Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1497: Chapter 1497: Big Axle, Sky Burner Divine Hammer

On the stage, Star Moon Dragon Knight Li Jingyi let out a breath and smiled, “I never expected to witness a miracle. Before the auction started, I didn’t anticipate such a high price. Thanks to the generosity of the prime minister of Tianhe. So, let’s proceed with today’s final auction item, which is also the ultimate highlight of today’s event.”

“We have already auctioned off seven artifacts before this. But these seven artifacts are mostly lower and middle-grade artifacts. Even the Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover that was just sold is within the realm of middle-grade artifacts. If it were a superior divine instrument, it wouldn’t have appeared in today’s auction.”

Indeed, if the Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover were at the superior divine instrument level, it would be something that can help upper-ranking Dragon Clan members in their tribulations. Why would the Dragon Clan sell it?

“As the ultimate highlight of today, the item we are about to auction is the biggest centerpiece of this event and the only true superior divine instrument.”

Superior divine instrument? A superior divine instrument is actually available?

Li Jingyi said, “At our God-level, there’s a saying that superior divine instruments are the true artifacts. The power of a superior divine instrument must be wielded by a true Super God-level powerhouse to maximize its potency. Conversely, only a superior divine instrument can withstand the full-force explosion of a Super God-level powerhouse and still unleash its unique characteristics. Even in our clan, superior divine instruments are scarce. We only finalized offering this superior divine instrument after several negotiations.”

The prime minister of Tianhe, who had already returned to his seat, somewhat complacent, couldn’t help but perk up his ears. Is there really a superior divine instrument up for auction? The Dragon Clan is really going all out! Or is it that they need more funds for the formation of the Dragon Horse Federation?

Superior divine instruments are up for auction? Even the Sky Dragon Leader might only have one or two superior divine instruments, right?

Li Jingyi is correct; superior divine instruments are the true meaning of artifacts. This is akin to the difference between a God-level strong individual going through elemental calamity versus heaven and earth tribulation, or universe tribulation. It’s a difference of tiers, and the effect varies greatly by that difference.

Li Jingyi made a longer introduction at today’s auction, “Today’s superior divine instrument is meant for attack. So, it’s an offensive artifact. Comparatively, defensive artifacts might be valued higher than offensive ones. But that premise is they can withstand attacks. Our superior divine instrument can definitely be described as earth-shattering. Its power is so strong that even we Dragon Knights find it challenging to face head-on.”

Challenging, not impossible to withstand. Lan Xuanyu silently chanted to himself, but the superior divine instrument was indeed quite attention-grabbing for him. He also knew that as the highlight of the auction, he definitely couldn’t afford it. But not being able to afford it doesn’t stop one from looking!

What exactly is it?

Everyone was eagerly anticipating Li Jingyi’s announcement.

Li Jingyi smiled slightly and said, “Alright, let’s unveil the ultimate highlight of today.”

The trolley appeared again, but unlike before, this time both the trolley itself and the cloth covering it were golden. The trolley wasn’t very large, indicating that the artifact’s size wasn’t big either. The entire trolley was over two meters long.

As the trolley was pushed to the front, all eyes became fixated on it. For a moment, everyone’s gaze was locked on it.

There’s definitely a shield inside, as nothing can be sensed from the outside.

Li Jingyi placed her hand on the golden cloth and said deeply, “This artifact’s fierce power has been sealed by us. Without Super God-level strength, its power cannot be used. So, after a successful bid, the recipient must be a Super God-level powerhouse. This is a reminder to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Teasing the curiosity, still teasing!

The curiosity of all the tribal leaders was fully ignited at this moment. What could it be?

And at this moment, Li Jingyi unexpectedly lifted the golden cloth in her hand.

Immediately, dazzling golden-red light burst forth from beneath the golden cloth, as if a small sun had suddenly appeared on the auction stage.

The extremely intense golden-red light erupted, leaving people dazzled. Although the energy within couldn’t be felt, just the light was enough to be astonishing.

Star Moon Dragon Knight Li Jingyi waved her right hand, and all the light seemed to be absorbed by her, causing the dazzling light to converge.

A shield with a two-meter diameter, filled with flowing golden-red light, could be vaguely seen. Inside that mass of golden-red, there was a shuttle-shaped short spear.

This short spear emitted blinding golden-red aura, with the aura within the shield somehow forming into the shape of a dragon.

It is a short spear but unlike a regular spear, as it is pointed at both ends. The spear length is only 1.2 meters, with the blades taking up the majority.

Lan Xuanyu suddenly heard a voice, somewhat thrilled, “Master, isn’t this the Sky Burner Divine Hammer? How could it be here?”

Lan Xuanyu asked in surprise, “You recognize this thing? Sky Burner Divine Hammer? What is it?”

The Treasure Hunting Beast said, “This is the real artifact. The previous ones, including the ones you auctioned, wouldn’t count for much in our former Divine Realm. Well, the Yin Yang Divine Plaque is slightly better. But this Sky Burner Divine Hammer is different; it’s the weapon of a level 1 god, once belonging to the Fire God. The Fire God was one of the Seven Great Elemental Gods. In the Divine Realm, all Seven Great Elemental Gods were level 1 gods.”

Lan Xuanyu knew that the level 1 gods mentioned by the Treasure Hunting Beast and Super God-level powerhouses were at the same tier, but the presence of a god title and the lack of one were almost a tier apart.

The Fire God’s weapon? Without a doubt, the power of this artifact was incredibly strong.

“How powerful can it be?” Lan Xuanyu curiously asked.

The Treasure Hunting Beast said, “Its quality is comparable to your Golden Dragon Spear. When the Sky Burner Divine Hammer was in the Fire God’s hands, it could trigger heavenly fire. At that time, our dragon clan and those humans engaged in a battle of gods. The Fire God’s destructive power ranked among the top levels of the Seven Great Elemental Gods. It was truly annoying. Now it seems, back then, it seems this Sky Burner Divine Hammer fell into our dragon clan’s hands and was discovered by these dragons from the Dragon Realm. That’s why it ended up with them. Master, if you can obtain the Sky Burner Divine Hammer, you should take it back. Your element control at the peak is equivalent to the fusion of all the Elemental Gods. In your hands, the Sky Burner Divine Hammer can exhibit immense power. It can be used as a throwable weapon.”

Listening to the Treasure Hunting Beast’s introduction, Lan Xuanyu saying he wasn’t tempted would be a lie, but…

“I can’t afford it!” Lan Xuanyu spoke indignantly.

Indeed, he couldn’t afford it! This was a true superior divine instrument, and anyone could see that its value was undoubtedly extraordinarily high. The several million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins in Lan Xuanyu’s pocket were really not enough.

Now, the only thing that puzzled Lan Xuanyu was why the Dragon Clan were willing to auction off such a precious artifact? This artifact’s value is likely even higher than his Seven-Colored Divine Dragon Armor! At least not much lower.

Could it be that no one in the Dragon Clan could use it? The Sky Dragon Leader has a fire attribute, doesn’t he? Could it be that he has something even better than this artifact?

Baffled in his heart, no matter how good the item is, it can only be watched as a spectator.

He didn’t doubt the quality of this artifact for a moment, or else the Treasure Hunting Beast wouldn’t have spoken up. It had not shown interest in any of the previous artifacts. Lan Xuanyu originally thought it was only sensitive to heavenly treasures, but it turns out it’s equally sensitive to artifacts, just that none sufficiently good had appeared before.
