The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

"Dragon Fruit! It's a Dragon Fruit!"

"Such a treasure is extremely rare even in previous treasure-hunting competitions, and this time they've actually brought it out directly?"

"The Heaven-Stealing Life-and-Death Pill hasn't even appeared yet, but we didn't expect such a treasure to be brought out first. Unfortunately, such a precious treasure is not something we can get our hands on."

Inside the Wanbao Palace, countless cultivators went mad, their eyes bloodshot as they stared at the dark golden fruit floating in the air.

Of course, there are also those who are very clear-headed at such times.

The treasure is valuable, but obtaining it is extremely difficult. The price involved is something even some Dao Lords of Life and Death would find hard to bear.

It should be known that the divine power "Golden Image" cultivated by Lei Zhan, when mastered, can make one's divine body comparable to that of a top-grade divine weapon. However, if one were to purchase it and want to learn the second volume, it would require a full 200,000 cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid.

But now, it's easy to obtain simply by eating this Dragon Fruit. It can also transform one's body into a natural, low-grade eternal divine weapon armor, providing complete protection from the inside out.

"That's absolutely insane."

They are stacked inside the house, overlooking the area below through the huge windows.

The world gods, chaos immortals, and even ancestral gods and immortals sitting below could all see the visible desire and fervor.

"Unfortunately, such a treasure is of great use even to Dao Lords of Life and Death, so how could it be easily obtained by those at the World Realm?"

Making one's divine body comparable to a top-grade Dao weapon is something that only Dao Lords of Life and Death would typically use.

To have a divine body comparable to a top-grade divine weapon is already an extremely powerful level.

And among these, the supernatural powers that can make a divine body comparable to an eternal divine weapon are extremely top-tier. Even some Dao Lords of Life and Death would find it extremely difficult to obtain them!

"This Dragon Fruit should be perfect for me. What a pity! It's too precious." Su Qi, the World God, said in a low voice.

"Suitable for you?" World God Yifeng glanced at World God Su Qi and shook his head. "Suitable for you, but even if it were, you would have a hard time getting your hands on it. I guess only Master could have obtained this Dragon Transformation Fruit, and Master went to great lengths to acquire it."

"Hehe, I was just thinking. How could I compare to my master?" World God Su Qi said with a smile, but his gaze remained fixed on the center of the exhibition stand.

"Alright." Lei Zhan shook his head. "Now that we've finished introducing this treasure, I guess we'll have to announce the bottom price. If you really want it, and it's really not possible, you can sell the most treasured item you got from the Pantheon, and that might be enough."

Putting everything else aside, the set of mid-grade eternal divine weapons in the hands of Su Qi, the World God, alone is worth 600,000 cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid, which might be enough to directly buy this Dragon Transformation Fruit.

Of course, few people are willing to sell their most treasured possessions to acquire another trump card.

Unless this treasure truly excites those cultivators.

……

"Out!"

"The dragon fruit was taken out on the first day?"

The Dao Lords on the top floor were all invigorated, including Dao Lord Da Mo and his wife, as well as several Dao Lords on the verge of merging with Dao, such as Tian Qingzi and Shui Fengzi. Their gazes all turned to the two Dao Lords in the hall.

To be precise, there are two forces participating in this competition for dragon fruit.

Apart from Xuelong Daojun, Longshen Daojun and Tianlong Daojun are on the same side.

In reality, the Dragon God Dao Lord had already obtained a Dragon Transformation Fruit many chaotic eras ago, and thus formed a great enmity with a Dao Lord named Qianying.

This time, the Dao Lords present all vaguely understood that the Dragon God Dao Lord's main goal in obtaining the Dragon Transformation Fruit was to acquire the Universal Cloud Palace, and the Dragon Transformation Fruit would most likely be contested between the Heavenly Dragon Dao Lord and the Snow Dragon Dao Lord.

"The Dragon Fruit, this rare treasure, has finally appeared."

Looking down at the dark gold fruit with scales, Tianlong Daojun's eyes gleamed with fervor. "If it weren't for Brother Dragon God informing me of the Dragon Transformation Fruit, I probably would have missed this treasure."

"Hmph. This treasure will only be yours once you buy it." Xuelong Daojun glanced at Tianlong Daojun, but didn't take him seriously at all.

They were merely second-step Dao Lords of average strength. It was only because the Dragon God Dao Lord had recently broken through to the third-step level that he was somewhat wary of the two of them joining forces.

"Then just wait and see." Tianlong Daojun looked over.

……

"Rare Dragon Fruit, starting price 100,000 cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid."

The beautiful woman looked down, and the emotions of all the cultivators in the Wanbao Palace had been completely stirred, so she said no more:
"Now, let the treasure hunt begin!"

Wow! ! !
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Wanbao Palace fell silent.

One hundred thousand square meters!
This base price alone is something few in the World Realm can afford!
One by one, their passionate hearts were instantly doused with a bucket of ice water.

As for having the intention to steal it?
Even the Dao Lord of Life and Death dared not put it into action, let alone these cultivators.

Not to mention the cultivators on the exhibition stand, each of whom possessed powerful World Realm auras, there was also a Dao Lord of Life and Death on the top floor of the Wanbao Palace.

at this time.

"120,000 cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid".

"120,000 cubic meters? Heavenly Dragon Dao Lord, you want this treasure? 140,000 cubic meters!"

"Seventeen hundred thousand cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid!"

"Two hundred thousand cubic meters! Daoist Xuelong, you may not be as well prepared as I am."

"Hmph! The battle for the treasure isn't over yet, Dragon God Dao Lord, I refuse to believe you don't want the Time-Traveling Magic Treasure, the Universal Cloud Palace, which will only appear at the very end!"

At the same time, sounds also came from the highest floor next to the main hall. Each sound that echoed in the hall startled the cultivators below.

But upon hearing the bidding, Lei Zhan and Yi Feng World God, who were observing from inside the room, were moved.

"Heavenly Dragon Dao Lord, Dragon God Dao Lord".

Lei Zhan's gaze was deep and thoughtful, but a question arose in his mind: "This competition involves three voices. The Heavenly Dragon and Dragon God Dao Lords are likely on the same side, while the Snow Dragon Dao Lord also desires the Dragon Transformation Fruit. But the Dragon God Dao Lord also wants the Time-Traveling Magic Treasure, the Universe Flowing Cloud Palace..."

Lei Zhan thought about the information revealed by Daoist Da Mo: a time-traveling magic weapon would appear in this treasure competition, which was of the low-grade Eternal level.

Although this treasure is more precious than ordinary eternal divine weapons, it can still be purchased for around 100,000 cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid even at a normal price.

At the Treasure Club, it's much cheaper.

Of course, if this treasure is the Huanyu Liuyun Palace... then in a real competition, the more than 100,000 cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid that Lei Zhan obtained by selling a large number of treasures would be somewhat insufficient.

"Let's wait and see," Lei Zhan shook his head.

Although he possesses many precious treasures, each one could fetch hundreds of thousands or even millions of cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid.

However, it would be absolutely impossible for Lei Zhan to sell any of his superior-grade flying boats or armor in exchange for this time-traveling artifact.

"Three hundred thousand cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid".

The competition between Daoist Xuelong and Daoist Tianlong continues, and one can glean certain insights from their Daoist titles.

Both of them possess the bloodline of divine beasts. If they consume the Dragon Transformation Fruit, causing their bloodlines to undergo a transformation, they will be able to utilize the benefits more effectively than ordinary cultivators.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand cubic meters!" Xuelong Daojun said calmly, "Three hundred and fifty thousand cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid. Even if you, Tianlong Daojun, could come up with that price, you would have to sell a large number of treasures and suffer a severe financial loss!"

"No need for your trouble, 380,000 cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid!" Heavenly Dragon Dao Lord gritted his teeth before quoting this price.

"Four hundred thousand cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid," Xuelong Daojun immediately said.

Four hundred thousand cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid—normally speaking, buying this Dragon Transformation Fruit wouldn't be considered a bargain; it's usually around that price.

After all, the body of a top-grade Dao Divine Weapon and the functions of an Eternal Low-grade Armor Magic Treasure are at most worth this price.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Dragon Transformation Fruit is extremely beneficial to special bloodlines, even 350,000 cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid would be the maximum.

"Forty-two hundred thousand cubic meters!" Heavenly Dragon Dao Lord glanced at Dragon God Dao Lord before speaking.

"420,000 cubic meters? That's quite a sum!" Xuelong Daojun laughed heartily, but stopped bidding.

"Hmm? Damn it!" Tianlong Daojun frowned. Although he had obtained the treasure, his expression was very unpleasant.

As Xuelong Daojun said, 420,000 cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid was already a treasure that could seriously damage him.

……

The Dragon Transformation Fruit ultimately won the treasure with a price of 420,000 cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid, leaving countless cultivators in awe.

After all, most of the tens of thousands of cultivators participating in the treasure-hunting competition were ancestral gods, ancestral immortals, world gods, and chaos immortals.

The treasure hunt continues.

Lei Zhan secretly hoped that the magic weapon of time would appear.

One by one, the treasures were sold, though occasionally one or two remained unclaimed by any cultivator.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since the treasure hunt began, and all the cultivators in the hall were becoming increasingly enthusiastic.

Because the best items are saved for later; the later you get to the top, the more amazing items you'll find.

"This time, the magic treasure I've brought out is a time-based magic treasure of the eternal level." The beautiful woman smiled, her voice echoing throughout the hall and reaching the ears of tens of thousands of cultivators.

"This is a low-grade Eternal Time-Traveling Magic Treasure, named Chenguang Treasure Palace. Its power is so great that even a Dao Lord of Life and Death can easily maintain a five-thousand-fold acceleration of time."

"If a cultivator is skilled in understanding the principles of time and space, they can easily maintain a time acceleration of ten thousand times."

As the beautiful woman spoke, a miniature palace floated in her palm. The palace looked inconspicuous, but it quickly took flight and soared into the sky, radiating immense pressure that permeated the entire hall, making every cultivator feel the pressure.

"The Eternal Divine Weapon 'Chenguang Treasure Palace' has a starting price of 20,000 cubic meters. The bidding begins!"

The silence remained, just as it had been when the dragon fruit appeared.

Although this price is much cheaper than that of dragon fruit, it is still a price that many world gods cannot reach.

Of course, this was also because it was the first treasure-hunting event of this chaotic era, with many good items, attracting many powerful cultivators.

Several peak world gods of the level, such as Su Qi World God, Wu Ming World God, and Yi Feng World God, also came.

These kinds of time-accelerating magical artifacts are very useful to cultivators, and at least some geniuses and prodigies like them very much.

One year of cultivation inside the magical artifact is equivalent to thousands of years outside; cultivating for one Chaos Era is equivalent to thousands of Chaos Eras passing outside...

Even the Winged Wind World God, burdened with an overwhelming blood feud, showed a burning desire in his eyes.

Suddenly.

A faint voice came from a room on the second floor of the hall.

"Twenty thousand cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid".

"The treasure that Daoist Da Mo mentioned should be this Chenguang Treasure Palace." Lei Zhan glanced at the room on the second floor where the auction was taking place. Each room had restrictions to block various detection methods.

However, despite the bids from practitioners, Lei Zhan did not rush to bid.

This is just the beginning; it's not even time for him to make a move yet.

"Twenty-one thousand cubic meters."

"Twenty-two thousand cubic meters."

……

"Thirty-six thousand square meters."

Soon, the price climbed to 36,000 yuan per square meter.

"Forty thousand cubic meters."

Suddenly, a voice came from the top floor.

"Huh?" Lei Zhan was taken aback; the voice wasn't unfamiliar to him.

Just a few days ago, this voice was heard among the Dao Lords who were bidding for the Dragon Transformation Fruit.

“Master, it’s that Dragon God Dao Lord!” World God Yifeng said, “According to that Snow Dragon Dao Lord, isn’t this Dragon God Dao Lord preparing to compete for another Time-based magic treasure, the Universe Flowing Cloud Palace?”

The Winged Wind World God was also somewhat interested in this treasure. However, he could also see that Lei Zhan, as its owner, was determined to obtain this time-traveling magic treasure, so he gave up the idea of ​​competing for it.

But now, his enemy has made another bid, which makes his heart leap into his throat.

"Didn't he want the Universal Cloud Palace? Why is he joining in the fun?" Lei Zhan glanced at the Winged Wind World God and frowned.

He naturally recognized that it was the Dragon God Dao Lord bidding.

"However... I've prepared a large amount of Chaos Elixir for this treasure." Lei Zhan looked down at the palace surrounded by the power of spacetime and said directly:

"Forty-one thousand cubic meters!"
