Chapter 1236: Auction of the Dark Thunder Dragon's Corpse
Chapter 1236: Auction of the Dark Thunder Dragon's Corpse
December 6, 2023
Finally, after about two hours of the auction, the first nine items were all sold, leading to the main event—the auction of the Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse!
The public chat area was a cacophony of excitement:
"Finally! The auction for the Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse is about to start!"
"The third to ninth items were so boring. The first two were so impressive, but then it was a letdown."
"Yeah, I thought other star-level beings would join in."
"Chairman Lemore hasn't shown up yet? That's surprising."
"But whatever, the auction for the Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse is finally here!"
"I can't wait!"
"I've been waiting for a week!"
...
Everyone in the public chat area was on edge, finally about to witness the legendary planetary-grade dragon's corpse!
In the live stream, Leit Dorz was beaming with enthusiasm.
He was very satisfied with the prices the previous seven items fetched. With so many people watching, the more viewers, the higher the prices tended to go.
He had done some quick calculations and was genuinely making a fortune!
And with the 5% cut from the "Omen Core," he could say he was raking in the money, earning more in this one auction than he had in the past year!
But the more he made, the more he needed to stay focused.
His success was entirely thanks to the Legion Commander.
If not for the Legion Commander's manipulation of his secondary account, he wouldn't have had this opportunity.
So, he needed to sell the Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse well and aim for a high price to meet the Legion Commander's expectations.
"Everyone in the live stream, we are now moving on to the final auction—the highly anticipated planetary-grade Tier 4 Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse! Are you ready?"
"Ready!"
"Ready!"
"Stop stalling!"
The public chat area erupted in discussion once more.
After waiting so long, the moment had finally arrived!
Someone in the public chat area asked, "Where did you put the Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse? It can't be behind the screen, right?"
"It definitely can't fit behind the screen, can it?"
During the previous auction, Leit Dorz had removed a screen after selling each item, revealing the next item behind it.
But he couldn't use the same trick this time. The Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse couldn't be hidden by a mere screen.
Leit Dorz seemed to notice the questions in the chat.
He smiled and replied, "Of course, the Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse isn't hidden behind the screen. Look here."
Leit Dorz raised his right hand to the camera.
On his thick, rocky finger, a shiny ring glinted with a thin silver light.
Those who knew their stuff immediately recognized it as a high-quality spatial ring.
"Spatial ring?"
"Leit Dorz has been wearing it all along? I didn't notice it before."
"So, the Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse is inside the ring?"
But before the discussion could continue, Leit Dorz activated the ring.
A silver light flashed, and a golden spherical crystal appeared in his hand.
"You don't need to guess too much. The Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse isn't in this spatial ring," Leit Dorz explained. "To prevent any accidents during the auction, I've hidden the corpse elsewhere. This golden crystal is the key."
Leit Dorz didn't dare to carry the Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse carelessly. He knew that many star-level beings were watching this auction.
If one of them tried to snatch it, how could he explain it to the Legion Commander?
So, he wore a high-quality spatial ring as a decoy and hid the Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse in a different location.
Inside the spatial ring was the key to the true location of the Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse.
But now, it was time to retrieve the Dark Thunder Dragon's body!
...
Rait Dorse loosened his grip, and the golden crystal fell straight to the ground.
Before the live audience could react, the golden hall he was in suddenly began to rotate!
Immediately, the floor contracted toward the sides, revealing a massive, pitch-black hole below!
The diameter of this hole was over 400 meters, and its depth was unfathomable.
Rait Dorse slowly flew downward.
After descending nearly a hundred meters, he reached the bottom of the hole.
He pressed his hand against the ground, opening a hidden compartment that contained another high-quality spatial ring.
At the same time, Rait Dorse's assistants turned on the lights embedded in the walls of the hole.
In an instant, the entire hole was bathed in white light, with most of the illumination focused on the central area, right where Rait Dorse stood.
"The Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse is inside this spatial ring," Rait Dorse said, holding the ring up to the camera. "Now, it's time for it to be revealed!"
He took a deep breath, solemnly opened the spatial ring, and retrieved the Dark Thunder Dragon's body, making the entire process feel highly ritualistic.
The audience in the live stream held their breath.
For a moment, the major cities of the Hub were eerily quiet, as if it were a fixed rest period.
Of course, the public chat area remained active:
"This solemn ceremony! One might think Rait Dorse is presenting the body of a fallen warrior."
"Following the usual plot in movies, Rait Dorse would definitely discover that the body is missing right now!"
"Uh, that's not impossible."
Even the cat Chenxing asked Su Yu nervously, "Krypton, what if Rait Dorse suddenly realizes the Dark Thunder Dragon's body is gone from the ring?"
"Even if it were, it's not our problem," Su Yu shrugged. "We already handed the Dark Thunder Dragon's body to Rait Dorse. If he loses it, that's on him."
"But it feels like that could really happen!" Chenxing stared intently at the virtual screen.
...
However, the scenario everyone had imagined did not come to pass.
Rait Dorse successfully removed the two halves of the Dark Thunder Dragon's body from the spatial ring, and the massive, pitch-black corpse appeared in the hole.
Under the countless white lights, the Dark Thunder Dragon's skin still absorbed all light, presenting a void-like, absolute black.
The dragon's body was split from head to tail, with an extremely smooth and flat cut, revealing various organs in the head and abdomen.
These organs were still very fresh, as the spatial ring had nearly stopped time, making the dragon seem as if it had just died.
Of course, what was most shocking was its enormous size.
With a wingspan of 230 meters, no one had ever seen such a colossal dragon!
Suddenly, loud exclamations of awe erupted across the Hub's major cities:
"Wow, truly breathtaking!"
"Just seeing this makes today worth it."
"Such a massive size! The dragons I've seen before don't even qualify as ‘giant’ in comparison."
"Finally, I've seen it! What a feast for the eyes!"
"What kind of power could split it in half like that?"
"The being who killed it must be terrifying!"
"So magnificent!"
