285: Chapter 285 Secret Auction

With a flick of his finger, Chen Xi sent four cards flying like streaks of light, accurately sinking into the foreheads of his four teammates. The final card was pressed into his own chest.

"Buzz—!!!"

In an instant, a high-dimensional fluctuation that made the soul tremble erupted within the starport!

Under the shocked gazes of Shen Ye and the others, the figures of the five Nirvana Battle Team members began to blur and elongate, as if they were briefly merging from three-dimensional biological life into four-dimensional projections!

When the light dissipated, the ones standing there were no longer carbon-based humans from Earth.

Five [Void Elves], exuding an ancient, mysterious, and supremely noble aura, appeared before everyone's eyes!

Chen Xi's original black hair had turned into a silver-white that flowed with starlight, his ears became pointed and long, and his skin took on a cold jade luster that was nearly transparent. His pupils transformed into pure abysses without whites; with every movement, the surrounding space spontaneously made way for him, as if he were the darling of this void.

Su Xiaoxiao's temperament became more ethereal, with purple-silver lightning patterns forming natural high-dimensional divine runes on her cold jade skin; golden sands of time constantly swirled around Li Murou; the divine seal on Ye Fei's forehead turned into a vertical eye that seemed capable of seeing through the origin of the universe; and Lin Shan, who was originally as burly as an iron tower, had become a three-meter-tall Starry Sky Titan Giant covered in an obsidian-like void carapace!

[Disguised Identity: Void Elf Royalty]

[Universal Rating: A near-extinct super-first-tier mysterious high-dimensional race, natural darlings of the void, extremely dangerous, extremely xenophobic, long-term recluses of the cosmic abyss.]

"This... this is too incredible, isn't it? I feel like my body has not only become lighter, but my perception of the surrounding space has increased at least tenfold!" Su Xiaoxiao looked at her slender, fair hands—which could even directly penetrate some physical obstacles—in utter shock.

"It's not just the appearance; even the soul frequency and genetic sequence have been perfectly overwritten from the base logic by this card." Chen Xi looked over his temporary shell, which was full of high-dimensional beauty, with satisfaction and said proudly:

"Now, even if a Level 150 True God pointed a scanner at us, they would absolutely not be able to tell we are Earthlings."

"Let's go, noble Void Elves."

Chen Xi took the lead, turning to step onto the stardust's slowly descending gangway of deep blue light:

"Let's go to the Myriad Realms Black Market and show those bumpkin aliens what's what."

"Boom—!!!"

The rear of the stardust did not emit traditional flames; instead, it rippled out a circle of absolute black spatial waves into the void.

Without any acceleration process, this stealth assault ship, fused with high-dimensional laws, instantly entered a state of extreme curvature folding, disappearing silently into the deep space of the Sirius Sector like a drop of ink merging into the ocean.

Target: the city of sin and wealth tens of thousands of light-years away—the [Myriad Realms Black Market]!

In the vast universe, there is not only cold silence and violent stars.

Thirty-six thousand light-years away from the Sirius Sector, there is a dead white dwarf star so massive it defies conventional astrophysics. The surface temperature of this white dwarf is extremely high, and its gravity is terrifying enough to instantly tear any nearby conventional interstellar warship into atoms.

However, right above the equator of this celestial body representing absolute death, a super-giant ring-shaped space station the size of Earth floats out of thin air!

Countless anchor chains forged from high-dimensional alloys are driven deep into the core of the white dwarf like dragon-locking pillars, forcibly extracting the violent energy of this dead star to maintain the space station's ultimate gravitational neutralization shield, which glows with a dark gold light.

This is the most notorious yet most prosperous gray area in the entire Orion Arm and even several surrounding large galaxies—the [Myriad Realms Black Market].

"Buzz—"

The stardust's dark, droplet-like hull slid silently out of the ripples of a spatial jump, coming to a steady halt in the crowded, swarm-like interstellar port queuing area on the outskirts of the Myriad Realms Black Market.

"My god... is this really a space station?"

Li Murou leaned against the panoramic window, looking through the dark gold shield at the layers of towering, cyberpunk-style mega-structures inside and the strangely shaped alien ships weaving through the sky. Her breath hitched in shock.

"The gravity here is extremely terrifying. Without this shield, even a Level 80 powerhouse would be crushed into a meat patty in an instant."

Chen Xi's starry eyes narrowed slightly as Miracle Deduction instantly analyzed various physical parameters of the surrounding environment. He turned to look at the four people behind him and whispered a reminder:

"Remember, from now on, we are the proud, mysterious, and extremely difficult-to-provoke Void Elf Royalty. Don't talk if you can fight, and never look down if you can look down your nose at people. As long as we act like big shots, these alien swindlers won't dare to treat us like nobodies."

"Understood, Captain!" Lin Shan replied in a muffled voice. Now transformed into a three-meter-tall Obsidian Titan, just standing there exuded a terrifying, murderous aura that warned others to keep their distance.

The stardust successfully passed through the outer automated gravitational tractor beams and docked at a high-level VIP landing pad.

The hatch opened.

As Chen Xi led his four teammates onto the port floor, paved with meteorite fragments, in their perfect Void Elf forms, the surrounding alien mercenaries and merchants of various races busy moving cargo instantly fell silent.

Countless gazes filled with shock, awe, and even a hint of fear were all cast toward these five uninvited guests.

"God... are those Void Elves?! How could these high-dimensional remnants, who only exist in legends and live in seclusion in the cosmic abyss, come to the Myriad Realms Black Market?!"

"Shh! Be quiet! Didn't you see that silver-haired youth in the lead? The void fluctuations on him are so strong I don't even have the courage to probe him with spiritual power! He's definitely a terrifying existence above Level 100!"

"And that black Titan guard... hiss, this is definitely some royal scion from a top-tier cosmic civilization out on a journey!"

Listening to the whispers of various alien languages coming through the simultaneous translator, Chen Xi sneered inwardly.

It seemed the effect of this SS-rank disguise card was even more perfect than he had imagined.

Ignoring the surrounding exclamations, he led the team straight toward the most magnificent building in the center of the port, carved from a single piece of glowing crystal—the [Star Core Auction House] headquarters.

According to Garu's memories, that [imperial treasury key: god-creating cube fragment] would be held here today in a top-level secret auction!
