Of course, the voices raising the bid had already slowed considerably, and the increment of each increase was gradually falling as well.
If the Chaos Stone could be comprehended repeatedly, then no matter how outrageous the price, it would not be too much. Even True Immortals would, in all likelihood, descend to the lower realms to join the struggle for it.
But the Primordial Supreme Treasure before them was flawed—a one-time consumable item.
The law of chaos embraced all things and was mysterious to the extreme. To comprehend it was a matter of a thousand hardships and ten thousand difficulties. If one could only contemplate it once, no one could say how much one would gain; it was even possible to discover nothing at all.
If that happened, the loss would be enormous. Saying one had lost the wife and the soldiers would not be an exaggeration.
Even though these old monsters had no ordinary wealth, they still had no choice but to weigh things carefully. After all, tens of billions of Spirit Stones was no small number even to them, and naturally none of them was willing to throw it into the water for nothing.
Caution was only proper. No one would find it strange. If this continued, victory and defeat should be decided very soon.
Lin Xuan pondered so in his heart, and sure enough, as time passed, more and more cultivators withdrew from the competition.
In the end, only two or three remained.
Guanghan True Person, Bingpo Progenitor, and one of the Six Kings of the Underworld.
Corpse King Jinyue!
Whether by coincidence or not, of the peak existences of the Three Great Realms, exactly one from each remained.
And by now, the base price of the Chaos Stone had already been pushed up to twenty-five billion.
