Chapter 112: Devouring Divine Power
"210 million gold soul coins!"
Zhong Liwu from the Sacred Spirit Sect frowned slightly when he heard the price of 200 million, a flicker of hesitation crossing his eyes.
But soon, he made up his mind and raised his auction paddle again, increasing the bid by 10 million gold soul coins.
He was unwilling to give up so easily. In his view, the value behind this pet egg far exceeded the current price.
As long as he could successfully master the contract ritual, everything would be worth it.
"300 million gold soul coins!"
When Di Tian heard someone continue bidding, he didn't even blink, immediately raising his bid without hesitation, participating in the competition.
A terrifying pressure emanated from Di Tian's body, his eyes like burning torches, fixed on the precious pet egg.
In his heart, he silently vowed that no matter the cost, this pet egg could not fall into the hands of human soul masters.
To him, the gold soul coins were nothing, not worth mentioning.
Only this pet egg, with the bloodline of the dragon race, was the treasure he was determined to have.
Zhong Liwu felt the momentum of Di Tian's constant bidding and furrowed his brows, sharply directing his gaze toward Di Tian.
As a powerful soul master, he naturally understood the terrifying nature of Di Tian. The aura emanating from Di Tian made even him feel a deep sense of fear.
However, what truly stirred Zhong Liwu's heart was the silver-haired woman sitting in the very center.
She sat quietly, not releasing any aura, like an unfathomable deep well.
Yet for some reason, Zhong Liwu couldn't shake the strong feeling that this woman was far more powerful than he had imagined!
He could sense that if he made even the slightest mistake, he might fall into an irreversible situation, even losing his life.
This feeling came without reason but was so strong, as though his innate sixth sense was sending a warning.
He speculated in his mind that this silver-haired woman's strength might even surpass that of his incredibly powerful mother, Long Xiaoyao.
Zhong Liwu shifted his gaze back to Di Tian, closely observing his every move.
He saw that Di Tian's expression was cold, unmoved by his bidding, his eyes full of determination, as though he would not stop until he achieved his goal.
Zhong Liwu understood in his heart that if he continued competing with Di Tian, not to mention whether he could win, just the rapid rate of Di Tian's bids would soon drive the price far beyond what he had anticipated.
After a moment of weighing his options, Zhong Liwu reluctantly chose to abandon the competition.
He sighed lightly, feeling unwilling, but understanding that stopping now was the wisest choice.
With Zhong Liwu giving up the competition, the entire Star Auction House fell into a brief silence.
All eyes were now on the auction stage, where Lei Yao stood, his gaze sharp as he slowly scanned the room.
After a moment, seeing no one else making a bid, he cleared his throat and loudly declared, "300 million gold soul coins once!"
His voice echoed through the hall, each word like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of everyone present.
"300 million gold soul coins twice!"
At this point, the entire hall fell silent, everyone holding their breath, waiting for the final result.
"300 million gold soul coins three times!"
Lei Yao slammed the gavel down and said loudly, "Sold! Congratulations to this honored guest for winning the Dark Night Elf Dragon Pet Egg."
Upon hearing the result, Di Tian's expression didn't change in the slightest. His cold face was like an iceberg.
However, upon closer inspection, one could see a trace of subtle anticipation hidden in his eyes.
For Di Tian, the power of this dragon race certainly attracted him.
But more importantly, this dragon belonged to a race completely different from the soul beasts, which ignited his intense curiosity.
He couldn't wait to see how powerful this unique dragon race was.
What kind of incredible abilities would it possess?
Soon, the transaction was completed, and Di Tian successfully obtained the mysterious pet egg.
At this moment, Gu Yue Na's curious gaze was drawn to the pet egg in front of her.
She gently raised her hand, and seven-colored energy flowed from her palm like a gentle stream, slowly spreading around, continuously pouring into the pet egg.
Instantly, the green and black markings on the surface of the pet egg began to glow, as though it had been endowed with life.
"Boom!"
Then, a powerful devouring force surged out from the pet egg, like a voracious beast opening its massive mouth and wildly devouring Gu Yue Na's energy.
Gu Yue Na was momentarily stunned, her eyes flashing with surprise.
She knew the divine power within her was truly formidable. This power was beyond imagination, and even a hundred-thousand-year soul beast would struggle to endure it.
She didn't hesitate for a second and quickly cut off the flow of energy.
After all, this pet egg hadn't hatched yet, and if it suddenly devoured too much energy, no one could predict how severe the consequences might be.
After the brief panic, Gu Yue Na quickly regained her composure.
She focused her mind, and her divine sense extended like fine threads, continuously sensing the pet egg.
After a thorough examination, she found that the pet egg's aura had indeed become stronger, but there were no other abnormal changes inside.
This allowed Gu Yue Na's tense nerves to finally relax, secretly relieved that her unexpected action hadn't harmed the pet egg.
However, this incident also deepened Gu Yue Na's curiosity about the pet egg.
The fact that it could safely absorb her divine power was enough to prove that the dragon bloodline within the pet egg was incredibly powerful, and its future potential was immeasurable.
"Di Tian, Bi Ji, when we return to the Star Dou Forest, you'll need to carefully input your power into this pet egg to accelerate its hatching."
Gu Yue Na waved her right hand lightly, and a space rift quietly appeared.
She carefully stored the pet egg in the rift and then turned to Di Tian and Bi Ji with instructions.
After observing, she discovered that the dragon egg contained both dark and life attributes and had a special ability to devour others' energy to enhance itself.
She reasoned that with enough life force and dark energy input, they should be able to speed up the hatching process of the pet egg.
"Yes, Master."
Di Tian and Bi Ji responded in unison, their voices strong and resolute.
They didn't hesitate to accept their master's orders.
In their hearts, they too were filled with anticipation for the eventual hatching of this mysterious dragon race, eager to witness the birth of this powerful creature.
As the second auction item was settled, the atmosphere in the entire Star Auction House became lively again.
