I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

“Sanzi, I also want to go and see the Qianwu Auction. I’ll pay you back for the 10 Hunyuan units later,” Hong said with a smile. They were sworn brothers with Luo Yuan, so they didn’t stand on ceremony.

“Third Brother, me too,” Luo Feng echoed.

"Alright, let's go see the splendor of those realm lords tomorrow!" Luo Yuan raised his teacup and toasted Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen.

………………

December 16th, 2065 in the Chinese calendar.

Luo Yuan greeted Jiang Fang, then put on the consciousness helmet and entered the virtual universe.

Luo Yuan, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen met in the virtual universe and then left the Jiuxingwan community together.

They summoned the Pegasus and rode it to the 'teleportation point'.

"Teleport." Luo Yuan and his three companions stood inside the teleportation point, holding invitations to the Qianwu Auction. Every three-star customer would receive one.

call!

Luo Yuan and his companions vanished from Black Dragon Mountain Island in an instant, teleporting to a floating city above the 'Qianwu Continent'. The invitation emitted points of light, causing the floating city's defenses to automatically open a passage, allowing the four to enter.

This is an incredibly elegant land floating in the clouds. The scenery on this floating city is beautiful, with flowers and plants everywhere. The most dazzling thing in the entire floating city is the enormous building—the auction hall!

The triennial Qianwu Auction is always held in this auction hall!

"Hello sir, welcome to this year's Qianwu Auction. This is your seat number."

"Miss, welcome to this year's Qianwu Auction. This is your seat number."

People dressed in either splendid or simple attire, some with snake-like bodies, others towering seven or eight meters tall and incredibly robust, were all there to attend the Qianwu Universe Auction. The crowd was enormous, with two long queues already forming at the entrance of the auction hall as everyone waited to enter.

"So many three-star clients?" Luo Yuan and his three companions were also standing in line. In front of them was a cold, towering giant who seemed like a burning flame, while behind them was a dwarf who was only one meter tall but had three eyes. However, the natural aura of power emanating from them made all four of them feel pressured; this was the mental pressure that only a World Lord level expert possessed.

“Almost all three-star clients are realm lords! A very small number are big businessmen or young people with super backgrounds,” Luo Yuan said casually after reviewing some information.

"Almost all of them are Realm Lords?" Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen glanced around and saw that the queue had formed two long lines, with at least several thousand people, which meant several thousand Realm Lords.

"My goodness, this auction hall has 16 entrances. So... it's not just us queuing, the other fifteen entrances are all queuing. There are probably around 100,000 Realm Lords queuing right now," Luo Yuan exclaimed.

"Ten thousand realm lords?" Luo Feng and the other two exclaimed in surprise.

Chapter 101 Million Realm Master

"Puta, there were more than 131 million Realm Lords who participated in this primary auction last time. Do you think this year's number will exceed that?" The giant iron tower, whose whole body seemed to be burning with flames, said in a deep voice in front of Luo Yuan and the other three.

"Yes, it will definitely exceed that. It is said that there will be one spot this year for entering the 'Primordial Universe' for enlightenment. This spot... is a Realm Lord spot. It can allow a Realm Lord to enter for enlightenment. Many Immortal Powerhouses have come to buy this spot. For this spot, there will definitely be a lot of Realm Lords coming this time." The man in front of the towering iron tower, who was completely covered by a robe, said hoarsely.

Luo Yuan and his three companions were like huskies that had wandered into a pack of fierce wolves, cautiously listening to these big shots talking at length.

The Initial Universe? Upon hearing these four words, Luo Yuan couldn't help but smile expectantly. With his current foundation, he might even be able to compete for first place in the upcoming Universe Genius Battle.

He has already reached the ninth level in all ten domains. If he were to pick up another batch of attributes from among the trillions of geniuses, he should be able to break through to the "world" level directly, and might even merge into the legendary "chaotic world". When his "world" opens, those geniuses will become fish on his chopping board, at his mercy.

This doesn't even include the power of the ten laws that Luo Yuan picked up. However, geniuses who can comprehend laws at the stellar and cosmic levels are extremely rare. Luo Yuan challenged super geniuses at the first and second levels of the cosmic level in the decisive battle space of the virtual universe, and the power of laws he picked up was only a dozen or so strands. As for those stellar-level geniuses, most of them had only touched the threshold of laws.

If it weren't for Luo Yuan's renowned name as "Demon King" in this decisive battle space, and his mastery of multiple domain powers, those super geniuses at the first and second tiers of the universe level wouldn't have bothered to pay any attention to his challenge.

Luo Yuan felt he was very close to breaking through to the universe level. With his powerful foundation, he wondered what the universe world formed in his body would be like after the breakthrough, especially what changes would occur in his eight dantian. He was full of anticipation.

……

Some of the realm lords nearby knew each other and were discussing those topics, but Luo Yuan and the other three blinked and remained silent.

"These four young men, which family or organization do you belong to?" A lean, one-eyed man from a group next to Luo Yuan and his companions greeted them with a smile.

“No family, no organization,” Luo Yuan answered simply.

"Oh!"

The one-eyed man nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Just by their demeanor, one could discern the strength of many people around them… The large group of realm lords easily realized that Luo Yuan and his companions were likely some of the weaker individuals. However, in this setting, the weaker someone was, the more one should avoid offending them. Because someone weak enough to become a three-star client usually had a terrifying background!

……

"Gentlemen, welcome to this year's Qianwu Auction. Here are your seat numbers."

Luo Yuan took a token and saw that the black token had a semi-transparent screen with a seat number on it—KND99287. Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were seated next to Luo Yuan because they had come with him.

……

"It's huge!" Upon entering the auction hall, Luo Yuan and his three companions were in a daze.

The entire auction hall was like a football stadium on Earth, with stands packed tightly all around... but there were just too many seats in the auction hall.

Each seat is six meters wide and ten meters high—such enormous seats! There are a total of three million seats, arranged in concentric rings, stretching as far as the eye can see. It's as if a world is made up of countless seats. The large size of the seats is primarily designed to accommodate customers with very large body sizes.

Luo Yuan and his three companions found the number engravings on their seats and sat down.

The seat is six meters wide, bigger than my own bed.

Countless seats...

The auction hall was filled with the sounds of conversation, as if countless gods were conversing.

"So many realm lords?" The four held their breath.

"The Qianwu Universe Kingdom has over 13,000 star domains! The Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain alone has nearly a hundred World Lords! So the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom... on average, has over a million World Lords! In reality, due to the guidance of many immortal beings, the probability of World Lords emerging in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is even higher. There are millions of World Lords in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom," Luo Yuan said.

……

Three hours later.

"Everyone!"

A clear voice instantly spread out, echoing throughout the entire auction hall. The vast auction hall immediately fell silent, and everyone consciously stopped talking.

Luo Yuan and the other three looked toward the center of the auction hall.

A bald old man carrying a black tortoise shell stood in the center of the auction hall, while a nearly 1,000-meter-tall 'three-dimensional phantom' of the old man appeared in the sky above.

"Welcome everyone to this year's Qianwu Auction. Thank you to Virtual Universe Company, Universe First Bank, Universe Galaxy Bank, Giant Axe Arena, Universe Mercenary Alliance, and the Qianwu Universe Kingdom for their generous support," the old man said with a smile. "I believe many of you recognize me; you can call me Old Barto. I'm here again to host this top-tier event!"

"The last Qianwu Auction had 1316038 participants, and the statistics for this auction have just come out. Do you know... how many people participated?"

"1823959 people! 182 million, more than 50 more than last time."

Suddenly, the entire auction hall erupted in a clamor like the roar of waves.

Those who can come here are at least three-star customers...

Amidst the densely packed seats, Luo Yuan clicked his tongue and sighed inwardly, "In the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, my wealth might rank in the top 100, but in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom..." Different statuses lead to different perspectives. Without reaching the three-star client threshold, one doesn't even qualify to participate in this Qianwu Auction.

"No more nonsense!"

"The official start time for this auction is fast approaching. Before the auction officially begins, as usual, let's have an auction first as a warm-up." The old man in the tortoise shell pointed to the side, where a huge screen immediately appeared. On the screen, a beautiful universe and galaxies appeared, one after another, with many life-bearing planets in each galaxy, and many powerful beings on each life-bearing planet.

"This is the Tana Star Region!"

"Among the more than 13,000 star regions in our Qianwu Universe Kingdom, this is a small star region ranked near the bottom, with a total of 668 star systems. Previously, it was the territory of an immortal powerhouse. However, this immortal being is preparing for a life-or-death adventure, so he wants to sell the entire star region. Therefore, the pre-auction item for our auction is this star region—the Tana Star Region!" the tortoise-shell elder shouted.

The auction hall was filled with noise.

Luo Yuan and his three companions, seated high on the enormous seats, were also somewhat shocked: "The Tana Star Region? They're auctioning off a whole star region right off the bat?"

It should be noted that even the 'Silver Blue Empire,' a primitive civilization in the universe, only has eight star systems. Although the Tana Star Region is a small star region, it still has more than six hundred star systems.

Chapter 102 Divine Weapon

"Tana Star Region!"

“An independent star field, as long as it does not establish a country, can be protected by the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.”

"Such a star field can definitely serve as the foundation for a family's inheritance for billions of years! It can be used to train warrior bases and slave star systems. There are only so many star fields in the entire universe, and even fewer will be auctioned off. Now, everyone, start bidding! Starting price—300 Chaos Units." The old man in the tortoise shell shouted loudly, "Each bid must be an integer multiple of Chaos Units."

Immediately, a line of numbers appeared on the large screen next to them: "300 Mixed Yuan Units".

"400 Mixed Yuan Units".

Prices immediately soared.

Luo Yuan held the black token and looked at the large central screen in the distance. The numbers on the screen kept refreshing, but he wasn't very interested in that. He was only interested in treasures that could help him improve his strength, and he couldn't afford them right now.

"1000 Chaotic Units, three seconds countdown, 3, 2, 1... Congratulations to guest number KBR38293, you have won the Tana Starfield and become its master." The old man in the tortoise shell's voice was incredibly loud. "The official start time for this year's Qianwu Auction is almost over, 58, 57... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

The sound was thunderous, like that of a god.

The center of the auction hall became dazzlingly bright, its light illuminating the faces of the powerful figures seated in the enormous surrounding seats.

"This auction is now officially open!"

"Now we have the first batch of auction items. You can all see the 1000 items to be auctioned on your auction tokens. If you wish to buy, please be prepared to place your bids," the old man in the tortoise shell shouted. "Now we have the first item—92 members of the Berna Clan, a metallic life form."

………………

Items were auctioned off one after another, like a flowing stream.

The lowest transaction price is still in the tens of billions of universe coins, and the normal price is in the thousands of universe coins.

Luo Yuan and his three companions sat in their seats, watching as one precious item after another was auctioned off. They went from initial shock to numbness, and then to helplessness, because there weren't many things they could afford.

"Lanko Fruit is the best item for cultivating spirit beasts and plant life. Even if you are seriously injured, taking Lanko Fruit will have a healing effect. 100 Lanko Fruits make up one unit. There are 39 units of Lanko Fruit here. The minimum price for each unit is 1000 billion universe coins."

Luo Yuan, Luo Feng, and Hong suddenly became interested, as the Lan Ke fruit had a very good effect on cultivating the Mo Yun Teng.

then……

Luo Yuan ultimately spent approximately 2 trillion cosmic coins to purchase twelve units of Lan Ke Fruit, while Luo Feng and Hong also purchased two units of Lan Ke Fruit.

The auction items tumbled by.

The auction items were dazzling, and any single item would be enough to drive the domain lords crazy. However, at this grandest event in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, with over a million domain lords gathered, including some immortal beings, the bidding was anything but hesitant.

Three batches of goods, totaling 3000 items, were sold out quickly.

"This is the fourth batch of auction items. On your auction tokens, you can see the 1000 items that will be auctioned next. If you see something you want to bid on, please get ready," the old man in the tortoise shell said with a smile.
