Chapter 653: Auctioning the Seventh-Rank Time Boundary Fruit
Chapter 653: Auctioning the Seventh-Rank Time Boundary Fruit
"The next item up for auction is one of the five grand finale items of this auction—a Black Ultimate Quality Celestial Devouring Wolf Soldier Tree. Please take a look..."
As he spoke, the captain of the Holy Heaven Corporation's Annihilation Starship on the auction stage projected a panel of attribute light.
Celestial Devouring Wolf Soldier Tree lv0
Quality: Black
Attribute: Star Devouring Body
Attribute 2: Star Gold Wolf Claws
Attribute 3: Summons Double the Number of Soldier Puppets
...
A black-quality soldier puppet component sparked a new wave of bidding in the auction hall.
"1,500 strands of Eighth Rank Floatland Essence!"
"A black-quality energy shield of the same quality, plus 100 strands of Eighth Rank Floatland Essence."
Song Chi was no longer among the bidders.
There were already two puppet components on the Heaven Ruin Skydome, including a golden Flame Sprite Soldier Tree, which didn't need to be replaced for the time being. The Void Shadow Killer Soldier Tree was a rare space-type puppet, and although it was only silver, it was more valuable to him than even a golden or black puppet component.
What was annoying at this moment were the multiple strands of divine consciousness surrounding the private room.
Song Chi knew that most of these strands came from sixth-rank, seventh-rank, and even eighth-rank Flame Ship Captains.
Whether for themselves or for their juniors, they all wanted to test if the Abyssal Devil had more Time Boundary Fruits.
Soon, the second grand finale item was brought up.
It was also a Black Ultimate Quality component, but instead of a soldier puppet tree, it was a black-quality Annihilation Cannon, which immediately triggered collective bidding from multiple Annihilation Starship Captains in the hall.
In the Multiverse Bazaar, Song Chi stood high above, his expressionless face showing no urgency as he calmly waited.
"Sold! Congratulations to the friend in Box 8 for successfully bidding for this Black Ultimate Quality Skyscan Radar!"
On the Holy Heaven Auction Hall stage, the Annihilation Starship Captain shouted, and the second-to-last grand finale item, a Black Ultimate Quality Skyscan Radar, was successfully auctioned off.
"Then, next..."
Just as countless Flame Ship Captains in the hall held their breath in anticipation, eagerly waiting for the grand finale item, a legendary colored artifact comparable to the Holy Heaven Corporation's announcement, a voice interrupted the moment.
"Lord Helmut, may I have a moment..."
The voice came from the Sixth-Rank Abyssal Devil, and the 'Lord Helmut' he referred to was the Annihilation Starship Captain on the auction stage below, whose full name was Helmut McCoy.
On the auction stage, Helmut paused for a moment, and then his tone suddenly changed.
"Of course!"
It was clear from his tone that he was welcoming, and he seemed to understand the thoughts of the Flame Ship Captains in the auction hall.
Creak! The cabin door opened, and under the gaze of many eyes, the Abyssal Devil stepped out.
Chaos rules circulated around him, enveloping his body as he slowly descended to the auction stage below.
Helmut McCoy's smile remained, and he slightly leaned to the side, voluntarily yielding the auction stage.
"Thank you, Lord Helmut!"
After expressing his gratitude again, the Abyssal Devil's crimson gaze suddenly lifted, looking towards the tens of thousands of Flame Ship Captains in front.
"I won't waste everyone's time. Please take a look!"
Without any preamble, at Song Chi's signal, the Abyssal Devil got straight to the point.
All eyes in the hall focused on the large white jade fruit in his hand, and the auction hall fell silent.
Everyone in the auction hall was familiar with this white jade fruit, as two had appeared before, leaving a deep impression on everyone.
However, it was clear that this new white jade fruit was significantly larger than the previous two.
Soon, someone with a keen eye exclaimed in surprise.
"This... is a Seventh-Rank Time Boundary Fruit!"
"What? A Seventh-Rank Time Boundary Fruit? Can you confirm?"
"A Seventh-Rank Time Boundary Fruit! That's a spiritual object that can grant an Annihilation Starship a second chance when challenging a Star River Ship. How could someone put such a thing up for auction?"
"Or is it that the person behind this Abyssal Devil is a Star River Ship Captain?"
...
Ignoring the exclamations, the Abyssal Devil quickly nodded.
"That's right, this is indeed a Seventh-Rank Time Boundary Fruit. As for the auction rules, they are the same as before. Everyone is free to bid, and I will choose the most satisfying offer for the trade."
After he finished speaking, the hall did not immediately echo with bids but remained quiet for a short while.
Until everyone confirmed that the Abyss Devil was indeed going to bid for the precious seventh-rank Time Boundary Fruit, and after receiving the nod from Helmut McCoy, who was also on the auction stage, confirming the authenticity of the seventh-rank Time Fruit, the various Annihilation Starship Captains finally began to bid.
"I can offer the golden Ascension Flame Source I just acquired..."
"A black ship hull armor!"
"Black ship hull armor + 50 strands of eighth-rank Floating Continent Essence..."
As these bids were announced, Song Chi in the Multiverse Bazaar continuously shook his head. Although these offers were valuable, they were not what he desired.
After several dozen seconds, most of the Annihilation Starship Captains had made their bids, and finally, someone from the top five boxes spoke up.
"One eighth-rank Golden Apple, plus a black engine component."
It was a Star River Ship Captain who had projected his image.
"It's His Majesty the Exterminator, a veteran Star River Ship Captain. I didn't expect him to be interested in this seventh-rank Time Fruit as well."
"It's likely that the Exterminator Xu Clan has an Annihilation Starship Captain who's nearing the end of their lifespan and wants to use this seventh-rank Time Fruit to aid their attempt to advance to Star River Ship."
"However, the Abyss Devil doesn't seem to be moved by this offer."
"Although the seventh-rank Time Fruit is extremely rare, this bid clearly has a certain premium. The reason is most likely not its value, but that these two items are not what the other party needs!"
...
Many of the captains in the auction hall had already guessed the intentions of the Abyss Devil, or rather, Song Chi.
A voice came from one of the five highest boxes.
"Why not state your requirements directly? That way, we can make more targeted offers!"
Song Chi pondered for a moment, then signaled the Abyss Devil to do as suggested.
"A high-rank Golden Apple, and top-tier resources that can enhance the comprehension of spatial laws!"
With this clear information, the Annihilation Starship Captains and Star River Ship Captains began to make their second round of bids.
"Two eighth-rank Golden Apples, one strand of golden Ascension Flame Source..."
"Black Ultimate Quality spatial component..."
...
This round of bids clearly piqued Song Chi's interest.
However, none of them were entirely satisfactory to him. They either had only the Golden Apple or only the top-tier spatial resources or components, but not both.
"Well..."
Just as Song Chi was about to reluctantly choose from these bids, another Star River Ship Captain's projection offered a new bid.
"One ninth-rank Golden Apple and a Skyfall Dao Crystal!"
Following the brainwave imprint left in the Abyss Devil's body, Song Chi in the Multiverse Bazaar heard this bid and his eyes lit up.
This bid was undoubtedly the most satisfying among all the offers.
The ninth-rank Golden Apple needed no further explanation, and the Skyfall Dao Crystal was also extraordinary. It was a higher-tier spatial resource than the Spatial God Crystal, and it had a strong effect on the comprehension of spatial laws at the completion stage.
Please... Collect _6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\Nine\\Book\\Bar!)
As early as two hundred years ago, the Spatial God Crystal had become ineffective for him, and this Skyfall Dao Crystal came just in time. Although there was only one, it was indeed the best choice at the moment.
Song Chi waited for another two minutes, and finally, seeing that there were no more suitable bids, he didn't hesitate and chose to trade with the other party. After all, every minute he delayed, his identity would be more likely to be exposed.
Whoosh!
A ray of light shot out from the upper box, and at the same time, a powerful suction force emanated from the Abyss Devil's hand, causing the seventh-rank Time Fruit to slowly levitate.
With Helmut McCoy's action, the item was successfully delivered to the two rightful owners.
"May I ask, does the person behind you have more Time Fruits? If so..."
After the transaction was completed, the Abyss Devil heard a voice asking in his ear.
Song Chi knew that this must be from a Star River Ship Captain, as the Abyss Devil's body was surrounded by a True Spirit Shield formed by the seventh-rank Nightmare Body, and it would be impossible for an Annihilation Starship Captain's sound transmission to penetrate so easily.
The Abyss Devil didn't reply. Chaotic energy flowed around his body, and within, a special illusory divine thought imprint was emitting eternal dark light, invisible to outsiders.
Visibly, the Abyss Devil's body was rapidly becoming illusory.
Upon seeing this, some captains reacted.
A wave of powerful pressure emerged from the boxes above, targeting the auction stage below.
However, this obviously couldn't stop anything.
In the end, the Abyss Devil's body still turned into strands of starlight and completely dissipated, leaving behind only four words.
"Farewell, everyone!"
In contrast, the captains in the various boxes above the auction hall did not look pleased.
"Long-range teleportation, nice move!"
"I'd like to see just how far it can teleport."
"The timing of the selection was impeccable, it seems there was indeed prior planning..."
...
As for what happened next at the Holy Heaven Auction Hall, Song Chi had no idea. He only vaguely heard the sound of the bidding for the Black Ascension Flame Source before everything else became unclear.
Celestial Xia Dynasty, the Border Star Region.
Within a fleet racing at full speed, the Heaven Ruin Skydome, enveloped in a black and white interwoven energy shield, was speeding through the void.
Accompanied by a shadowless black light shooting out from the void, the Abyssal Devil's figure soon appeared.
It was not a mistake, the Divine Thought Chapter that recalled the Abyssal Devil was not the Mirror Warship, but the Heaven Ruin Skydome itself.
On the contrary, while Song Chi was still in the Multiverse Bazaar, his figure flashed and disappeared from the sky of the bazaar. However, he did not return to the Heaven Ruin Skydome, which was still in the Celestial Xia Dynasty's border region, but instead went back to the Dragon Backbone Continent.
In the underground of the Green Moon Estate, within the large warship summoning room, Song Chi stood there. As the ethereal energy in his body rapidly circulated, the Divine Thought Seal left by the Mirror Warship's replication of the Divine Thought Chapter was activated.
Soon, the Mirror Warship, which was still hovering in a small fragment belt outside the Heavenly Peak Continent, was also recalled.
After completing this step, Song Chi finally returned to the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
Taking a few items from the Abyssal Devil, Song Chi began to consider their usage.
The [Antimatter Annihilation Cannon] was directly installed and enhanced to lv80, a golden main cannon with attributes far surpassing the [Taiyi Quantum Sword Light Turret].
Next were two [Golden Apples].
The eighth-rank one was easy to decide on, it was directly used on the [Quadrant Wheel Seal], and he also enhanced it to lv80.
Quadrant Wheel Seal lv80
Quality: Golden
Attribute: Four Elements Azure Dragon Seal
Attribute 2: Four Elements White Tiger Seal
Attribute 3: Four Elements Vermilion Bird Seal
Attribute 4: Four Elements Black Tortoise Seal
Attribute 5: Quadrant Wheel Seal
Consumption: 2800/s (Shadow Energy Points)
No charge or buffer required
Effect: The equipped warship gains the protection of the Four Elements, and can be bound to four designated warships. When this component's ability is activated, all bound warships will receive the same effect.
Note: This component requires a 3-slot efficiency slot.
...
{Quadrant Wheel Seal: If the four bound warships are within 1 billion kilometers of each other, they can consume 200,000 Shadow Energy Points to activate the Quadrant Wheel Seal. During the seal's duration, the four warships will be deeply linked, and any damage received by a single warship will be unconditionally divided into four parts and shared by the four warships. Additionally, when activating the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise seals, the effect will be doubled, lasting for 180 minutes with a 240-hour cooldown.}
After reading the evolved golden divine realm quality Quadrant Wheel Seal, Song Chi inwardly sighed, "As expected, the golden quality Quadrant Wheel Seal is indeed a top-tier component."
The damage transfer alone, where all damage is shared by the four warships, is enough to classify it as the best of the best.
The second attribute, where the effects of the other four seals are doubled, is also quite exaggerated. With just the [Four Elements Azure Dragon Seal], the hull, hull armor, and energy shield of the four warships can be instantly restored to full.
Because he had some prior expectations, Song Chi was not too surprised. His attention soon turned to the other ninth-rank [Golden Apple].
This [Golden Apple] could evolve a golden component into a black quality one, which made the decision of which component to use it on a difficult one.
Currently, there were quite a few golden components on the Heaven Ruin Skydome, and deciding which one to use it on was indeed a dilemma.
[Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield], [Heaven's Eye], [Antimatter Annihilation Cannon], [Blood Spear], [Purple Heaven Thunder Cannon], and so on.
After some deliberation, Song Chi initially selected a few components.
[Lotus Meditation Seal], [Blood Battle Stele], [Mirror Clone], [Chicao's 004 Breeding Realm], [Angelic Sovereign's Wing].
These five components were the most crucial ones on the Heaven Ruin Skydome, often requiring usage. If they could be further enhanced, they would undoubtedly play a greater role.

PS2: The second chapter will still be very late.
