The Chaotic Ancient Beast Descends!

A fist-sized stone with a grayish-white aura flowing across its surface appeared before everyone's eyes.

The moment the stone appeared, an ancient, boundless, and seemingly all-encompassing aura of primordial chaos reverberated throughout the entire area.

"The final item up for auction: Chaos Origin Stone."

The female auctioneer's voice trembled slightly.

"This item needs no further explanation. The starting price is 5 billion top-grade immortal crystals."

The eyes of all the top immortal lords in the room instantly turned incredibly fervent.

"Six billion top-grade immortal crystals."

"Eight billion top-grade immortal crystals, plus a top-grade immortal spiritual vein."

Bigwigs from all sides made their moves, and the bidding was fierce, with the price soaring to 10 billion top-grade immortal crystals plus three top-grade immortal spiritual veins.

Lu Yuan sat in the private room, looking down at the group of immortals who were still bidding ten million or twenty million, and felt a little annoyed.

Too lazy to dawdle, Lu Yuan picked up the communication jade slip.

"Five hundred billion top-grade immortal crystals, plus ten sixth-grade immortal island spiritual veins."

Lu Yuan's cold and domineering voice resounded throughout the entire auction house through the array.

Five hundred billion and ten sixth-grade spiritual veins—this is an astronomical figure that even an ordinary seventh-grade immortal island couldn't come up with by exhausting all its resources.

The once noisy auction hall fell into dead silence instantly, and all the immortal lords who were bidding shut their mouths.

No one dared to follow, and no one could follow; the fox-woman auctioneer struck the gavel three times in a row.

"Congratulations to the VIP in Box No. 1 for successfully bidding on the Chaos Origin Stone."

Lu Yuan successfully obtained the most crucial treasure for breaking through to the peak of the Immortal Lord realm, but he did not get up and leave.

The auction has ended; now, the real drama of Chaos City is about to begin.

In the heart of Chaos City, inside the extremely luxurious VIP box of the Origin Auction House, a faint fragrance of spiritual energy still lingered in the air.

Lu Yuan sat upright in a wide chair carved from ten-thousand-year-old warm jade, his long, strong fingers gently stroking the specially made jade box in his hand.

The surface of the jade box was covered with a layer of subtle sealing array patterns, and it was warm to the touch. Inside the jade box was the most valuable treasure he had acquired on this trip—the Chaos Origin Stone.

Lu Yuan's eyes were deep. He scanned the jade box one last time with his divine sense, and after confirming that the seal was intact, he slightly flipped his wrist.

With a slight spatial ripple generated when the storage space was opened, the jade box containing the Chaos Origin Stone instantly disappeared from his palm and was properly stored in the deepest part of the storage space.

The very next instant the jade box disappeared.

"Boom!"

A terrifying roar, seemingly capable of tearing the entire world apart, suddenly exploded from the outermost edge of Chaos City without warning!

The sound was so loud that it exceeded the limits of hearing, transforming into a tangible, destructive sound wave.

The seemingly indestructible Chaos City, weathered by countless ages, swayed violently like a small boat in a raging storm under the deafening roar.

The floor inside the private room trembled violently, and the finest tea on the table was shaken out and splashed onto the expensive animal hide carpet.

Even more alarming was that the one-way crystal wall directly in front of Lu Yuan, which was so expensive that it could withstand a full-force attack from an ordinary Immortal Lord, suddenly cracked open with a sharp but incredibly glaring sound.

Fine crystal powder fell softly, dancing in the gentle light of the private room.

"roar--!"

Without giving anyone a chance to breathe, a terrifying roar that seemed to pierce the soul and came from the ancient wilderness resounded throughout the entire Chaos City with overwhelming force!

This beastly roar didn't travel through the air at all; it exploded directly deep within the souls of every cultivator.

The roar was accompanied by an extremely violent spatial law power, as well as a suffocating and terrifying pressure belonging to the Immortal Lord level!

This oppressive force was like an invisible, ancient divine mountain, crashing down on the heads of everyone in Chaos City.

In the hall below the auction house, the immortals who were orderly leaving were suddenly caught in the crossfire.

Even cultivators with cultivation levels above the Xuanxian realm could barely maintain their balance, but they were still shaken by the oppressive force, causing their blood and qi to surge, making them stagger and fall as if they were drunk.

Those with lower cultivation levels didn't even have time to scream before they felt as if they had been struck by lightning in the chest, their faces turning deathly pale. With a "whoosh," mouthfuls of blood gushed out, staining the polished floor of the auction house red. Some even rolled their eyes back and were knocked unconscious by the oppressive force.

Lu Yuan sat firmly in his seat, his body motionless. The oppressive aura that could seriously injure a low-level cultivator vanished without a trace as soon as it reached him, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

He slowly stood up, hands behind his back, his gaze sharp as lightning as he looked coldly out of the city through the cracked one-way crystal wall.

To the east of Chaos City, the towering defensive barrier, built of unknown black boulders and covered with dense defensive array patterns, which had withstood countless storms and attacks from ferocious beasts, had collapsed!

Amidst the flying black boulder fragments and the violent backlash of the array, the city wall was forcefully smashed open, creating a massive and shocking breach.

And in mid-air at that gap, a terrifyingly large figure, so large it inspired despair, lurked.

This is an ancient dragon with a body length exceeding 100,000 zhang!

Its body was so enormous that it hovered in mid-air, resembling a continuous mountain range that completely obscured the sky to the east of Chaos City, casting large, chilling shadows.

Chaotic Void Ancient Dragon!

This ancient dragon was covered in thick scales the size of millstones. These scales had no luster and presented a dark, lifeless, chaotic color, as if they could devour all the light around them.

Its enormous head was held high, and what was most terrifying were its eyes—those huge eye sockets had no pupils; instead, there were two void storms that were burning and spinning wildly!

The void storm flashed with spatial blades that could tear everything apart; just a glance at it made one feel as if their soul would be sucked in and torn to pieces.

The overwhelming pressure of a fully-fledged Immortal Lord was released without reservation from the body of this Ancient Void Dragon, like a tangible black tsunami, wave after wave, sweeping wildly into the Chaos City.

Behind the massive body of the Ancient Void Dragon, an even more chilling sight appeared.

Countless chaotic ancient beasts, densely packed and endless, surged into Chaos City like a black tide bursting its banks, treading on the rubble and rushing through the huge gap in the city wall!

These chaotic ancient beasts were bizarre in shape; some had seven or eight heads, some were covered in pus-filled poisonous thorns, and some wriggled on the ground like mud at an astonishing speed.

Their strengths varied, ranging from the Mahayana stage to the Golden Immortal stage, but without exception, all of them had bloodshot eyes and had fallen into absolute madness.
