"230 million Top Grade Celestial Stones!"
Asna's hope was imdiately shattered by a new bid made by Pratham. She hoped everyone to stop bidding. Unfortunately, Pratham outbid her.
Looks like Pratham ca here with full preparation. He knew that Red Source Crystals' value might surpass anything anyone has ever imagined. So, he ca here with enough celestial stones.
However, he never would have even imagined facing an opponent like Alex, who imdiately cut the chase and closed all doors for him to win the bid.
"500 million Top Grade Celestial Stones!"
Once again, everyone fell silent. This ti, the auction house was so quiet that even the drop of a tiny pin would sound loud.
How could people not be shocked when Alex increased the bid for Red Source Crystals directly by 270 million Top Grade Celestial Stones?
Although Alex did it to end the boring routine of constantly bidding out and fighting to win the Red Source Crystals, it is still a fact that no one could be as prodigal as him.
Not to ntion others, even Asna and Pratham were shocked. They could not believe there was a person who possess such great wealth. This amount of wealth was sothing that an overlord force could take out only after years of gathering money.
The auctioneer responsible for the auction was so shocked that his eyes opened wide and he seed to have received an electric shock. He was completely in a daze.
"Ahm~"
"If no one is increasing the bid, why don't you announce the winner?"
Seeing that no one was responding even after a long ti, Alex finally ntioned the auctioneer and said.
Only then did the auctioneer ca back to his senses and coughed two tis before nodding his head, and after calling out three tis, he finally announced the winner.
The auction ended and people started going out. But Alex did not leave the room. He waited, and very soon, an attendant entered the room with five Red Source Crystals.
Alex's eyes were shining brightly as he looked at these crystals. Then he gave a spatial ring filled with 500 million Top Grade Celestial Stones to the attendant and took the five Red Source Crystals from him.
With these five Red Source Crystals, Alex now had a total of ten Red Source Crystals.
Alex then said goodbye to Olav and Serena and imdiately walked out of the room. He was in a hurry to et Asna. He feared that Asna might not recognize his voice and return to the Heavenly Ice Palace.
Maybe, Serena had already seen through Alex's emotions, she did not stop Alex or said anything. Olav wanted to stop Alex, but he felt a piercing gaze at his back and shivered. Then he stopped and no longer tried to stop Alex.
Even though he was already a Divine Emperor, he still did not have the guts to face Serena and say anything or retaliate against her orders.
Alex went to Room No. 1 and just as he was about to knock when the gate opened and a beautiful lady walked out. She asked: "Are you Alex White?"
Alex imdiately nodded his head.
Seeing this, the girl took out an ice token and gave it to Alex, saying: "This is a token that represents Lady Asna. She wanted to et you but suddenly received an urgent call from her mother. So, she had no choice but to leave in hurry She gave this token so that you can go to the Heavenly Ice Palace and find her."
"Do you want to co with or you will go yourself later?"
Alex sighed when he heard the girl's words. It turned out that Asna imdiately recognized his voice and even wanted to et him, but suddenly, she had to return to the Heavenly Ice Palace because of an urgent call.
Taking a deep breath, Alex spoke: "Since she had already returned to the Heavenly Ice Palace, I will go there later to find her. She must have dealt with the urgent matter by then."
The beautiful girl did not say anything and simply nodded her head. Then she walked out of the auction house.
Alex sighed again and also walked out of the auction house. Then he used his space talent to teleport to a corner of Heavenly Ice City.
Alex did this because he knew trouble might co finding him after walking out of the auction house. He had no intention of dealing with any sort of trouble, so he simply disappeared.
As Alex had expected, indeed, just after he disappeared, many groups of people ca with the intention of finding him. Among these people were Ceres, Kautus, Shakeer, and even Pratham.
.....
In the forest outside the Heavenly Ice City, there was a lake full of icy-cold water.
Verom could be seen coming out of the depth of the lake with an oval-shaped stone.
Coming out of the lake, he started laughing loudly.
"Hahaha. Originally, this lucky encounter should have belonged to that bastard Ceres. However, it now belonged to . With this Heavenly Spirit Stone, I could beco the strongest person in the entire Essence Sky World easily. I will officially start my journey to the top of the world after killing Alex."
"I have been out of the Heavenly Ice City for a long ti now. I should go back, otherwise, those people whom I brought to kill Alex will beco anxious and might scatter around."
Verom muttered with sparkling eyes. Then he again looked at the Heavenly Spirit Stone in his hand and spoke: "Heavenly Spirit Stone, give a strong martial arts skill that should be extrely powerful even in the entire Essence Sky World."
As he spoke, the Heavenly Spirit Stone in his hand trembled and shone with light. The next second, an emotionless voice sounded.
[Cloud Slashing Palm, a palm skill that once overshadowed countless other skills in the Primordial Era. After mastering this skill, you will be able to topple mountains and overturn seas. There will be nothing that you can't conquer!]
[Would you like to learn this skill?]
Hearing this, Verom once again started laughing like crazy. Then he spoke: "I knew Heavenly Spirit Stone is a treasure that survived the calamity of the Primordial Era that created the Valley of Death. I also knew it has its own spirit, but I never expected to talk to the spirit of Heavenly Spirit Stone one day. Hahaha, this is aweso!"
Then he again said, "Yes! Of course, I will learn this overpowered Cloud Slashing Palm!"
Just as Verom said these words, a ray of light shot out of the Heavenly Spirit Stone and entered Verom's mind. The next mont, a lot of pieces of information appeared in my mind.
Just at this mont, a terrifying howl of a wolf resounded behind him, giving him a great scare!
Turning around, Verom saw a giant wolf covered in what seed to be fla-like fur!
Standing a whole head taller than Verom himself, the wolf looked extrely vicious, especially with its blade-like pair of claws that flickered with a flash of cold light!
Verom thought, "If I'm struck even once by this giant wolf, I will undoubtedly et my end here and beco dinner for that beast!"
Staring at the giant wolf, Verom could not help but feel slightly afraid as his eyes swayed erratically in fear.
Seeming to have noticed the fear in Verom's heart, the giant wolf let out a deep howl and slowly approached Verom.
At that mont, Verom was on the verge of being scared to death. He never thought just as he had obtained a heaven-defying opportunity like the Heavenly Spirit Stone, he will encounter a danger that he could not face with his current strength.
For a mont, Verom's mind went completely blank. Subconsciously closing his eyes, he appeared to be leaving his life up to fate. He clenched his fist that was holding the Heavenly Spirit Stone tightly.
As if sensing Verom's fear, a cold sensation spread out all over Verom's body from the Heavenly Spirit Stone, calming his terrified mind.
Recalling the existence of the Heavenly Spirit Stone, the fear lingering in Verom's eyes instantly dissipated as his state of mind returned to normal!
"I possess the Heavenly Spirit Stone. What is there to be afraid of?"
Verom's lips curled up into a cold smile as he stared at the Blazing Fla Wolf.
Feeling a sudden change in the aura of the human before it, the Blazing Fla Wolf lunged toward Verom without hesitation at extre speed!
Witnessing the terrifying speed of the Blazing Fla Wolf, Verom was greatly taken aback and trembled with fear. Just as he instinctively jumped to the side, he suddenly felt a jolting pain from the bleeding wound on his shoulder. The pain was so agonizing that he had to grit his teeth in order to endure it.
Having missed its initial attack, the Blazing Fla Wolf turned back around and charged toward Verom like a bolt of lightning. Seeming to have predicted the second attack of the beast, Verom took a slight step to the left and dodged its attack completely!
