just too vicious. This is a god artifact, yet they only offered ten five-colored divine crystals. T- that’s basically sullying the value of a god artifact…”
“The Darkness clan has indeed gone a little too far…”
The Infinite Primes all stated their thoughts.
