The abrupt bid caused an uproar in the auction hall.
The Azure King Limitless Sword and Imperial Soul-Scourge Spear were already well-known across the Black-Corner Region due to Yuan Manor's reputation. As two of the region's most powerful weapons, they were highly coveted.
It was widely recognized that the Azure King Limitless Sword could enable a Dou Wang to fight an opponent one or two stars higher, while the Imperial Soul-Scourge Spear granted similar advantages to Dou Huangs.
In the Dou Qi continent, surpassing one's level in battle was exceedingly rare. Only true prodigies could accomplish such feats, and the stronger one became, the harder it was to achieve.
At the Dou Wang and Dou Huang stages, unless one had an overwhelming advantage in techniques or cultivation methods, even prodigies found it difficult to challenge someone of higher rank.
Yet, these two weapons from Yuan Manor shattered such norms, making them objects of obsession for countless experts. The ability to bridge a two-star gap with a mere weapon was nothing short of miraculous, and it was this potential that drove many strong individuals to vie for these treasures, even at exorbitant prices.
Some Dou Wangs and Dou Huangs had even chosen to join Yuan Manor solely to obtain these weapons. After all, unlike medicinal pills, weapons could be used indefinitely and could even become heirlooms. To many, this made them far more attractive.
Thus, when Mo Yu offered such treasures as his bid, the crowd fell into stunned silence.
Countless eyes turned toward the VIP section, focusing on the silver-eyed youth who stood up. Shocked murmurs rippled through the hall. Even the other distinguished guests in the VIP section, though outwardly composed, couldn't fully hide their astonishment.
As the leader of Yuan Manor and a high-tier weapon refiner, it was unsurprising for Mo Yu to use weapons for such a trade.
However, offering the Azure King Limitless Sword and Imperial Soul-Scourge Spear—some of the most valuable creations of Yuan Manor—still left everyone marveling at his generosity. The combined value of the three weapons easily exceeded fifteen million gold coins, a figure that left many speechless.
On the auction platform, the white-haired auctioneer was briefly stunned by Mo Yu's offer. Recovering quickly, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Wiping the sweat from his brow, his thoughts raced.
The two Azure King Limitless Swords and Imperial Soul-Scourge Spear were indeed extraordinarily valuable. Yet, exchanging them for the corpse of a near-eighth-grade magical beast still felt somewhat inadequate.
Although the beast was now a lifeless husk, it had once been an apex predator, and even in death, its residual aura was awe-inspiring.
Nonetheless, the bidder was none other than Mo Yu, the leader of Yuan Manor, the top-ranked figure on the Black List, and the new overlord of the Black-Corner Region. Such factors made it difficult to reject the bid outright.
The auctioneer's gaze subtly flickered toward a particular direction in the hall. After receiving a slight shake of the head from someone in the shadows, he sighed inwardly but maintained a smile. Turning his attention back to the crowd, he spoke:
"Lord Mo has bid two Azure King Limitless Swords and one Imperial Soul-Scourge Spear. Is there anyone willing to offer more?"
Mo Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't expected the auctioneer to try and incite further bids. His gaze shifted toward a familiar figure in the crowd, and a faint, disdainful smile curled at the corners of his lips.
Without a word, he released his oppressive aura. Though his strength was only at the level of a five-star Dou Huang, the sheer intensity of his presence rivaled that of peak Dou Huangs. Coupled with the rumors of his Black Gold Thunder Orb that could kill a seven-star Dou Zun, the atmosphere grew heavy with tension.
Many experts instinctively shuddered under Mo Yu's silver-eyed gaze, and the thought of competing against him quickly vanished.
"Since Lord Mo has taken a liking to this item, it seems only right for him to have it."
"Indeed! At such a young age, Lord Mo has already claimed the top spot on the Black List and leads the mighty Yuan Manor. His future is boundless. Competing against him would be foolish."
"Exactly, exactly..."
Faced with Mo Yu's overwhelming aura, the VIP guests could only offer polite agreement. Though they, too, coveted the magical beast corpse, none dared to offend the Black-Corner Region's new overlord.
"Thank you, everyone," Mo Yu said with a faint smile, clasping his hands politely.
Seeing that no one dared to bid higher, Mo Yu's expression remained calm as his gaze turned to the auction stage.
The white-haired auctioneer, now drenched in cold sweat, dared not challenge Mo Yu further. Though the rules of the auction had been bent, questioning Mo Yu was out of the question.
At that moment, a golden-robed figure suddenly appeared on the stage. It was none other than Mo Tianxing, the leader of the Black Emperor Sect.
Mo Tianxing had been the one instructing the white-haired auctioneer to push for a higher price, but now that Mo Yu's dominance had cleared the field of competitors, his schemes had backfired.
Still, he forced a dry chuckle and announced, "The corpse of this magical beast is hereby sold to Lord Mo for two Azure King Limitless Swords and one Imperial Soul-Scourge Spear."
Although the auction continued with the sale of numerous other treasures, none managed to capture Mo Yu's interest.
He had originally hoped to obtain the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, but its absence left him wondering if his rebirth had altered the timeline. Ultimately, the item was not crucial to him, so its absence did not bother him too much.
As the auction concluded, a festive atmosphere enveloped Black Emperor City. Under the Black Emperor Sect's grand celebrations, the entire city basked in joy and revelry.
The day after the auction, Mo Yu, accompanied by Xiao Yixian, departed for the Black Emperor Sect's headquarters, ready for the next stage of their journey.
When Mo Yu and his two companions arrived at the Black Emperor Sect, Mo Tianxing extended his warmest welcome. He personally escorted them into the sect, offering them the highest level of hospitality.
After some brief pleasantries, Mo Tianxing seemed to notice Mo Yu's impatience. Without further delay, he clapped his hands, signaling for the items Mo Yu had won at the auction, including the massive magical beast corpse, to be brought out one by one.
"Lord Mo, all the items you acquired are here. Feel free to inspect them personally," Mo Tianxing said with a smile, gesturing toward the enormous magical beast corpse that occupied most of the grand hall.
Mo Yu nodded slightly and meticulously examined each item, paying particular attention to the magical beast corpse. He spent a significant amount of time ensuring everything was in order.
After a thorough inspection revealed no issues, Mo Yu retrieved the gold coins and weapons from his beast ring and placed them gently on the table, completing the transaction.
Mo Tianxing attempted to foster a closer relationship, but Mo Yu declined outright. Having secured the item he had long desired, Mo Yu wasted no time and departed with Xiao Yixian, heading back to Mo City.
One day later, in the Yuan Manor's secret chamber.
Mo Yu sat cross-legged in the dimly lit room. With a wave of his hand, a massive object appeared, taking up most of the chamber. The dark figure exuded an eerie energy, its crystalline bone wings radiating a peculiar and mysterious aura.
This object was, of course, the magical beast corpse Mo Yu had just obtained!
Gazing at the corpse, Mo Yu smiled faintly and approached it slowly. His eyes swept over the skeletal remains, scrutinizing every detail.
Although the corpse's flesh had shriveled and tightened over the years, making it impossible for the Black-Corner Region's experts to identify its origins, Mo Yu, armed with memories of the original storyline, recognized it immediately.
This was the corpse of a Heavenly Demon Phoenix, one of the three great magical beast clans!
Mo Yu couldn't help but marvel.
The three great magical beast clans, especially the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Ancient Void Dragon clans, were fiercely protective of their kin, even in death. Fallen members were invariably reclaimed by their clans.
That Mo Tianxing had managed to acquire such a corpse was a testament to the Black Emperor Sect's unparalleled connections. It was a feat beyond the Yuan Manor's reach, given its limited foundation.
Shaking his head to dispel these thoughts, Mo Yu refocused on the task at hand. With the item now in his possession, it was time to execute his plan.
What intrigued him most were the crystalline bone wings of the corpse. He planned to use them to refine a pair of extraordinarily powerful Sky Swallow Nine Wings.
Mo Yu moved to the massive, translucent wings, crouched down, and gently ran his hand over their surface.
The wings felt cool to the touch, yet there was a faint warmth emanating from them, even after all these years.
"As expected of a Heavenly Demon Phoenix," Mo Yu murmured, sensing the residual warmth in the ancient remains.
The wings were slightly transparent, allowing Mo Yu to see the energy coursing through them, like small eddies of light flowing within.
Seeing this, Mo Yu's lips curved into a satisfied smile.
While using this Heavenly Demon Phoenix corpse would undoubtedly draw the ire of its clan, Mo Yu dismissed the thought. He had already dared to cross the Hun Clan by nearly killing its young master. Offending the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan was just another risk.
"What's one more enemy?" Mo Yu chuckled to himself, resolving to move forward.
However, rather than refining the bone wings immediately, Mo Yu retrieved an Azure King Limitless Sword from his beast ring.
The Azure King Limitless Sword and the Imperial Soul-Scourge Spear represented the pinnacle of Yuan Manor's weapon refining. Despite having exchanged three such weapons at the Black Emperor Sect auction, Mo Yu still had several in reserve.
Lightning crackled around the sword as Mo Yu raised it. With a flash of silver light, the corpse's ten claw-like talons were sliced cleanly off, falling to the ground with a dull thud.
Mo Yu flicked his fingers, conjuring a wisp of fiery crimson thunder that enveloped one of the talons.
As the thunder refined the talon, it did not disintegrate instantly but gradually shrank. The talon's pale white color faded, replaced by a vibrant blend of blue and red.
At the sharp tip of the talon, a chilling gleam emerged, radiating a deadly aura that could even make a Dou Zong expert shiver.
"Amazing material for crafting weapons," Mo Yu remarked with a faint smile.
After about ten minutes of refining, the talon had been reduced to a finger-length spike, its fiery blue-red hue pulsating with a blend of wind and flame energy.
Mo Yu repeated the process with the remaining nine talons, eventually producing ten deadly blue-red spikes.
The spikes exuded a lethal presence, their sharp tips capable of injuring even a Dou Zun. After all, this corpse had once belonged to a near-eighth-grade magical beast.
Satisfied, Mo Yu carefully stored the ten spikes for future use. His gaze then shifted to a patch of pale flesh on the corpse, his eyes lighting up.
"This... could be another treasure."
