In the second private room.
Ling Fan saw a ball of light, like a blazing sun, suspended there.
It emanated a terrifying aura without end.
It actually caused Ling Fan's Heavenly Demon Eyes to feel a searing, blinding sensation.
This was also an incredibly formidable Heavenly Emperor!
And stronger than the young city lord of Wangtian City.
Ling Fan couldn't even discern the true face of this person.
Ling Fan took a slight breath.
He continued to look towards the third private room.
The expert in this private room was no weaker than the one in the second, also fluctuating like a blazing sun, almost distorting Ling Fan's Heavenly Demon Eyes' field of vision.
Within this sun-like ball of light sat a figure as sturdy as an iron tower.
This person's divine sense was extremely sharp, as if sensing Ling Fan's gaze, he abruptly looked towards Ling Fan's direction.
Ling Fan's gaze suddenly sharpened.
He quickly withdrew his gaze.
But it was still a step too late.
A domineering and boundless force surged towards him.
Ling Fan's expression immediately turned extremely solemn.
His blood and qi erupted, a Four-Square Dragon Seal condensed, and simultaneously, a powerful force transmitted from the Samsara Divine Cauldron, and he fiercely unleashed a punch.
Bang!
Ling Fan's figure involuntarily retreated two steps, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
That domineering force was dispersed by his punch.
A contemptuous cold laugh came from that private room.
Ling Fan took a deep breath.
He glared fiercely at this third private room.
He continued to look at the fourth private room.
He suddenly paused slightly.
Because unlike the two previous domineering Heavenly Emperors.
There was no trace of fiery aura in this private room.
There was only a graceful figure, sitting quietly.
And although this woman did not possess any astonishing power phenomena,
Ling Fan could not see her face clearly. It was as if he could see it, but also not. No matter how Ling Fan focused his vision, he could not remember her appearance.
"This should be the peerless Heavenly Maiden Yan Xi of the Tianyi Sect... Indeed, she is also a Heavenly Emperor, and her cultivation is unfathomable."
Ling Fan suddenly felt some pressure.
If such a stunningly talented woman were to truly marry Gao Gan, he would face double the pressure!
...
As Ling Fan was contemplating.
The atmosphere of the auction was also becoming increasingly fervent.
"Next item, the Demon's Eye!"
Boom!
When Xu Yu spoke the words "Demon's Eye."
The entire auction hall instantly erupted in a clamor.
"The Demon's Eye, this is one of the most renowned weapons in the Demonic Realm. Legend has it that as long as it targets you, even a Heavenly Venerable will be enslaved!"
"How could such a legendary supreme demonic forbidden artifact appear at an auction like this?"
Xu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Esteemed guests, please remain calm. This is naturally not the true Demon's Eye. This is merely a replica, but it possesses unfathomable power, and is rarely matched among high-grade Emperor Weapons."
"A high-grade Emperor Weapon level Demon's Eye!"
"Quickly tell us the starting bid, I want this treasure!"
Many powerful individuals, especially those at the Half-Step Heavenly Emperor realm, were eager.
They were determined to obtain this Demon's Eye.
Xu Yu uttered a number: "Demon's Eye, starting bid is five million Heavenly Spirit Pills."
When he stated this number.
Many powerful individuals fell silent.
Five million Heavenly Spirit Pills could buy two or three ordinary high-grade Emperor Weapons.
It was merely the starting bid for this Demon's Eye!
"Five and a half million!" a Half-Step Heavenly Emperor in the hall gritted out.
"Six million!" someone immediately followed.
"I bid seven million!"
A Half-Step Heavenly Emperor slammed the table and stood up, veins bulging on his forehead.
This price caused many to back down.
After all, seven million was already an astonishing sum. For a Half-Step Heavenly Emperor, few could afford it with their financial resources.
"Heh heh, giving such a good item to you Half-Step Heavenly Emperors would be a waste of talent. I bid nine million!"
The young city lord of Wangtian City from the first private room spoke mockingly.
Immediately, the Half-Step Heavenly Emperor who bid seven million deflated like a leaky ball and slumped back into his seat.
After a while.
No one dared to continue bidding.
Xu Yu glanced around and said,
"Nine million for the first time, nine million for the second time, nine million for the third..."
Just then.
A faint voice came from Ling Fan's private room.
"Ten million!"
Boom!
The auction hall immediately buzzed.
Many powerful individuals abruptly looked towards Ling Fan's private room.
They couldn't help but become immensely curious about Ling Fan's identity.
"Eleven million."
The young city lord of Wangtian City's voice came from his private room, filled with displeasure.
He had expected to acquire the Demon's Eye for nine million Heavenly Spirit Pills, but unexpectedly, someone had appeared halfway, costing him an extra two million Heavenly Spirit Pills. How could he be in a good mood?
"Eleven and a half million."
Ling Fan continued to bid.
"Hmph!"
"Twelve million. If you're not afraid of death, keep following." The young city lord of Wangtian City's voice grew colder.
However, Ling Fan ignored his warning.
With a single utterance.
He shocked everyone.
"Twenty million!"
When Ling Fan shouted this price.
The entire venue fell silent.
Everyone's faces were filled with astonishment.
Who was this person, to be so wealthy and to increase the bid to twenty million directly!
It was a fourfold increase from the starting bid!
Even the young city lord of Wangtian City fell silent.
Although he still had the capacity to continue bidding.
But in reality, he didn't particularly want the Demon's Eye. The item he wanted to auction was something else.
He needed to save his Heavenly Spirit Pills for that later bid.
He snorted heavily.
And did not continue to bid.
"Since no one is willing to offer a higher price, then this replica of the Demon's Eye... sold!" Xu Yu exhaled a long breath, his voice filled with disbelief.
"Send it up," a calm voice came from Ling Fan's private room.
This drew the sideways glances of many.
Even the peerless Heavenly Maiden Yan Xi from the fourth private room couldn't help but glance over.
Soon.
Xu Yu personally brought the Demon's Eye into Ling Fan's private room.
Ling Fan said nothing, waved his hand, and a vast river of Heavenly Spirit Pills flowed out.
"Here are twenty million Heavenly Spirit Pills, please count them."
Ling Fan said casually.
As if spending a colossal sum of twenty million Heavenly Spirit Pills was as easy as blinking an eye.
Xu Yu was once again shocked by Ling Fan's immense wealth.
He hastily said, "Enough, enough! This is the Demon's Eye, Master Gao, please inspect it."
Ling Fan took the box containing the Demon's Eye, waved his hand, and Xu Yu quickly and tactfully withdrew.
Upon opening the box.
An endless evil aura immediately gushed out.
Countless demonic illusions materialized, baring their fangs and claws at Ling Fan.
Among them, a ferocious demonic eye, as if existing from ancient times and never perishing, suddenly opened and fixed upon Ling Fan. Instantly, a terrifying aura that made even Heavenly Emperor experts' scalps tingle emanated, as if it intended to drag Ling Fan's soul into an endless purgatory.
Ling Fan sneered, "If it were an ordinary seventh-rank Heavenly Emperor, they might truly be unable to deal with you. Unfortunately, I am no ordinary person."
The mark of his Heavenly Demon Eyes suddenly appeared in his eyes!
Instantly, supreme Heavenly Demon aura permeated.
Ling Fan instantly transformed into a peerless demon god, the mark of his Heavenly Demon Eyes suddenly transforming into two vortices, unleashing unimaginable devouring power. The Demon's Eye, locked onto by the Heavenly Demon Eyes, immediately panicked!
The Heavenly Demon Eyes are the supreme secret art of the Heavenly Demon Royal Clan.
They are inherently able to restrain all demonic entities.
Even this Demon's Eye was no exception.
"Release me, I am willing to be your servant! I do not wish to be destroyed!"
A pleading voice suddenly came from within the Demon's Eye.
But Ling Fan remained unmoved.
The vortices formed by the mark of his Heavenly Demon Eyes once again unleashed even more potent devouring power.
With a scream.
The Demon's Eye was instantly pulled into the Heavenly Demon Eyes' vortices.
Ling Fan immediately closed his eyes.
...
In the other five private rooms.
The five experts at the Heavenly Emperor realm sensed the aura released by the Demon's Eye.
The young city lord of Wangtian City, and the two Heavenly Emperors who were like blazing suns, all sneered inwardly.
"Hmph, this fellow is merely a mere Half-Step Heavenly Emperor, yet he dares to forcibly refine the Demon's Eye. Truly seeking death!"
"Heh heh, it's good that he died. Daring to fight me for treasure! This is also good, saving me so many Heavenly Spirit Pills. Once this fellow dies, I will go and subdue the Demon's Eye!"
Powerful intentions were sent out.
However, soon.
The terrifying aura of the Demon's Eye from Ling Fan's private room suddenly vanished without a trace.
It was as if the Demon's Eye had never been released at all!
In the private room.
Ling Fan suddenly opened his eyes.
The mark of his Heavenly Demon Eyes reappeared.
But it was significantly different from before.
A more dangerous aura emanated.
"This..."
"Impossible, although this Demon's Eye is not a top-tier high-grade Emperor Weapon, it is still a fine product among high-grade Emperor Weapons. Even ordinary seventh-rank Heavenly Emperors cannot deal with it. What exactly did this brat do to the Demon's Eye!"
"Quickly investigate, you must ascertain this person's identity."
