King of Gods

“Next up for auction is a fragment of a supreme Ancestral Artifact!”

The moment the white-robed elder spoke, the raucous auction house became deathly still.

“It’s finally about to appear!” God Lord Heavenly Solitude muttered, his body concealed beneath a black mantle.

“Just what sort of Ancestral Artifact fragment is it?” The members of the Life Sacred Land turned serious.

On the other side, the members of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land couldn’t help but stand up and look at the stage. They had learned that an Ancestral Artifact fragment would appear at the Divine Kingdom Auction, but no one knew what kind it was.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were gathered on the stage.

The Rank Nine Ancient God beauty next to the white-robed elder took out a golden box. At this moment, even her hands were trembling.

The moment the box was opened, a dark red gout of flame burst out. The temperature in the auction house instantly increased, and the small number of Rank Eight Ancient Gods instantly felt like their bodies were melting.

At the same time, the Time Ancestral Artifact fragment within Zhao Feng’s interspatial dimension trembled.

This is…?” Zhao Feng’s eye pierced through the layers of Fire energy so that he could get a clear look at the object within the box.

This was a golden-red feather, its surface covered in bright-red flame carvings. There was a dark red flame slowly burning at the end of it, exuding the dreadful energy of a Fire Law.

Even Zhao Feng felt an enormous desire for this feather at this point. After all, he cultivated Fire Intent as well. Even though he had already one Ancestral Artifact fragment, this sort of thing was something that no one would mind having more of.

“A fragment of the Ancestral Artifact Blazing Hell!” God Lord Heavenly Solitude was startled, his pitch-black eyes glimmering.

“Could this feather be from Blazing Hell?”

“The supreme Ancestral Artifact of the Ancient Era’s Golden Crow Race?”

“To think that it would be a fragment of such a powerful Ancestral Artifact!”

Those old monsters in the auction house who had lived for tens to hundreds of millions of years were extremely well- leamed and instantly recognized the origin of this feather.

“This Ancestral Artifact fragment originates from the supreme Ancestral Artifact of the Golden Crow Race, Blazing Hell. It contains the purest Law of Fire, and the Fire energy it holds is not an ordinary fire, but Golden Crow Flame!” The white-robed elder took in a deep breath before slowly speaking.

“Hurry and start!” There were already some in the auction house who were ready to start bidding.

This fragment from Blazing Hell was of abnormally high quality. In addition, Fire Laws were extremely commonly-used laws. The majority of the God Lords present could use this Ancestral Artifact fragment as they pleased.

But even if one cultivated an energy different from the energy contained in the Ancestral Artifact fragment, no one could refuse the temptation of an Ancestral Artifact fragment.

“The starting price of the Ancestral Artifact fragment is twenty million. Each new bid must be at least one hundred thousand higher than the previous!” the white-robed elder loudly announced.

The starting price of the Ancestral Artifact fragment was already twenty million. Some of the less wealthy God Lords didn’t even have the ability to call out a bid.

Although this was a shocking price, the auctioneer had barely finished speaking when someone called out a bid. “Twenty-one million!”

“Twenty-three million!”

“Twenty-four million!”

One shout after another filled the auction house.

The Ancestral Artifact fragment was priceless, and there were some God Lords who were even willing to give up everything they owned. And some of the guest boxes which had been hitherto silent also began to issue bids.

At this moment, Zhao Feng sensed almost ten new God Lord auras, the majority on par with God Lord Verdant Origin and one or two that were several times stronger.

The five Sacred Lands had many God Lords, and all of them were taking part.

A few moments later, the price of the Ancestral Artifact fragment had reached forty million.

But even at that price, the number of bidders did not significantly decrease. A single Ancestral Artifact fragment was far too precious. Any God Lord who had one would be able to dominate those of the same level and even challenge those a level higher.

“It seems like a lot of people came purely for the Ancestral Artifact fragment.” Zhao Feng couldn’t help but be shocked.

“Fifty million!” a God Lord called out in agitation. But even this price was instantly drowned out by other God Lords.

Most of the crowd in the auction house were only spectators to this bidding war, but all of them still felt extremely passionate and agitated.

“Sixty million!”

“Sixty-three million!”

Finally, when the Ancestral Artifact fragment reached this price, the number of people bidding suddenly dropped.

“Damn! Bidding for the Divine Kingdom earlier took a significant amount of our funds!” The white-skinned black- striped man of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land was somewhat unwilling.

By the time the price of the Ancestral Artifact fragment reached eighty million, only a few powerful factions were left.

All of them were very cautious when making bids now. After all, eighty million high-quality God Crystals was no small number. Even the Second Heaven God Lords of the Sacred Lands had to be careful when making bids.

“One hundred million!” A hoarse and sinister voice suddenly came from down below.

The auction house instantly fell silent. Everyone turned to stare at a mysterious person whose features were obscured by a black mantle.

The previous bid was eighty-three million, but now, this person had brought the price straight to one hundred million! Even the five Sacred Lands became hesitant.

“One hundred million and one hundred thousand!” A Spacetime Sacred Land God Lord made a bid.

“One hundred ten million!” The mysterious man made his bid.

The Spacetime Sacred Land only added one hundred thousand, but this mysterious man added ten million! All the Sacred Lands instantly put an end to any idea of getting the fragment.

Although they had given up on the bidding war, everyone wanted to see just who this mysterious man under the black mantle was.

“Just who is that?”

“Not even Sacred Lands were able to outbid him!”

Many people in the auction house turned to look at this mysterious man. But even the Divine Sense of a Second Heaven God Lord was repelled, unable to see the face within.

“This voice… is rather familiar!” Zhao Feng activated his left eye and focused. Gradually, his gaze pierced through the black mantle.

Suddenly, the person underneath the black mantle turned to Zhao Feng and coldly snorted. Zhao Feng instantly felt his soul tremble.

“God Lord Heavenly Solitude!” Zhao Feng’s heart thumped as he immediately looked away.

He hadn’t expected for God Lord Heavenly Solitude to be the one to obtain the Ancestral Artifact fragment in the end. It was evident that the faction behind him was not simple at all.

With the Ancestral Artifact fragment sold, the Divine Kingdom Auction gradually approached its end. The treasures following could not compare to the Ancestral Artifact fragment, but they were still rather valuable.

“Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng! It can increase the chances of a half-step God Lord breaking into the God Lord level by around twenty percent. If an Ancient God takes it, it will greatly increase their cultivation.” As the white-robed elder announced this precious plant, many half-step God Lords in the auction house felt their hearts thump.

Although it was only twenty percent, even ten percent would have half-step God Lords fighting over themselves to get their hands on it.

There were three Heaven Void God Origin Ginsengs up for auction.

“There really was something like this!” Zhao Feng had a joyful look on his face.

The starting price of the Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng was 1.5 million, but the price shortly soared to three million. “3.2 million!” Zhao Feng made his move.

“3.52 million!”

“3.65 million!”

Zhao Feng was determined to obtain this plant, and he had gained an immense number of God Crystals from this auction, so he was completely confident! In the end, Zhao Wan succeeded in obtaining the first Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng for 4.3 million.

The bidding war went much more smoothly than Zhao Feng expected. After all, the Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng could only increase the chances of becoming a God Lord by twenty percent. Above three million, it was no longer cost- effective. Moreover, in this final phase of the auction, the various factions had used up most of their funds, some of them having been completely emptied out.

One could say that Zhao Feng had found a small loophole.

“Damn! I’ll definitely get the second one!” Although Zhao Feng had gotten the first one, there were still two more, and many experts were readying for the second bidding war.

“The second Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng has a starting price of 1.5 million. Each new bid must be ten thousand higher than the last!”

The white-robed elder just finished speaking. There was no slow build-up of price.

“4.3 million!” Zhao Feng said. He was saving time this way.

“Damn, that person again!”

“He’s already gotten one, but he’s not even letting go of the second one?”

Quite a few people in the auction house were infuriated by this.

“4.35 million!” someone yelled out in rage.

“Brother Feng, you’ve already gotten one Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng. Why are you still bidding?” Zhao Yufei was somewhat confused.

“For you.” Zhao Feng faintly smiled.

The Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng was a treasure that could increase the chances of becoming a God Lord. Its quality far exceeded the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, so Zhao Feng could not duplicate it. Besides, he had made quite a lot of money, so he might as well continue bidding.

In the end, Zhao Feng obtained the second Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng for a price of 4.9 million.

The experts in the auction house believed that Zhao Feng would stop here, but for the third Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng, Zhao Feng once more entered the bidding war, eventually obtaining it for the price of six million.

Once the auction was over, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei walked out, once again attracting the attention of many. But only a few people knew that Zhao Feng was one who had bought three Heaven Void God Origin Ginsengs in a row.

“Xin Wuheng!” After traveling some distance, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei found Xin Wuheng.

“Zhao Feng! Zhao Yufei?” Xin Wuheng was rather surprised.

The three of them went to a high-end tea house within the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring.

“How is it? How is the Giant God Race doing?” Zhao Feng inquired.

Although Xin Wuheng had obtained many precious resources from the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, most of them were Time Intent related. Moreover, the Giant God Race would need some time until it could reach a level where it could fight against Ancient Soul Hall.

“It’s okay. The Giant God Race is much stronger than it was in the past, and we’re in the middle of recruiting soldiers.” Xin Wuheng thought for a moment before speaking.

The Giant God Race had once controlled Ancient Soul Hall, and there were quite a few factions back then who were devotedly loyal to the Giant God Race. Since the Giant God Race had not shown the strength to oppose Ancient Soul Hall, these factions didn’t dare to recklessly assist it. But now, Xin Wuheng had become a God Lord, and the Giant God Race was rapidly strengthening, as was its faction.

“Some time ago, the Spiritual Race fought a war with the Blazing Gold Race. I collected quite a few spoils from the battlefield. I was originally planning to auction them off, but the Divine Kingdom Auction is too high-class and paid these things no regard. If you have any use for them, you can take them.” Zhao Feng took out an interspatial dimension and placed it on the stone table.

Inside were many average-quality and high-quality divine artifacts, as well as many low-level resources. These were useless to Zhao Feng, and the Divine Kingdom Auction House had refused to take them, but they could be of enormous help to Xin Wuheng and the Giant God Race.

“Then I won’t be polite.” Xin Wuheng took them, making no attempt to refuse.

The three of them freely chatted for half a day before parting.

Three days later, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei followed the Spiritual Race’s Second Elder and left the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring.

Everyone who had come to the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring this time came away with a significant harvest. Upon returning, the majority entered seclusion.

Within the Spacetime Robe:

“Let’s try again to reach Level Nine Space Intent!” Zhao Feng’s eyes sank.

Only when one reached Level Nine in an Intent could one be considered a half-step God Lord.
