Chapter 680: An Auction During a Heavenly Judgment (1/2)

Silverlight looked up at the patch of sky above the tribulation clouds, concern flashing through her faintly silver eyes.

……

Boom!

A beam of light thirty meters wide exploded out of the ocean at Lu Yun. It was a blast from a crystal cannon! Finally, such weapons were being put to use.

Shot after shot fired, targeting Lu Yun with great power. Silverlight opened her mouth, but shut it again without saying anything. The crystal cannons were his own doing. Being attacked by his own creations… well, he was simply reaping what he’d sown.

Lu Yun turned around to face the incoming light beams. Completely unruffled, he waved a hand and took a few deliberate steps. Formation runes blossomed around him and distorted the air, forming an enormous invisible formation just before the beams of light found their target.

Hum.

The crowd’s jaw dropped when the attacks were easily dissolved with a slight buzz.

Crystal cannons and weapons of war had always been unrivaled and unstoppable in the world. Only an absolutely superior defense or even greater offense could offset their force. Over the past eighty thousand years since those baleful weapons had been invented, no one had ever managed to block them with a formation!

The previous barrage had originated from not only crystal cannons, but also original weapons of war!

“When the ninth prince of Primus Major shot at Dao City in Dusk Province with a crystal cannon, the attack was similarly rebuffed...” someone murmured. “Was it this kind of formation’s doing as well?”

“The perfect tool necessary in every household kit for overcoming tribulations—a lightning rod,” Lu Yun spoke up nonchalantly. “Pre-orders start now! Those interested may put in your orders at the merchant alliance in Dao City.

“Another item hitting shelves today is the Closesky Formation, a formation that can effectively block crystal cannons and weapons of war. Priced at ten trillion crystals each, formation disks can also be found in the merchant alliance of Dao City!”

He didn’t seem affected by the tribulation at all, and looked to be having an unreasonably easy time of things. Members of various factions outside the tribulation clouds were caught off guard. Although many were after Lu Yun, he also had a good number of allies!

The merchant alliance, Lin Clan, East Sea Court, South Sea Court, Unsullied Sea, and Beicang Clan had arrived and flung themselves into the epic struggle without hesitation. They stopped their motions when they heard Lu Yun’s words. Was he overcoming a tribulation or holding an auction?!

How ambitious—or perhaps boneheaded—must he be to pitch his products at this moment?!

A battle to the death had broken out beyond the perimeter of the heavenly judgment. Some wanted Lu Yun dead, others risked their lives to protect him. But the target of everyone’s attention wanted to take advantage of the spotlight to market his treasures and formations?!

“What is this kid thinking?!” Some of the immortals stopped what they were doing as the absurdity of the situation drained them of the will to keep fighting.

“Also… does anyone want the projection of the Dao Flower?” Lu Yun flew up to the projection and poked it experimentally. “If anyone’s interested… the starting price is a hundred trillion crystals. The flower will go to the highest bidder!”

The immortals… the immortals couldn’t even begin to form a coherent thought.

“Ugh, he’s really asking for it!” A Lin immortal glared in disbelief at Lu Yun, his clothes drenched in blood. He wanted nothing more than to rush into the tribulation clouds and beat the brat to within an inch of his life. His clan had already lost three dao immortals to protect this little bastard!
