Chu Xiu was a bit disappointed that the Law Fragnt seed to be a separate transaction, with the trader not present to satisfy his curiosity.
Similarly, among those who bid on the items, many chose to hide their identities.
Everyone was strong, and the transactions proceeded very quickly. Before long, it was ti for the final ten headline auction items.
"Transaction number 9 is complete, please have the parties for item 8 step forward for the transaction," Divine Power Daoist’s voice resounded.
Chu Xiu silently counted, in two more people, it would be his turn.
This 8th item was a highly dangerous Forbidden Object, called the [Modosuo Eye], with unknown effects. Chu Xiu had paid particular attention to it since he also had a Forbidden Object to sell.
Speaking of which, Chu Xiu felt that there seed to be an especially large number of Forbidden Objects appearing at this auction.
At the auctions in Kyoto and Shanghai, among a total of 600 exhibits, there was only one Forbidden Object, and even in private transactions, there were only three more.
After all, these dangerous items were actually under strict control by the regulatory bureau.
Otherwise, if a Forbidden Object were to go out of control in a densely populated city, it would lead to unimaginable consequences.
The regulatory bureau has a specific set of thods for detecting and tracking Forbidden Objects, which can be discovered even if they’re hidden in a storage space.
Because of this, trading Forbidden Objects can easily bring unnecessary trouble, making such transactions usually conducted secretly in private.
The last transaction was only for a smaller Forbidden Object, not very harmful.
But at this auction, so far, there had already been 6 Forbidden Objects, with two even among the top ten headline Secret Treasures.
"Is it because the ergence of the Law Fragnt makes everyone think there’s a special gray area at this auction?" Chu Xiu mused inwardly.
But he only turned this thought over in his mind, not dwelling on it.
At this mont, the Forbidden Object transaction had already begun.
"Your Excellency, you’ve bid 800,000 Cause and Effect Points, correct? Please check the goods, and if there are no issues, please proceed with the paynt," Divine Power Daoist placed a tal sphere in the buyer’s palm.
However, after inspecting it for a while, the latter made no further moves.
Divine Power Daoist slightly furrowed his brow.
"Esteed buyer, please..."
Before he could finish, the person suddenly grabbed the Forbidden Object and sprinted towards the auction hall’s exit!
"Courting death." Divine Power Daoist snorted coldly, a bolt of lightning shot from his hand at an incredible speed, striking the fleeing man’s back!
Chu Xiu didn’t even see the speed of his action clearly before the buyer was already screaming and fell to the ground, thick black smoke rising from his body!
A look of astonishnt flashed in Chu Xiu’s eyes. Divine Power Daoist’s strike was too fast! He thought, if it were him, he wouldn’t have a chance to dodge that strike! Truly worthy of a Demigod Level power!
Evidently, Divine Power Daoist had held back; otherwise, a single bolt of Celestial Thunder would have turned that runner to ashes on the spot. This strike only pierced his flesh.
"Think you can steal anything right under this old man’s nose? You’re too naive," Divine Power Daoist’s gaze turned cold.
But at that mont, the Awakened who had been struck by Celestial Thunder not only stopped fleeing but instead emitted a low chuckle.
The laughter didn’t sound human; more like so organ imitating human vocal cords, producing a cold laugh devoid of emotion, which made Chu Xiu feel a chilling sense of impending doom.
Divine Power Daoist was also taken aback; he was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Not good, get out of the way!"
As his words fell, the man’s body abruptly exploded! Everyone was horrified to see that under the human skin lay a bizarre creature with dozens of limbs and dark brown, sticky skin!
The creature had no facial features and looked like a grotesque fusion of a spider and a starfish, with a spiked mouthpart on its underside that had completely devoured the Forbidden Object.
After devouring the Forbidden Object, the creature’s aura rapidly diminished, as if all its Life Force had been drained away in an instant!
In the next mont, a towering pillar of light burst forth from the Forbidden Object!
Boom!
The terrifying energy wave shattered the auction hall’s roof, blasting a massive gap through the outer defensive barrier! That pillar of light was like a sky-piercing Light Saber, tearing through the heavens!
Under everyone’s incredulous gaze, a massive rift unfolded in mid-air.
