At the Star Luo Auction House, Huo Yuhao and the Shrek students saw a mineral-powered Light Guiding Screen that revealed the Sun Moon Empire’s technological lead.

His alarming claim left Auctioneer Qing Ya rushing to investigate whether the empire had concealed a dangerous mistake.

• A bidder bought the Heaven Splitting Cannon for seven million Gold Soul Coins after Huo Yuhao decided he could not use it.
• Princess Jiu Jiu introduced an Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone, and Huo Yuhao recognized it as an Ultimate Ice soul bone with the Ice Explosion skill.
• Huo Yuhao warned Qing Ya that the Star Luo Empire might be using the soul bone as bait to kill Meng Hongchen, who would die absorbing an Ultimate Ice soul bone without the Ultimate Ice attribute.
• Huo Yuhao suggested that the Star Luo Empire intended to eliminate Meng Hongchen because of her talent and possible Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Xiao Hongchen, while concealing the plan from other forces.
• Qing Ya grew frightened that the auction house might have overlooked the soul bone's danger and left to investigate.

Huo Yuhao’s warning led Shrek to suspect that the Star Luo Empire planned to use an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone to kill Meng Hongchen and provoke conflict with the Sun Moon Empire. Xu Jiawei considered exploiting the opportunity, then grew wary of the danger, and the chapter ended as Xu Jiu Jiu brought three prisoners to test the Soul Bone.

• Huo Yuhao told Xuan Zi that an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone would kill anyone whose martial soul lacked Ultimate Ice, strengthening Shrek’s suspicion that Star Luo intended to target Meng Hongchen.

Huo Yuhao warned the Shrek group that the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone would kill anyone without an Ultimate Ice martial soul, and the Star Luo Imperial Family bought it for thirty million Gold Soul Coins. The finale introduced a hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo sealed in a God Conferring Platform, whose power gave Huo Yuhao a possible direction for dealing with his enemy.

• Huo Yuhao told Ling Luochen that forcing a fusion with the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone would certainly kill her unless she had an Ultimate Ice martial soul.
• Wang Yan declined to bid on the Soul Bone, and Huo Yuhao explained that the auction house could let the Star Luo Imperial Family buy it or use a shill to take it back.
• Auctioneer Qing Ya confirmed that the officials would purchase the Soul Bone, and the Star Luo Imperial Family bought it for thirty million while Meng Hongchen watched from the VIP Room.
• Xu Jiu Jiu introduced the finale as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo confined in the Ninth Level Soul Tool called the God Conferring Platform.
• Huo Yuhao focused on the God Conferring Platform and considered developing a stronger version to seal his enemy or their followers.

Huo Yuhao realized the God Conferring Platform might be powerful enough to seal Gods, then used his Eye of True Sight to identify the auction guests. He discovered Du Busi was secretly plotting with Xu Jiawei and warned the Shrek group, who asked about his ability to see through walls.

• Huo Yuhao considered using the Giant Three-Legged Ammonite's shell to make a Rank Ten God Conferring Platform capable of sealing God-level experts.

• Du Busi sensed that someone might be watching him as he spoke with Xu Jiawei about raising the auction price and the Body Sect's plan to seize the embryo.
• Huo Yuhao stopped observing when Du Busi nearly noticed him, then told the Shrek group that Du Busi had come to the auction.
• Elder Xuan reacted angrily to Du Busi's presence, and a Shrek member asked Huo Yuhao whether his martial soul could see through things.

Huo Yuhao explained the limits of his X-ray vision and warned his companions against bidding on the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, then exposed Star Luo's strategy to profit from the Sun Moon Empire. After the auction ended with Xiao Hongchen winning the embryo, Qing Ya asked Huo Yuhao to stay and meet the owner of Starlight Auction House.

• Huo Yuhao clarified that his vision revealed internal anatomy rather than naked bodies, making the others feel sick.
• Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiao Tao discouraged the group from bidding on the embryo, explaining its immense cost and that an Inner Court member would likely claim it.
• Ma Xiao Tao identified Zhang Lexuan as the Inner Court's strongest member and the owner of a One Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
• Huo Yuhao pointed out that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy and the Body Sect were the only serious bidders, and said Star Luo was using the auction to force the Sun Moon Empire to trade valuable goods.

• Qing Ya asked Huo Yuhao to wait so the owner of Starlight Auction House could thank him.
