Chapter 134: Son of Fallen

Just as Sanchez was stuttering in embarrassment, the grand auction had already begun.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the largest Angela Auction in our Glory Castle!”

An energetic middle-aged man walked onto the high platform. His tone was highly provocative and instantly livened up the atmosphere. “Today, the first item we are auctioning is a power ful Demon, a Fourteenth Step Great Demon that can teleport on the battlefield. Whoever buys this powerful creature will own a powerful War Pet!”

Incited by the host’s words, several burly warriors pushed a heavy iron cage onto the auction stage. The iron cage was covered tightly by a piece of black cloth, shaking violently from time to time, letting out bursts of angry roars. When the black cloth was lifted, a burly Great Demon nearly five meters tall appeared before everyone.

His face was ferocious, and his whole body seemed to be bathed in a ball of fire, with heat waves rolling off him. He opened his mouth and roared, making the air in the entire auction hall seem to become scorching hot.

“Besides powerful combat ability, the Demon race has always been good in other aspects. Once tamed, it is a slave that never knows fatigue. Ladies, look at his pectoral muscles, look at his thick thighs; never worry about his impact and stamina!”

As the host spoke, he winked. The warriors pulled hard on the iron hooks in their hands, tearing off the Demon’s clothes to reveal muscles full of power and wildness, causing a burst of piercing screams. The men in the auction hall turned their heads aside in disdain, while some wealthy and powerful women, who did not know how to pass their empty and lonely time, lit up, their eyes slowly becoming burning hot.

Powerful races like the Ghost Race and Demon always treated the Wasteland as a hunting ground. However, in some powerful castles, the figures of Great Demons could be seen from time to time, secretly brought to auction houses by powerful Demon Hunters to be sold. These powerful creatures had always been hot items in auction houses.

Roar…

Perhaps sensing his tragic fate, or perhaps feeling an unprecedented insult, the Great Demon locked in the iron cage roared loudly. With a forceful pull of his hands, he actually managed to forcibly twist a thick iron pillar out of shape. His violent power and burly aura caused another burst of amazement.

“Oh, my god, gentlemen, ladies, look at this immense power!”

The experienced host put on an exaggerated manner, further inciting the excited nerves of the people. “The starting price is 50,000 Amethyst Coins, with increments of 500. Ladies and gentlemen, for just 50,000 Amethyst Coins, this powerful Great Demon is yours!”

“50,000 Amethyst Coins!”

“Adding 2,000, 52,000!”

…

The bids got higher and higher, and soon, it rose from the lowest 50,000 Amethyst Coins to a full 80,000. In the end, it was won by a veiled noblewoman.

“Randolph, are there any Great Demons or powerful creatures imprisoned in the Monastery? Bring them all out to sell!”

Watching the rich merchants and nobles in the auction hall spend money like flowing water, Hu Feng shook his head. 80,000 Amethyst Coins was an amount an ordinary person could not earn in a lifetime of hard work, but in the eyes of these rich people, it seemed not worth mentioning, as if they had too much money to handle. It seemed that the massive Glory Castle indeed gathered a large amount of the Wasteland’s wealth.

“Oh, Lord, this…”

Randolph broke into a sweat. Even if there were such powerful creatures imprisoned in the Monastery, how could they be dragged out and sold at will? He stammered for a long time and finally squeezed out a sentence. “Lord, according to the laws of the Divine Court, it seems that whenever a Judgment Divine Official arrives at a place, he can advance a sum of Crystal Coins from the local Monastery!”

“How much? If not a million, it should be at least a few hundred thousand, right?” Hu Feng looked at Randolph with interest, dealing another blow to the latter.

“It seems… it seems there are several thousand!” Mustering the courage to finish the sentence, Randolph quickly shut his mouth tightly.

Several thousand?

Hu Feng rolled his eyes. Such a small amount probably couldn’t even buy a leg of a Great Demon. It seemed that although the Divine Court was rich, it was also extremely stingy.

After selling the Great Demon, under the host’s instigation, several rare items were sold. There was an indestructible sword, a Dragon Horse as fast as lightning, and even an empty city, making the atmosphere in the auction hall increasingly frenetic. The most unexpected thing was a small bottle of dragon perfume said to be made from the saliva of an ancient Sacred Dragon; just such a small bottle of perfume actually fetched a sky-high price of 800,000, making people click their tongues in amazement.

“Gentlemen, ladies, next, let us welcome the final treasure of today’s auction!”

Although the weather was cold, the host, who had been inciting the atmosphere, was still busy sweating. After clapping his hands lightly, the guards carefully carried up an exquisitely carved crystal plate covered with a bright red cloth. When the red cloth was lifted, a small crystal tower appeared before everyone.

Although small in size, it had everything from palaces, windows, to plazas. One could even faintly see little people walking around ceaselessly. The entire small crystal tower seemed to be a world condensed millions of times over!

Crystal World!

This final treasure finally appeared before everyone.

Looking at this priceless treasure, the rich merchants and noblewomen in the hall wisely chose to watch. Everyone knew that such a treasure was prepared for the distinguished guests in the private rooms; ordinary people had no qualification to participate.

“This is a world composed of crystal, the Crystal World, a legendary Semi-plane. It was found under the Arctic Ocean by the Hell Gate Demon Hunter team after they lost a large number of troops.”

The host paused, then continued, “The value of this treasure is simply immeasurable. Legend has it that owning a Semi-plane is equivalent to becoming a god who surpasses a Demi-god Stronger, eternal and indestructible. The starting price is 100 million Amethyst Coins, with increments of 10 million!”

100 million Amethyst Coins?

The entire auction hall instantly erupted, pushing the already frenetic atmosphere to a climax.

“This is indeed a rare treasure, but…”

Hu Feng closed his eyes, focusing his mind to sense the treasure of the Crystal World. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.

His massive Divine Sense penetrated it, as if arriving in a boundless world. Unlike the Magic Power outside, the air rippled with a never-before-encountered energy, cold and vast. Inhaling just a wisp, his internal muscles and bones seemed to be plated with a thin layer of crystal, and the energy fluctuations in his body slowly cooled down, making his true strength undetectable, as if he were in an ancient frozen world.

Good stuff!

This was the real treasure!

Hu Feng quickly realized the value of this Crystal World. If he obtained this treasure and successfully integrated it into his body, his strength would definitely have a qualitative leap. Unfortunately, let alone 100 million, he couldn’t even produce 10,000 Amethyst Coins.

“200 million!”

Soon, an old voice came from a private room on the east side. Starting directly at 200 million, doubling the price, it extinguished the hopes of some rich merchants who originally still had a glimmer of hope. The walls, covered tightly, blocked the detection of ordinary people, but they could not hide from Hu Feng’s sensing. A trace of Divine Sense seeped out, and the situation in the east private room was clear to him.

An old man wearing brocade robes sat upright on a tiger-skin chair. With a square face and big ears, he looked majestic even when not angry; one could tell at a glance he was a big shot who had been in a high position for a long time. Behind him stood two motionless guards, each possessing strength no weaker than Randolph, the Sword Saint.

“210 million!”

From the private room next to the crowd, a cold voice came out, showing no weakness.

Unlike the Brocade-Robed Old Man, this was a young man wearing a large black cloak on his head. Black eyes, black hair, black clothes, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in darkness. Behind him stood four guards in the same attire, expressionless. Their black clothes rippled with a sacred aura, but deep within their bodies, they hid a majestic Death Aura. Especially the young man in the lead, the Death Aura in his body was so intense that even Hu Feng, the Lich King, could not match it!

An old monster who had practiced Cultivation for millions of years?

Hu Feng was shocked and secretly paid attention to the movements of this group.

The holy Glory Castle could be said to be a Forbidden Land for Dark Creatures. That a Dark Creature dared to sneak in meant only one explanation: his strength was powerful to an outrageous degree!

“300 million!” The Brocade-Robed Old Man in the east private room bid again, his momentum overwhelming, directly increasing by 90 million, making people surprised again.

“310 million!”

“500 million!”

“510 million!”

The black-clad young man responded quickly, increasing by just 10 million each time, making the wealthy Brocade-Robed Old Man so angry his eyes turned red. After gritting his teeth, he quoted a sky-high price of 800 million.

“1.2 billion!”

After a moment of silence, just when people thought the Crystal World would belong to the Brocade-Robed Old Man, the black-clad young man quoted a jaw-dropping price. In an instant, the auction hall fell silent. The Brocade-Robed Old Man, who was determined to win, also deflated. After a cold snort, he whispered a few instructions to the two guards behind him, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

“Randolph, return to the Monastery. In the name of Judgment, gather all the Faith-guarding Knights that can be assembled for me!”

Hu Feng’s thoughts moved like lightning as he gave the order in a deep voice.

“Lord, you mean…” Randolph secretly made a gesture of cutting off a head.

“No, don’t attack yet. We will watch a big show tonight. If we are lucky, we might catch a big fish!” Hu Feng smiled evilly and quickly thought of a plan.

For a peerless treasure, buying it with money was too unskillful and boring; he always preferred more direct methods. The black-clad young man was powerful, and perhaps had a massive force behind him, but no matter how strong he was, he had to see whose territory this was.

A Judgment Divine Official who is superior to others; such good power would be truly wasted if not used properly!

After winning the treasure of the Crystal World, the group of people in black quickly left without any pause, rushing directly out of the city gate. Watching their retreating figures, the Brocade-Robed Old Man smiled coldly and sat in a magnificent carriage. He was completely unaware that at the top of the auction hall behind him, in a place difficult for ordinary eyes to distinguish, stood a blurry figure.
