Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 2062 - 1145: Asset Verification Auction, Undead Holy Sect

In the auction, another three thousand years vanished in the blink of an eye.

With life stretching towards infinity, the passage of time was no longer the sluggish crawl experienced on Earth.

For the entirety of these three millennia, the auctions conducted by the Heavenly Destiny Clan remained strictly traditional, devoid of any form of entertainment.

Fortunately, as the event progressed into its later stages, the consistent appearance of rare and valuable items prevented the years from becoming excessively monotonous!

Three thousand years after its commencement, the auction truly entered its climax.

The Left Protector of the Heavenly Destiny Clan also made their appearance to oversee and safeguard the forthcoming auction items.

Numerous attendants took turns meticulously describing each auction piece, effectively multiplying the auction's duration severalfold!

Astonishingly, over twenty items originating from the Extreme Heaven Realm were presented.

Furthermore, defective artifacts and those possessing only their Artifact Spirits numbered in the dozens!

This sheer volume underscored the immense value and significance of the Heavenly Destiny Clan's auctions once more.

However, as the caliber of the auction items escalated, a notable silence fell upon the eight great halls; none of their occupants made a move.

This abstention stemmed from a shared understanding: no amount of resources or rare commodities could ever rival the residency and ownership rights pertaining to the Central Star Core.

Su Lin, too, had maintained his restraint, refraining from placing any bids.

Yet, both the Charm Fox and the Saintess of the Black Gold Demon Clan found their personal treasuries depleted by this auction, as they persistently vied for numerous rare items.

The Charm Fox, in particular, secured three of the most coveted items.

The first was a protective teleportation mark, meticulously crafted by the Deputy Clan Leader of the Heavenly Destiny Clan. This artifact possessed the capability to withstand assaults from taboo existences and, even after sustaining damage, could whisk the user away over hundreds of light-years while simultaneously expunging all causal traces.

This item was undoubtedly a life-saving treasure.

It became apparent from this acquisition that the Charm Fox had not yet fully extricated herself from the lingering trauma of her past encounter in the Sea of Star Sand.

The second acquisition was a formidable suit of heavy armor hailing from the Extreme Heaven Realm, serving as another potent defensive asset.

The final prize was a foil-level killing instrument, also a creation of the Heavenly Destiny Clan's Deputy Clan Leader. This weapon exuded a power far surpassing that of ordinary forbidden-level foil weapons.

Wielded effectively, it held the potential to inflict harm upon even taboo existences.

Consequently, these three extraordinary items commanded a price exceeding eleven trillion resources for the Charm Fox.

This sum represented nearly the entirety of her accumulated wealth, amassed from the rewards bestowed by the Wolf Pack Civilization and her dominion over Phantom Army Group Town over countless millennia.

Meanwhile, the Saintess of the Black Gold Demon Clan, in addition to obtaining the prototype of the Dimension Heart, also procured another item of immense value.

This was the inheritance mark left by the Black Gold Demon Clan's very first overlord upon their arrival in the Blazing Nebula, accompanied by three soul bones and a small quantity of essence blood.

These relics were remnants from a taboo existence, imbued with supreme causal significance.

Should the first-generation overlord of the Black Gold Demon Clan ever be resurrected, any individual who had absorbed these items would inevitably be hunted down.

As such, there were few contenders willing to bid on such potentially perilous relics.

Nevertheless, it commanded the entirety of the Saintess of the Black Gold Demon Clan's dowry, augmented by contributions from the Black Gold Demon Clan's modest treasury, to secure these items.

This singular transaction alone cost nearly forty trillion resources.

The sheer value of resources connected to taboo existences was thus strikingly demonstrated!

At present, even Su Lin found himself harboring a degree of envy towards the wealth being exchanged at the Heavenly Destiny Clan's auction, let alone other species.

To date, approximately twenty thousand trillion resources had been transacted.

With such a colossal sum, any one of the Great Clans residing within the Star Nebula could achieve unprecedented levels of prosperity.

Indeed, countless factions engaged in conflict and bloodshed, driven by the relentless pursuit of resources and the fundamental drive for survival.

Consequently, the allure of nearly twenty thousand trillion resources was undeniably immense!

Yet, the overwhelming power of the Heavenly Destiny Clan, coupled with their location within the Central Star Core, deterred even the mightiest figures from the eight great halls from acting rashly.

However, it was widely anticipated that once the auction concluded, the periphery of the Central Star Core would inevitably become the stage for intense ambushes and battles.

Even Su Lin was discreetly observing which species secured the most significant auction items, meticulously planning his own ambush.

Furthermore, Su Lin possessed the ability to scrutinize the numerical attributes of these individuals, rendering any Soul Robes or Starlight Battle Armors utterly ineffective against his detection.

As the marking process continued, the auction pressed onward.

But as time wore on, the auction items grew increasingly sensational.

Soon, the items displayed on the Heavenly Derivation Star Plate began to appear individually, rather than in multiples.

Moreover, the count of unrevealed auction items on the Heavenly Derivation Star Plate drastically diminished from an astronomically high number down to mere hundreds!

The Left Protector also stepped forward, stating, "Greetings to all. Nearly ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. As the Star Core Auction draws to a close, we are entering the truly premium auction region. For the safety of our bidders, utmost confidentiality is required. Therefore, external image transmission will be suspended. Furthermore, participants within the auction hall must possess assets exceeding eighty trillion to remain and continue bidding!"

Upon the release of this spiritual will, the entire auction venue erupted into discussions.

The reason was that eighty trillion represented an astonishing sum.

Even a Star Nebula Great Clan would find it a considerable strain to amass eighty trillion!

In fact, the Black Gold Demon Clan, which had withdrawn from the front lines to recuperate across countless eras, had only presented a dowry totaling over forty trillion for their Saintess.

"Hmph! In that case, I shall depart! The Heavenly Destiny Clan ultimately holds ordinary forces like us in contempt!"

A voice, tinged with anger and amplified by spiritual will, emanated from one of the private boxes.

However, the Left Protector paid no heed. After a chilly glance, he proceeded to verify the finances using the Heavenly Derivation Star Plate.

Many who fell short of the eighty trillion resource requirement were either escorted out or chose to leave voluntarily.

Finally, after a series of procedures, approximately two hundred private boxes and eight grand pavilions remained within the auction hall.

This number was nearly equivalent to the total count of Star Nebula Great Clans in the Blazing Nebula.

Once the clearing process concluded, the Left Protector wasted no further time.

On the Heavenly Derivation Star Plate, a partially revealed Inferno Heavenslayer gradually materialized.

As it fully surfaced, the crimson battle banner, recently reforged within Su Lin's Origin Space, subtly quivered, sensing the proximity of a kindred forbidden heavy weapon.

"This is the Inferno Heavenslayer, a fragmented forbidden heavy weapon. Anyone present who lived through the previous Era will recognize whose weapon this was, though it dared to defy destiny and met such a fate. The Blazing Flame Dominator of that era was annihilated in the void by the Deputy Clan Leader, shattering even the forbidden-class Inferno Heavenslayer,"

"However, a significant partial artifact spirit and considerable power remain within it, far surpassing that of a quasi-taboo heavy weapon. Therefore, the starting bid is thirty trillion Blood Stones, Star Stones, or Luck Stones!"

A broken forbidden heavy weapon, and one that belonged to the leader during the zenith of the Blazing Flame Clan's might. This revelation ignited the first bid.

One of the eight grand pavilions immediately placed a bid, their identity unmasked as they transmitted their spiritual will: "How glorious was our Blazing Flame Clan in its prime? In a one-on-one confrontation, how could your Heavenly Clan possibly interfere? This heavy weapon belongs to the Undead Holy Sect! Fifty trillion!"

Fifty trillion!

The Undead Holy Sect!

Regardless of the designation, the name commanded dread.

Especially the current iteration of the Undead Holy Sect, which operated like a rampaging beast, initiating conflicts relentlessly, indifferent to losses or gains!

Rumors even circulated that the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church was on the cusp of achieving quasi-monarch status, but at the cost of his sanity, transforming into a mere war machine solely focused on slaughter.

Consequently, no one dared to provoke the Undead Holy Sect at this juncture!

Only one other participant among the eight pavilions made a deliberate bid, increasing the price a few times over, seemingly to vex the Undead Holy Sect, before ultimately relinquishing their claim.

"You are beyond my recognition! Hahaha, having battled through the Western Star Core, I cannot precisely ascertain your affiliation. I never anticipated your appearance here; I shall remember you! Once the auction concludes, we shall settle this matter at our leisure!"

Soon after, a voice emerged from within the pavilion, weary yet carrying a hint of aged madness.

This was indeed the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church.

His current mental state was remarkably distinct.

He was teetering on the brink of losing control, incapable of restraining his actions, brazenly issuing threats to adversaries in such a setting, an act bound to offend even the Heavenly Destiny Clan.

"Hmph! Chi Hun, your identity is of no concern to me. Know only that your end will be equally grim. The Burial Song, long foretold by the Ancestor of the Sky-Cunning Beast, is now unfolding; the Sunshine Base Camp has fallen, the Sun Empress has been utterly annihilated – does this not align with the prophecy?"

The Ultimate Being within the eighth grand pavilion displayed no apprehension, responding with a cold scoff.

"Hahahahaha! Excellent! Then I shall await your accompaniment with the Burial Song on my journey to death! Aaaah!!!!!!"

The Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church erupted into laughter, which then devolved into a nearly suppressed, frantic howl.

From his pavilion, Dimensional Truth, Atomic Power, Divine Soul Power, Qi-Blood Force, and other formidable energies surged forth, each reaching its zenith, causing the winds to howl and the very colors of the world to shift.

Witnessing this sight, even the expression of the Left Protector underwent a change. Promptly, he employed the Heavenly Derivation Star Plate, summoning the immense Power of the Starry Sky, the Three Thousand Origin Rules, and even the unique Heavenly Fate belonging to the Heavenly Destiny Clan!

With a tremendous impact, they managed to forcefully quell the turbulent waves stirred by the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church.

"Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church, listen closely. If you persist in causing trouble, the one who will suppress the situation next will not be me!"

The Left Protector transmitted a chilling message.

Ultimately, he refrained from severing ties completely with the Undead Holy Sect.

After all, a mere Undead Holy Sect was not worth their direct confrontation.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Destiny Clan placed the utmost importance on cause and effect. The Deputy Clan Leader had previously sworn not to harm the remnants of the Blazing Flame Clan, such as the Undead Holy Sect, the Bright Day System, the Ten Thousand Demon System, and the Star Patrol Clan. Naturally, they would uphold their word.

However, if the Undead Holy Church were to overstep their bounds, it would no longer be the responsibility of the Heavenly Destiny Clan.

"Hehehe, very well, very well. Your Heavenly Destiny Clan commands the authority of the starry sky, bolstered by the will and source of countless powerful beings across the cosmos. I cannot move against you, but I will still declare that some matters cannot be judged right or wrong by you alone, but must be decided by all living beings!"

With a frigid chuckle, the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church finally fell silent.

Even in his near-insane state, he could comprehend the dire consequences of provoking the colossal Heavenly Destiny Clan.

He feared that everything he had painstakingly built would be reduced to nothing.

The Heavenly Destiny Clan and the Black Sun Clan truly stood as the two colossal titans that held the Blazing Nebula in check; no one could resist if a war erupted without restraint!

Observing the proceedings with a cold gaze, Su Lin deeply understood that despite the Blazing Flame Clan's apparent advantage in the fierce competition for Star Core dominion, they had inadvertently become the target of everyone.

Especially with a warmonger like the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church at their helm, they might soon invite their own annihilation amidst the flames of conflict.

This realization spurred Su Lin to formulate plans for his future ambitions concerning the Star Core Business.

After all, within the Undead Holy Sect, he possessed a supremely placed undercover agent who was steadily progressing towards the core of power.
