The Controller's Nine Divine Weapons, eight of which are created by combining one of the eight Origin Law of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light with either the law of time or the law of space.

The last of the Nine Divine Weapons is a divine weapon forged by combining the two most profound Origin Law of "time" and "space".

Not only humans use them, but many races in the universe, especially those who follow the Mental Master route, also use these Controller's Nine Divine Weapons.

In the vast universe, the types of psychic weapons are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. To stand out among them and possess the title of "Nine Divine Weapons" is an extraordinary achievement in itself. Although the rank of these Nine Divine Weapons is generally only suitable for use by those below the Immortal level, their creators are all figures who have shaken the ages.

Even those who are granted the King level Immortal must bow down before them.

Extreme Divine Weapon, Nine Forms.

Each layer is more powerful than the last, and of course, the difficulty of controlling it also increases accordingly.

There is a saying that among the Nine Divine Weapons Divine Spirit Weapons, they are both the strongest and the weakest.

They are the strongest because they possess an upper limit that other Tier 5 psionic weapon cannot match.

They are the weakest because they are too difficult to use. If one's comprehension is poor, one cannot unleash their power at all.

"Extreme Divine Weapon".

Lin Yan naturally understood that a good weapon can greatly enhance one's strength.

His Light Origin Law has reached a very high level, and he has also crossed the threshold of the Time Origin Law. For example, when using the "Arc Saber Disc," he can apply his Law Comprehension to combat, but he is unable to fully unleash the laws he has comprehended.

The Sky Shattering Shuttle is possible, but it's a Sky Shattering Shuttle telekinetic weapon, so its focus is different.

The Extreme Divine Weapon is undoubtedly his best choice at this stage.

"The reserve price is 500 billion Cosmic Coin!"

Immediately, many people began bidding on the huge thrones densely packed together in the auction hall.

The Nine Divine Weapons are rarely seen in normal times. Even at the Ganwu Auction, they are not guaranteed to be available every time, so there are many people who are interested in them.

The numbers on the screen kept soaring, while the seventh-ranked bid was displayed on one side of the screen.

600 billion...900 billion...1.3 trillion...

Lin Yan was very calm. The auction price of the Extreme Divine Weapon is usually at least more than two trillion Cosmic Coin. Of course, because it is an auction, facing millions of World Master, the transaction price can sometimes be terrifyingly high.

However, Lin Yan has thousands of Hunyuan assets. Even if he wanted to buy them all, it would only be a fraction of his assets. There is no need to worry about not being able to get them.

"4.31 trillion!"

Number frozen!

"The seventh bid is 4.31 trillion Cosmic Coin. Three seconds left... 3... 2... 1... Congratulations to these seven guests for becoming owners of the 'Extreme Divine Weapon'!" the tortoise-shell elder announced loudly. "Let's continue. The next item for auction is..."

Lin Yan looked at the line of text on the Black Token screen in his hand. "Congratulations, guest number KEY76898, you have won an Extreme Divine Weapon. Please prepare to sign the contract after this batch of auctions ends."

I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Among the 1,000 items in this auction batch are 12 Life Fruit, with a starting price of 500 billion Cosmic Coin.

The Life Fruit is known as the second life of World Master. No matter how severe the injury, it can fully restore the body once used. It contains extremely pure life force and can also enable the evolution of human, animal, and Plant Lifeform.

This incredibly concentrated and pure life force is something he himself cannot use, as his body simply cannot bear it. However, it can be used to cultivate Plant Lifeform with incredibly powerful cellular activity.

However, this energy is too strong and too large. "Bingeing" is bad for the body, as it is not only difficult to digest, but also wastes the efficacy of the medicine.

Lan Ke Fruit is a more cost-effective choice.

Lin Yan has already bought 15 units of Lan Ke Fruit. Stellar level cultivators eat Demon Luo Fruit, while Cosmic level cultivators eat Lan Ke Fruit. This way, the cultivation effect will be better.

But what can you do when he's just too rich?

He also purchased four Life Fruits, spending 11 Hun Yuan Unit, which he does not intend to use for the time being, but it is better to be prepared.

After all, you can't buy them normally even if you want to.

The subsequent auctions revealed a series of treasures, which broadened Lin Yan's horizons and taught him many hidden secrets of the universe.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided that most of it wasn't really necessary.

As for those complete star systems that they sell, they're all from far away, so they're not really useful to me. And as for fifth-tier weapons, all 36 of them are still lying in my Space Ring.

However, there are some worth investing in.

"The next item up for auction is a pharmacist's journal. This pharmacist, 'Ting Wu,' was an elite World Master in his lifetime. This journal is a spoil of war from the Outer Domain Battlefield. Its contents are detailed and progressive, recording dozens of toxins that can be effective against World Master."

"Lowest price - 80 Hunyuan!"

Although it is described as a notebook, the content displayed on the screen is a series of enormous books, each half a meter long, half a meter wide, and 20 centimeters thick, made entirely of blackish-purple metal. There are 96 such books in total.

Lin Yan's eyes lit up; this was an unexpected delight.

He actually came across the complete handbook of an elite World Lord level pharmacist at an auction.

Since Wen Zhi'an is planning to become a pharmacist, I should of course support him. It's not too much to spend some money on my wife!

Seeing Lin Yan's somewhat tempted expression, the tall, snake-haired World Master sitting to Lin Yan's left said in a low voice, "Brother, you don't actually want to buy this Apothecary's Handbook, do you?"

"The pharmacist route, to put it bluntly, is a niche path. Don't be fooled by the fact that there are over 1.3 million World Master in this auction hall; there are probably no more than 200 of them who choose the pharmacist route. It's far less popular than the martial arts and Mental Master paths."

"Moreover, it costs a lot of money for pharmacists to make potions, but their combat power is not high, and it is difficult for them to make money. The owner of this notebook is an elite World Master, and the strongest potion recorded is only effective for World Master. If the contents were not complete, it would not be worth this price at all. I advise you to be cautious, brother."

Lin Yan asked in confusion, "There are dozens of kinds of potions that are effective against World Master, so why aren't they worth 80 Chaos Yuan?"

"Even if you know the method of making it, it's very difficult to succeed by simply following the steps," the World Master explained. "The process of making potions is too complicated, and some potions are even impossible for the creator to make again."

"However, it takes a lot of time to delve into this aspect."

Lin Yan nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, you're right."

The Snake-Haired World Master grinned, feeling that he had helped someone with his experience. "You were able to get into this auction, which means your background must be extraordinary. You should focus your energy on the right things. Don't waste your energy on these shady things."

Lin Yan smiled and said nothing, but in fact he had already secretly spent 103 Hunyuan to buy it.

What the snake-haired World Master said makes sense, but... his assets really don't need much consideration. The scarcity of apothecaries makes it rare to encounter an opportunity to have a complete manual like this. Buying it means having more options.

Even if Wen Zhi'an isn't suitable, he might meet the right person. Having some foundation is a kind of strength; 103 Hunyuan is nothing special.

This is also because the profession of pharmacist is too unpopular; otherwise, in terms of true value, it would be far more than 103 mixed yuan.

Next, he happened to come across the Yan Shen Armament, one of the Nine Divine Weapons of "Gold and Space", which was very suitable for Luo Feng. Lin Yan casually spent 3.7 Hunyuan to buy it.

This money will be deducted from their future shareholder dividends.

He gave each of them 10% of the shares for two reasons: first, to maintain unity among them, and second, to give them the ability to acquire important resources in the early stages.

Thirdly, they all have unlimited potential, so it's certainly worth the cost to win them over.

This approach can enhance their cohesion and ensure one's dominant position in the relationship.

The tenth day of the Ganwu Auction.

It was also the last day of the auction.

"Now we've reached the final climax of this auction—the auction of the final 100 items. Each of these items is either unique or incredibly valuable, and the starting price for each item is zero!"

The final auction of the day—the grand finale—is about to begin.

"The first and final item is an extremely precious close-combat movement technique for martial artists. Everyone present is World Master of the Ganwu Universe Country, so they naturally understand the importance of movement techniques in close combat. This secret technique has a solid foundation and is unpredictable in its use. Before reaching the Immortal realm, it is definitely the top-tier movement technique."

The old man in the tortoise shell shouted loudly, "The Phantom Shadow Illusionary Body!"
