Chapter 397: Chapter 292: True Meaning Immortal Fruit, Activating the Blood Demon Curse

As the top-tier auction held every decade by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the total number of auction items was two hundred, including 180 regular items, 20 high-quality items, and 5 grand finales.

Among the regular items, Su Yu and Qingchan placed bids seven times successively and finally acquired three items.

A few hours later, after all the regular items were auctioned off, the sound of a bell resonated in the venue again following a brief incense-burning break, and the auctioneer’s clear voice echoed beside everyone’s ears:

"Next up is the auction of high-quality items. The first item is a Tier Ten Treasure - the Huangsha Map."

A pillar of light descended, suspending a scroll composed of countless golden fine sands, constantly aggregating and transforming, upon which Su Yu fixed his gaze, its attributes revealing themselves.

Huangsha Map (Tier Ten): A divine treasure, forming a world of yellow sands. It contains heavens and earth, capable of division and unity, collection and dispersion, able to suppress all things.

Huangsha Domain: Encompasses a space with a diameter of 1000 kilometers; the domain master can control the elemental forces of earth, fire, wind, and water within.

Desert of Ten Thousand Li: Can manipulate countless sands to strike enemies, with each sand star’s power being 100,000 + 50% spell damage, effective range of 50 kilometers, and Mana consumption of 300 points.

Great Array of Ten Thousand Li Desert: Mobilizes 10,800 sand stars to form the great array of Ten Thousand Li Desert, with a cooldown of 30 days.

Artifact Spirit: This treasure harbors a nascent Artifact Spirit, which, upon maturing and manifesting in the world, could elevate the item to an immortal treasure.

"What a marvelous item!"

It surpassed even the Myriad Star Doumu Cauldron in Su Yu’s hands, with not much difference in attributes but adding a Huangsha Domain of 1000 kilometers.

With the essence contained in this domain, this Huangsha Map has the potential to ascend to the status of an immortal treasure.

Unfortunately, Su Yu already possessed the Sea-Suppressing Pearl and could not afford the effort to cultivate another domain.

And it was impossible to further develop this Huangsha Domain, for he couldn’t possibly find a second innate being to serve as the domain’s Artifact Spirit.

Thus, to him, it seemed rather redundant.

But while it was redundant for him, for others, this treasure was of immense value. When the auctioneer announced the starting bid:

"The starting price for this treasure is 5 million gold, with each increase no less than 10,000 gold. The auction begins now!"

Within the next second, a swarm of bids came in, even from the guests in the surrounding private boxes, and in less than a minute, the price soared to an astronomical 10 million gold.

After several rounds of tug-of-war, it finally reached a high price of 12.2 million gold and was sold.

The next item was a high-quality Tier Ten Golden Canopy Treasure, which sold for 7.5 million gold, significantly less than the previous item.

The third item was a Tier Ten Flying Sword.

Su Yu contemplated for a moment but ultimately decided not to purchase it.

He needed to save money because, before the second phase of the auction began, he received a list of auction items from the event, detailing all the remaining items, including the five grand finales, among which there were a few things Su Yu was particularly interested in, planning to reserve funds for their bidding.

After six consecutive auctions, when the event reached the seventh item, his eyes lit up.

"Finally, it has appeared."

True Intention Immortal Fruit (Slaughter) *10: An immortal fruit containing the Slaughter Law, enhancing or mastering the Slaughter Law upon absorption.

This item’s purpose was simple, allowing you to master the Slaughter Law in advance upon absorption.

Logically speaking, it would be of no use to Su Yu, as he mastered the Time Law.

However, in Su Yu’s mind, there was a ticking time bomb, the Blood God Curse cast upon him when he killed a true disciple of the Blood Demon Hall. This curse could awaken his inner desires, making him more irritable and craving blood and slaughter, enabling him to comprehend the Blood and Slaughter Laws through blood and slaughter.

This curse was extremely difficult to break, even Immortals not specializing in curse destruction found themselves helpless.

But more crucially, Su Yu dared not seek help from others in breaking it.

The curse was already entwined with his soul. To break it, he’d have to expose his soul starkly before someone else, akin to removing all defenses and leaving himself vulnerable to any malicious intent, allowing others to control him easily through his soul.

Therefore, he could only find a way to resolve it himself.

Over the years, he had gathered some knowledge on this subject and indeed found a method to resolve it thoroughly without future worries: actively mastering the Slaughter and Blood Laws to mature the Blood God Curse, then offering it as a sacrifice to the Time Law, upon which the curse could be dispelled.

The Blood God Curse was a double-edged sword; without control, one could fall eternally, yet if controlled, it could provide formidable power.

Under typical circumstances, mastering the Blood and Slaughter Laws through slaughter demanded killing billions of beings, inevitably becoming ensnared by endless slaughter.

However, by forcibly nurturing the curse through alternative means to master the two laws, bypassing the process of slaughtering billions of beings, one naturally wouldn’t be lost in slaughter and blood, instead utilizing these two curses to nourish oneself.

After all, regardless of what it is, whether raising one’s cultivation or practicing laws, the initial difficulty is not high.

Utilizing this to nourish the primary laws saves time and effort, achieving multiple benefits with one move.

The opening bid for the 10 True Intention Immortal Fruits (Slaughter) was set at 1 million. Su Yu waited half a minute as the number of bidders gradually decreased before making his own bid, securing them with a sudden bid of 3.1 million gold.

A dozen minutes later, the fourteenth auction item was an unknown wild beast egg.

The so-called archaic beasts refer to those powerful life forms that were born at the dawn of the world. For example, during the Ancient Primordial Era of the Earth Immortal realm, such beings had incredibly powerful bodies and could directly absorb the primitive Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. They were innately capable of mastering a law, and upon reaching adulthood, they were comparable to Immortals.

Even the weakest archaic beasts are comparable to Immortals, and if they are higher-grade archaic beasts, their strength can rival Profound Immortals or even Golden Immortals.

This mysterious beast egg comes from a certain secret realm, its grade unknown, but its life essence is extremely strong, and there is a possibility of hatching.

Su Yu thought that the Sea Suppressing Realm, filled with primitive Spiritual Qi, would be suitable for an archaic beast to survive, so he considered raising one to try.

The starting bid for this beast egg was 1 million, and there were more bidders than he imagined. After more than a minute of bidding, it was finally secured at a price of 4.2 million gold.

After purchasing this beast egg, a total of 7.84 million gold was spent, leaving 13.86 million gold, enough to acquire another Tier Ten Treasure, but Su Yu’s auction visit ended here.

There were still many good items left, but he wasn’t planning to bid anymore.

The others were either not very useful or too expensive to afford even if they were useful.

The five finale items, each requiring at least 30 million or more, were unthinkable.

Su Yu opened the panel, his gaze moving directly to the final five items.

A finished celestial fortress, with a starting bid of 50 million, and the final price was expected to double.

A gourd of Three Lights Divine Light, comprising three drops. The first holy remedy for healing in the world, capable of eliminating all poisons and healing all so-called incurable injuries, even restoring souls that had been obliterated. Even the notion of a Daluo Golden Immortal not being able to save someone doesn’t apply here; the effects are truly defying the heavens.

The starting bid was 30 million, but the actual final price was expected to be higher than that of the celestial fortress.

The heart of a demon saint, the heart of a demon saint, a holy treasure for body refining, which could potentially create an exceptionally powerful spiritual pet, with a starting bid of 60 million gold.

The Dao Source Crystal: Manifestation of the Dao Laws, refining it directly allows mastery of a law, potentially reaching the level of a Celestial Immortal, with a starting bid of 100 million gold.

Note, it’s only the mastery of the law that makes you comparable to an Immortal, it doesn’t directly make you an Immortal.

The Mother Furnace of Ten Thousand Moths (damaged immortal treasure): An ancient immortal treasure, the treasure of the ancient witch tribe for refining moths, capable of containing countless moths.

Attributes: Ten Thousand Moth Mother Qi, the furnace refines billions of poisonous moths and insects, condensing a strand of Ten Thousand Moth Mother Qi, capable of containing and suppressing countless moths, and releasing them to harm the enemy. Each strand of Ten Thousand Moth Mother Qi inflicts moth poison damage of 1 million + 100% mana damage on the enemy. The flesh and blood of the killed targets are refined into part of the Ten Thousand Moth Mother Qi, with a casting range of 100 kilometers and mana consumption of 10,000 points.

Tip: Activating the Mother Furnace, each strand of Ten Thousand Moth Mother Qi forms a layer of restriction defense with 1 million Defense, stackable indefinitely, immune to all poisons, expandable or shrinkable in size, with a maximum radius of 10,000 meters.

Attributes: The Mother Furnace of Ten Thousand Moths, using this furnace to refine moth insects increases their level by 50, with a certain chance to enhance the moths’ template, up to the legendary template.

Tip: Integrating the Ten Thousand Moth Mother Qi during moth refining greatly enhances the level and template of the moths, with specific improvements depending on the level and template of the moths.

Attributes: The Moth Realm, with its own space inside the furnace, capable of containing billions of poisonous moths and insects. The insects need no blood meal inside the furnace, and will quickly recover from injuries, and offering blood meal has a chance to raise the level of the poisonous moths inside the furnace.

This item has a starting bid of 100 million gold, with each increase not less than 1 million gold.

Su Yu could make use of each of these five finale items, all very useful, but he couldn’t afford them. Together with Qingchan, they still couldn’t afford it.

He only had 13.86 million gold left, and Qingchan had only 6 million gold in her hand.

The upcoming auction was no more than a spectacle for the two of them, as they watched many cultivators vie for these ultimate items and then gasped at the escalating prices.

"These powers with legacies of tens of thousands of years truly have too much wealth."

For Su Yu to reach such wealth, it would take at least several hundred years of accumulation.

If he could dominate the East Sea, a hundred years or so might suffice.

Yet that’s just surface accumulation; the foundation falls far short.

Half an hour after the auction concluded, the two got up and left, first going to conclude the auction and collect the auctioned formula and Celestial Fruit of True Intent.

Qingchan did not participate in the auction. As a direct descendant of the Zhongyuan Luo family, anything she needed would be prepared by her family; she had no urgent needs. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After leaving the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and returning to the cave dwelling, Su Yu first placed an order on the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s official website—a purchase of 10 Celestial Fruits of True Intent under the Blood Law at a price of 3 million taels of gold.

This auction cost him over 7 million gold, and his membership level had already upgraded, from Heavenly Yellow to Earth level, making him an absolute senior member with numerous privileges, including placing his own orders for acquisitions.

A week later, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion delivered ten Celestial Fruits of True Intent under the Blood Law.

With things in hand, he immediately chose to go into seclusion.

The Celestial Fruit of True Intent under the Blood Law appeared as a blood-red fruit, with numerous tiny law runes on its surface forming a flowing halo of laws.

Su Yu held the Celestial Fruit of True Intent in his hand, mentally communicating with it, and in an instant, an infinite sea of blood surged in, instantly engulfing his consciousness.

The Blood Law is a lower law, but often intertwined with the higher Slaughter Law.

Mastering the Blood Law allows control over the blood of living beings, tapping into the power of blood, which delves into deeper powers such as bloodlines.

Nonetheless, the Blood Law is merely a lower law with a low limit.

However, the Slaughter Law is formidable, a pure offensive higher law and an outstanding one among higher laws, greatly enhancing one’s power.
