NOVEL NEXT Chapter 989: Immortal Golden Body
"Don't be upset, it's fair competition. We simply don't have the financial resources of others, and that's just how it is," Su Qin consoled her daughter. "Besides, your godmother is right; having this item would not be good for you. It's better to keep a low profile overseas. Next, we should focus all of our energy on the martial arts tournament for seeking spouses. That's what's truly important."
"Mm." Pretty Girl, though still frowning, had calmed down somewhat. She raised her hand to touch her ear. At times like these, she truly wanted to contact Tang San! She wanted to ask him what she should do, but with so many emperors present and at such a critical moment of the auction, she refrained from attempting contact to avoid trouble.
"Alright. After three days of enthusiastic bidding, our super auction is nearing its final climax. First of all, on behalf of the Ancestral Court, I would like to thank every bidder who participated in this auction. Next, the final item that will be presented is also the ultimate highlight of this super auction. I believe everyone is guessing what sort of existence it could be to be placed as the final highlight of the bidding. Well then, please wait and see. Now, present the final auction item."
As the words of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox were spoken, everyone's attention was instantly captivated. The final auction item was about to make its entrance. In such a legendary super auction of unprecedented scale, what could the final highlight possibly be?
A golden-red figure descended from the sky and landed beside the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. This person was dressed in a dark red cloak, and the light surrounding them was warped like ripples of water. Anyone who had seen this figure knew their identity. It was the Eternal Heaven Burning Undying Great Demon Emperor.
After the Undying Great Demon Emperor took the stage, he nodded to the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox.
Could it be that the final auction item will be jointly presented by two emperors?
The Heavenly Fox Great Demon Emperor made a welcoming gesture and said, "The final auction item is provided by the lineage of the Undying Fire Phoenix. Therefore, I've invited the Undying Great Demon Emperor to join me in the auction."
The Undying Great Demon Emperor nodded and said, "This is a special divine tool. After much consideration, I have finally decided to let it be part of this super auction. As everyone knows, divine tools have levels, and the divine tool you will see next can be said to be one of the most powerful known on Falan Planet to date."
As he spoke, a golden-red light slowly rose between him and the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. As the golden-red light ascended, a blaze of heat gradually blossomed.
It was a golden-red bead, about the size of a fist. The bead shimmered with golden-red light, and faintly flickering shadows could be seen upon it. Upon closer inspection, one could discern the shapes of a phoenix and dragon.
The Undying Great Demon Emperor said solemnly, "This divine tool was originally forged by two emperors. One of them was my father, the previous Undying Great Demon Emperor. The other was the fiery dragon of the Dragon Clan, known as the strongest Fire Dragon Clan in history, even earlier than the Crystal Great Demon Emperor. He and my father were close friends. They once secluded themselves to study the true essence of fire elements, and later, combining the abilities and characteristics of both clans, they crafted this divine tool. Both emperors spent a hundred years nurturing it. However, there was a problem at the moment of completion. Perhaps the effects of the 'Dragon and Phoenix Harmony' were too potent, allowing the divine tool to undergo a great sublimation. Or it might be the case of 'extremes meet', where the extreme fire attribute energy exploded, eventually causing a rejection of the fire attribute, making it unusable for both our clans. In contrast, the more harmonious the power, the easier it is to control this divine tool. Its name is Immortal Golden Body."
"This divine tool cannot recognize a master, which means that it can be used by whoever possesses it. It is activated at the cost of sacrificing one's life force. Each activation produces an Absolute Defense effect. At the very least, the level of defense is currently known to be unbreakable within this realm. As long as the life force burns, its defense can render the user undying and invincible. And should the life force burn out, it can enable the user to be reborn from fire, to start anew. However, the rebirth ability can only be used once. Each life has only one chance. But it can still be passed on to another life, and they too can use the rebirth ability. It can be said to be the divine tool amongst divine tools, truly a powerful existence. If one attempts to use the rebirth ability consecutively, the soul will burn, risking annihilation of both physical and spiritual form. Meanwhile, the Immortal Golden Body can also immunize all negative effects during use, thus its defense can be described as Absolute Defense. With it in hand, even if all the emperors present here attacked together, as long as the life force remains burning, one can remain undying and invincible."
This item was not something that could be compared with the Substitute Lotus Seed. It could defend against all the emperors' attacks, essentially entering a state of invincibility. In battle, if one's opponent unleashed their most formidable attack, activation of the Immortal Golden Body for a moment would instantly nullify that effort.
Top-tier divine tool, this is truly a top-tier divine tool that can change the battlefield!
Seeing this divine tool, Tang San even felt a bit surprised; why didn't the Undying Great Demon Emperor even lend it to Pretty Girl for use? And furthermore, for a divine tool of such caliber, why would the Undying Fire Phoenix clan be willing to auction it off? There must be some problem with it.
"We will now begin the bidding, with the starting price at 100,000 Purple Crystal Coins, with each increment no less than 5,000 Purple Crystal Coins," declared the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox as he announced the auction price. Without a doubt, the Immortal Golden Body would become the focus of the entire event today.
Tang San hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to make a bid. Although he was unclear about what issues might be hidden within the Immortal Golden Body, he was certain that there must be some sort of problem. However, he had participated in nearly all the precious items auctioned earlier, and it would be too conspicuous not to participate in the final one.
So, although he didn't intend to win the bid, he still made his offer promptly, in his usual style!
"150,000 Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.8." A direct raise of 50,000.
The two emperors on stage simultaneously turned their gaze towards the direction of VIP Room No.8. Still got money? After spending so much, the Blue Golden Tree Clan could still make a high bid of 150,000? Undoubtedly, through this super auction, the Blue Golden Tree Clan has become the wealthiest among all the chief cities today, and that was truly well-deserved.
"155,000 Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.1."
"160,000 Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.2."
The bidding escalated rapidly. As the last item, and an exceptionally powerful divine tool that could be used in the future battles for supremacy, it immediately became highly sought after.
Such top-tier divine tools were rare throughout the entire Demon Monster Continent, almost all being treasures of their respective clans, and it was already incredibly unbelievable for them to be auctioned off.
However, the value under Tang San's immediate 50,000 increase also shot up too high, and although there was competition, the frequency of the bids was not high.
When the price reached 190,000 Purple Crystal Coins, there was a stagnation. Tang San did not continue bidding after his initial offer of 150,000, seeming somewhat irresolute.
"Patriarch, we must acquire this item! This will provide a great assurance for your life safety, it seems even more effective than the Phoenix Nirvana of the Phoenix Demon Clan. Let's get it at all costs. Isn't it just about burning life force? What we lack the least is Life Force," the Great Elder said to Tang San somewhat anxiously. This Immortal Golden Body looked like a truly good thing!
