Chapter 1275: Two Supreme God Level Treasures!

Chapter 1275: Two Supreme Divine Treasures!

"Another one of His?!"

"Could He dare compete with me?!?"

Zhu Long clenched his teeth, glaring at the private lounge where Zhou Zhou was seated.

Though Zhu Long did not know the identity of the bidder seated within that lounge, he had witnessed firsthand the audacious acquisition of over 800 main-divine treasures by that individual.

Those over 800 main-divine treasures would require a staggering 300,000 main-divine crystal shards to purchase in full.

That figure wasn't merely staggering for Zhu Long—nor even for his master, Mingyue Sacred God. It was an utterly astonishing sum.

No matter how hard Zhu Long tried, he could not comprehend how such a thing could possibly be possible.

A master god from a black-tier tier-three chamber, at most a dominant-level lord faction—how could such a being possess so many divine crystals to bid on so many auction items?

Could it be that He inherited the entire legacy of some supreme deity?

And yet, by displaying such boldness at this mysterious auction, wouldn’t He risk being discovered by other deities, sparking envy and pursuit from them?

Most critically—

How dare a mere representative of a black-tier tier-three faction challenge a divine heir from a yellow-tier tier-one supreme deity faction for the same item?

Are you truly losing your sanity?

Don’t you fear that our Mingyue Sacred Land will come knocking, and have you not already earned a cup of tea?

He suppressed his fury and spoke calmly:

"Friend."

"Are you certain you wish to bid against me for this item?"

The field was silent.

Everyone approached it with a restless curiosity, eager to see how the super-bidder—whose bid had reached 806 items—would respond.

Would he dare to push forward, unafraid, raising his bid again and again?

Or would he simply withdraw, letting the item pass to the holy heir of Mingyue Temple, with a quiet, sincere surrender?

To be frank, even if he chose to step back, they wouldn’t have been at all surprised.

After all, this was the holy heir of Mingyue Temple, backed by a master of divine rank.

Who could dare challenge such a figure?

Yet, if such a turn actually occurred, they would feel a deep, satisfying thrill.

For when Zhou Zhou had first bid for those 806 items, though they had said nothing aloud, their inner resentment had already begun to grow.

A resentment rooted in envy—perhaps even a hatred of the wealthy.

So they were delighted to see Zhou Zhou suffer a misfortune.

Quickly.

A bidder from Black Grade Tier 102 booth spoke up.

He seemed astonished that the other would say such a thing, feigning confusion:

"Am I not allowed to bid?"

The moment the words left his lips,

a storm of noise erupted across the auction floor.

Some gods were excited, some shocked, some delighted by the suffering, others laughed heartily...

Tries covered his forehead.

This guy... facing the Sacred Son of the Supreme Divine Power, offered not a single shred of decorum?

No wonder they would be the masters of their future divine realm.

But as soon as he thought of Zhou Zhou's origins, his heart instantly calmed.

You, Zhú Róng, are indeed the son of the Mingyue Sacred Sect.

Yet the Celestial Emperor's Reverence is the favored one of the Supreme Will.

The gap between the Supreme Will and the Mingyue Sacred God is no different than that between a superhuman and an ordinary person.

In that light, it makes perfect sense that the Celestial Emperor's Reverence would not give the other side any face.

On the other hand—

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhú Róng erupted into furious laughter upon hearing Zhou Zhou's words.

"Four thousand and one main god-level divine crystals!"

He spoke coldly.

"Forty-three thousand upper-tier divine crystal cores."

Zhou Zhou replied indifferently.

"Forty-four thousand upper-tier divine crystal cores!"

"Forty-six thousand upper-tier divine crystal cores."

"Forty-seven thousand upper-tier divine crystal cores!!"

"Forty-nine thousand upper-tier divine crystal cores."

The tone of Zhou Zhou's bidding remained as calm and composed as ever.

As if what he was offering was not money, but filth itself.

Yet Zhu Rong's face flushed slightly.

He now found himself pressed into a corner, at a loss for how to proceed.

If he ceased bidding now, and the other master-tier, supreme-tier, and will-tier powers present saw it and spread the news, how would he face his teacher upon returning? What if his teacher felt disgraced and decided to remove him from his position as the Holy Son?

He felt trapped, like a tiger already leaping onto a cliff with no way down.

"There's only one path left," he gritted out. "Fifty thousand... crystals."

Just as he intended to continue speaking, an elderly man who had remained silent until now suddenly spoke up:

"Your Grace."

"The maximum expenditure allowed for the Holy Master's purchase of this item is fifty thousand primary-tier master god crystals.

Are you certain you wish to spend all your crystals to acquire this Soul-Calming Sacred Bell?"

"I..."

Zhu Ro opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

How could he possibly be willing to spend all his divine crystals just to acquire this one artifact?

After all, this was only the first among the supreme divine relics!

There would surely be even better ones coming after.

What if, when those came along, he had no divine crystals left?

"I understand."

After a long silence,

Zhu Ro spoke.

He looked toward the Black Rank Level Three, Room 102.

This competition—he had lost.

Though the loss stung with bitter regret,

it could only be this way now.

Meanwhile,

the auctioneer, Xiao Xi, noticed that Zhu Ro had stopped raising his bid and began the countdown.

Once the count reached zero, the first-tier, supreme divine artifact fell into Zhou Zhou’s hands, watched by countless main deities in envy.

Gazing at the small, ancient gray clock in his hands—no larger than a palm—Zhou Zhou’s face broke into an uncontainable smile.

This was His first supreme divine artifact!

Though only of the first tier, it was still profoundly valuable.

As for the reactions outside?

Why did He care?

This Soul-Protecting Bell, a divine artifact of the highest rank, serves not only as a guardian of the soul and will, but also enhances one's willpower—something of paramount importance to Him, a practitioner of willpower cultivation.

He would by no means abandon such a powerful artifact simply for the sake of appearing unassuming.

If one cannot afford divine crystals, that might be acceptable.

But since He can afford it, why would He give it up?

And even if His actions draw the attention of the highest-tier divine forces, He now knows he is favored and protected by the Supreme Will.

After all, this is the mightiest limb in the cosmos—He has this powerful support, what could possibly frighten him?

With no further hesitation, He diverted a sliver of his consciousness to monitor the auction proceedings, while channeling the vast majority of his focus into the refinement and assimilation of this supreme divine artifact.

As Auctioneer Xiao Xi had stated, due to the presence of the downgraded divine seal, this first-tier supreme divine artifact could be assimilated and utilized by a Supreme God.

After Zhou Zhou had forcibly elevated his strength to the level of a lower-tier Supreme God through the use of "King" and "Moon Demon," He effortlessly absorbed this first-tier supreme divine artifact.

"Unbelievable."

"A mid-tier deity of an upper god, I've suddenly begun using a divine artifact from a godly rank one level above me."

Only after fully absorbing it did Zhou Zhou realize how absurd his actions truly were, his face twisted with strange disbelief as he muttered to himself.

Then he shook his head, dismissing the thought, and turned his attention back to the auction.

The second divine artifact of the highest godly rank was also a first-rank divine artifact, but unlike the Spirit-Calming Sacred Bell, this one was an offensive divine weapon.

Its form was a jade-gold staff capable of unleashing a single blow equivalent to a first-rank godly being's full-force strike.

The starting bid for this first-rank divine artifact was 11,000 primary god-tier crystals or 110 first-rank god-tier crystals—10% higher than the Spirit-Calming Sacred Bell.

After a tense round of bidding, the gods collectively managed to secure the artifact for Zhou Zhou, who won it with 31,000 primary god-tier crystals.

The various godly factions glared fiercely at Black Grade Tier Three, Package No. 102.

Yet they could do nothing.
