160: Chapter 160 Ultimate Secret Manual

"This... this Physical Law! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!!"

Elder Mo trembled violently, as if he had witnessed the most terrifying taboo in the universe!

In this cultivation technique, he saw traces of techniques from ten thousand races, but all the defects and bottlenecks had been forcibly smoothed out by a great power that transcended the laws of the universe!

A path of pure physical evolution without any side effects!

Crack, crack, crack—

At that moment, the Myriad Law Appraisal Pillar, which was said to be able to withstand even Ninth-Rank techniques, began to crack frantically from its base because it could not bear the terrifying grade of this technique!

The next second...

BOOM!!!

The entire appraisal pillar exploded into pieces!

An anomaly, like a volcanic eruption, soared from the crystal, smashing through the dome of the Appraisal Pavilion and piercing straight into the artificial sky of the Star City!

Roar—!!!

Above the nine heavens, a low growl faintly echoed, causing thousands of stars to tremble!

At this moment, half of the Central Star City of Ten Thousand Races was startled by this dark-gold pillar of blood energy!

Countless reclusive starry sky giants and powerful beings from various races opened their eyes one after another, looking toward the Appraisal Pavilion with faces full of horror...

"A God-Fiend Anomaly... a supreme cultivation technique capable of changing the landscape of the starry sky has appeared!"

Meanwhile, the main hall on the first floor of the Appraisal Pavilion had long fallen into a deathly silence.

Everyone was suffocating under that terrifying primordial pressure, their legs turning weak.

The deacon who had originally clamored to kick Lin Yuan out was now slumped on the ground in terror, a pool of yellow liquid seeping from his crotch.

Elder Mo stared fixedly at Lin Yuan, his chest heaving violently.

Then, under the horrified gazes of everyone present...

This high-and-mighty Eighth-Rank Chief Grand Appraiser, whom even the elders of the Celestial Clan treated with respect, actually bent his knees and performed the most solemn ninety-degree bow to Lin Yuan!

"May I ask, My Lord..." Elder Mo's voice was trembling, filled with a fanatical reverence, "This... which primordial supreme being's legacy is this?!"

"Once this technique is revealed, the combat power landscape for Fourth Grade to Seventh-Rank Grandmasters in the entire universe will be completely rewritten! This is a priceless treasure! A true priceless treasure!!!"

The entire hall erupted!

All the VIPs who had originally looked down on Lin Yuan now had their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, their scalps tingling with shock.

Changing the combat power landscape of the entire universe?!

Just what was the background of these shabby-looking youths?!

Lin Yuan remained expressionless, merely flicking his sleeve casually. "Enough nonsense. Is this thing qualified to enter your Supreme Auction Zone?"

"Yes! More than qualified!!!"

Without hesitation, Elder Mo pulled out a top-tier VIP card embedded with a miniature star core and handed it to Lin Yuan with trembling hands.

"My Lord! This is our pavilion's highest-level Black Gold Supreme Card! If you are willing to let our pavilion auction this technique, we are willing to advance you... ten billion starry sky essence as a deposit!"

Ten billion!

In the hard currency of starry sky essence!

Those who had mocked Lin Yuan for being poor just moments ago now wished they could slap themselves several times.

"It's barely enough."

Lin Yuan casually took the Black Gold Card and the spatial ring filled with the deposit. Without another word, he led Ancient Sword Soul and Ji Hongyi onto the exclusive elevator leading to the top-floor Supreme Box.

By the elevator entrance, that arrogant and overbearing Holy Son of the Gold Horn God Clan was standing there in a daze with his guards.

He had originally come out to investigate the anomaly, only to run straight into Lin Yuan, who had just obtained the highest level of authority.

Lin Yuan's footsteps paused slightly beside the Holy Son of the Golden Horn.

He tilted his head slightly, giving a cold glance to this "Seventh-Rank Grandmaster" who had spat at him earlier.

Parting his thin lips, Lin Yuan spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear, throwing the insult back exactly as it had been given:

"Excuse me."

"Pauper."

Inside the Myriad Law Appraisal Pavilion, Lin Yuan toyed with the Black Gold Supreme Card in his hand, his brow furrowed.

Elder Mo, the Chief Appraiser who had almost been scared witless, had just reported an extremely troublesome piece of intelligence to him:

The "auction" that could decide the fate of billions of lives on Earth, and the only place where an Ultra-Long-Distance Space Wormhole Generator might appear, wouldn't officially open for another half-month!

"Half a month..."

Lin Yuan walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window of the box, a flash of irritation in his eyes.

The Ninth-Rank Deep Sea Beast Emperor on Earth's side was already starting to stir; time was life.

Although he had casually whipped up an "Ancestor Version" technique to successfully obtain the Black Gold Supreme Card and its ten-billion starry sky essence credit...

A sum that seemed like a fortune enough to buy a life-bearing planet to ordinary people was, for the current Lin Yuan...

Not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth!

"An intergalactic wormhole generator has a starting bid of five thousand units of starry sky essence. If I run into some reckless high-dimensional noble families raising the price at the auction, ten billion might not even cover the change."

Furthermore, Lin Yuan was now the "Number One Warlord of the Chaotic Star Sea"!

He was supporting three full Nebula-class fleets and twenty thousand Asura Army soldiers who were like hungry wolves, consuming high-level blood energy resources frantically every day!

"When the cannons fire, gold flows like water. The mere cost of maintaining the fleet's combat readiness and troop production is an astronomical figure every day."

Lin Yuan rubbed his chin, then sank his consciousness into the system space.

In that bottomless storage space, besides a few core divine items, there were mountains of scrap metal piled up.

That was his entire fortune brought from completely stripping the Cult of the Machine God's Tianming Star Branch clean a few days ago!

Tens of thousands of Eighth-Rank battleship motherboards, high-dimensional mechanical cores, top-grade defensive array blueprints...

"This loot bearing the mark of the Mechanical Cult cannot be shown in a formal setting like the Myriad Law Appraisal Pavilion."

"It seems I'll have to take a look at the underworld here."

Two hours later, ten thousand meters beneath the Central Star City of Ten Thousand Races.

It was completely different from the "Celestial Realm" above, which was filled with sacred, noble, and high-dimensional law flows.

This was the largest, filthiest, and bloodiest lawless land in the entire Star City—the Dark Star Black Market!

All sorts of prohibited high-dimensional weapons, beautiful alien female slaves sealed in crystal pillars, and even blood-stained remains of starry sky behemoths were traded openly here like common cabbages.

Step, step, step...

Lin Yuan led Ancient Sword Soul and Ji Hongyi out of the elevator and into this district where demons danced.

To avoid unnecessary trouble (mainly to avoid scaring off the fat sheep), Lin Yuan had the system directly lock down the energy fluctuations of the three of them.

To the outside world, the three of them appeared to be thorough Fourth Grade Peaks!

"Jie jie jie... What fresh carbon-based biological flesh."

"Monkeys at the Fourth Grade realm? They actually dare to come to the Dark Star Black Market? Their clothes are made of good material; looks like they're fat sheep!"

As soon as the three stepped onto the streets of the black market, countless pairs of greedy eyes instantly lit up in the shadows.
