Dominating Sword Immortal - Chapter 805

Chapter 805

With the Shadow Armor, Murong Qingcheng’s strength had increased by a lot, and her survivability had basically doubled . Going by her demonic power cultivation base, she could activate the armor for twenty five minutes . In this duration, even the ‘strongest’ half-step Kings wouldn’t be able to do anything to her .

However, defense and staying alive was merely a last resort . To truly increase one’s strength, one still needed a good offensive artifact .

As their guide, Wang Lan pitched some ideas as well .

“Gemstone Islands hold a grand auction every year . The site of the auction is the Golden Island situated in the dead center of the islands . Not one of the artifacts capable of appearing in the auction is anything but premium goods . Although I haven’t visited it personally, I’ve heard that the lowest level is peak upper grade while half supreme grade artifacts are too many too count . Moreover, the auction’s grand reveal is enough to make half-step Kings go crazy…Even Life and Death Kings join the bidding war occasionally . ”

“When is the auction?” Ye Chen was moved and asked .

Wang Lan replied, “Roughly a month . In this time, you should prepare well in terms of spirit stones . ”

“A month…that’s fortunate . ”

Ye Chen faintly nodded . They didn’t lack spirit stones at all . Although Murong Qingcheng had just spent thirty four million upper grade spirit stones, she still had seventy million left . As for Ye Chen, after obtaining Lin Yuxuan’s spirit ring, his upper grade spirit stones had reached a staggering number a hundred and eighty million . If not for Mysterious Yin Pagoda Master being too powerful, not allowing him to pick the storage rings of others, his spirit stones would number in several hundred million .

The more powerful a martial artist became, the less they would feel the passage of time . A month could be a long time for a mortal, allowing one to accomplish many things . One might become rich overnight or go bankrupt .

During this month, aside from increasing his cultivation base, he focused on the Waning Moon and Bewitching Mirror Destruction . Of course, the basics of space profound still held the topmost priority .

Waning Moon was a fusion profound martial skill, containing eighty percent completed gold profound and sixty percent completed water profound . Although it had been currently taken over by Bewitching Mirror Destruction, it still had a lot of potential . Moreover, Bewitching Mirror Destruction cost a lot of Zhen Yuan, and Waning Moon was a lot better in this respect .

To improve metal profound and water profound was naturally an extremely arduous task . After all, one could only have the state of being one with the world at the time of breakthrough . Although going from peak Sea of Soul realm to half-step King realm was called a breakthrough, it was merely a transition in reality .

Thus, being unable to increase profound in the short term, Ye Chen was not obstinate, and instead focused on the fusion of metal profound and water profound . He wasted no time during the month . Along with the improvement in fusion, the strength of Waning Moon increased at a rapid pace .

Bewitching Mirror Destruction contained the space profound . The amplification of pure might provided by forty percent space profound was equal to a hundred and twenty percent of ordinary profound, a lot stronger than the completion of ordinary profounds . This was Ye Chen’s ace, a killer move that he would not reveal easily .

Under the pressure of Demonic Kings, Ye Chen felt an urgency to cultivate Bewitching Mirror Destruction to completion . Although he would still be killed by a King even if he accomplished it, a glimmer of hope was still better than nothing .

Spurt!

A sword flashed, and the rockery in the courtyard twisted and layered, then suddenly disappeared . In the courtyard, Wang Lan was deeply stunned . To completely destroy rockery was nothing special . She could do it, and a Condensing Yuan martial artist could also do it . However, to accomplish it in this manner, vanishing the entire rockery without giving off a trace of energy, she had never seen it before .

Of course, the rockery had not truly disappeared, but devoured by the spatial power . To vanish a weak object like the rockery, the course of events could be directly omitted

Another half a month passed by, and the auction was about to begin . On this day, the three individuals headed to the Golden Island, with Wang Lan in the lead .

The Golden Island was vast, yet already packed with people . Under the illumination of the sunlight, it glowed with a dim golden color . As for the people on the island, they were either Sea of Soul realm experts or half-step Kings . There was not a single person under Sea of Soul realm .

Wang Lan said, “I cannot enter the island . Rest is up to you . ”

“You can return to the island first . Perhaps we’ll you need you more . ” Wang Lan was, after all, a person raised and born on Gemstones Island . Her advice before leaving the island might save them a lot of time .

Reaching the island, the two headed toward the single enormous building complex on the island .

The site of the Golden Island Auction was made precisely with gold . The dazzling golden glow under the sunlight made it a hundred folds more majestic than any building in Ye Chen’s original world . If it were to be transported there, it would become the greatest wonder of the world without a doubt .

Swish Swish Swish!

The island was already packed enough, but people still descended one after another . There was no lack of half-step Kings with imposing auras .

“Let’s go . ”

The two strode toward the auction site’s entrance .

The auction had no VIP seats, and the front rows were crammed with spectators . Meanwhile, the back seats were spacious and separated by golden barriers . They had a table surrounded by a few soft-cushioned seats, and a beautiful maid standing beside .

Ye Chen would naturally not squeeze in the crowd, so he sat together with Murong Qingcheng in the back . In fact, the place chosen by him was intended specifically for half-step Kings .

As they settled down, the maid served hot tea on the table that already had exotic-looking fruits and cakes .

“So many people!” Leaning back in his chair, Ye Chen slowly sipped his tea .

“Darklight King is also here . ” Murong Qingcheng glanced at the person in question three seats away .

The latter had also spotted the two . His eyes brimmed with unhidden killing intent, causing the nearby people to stand up and leave, not daring to sit too close to him .

Ye Chen faintly smiled, not sparing a glance in his direction .

As time passed, the spectators section’s seats were completely filled, and the seats in the back section were also occupied by more than half . There were many half-step Kings among them worthy of paying attention to . For example, at some point, Shi Shaobao, the raincoat wearing old man, and Huang Mei had also arrived .

In addition, there were a few more that aroused Ye Chen’s interest; for example, the two women in white robes . One was slightly older, looking in her thirties, and had a dignified face . Meanwhile, the other looked around twenty years old, with delicate features . She was, in fact, Yue Bingxin of Silvermoon Whitefox Clan .

Yue Bingxin sensed Ye Chen’s gaze and turned around . Seeing him and Murong Qingcheng sitting two seats back, her expression turned that of a pleasant surprise .

“Young Master Ye, didn’t expect to see you here!” Yue Bingxin spoke .

Ye Chen said, “What a surprise indeed! Seems like your clan’s Moonlight Island is not too far away from here . ”

“Right, it’s not far . ”

“Bingxin, who are you talking to?”

The face of the dignified woman beside Yue Bingxin turned strange as she saw the latter speaking to someone two seats away .

“Sister-in-law, he is the young master Ye Chen I told you about, the one who killed the gang of demonic human experts and saved my life . ”

“Oh, it’s him! Then thank them properly . ”

The dignified woman revealed a faint smile toward Ye Chen, her eyes carrying a trace of gratitude . If not for Ye Chen, Yue Bingxin would have been captured and taken back to the Demonic Human Clan . With Silvermoon Whitefox Clan, it would have been impossible for them to rescue her .

“Hello, I’m Yue Bingxin’s sister-in-law, Yue Lingshuang . Many thanks for saving Yue Bingxin! If there’s anything we can do, please speak without hesitation . ”

Ye Chen replied, “It was not worth much effort, please be at ease . ”

After a few pleasantries, the sides went back to their own business . However, at some point, Bing Lingshuang noticed Darklight King staring at Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng with unbridled killing intent every once in a while . She frowned, “Bingxin, I’m afraid your benefactor’s situation doesn’t look good . I see Darklight King and them having a major conflict . He seems as if can’t wait to head to their seats . ”

“How can this be?” Yue Bingxin hadn’t paid attention to Darklight King, so she immediately turned anxious . She had heard of his fame . He rarely had rivals under the Life and Death realm . Having offended him, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng were headed for doom . It would be hard for them to leave Gemstone Islands alive .

“Sister-in-law, you have to help them!” Yue Bingxin pulled at Yue Lingshuang’s sleeves .

“You don’t need to say it . I will not sit by and watch them lose their lives . However, I have no certainty of repelling Darklight King given his strength, neither can I protect them everywhere they go . They will have to follow use back to Moonlight Island and stay there for a period of time . He won’t dare to cause trouble at Moonlight Island . Once he leaves, they can silently leave . ”

Yue Lingshuang was a genius of the millennium on Moonlight Island . Since she dared to talk about protecting Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng, she was obviously a ‘strongest’ half-step King herself .

Hearing her words, Yue Bingxin let out a sigh of relief and decided to immediately take Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng back to Moonlight Island .

Around ten minutes passed by, and there was almost no space in the auction site . Soon, the auction master arrived on the stage and spoke a few words . With a wave of his hands, two beautiful maids, holding a disc each, walked to the stage, beginning the auction .

As Wang Lan said, even the lowest tier treasures were peak upper grade . The first item was a dagger, gleaming with a cold light . It was crimson in color, as if soaked in blood . It’s starting price was a hundred and fifty thousand upper grade spirit stones .

After a round of bidding, it was sold at a price of three hundred and fifty thousand upper grade spirit stones .

After a couple dozen items were auctioned, the auction entered the late phase . All the following items were either semi-supreme grade artifacts, rare spirit herbs, or unique materials that were unheard of .

“Thirty seventh item is a Heart Protecting Flower . ” On the stage, the host spoke passionately .

“Heart Protecting Flower!”

Ye Chen smiled bitterly . Before breaking through half-step King realm, he had always been desirous of the Heart Protecting Flower, but never succeeded . Who would have expected that he would see one after becoming a half-step King! It seemed like a cruel joke, and he could only smile bitterly .

Of course, even though he no longer had any use for it, it didn’t mean that others didn’t . So, he decided to bid for it for Ye family .

However, Ye Chen underestimated the demand for the Heart Protecting Flower . Those Sea of Soul realm experts could be directly ignored . The half-step Kings in the back alone increased the bid one after another without batting an eye . Many among them had sects behind them, and they would be compensated a lot more than they would be spending for the flower .
