National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 850 Market Extraordinary Transactions

On the inner side of the Heavenly Market, in the totem pole area that had been completely isolated from the rest of the market by Song Chi since its appearance, Song Chi's gaze was fixed on the three fundamental totem poles in front of him.

Unlike before, one of the three [Great Dao Origin Totem Pole] has now completely dimmed, and the faint patterns of the Great Dao rules on the entire totem pole have completely disappeared.

"Give it a try..."

With a muttered command, he waved his hand to mobilize the phantom energy within his body, and quickly extracted a trace from the drop of [Time Source Liquid] in his hand, about one ten-thousandth of it.

With the control of the psionic energy, this tiny fraction of the Time Source Liquid slowly drifted toward the dim [Origin Totem Pole] in front of him.

【Name: The Origin of the Great Dao Totem Pole】

[Status: Source exhausted]

Cooldown time: 9989 years

……

With his eyes fully focused, Song Chi immediately noticed the change in the properties of the Great Dao Origin Totem Pole. That one ten-thousandth of the [Time Source Liquid] had indeed shortened its cooldown time by 10 years.

This means that the [Time Source Liquid] is effective not only on the Star Sea Wonders, but also on this [Great Dao Origin Totem Pole].

Upon receiving this result, Song Chi was overjoyed.

This [Great Dao Origin Totem Pole] was the one he had previously used to fight against those three mythical beings. He was initially a little reluctant to part with it, but now it seems that this investment was indeed a great success.

However, he did not rush to use the Time Source Liquid to shorten the time of the Great Dao Origin Totem Pole. Although he only needed to use one percent of the Time Source Liquid, this kind of thing, which is more precious than the Time Source Crystal, is hard to come by and cannot be used recklessly.

Moreover, two of the three Great Dao Origin Totem Pillars are still usable, which is enough to cope with any unexpected events.

……

The marketplace of the heavens was teeming with people.

On the market trading day, which comes once a month, the entire market is always bustling with activity.

Compared to previous trading days, today's Zhutian Market is several times more bustling. The reason is simple: right now, in the center of the most crowded free market area, a ninth-tier peak Titan giant from the Batian tribe is holding an ultra-high-level free auction.

How high are the specifications?

Although the ninth-tier Titan only had one item for auction, it emitted a seven-colored light.

[Strange Object: Core of Origin]

[Quality: Color/Extreme]

[Can be converted to: {Origin Power Overclocking Engine}]

[Note: This artifact originated from the core of a small star that once fell onto the mythical origin star. After being nurtured by the power of origin for countless years, it finally transformed into a seven-colored mythical wonder.]

……

Origin Power Overclocking Engine lv0
Quality: Color/Extreme
Feature: Engine power supply efficiency increased by 270%
Feature 2: Engine thrust increased by an additional 270%
Feature 3: Energy pool capacity tripled

Feature 4: Origin Power Backup Energy Pool
Feature 5: All components mounted on the warship with a quality lower than this engine consume 10% less energy.
Feature 6: Dual Engine

Feature 7: Overclocking Burst

Characteristic 8: Balance

Feature 9: Origin of the scour

……

To be honest, even Song Chi was extremely envious of this colorful extreme position engine component.

Compared to the two engines currently installed on the Sky Ruins, the [Origin Power Overclocking Engine] is far superior in terms of attributes. If it can be acquired, the Sky Ruins will no longer need to worry about energy supply, let alone upgrading to a Mythical Immortal Ship, or even an eleventh-tier Fireship.

Unfortunately, the demands made by the ninth-tier Titan who produced this extraordinary artifact were simply unacceptable to him.

"I said, I only trade resources that help you advance to the tenth-tier mythic level. If not, don't waste your time..."

Behind the trading platform in the center of the free market area, the voice of the ninth-tier Titan was like thunder. The next second, the hammer-shaped artifact that also emitted a seven-colored light was thrown directly back into its original owner's hands.

The being who produced this seven-colored hammer-shaped artifact was a ninth-tier True Spirit Wizard under the jurisdiction of a certain Tower of Rules in the Wizarding Civilization, whose strength had also reached the peak of the ninth tier.

The seven-colored artifact in his hand, the Heaven-Shaking Divine Hammer, was equally precious and perfectly suited to the Titan race, whose physical bodies were extraordinary. Unfortunately, it still failed to move this ninth-tier Titan of the Overlord Tribe.

Sighs echoed from the surrounding alien races, and many powerful individuals from advanced civilizations showed expressions of regret.

How rare are the resources that help one break through to the tenth tier of mythology? Even those super powers with long-standing traditions would never easily offer them up for trade.

Song Chi was not surprised by this result.

The resources that help one break through to the mythical realm are extremely rare, and over the years, when has he not tried to purchase them at high prices under the identity of "Lord of the Greedy Wolf Palace of the Fire of Civilization"?
Isn't it the same as gaining nothing at all?

Just when he thought this high-profile transaction would ultimately fail to sell, another unexpected event occurred during the auction.

Suddenly, the ninth-tier Titan let out a low roar, and a dazzling golden light reappeared in its palm.

[Rare Item: Titan's Blood]

[Quality: Color/Lower Grade]

[Unique Effect: Contains the ancestral blood essence of the first Titan King of the Overlord Tribe, and contains a trace of the origin of the rules of power, which can help the absorber comprehend and control the laws and rules of power.]

[Note: This item is unique to the Batian tribe and has never been lost over countless years. After enduring the test of time, it has transformed into a mythical artifact.]

The two treasures floated in the air at the same time, the seven-colored [Core of Origin] and the three-colored [Titan Ancestral Blood] shining brightly, causing the entire market to tremble.

"Add this to the list!"

The ninth-tier Titan's voice boomed like thunder as his gaze swept across the entire arena.

"I will exchange two supreme treasures for an opportunity that can help me break through to the tenth tier of mythical status!"

These words caused an instant uproar in the market.

"Heavens! A seven-colored energy core and Titan blood, are they really willing to trade them away?"

"It seems this Titan has really been stuck at the peak of the ninth tier for too long, otherwise he would never have even brought out his ancestral blood..."

"Even so, how easy is it to obtain the resources needed to break through to the mythical realm?"

While countless alien races were discussing this, two people actually stepped out from the crowd.

In an instant, Song Chi's eyes flickered uncertainly.

He knew all too well what it meant by showing up at this moment.

'Could there really be resources that can help one reach Mythic status?'

Before anyone could think, two figures emerged from the bustling crowd, and the entire market fell silent instantly.

The person on the left was wearing a star-patterned robe, with a purple moon branded between his brows, and surrounded by a faint but powerful ninth-tier aura—clearly, he was also a ninth-tier expert.

On the right was a seventh-tier half-rat-man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks. Song Chi was very familiar with this being. As a regular visitor to the market for over ten thousand years, Song Chi had a deep impression of him.

Behind the opponent is the Divine Realm Continent. It first appeared in the market and was only at the third level. Now, it has unknowingly grown into a seventh-level ruler.

However, Song Chi wasn't concerned with any of that right now. His only interest was whether the other party truly possessed any super-tier resources to aid in breaking through to the Mythic level. "I have the 'Tears of the Star Core,' which can help you briefly glimpse the threshold between the Ninth Tier and the Mythic level."

A drop of liquid, as dazzling as a diamond, appeared in the palm of the powerful figure in the Starry Sky Robe, with what appeared to be a flowing river of stars within it.

"Heh, the Tears of the Star Core can only temporarily boost comprehension, and the success rate of the boost is less than 20%."

The ninth-tier Titan hummed sarcastically, having taken out two supreme treasures, clearly looking down on the Star Core Tear.

As His gaze fell upon the half-ratman, the seventh-tier half-ratman raised his hand and summoned a jet-black fruit.

"What I hold in my hand is the 'Abyss God's Metamorphosis Fruit,' grown from the evil god's blood sprayed after the fall of the Abyss Demon God. Consuming it can increase the success rate of breaking through to the Mythical realm by 30%. As for the price..."

The seventh-tier half-ratman didn't finish speaking, but the ninth-tier Titan clearly knew about the [Abyss God Transformation Fruit] and its side effects; a struggle flashed in His eyes.

While the Tears of the Star Core are gentle, their effects are limited.
While the Abyss God's Metamorphosis Fruit is more potent, it may tempt Him to the Demon God, ultimately turning Him into a puppet of the bottomless abyss.

Just as He hesitated, a few strange thoughts flashed through Song Chi's mind.

After seeing the [Abyss God Transformation Fruit], he was finally certain of some information about the [God Realm Continent] behind the half-rat people.

After he obtained an Abyss Demon from the Abyss Origin Stone provided by the other party, he suspected that the Divine Realm Continent might have faced an invasion from the Bottomless Abyss. Now it seems that the invasion from the Abyss can be confirmed.

Moreover, the key point is that the size of this divine continent is significantly larger than he had previously guessed. A floating continent that could survive the invasion from the depths and that most likely even caused the fall of the Abyss Demon God must be at least a tenth-level star continent.

Just as his thoughts were racing, the ninth-tier Titan of the Overlord Tribe finally gave a reply.

"Alright, I'll trade the Abyss God Transformation Fruit!"

As he spoke, He first tossed the drop of [Titan Ancestral Blood] to the seventh-tier half-ratman. After the half-ratman also handed the [Abyss God Metamorphosis Fruit] to Him, the [Core of Origin] was then thrown out as a last resort.

Seeing the transaction, which had been going on for several hours, suddenly completed so decisively, the surrounding alien races were all in an uproar, feeling as if it were unreal.

However, Song Chi had anticipated this.

While the allure of the Abyss Demon God is terrifying, don't forget that the Titan race's mental strength is already formidable. Furthermore, the Overlord Tribe once traded the Primordial Emperor Insect's Amber for the Star River Soul Network from him.

A multicolored artifact capable of binding the souls of tens of thousands of high-ranking Titans, and with the Batian tribe already having a mythical Titan king in charge, Song Chi did not believe that this ninth-rank Titan would be misled by the abyss demon god.

Since even an outsider like him understands this, the ninth-tier Titan himself needs no further explanation.

Song Chi even guessed that the other party was deliberately pretending to be in a difficult position in order to prevent the seventh-order half-rat from going back on his word.

After the transaction was completed, the surrounding alien races quickly dispersed.

However, Song Chi, the master of the Heavenly Market, focused all his attention on the alien in the Starry Robe.

Although this person is also a ninth-order ruler, he is not a regular customer of the market, but rather someone who is making his first appearance in this market transaction.

Song Chi was unaware of the other party's identity, and it had nothing to do with any concealment. As the master of the Zhutianxu Market, no matter what kind of concealment the other party made, it would be of no use to him.

What Song Chi didn't recognize was the other party's race.

There is absolutely no record of this kind of creature in the Archives of Civilization.

The Broken Star Sea is vast, and even the ten dominant civilizations of today can hardly claim to have explored every corner of it. This is not uncommon.

Oh oh oh!
The power of the market myth flowed through him, and as it brushed against his body, Song Chi transformed back into his original form.

More precisely—【Civilization of the Torch, Palace of the Big Dipper, Lord of the Greedy Wolf Star, Song Chi】

This means that he is acting under the identity of Song Chi of the Longji Song Clan.

"Please stay!"

Hearing the call from behind, the figure in the Starry Robe paused.

Just as He turned around, Song Chi seized the opportunity and went to meet him.

"Hello, let me introduce myself first. I am Song Chi, a ninth-order superdimensional captain of the Shattered Star Sea Overlord-level Torch Civilization."

"Starry Sky and Moon Eternal Universe Civilization - Yuefeng".

"The Star Moon Eternal Universe Civilization?" Song Chi's eyes darted around as he rapidly searched his mind for this unfamiliar name.

A moment later, he was certain that he had never heard of any information related to it, including the database on the Sky Ruins Sky, deep within his brow, which contained no information about this civilization whatsoever.

"Lord Yuefeng, may I have a word with you in private?" Song Chi smiled slightly, and a special fragment of gold and stone appeared in his palm.

“I am very interested in the ‘Tear of the Star Core’ in your possession.”

Yuefeng's purple-moon-like eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment of silence, he nodded: "Alright."

The two figures flashed and disappeared into the bustling free market area. When they reappeared, they were in a quiet room on the first floor of the market inn.

The inn rooms in the market town are designed to keep out all prying eyes.

"Your Excellency, would you be willing to part with the 'Tears of the Star Core' in your possession?" Song Chi asked bluntly.

Yuefeng shook his head:

“This item is equally precious to my race. If the [Core of Origin] that the Titan took out had not been truly extraordinary, I would not have taken it out.”

Song Chi was not surprised. He lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, and a wisp of psionic energy flowed in his palm.

The next second, the fragment of gold and stone reappeared in his hand.

Upon seeing this fragment of gold and stone, a subtle glint appeared in Yuefeng's eyes. Although he concealed it well, how could he hide it from Song Chi?

This fragment of gold and stone is also a product of the Origin Star. Strictly speaking, it is a "fragment of the rules of gold," containing a wisp of the origin of the rules of gold.

Yuefeng's gaze was fixed on the fragment of gold and stone in Song Chi's palm, her purple-moon-like pupils slightly contracting.

"This is."

His voice showed a rare slight fluctuation.

Song Chi's lips curled into a slight smile:

"Fragments of the Rules of Gold".

The air in the room seemed to freeze for a moment.

Yue Feng took a deep breath, and his star-patterned robes fluttered even without wind.
"Where did you get it?"

"That's not important!!!"

Song Chi lightly twirled his fingertips, and the fragments of gold and stone flew around in his palm.

"The important thing is that its value to you is no less than that drop of 'Star Core Tear'."

Yuefeng's breathing became noticeably more rapid, and the purple moon mark between his brows flickered slightly.

"You want the Tears of the Star Core?" His voice was low and restrained.

Song Chi deliberately dragged out the last syllable and stared directly at the other person.

"You know that, don't you!"
