164: Supreme Divine Martial Arts - Demon-Slaying Sword Dance

Following this, the hundred-year usage rights for the Immortal Caves on the mountaintop were successively auctioned off.

Perhaps because the previous price had been driven up by Li Jiangchen, the subsequent auction price for every Immortal Cave exceeded 2.5 million Origin Stones.

Especially the final ten Immortal Caves, whose prices surpassed the 3 million Origin Stone mark.

Such prices caused countless fifth heaven Saint Realm experts to sigh in amazement.

Subsequent auction items appeared one after another.

Body Refining treasures, Medicinal Pills that instantly restored True Essence, Enlightenment Pills that temporarily stimulated potential... every item drew contention from many people.

Li Jiangchen also chose the right moment to act, successfully bidding 2.7 million Origin Stones for three Stems of Nine Nether Undying Pine.

This Spiritual Plant takes root in the soul, possessing the effects of calming and purifying the soul, complementing the Soul-Cutting Beasts perfectly.

"Now for the next auction item."

Fairy Honglian's voice carried a hint of temptation, and everyone's gaze fell upon the red cloth she slowly pulled away.

*Whoosh—*

A sword-shaped Jade Slip appeared on the tray.

Numerous ancient Seal Characters transformed into Silver Script, flashing out from the Jade Slip and forming a Sword Light filled with sky-high Killing Intent.

"This is the cultivation method for an Emperor-Grade Divine Ability!"

"It's also a sword-based technique, widely recognized for its extreme combat power."

In an instant, many Sixth Heaven Saint Realm experts turned their attention toward it.

Emperor-Grade Divine Abilities are the pinnacle of Divine Abilities, and furthermore, they are the Foundation for constructing a Supreme Divine Martial Art.

Gradually, the Sword Qi condensed into characters, causing Li Jiangchen's pupils to contract.

"What a coincidence..."

He narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Ten Directions Immortal Slaying Sword Formation."

"That's right. As everyone can see, this Divine Ability originates from the Thousand Feather Realm within the Middle Thousand Worlds, the True Disciple Divine Ability of the Thousand Feather Sword Sect—the Ten Directions Immortal Slaying Sword Formation." Fairy Honglian's voice resonated throughout the venue.

"Many days ago, the Grey and Demon Two Realms went to war. The Thousand Feather Realm was located in the core battle zone and was affected by the attacks of two great Supremes. Its world has already collapsed and is utterly destroyed.

The cultivation method for this Divine Ability is being auctioned by a True Disciple of the Thousand Feather Sword Sect.

The starting price is 3 million Origin Stones, and each bid must not be less than 100,000."

Everyone's eyes were burning with fervor.

"The Thousand Feather Sword Sect, that was a Sect founded by the Lord of the Middle Thousand Worlds, standing firm in the Endless Starry Sky for countless years. To think it was reduced to ashes."

"Not many Emperor-Grade Divine Abilities circulate publicly..."

"We must secure this one, no matter what."

In the blink of an eye, several Pseudo-Emperor level experts made bids, their auras completely unconcealed, hinting strongly that others should not dare to bid against them.

Within a few breaths, the price exceeded 8 million Origin Stones.

On the mountaintop.

Lady White Bone's eyes flickered, and she smiled, "These Pseudo-Emperors are quite calculating.

They've amplified their auras to the extreme, practically naming names and forbidding others from participating.

Why, Phantom Star, aren't you going to manage them?"

Hearing this, Phantom Star Emperor smiled slightly: "If they haven't achieved the Emperor Realm, they are ultimately just ants.

They are all just juniors anyway."

"You are quite generous. It seems you benefited greatly from taking in the Remnants of the Thousand Feather Sword Sect." Lady White Bone implied.

She naturally knew about the destruction of the Thousand Feather Realm, having only heard that the survivors fled towards the Three Mountains Star Domain, yet she never expected them to be intercepted by the Phantom Star Emperor right before her.

Phantom Star Emperor smiled without speaking, simply focusing on sipping his tea.

At this moment, the instant the auction price for this Emperor-Grade Divine Ability exceeded ten million, an abrupt voice boomed across the entire venue.

"I bid 20 million Origin Stones."

The entire venue fell silent once more.

"Tw—twenty million Origin Stones. That is significantly higher than the net worth of an ordinary Pseudo-Emperor existence.

What is the background of this person?"

"Wait, this Bidder is the same person who previously secured the usage rights for the first mountaintop Immortal Cave with a fixed bid of 3 million Origin Stones."

"What? Just a mere fifth heaven Saint Realm expert, facing a crowd of Pseudo-Emperors, how dare he?"

"Heh heh, this person truly doesn't know what's good for him. With so many Origin Stones, if he isn't protected by a Seventh Heaven Emperor Realm expert, he will definitely not leave the Three Mountains Star Domain alive today."

In the shadows, the Golden Crown Demon Emperor's Qi Manifestation surged, staring intently in Li Jiangchen's direction.

"This wealth, coupled with coveting an Emperor-Grade Sword Dao Divine Ability... the probability that he is that person has risen above eighty percent."

The wealth that Pseudo-Emperors find difficult to accumulate is nothing to a genuine Emperor Realm combatant.

For veteran Demon Emperors like him, possessing a net worth exceeding 100 million Origin Stones is effortless.

Moreover, the person who destroyed his Incarnation used the Sword Dao.

On the mountaintop.

Phantom Star Emperor was slightly surprised, his gaze penetrating the layers of Formation protection to look toward Li Jiangchen's location.

'His cultivation is only at the fifth heaven, yet his wealth surpasses that of an ordinary Pseudo-Emperor. Who exactly is this venerable figure...'

A wave of Spiritual Sense projected over. Li Jiangchen opened his eyes, instantly noticing it, but he remained outwardly calm.

However, Sword Light flashed around his body, emitting terrifying Sword Intent Fluctuations.

'As expected, he possesses Pseudo-Emperor combat power, or perhaps even higher. Could this person be a Direct Disciple of some Supreme...' Huge waves surged in Phantom Star Emperor's heart.

"Oh? Phantom Star, why the expression? Could that person have a special identity?" Lady White Bone asked.

"Just a fifth heaven Saint Realm expert with some talent." Although Phantom Star Emperor said this, he decided instantly that he would establish good relations with the person as soon as the Auction House concluded.

Possessing Pseudo-Emperor combat power at the fifth heaven is rare, even across the Endless Starry Sky.

At this moment.

The 20 million Origin Stones were like a great mountain pressing down on the hearts of the Pseudo-Emperors present. No matter how frustrated they were, they remained helpless.

This was an auction held under the Phantom Star Emperor; who would dare to act recklessly?

Until the Final Gavel struck, no one dared to raise the bid again.

The numerous Pseudo-Emperors communicated in secret.

"Heh heh, Old Demon Han, you primarily cultivate the Sword Dao, aren't you interested in that Emperor-Grade Divine Ability?"

"Guo Huai, there's no need for provocation. If you think the other party is a Soft Persimmon at the fifth heaven, you are welcome to set up an ambush after the auction ends. Perhaps you can increase your net worth by ten million Origin Stones." Old Demon Han said calmly.

Experts at the Pseudo-Emperor level are all old foxes who naturally understand that in this situation, the lower the cultivation, the more likely the person is either a Peerless Grade Genius capable of cross-realm combat, or someone with an immensely powerful background.

In either case, they are not existences that can be easily provoked.

Moments later, the Jade Slip recording the Ten Directions Immortal Slaying Sword Formation fell into his palm, and Li Jiangchen's eyes burned with fervor.

"The four Emperor-Grade Divine Abilities are finally gathered. I can finally refine that strand of Sword Dao primordial violet qi... and condense my own Supreme Divine Martial Art."

With a thought, the Four Symbols Formation Flags were inserted into the four directions, transforming into an Isolation Formation.

Li Jiangchen sat cross-legged, and the Demon cultivation on his panel began to burn frantically.

[Year 1: You studied the Ten Directions Immortal Slaying Sword Formation Jade Slip, completely elevating the Incomplete Divine Ability you originally mastered to the Emperor-Grade level.]

[Year 2: Using Demon Kingdom in the Palm, Immortal Sword Domain, Ten Directions Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and Hegemon Sword as the Foundation, you began comprehending the Embryonic Form of a Supreme Divine Martial Art.]

[...Year 100: You comprehended an Embryonic Form, but you were not satisfied and began attempting to integrate other Divine Abilities and Secret Arts.]

[...Year 9,999: You fused the four Emperor-Grade Divine Abilities, thirty-six Peerless Grade Divine Abilities, seventy-two First-Rank Divine Abilities, and one hundred and eight Second-Rank Divine Abilities into one, condensing the Embryonic Form of a Supreme Divine Martial Art.]

[Year 10,000: You integrated the Sword Dao primordial violet qi, and the Supreme Divine Martial Art was born.]

Li Jiangchen opened his eyes. In an instant, his Soul Sea churned, numerous Divine Abilities connected into one, surrounding a strand of primordial violet qi and emitting Supreme, Profound Fluctuations.

With a thought, a stream of Sword Qi floated in his palm. It encompassed everything, resembling a Sword Tomb, with a Supreme sword soul hovering above it, dancing as it slayed Demons.

"Go."

The Sword Tomb shot out a Sword Light, striking the heavenly azure mark-leaving stele and leaving behind a clear Sword Mark.

"A mark of eight Zhang and three Chi, and that's without activating the Three Flowers Gather at the Summit. It shouldn't be too far from the ten-Zhang limit of the Seventh Heaven Emperor Realm... In that case, this move shall be called... Demon-Quelling Sword Dance."

As soon as he spoke, changes appeared on the panel.
