Chen Tian sat in the room, the information of an item before him displayed in the center of the auction house. The item’s function was of no use to Chen Tian. The accessory in front of him was designed to elevate a person’s cultivation state to its peak. Chen Tian rarely cultivated; as long as he completed any of the system's tasks and awakened the Reincarnation Body, his strength would improve by leaps and bounds.
However, this did not mean others wouldn’t desire the item. Ming Yun stood in the center, gazing at the necklace before him, and then spoke indifferently, "The starting bid is three thousand Dark Realm Coins. Each bid must not be less than one thousand. The auction now begins."
Many cultivators desperately wanted this item. After all, cultivation was the primary goal in this world. Who wouldn’t want an item that could accelerate their cultivation speed to its zenith?
"I bid four thousand Dark Realm Coins."
"I bid five thousand."
"Six thousand. No one else should compete with me."
The price quickly escalated, continuously increasing until it reached nine thousand. The currency used in the Dark Realm auction house was called Dark Realm Coins, exclusive to the Dark Realm auction house. The conversion rate was three hundred million to one. This meant that three hundred million in wealth was required to exchange for a single Dark Realm Coin, an astronomical figure.
An item like this selling for nine thousand represented an immense fortune. Chen Tian found it easy to convert the wealth he possessed into Dark Realm Coins. After all, Chen Tian possessed the ability of data modification and could effortlessly alter his wealth into an infinite amount. Chen Tian looked at his desk, placed his hand on it, and a screen quickly appeared. The process for almost all auction houses in the Dark Realm was the same.
Chen Tian converted his current wealth into Dark Realm Coins and stated calmly, "I wonder if one hundred thousand Dark Realm Coins will be enough to purchase that offspring egg. I'll start with this for now."
If anyone else had heard Chen Tian’s words, many would likely have reacted with astonishment. That was one hundred thousand Dark Realm Coins!
Chen Tian spoke of it so casually, and judging by his demeanor, he seemed to have plenty of money to spare. Unfortunately, no one knew this. After Chen Tian finished exchanging his Dark Realm Coins, the auction reached its climax. The price of the necklace had already reached three thousand, and it was ultimately auctioned off for forty thousand.
Ming Yun nodded in satisfaction. This was merely the first item. He believed that as the auction progressed, the items would become even more precious, and this auction would undoubtedly yield an immense harvest, far richer than usual. His own rewards would also be substantial.
The elder Ming Yun said indifferently, "The next item is the Godly Armor. This armor is said to have been worn by a deity, possessing partial divinity and abilities. Please take a look."
A set of silver armor materialized in the center of the auction house. Clad in silver, the entire set exuded an aura of nobility and extraordinary presence. In the center of the armor, the character "天" (Tian) was inscribed.
The armguards of the silver armor featured three long, sharp spikes. The pauldrons were adorned with two uniquely shaped items. To Chen Tian, the items on the pauldrons resembled cannons. The greaves were entwined with peculiar patterns, seemingly exclusive to leg armor.
The entire armor gave off a feeling of sacredness that could not be defiled. Chen Tian indeed sensed a divine aura from the armor. The divine aura from the God Realm was indistinguishable from the divine aura of deities in all the myriad worlds; divine auras were unified. The ultimate goal of cultivators was to become gods, but not all cultivators could achieve godhood.
Chen Tian was not interested in this armor. The energy-formed armor he used was already far superior to this one. However, Chen Tian was curious if deities were truly so scarce in all the myriad worlds.
In his God Realm, deities were practically everywhere. Before the invasion of the Evil Spirit Clan, this was a point of confusion for Chen Tian. What kind of world was the God Realm?
In the center of the auction house, the information for the armor was revealed. This was the second item, its utility far exceeding the first.
Godly Armor
Origin: Armor worn by a deity
Abilities: Death Immunity, Salvation, Redemption.
Death Immunity: Can immunize against fatal attacks three times.
Salvation: Instantly restores all states.
Redemption: Revives from death once (limited to one use).
The abilities of this armor were exceptionally heaven-defying. Many cultivators went mad upon seeing this. It was indeed armor worn by a deity; these abilities were practically divine artifacts!
"The starting bid for the Godly Armor is forty thousand. Each bid must not be less than ten thousand Dark Realm Coins. The auction now begins."
"Fifty thousand!"
"Sixty thousand."
"Eighty thousand."
"One hundred thousand! You penniless fellows, this armor is mine."
"Heh, highest bidder wins. I bid one hundred and thirty thousand."
"Then let's see who has more wealth. One hundred and eighty thousand."
Those who bid were all rulers of their respective worlds and were not short of money. After all, they had the wealth of an entire world at their disposal. Could a single item drain a world? That was an impossible thought. Furthermore, the Dark Realm had abundant resources, and the wealth accumulated was considerable.
These individuals had no reason to worry about lacking funds. Chen Tian couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Dark Realm auction house. They could acquire such items and even put them up for auction. But why didn't the Dark Realm auction house choose to use them themselves?
Chen Tian found it strange. If other cultivators obtained such items, they would hoard them. But this auction was peculiar, and Chen Tian sensed a hint of conspiracy.
However, as long as the Dark Realm auction house did not provoke Chen Tian, he had no intention of conflict. After all, there were still many enemies to deal with, and Chen Tian did not wish to incur more.
Ultimately, the Godly Armor was purchased by someone from a private room on the third floor for thirty million. It was simply too expensive to keep up. The price of one hundred and thirty thousand was everyone's limit. If they bid higher, they wouldn't be able to afford the subsequent items. Moreover, everyone was primarily here for the offspring egg, the egg of a primordial beast, which was the key item.
All the items in this auction were merely complements to that offspring egg. They had no need to continue bidding, especially since it was uncertain whether the item could even be brought out of the Dark Realm.
A commotion began to stir behind the scenes of the entire Dark Realm auction house. Every faction and every cultivator dispatched their subordinates to gather information about the buyer of the Godly Armor.
They intended to treat the item as if it were temporarily in the buyer's possession, with the idea of robbing them as soon as they left the Dark Realm auction house.
In a private room on the third floor, a young man gazed at the silver armor before him, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "Long time no see, my companion armor."
If anyone were to hear this sentence, they would surely be astonished. What did it mean?
Did it imply that the young man before them was a deity, a reincarnated deity? The Godly Armor seemed to sense the young man's aura and willingly merged into his body, becoming one with him.
The young man spoke, "My strength has finally recovered to thirty percent. There are still three more items. I must restore my strength before the Evil Spirit Clan fully invades."
