Chen Tian's body trembled as he looked at the Demon Sword Blood Luo in the center of the auction hall. He felt a terrifying blood fiend energy emanating from it. As he gazed at the sword, Qing Xue said faintly, "Next, we will look at the origin and footage of the Demon Sword Blood Luo."
"I have always been alone, without great power, scorned and looked down upon, enduring endless humiliation. I vowed to break free from this situation, but I know myself well. I am an oddity, devoid of any combat ability. I desired immense power, so I traversed countless mountains and rivers to reach the Demon Castle. Here lies the power I craved. I want those who disdained me and bullied me to understand that they will face the retribution they deserve."
"The City of Demons, this is the castle of demons, inhabited by all sorts of demon spirits. Upon entering, I sought a way to become stronger. One day, I will become strong. After countless trials and tribulations, I ultimately became a sword, a demon sword. I maintained my will and slumbered within the sword. The moment I transformed into a demon sword, all the demon spirits in the City of Demons submitted to me. When I awaken again, it will be time for my revenge."
"Finally, time flew by. I was drawn out and held in someone's hand. The entire world was shrouded in darkness. The one who wielded the sword hated this world to the core, wishing to plunge it into eternal night. I fulfilled his desire and plunged the world into darkness."
The footage ended here, and the information about the Demon Sword Blood Luo appeared on screen for everyone to see.
Demon Sword Blood Luo
Quality: Radiant Void Grade One Hundred Stars
Attributes: Strength +2000 Yuan Points, Speed +2500 Yuan Points, Damage Amplification 20%, Physical Damage Increase 50%
Abilities: Self-repair, Blood Fiend Energy
Trait: Feeds on blood to enhance its own power
Requirement: Usable by all classes
Note: Equip users of this demon sword will fall into madness, use with caution!
This weapon's effects were even stronger than the previous Holy Sword. The self-repair ability meant there was no need to worry about damage, and the Blood Fiend Energy ability could boost a player's combat power by a full fifty percent. The trait of feeding on blood increased the player's overall strength, while the physical damage increase and amplified damage were truly heaven-defying.
Physical damage referred to normal attacks, while damage amplification was a comprehensive increase in all damage, including skill damage.
"What is the price? I want it, I must have this weapon."
"The bidding price for this weapon starts at five hundred Time Coins, with increments of no less than one hundred Time Coins."
After seeing the attributes of the Demon Sword Blood Luo, the private rooms that had remained silent previously began to bid fiercely for this weapon. Chen Tian felt something was wrong. The weapon exuded an ominous aura. Chen Tian's eyes glowed, widening as if he had seen something he shouldn't have.
Chen Tian's voice, amplified by his power, echoed throughout the auction hall: "This sword absolutely cannot be auctioned!"
This shout brought the auction hall to a complete silence. Chen Tian's outburst infuriated Qing Xue; this was a golden opportunity to make money!
"Esteemed guest, the purpose of an auction is to auction various items. Now that the Demon Sword has been presented, are we to simply return it? Our Linglong Auction House has no such rules."
"I don't care. This sword absolutely cannot be auctioned. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences. I am merely warning you. If you do not wish to court disaster, then place this sword in the underground vault and never touch it again."
Chen Tian was offering a kind warning. As for this Demon Sword, Chen Tian had no interest in bidding on it. This sword absolutely should not be sold.
"Esteemed guest, this is your final warning. This is an auction organized by the joint efforts of four major factions. Do not overstep your bounds."
An old man appeared beside Qing Xue. Chen Tian fell silent, and the auction continued urgently.
"Miss, what is so peculiar about this sword?"
Elder Lin heard Chen Tian's voice. He saw no problem with this Demon Sword.
"Heh heh, naturally you wouldn't see the peculiarities of this sword. This Demon Sword is a true demon sword. Within the demon sword resides a soul. Whoever touches the body of the demon sword will be forcibly merged by the soul and become a killing machine. The entire world will be consumed by slaughter."
"This sword indeed needs to be sealed and should not have been brought out for auction."
"Miss, does that mean the person who acquires this demon sword will become a killer, slaughtering everyone until they are all dead?"
"That is correct."
Elder Lin was greatly shocked. This Demon Sword had such a strange characteristic. Chen Tian's intervention was reasonable. If they didn't listen, the consequences would no longer be Chen Tian's responsibility.
Chen Tian had sensed long ago that this Demon Sword was not a game item but a true Demon Sword from the divine realm. He couldn't understand how the game developers could allow such a thing to be auctioned.
It wasn't the developers' fault, however. The Demon Sword had always been in a secluded location. This Demon Sword was found by the four factions' auction house, not by the developers.
"I bid one thousand Time Coins!"
"Three thousand!"
"Eight thousand!"
The price continued to rise. Chen Tian shook his head. This world was about to face a great catastrophe. The wielder of the Demon Sword would absorb all the blood of those they killed. This absorption referred to the lifeblood of the individual. Those whose blood was consumed would die in the real world, their blood drained. Chen Tian had no intention of resolving this matter. He had already warned them, and if they didn't listen, they would have to deal with the consequences themselves.
Ultimately, the Demon Sword was acquired by the Tyrant Heaven Guild for one hundred million Time Coins, the highest bid of this auction.
"Next item: Dream Lake Ghost Orchid!"
A beautiful lotus flower appeared in the center of the auction hall. It had blue petals and transparent roots. Countless blue veins flowed across the petals, from which a blue liquid oozed. As Chen Tian saw this item, he glanced towards the flower. This thing belonged to Hua.
In Hua's private room, Hua's heart trembled upon seeing the item. She immediately extended her hand. Just as Qing Xue was about to bid for the lotus, the entire lotus floated up and drifted towards Hua's private room.
All the players were shocked. Had this flower chosen its own master?
Hua looked at the lotus in her hand and murmured, "So you were here. Now is the time for fusion."
The lotus seemed delighted. It opened its petals and entered Hua's body. At this moment, Hua's strength was fully restored.
Seeing Hua's strength restored, Chen Tian knew that only a few more items remained. He wondered if there was any auction for the whereabouts of the Starlight Tear. Chen Tian's purpose for coming here was to find the Starlight Tear.
Everyone in the hall fell silent. The flower had simply been given away, and it had even floated over by itself. The Linglong Auction House had no face to demand it back. Hadn't they seen it choose its own master?
This proved that the person in that private room was the most suitable candidate to possess this item.
Qing Xue was heartbroken.
Gritting her teeth, she said, "Next, the final壓軸 item."
The center of the auction hall trembled. Chen Tian's eyes flickered wildly, and he felt a sense of panic. Chen Tian didn't know what was happening to him, but it seemed related to the last auction item. He had an indescribable feeling.
