Chapter 655: Holy Weapons Up for Auction, the Empire Joins the Fray!

A holy weapon, once unleashed, means death or grievous harm.

Such overwhelmingly powerful equipment is like the existence of nuclear bombs in a past life.

Generally, it does not strike; when it does, it is anything but ordinary.

In the Feifeng Dynasty, upon hearing the beautiful woman below begin to speak of the next item up for auction, the Feifeng monarch seated above the palace instantly lost his composure!

"What! How could there be so many Holy Domain-grade weapons!"

"Those are holy weapons! In a thousand years, one might not even manage to forge a single one!"

"Just how many legendary-level forces has Lord Chenxi's domain invaded!"

And when he caught the look in his daughter Deidanna's eyes, he hurriedly said to the servant behind him:

"Notify the Finance Bureau—since such a fine opportunity has presented itself, in this round of auctions, my Feifeng Dynasty must secure a holy weapon!"

On the other side, the Aima Empire.

Seeing that the auction items truly were holy weapons, Imperial Prince Esmitean patted his head, let out a helpless sigh, and then walked toward the door.

The same scene was unfolding across the continent, in the few empires, kingdoms, dynasties, alliances, and the like.

And what had startled them all was one and the same thing—the Lingpaimai Society auction!

Auctioning holy weapons!

Fortunately, all of this was being carried out in secret; as royalty, they were the sharpest among the sharp.

Such matters, naturally, were better known by as few people as possible.

This was also why, in the vast palace of the Feifeng Dynasty, there were only the three of them—the father, the daughter, and the servant.

Five minutes slipped quietly past.

All the lords now braced themselves, though they could not take part in the bidding.

But to witness with their own eyes such weapons, which existed only in legend, being purchased was itself a kind of glory.

And the lords who had previously bought the legendary-grade upgrade scrolls and legendary equipment had now returned to the auction channel, silently watching everything about to unfold.

The first item unlocked for auction was the Dark Staff, which had hung on the display rack for a long time.

The moment bidding began, the price leapt straight from its original fifty-million listing to two hundred million!

Seeing this, the crowd of onlooking lords could not help but draw a sharp breath.

After all this time, it was the first time they had seen such a terrifying jump.

They really did treat energy as if it were not energy at all.

And the next second, seeing the price change again, they were utterly dumbfounded.

"Five hundred million!"

"A direct jump of three hundred million! Too terrifying—is this the passionate nature of the demon race?"

"Coming right out and declaring everything they have from the start—how wildly extravagant!"

Although the price had reached five hundred million, it was still climbing.

Only this time, there was no jaw-dropping increase like the previous two.

It only rose by one hundred million—six hundred million.

And on the fourth bid, the price jump grew heavier again.

Someone directly added two hundred million—eight hundred million!

Seeing this outrageous price, Li Yue realized he had perhaps underestimated these Holy Domain-grade pieces of equipment before.

But on second thought, it made sense—he had so many master forgers, yet not a single legendary-grade piece of equipment had been produced to this day.

Let alone Holy Domain-grade equipment.

Coming back to the present, Li Yue noticed that it seemed no epic-grade equipment had been forged either.

It appeared they had not even finished forging the blue Striker Dragon Blood Armor and Dragon Blood Lance.

A thought immediately arose in his mind to expand the forging team.

At Lord Chenxi's domain's current pace of development, if logistics were not improved, they would no longer be able to keep up with the pace of growth.

And in the few seconds his attention had wandered, the Dark Staff's price stopped dead at the ten-billion mark.

Yet, just as everyone assumed the price would keep climbing, the Dark Staff's price permanently stalled at the ten-billion mark.

The Feifeng Dynasty!

Deidanna looked helplessly at her father, who sat composed above.

The Feifeng monarch understood her thoughts in an instant and slowly began:

"No need to blame yourself—a single dark holy weapon, even if we exerted great effort to win it at auction, we could not use it."

"On the contrary, it would invite the wariness of other forces. It is not a bad thing we failed to win it!"

On the other side, within the palace of the Aima Empire.
