Chapter 283: Though It Is a Broken Body, Divinity Still Remains!

The crystal case was slowly opened, and dazzling light burst forth.

Buzz—!

The aura of solemn killing is colder than before!

The air feels as if it were mixed with countless shards of glass, stabbing the skin with a burning pain.

Everyone's gaze was forcibly drawn toward it.

It was a broken sword tip.

It was no longer than a foot, entirely pale as bone.

Upon close inspection, fine cloud patterns still swirled across its surface.

It was clearly only a fragment.

Yet it made every living being present shudder in their souls.

A definite hard currency!

"Everyone, I won't waste more words, because I am unworthy!"

Zuo Jin's voice grew increasingly devout.

"Though it is a broken body, Divinity still remains!"

"The holder can borrow its Divinity to temper themselves, even..."

He paused, and his tone suddenly rose.

"There is a chance to glimpse the realm of Myth!"

Boom—!

That final sentence was too tempting.

The whole venue was itching to move.

Yu Zao Qian, Da Tian Gou, Shuten Douji…

Not a single one failed to cast greedy eyes upon that fragment!

In the corner.

Shen Dai Qianhe and the others could no longer sit, standing up in a rush, horror in their eyes.

"Holy relic… that is our holy relic!"

Liu Sheng Jian Ying trembled all over, eyes reddened.

"The Kusanagi Sword… actually exists!"

"We must retrieve it! Even if we die! At any cost!"

It is not merely a sword.

It is the last buoy of their nation that is about to sink!

It is dignity, and even more, faith!

"Starting bid—"

Onstage, Zuo Jin took a deep breath.

"Eight hundred thousand points!"

"Each raise must not be less than fifty thousand!"

The dead silence lasted only a second.

The next moment, the sound of bidding surged like a mountain and sea tsunami.

"Eight hundred fifty thousand!"

"Nine hundred thousand!"

"Nine hundred fifty thousand!!"

Yu Zao Qian lazily raised a hand.

"One million."

Shen Dai Qianhe bit their silver teeth, their voice trembling.

"One million fifty thousand!"

"One million one hundred thousand."

Da Tian Gou followed coldly, not even lifting an eyelid.

"One million one hundred fifty thousand!!"

Shen Dai Qianhe almost shouted it.

Behind them, a dozen top-tier strongmen from Sakura Country also rushed onto the stage, frantically stuffing things into the Pure Sight Mirror.

"Quick! Quickly check points!"

"This is our holy relic! It must never fall into the hands of the demon race!"

"Even if we lose everything, we must take it back!"

"Do I need to be told? I've sold everything I could except my underwear!"

In the live stream, the Sakura Country Audience watched this scene, collectively breaking down, with the barrage of comments scrolling eerily.

"Lord Qianhe! Please!"

"This is our last hope!"

"If even the Kusanagi Sword is lost, what dignity do we have to live with?!"

"So... what exactly is the Kusanagi Sword?"

However, reality is often colder than hell.

The High-end Game's crushing never cares how hard you try.

I'm only looking at whether your Chip is thick enough.

For the part where you have room to maneuver, we still have to see the Great Demon!

"1,200,000."

Yu Zao Qian chuckles lightly, lifts the tea cup and takes a sip.

"1,250,000!"

Shen Dai Qianhe's voice is hoarse, yet she still chose to instantly follow.

She represents the will of Sakura Country, how could she speak of retreat.

"1,300,000."

Da Tian Gou spreads his black wings, his tone indifferent.

The numbers keep jumping wildly.

And at this moment.

Center spot.

Su Ming does not rush to bid.

He simply watches the sword tip quietly, golden light swirling in his eyes for a long time.

Eye of Truth analysis complete!

Name: Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword·Divine Remnant

Quality: Quasi-Myth

Function 1: Dimensional Rift! Ignores physical defense; each swing has a chance to tear space, dealing Real Damage.

Function 2: Divinity Tempering! When carried long-term, it slowly enhances the holder's physical strength and Divinity resistance.

Function 3: Homogeneous Devour! Extreme hunger! Desires to devour a kindred demon blade, or be devoured by a higher‑grade demon blade to complete itself!

Function 4: Divine Origin Waypoint! A live map to the ruins of the Divine Realm; the holder can use it to locate the entrance to the former site of Takamagahara.

Function 5: Ancient Whisper! Contains the lingering will of the ancient ruler; long‑term possession will cause mental corruption!

Su Ming squints slightly.

"This thing may also be a double‑edged sword, but it's definitely a good one!"

Buzz!!!

Suddenly, inside the Dimensional Reduction Warehouse, a ferocious will surges.

"Hm?!"

Su Ming is startled.

Ghost Cutter!

The symbiotic demon weapon that just came into his hands is now trembling wildly!

This blade... wants to eat that sword tip?!

"What the heck? You, a tiny Epic‑level, want to swallow Quasi‑Myth fragments?"

"Aren't you afraid you'll shatter your teeth?"

On the stage, the bidding has become white‑hot.

"1,800,000!"

Yu Zao Qian's voice remains light and carefree.

After all, she's an old fox who has lived from the Heian era to now; her wealth is unfathomably deep.

In contrast, the people of Sakura Country look as pale as paper.

It's the limit.

Really, it's at the limit.

"Hurry! What else can be offered?! Bring it all out!"

Liu Sheng Jian Ying's eyes are blood‑red, like a gambler whose eyes have bled, clutching a companion's collar and roaring.

"It's gone... really gone..."

Beside and behind him, a dozen top‑tier strongmen of Sakura Country also wear grim faces.

Take?

What else can be taken?!

Moreover...

They don't believe no one is hoarding.

Even if they get this thing, how much benefit can they actually obtain?

Generating power for love, purely as devotion?

Are there really such people?

"2,000,000!"

Suddenly, Shen Dai Qianhe's figure wavers as if about to collapse, spitting out this heavy number.

So that's really all...

This is the last drop of blood and sweat gathered from the whole nation.

And also...

She also has to use that thing that never came out to exchange for points to make it enough!

The whole venue falls into dead silence.

Even Da Tian Gou glances sideways slightly, feeling a hint of surprise at these insects' tenacity.

However, the next second.

Two million one hundred thousand.

Yu Zao Qian let out a light laugh, the tone even more teasing.

How pitiful, are you going to take the pants too?

What a shame, still not enough.

Too broke!

Directly raise the price by one hundred thousand!

Shen Dai Qianhe's legs went weak, and they sat directly on the chair.

Gave up.

It's totally over.

In the live stream, the Sakura Country audience wailed in sorrow.

It's over… everything's over… these people are really terrible!

If that man hadn't stepped in, perhaps…

Despair, suffocating.

Shuten Douji seemed to think it wasn't lively enough, and roared low again.

Two million two hundred thousand!

Even though he had just been slashed by Su Ming.

But an emaciated camel is larger than a horse.

A little contest, no big deal!

Two million three hundred thousand!

Da Tian Gou followed closely.

The petty skirmish is over; now the heated stage begins!

The price keeps soaring.

Each price increase drives a hard stab into the hearts and throats of the Sakura Country crowd led by Shen Dai Qianhe!

And Su Ming…

He still kept his eyes closed, his fingers tapping intermittently.

Thump, thump, thump.

The rhythm was steady, even a hint of boredom.

Two million four hundred thousand!

Two million four hundred fifty thousand!

Two million five hundred thousand!

……

It's already two million six hundred thousand! Any more price hikes?!

Zuo Jin's voice cracked with excitement, the eyes behind the mask shining terrifyingly.

Made a fortune!

Tonight we made a fortune for sure!

He truly didn't expect the price of this thing could skyrocket to this level!

The whole venue fell silent.

Yu Zao Qian slowly stood up, nine illusory tails fluttering flamboyantly behind her.

At this price already…

Who will still compete with her.

That would be relentless forever!

Is there no one left?

Two million six hundred thousand, once!

Two million six hundred thousand, twice!

Thump.

Su Ming's thumping stopped!
