The divine pill emerged, shaking all present!
This was exactly what Elder Zhen desired, a method he had long mastered.
"Next, the auction begins!"
"The starting bid is 100 million low-grade divine crystals, with increments no less than 10 million!"
Elder Zhen, acting with impeccable timing, reignited the fervor of the auction. It was impossible not to be excited by such a miraculous item.
"100 million!"
"500 million!"
Soon, the bids soared to a billion. After all, in the face of breaking through, mere low-grade divine crystals seemed less important. Every realm above Divine King was incredibly difficult to advance, and with such a pill, they could save tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of years.
"2 billion."
A calm voice echoed, drawing peculiar glances from everyone towards a certain private box. Even Gong Cangtian and Luo Tianyi inside the box were taken aback.
*Crunch*
The mythical beast Bai Ze, after swallowing a divine crystal, glanced at its master. "Master, you're so shameless~~"
Though young, its intelligence was high, even surpassing that of adults. It naturally understood what its nominal master was doing.
"2.1 billion!"
From the Ning family's private box, Ning Louyue narrowed her eyes. This was her first bid.
"3 billion!"
As Ning Louyue's voice faded, a voice emerged from another private box. After this bid, the auction hall fell silent, indicating that this price was beyond the reach of most forces.
*Gulp*
Gong Cangtian couldn't help but swallow upon hearing the final bid. Good heavens, just one [King-grade Divine Breaking Pill] had fetched such an astonishing price. He couldn't imagine what would happen next.
"Next, the second highlight of the auction."
At this moment, Gong Cangtian's gaze flickered towards Ye Xuan's private box. That last move had truly shocked him. My, that young friend was ruthless.
As two more pills appeared on stage, the already fervent crowd was further ignited.
"What!"
"It's... two [King-grade Divine Breaking Pills]!!"
The entire hall was stunned.
"Heh heh, you all see correctly."
"The second highlight of the auction is indeed two [King-grade Divine Breaking Pills]!!"
He smiled, looking out at the crowd, then continued, "The starting bid is 200 million low-grade divine crystals. These are the last two."
"2 billion!"
Ye Xuan spoke without hesitation, setting the price. Those who were about to bid were nearly choked, as this move instantly eliminated at least ninety-five percent of the potential buyers.
"3 billion!"
The entity that had purchased the previous [King-grade Divine Breaking Pill] made another bid, but it was clear that for two divine pills, this amount was insufficient.
"3.5 billion!"
Ning Louyue in the Ning family's private box was visibly unsettled. If she acquired this pill, it would undoubtedly allow the Ning family to recover its vitality in the shortest possible time.
"4 billion!"
At this moment, another private box placed a bid, directly setting a new record for the [King-grade Divine Breaking Pill].
"6 billion!"
Finally, under the bidding of a mysterious powerhouse, the two divine pills were sold for a sky-high price of 6 billion.
*Dong~*
As Elder Zhen brought down the hammer, his heart ached. Good heavens, a price of 6 billion... truly insane. Tsk tsk~~
This was one of the top three highest records in his auction career in many years!
However... today, his auction record was likely to be broken.
After all!
While others might not know, he was acutely aware that there was still one [Monarch-grade Divine Breaking Pill] to come, which was the true highlight. He hoped... the Divine Lord could acquire it. But then again, not many would dare to bid against the Divine Lord.
With that thought.
Elder Zhen flipped his right hand, and as he opened the formation, a pill aroma far more potent than before filled the air.
"This pill is named [Monarch-grade Divine Breaking Pill]. Its effect is the same as the [King-grade Divine Breaking Pill], but it acts upon the Divine Monarch realm, allowing peak experts below Divine Monarch ninth heaven to advance one heaven!!"
*Boom!!!*
This declaration shook the entire hall. Every private box erupted with unprecedented auras, all from the Divine Monarch realm. There were even many at Divine Monarch second and third heaven.
Indeed, this move had revealed countless powerful beings!
"The starting bid is 1 billion low-grade divine crystals, with increments no less than 100 million low-grade divine crystals!"
As Elder Zhen's voice faded, the rest was no longer his concern. He knew, however, that the final transaction price for this divine pill would break 10 billion low-grade divine crystals, without a doubt.
At the same time, it would also break his auction record!
"2 billion!"
"5 billion!"
"......"
"6 billion!"
........
Through continuous bidding, the Divine Monarch realm experts in the auction hall fought fiercely, their faces flushed. This pill was too important to them, an irresistible temptation.
"10 billion!"
Suddenly, from a private box that had never bid before, an aged voice emerged. However, judging by the voice, it was disguised; his true age could not be so low. This person was none other than the Battle Soul Heaven, the Divine Lord of Vast Sea!
As the most talented genius of the Vast Sea royal family in a million years, he had reached the peak of Divine Monarch fifth heaven at the mere age of 300,000.
That's right!
He was at the peak of Divine Monarch fifth heaven. This was far stronger than rumored. After placing his bid, his aura fully unleashed, clearly displaying his Divine Monarch fifth heaven strength.
"Heh heh, interesting."
"11 billion!"
Just then, clearly someone refused to back down. Another private box contained a fellow Divine Monarch fifth heaven expert who placed a bid.
Battle Soul Heaven's expression darkened, and he no longer hesitated. "15 billion!"
At this moment, his realm no longer concealed, the aura of peak Divine Monarch fifth heaven pressure was directed towards that location. As expected, the Divine Monarch fifth heaven expert in that private box wisely ceased bidding.
Because he understood... if he offended such an existence, he might live to acquire the pill, but not to use it!
Might makes right!
This was vividly displayed at this moment. Elder Zhen on the auction stage was also stunned. "Divine Lord, has... his strength reached such a level already?"
"With this pill, the Divine Lord's realm will surely ascend another step!!"
With that thought, Elder Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, the Divine Lord had acquired the [Monarch-grade Divine Breaking Pill]. Though the price was steep, it was worth it.
Gong Cangtian, "!!!!!!!"
Even with prior preparation, he was utterly shocked by the final bidding price. A [Monarch-grade Divine Breaking Pill] had fetched such a sky-high price. The resources the Divine Lord would provide to their Azure Cloud Sect... would likely be an astronomical figure.
