Dark God Tentacles

Watching item after item being auctioned off, Ye Chen remained expressionless.

Xiao Fan had already obtained the item he liked, so he had no further interest in the subsequent items.

"Brother Ye Chen, what is it that you want? Is it that Heaven Rank Technique?"

Xiao Fan asked curiously.

Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, "Not at all. I am not interested in any Heaven Rank Technique or the Seven-Star Mythical Blueprint. What I want is that Dark God Tentacle."

"Hm?" Xiao Fan was somewhat surprised.

He had assumed it was the Heaven Rank Technique. Although he knew Ye Chen possessed weapons of an ultra-high grade and was uninterested in blueprints, no one could refuse a Heaven Rank Technique. He had not expected that Ye Chen wanted the Dark God Tentacle instead; this truly caught Xiao Fan off guard.

However, a sneering laugh came from behind: "Heh, what a convenient excuse. You two have a bit of insight, knowing that among the remaining items, the Dark God Tentacle has the lowest price, but it's still not something you can get your hands on. The people who came today with real strength are all here for that blueprint and the Heaven Rank Technique. The Dark God Tentacle might be easier to bid for, but don't get your hopes up too high; those with average strength still want the Dark God Tentacle."

"Haha, well said. Young man, it's better to look further ahead. Are those remaining items something you can touch? It's truly laughable. Even our Haoqiu Alliance doesn't dare to touch them, and you think you can? Stop joking. Can you even pull out five million gold coins? Seriously."

Ye Chen turned around, glanced indifferently at the few people behind him, and said nothing.

"Sigh, although this Mythical Equipment Blueprint is good, the Materials required are too much. It actually requires a piece of Mythical Essence, and this Mythical Essence is a top-tier Heaven Rank material! Moreover, there is almost no way to find it; the path to synthesis is difficult!"

Sighs could be heard all around.

Just then, Old Ghost's laughter rang out.

Old Ghost stood on the stage, smiling radiantly, "Everyone, we are now entering the final stages of the auction. There are only four items left. You all know that in previous auctions, the last three items were always the grand finale items. The finale items had already been decided, but due to some unexpected events, the Dark God Tentacle was pushed out and is no longer part of the grand finale. As for what the newly decided final item is, I won't tell you just yet. It will absolutely exceed your expectations!"

Old Ghost said with a chuckle.

"Hm, what? The Dark God Tentacle was actually pushed out? What is going on!"

"A new auction item has been added; could its value be even higher than the Dark God Tentacle?"

"Didn't you hear Old Ghost? The last item, the final auction item—could its value be even higher than the Mythical Blueprint?"

"Ah! How is that possible! Seeing one Mythical Equipment Blueprint is already a rare occurrence; how could there be something with a value even higher than that?"

"Exactly, even if there were, it should be saved as the finale for the next auction!"

"That may be true, but there is another possibility: this final, incredibly awesome item doesn't belong to the Shenzhou Chamber of Commerce, but is a private auction!"

"It's possible! And very likely!"

The crowd immediately became fully alert, all watching the auction stage with bated breath.

Some people had already started plotting, reassessing their targets for this auction.

Meanwhile, the Heavens Chosen Alliance began to discuss.

"Fourth Brother, what about our target this time?"

"Change it. Forget the Dark God Tentacle. Let's see what the final item is. Although Old Ghost's strength is average, his eye for items is recognized as excellent. Anything he calls a good item definitely won't be bad!"

"Understood. Seventh Brother, send a message in the group and tell everyone to pool their gold coins!"

...

A woman wearing a yellow cheongsam walked out with an alluring gait. On the red tray in her hands was a black object that looked like an ox horn, except it was still squirming, and its entire body emitted a black Qi.

"The next item up for auction is called the Dark God Tentacle. It was obtained in the Dark Land, specifically in the deepest part of the Dark Land, the Land of Extreme Darkness. It is an essential item for Dark Attribute Cultivation Techniques. The starting price is one million, and each increment must not be less than one hundred thousand!"

Old Ghost brought his hammer down heavily on the table, and the auction began.

Light, Dark, and Thunder are known as the Three Saint Attributes; items required for these three attributes are priced much higher than those for other attributes.

It couldn't be helped; the attributes are rare, and the Materials used for them are also rare.

"One million five hundred thousand!"

Some idiot jumped straight in and added five hundred thousand to the price!

"Two million five hundred thousand!"

There was someone even more ruthless; increasing the price by so much all at once—were they afraid people wouldn't know they were an idiot?

"Two million seven hundred thousand!"

"..."

"Four million!"

"Four million three hundred thousand!"

"I bid six million. I am from the Dark God Alliance. I want to present this Dark God Tentacle to my Alliance Leader, so I hope everyone will give me some Face!"

A person wearing a black cloak and a black mask stood up, cupped their hands, and shouted.

"Dark God Alliance? Forget it. I'm just a lone wolf; I'd better not compete with them!"

"I'd rather insult the Heavens Chosen Alliance than offend the Dark God Alliance! Forget it, forget it!"

Some people closed their mouths and stopped competing.

"What is this Dark God Alliance?"

Ye Chen asked.

Xiao Fan said, "The Dark God Alliance is just a bunch of dogs, commonly known as old schemers. If you offend the Heavens Chosen Alliance, they will attack you openly, but the Dark God Alliance is a bunch of bastards living in the shadows. If you offend them, they will try every possible way to kill you, and always in the dark. In the Dark God Alliance, there is a little notebook that people call the Death Note. If someone ends up in the Death Notebook, they will Face pursuit by the entire Dark God Alliance.

Because they live in the shadows, you cannot see them; they will only kill you from the dark. Anyone who ends up in the Death Notebook will die a mysterious and miserable death. Therefore, almost no one dares to offend the Dark God Alliance. But it's fine; here, no one can see you, and no one knows you. We can just quietly leave here later, so feel free to bid."

Ye Chen nodded, not taking it to heart. To put it bluntly, they were just a bunch of clowns.

However, after that shout from the Dark God Alliance, the number of bidders did indeed decrease a lot.

Now only two people remained in the bidding, clearly unafraid of the Dark God Alliance.

The price had already reached nine million.

"Nine million five hundred thousand!"

"Ten million!" the member of the Dark God Alliance shouted.

"Eleven million!" the person shouted through gritted teeth.

"Eleven million one hundred thousand!"

"Hmph!" The person snorted coldly and said nothing more. Clearly, eleven million was his limit.

"Haha, if you don't have money, don't come out to auction; it's embarrassing!" the person from the Dark God Alliance laughed loudly.

Clearly very happy.

"Eleven million two hundred thousand!"

Ye Chen suddenly shouted.

"Hmph! Who is it! Do you dare to stand up? Damn it, why not shout earlier or later? Why come out to disgust people at this time!" the person from the Dark God Alliance stood up angrily and cursed.
