Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 133 Overlord Spear

More than three hours later.

"Everyone!"

A clear voice rang out instantly, echoing throughout the entire auction hall, and the vast auction hall fell silent.

Yang Wu looked toward the center of the auction hall.

A bald old man carrying a black tortoise shell appeared in the center of the auction hall. Above him was a nearly 1,000-meter-tall "virtual projection" of the bald old man.

"Welcome everyone to this year's Qianwu Auction. Thank you to Virtual Universe Company, Universe First Bank, Universe Galaxy Bank, Giant Axe Arena, Universe Mercenary Alliance, and Qianwu Universe Kingdom for their strong support."

The bald old man smiled and said, "This year's auction has attracted an astonishing 1316039 participants. Thank you all again for your enthusiastic support! I believe most of you here recognize me. I am Old Barto, and I, Old Barto, will once again be hosting this grand event!"

"Enough with the small talk. As usual, before the official auction begins, let's have an auction to warm things up."

After speaking, the bald old man pointed to the side, and a huge screen immediately appeared next to him. On the screen was an exquisite ring, and next to the ring was a clear liquid that was faintly emitting a chill.

"This is 100,000 cubic meters of Locke Divine Water, stored in a small spatial ring!"

"Lock's Divine Water is named after Locke, a super being among humanity from the distant, infinitely ancient past. It possesses incredibly astonishing life force and can be used to cultivate plant life and to heal the body."

"In short, anything that can absorb life force can use this Locke Divine Water. The life force contained in Locke Divine Water is of an extremely high level, even stronger than that of the Fruit of Life. It has an astonishing effect even on immortal-level plant life."

"The value of the Rock Divine Water is extremely high, and it is incredibly difficult to collect. Countless powerful individuals have perished because of this limited amount of Rock Divine Water, making it extremely precious."

"Now everyone, start bidding!" the bald old man, Old Barto, shouted. "100,000 cubic meters of Locke Divine Water, starting price 200 Mixed Yuan Units, each bid must be an integer multiple of Mixed Yuan Units."

Before the bald old man finished speaking, a line of numbers appeared on the large screen next to him: "500 Mixed Yuan Units".

Clearly, there is an extremely wealthy individual who intends to seize this first portion of Locke's Divine Water.

Perhaps it was because the Locke Divine Water was simply too precious that the price of 500 Mixed Yuan Units did not deter others.

Other strong contenders also began to offer their bids.

"550 Mixed Yuan Units!" "600 Mixed Yuan Units!"

The price of Locke's Divine Water is skyrocketing.

"What a pity that the Locke Divine Water isn't sold separately. Otherwise, I could have auctioned some off, which would have greatly increased the probability of my auxiliary plant life breaking through to the World Lord level!"

At this moment, a powerful realm master sitting on the huge throne to Yang Wu's left said regretfully.

"Yes!" The companion beside the realm lord nodded in agreement, "If this 100,000 cubic meters of Locke Divine Water were divided into hundreds of portions, perhaps we could afford it!"

"You're overthinking it!" said another powerful figure beside the two. "This Locke Divine Water has an evolutionary effect even on immortal-level plant life forms; it's simply not something we Realm Lords can afford to auction off!"

"I've attended tens of thousands of these Dry Witch Auctions, and I've seen Locke's Divine Water thousands of times, but I've never seen anything with a volume of less than ten thousand cubic meters!"

……

"Rock Magic Water?"

The appearance of this auction item suddenly reminded Yang Wu of a scene from the original novel.

Back when Luo Feng was a Domain Lord-level official who was sent to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom as an Inspector Envoy, he encountered a large slave trader named Pansy while completing a mission that yielded the highest score.

Pansy seemed to possess an astonishing amount of Locke Divine Water, and had even cultivated two World Lord level 9 plant life forms using Locke Divine Water.

Could Yang Wu then make a move against the other party in advance?

However, Yang Wu quickly dismissed the idea.

Pansy has two ninth-tier World Lord plant life support plants. To successfully defeat her opponent, at least an Immortal God would need to intervene.

However, given Yang Wu's current strength and status, he simply cannot persuade an immortal god. Even if he could, it would be difficult for Yang Wu to obtain Panxi's spoils of war.

Therefore, it would be better to let the Locke Divine Water stay with Pansy for a while longer, and then make a move when we are strong enough.

As Yang Wu was pondering, the auction for Locke's Divine Water was nearing its end.

The rate at which the numbers on the large screen next to the bald old man were rising began to slow down.

832...841...845...

Ultimately, the bid settled on 851 mixed units.

"851 Mixed Yuan Units, countdown three seconds, 3, 2, 1... Congratulations to guest number KBD69496 for winning this 100,000 cubic meter volume of Locke Divine Water."

"The warm-up is over." The bald old man, Old Barto, announced in an incredibly loud voice, "Now, this year's Qianwu Auction officially begins!"

The sound was thunderous, like that of a god.

The center of the auction hall instantly became dazzling, and the powerful figures sitting in the huge seats around it also became excited.

"The first batch of auction items will now be auctioned. On the auction token, everyone can see the one thousand items that will be auctioned. If you are interested in purchasing, please be prepared."

The bald old man shouted, "Now for the first item—the 'Kiwi Fruit,' a special fruit that can lay the foundation for plant life. This is a very magical fruit with very gentle effects. It can lay the foundation for most plant seedlings, giving your assisted plant life greater growth potential from the seedling stage!"

"A special fruit called 'Kiwi Fruit,' a total of 81, with a starting price of 3000 billion cosmic coins! The highest bidder of the 81st round will win the 'Kiwi Fruit' with its magical effects."

As soon as Old Barto finished speaking, many people in the auction hall began to place bids.

The effects of the kiwi fruit are similar to those of the green kiwi fruit that Yang Wu bought earlier, only the price is much lower.

Taking the Moyun Vine as an example, the same Moyun Vine seedling can be sold for trillions of cosmic coins, hundreds of billions of Qianwu coins, or only hundreds of billions of Black Dragon coins.

This is because of the different foundational cultivation methods used at the beginning. A seedling of the Cloud Vine, worth hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coins, would probably only reach the cosmic level at its peak. However, a seedling of the Cloud Vine, worth trillions of cosmic coins, could easily reach the World Lord level, and even have the opportunity to break through to the Immortal level.

However, Yang Wu had already purchased the Green Luo Fruit, so naturally he was no longer interested in this strange fruit.

Items were auctioned off one after another, like flowing water. Each one was snapped up by the crowd, and there was absolutely no possibility of them going unsold.

Even the lowest transaction price is in the tens of billions of cosmic coins, and the auction price for ordinary goods can reach hundreds of billions of cosmic coins.

Such prices are perfectly normal. After all, those who can participate in the auction all have at least ten trillion cosmic coins in savings. It's perfectly normal for them to spend hundreds of billions to buy goods they can't normally afford.

……

"Lan Ke fruit is one of the best items for cultivating spirit beasts and plant life. Even if you are seriously injured, eating Lan Ke fruit will have some healing effect."

"One unit is 100 Lanco Fruits. There are 37 units of Lanco Fruits here. The minimum bid for each unit is 1000 billion Cosmic Coins."

Yang Wu's eyes lit up when he saw the Lan Ke fruit appearing at the auction.

Although he purchased two units of Lanco Fruit through the Universe First Bank, the price might be cheaper at the auction.

Sure enough, after a short while, the price of the Lanco Fruit stopped at around 1800 billion, which was much more cost-effective than Yang Wu spending 2000 billion cosmic coins to buy it through the First Cosmic Bank.

Therefore, Yang Wu directly used the black tokens to bid between 1820 billion and 1850 billion to buy five units of Lan Ke Fruit.

The auction items were dazzling, and any one of them could cause a frenzy among domain lord-level powerhouses.

Suddenly—

A Force weapon appeared on the giant screen next to the old man in the tortoise shell—a fiery red spear with an extremely ancient design. Just seeing the phantom of this spear, everyone felt an overwhelming aura of dominance.

But when Yang Wu saw the spear, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

"The next item up for auction is the Overlord Spear, known as a divine weapon for martial artists!"

"The Overlord Spear is one of the divine weapons of martial arts, forged by an unparalleled expert by fusing the two fundamental laws of 'fire' and 'space' with supreme spear techniques. I believe everyone is well aware of its power."

"Many martial artists at the peak of the Realm Lord level, after breaking through to the level of comprehending the fundamental laws, always need to constantly replace their weapons with better ones made of primal force. But if you possess this Overlord Spear, you'll never have to worry about that again!"

"The Overlord Spear has nine forms in total. You don't need to worry about its power being insufficient; your only concern is whether you can wield it effectively!"

"If someone could unleash the ninth form, they would be able to dominate the boundless universe. Not only among the major human cosmic nations, but also among other mechanical races, demon races, and even cosmic behemoths, you would find it difficult to find a match!"

The bald old man announced loudly, "Alright, let's begin the bidding. There are eight Overlord Spears in total. The eight highest bids will win this treasure. Starting price—5000 billion cosmic coins!"

"A martial arts divine weapon? The Overlord Spear?"

Yang Wu looked at the phantom image of the Force weapon displayed on the huge screen next to the old man with a puzzled expression, and then clicked on the detailed introduction of the Overlord Spear on the black token in his hand.

He knew very well that he would be using one of the nine divine weapons, the "Ninefold Chaotic Evolution," for a long time to come.

But Yang Wu had never heard of a martial arts divine weapon before.

After reading the introduction and recalling the description of Chi Yan, Yang Wu finally understood what a martial arts divine weapon was.
