Chapter 581 - 582: One Hundred Million (Fourth Update)

Chapter 581: Chapter 582: One Hundred Million (Fourth Update)

Chu Fengmian practiced the Battle Dragon Technique.

Now, with the Ao Heng Dragon Emperor’s dragon claw in Chu Fengmian’s hands, only then could it serve its greatest purpose.

"I must obtain this Dragon Emperor’s claw," Feng Mian declared with unwavering determination. His wealth so substantial, he was ready to compete with anyone for the claw.

As the whispers in the venue gradually subsided, the revered Spiritual Master on the stands began to speak slowly.

"The starting bid for the Ao Heng Dragon Emperor’s dragon claw is one million Spirit Stones!"

Although the tone of the Spiritual Master was calm, each word struck resonantly in the hearts of all present.

A starting bid of a million, a figure that many peak Saints could not match even if they bankrupted themselves.

The venue fell quiet for a moment.

But then, in the next instant, countless voices called out simultaneously.

"Two million!"

"Three million!"

"Five million!"

"Ten million!"

Inside the earth character private boxes, numerous voices suddenly erupted.

The value of the Dragon Emperor’s claw was not something mere millions of Spirit Stones could compare to.

The price skyrocketed to over ten million in a blink of an eye and kept on climbing.

"Twenty million!"

From within the heaven character suite, a powerful voice suddenly boomed, clearly that of a true powerhouse.

Heaven Number Seven.

Chu Fengmian instantly knew that this voice had come from the seventh heaven character suite.

Apart from his own, number eleven, and Gu Lin’s, number ten, this was the first time someone from the heaven character suites had spoken.

"The real big shots are finally making a move."

"The Dragon Emperor’s claw holds immense value even for those high-level beings at the Life and Death stage."

"This Dragon Emperor’s claw will likely fetch a sky-high price."

Martial Artists below discussed animatedly, now merely spectators in this auction where the claw was out of their reach.

"This Dragon Emperor’s claw, twenty million Spirit Stones—if no one else bids, it shall be mine!"

The voice from suite number seven resonated with an undertone of threat.

Whoever dared bid now for the Dragon Emperor’s claw would be making an enemy of him.

Those in the heaven character suites were all influential figures, especially the one speaking now, whose power seemingly reached the high realm of the Life and Death stage.

Not many would choose to offend such a figure.

"Oh? Who is this person, acting so arrogantly?"

Feng Mian could discern the domineering firmness and the menace in that voice.

"The person in suite seven must be a Guest Elder from the Outer Heaven Tower, Jade Face Dragon. It is said he’s had a remarkable encounter with the dragon race, so his interest in the Dragon Emperor’s claw is not surprising."

Elder Li spoke up to explain from the side.

"In terms of strength, Jade Face Dragon is a formidable force within the high ranks of the Life and Death realm. It’s best for Young Master Chu not to compete with him."

Elder Li could now see that Chu Fengmian was an unruly and unfettered character.

Considering he did not even regard the Seven Great Sects of the Ancient Desolate Sect with respect, Elder Li did not wish for Feng Mian to offend Jade Face Dragon unnecessarily and for them to lose such an important client at Sky Commerce.

"Oh?"

Hearing Elder Li’s words, Feng Mian quietly activated his Spiritual Sense and turned his gaze towards suite number seven.

His sense pierced through various prohibitions, and he saw at a glance a middle-aged man seated within suite number seven.

This man exuded a faint dragon’s might, and even had dragon scales on his neck, making his appearance quite peculiar.

The might of this Jade-faced Dragon was barely inferior to that of the Undying Demon Lord.

"There are indeed many strong figures in the Sea of Void."

Chu Fengmian nodded in agreement.

Chu Fengmian had thought that the strongest figures in the Northern Region would be found only at the Beimang Academy or the Earth Demon Gate, but now it seemed that the forces in the Sea of Void were not lacking in powerhouses either.

While Chu Fengmian was pondering, a loud voice suddenly echoed from outside.

"Brother Yu Men, you wish to get the Dragon Emperor’s Claw for a mere twenty million Spirit Stones, isn’t that a bit too cheap?"

From the adjacent, VIP Room No. 6, another voice came forth.

"I bid thirty million!"

This voice was equally domineering, and the aura within the words was no less powerful than that of the Jade-faced Dragon.

This was another high-rank Martial Artist in the Life-and-Death Realm.

High-rank Martial Artists in the Life-and-Death Realm were actually quite rare in the Sea of Void, yet now at this auction, they were revealing themselves one after another.

"Forty million!"

Another voice sounded, this time from the third VIP booth of the T-shaped rooms, belonging to a woman.

Chu Fengmian glanced over and saw a woman sitting inside the T-3 VIP booth, with two middle-aged men standing behind her, closely guarding her at all times.

The woman’s strength was comparable to that of Luo Changhen and others, yet the two middle-aged men behind her were high-rank Martial Artists of the Life-and-Death Realm.

Having high-rank Martial Artists of the Life-and-Death Realm as her guardians, one could imagine the power behind this woman.

"Fifty million!"

The Jade-faced Dragon spoke again from VIP Room No. 7.

"Sixty million!"

The woman from VIP Room No. 3 also spoke up once more.

The price continued to soar, but now only these three parties were still contending.

"Almost there."

The price had now risen to around eighty million, Chu Fengmian muttered to himself.

It seemed that the price was nearing its peak.

"One hundred million!"

Chu Fengmian suddenly spoke out.

These three brief words resounded like a startling thunderclap in the hearts of many.

One hundred million Spirit Stones, what a concept.

It was a number beyond what many people could even imagine.

"VIP Room No. 11, it’s Room No. 11 again!"

"Does this person truly have limitless wealth? To forcibly raise the bid by twenty million?"

Inside VIP Room No. 11.

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s bid, Elder Li nearly broke into a cold sweat.

Such an exorbitant price was no longer about offending others, but about whether Chu Fengmian could actually produce that amount.

One hundred million Spirit Stones was not a small sum even for their Tian Shang Association, and even with Chu Feng’s fortuitous encounters and acquired wealth, it would not be easy to come up with one hundred million Spirit Stones.

"Master Chu, are you really going to spend one hundred million Spirit Stones to purchase this Dragon Emperor’s Claw?"

Elder Li’s speech was somewhat stammering.

One hundred million Spirit Stones, even he had never considered such a number.

"Of course, I am determined to obtain this Dragon Emperor’s Claw."

Chu Fengmian replied calmly.

The auction hall fell silent.

VIP Rooms No. 3, No. 6, and No. 7 were all quiet, seemingly subdued by the staggering figure.

"Very well, the Dragon Emperor’s Claw now belongs to VIP Room No. 11."

With a grand wave of his hand, Spiritual Master Zhen Ren sent the colossal Dragon Emperor’s Claw flying directly toward VIP Room No. 11.
