The Fallen God’s Child stood there with unbridled arrogance, a smirk on his face, his domineering and conceited demeanor utterly unconcealed as he pressed the others.
“Enjoy your arrogance while you can. Soon, I’ll be the one cutting you down!” The Divine Striking Stone howled in fury.
“Silence!”
At that moment, an elder from the auction house spoke, unleashing the Savage Bull’s Roar divine ability, shaking the entire hall with a thunderous rumble. Clearly, he was a formidable expert.
The crowd around them fell deathly silent, feeling insignificant in the face of both the Fallen God’s Child’s oppressive aura and the elder’s roar.
In the end, no one dared to compete with the Fallen God’s Child for the bone diagram. He secured it with a bid only slightly above the base price.
Most believed that locating the region near the Ancient Divine Tree was impossible—otherwise, the natives would have already claimed it.
Even those tempted to bid withdrew upon seeing the ancient freak, the Fallen God’s Child, step in. Who would dare challenge him? It would be suicide.
Such a figure, whose cultivation eclipsed all others of his generation, was virtually unmatched in the world. Even someone as formidable as Shi Hao had now drawn his attention, with the Fallen God’s Child openly declaring his intent to kill him. Naturally, people were terrified and avoided provoking him.
Next, several semi-divine fruits were auctioned. Shi Hao decisively made his move—he needed these for his imminent breakthrough, requiring vast amounts of sacred medicine.
Surprisingly, the Fallen God’s Child intervened, intimidating others into backing off. Once they withdrew, he ceased bidding.
At first, the little rabbit was delighted, laughing foolishly and mocking the Fallen God’s Child for being an idiot. But she soon realized his true intent—he saw them as mere servants, believing everything they possessed would soon be his.
“Disgusting!” The little rabbit screeched, her eyes burning red with fury.
“Stay calm. There’s no need for anger—everything will be revealed soon,” Qing Yi consoled, though even her serene demeanor carried a trace of anger.
The auction house staff glared at the Fallen God’s Child. Had he not spent extravagantly on the bone diagram, they would have expelled him.
Fortunately, he refrained from further interference.
Finally, the auction for the secret map of the Immortal’s Abode began. Some were ecstatic, while others remained indifferent, forming two distinct factions.
On the stage, the elder gestured, and a beautiful maiden unveiled a stone carving emitting wisps of mystical mist, its markings faint and indistinct.
“I’m sure many wonder why we don’t seek the Immortal’s Abode ourselves,” the elder said, his deep eyes scanning the crowd.
“Some may guess—we are confined to certain regions. Why? I won’t elaborate.”
Many pondered this. It was known that the natives rarely ventured beyond their territories.
Neither the Ancient Divine Tree nor the Immortal’s Abode lay within their reach.
The elder admitted that despite attempts, they had only once harvested a dozen divine fruits. The Immortal’s Abode remained inaccessible.
“The Ten Crown King’s legendary sapling likely came from outside that abode,” the elder revealed, sending shockwaves through the crowd.
If just the entrance held such treasures, what lay inside?
The elder explained that even their strongest had failed to enter.
“Fate isn’t just about strength—it’s also about destiny,” he mused before displaying the stone map.
The crowd strained to see, but the image remained blurred, sealed by powerful magic.
Shi Hao activated his Heavenly Eye but still couldn’t penetrate the barrier.
“The Immortal’s Abode may hold the greatest treasure of the Immortal Ancient Era,” the elder declared, stoking desire.
The starting bid? Two divine medicines.
The crowd was stunned—only legends like the Ten Crown King or Ning Chuan possessed such treasures.
Shi Hao shook his head; it was beyond his means. The Fallen God’s Child also remained silent.
With no bids, the map went unsold.
“Next time, the price will double,” the elder said, smiling.
The crowd nearly cursed—such a demand was outrageous.
Since the map failed, the auction introduced two new treasures:
A jade jar of Life Spring, resisting decay and enhancing vitality, and a Resurrection Herb, capable of reviving even those on the brink of death.
For Shi Hao, these were priceless—equivalent to extra lives.
The bidding condition? A single willow branch—from the previous era.
The crowd despaired. Who could produce such a relic?
Shi Hao realized the auction house was linked to the elders trailing him.
After negotiations, he agreed to exchange the branch, securing the treasures.
The Fallen God’s Child smirked. “With these, my path is clear. I’ll crush you soon.”
“Try it!” the little rabbit snapped.
Shi Hao rose. “Pick your grave. Unless you’re not human—then a cauldron will suffice to stew you.”
The Fallen God’s Child laughed coldly. “Your predecessors begged to fight me too. I crushed them underfoot. You’re next.”
The auction house fell silent. The tension was suffocating.
“Let’s go kill you,” Shi Hao said, walking out.
The Divine Striking Stone raged. “No more patience—time to slaughter!”
The little rabbit cheered. “Shi Hao, you must defeat him!”
Cao Yusheng and Qing Yi followed, their emotions turbulent.
The Fallen God’s Child trailed behind. “Let’s see if you’ve improved.”
The entire Burial City erupted.
All knew—the Fallen God’s Child had come for Shi Hao.
The battlefield? An ancient, blood-soaked wasteland, shrouded in mist.
The two clashed instantly, their collision splitting the earth.
“You’re stronger than your seniors—but still far beneath me,” the Fallen God’s Child taunted, a strand of immortal energy coiling around him.
He raised a hand, aiming to crush Shi Hao effortlessly.
But Shi Hao moved faster—his kick deflected the strike and slammed into the Fallen God’s Child’s face, sending him flying with blood at his lips.
The crowd gasped.
The battle had only just begun.
