Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4641: Another One?

Davis’s sapphire eyes reflected the item.

It was a spindle made up of strange wood. He couldn’t even tell if it was wood. Its length was as long as one’s palm. However, it was broken and empty. It didn’t have any threads wound over it, yet it gave him a peculiar sensation of familiarity.

"Is this...?" Davis asked within his soul essence.

At that moment, everyone in the crowd was full of anticipation for the last item of the day. It was the main attraction, making them wonder just what it could be, but to see a broken spindle placed on the slab, they were momentarily taken aback, feeling disappointment before turning puzzled.

What could be so special about this broken spindle?

They all looked at the auction host, wondering when he would explain as he dragged out the silence.

If he had been any weaker, they would’ve cursed him by the time three seconds had passed.

Only at the tenth second did the dragon-kirin open his mouth, "Ladies and gentlemen. We have finally arrived at the end of the day. I couldn’t be any more glad to be able to preside over the sale of this item since it represents a mark for me. A mark that I wouldn’t be able to forget in my life, a mark that contains regret. Why, you ask? It’s because I lament that I am not wealthy enough to buy this treasure for myself."

"If I had the money, I definitely wouldn’t be showing you, as I would do my best to settle this transaction behind closed doors."

The dragon-kirin was emotional before he burst out, appearing all vexed as he glared at the people for being capable of buying it. He took a deep breath, appearing to calm himself down.

Davis sat back down, appearing speechless. He had never seen such a shameless yet eloquent dragon-kirin. But still, his gaze was on the spindle as he received the answer from his soul.

"Everyone, don’t be dumbfounded. This broken spindle here is a remnant of the past. We have invited numerous appraisers to check its authenticity, and they have all had different conclusions, so we couldn’t pinpoint its origins, but the majority have come to a consensus. It’s a broken artifact at the Peak-Level Empyrean Grade, yet its origins pinpoint to the apex!"

"..."

The majority of the supreme geniuses were still clueless, but the ones who had noticed the word ’apex’ all reeled in shock.

Without a stop, the dragon-kirin continued, "We suspect it’s a terrifying treasure belonging to the vast sea of Karma Laws. Its powers are unknown, and it couldn’t be used by us nor the seller, so the seller wanted to auction this item for the highest amount possible. If the reserve isn’t met, then they aren’t willing to sell. The auction will move on to the next day and will await further participants who have yet to make it here after hearing the news! Please start the bids."

"One High-Level Primarch Grade resource!" A melodious voice from Unit 15 echoed.

"...!?"

The people from the common seats instantly turned dumbfounded.

It must be known that there weren’t many treasures that reached the price point of a High-Level Primarch Grade resource, so for one buyer to instantly bid that kind of price, were they stupid, or did they know the significance behind the treasure!?

"Two!"

"Three!"

Before they could even comprehend what was happening, more VIP Units bid a higher amount.

They instantly knew this treasure wasn’t simple!

"Indeed..." Davis heaved a sigh as he slumped on the couch.

He knew those who knew its origins wouldn’t be willing to let go of it. If there was anything that was hindering their greed from directly breaking the rules and fighting for the treasure, then it must be none other than the fact that it was broken.

At this moment, Tia came by his side and sat beside him. She lay her head on his chest and looked at him with pitiful eyes.

"Please buy it for me."

Davis lowered his gaze to look at her, his attention quickly diverting to a delectable Tia who was asking to be eaten. His lips involuntarily curled.

"It seems like you realized what it is."

"I’m more surprised you stood in shock." Tia giggled, "Since you also realized, you must get it no matter what."

With that said, Tia turned to look towards the broken spindle, biting her lips as though it was a pity.

"If only it wasn’t broken... but it’s still extremely useful to me."

"It’s far more useful to me than you think." Davis caressed her head.

"Oh?" Tia turned to look at him, her gaze becoming renewed as though she was seeing a new side of his powers.

"What is it?"

At this moment, Shirley and Isabella also appeared by their side, standing behind the sofa as they asked curiously.

The ones behind were also curious, sensing that this treasure wasn’t simple.

"Five!"

"Six!"

While Davis was talking, the price had already gone up to six High-Level Primarch Grade resources. It was insane.

Shirley and the others didn’t realize the other powers had so much. Then they realized it must be those magical beast and spirit tribes from other galaxies that had chanced upon numerous treasures in the High-Level Shard Regions since they got here first.

These resourceful regions were closer to their entrance point than the Celestial Transcendent Galaxy’s.

Using this chance, Davis removed the questionable ring on his finger.

"A few days ago, I hunted down a spirit fey and managed to obtain the Temporal Voidplane Ring. It’s a treasure similar to the black-white stone that I use, and this broken spindle in front of us is not any different, perhaps even more powerful if it could be repaired."

’Primeval Law Treasures!’

At that moment, Shirley and Isabella connected his meaning to this term they had heard before.

As the major participants in Candidacy, they more or less came across some secrets, and Davis and Myria were also there to provide them with clues. Although they didn’t know a detailed answer, they knew the gist of it. They knew Primeval Law Treasures were the apex treasures in the universe.

No other treasure, whether naturally manifested or forged, could compare to them.

They didn’t know their names, but they knew there were ten, each signifying a Law Sea or multiple Law Seas. It was just like how the Paragon Magical Beasts represented certain Law Seas.

He gave the ring to Isabella and let her check as he guided her soul to the edge to let her see.

"Hsss~" Isabella sucked in a cold breath as she saw that time had stopped inside the ring.

"This ring..." She was no stranger to Space Laws. She could feel the spatial manipulation behind the ring, but she didn’t expect there to be Time Laws included in it.

Shirley also took a look with Davis’s help. While keeping its origins a secret, he informed them of its powers using soul transmission, further shocking them. They nearly jolted upright while standing.

Isabella and Shirley could tell that this was a replica of the apex treasure representing Space Laws and Time Laws.

After hearing everything, Shirley turned to look at Alinna.

"I didn’t hear anything... see anything..."

Alinna had long closed her ears, and when Shirley looked, she shut her eyes.
