Chapter 960: Shadow Demon Sword
The appearance of this Ink Sword caused Tang San's heart to tremble slightly. That trembling was not coming from his own divine consciousness, but from the projection of the Asura God's Sword within his divine consciousness.
Although the sword intent of the Asura God's Sword was with Pretty Girl, Tang San was also somehow affected. Divine tool calling upon divine tool?
Tang San was even somewhat shocked. This kind of feeling was the first to occur since he came to this world.
Back then, even in the Divine Realm, this situation was extremely rare.
Divine tool calling upon divine tool, what did this mean? Others might not know, but as the once First-Generation God King, he was extremely clear about it.
First and foremost, it meant a resonance between the two divine tools, and secondly, it signified that they were of the same level.
A super divine weapon? Could this Ink Sword actually be a super divine weapon?
Amidst his shock, on the other side, Pretty Girl in VIP Room Number Eleven had even stood up.
Her shock was far greater than Tang San's because the Asura God's Sword was now presiding over the central part of her divine consciousness, so her sensations were definitely much deeper than Tang San's!
Hence, when Tang San felt it, she naturally did as well. Even in the sea of her divine consciousness, the Asura God's Sword emitted a humming sound. Although Pretty Girl didn't understand what this meant, she was certain that she had to acquire this Ink Sword at all costs.
Related to the Asura God's Sword, a super divine weapon, it even conveyed a longing emotion to her. How could she let this Ink Sword pass by?
On the auction stage, the voice of the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor rang out, "Shadow Demon Sword. Artifact level. The heritage divine tool of the Shadow Demon Clan. Everyone should know about the Shadow Demon Clan, a race that almost nobody likes. Recently, they have also been seen in the Ancestral Court. Many cases of theft are related to them. This Shadow Demon Sword was boldly stolen by the Shadow Demon Clan and ended up on an Emperor. In the end, the patriarch of that generation of the Shadow Demon Clan was killed by that Emperor, leaving this artifact-level Shadow Demon Sword in the Ancestral Court. In this mega auction, the Ancestral Court has decided to put it out for bidding."
"The functions of this artifact are numerous, for instance, it can hide its owner's form, achieving an effect close to invisibility. It is most suitable for use during assassination. Not only is it sharp, it also has an effect that binds divine consciousness. It carries a strong killing power against divine consciousness. Even that Emperor was nearly at a loss. However, this artifact itself is extremely domineering; it is easy to injure its user during use. Without sufficient suppressive power, don't attempt to use it. At least a practitioner of Great Demon King level or above with a strong defensive power can handle this artifact. The bidding starts now, with a starting price of 2000 Purple Crystal Coins, and each bid must be at least 100 higher."
The introduction was simple and didn't have too much embellishment. But the miraculous aspects of this Ink Sword were basically listed. However, when the actual bidding began, the entire venue fell into a brief silence.
Without a doubt, a weapon of miraculous level would definitely attract many bidders. But this Shadow Demon Sword was different.
Firstly, the biggest issue was that it was the tribal artifact of the Shadow Demon Clan. It was natural for such an artifact to be kept by the Ancestral Court, and not even the daring Shadow Demon Clan would attempt to steal it from there. In fact, they had tried, but had never succeeded. After losing many of their best, they ultimately failed.
Secondly, although the functions of this artifact were great and it could damage divine consciousness and render someone invisible, these were strong capabilities, but the problem was it could injure its owner, which was troublesome. The Mammoth Great Demon Emperor didn't specify clearly, but the fact that such a level of artifact had always been kept in the Ancestral Court without being chosen by any Emperor already said a lot.
The Mammoth Great Demon Emperor was quite honest; he made it clear that not even a Great Demon King might be able to control this artifact.
Such an existence, once in hand, would be a hot potato. Moreover, there weren't many in the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan adept with the sword.
"2100 Purple Crystal Coins, Room Six," a bid came from the VIP room of the Behemoth Clan.
Having heard Jingjing's introduction to Lan Moqian earlier, Tang San naturally understood for whom the bid was. Lan Moqian wanted this Shadow Demon Sword.
Clearly, the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor had spoken within the capabilities of Lan Moqian—the Behemoth Clan's formidable physique and Great Demon King Level strength, both of which it possessed, along with a sufficiently strong bloodline.
However, if there was one item among all the auctioned goods that Tang San was determined to get, it was undoubtedly the one right before him. He had to acquire the Shadow Demon Sword for Pretty Girl, capable of invoking the Asura God's Sword, although it didn't seem to be a super divine weapon, so that he could study it thoroughly.
Before he could make his move, Pretty Girl had already started to participate in the bidding herself, "Two thousand two hundred Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room Number Eleven."
"Two thousand three hundred Purple Crystal Coins, Room Six," the Behemoth Clan raised the bid again.
"Two thousand four hundred Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room Number Eleven," Pretty Girl showed no weakness. This was her first bid of the day. With Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce as her backing, Jiali City surely held immense wealth.
Since Pretty Girl had bid, Tang San would not join in.
For this divine tool, no other bidders came forward to offer a price, after all, not just anyone could wield the Shadow Demon Sword.
The two sides continued to escalate their bids, and soon, the price of the Shadow Demon Sword had surpassed three thousand Purple Crystal Coins.
Even the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor on the stage was somewhat surprised; in his opinion, the Shadow Demon Sword was worth at most two thousand Purple Crystal Coins, and it might even go unsold if not for a major auction like this one. Yet, to his astonishment, it had sparked a bidding war. This was getting interesting. Three thousand, Ancestral Court was satisfied, and it seemed like the bidding was set to continue.
"Three thousand three hundred Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room Number Eleven," Pretty Girl raised the bid again.
"Three thousand four hundred Purple Crystal Coins, Room Six," Lan Moqian was unyielding. Sky-breaking City was equally wealthy. The Behemoth Clan, being revered as one of the three mightiest Monsters of the current age, with their existence tracing back to ancient times, certainly had profound resources.
"Three thousand six hundred Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room Number Eleven," Pretty Girl started to increase the bid in leaps. For Jiali City, the amount was quite significant.
"Three thousand seven hundred Purple Crystal Coins, Room Six," Lan Moqian matched the raise with no intention of conceding, clearly determined to secure the sword.
"Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.8." Just then, a sudden bid shocked everyone in attendance.
Before this item, only the Blue Gold Fruit had reached a bid of five thousand Purple Crystal Coins, and now, that bid had come from Tang San.
The entire room erupted in surprise.
Money talks, indeed money talks! Everyone knew the Blue Golden Tree Clan was wealthy, especially after having just earned twenty-five thousand! To bid so generously and promptly. Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins was unquestionably a vast sum for any Race.
At the same time, Tang San's voice was heard from VIP Room No.8, "City Lord Mei, please do not continue bidding. After I win this item, I'll gift it to you as a welcoming present."
Inside VIP Room Number Eleven, when Pretty Girl heard the five thousand bid from VIP Room No.8, she felt a moment of darkness before her eyes. But Tang San's next statement left her stunned.
Five thousand Purple Crystal Coins as a greeting gift? Recalling the lingering gaze from before, her complexion suddenly turned a shade paler.
"The Blue Golden Tree Clan might not be the mightiest, but they sure are wealthy and self-willed! Just let him have it," the princess chuckled.
"No," Pretty Girl shook her head vigorously, "I can't just accept things from others so casually."
