Chapter 0942: Ten Thousand!

“One hundred billion!”
As Huang Long’s voice fell, the scene fell dead silent—so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
One hundred billion innate divine pills were equivalent to one hundred first-class spiritual veins!
Everyone present turned their gaze toward Huang Long’s VIP room, filled with shock.
Who could be so wealthy as to spend one hundred billion innate divine pills just to buy a piece of Yuanlong Divine Iron?! Even if this piece was of high quality, its value would be at most around twenty billion.
One hundred billion—five times more!
“Who is it? Who dares to spend one hundred billion?” In the VIP room, Leng Yue was furious, her eyes glowing like the moon as she stared at Huang Long’s room. Yet, a force repelled her gaze back.
Leng Yue let out a soft cry of pain as her eyes stung.
“One hundred and ten billion!” Leng Yue’s voice was low as she ordered the six women behind her, “Find out who this person is!”
One hundred and ten billion?!
When Leng Yue spoke, the crowd was once again shocked and turned to look at her VIP room.
“I’ll bid two hundred billion!” Huang Long, sitting casually in the VIP room, spoke up again.
Two hundred billion!
The once silent crowd erupted into chaos.
“Two hundred billion?! Who is this person? To spend two hundred billion on a piece of Yuanlong Divine Iron!”
“Could it be the head of some major family?!”
“Even if not, they must be a powerful figure—otherwise, who could afford one hundred first-class spiritual veins?”
In the VIP room, Leng Yue listened to the crowd’s discussions, her expression dark and her beautiful eyes filled with coldness.
She had come here to gather as much Yuanlong Divine Iron as possible to use in crafting her lower-tier great divine artifact. She had originally thought thirty billion innate divine pills would be enough to buy it, but now someone had emerged as a “dark horse,” raising the price to two hundred billion innate divine pills!
Two hundred billion innate divine pills wasn’t much of a problem for her. But this time, she hadn’t brought many innate divine pills or spiritual veins, and she still needed to buy other things.
“Two hundred billion innate divine pills! Is there anyone else willing to bid? Otherwise, this Yuanlong Divine Iron will go to VIP Room Number 13!” the host called out excitedly.
“Two hundred and ten billion!” Leng Yue said through gritted teeth as silence reigned.
Two hundred and ten billion!
Huang Long sneered upon hearing this. He stretched out his right hand, fingers spread, and declared loudly, “Five hundred billion!”
Five hundred billion struck like thunder, echoing in the ears of everyone present.
“Five hundred billion?!” Many people stood up in shock, unable to believe it.
In the VIP room, Leng Yue’s face turned as dark as water as she clenched her fingers tightly.

Ultimately, amidst widespread astonishment, that piece of Yuanlong Divine Iron was declared to belong to Huang Long. With a simple wave of his hand, rivers composed of countless Innate Divine Pills flew out from Huang Long’s VIP room. Pile after pile—exactly five hundred piles! Each pile contained precisely one hundred million pills! In total, five hundred billion pills! An elder from the Heavy Divine Merchant Guild respectfully delivered the Yuanlong Divine Iron to Huang Long’s VIP room. After the elder left, Huang Long set up restrictions around the area before swallowing the Yuanlong Divine Iron whole. After ingesting it, he activated the Supreme Transformation Technique to integrate it into his body. As it transformed, the Dragon Gate, a divine artifact of the dragon race within him, underwent a transformation. The arrival of this divine artifact triggered a transformation, elevating the Dragon Gate to a lower-tier Great Path Divine Artifact. When it became a lower-tier Great Path Divine Artifact, it resonated with the other thirty-three such artifacts, emitting brilliant light and merging their energies to empower Huang Long’s body. Huang Long’s body emitted a humming sound as it became even more solidified, reaching the true pinnacle of a lower-tier Great Path Divine Artifact—just one step away from ascending to a mid-tier one! “Good, the Dragon Gate has finally become a lower-tier Great Path Divine Artifact. Once I swallow two or three more of these, my body will be able to fully ascend to a mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifact. Then I can continue to devour fragments of mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts to make my body even more powerful!” Huang Long was secretly delighted as he sensed the changes in his body. A mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifact! Once his body reached that level, even facing ten era-powerful beings would no longer intimidate him. After the Yuanlong Divine Iron, the auction featured many other valuable items. However, Huang Long did not participate in bidding and remained silent. “VIP Room Number 13 spent five hundred billion Innate Divine Pills at once—now they must be penniless!” “Even the head of an ordinary noble family, who used five hundred first-tier spiritual veins at once, couldn’t afford much more!” “Even if one wants to save face, you shouldn’t spend money like this! Spending five hundred billion for a thirty-billion Yuanlong Divine Iron—what an idiot!” Many people were discussing this. Leng Yue bought two treasures in a row, full of confidence. Seeing that Huang Long’s VIP room had fallen silent, she sneered, “So ignorant of their limits!” “So ignorant of their limits” was her usual phrase for mocking opponents who dared oppose her. “Next, we will auction two lower-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts!” the host announced, then had a pair of swords brought out—one green and one red.

“This pair of lower-grade great path artifacts is called the Azure Dragon Fire Phoenix Sword. They rank 5,321st and 22nd respectively. When combined, their power is comparable to that of mid-grade great path artifacts. The starting bid is 5,000 first-grade spiritual veins, with each increase being no less than 10 first-grade spiritual veins!” the host continued.

As soon as the host finished speaking, the crowd immediately became agitated.

“The Azure Dragon Fire Phoenix Sword—what a precious item! With these two swords, my attack power will increase by at least 50%!”

“Too expensive, though—5,000 first-grade spiritual veins!”

5,000 first-grade spiritual veins is equivalent to 50 king-grade spiritual veins. This is already the price of a mid-grade great path artifact. But since their combined power is comparable to that of such an artifact, it’s not really expensive after all.

“I must get these Azure Dragon Fire Phoenix Swords!” Leng Yue stood up from her seat, her eyes burning with determination. She would buy them, and with her mother’s help, refine the two swords into one, creating a sword with even greater power than when they were separate.

“Whoever dares to compete with me for these Azure Dragon Fire Phoenix Swords will die!” said a middle-aged man in another VIP room, his eyes emitting a sickly green glow, his entire being radiating demonic aura.

It was Jiao Taiguang, the Grand Elder of the Demon Valley!

“5,100!” Jiao Taiguang shouted, his voice carrying an irresistible magnetic force.

Everyone in the room, except for the semi-saints, shuddered. No one dared to bid against him.

“5,200!” Leng Yue snarled from the VIP room.

Jiao Taiguang’s eyes flashed coldly as he shouted, “5,300!”

“5,400!”

“5,500!”

Only the voices of the two remained.

“10,000!” Suddenly, as the two were bidding fiercely, 100 at a time, a voice came from the room where Huang Long was!
