King of Gods

Chapter 1431: Silently Making a Fortune

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

With a God Lord taking action, the Ancient Gods in the bidding war became somewhat more restrained. Every God Lord of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods could not be underestimated, and Xin Wuheng was incredibly young, presumably meaning that he had some powerful backer. Besides, this price far exceeded the actual price of the Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit.

In addition, the auction had just begun, so there was a chance that an object with a similar effect would be shown later on.

Suddenly, a raspy and teasing voice called, “Three hundred twenty thousand.”

Everyone turned to see who this was, but this mysterious figure was shrouded in pitch-black fog. However, everyone near this person sense a terrifying energy that made them involuntarily tremble.

In the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring, quite a few people would conceal their energy or obscure everything about themselves, just like this mysterious man in the pitch-black fog.

Zhao Feng couldn’t help but use his left eye to see through the fog. This mysterious bidder was clearly hostile to Xin Wuheng.

He was quickly able to make out the figure in the fog.

“God Lord Evil Spirits?” Zhao Feng couldn’t help but blurt out.

The person bidding against Xin Wuheng was a God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall, and he was none other than God Lord Evil Spirit, who Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng pushed back together some time ago.

“Three hundred thirty thousand!” Xin Wuheng’s expression darkened as he continued to bid.

“Three hundred forty thousand.”

“Three hundred fifty thousand!” Xin Wuheng’s face turned dark and furious, but he remained stubborn and apparently intent on getting his way.

“Heh, four hundred thousand!” God Lord Evil Spirit gave an evil chuckle. After a momentary pause, he continued to bid. In his view, Xin Wuheng had let the blood get to his head, and the Giant God Race appeared to have a burning desire for this resource and would not let it go so easily.

But to his surprise:

“Since you like it so much, I’ll give it to you.” Xin Wuheng suddenly calmed down and faintly smiled.

“This…” God Lord Evil Spirit was instantly struck dumb.

He was originally hiking the price intentionally so that Xin Wuheng would suffer a loss, but he never expected for Xin Wuheng to give up. It was now apparent that Xin Wuheng had been acting the whole time, and now, he was paying far more than the Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit was actually worth.

“Congratulations to Guest 405 for obtaining the Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit for a price of four hundred thousand!” The white-robed auctioneer smiled.

The Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit was only the appetizer for this auction. It was only worth around two hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals, but it had been auctioned off for a final price of four hundred thousand. This was already very surprising.

A second and third item were auctioned off, each of them extremely rare and precious, though not to the level of the Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit.

“We are now auctioning the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber, a supreme-quality divine artifact of rather decent quality. It contains the pure energy of golden flames and is incredibly powerful when used in attacks. It originates from the 21st ranked Blazing Gold Race!” the white-robed elder introduced.

Zhao Feng’s eyes flashed. This Blazing Cloud Divine Saber was one of the many supreme-quality divine artifacts he was auctioning off, and it was one of the better-quality ones. Although the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber could be considered an entire level lower than the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, it was actually a little higher when compared to the Spacetime Robe.

“Damn, that is…the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber!” A woman’s infuriated voice came from a blazing fire in the auction house.

“Heh, a Blazing Gold Race God Lord.” Zhao Feng’s left eye was able to see through the fiery light and spot the beautiful old woman within.

The Blazing Gold Race had three God Lords in all. With God Lord Fire Cloud dead, the only ones left were this old woman and the patriarch.

“Supreme-quality divine artifact Blazing Cloud Divine Saber! The bidding starts at one million, and each new bid must increase by at least ten thousand!” the white-robed elder announced.

Til pay one million twenty thousand!”

“One million forty!”

“1.1 million!”

“1.5 million!”

There were many cultivators of the Metal and Fire Dao. Thus, even if the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber was not of particularly high quality, there were still many people competing over it. In just a short while, the price of this supreme-quality divine artifact had reached one million five hundred thousand, and it was getting larger.

At this moment, the Blazing Gold Race God Lord stepped forward.

“Everyone, return this divine artifact to this elderly one. Two million!” The old woman spoke in a pleasant voice while also exuding scorching God Lord energy.

A supreme-quality divine artifact on the level of the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber only had a value of around one million seven hundred thousand. Since the Blazing Gold Race God Lord’s bid already exceeded the actual price, this request was not very excessive. In addition, she exuded her God Lord energy so that she could take back this divine artifact of the Blazing Gold Race for a somewhat smaller price.

When a God Lord spoke up, people would normally give them a little face. Moreover, the auction had only begun, and there would probably be many more supreme-quality divine artifacts. Thus, the vast majority of people gave up on bidding.

“2.1 million.” Zhao Feng faintly smiled, lowering the tone of his voice before speaking so that the other party couldn’t identify him.

“2.15 million!” The old woman’s eyes chilled.

After the war, the Blazing Gold Race had suffered severe damage to its middle and upper echelons. Thus, it truly required the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber, and this wasn’t even considering that the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber belonged to the Blazing Gold Race in the first place.

Moreover, she had already spoken out as a God Lord. The fact that someone was continuing to compete with her displeased her and made her even less willing to submit.

“2.2 million.” Zhao Feng immediately bid.

“Brother Feng, you’re so bad!” Zhao Yufei’s beautiful eyes flashed as she smiled. She naturally knew that Zhao Feng was the one to put up this item for auction.

“Hah, the other party bidding is a Blazing Gold Race God Lord. Otherwise, I would never do something like this.” After softly chuckling Zhao Feng stated another price; “2.4 million!”

“2.5 million!” The old woman was trembling in rage, and she wanted nothing more than to rush up there and see who exactly was competing with her.

Earlier, she had speculated that perhaps this bidder truly needed this divine artifact, but now, she was sure that this person was hostile to her and was intentionally raising the price.

I don’t think my identity was exposed… The old woman turned pensive. While bidding, she had also altered her voice.

This time, however, Zhao Feng did not continue bidding up the price. There was a danger to bidding up a price. If the old woman suddenly emulated Xin Wuheng and no longer wanted the divine artifact, it would be Zhao Feng who would suffer the loss.

Like this, the old woman used two million and five hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals to buy back the divine artifact that had originally belonged to the Blazing Gold Race.

“No rush. There are still many more to go!” Zhao Feng gave a dazzling smile. The supreme-quality divine artifacts he had put up for auction were almost all obtained from the half-step God Lords of the Blazing Gold Race.

There were many kinds of objects up for auction today, including pets, combat skills, pills, damaged maps, and much more. Quite a few of these objects ended up with prices far higher than the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber.

“Next up for bidding is one of the most precious treasures when it comes to comprehending Time Intent: Moonlight Sky Bamboo. This treasure contains pure Time Essence. Once consumed, one can slowly absorb the Time Essence and comprehend Time Intent. Moreover, it will also increase one’s ability to comprehend Time Intent!” the elder loudly proclaimed.

Zhao Feng’s expression shifted. If his guess was right, this piece of Moonlight Sky Bamboo should be the one that he had put up for auction.

Zhao Feng had obtained several pieces of Moonlight Sky Bamboo from the ruins, but he himself had only consumed one piece. When taking an herb for the second time, the effect would be reduced, so he had put one piece up for auction.

Zhao Feng couldn’t help but wonder what sort of price the Moonlight Sky Bamboo would reach.

“Moonlight Sky Bamboo!? Such a precious Time Intent cultivation resource!”

“I just so happened to hit a bottleneck in cultivating Time Intent! If I obtain this Moonlight Sky Bamboo, I’ll definitely be able to reach the next level!”

The appearance of the Moonlight Sky Bamboo had many experts in the auction house, including God Lords, rather tempted.

Although it was inferior in quality to something like the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber, it was so rare and so in demand that it became hotly contested.

Time Intent could counter almost all other Intents, and though it was rather difficult to cultivate, anyone with high enough cultivation, such as Ancient Gods or God Lords, would try and cultivate it.

Moreover, Moonlight Sky Bamboo could increase one’s ability to comprehend Time Intent. Even those with no talent in this path would be able to change themselves by consuming the Moonlight Sky Bamboo.

In addition, if one had just become a True God, taking the Moonlight Sky Bamboo would allow one to walk the Dao of Time and become an expert skilled in Time energy in the future.

“The starting price for Moonlight Sky Bamboo is six hundred thousand! Each bid must be higher than the next by at least ten thousand!” the white-robed elder announced.

“Six hundred twenty thousand!”

“I’ll pay six hundred thirty thousand!”

“Six hundred fifty thousand!”

A few moments later, the price of the Moonlight Sky Bamboo had risen to eight hundred thousand, and the number of bidders far exceeded that for any previous object. Eight God Lords were in the bidding war, with God Lord Evil Spirit being one of them.

“One million.” At this moment, a calm and elderly voice came from the guest box across from Zhao Feng.

To his surprise, Zhao Feng found this voice rather familiar.

“God Lord Verdant Origin.” Zhao Feng determined after some thought.

God Lord Verdant Origin was the God Lord of the Life Sacred Land who had presided over the peace negotiations between the Blazing Gold Race and Spiritual Race.

Zhao Feng would not lightly use his see-through ability on the people within the other guest boxes so as to avoid any unnecessary problems.

“God Lord Verdant OriginP”

“Life Sacred Land!”

The experts in the auction house all had some reputation, and quite a few of them knew God Lord Verdant Origin, so they were quick to identify him.

“Damn, the Life Sacred Land?” After some thought, a half-step God Lord decided to give up on the Moonlight Sky Bamboo.

The entrances to the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring were distributed across five major zones, and the Ziling Zone was one of these. Once the Life Sacred Land made a bid, the bidders from the Ziling Zone all gave up.

However, there were still experts from other zones who were reluctant to give up on the Moonlight Sky Bamboo and were prepared to make their own bids.

But at this moment, a dark and sinister voice came from a guest box not far from God Lord Verdant Origin; “1.1 million!”

To so unhesitantly oppose the Life Sacred Land and even increase the bid by one hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals… this action made many of the people in the auction house tremble and begin to guess at the faction within this guest box.

“Could it be the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land of the Antian Zone?”

“That’s very likely. The Life Sacred Land has never had a good relationship with the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land.”

Quite a few people began to whisper among themselves.

“1.2 million.” God Lord Verdant Origin calmly increased the bid by another one hundred thousand.

Almost a moment later, that deep and wicked voice resounded, “1.3 million!”

“Hah, the people of the Life Sacred Land are engaging in a naked bidding war. They truly have no regard for ttie Fallen Heaven Sacred Land!” Within the guest box was a slender figure, a middle-aged man with white skin covered in black stripes, who was quietly chuckling to himself.

“If they want the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, they’ll have to pay at least double the price!” A black-robed woman next to the man giggled.

“1.6 million.”

“1.65 million!”

At this moment, the Moonlight Sky Bamboo far exceeded its original price.

“I didn’t think that something that I put up for auction would be so hotly contested!” Inside his guest box, Zhao Feng was pleasantly surprised.
