Chapter 1237: Immortal Remnant Body

Chapter 567

“Eleven million, is there a higher bid?”

“Eleven million once…”

In the end, the Immortal remains were successfully purchased by Xu Ran.

But this also placed him firmly on Bloodless’ hit list.

Xu Ran did not bid again during the following auctions until the final item emerged.

It was a broken jade disc, carrying an aura of age, engraved with fragmented paths of the stars.

“The Ancient Navigation Map!”

At this moment, the atmosphere of the entire venue reached its peak!

“Starting bid, five million Dao Origin crystals!”

“Eight million!” Bloodless’ voice was the first to ring out, filled with a determination to win.

“Nine million!” The hoarse voice of Mad Bone Dao Ancestor followed closely.

“Nine and a half million!” Thousand Illusion Demon Lord joined the battle with a playful laugh.

This item was key to escaping this “cage,” and no one was willing to give it up.

The price soared rapidly, soon breaking the fifteen million mark.

Bloodless’ face became increasingly grim, as the crystals he brought were nearly exhausted.

At this moment, that indifferent voice he hated to the core rang out once again.

“Thirty million.”

In an instant, the entire auction venue fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned by this number.

Thirty million!

This was no longer a bid; it was… a crushing blow! An unimaginable fortune used to brutally trample all competitors underfoot!

You could hear a pin drop.

In the circular venue, tens of thousands of Daoist Monarchs felt their breathing becoming exceedingly difficult. The auras of the Dao Ancestors, hovering in their respective private rooms on the second and third floors—originally majestic and commanding—were now all withdrawn, some in surprise, some in solemnity, and some in deep apprehension.

Their gazes were fixated on the only illuminated “Top-Rated” private room on the top floor, filled with complexity.

This number had far exceeded their comprehension of “wealth.” Dao Origin crystals are the hard currency for cultivation and transactions among Dao Ancestors, with each one containing vast Dao Principles and energy. Thirty million such crystals were enough to form a Dao Origin mountain range spanning galaxies, sufficient to support an Immortal Dao lineage for several eras!

“Insane… Who is this guy?!”

“Even if you emptied the entire black sandbelt of all the Dao Ancestors’ resources, you couldn’t come up with this amount, could you?”

“Could he be the direct descendant from some ancient Immortal inheritance outside the Myriad Domain Ruins?”

Whispers buzzed like flies but were quickly suppressed by an invisible pressure. By this point, no one dared to speculate lightly about the identity of the owner of that private room.

The atmosphere inside Bloodless’ private room was frozen to the point of ice.

“Bang!”

A jade table crafted from millennium star wood was shattered to dust by Bloodless with a single palm strike. His handsome yet sinister face was taut with bulging veins, and his eyes were bloodshot, a grotesque mix of extreme anger, humiliation, and disbelief.

“Thirty million… How dare he?! How can he?!” Bloodless’ voice was hoarse, like a wounded beast growling.

As the Young Master of the Sea of Blood and Imprisonment, he was born with stars in attendance, commanding the wind and rain. In this black sandbelt, his name was synonymous with power and wealth. Yet today, he had been thoroughly crushed by the most direct and brutal means, in front of all of Broken Star City’s powerful figures, with the very wealth he prided himself on.

“Young Master, this person is of unknown origin, unfathomable, and cannot be forcibly opposed.” An elder Dao Ancestor behind him advised in a harsh voice, “That Immortal remains, for him to purchase it with eleven million is already incredible. Now, to offer thirty million… Such depth is beyond our imagination. Even though the Master of Blood Prison is strong, the sky is high, and the road is far…”

Another elder added solemnly, “This person acts with utter disregard, either a newborn calf or possessing the confidence to ignore all rules. Considering the Sword Intent he displayed earlier, the latter is more likely. Young Master, a gentleman takes revenge, not within ten years. Find out his background first, then decide.”

Bloodless’ chest heaved violently, the killing intent in his eyes was almost tangible, piercing through the void. But he was ultimately not a complete fool. The words of his two Dao Ancestor guards, like a basin of cold water, extinguished his fury, leaving behind a deep, cold resentment and murderous intention.

“Fine… A fine thirty million!” He spat out the words through clenched teeth, slowly sitting back down, his eyes locked onto Xu Ran’s private room as if imprinting the space into the depths of his soul.

On the auction platform, the graceful woman in palace attire regained her composure from the massive shock. She took a deep breath, suppressing her inner turmoil, and displayed a smile more radiant than ever before on her beautiful face.

“The esteemed guest in the Top-Rated private room bids thirty million! Thirty million Dao Origin crystals! Is there… no higher offer?”

Her voice echoed throughout the venue, but no one responded.

The auction hall remained enveloped in silence.

Mad Bone Dao Ancestor, Thousand Illusion Demon Lord, and the other powerful figures who were fiercely competing a moment ago chose now to stay silent. It wasn’t that they lacked temper but that in the face of such absolute strength (financial strength is also a kind of strength), any struggle seemed pale and laughable.

“Thirty million once!”

“Thirty million twice!”

“Thirty million thrice!”

“Dong!”

With the final strike of the auction hammer, wielded with force by the palace-dressed beauty, the deal was sealed.
