The Final Sprint

Chapter 67 The Final Sprint

The auction soon came to its final stage.

Zhou Tong, however, seemed somewhat disheartened.

So far, all the expenses have only amounted to a little over 100 Mixed Yuan Units. His planned 10 billion Mixed Yuan Units are simply a waste of resources.

The Qianwu Auction didn't have as many treasures as he had imagined; the resources he bought might only be enough to barely master the Great Five Elements Technique.

"Next up are the final 100 treasures, each one incredibly precious and rare."

With a wave of his hand, the old man transformed the auction hall into a starry sky, and a golden planet flew past the crowd like a shooting star.

The golden meteor flew to the very center of the venue before stopping, revealing its true form.

A golden leaf with strange magic.

"The first and final item: a golden leaf from the Ancient Tree of Kras. Those who already know, need no explanation; those who don't, don't need to know."

Starting price: 0.

. '

The millions of Realm Lords present were in an uproar, but the auction price of the golden leaves from the Kras Ancient Tree was skyrocketing.

1000 Mixed Units.

5000 Mixed Units.

Prices are still rising rapidly, changing more than ten times in a second.

Luo Feng asked in surprise, "Babata, what is this?"

Babata said calmly, "You'll understand when you reach the Immortal level. There's no point in telling you now."

At this point, Zhou Tong also made a bid: 10000 Hunyuan units.

Babata exclaimed in alarm, "Zhou Tong can't waste his money like this! You can't use the golden leaves of the Kras Ancient Tree at all. If people find out you bought them, with your current strength, you'll definitely get into a huge disaster!"

Zhou Tong calmly said, "As long as it's a plant, there's nothing I can't use. I'm actually hoping that this Golden Leaf will be effective, so that my Green Wood Emperor Technique can reach another level."

"Uh..." Babata was momentarily speechless. The Three Thousand Great Daos were beyond her comprehension, so naturally she couldn't comment on them.

From then on, Zhou Tong took it one step at a time, regardless of whether it was useful or not, and he didn't let any of them go.

"The next item is extremely rare and scarce: a Demon Slayer skin!"

Babata immediately became excited: "You can't compete with Luo Feng for Zhou Tong's Demon Slayer skin."

Luo Feng asked in confusion, "What use is the Demon Slayer Clan skin to me?"

Babata patted Luo Feng's head with its tail: "Silly! The Golden Horned Beast has already broken through to the cosmic level and can now create a second clone. The Demon Slayer Clan, as the strongest assassin race in the universe, is a natural-born spatial darling. Using the clone it creates will allow you to comprehend the laws of space more easily!"

Zhou Tong then stated, "Don't worry, we won't compete with Luo Feng for it."

However, I suggest Luo Feng wait until after the Genius Battle to consider creating a second avatar. Joining the Virtual Universe Company would definitely offer better options.

Thor nodded: "Zhou Tong is right. Virtual Universe Company is one of the five top forces in humankind. It is definitely not comparable to the mere Qianwu Auction House. When Luo Feng encounters something better, he will have no chance to regret it."

Babata retorted, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... Even if Luo Feng isn't in a hurry to cultivate a second clone, he can buy the Demon Slayer Clan skin first, and then deal with the rest later."

Hong nodded in agreement, saying, "That's a good idea. It's no loss to have some on hand."

Zhou Tong shrugged: "Even if Luo Feng doesn't buy it, I will."

Seeing this, Luo Feng no longer hesitated and made a direct offer.

At this point, the price of the Demon Slayer skin had reached 20000 trillion cosmic coins.

Luo Feng doubled his bet, raising it to 4 Mixed Yuan Units, and won it outright.

Soon, only one of the 100 most prized treasures remained.

Of the 99 treasures mentioned earlier, Zhou Tong bought 98, and Luo Feng bought the remaining one.

To outsiders, this account seems designed to monopolize all the top-tier items, leaving no room for anyone else.

While others were angry, dissatisfied, and even protested the auction, their outbursts were nothing but impotent rage.

The Qianwu Auction is supported by the five top human powers and hosted by the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

They don't care who buys the treasure, as long as someone buys it.

"Final item: A spot for enlightenment in the initial universe, limited to World Lord level strength. Starting bid: 0"

The entire auction room fell silent as everyone waited for Zhou Tong to make his bid.

Babata immediately said anxiously, "Zhou Tong, don't buy any more. This will be even less useful to you. Don't provoke public anger."

Zhou Tong laughed and said, "The rewards for the Genius Battle are much better than this. I don't have any relatives or subordinates who need it, so I won't waste my time buying something just for decoration."

Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng were quite curious about the purpose of the slots in the initial universe.

So Luo Feng asked, "Babata, what is the initial universe?"

Babata replied, "You wouldn't understand if I explained it too much. You can think of it as a treasure trove of cultivation, where world lords can more easily comprehend the laws and increase their chances of becoming immortals."

Zhou Tong added, "As long as we can go all the way in the Genius Battle, we will get a much richer reward than this, so there is no need to care about this little bit."

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen nodded, somewhat bewildered.

Just then, an immortal powerhouse bought a spot for comprehending the primordial universe.

The elderly man at the central booth then announced, "All the treasures in this auction have been sold. This Qianwu Auction has now come to an end. Thank you all for your support, and we'll see you next time."

On the day the auction ended.

The treasures that Zhou Tong, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen each won were sent to Firethorn Star.

"The registration for the Peak Genius Battle will open in three months. We can use this time to make a final push."

Having obtained the treasure, the four of them each began their seclusion.

Hong and Thor mainly familiarized themselves with the new weapons and attempted to comprehend the fundamental laws.

Luo Feng has already mastered the fundamentals of the Law of Metal, but his White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash and Great Devouring Technique cannot be improved in a short time due to a lack of high-level resources. He can only try to cultivate a Divine Weapon.

Zhou Tong bought the most treasures at the Qianwu Auction, so he planned to try to raise the Great Five Elements Technique to another level in the next three months.

Berna metallic lifeform, 10 units of Xuanling Wood, golden leaves of the Kras Ancient Tree, 8 tons of Tianlan Stone, Tianluo Crystal, star core...

Zhou Tong took out over a thousand treasures with the five elements attributes from his world ring and categorized them simply by their attributes.

Then he summoned the runes of the Great Five Elements Technique from his five internal organs and began to absorb the five elements materials.

As time went by, the White Emperor Talisman and the Golden Emperor Talisman gradually filled up and evolved into two figures composed of platinum energy: the White Emperor and the Golden Emperor.

After some time, the White Emperor and the Golden Emperor suddenly began to expand, and expand again, until they emerged from the training room and the manor, went straight into the clouds, and transformed into two towering deities.

Then the two deities suddenly collapsed, transforming into a platinum cloud that covered half the planet, within which countless platinum Gengjin divine thunder roared.

Zhou Tong flew into the sky and took a deep breath at the white gold divine cloud, instantly causing all rivers to flow back to their source.

The platinum cloud returned to Zhou Tong's body and automatically went to his lungs.

The lungs, dyed platinum gold, vaguely resembled two deities.

Meanwhile, Zhou Tong's breathing also took on a faint white-gold hue, containing a terrifying aura of killing intent.

Then the five elements rotated, the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist, the Green Wood Emperor Skill, the Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi, and the Yellow Emperor Earth Emperor Dao, changing in turn and returning to the five internal organs of Zhou Tong.

The next moment, a phantom image of the Five Emperors' Canopy Umbrella condensed above Zhou Tong's head.
