Of the nine auction items, eight had been revealed and sold. Only the last remained unrevealed and unsold.
Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI fixed her beautiful eyes on the last glass display case atop the raised platform, still covered by a red silk cloth.
She knew it contained a divine artifact.
But she did not know what it was.
The divine artifact... is about to be revealed.
As Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI thought this, a clear hint of anticipation appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Today, Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI would see just what the first divine artifact the Lin Auction House was going to auction was.
After successfully selling the three Transformation Pills, Lin Yuan proceeded to the next glass display case covered by a red silk cloth.
With a swish, Lin Yuan pulled the red silk cloth straight off the case.
A weapon was revealed, and one guest after another got a clear look at it.
It was a saber! Its blade was dark gold from end to end, its surface covered in fine, curling patterns like dragon scales. Under the light, it looked so lifelike that it seemed alive. The sharp glint at its tip sent chills down their spines; its edge seemed capable of tearing through every defense in the world.
It was none other than the divine artifact, the Dragon-Slaying Saber!
The instant the divine artifact came into view, Di Tian, whose true form was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, and Zi JI, whose true form was a Hell Demon Dragon, froze as if struck by lightning.
That was right. The two of them were no strangers to the divine artifact the Lin Auction House was auctioning. They were very familiar with it!
As she stared at the divine artifact in the glass case, Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI spoke, asking Di Tian beside her in a trembling, disbelieving voice to confirm what she was seeing. "Lord Beast God, I... I'm not seeing things, am I? That... that... that's our Dragon Clan's Dharma Saber?!"
Gulp~
Di Tian did not answer Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI. His eyes wide, he swallowed in shock, his disbelief no less than hers.
After a long silence, Di Tian finally answered Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI. "You're not seeing things. That is indeed our Dragon Clan's Dharma Saber."
After answering Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI, Di Tian felt a curiosity unlike any he had ever known.
The Dharma Saber was a divine artifact, the Dragon Clan's supreme treasure. It had vanished after the great war in the Divine Realm all those years ago, its whereabouts unknown. Di Tian badly wanted to know how it had fallen into Lin Yuan's hands.
On a sofa below the platform, Dai Weisi gazed at the auction item and murmured his assessment. "A saber-type divine artifact? It should be for attack."
When Dai Weisi finished, Zhu Zhuyun spoke up beside him, as irritable as ever. "Isn't that stating the obvious? When have you ever seen a saber used for defense?"
Dai Weisi ignored Zhu Zhuyun.
After examining the auction item for a while, he turned his gaze to Lin Yuan.
Dai Weisi waited for Lin Yuan to introduce the item.
The other guests present were waiting as well.
Lin Yuan did not disappoint them. He soon spoke.
"As you can see, honored guests, the saber in the case is the final item our Lin Auction House will auction today. It is neither a weapon nor a Martial Soul, but a divine artifact!"
"Its name?"
"It is called the Dragon-Slaying Saber!"
"It is also known as the Dragon Clan Dharma Saber."
"It is primarily an offensive artifact. No living being below the level of a god can withstand its attacks, not even something as powerful as the Four-Word Full-Set Battle Armor, the Black God Set!"
"Besides its formidable offensive power, all Soul Beasts and Beast Martial Soul owners will have their strength absolutely suppressed before it."
"It has slaughtered countless lesser dragons and true dragons. Even a Dragon King at the God King level once fell beneath its blade. If you win it, possess it, and wield it, your combat power will surely rise tremendously!"
Snap!
With that, Lin Yuan snapped his fingers.
The instant the crisp snap rang out, the glass case opened.
Boom!
The Dragon-Slaying Saber's pressure surged out from the glass case in every direction, sweeping and crushing its way outward. In an instant, it affected the entire auction hall.
Under the Dragon-Slaying Saber's influence, the guests in the auction hall began to experience "hallucinations."
They saw an enormous execution platform, and on it, one giant dragon after another, their massive bodies blotting out the sky and sun, bound fast. There were blue dragons, black dragons, red dragons-dragons of every color. Some had wings, some had none; some had four claws, others five. Lesser dragons, true dragons, pure-blooded true dragons-they were all there!
"Roar~!"
Amid furious, indignant dragon roars, the Dragon-Slaying Saber came crashing down, slicing the heads off one giant dragon after another.
The heads grew more and more numerous.
They piled up into one nearly impassable mountain after another.
Because it had slain so very many giant dragons, the dark-gold treasured saber had earned the revered name Dragon-Slaying Saber.
"Is this... hell?"
Watching giant dragons no weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon being effortlessly killed by the Dragon-Slaying Saber, becoming one dragon corpse after another, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, whose Martial Soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, grew afraid. An unprecedented terror welled up in his heart, making his body tremble beyond his control.
As Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen trembled in fear, Di Tian, whose true form was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, formed a firm resolve.
The Dragon-Slaying Saber must never fall into a Soul Master's hands. No matter the cost, I must win it!
Snap!
A snap of fingers rang out again.
The glass case closed.
The Dragon-Slaying Saber's pressure vanished.
The hallucination disappeared with it.
The moment Di Tian came to his senses, he bid to Lin Yuan on the raised platform without a second thought. "Five million Gold Soul Coins!"
No sooner had Di Tian made his bid than Bibi Dong parted her delicate lips and followed with one of her own. "Ten million Gold Soul Coins!"
In the future, Bibi Dong would become the First-Level God Rakshasa God and obtain the divine artifact that came from the Rakshasa God, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
Like the Dragon-Slaying Saber, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe was an offensive divine artifact.
Although she would have an offensive divine artifact in the future, that did not stop Bibi Dong from bidding on the Dragon-Slaying Saber.
Bibi Dong would never complain about having too many divine artifacts. In her view, the more, the better.
"Eleven million Gold Soul Coins!" Qian Renxue, disguised as the Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, was the third person present to bid. She currently represented Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so she had to compete for the divine artifact, the Dragon-Slaying Saber. No matter how unwilling she was, she had to take part, or she would have no way to answer to Ning Fengzhi.
"Fifteen million Gold Soul Coins!" The fourth to bid was the King of Slaughter from Slaughter City.
The King of Slaughter had failed to obtain any of the previous auction items.
This time, the King of Slaughter was determined to win the item!
"Sixteen million Gold Soul Coins!" Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi also made a bid. She wanted to see whether she could win the divine artifact, the Dragon-Slaying Saber.
It did not matter if she failed. She would join in for the fun of it.
"This time, I really am going home empty-handed." On the sofa, Dai Weisi was utterly dejected.
Beside him, Zhu Zhuyun smiled. "Not necessarily."
Dai Weisi: "???!!!"
