System Auction Shop, I'll sell out across all realms!

The Heavenly King frowned deeply.

"So what are they waiting for?"

No one can answer this question.

He dared not let his guard down, and could only keep his strength ready to be unleashed at any moment, continuing to stand in front of the black mist, preparing to deal with any changes that might occur next.

At the same time, the atmosphere inside the Primordial Heavenly Palace was also extremely oppressive.

The Heavenly Clock, representing the time order of the heavens, is spinning wildly at an unprecedented speed.

The booming sound of the bell echoed continuously in the hall, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding void.

Logically, the markings on the clock should disappear each time it passes a node.

But now, the situation is completely different.

Those time points that had disappeared have begun to reappear one after another.

At each point in time, a different pattern appeared.

A shattered starry sky...

An ancient world completely shrouded in darkness...

In some of the patterns, one can vaguely see countless creatures fleeing across the blood-red earth, only to be swallowed up by the boundless darkness.

It was so close.

It really was just one last bit more!

But right at that very last point, the pointer suddenly stopped.

……

Our attention returns to the All-Heavens Auction House.

At this moment, all areas of the auction house have been arranged.

The lucky bags are ready, and countless lucky bags emitting different lights are quietly floating in mid-air.

Inside the auction hall, cultivators from all the heavens and myriad realms took their seats according to their assigned positions.

Time passed slowly.

The auction finally moved into the display of the first item.

Lin Tian stood in the center of the auction stage, his gaze slowly sweeping across the hall.

Just then, Wang Teng, whom he had sent to deal with the black fog, suddenly sent a message.

After listening, Lin Tian paused for a fleeting moment, almost imperceptibly.

Then, he slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the layers of space in the auction hall, looking towards boxes number two and three.

Inside the private room, the Creation and Peace Heavenly Immortal King seemed to sense something and looked at Lin Tian through the spatial barrier of the room.

The three people's gazes briefly met in the void.

With just that one glance, they understood each other's thoughts.

The heart that had been slightly relaxed because the auction was about to begin gradually sank at this moment.

"I didn't expect it to come so quickly."

The Heavenly Immortal King looked solemn.

On the other hand, Tai Shang's feelings were even more complicated.

He not only knew that the black mist had broken through the defenses at the edge of the heavens, but also learned from the message from the Primordial Heavenly Palace that the Heavenly Bell was approaching its final stage.

"Logically speaking..."

Tai Shang slowly withdrew his divine sense, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Tianzhong should enter the next era only after the first Immortal Emperor of all heavens appears and after its accumulated energy is completely perfected."

"But now, the first Immortal Emperor has clearly not yet been born in the heavens, so why has the Heavenly Bell arrived at this stage ahead of schedule?"

There is no answer to this question.

He didn't dare to voice his guess easily.

But in his heart, a very bad premonition was already creeping in.

No matter how powerful a Celestial King may be, he ultimately still exists within the realm of the Kingly Path.

But the Immortal Emperor is different.

What terrified Tai Shang the most was that Hongmeng Immortal Emperor!

Even just mentioning this name sent an indescribable chill through Tai Shang’s soul.

Their only hope might be Lin Tian.

Tai Shang looked up at the auction stage.

Lin Tian still showed no intention of stopping the auction.

With a gentle wave of Lin Tian's hand, the space around the auction stage rippled with subtle waves.

It was a Taoist robe.

As soon as the Taoist robe appeared, nine-colored light slowly flowed from its body.

A variety of colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, are intertwined.

Each color seems to contain an independent path.

Countless intricate and mysterious spiritual patterns covered the surface of the Taoist robe, appearing and disappearing as if they were breathing slowly with life.

The hem of the Taoist robe swayed gently even without any wind blowing.

Strands of unknown golden light flowed slowly from inside the robe, then merged back into it.

The golden light seemed to carry some incomprehensible Daoist essence; even just a glance at it made one feel much clearer-headed.

Some cultivators who were originally stuck in a bottleneck in their cultivation actually had a vague new understanding the moment their eyes fell on this Taoist robe.

"What kind of magical artifact is this?"

"Such powerful Daoist energy!"

"Just the slightest leak of scent loosened the bottleneck that had been plaguing me for years."

"The quality of this Taoist robe is probably far beyond that of an ordinary supreme immortal artifact."

Inside the hall, the voices of the monks gradually became noisy.

Although they did not know the specific effects of this treasure, its aura alone was enough to prove its extraordinary nature.

Finally, Lin Tian spoke.

His voice, though devoid of much emotion, clearly reached everyone's ears.

"The first item to be auctioned."

"The Supreme Immortal-level Magic Treasure, the Primordial Nine-Colored Heaven-Bearing Robe."

As Lin Tian uttered the name of this magical artifact, the Taoist robe in mid-air trembled slightly.

The nine-colored divine light suddenly shone brightly.

Spiritual runes detached from the robe, forming a small domain of Dao principles around it.

"This robe possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities."

"When attacked, it can automatically trigger a protective effect and counterattack to a certain extent."

"Even a supreme immortal would find it difficult to break through its defenses easily."

Lin Tian paused, then continued:

"In addition, the Primordial Nine-Colored Heaven-Bearing Robe also has the function of assisting cultivation."

"After wearing this robe, a cultivator's comprehension will be greatly enhanced, up to about ten times the original level."

"For cultivators who are stuck in a bottleneck, the value of this Daoist robe is probably self-evident."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire auction hall erupted in cheers.

"Really?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes in the entire auction hall were fixed on the Hunyuan Nine-Colored Heaven-Bearing Robe.

Only in the VIP box number one, the expression of the Heaven-Slaying Immortal King appeared particularly disdainful.

He looked at the Taoist robe floating above the auction platform, a slight smile playing on his lips and a hint of disdain in his eyes.

In the eyes of the Celestial King who slayed the heavens, clothes are ultimately just clothes.

Therefore, when he heard the introduction of the Hunyuan Nine-Colored Heaven-Bearing Robe, he felt that Lin Tian was putting the cart before the horse.

"I thought the first item the All Heavens Auction House would bring out would be something amazing."

The Immortal King who slayed the heavens leaned back in his chair.

"I never expected it to be just a Taoist robe to wear."

"Whether it's for defense or to aid cultivation, it's all just unorthodox methods in the end."

He sneered, his tone full of disdain.

"It seems that this forestry owner is not as powerful as the rumors suggest."

"Just a playboy with a reputation that's all talk and no action."

On the auction stage, Lin Tian calmly looked at the crowd in front of him.

"The Primordial Nine-Colored Heavenly Robe is now up for auction."

"Starting bid: one million immortal crystals."

"Each bid increase must be no less than 10,000 Immortal Crystals."
