Chapter 580: Chapter 581: Dragon Emperor’s Claw (Third Update)

Bai Xuan suddenly stood up.

From within her, an exquisitely mysterious Sword Intent surged forth.

Within this Sword Intent were a hundred Sword Qis merged into one, of which the most distinguished was the power of the Sky-reaching Sword Qi.

"All the power of this Sky-reaching Sword Qi has been devoured? Ninety-nine percent of its strength has been swallowed?"

Elder Li, witnessing the transformation in Bai Xuan, was extremely astonished.

For an external Sword Qi to have thirty percent of its power assimilated was already not easy, to devour forty or fifty percent was a sight rarely seen in a Sword Dao genius.

As for what was happening now, with Bai Xuan having devoured ninety-nine percent of the Sky-reaching Sword Qi, it was truly an inconceivable affair.

"Congratulations, senior sister, your Sword Dao has achieved a minor success."

Chu Fengmian looked at Bai Xuan and said with a smile.

When it came to friends, Chu Fengmian was never stingy; Bai Xuan had helped Chu Fengmian a great deal, and he felt no loss in giving her the power of the Sky-reaching Sword Qi.

"My Sword Dao has finally become condensed."

Bai Xuan stood up, sensing the Sword Intent within her body, and her face was filled with great joy.

Her ultimate goal in Sword Dao was to merge a myriad of Sword Qis into one. Now, Bai Xuan had only merged a hundred Sword Qis, which could only be considered as minor achievement.

But even a minor achievement marked the successful condensation. Ninety-eight and a hundred Sword Qis, although they differed only slightly, represented entirely different realms.

The current Bai Xuan, in terms of strength, was countless times more formidable than she had just been.

Perhaps she was now even more powerful than Hong Yu and Luo Changhen, and upon returning to Beimang Academy, she would be regarded as the genuine number one figure among the inner disciples.

"I also have to thank you for your assistance."

Bai Xuan looked at Chu Fengmian, her eyes revealing a hint of contemplation.

Elder Li might not have noticed, but Bai Xuan herself was aware that her strength had been greatly enhanced by assimilating ninety-nine percent of the spiritual power within the Sky-reaching Sword Qi, and it wasn’t just because of herself.

It was because of Chu Fengmian.

The final Sword Qi she lacked had also been completed by Chu Fengmian.

The last sword strike from Chu Fengmian, although it didn’t contain an overly domineering force, had the power to merge everything.

It was this force that perfectly combined the other ninety-nine Sword Qis within her, marking the minor success of her Sword Dao.

All of this could be said to be thanks to Chu Fengmian.

However, Bai Xuan didn’t explicitly mention this point. Chu Fengmian harbored many secrets, and exposing them would be very troublesome.

If Chu Fengmian wasn’t willing to speak, Bai Xuan wouldn’t inquire proactively.

With Bai Xuan’s breakthrough, her Sword Intent also leaked out from the private room.

"Someone has made a breakthrough inside the ’Heaven’ number ten private room!"

"Such a sharp Sword Intent, is this the power of the Sky-reaching Sword Qi?"

"Sky-reaching Sword Qi, to be refined by someone like this, surely any peak saint who condenses this Sword Qi would become an invincible figure among those with Divine Power."

Voices arose, filled with jealousy, but even more so with envy.

The Sky-reaching Sword Qi, indeed, whoever obtained it was not someone they could get a chance to encounter.

"Damn it, the Sky-reaching Sword Qi has actually been refined by a native of the Northern Region!"

Gu Lin, sensing the Sword Intent, naturally understood that the Sky-reaching Sword Qi had been refined by someone.

"Sky-reaching Sword Venerable was a great being who had transcended the realm of life and death. The fact that his Sword Qi was refined by a native of the Northern Region is simply a waste of heavenly gifts!"

This Sky-reaching Sword Qi was originally Gu Lin’s possession, yet Chu Fengmian snatched it away right from Gu Lin’s hands with his ruthless attack.

"There’s no need for Senior Brother Gu to worry. Once the Sky-reaching Sword Qi is refined and we kill this man, we can also obtain it."

A disciple of the Ancient Desolate Sect advised.

"Hmph."

Gu Lin sat brooding on his throne, his eyes ablaze with anger, planning over and over in his mind how to completely eliminate Chu Fengmian.

The Sky-reaching Sword Qi was just an interlude.

Among the innumerable treasures up for auction that followed, not a single one caught Chu Fengmian’s eye.

Many of these treasures, hailing from the Ancient Era and emerging from ancient caverns, were of immense value.

But if they were of no use to Chu Fengmian, he wouldn’t waste his wealth on them, even though he possessed plenty. Chu Fengmian was not one to squander carelessly.

Before long, the auction was nearing its end, with only the last three treasures remaining.

The crowd’s interest had not waned despite the drawn-out time; in fact, excitement surged as the finale approached.

"Item number thirty-seven."

On the stage, several martial artists from the audience worked together to heft a massive object and place it on the stage.

The object, tens of meters in length and width, was oddly shaped at first glance.

It seemed to vaguely resemble the palm of a creature.

"Is this, a dragon claw? A Dragon Emperor’s claw?"

At first sight of the object, Chu Fengmian’s expression changed dramatically.

He could not be fooled by the faint dragon might emanating from it, recognizing the object before him as a dragon claw, one from a dragon of Emperor-level strength.

"This item is a dragon claw from the Ao Heng Dragon Emperor!"

The true sage on the stage announced slowly.

"This relic is from the ancient cavern uncovered in this expedition. Ao Heng Dragon Emperor was a distinguished figure among the ancient dragon race, possessing the potential to challenge the Dragon Emperor himself. Despite having fallen for tens of thousands of years, this dragon claw still contains an extreme and terrifying power, and even holds the essence of his bloodline. Whoever obtains it will be obtaining the Dragon Emperor’s bloodline!"

The words of the true sage immediately stirred a huge commotion among the audience.

"Dragon Emperor’s claw!"

"Ao Heng Dragon Emperor was a formidable figure ten thousand years ago, the leader among Dragon Emperors, an existence nearly comparable to the Dragon Emperor himself!"

"With the bloodline of the dragon race, and that of a Dragon Emperor no less, whoever secures it will reap endless benefits!"

"Even if I have to stake all my fortune today and pour every wealth I have into it, I must obtain this dragon claw!"

Whispers of Spiritual Sense flew back and forth.

Chu Fengmian could feel that the people in the VIP booths around him were all abuzz with discussion.

Dragon Emperor’s claw.

The Sky-reaching Auction truly lived up to its reputation as the greatest auction of the Void Sea, with the first of the last three items already being such a marvel.

"Amazing! Ao Heng Dragon Emperor was nearly on par with the Dragon Emperor. Although he couldn’t contend with the Ancient Dragon Emperor, he was still a peerless dominator among the dragonkind."

Chu Fengmian looked at the Dragon Emperor’s claw, his eyes showing a hint of excitement.

"The power contained within this dragon claw is substantial, and I just so happen to possess the Nirvana Dragon Egg. I could use this Dragon Emperor’s claw alongside the Nirvana Dragon Egg to perform a sacred ritual, doubling the effectiveness of the process!"
