Chapter 817: Devil Domain Mainland
2 trillion!
More cultivators fainted here and there on the square.
They couldn't even begin to comprehend the magnitude of one trillion.
In the history of the four galaxies, there had yet to be any auction house able to procure an item worth 2 trillion. Forget about 2 trillion, they didn't even have an item reaching the 1 trillion mark.
A sum of 2 trillion was way beyond their imagination. Still, some Ancestors and Patriarchs could imagine the sight of 200 billion.
200 billion falling down from the sky could turn the sea into land! It could completely submerge a large city, piling up high into a mountain over a thousand zhang tall.
Inside private room one, the Azure Dragon Institute Principal Qin Yi instructed a disciple behind him, “Investigate who’s inside private room twelve.”
The disciples acknowledged respectfully and left the room.
Similar scenes were taking place in other private rooms. All the present super forces were curious about he identity of the guest in private room twelve.
Whereas in private room two, Yang Yi was worried, “I don’t think that little Huang boy can take out 2 trillion, right? That godhead fragment is going to fall into the hands of whoever is in private room twelve!”
The Ascending Moon Old Man remained silent.
It hadn't crossed his mind that this godhead fragment would be hiked to such a whopping 2 trillion! Even though he had accumulated some savings in the last several ten-thousand years, he only had 600 billion on him.
“2 trillion, private room twelve bid 2 trillion!” While everyone in the square had yet to recover from the multiple blows to their hearts, the auctioneer’s voice rang out loudly, albeit it was shaking slightly as he asked, “An~yone bi~~dding highe~r?” It sounded more like the auctioneer was bleating like a sheep rather than speaking. Thankfully, everyone present had commendable hearing, able to make out what the auctioneer was saying.
The truth is, when the White Tiger Institute Principal decided to take out the godhead fragment for auction, he estimated that it could fetch 600 billion at most. But now, the price had reached an earth-shaking 2 trillion!
This sum was more than thrice the amount he expected.
Everyone looked at Huang Xiaolong almost at the same time, wondering if he would bid a higher price.
However, Huang Xiaolong sat there indifferently, it didn't seem like he was going to speak. Seeing this, there was a collective sense of disappointment.
“Private room twelve bids 2 trillion! Anyone bidding higher?!” Every time he said 2 trillion, his voice involuntarily shook.
The auctioneer looked around the square, his gaze falling on Huang Xiaolong more often than not.
Just as he raised his wooden hammer and was about to declare the successful bidder, the indifferent Huang Xiaolong suddenly called out: “5 trillion!”
5 trillion—
This sum was like a spell cast over the people in the square. Everyone forgot to breathe, as if time stopped while their mouths were agape, staring at Huang Xiaolong. No one made a move, not even a finger. No one spoke, not even the lowest whisper, after all, these people already forgot to breathe…
Within private room number twelve, that young man Mirage King jumped to his feet. Even though the mysterious light glow still shrouded his features, causing the others in the room to be unable to see his expression, from the chilling killing intent exuding from his body they could somehow image his expression.
Jiang Wuhuang, Wang Na, and the others also had an ugly expression on their faces, jumping to their feet with obvious fear in their eyes.
The twenty-eight Highgod Realm masters inside the room daren’t make a sound.
Because, all the wealth they had on them added together, the wealth of all twenty-eight Highgod Realm masters, was only 5 trillion! This was the limit of what they managed to gather. And Huang Xiaolong’s bid was exactly 5 trillion! Not one coin more, not one coin less.
Most importantly, they couldn't afford to take out even 1 billion more. The auctioneer had mentioned this at the beginning, the increment from the last bid offered should be a minimum of one billion.
