Open up and break into another world

“Okay, then we'll settle everything at once after the auction ends!” The enchanting maid didn't doubt it; after all, this kind of situation was very common in the auction house.

However, when this enchanting maid excused herself, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes, as if blaming Xu Ming for not understanding her intentions.

… …

Box number three.

It was Bai Murong's box.

“It's the person in box seventeen…” Bai Murong couldn't help but be a little shocked—ten thousand low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals wasn't a large sum for Bai Murong; however, Xu Ming's domineering bid still stunned him!

The two alluring female cultivators accompanying Bai Murong also had sparkling eyes, wondering what they were thinking: “That person… is so domineering!”

“Hmph!” Hearing his female companions praise someone else, Bai Murong's face darkened slightly, and he said, “Domineering? What do you two know! —Only people who don't have enough confidence would shout prices like that, as if afraid others wouldn't know they're rich! Look at me; even if I don't bid, would anyone doubt my wealth?”

… …

Box number twenty-three.

It was the box of Grandmaster Yujian and his disciple Lin Xu.

“Master… Master!” Lin Xu looked at Grandmaster Yujian, a look of suspicion in his eyes, and said, “Didn't you say… that person was putting on a show to come to the luxury area, and definitely couldn't afford any precious treasures?”

Grandmaster Yujian only felt his face burning—Xu Ming once again slapped his face with his actions.

However, the most important thing for a grandmaster-level figure is to have a thick skin!

Grandmaster Yujian maintained a very indifferent expression and said calmly: “This True Demon Armor probably has some special meaning to this person, so he spared no expense to bid for it! —Watch, he definitely won't be able to afford a second treasure!”

Lin Xu thought for a while and couldn't help but nod—after all, in his opinion, if the True Demon Armor didn't have some special meaning, it really didn't make sense for someone to spend ten thousand low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals to buy it!

At this time, a second treasure appeared on the auction stage.

This was a milky white jade bead, the inside of the bead filled with a hazy Chaos aura.

“Primordial Bead, can slightly increase cultivation speed!” Elder Jie Chen introduced the second treasure.

Although this Primordial Bead can only slightly increase cultivation speed, it can be used continuously. And the path of seeking the Dao requires a steady flow, so this is definitely a good auxiliary treasure!

The great powers all shifted their attention away from Xu Ming and back to the auction stage.

“This Primordial Bead, although not a cultivation treasure, is very practical!”

“This bead is good! After bidding, you can not only use it yourself but also lend it to others!”

Under pairs of expectant eyes, Elder Jie Chen announced the starting price: “Starting price is thirty thousand low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals, each bid must increase by no less than…”

“Three hundred thousand low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals!” Before Elder Jie Chen could finish speaking, Xu Ming's calm voice rang out again.

Those great powers who were preparing to bid swallowed the words that had reached their mouths.

Damn it!

Three hundred thousand low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals!

Once again, he directly quoted a terrifying price ten times the starting price!

Moreover, this price undoubtedly far exceeded the value of the Primordial Bead itself; even if other great powers wanted to obtain this treasure, they simply didn't dare to increase the price!

Instantly, the entire venue was once again silent.

Inside box number twenty-three, Grandmaster Yujian had just said: Watch, he definitely won't be able to afford a second treasure…

“Master, this…” Lin Xu looked at Grandmaster Yujian, his eyes increasingly questioning his so-called ability to judge people.

“I…” This time, what could Grandmaster Yujian say? —Xu Ming had already slapped his face three times in a row with his actions.

… …

Next, one treasure after another was brought onto the auction stage.

But no matter what treasure was brought up, Xu Ming didn't say a word and directly quoted a price ten times the starting price.

“One hundred thousand low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals!”

“Two hundred thousand low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals!”

“Fifty thousand low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals!”

“One hundred thousand…”

The auction house was originally supposed to be a very lively place; but now, all the great powers were so shocked by Xu Ming that they couldn't speak. The entire venue was completely silent except for the voices of Xu Ming and Elder Jie Chen; it was as if the great powers had all suddenly become as reserved as unmarried young women.

What is a Divine Tyrant?

This is a Divine Tyrant!

… …

“Who exactly is the person inside box seventeen?”

Even the higher-ups of the Covenant Alliance auction house were shocked by Xu Ming.

“Never seen this person before! He should be new to the Ancient Stepping God City, and perhaps even new to the Ancient Remnant World!”

“Could it be… that he's here to cause trouble?” a higher-up asked doubtfully.

“Cause trouble? When our Covenant Alliance auction house was first established, there were a few people who came to cause trouble! But… those people were hung at the city gate of the Ancient Stepping God City, tortured for countless billions of years as a warning to others, and then no one dared to cause trouble again!”

“Hmph! Indeed! Anyone who dares to cause trouble at our Covenant Alliance auction house has only one outcome: to wish for death but be unable to die! —Within the auction house, there is the suppression of a great formation, and even if he wants to commit suicide, he can't!”

The personal strength of the great powers of the Covenant Alliance is generally weak; if they face the most top-notch Flood Desolate Realm ninth-order genius within the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm, even if hundreds of Flood Desolate Realm eighth-orders in the Covenant Alliance join forces to intercept, they may not be able to keep the opponent! Therefore… in the various strongholds of the Covenant Alliance, the formations are set up to be incomparably powerful!

Use powerful formations to make up for the disadvantage in strength!

Especially in places like auction houses, the formations are even more powerful to the point of being terrifying! Even existences at the Myriad Things Realm don't even think about breaking out of the formation!

And within the Ancient Remnant World, there are no existences whose cultivation has reached the Myriad Things Realm; the strongest are those top-notch Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm geniuses who can match the strength of a Myriad Things Realm first-order with their Flood Desolate Realm ninth-order cultivation!

That is to say—no matter who it is, if they dare to cause trouble in the Covenant Alliance auction house, they don't even think about having a good ending!

“However, what if… the person inside box seventeen is really ignorant and came to cause trouble, then the reputation of our Covenant Alliance will be greatly damaged by him!” Elder Yue Yao, who was in charge of the auction house, narrowed his eyes and said, “I'll go meet this person and see if he has enough wealth!”

Third update. The fourth update is coming soon.
