579: The curtain falls, the blood of the demon king is opened, and the whole audience is boiling

“The grand finale treasure has finally arrived!”

Everyone present was excited, and the big shots on the second floor were mostly there for the Due Golden Boat, which was the most crucial key to the core of the Nether Abyss.

As everyone knows, the Nether Sea is the true core of the Nether Abyss; the aboriginals on the opposite bank can only be considered the periphery, and the Ten Thousand Demons Country on the other side, where many great fierce beasts reside, can only be considered the second layer.

The Nether Sea is the true Treasure Trove of this Secret Realm; the rules within it are more complete than the outside world, and there are various peerless treasures, but opening the Nether Sea Passage requires four key artifacts.

However, the most crucial Due Golden Boat has been missing for a thousand years. Now that it has reappeared, it has stirred up an astonishing wave.

“It's truly the legendary Due Golden Boat, with a Void Realm map to the Nether Sea engraved on it.”

As soon as the Due Golden Boat appeared, its price quickly soared to an astronomical figure.

“Eight hundred thousand!”

The Witch Demon King aggressively bid; he must acquire this Due Golden Boat. He now possesses two key artifacts, and with the Due Golden Boat, that makes three, allowing him to single-handedly control three major key artifacts.

“One million High-Grade Spirit Stones, plus ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones!”

Ba Snake shouted his bid, and several great fierce beasts united, forming an Alliance, preparing to pool funds to bid for this Due Golden Boat.

After several rounds of bidding, the price had already soared to one million three hundred thousand.

“One million five hundred thousand, plus thirty Top-Grade Spirit Stones.”

The Witch Demon King said indifferently, offering an exorbitant price. This price was already terrifying enough that even the great fierce beasts hesitated whether to continue bidding.

Chu Jiang Wang lay in his private room, leisurely enjoying the service of several maids, and did not participate in the bidding. The final transaction price for this Due Golden Boat would certainly be astronomical.

He would wait for these guys to leave the city, then ambush them from behind.

When the source stones are cut later, treasures are sure to burst forth. Given the nature of the Witch Demon King, Sword Alliance Master, Barbarian King, and others, they will definitely follow him out of the city.

Killing people and seizing treasures is perfectly normal.

However, who the prey would be remained to be seen.

A moment later.

As Liu Xing's golden hammer fell, the Due Golden Boat was acquired by the Witch Demon King for one million seven hundred thousand, plus thirty-five Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Such an exorbitant price left everyone trembling in awe.

It truly lived up to its reputation as a divine boat capable of crossing the Nether Sea.

Just as everyone thought the auction was about to end, Liu Xing's voice came again.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have one last item for auction. When we discovered the Due Golden Boat, we also found nine Due Sub-Boats, which are imitations of the Due Golden Boat. They also possess the ability to cross the Nether Sea and are engraved with Void Realm maps.”

As he spoke.

Nine Due Sub-Boats appeared before everyone.

In scale, they were ten times smaller than the Due Golden Boat, capable of carrying only a dozen people, and their golden light was relatively dim.

“This auction house in the City of Wrongful Deaths really knows how to play. First, they put out a Due Golden Boat, making people mistakenly believe there's only one, driving up the price, and then they bring out nine smaller ones to make another profit.”

Chu Jiang Wang said with a faint smile.

The Witch Demon King's face was as unpleasant as if he had eaten excrement. He spent a huge amount of money, only for them to tell him it wasn't unique.

And it wasn't just one, it was nine.

Aside from the size, there was basically no significant difference.

He was thoroughly taken for a fool.

The price of the first Due Sub-Boats quickly broke through one hundred thousand, and Nine Lives Mysterious Ji bought it for one hundred eighty thousand.

Then came the second, the third...

Due to the sufficient quantity, the price of each one generally did not exceed three hundred thousand.

Except for one that was bought by a silver-robed person in the hall, the other eight were acquired by the big figures on the second floor.

“Gentlemen, shall we cut these three source stones now?”

Liu Xing's face was radiant with glory. Today's auction was a great harvest, with over ten million High-Grade Spirit Stones collected.

“Cut them, cut them immediately!”

The Witch Demon King said coldly. He was willing to bet that the material he had his eye on would definitely yield a good treasure.

The several people who had acquired source stones all chose to cut them on the spot.

Soon, a professional Great Master of stone cutting, carrying specialized tools, began to cut the source stone acquired by the Witch Demon King.

Everyone watched intently, their eyes fixed on the Great Master's operation on the stage.

Compared to gambling on stones oneself, watching others gamble on stones was also a kind of enjoyment, especially when someone spent their entire fortune only to cut out waste material, which truly brought pleasure to the heart.

Soon, this source stone was cut open.

Only to see.

A rotten corpse was revealed in the air, and within a few breaths, it turned into dust and disappeared.

“Damn it, a huge loss!”

A young Cultivator exclaimed. At that time, the Witch Demon King had spent three hundred thousand to buy this source stone.

Only to cut out a corpse.

“Witch Demon King, it seems your luck isn't so good.”

Ba Snake chuckled lightly.

“Hmph, Ba Snake, if I can't cut out good material, do you think you can?” The Witch Demon King's eyes turned cold. This wretched snake was actually mocking him.

Ba Snake said nothing, merely looking quietly at the stone-cutting area.

“It's a Puppet, a Rongtian Puppet!”

“I just don't know if it's a mechanical Puppet or a flesh-and-blood Puppet. If it's a flesh-and-blood Puppet, it could be a small profit.”

Everyone was surprised. The source stone purchased by Ba Snake actually yielded a Rongtian Realm Puppet. Even if it was a mechanical Puppet, it could barely break even, not a significant loss.

Next, it was the third piece, the one Chu Jiang Wang had purchased.

“What does an outsider know about gambling on stones? This one is probably also waste material, a complete waste of four hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.”

The Barbarian King scoffed, not thinking highly of it at all.

The Sword Alliance Master also nodded slightly, wishing that this guy would cut out waste material.

The entire venue quieted down, and all eyes were focused on the stone-cutting platform.

The Great Master operating the knife cut open the source stone, revealing a black jar. Upon opening the Seal on it, a divine light instantly erupted.

The spewing Qi and blood power was like dark clouds obscuring the sky.

“Roar!”

The Void Realm trembled, as if an ancient monstrous beast was roaring. The black jar emitted an unimaginable pressure, causing people to tremble, compelling them to submit, and making them involuntarily kneel and bow.

“What is this?”

Everyone was horrified, and the big shots on the second floor all stood up, feeling that an supreme Heavenly Demon, with world-shaking demonic might, was about to crawl out of this black jar.

A Rongtian Realm big shot opened his Heavenly Eye to inspect the black jar and discovered that a single drop of this black blood seemed to contain a Small World, with the phantom of an extremely fierce creature.

“This is the essence blood of the Qiongqi Demon King!”

Liu Xing, who was hosting the auction, was well-traveled and knowledgeable, recognizing the essence blood within the black jar.

As soon as these words came out, the entire venue fell silent.

Qiongqi was one of the four ancient fierce beasts, definitely one of the top royal bloodlines. A single drop of its blood was extremely rare.

Its essence blood could allow demons to evolve and even extend their Lifespan.

“This is a true peerless Demon King. Even a single drop of its blood is enough to make a Rongtian Realm feel immense pressure and be unable to bear it.”

A complete Demon King Stage, even if it's just the first stage, can probably crush ninety-nine percent of the Rongtian Realm Prodigies in the world.

Challenging across realms is basically impossible.

In front of a true Demon King, it's like a child throwing punches, completely unable to break through their defenses.

“Qiongqi essence blood, this item must belong to this King!”

The Witch Demon King's eyes were bloodshot, and he fell into a frenzy. Wasn't he going to the Nether Sea precisely to seek such ultimate treasures to achieve Breakthrough? This Demon King essence blood could only be his.

“Chu Jiang Wang, this item is useless to your Human Race. I am willing to exchange a seventh-grade Heaven And Earth Treasure for this drop of Demon King essence blood. How about it?”

Ba Snake's eyes were fiery. This Demon King essence blood was also a great tonic for them.

“Chu Jiang Wang, I am willing to exchange one seventh-grade item and thirteen Top-Grade Spirit Stones for your Demon King essence blood.”

“...”

The big shots in the private rooms on the second floor could no longer sit still, offering exorbitant prices to purchase the drop of Qiongqi essence blood in Chu Jiang Wang's hand, but Chu Jiang Wang refused them all.

What a joke! His Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Sutra most liked to devour demons. This Demon King essence blood would definitely allow him to advance further.

Chu Jiang Wang took the Qiongqi essence blood and other auctioned items, preparing to leave.

“Chu Jiang Wang, our City Lord requests your presence!”

An Elder from the auction house came to Chu Jiang Wang's private room and bowed, saying.
