Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1498: Chapter 1498: The Place Where the Sky Burns

"This Sky Burner Divine Hammer was once the personal weapon of our Divine Fire Dragon Knight. This time, it’s being auctioned following the will of the Divine Fire Dragon Knight. She hopes to find a suitable successor to inherit this glory and honor. This powerful Superior Divine Instrument ranks fourth among the artifacts held by our Dragon Clan, and fifth among the known artifacts in the entire Dragon Horse Galaxy. The auction starts now, with an opening bid of five million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins, and each raise no less than one hundred thousand Sky Dragon Crystal Coins."

It turns out that the artifacts in the Dragon Horse Galaxy are ranked, and this Sky Burner Divine Hammer ranks astonishingly high. Moreover, it’s Zhang Chujia’s weapon. Lan Xuanyu was even more surprised now; how come Zhang Chujia didn’t pass it down to her son, but instead chose to auction it? A starting bid of five million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins! In terms of tier, this offensive artifact certainly surpasses the previous Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover, but in terms of actual value, due to the unique nature of the Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover, it might not necessarily exceed it. However, the starting bid fully showcases the power of the Superior Divine Instrument.

What’s Zhang Chujia’s purpose? This was what Lan Xuanyu pondered the most at the moment. Let’s wait and see. If this artifact ends up being reclaimed by the Dragon Clan, it means it’s just a display piece. However, as the final main auction item, it is different from the previous Destroying Divine Dragon Armor. If they reclaim it personally, it would be quite disgraceful.

With a heart full of questions, Lan Xuanyu watched as the final auction of the day commenced.

"Six million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins!" The first bidding voice rang out.

Lan Xuanyu’s mind slightly fluttered, immediately sensing the direction from which the voice came, and his heart followed with a move. Because the one who made the bid turned out to be from the Sky Horse Clan booth near the Dragon Clan.

Instantly, a light bulb went off in his mind, revealing a possibility.

"Six million one hundred thousand!" The second bid followed swiftly.

After all, this is a Superior Divine Instrument! Even within the powerful races of the Dragon Horse Federation, it certainly stands as a cornerstone artifact. To rank top among the galaxy’s powerful artifacts, its might is evident.

However, since its total price is very high, there aren’t many participants. The second row almost didn’t make any bids, as it directly excluded them due to the five million asking price. Almost all the major leaders in the first row made the bids.

For such an expensive mighty artifact, one must consider whether they can afford its price and whether there is someone suitable to use it. Both of these are critically important. Therefore, everyone’s bids were relatively cautious.

Soon, the price rose to seven million!

Will it exceed the previous Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover?

Just then, the Sky Horse Clan booth rang out again, "Eight million." The voice was calm and composed, yet a peaceful and vast divine consciousness had already spread from the booth, transforming into an invisible pressure.

Sky Horse Sect Leader!

Lan Xuanyu instantly recognized the identity of this figure. He became even more convinced of his previous thoughts.

If the powerful artifact presented by the Dragon Clan is reclaimed by the Dragon Clan themselves, of course, it’s disgraceful, but if it’s reclaimed by their close ally, the second-ranked Sky Horse Clan in the entire federation, it’s different.

So now, there are two possibilities. One is that the Sky Burner Divine Hammer exists as a gimmick, and the other is that it’s a transaction between the Sky Horse Clan and the Dragon Clan.

The Sky Horse Clan should have paid a price, trading something with the Dragon Clan to obtain this top-tier artifact, at least allowing the artifact to appear at the auction.

Overall, the second possibility is much larger. Because with the previous Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover’s caused sensation, it was reasonable for that artifact to be the main auction item. The appearance of the Sky Burner Divine Hammer implies its purpose is not just for the auction.

Thinking of this, Lan Xuanyu became calm, confirming that this artifact is surely prepared for the Sky Horse Clan, and no matter what, the Sky Horse Clan is determined to acquire it.

The divine consciousness released by Sky Horse Sect Leader aims to make other bidders give him this face, while also showing the determined will of the Sky Horse Clan for this artifact.

In terms of wealth, the Sky Horse Clan is also one of the strongest clans within the Dragon Horse Federation, albeit by any means, they have a good chance of acquiring it.

The Celestial Harmony Prime Minister hesitated after he raised his bidding plate, considering the price. He would be willing to acquire a top-tier artifact. The Celestial Harmony Clan also has competitiveness. But the Sky Horse Sect Leader’s threat makes him hesitate.

Opposing the establishment of the Dragon Horse Federation is one thing, standing directly in opposition to the Sky Horse Clan is another. For their Celestial Harmony Clan, catching up with the Sky Horse Clan and Dragon Clan requires time. Although the Sky Burner Divine Hammer is powerful and notable throughout the Dragon Horse Galaxy, in his heart, it is far less valuable compared to the Heaven and Earth Inversion Cover. It’s not very worthwhile to offend the Sky Horse Sect Leader for such an artifact.

Merchants weigh interests, and he was no different. From this interest balance, it’s indeed not very appropriate! Moreover, if the Sky Horse Sect Leader merely wants this artifact, the price offered would be highly likely extremely high, ultimately just raising the price himself but failing to obtain it.

After a quick pondering, the Celestial Harmony Prime Minister ultimately set his bidding plate down. Although having a top-tier artifact is excellent for the Celestial Harmony Clan, they shouldn’t force themselves too much when it’s obviously impossible to obtain.

After listening to the voice of the Sky Horse Sect Leader, leaders of other clans also remained silent, refraining from bidding further. Such is the deterrence power of a generation of supreme powerhouses. With the Sky Horse Sect Leader personally appearing, even the Sky Dragon Leader must show some courtesy. Moreover, the price of eight million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins is already a rather terrifying existence.

Lan Xuanyu coldly observed towards the Sky Dragon Leader’s direction, seeing him seated there without any signs, his expression normal, with no intention of bidding anymore.

Lan Xuanyu slightly narrowed his eyes, undoubtedly there must be some transactions involved. What did the Dragon Clan exchange for the Sky Horse Clan with such a high price?

"Eight million once, eight million twice, eight million thrice, sold!"

The hammer falls, the main item is sold.

The Sky Horse Clan took this top-tier artifact with a high price of eight million Sky Dragon Crystal Coins.

Nevertheless, the one who received the artifact on stage wasn’t the Sky Horse Sect Leader, but Lan Xuanyu’s old acquaintance, Li Menglong, the son of the Sky Horse Sect Leader.

Li Menglong stepping onto the stage with a smile, a trace of divine consciousness fluctuations vaguely appearing on his body, Lan Xuanyu was surprised to find that, unbeknownst to him, this person had already become a divine.

During the Future Newcomer Challenge, Li Menglong had organized multiple people trying to threaten him and eventually capture him, but he gave up when he saw it wasn’t feasible. Throughout the process, the son of the Sky Horse Sect Leader never actually acted personally. Hence, Lan Xuanyu was also unaware of his exact power level.

It hasn’t been that long since then, and yet Li Menglong has broken through to divinity. Is this Sky Burner Divine Hammer meant for him?

As the protective shield activated, Li Menglong’s divine consciousness shrouded the artifact, and a faint red light flashed on his body, covering the Sky Burner Divine Hammer. He cautiously collected this top-tier artifact, then slightly bowed to express gratitude before stepping down. When passing the Dragon Clan booth, he smiled towards Lan Xuanyu’s direction. It seems he was reminding her of tonight’s appointment.

The Sky Burner Divine Hammer was given to Li Menglong! Does this guy’s Sky Horse Battle Qi have fire attributes? That’s quite peculiar. Lan Xuanyu maliciously thought whether it has anything to do with the Sky Dragon Leader’s fire attributes. Of course, he was just pondering.
