Chapter 1425: 1324, Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse Auction

At last, about two hours into the auction, the previous 9 items had all been sold, and the auction progressed to its grand finale–the auction of the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse!

The Public Chat Area was in an uproar:

“Finally, it’s over! The Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse auction is about to begin!”

“The third to the ninth auction items were so boring. The first two were so spectacular, and the rest were like this?”

“Yeah, I was expecting other Stellar Grade Existences to participate.”

“Speaker Lemo didn’t show up at all? That’s a bit inconceivable.”

“But no matter what, the auction for the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse is finally starting!”

“Looking forward to it!”

“I’ve been looking forward to this for a week!”

…

All participants in the Public Chat Area perked up, finally about to witness the legendary Planetary Grade Dragon Corpse!

Inside the live streaming room, Lord Retedoz was also brimming with vitality.

He was very satisfied with the prices fetched by the previous 7 items; after all, the auction had too many viewers, and the more viewers there were, the higher the prices went.

After a rough calculation, he had indeed made quite a profit!

And that’s not including the 5% revenue from The Core of Foreboding–what he made could truly be called a windfall, even more than he had earned in the past year!

But the closer it got to this moment, the more he needed to be on alert.

The only reason he was able to earn so much was thanks to the Corps Commander’s help.

If it weren’t for the Corps Commander hyping up an alt account, how would he have gotten this chance?

So next, he had to sell the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse properly, striving to hammer down a high price! That’s the only way he wouldn’t let down the Corps Commander’s expectations.

“Ladies and gentlemen in the live-stream, we now come to the last item of the auction–the much-anticipated fourth-order Planetary Grade Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse! Are you ready?”

“We’re ready!”

“We’re ready!”

“Stop dawdling!”

The discussion in the Public Chat Area exploded again.

After such a long wait, the time had finally come!

Someone else in the Public Chat Area asked, “Where did you put the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse? You can’t hide it behind the screen too, can you?”

“It definitely won’t fit behind the screen, right?”

During the previous part of the auction, each time Lord Retedoz sold an item, he took down a screen, and the next item was revealed behind it.

But he couldn’t possibly use the same tactic again. How could the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse be hidden by a mere screen?

Lord Retedoz seemed to notice the question in the chat area.

He answered with a smile, “Of course, the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse cannot be hidden behind the screen, everyone, look here.”

Lord Retedoz raised his right hand towards the camera.

On his thick, stone-like fingers shone a ring with a faint silver light.

Anyone who knew their stuff would realize at a glance that this was a high-quality Space Ring.

“A Space Ring?”

“Has Lord Retedoz always worn it? How did I not notice before?”

“Does this mean the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse is in the ring?”

But before everyone could finish discussing, Lord Retedoz activated the ring.

A flash of silver light, and a golden orb-like crystal appeared in his hand.

“There’s no need for too much speculation. The Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse is not inside this Space Ring,” Lord Retedoz explained, “To prevent any accidents during the auction, I’ve hidden the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse elsewhere, and this golden crystal is the key.”

Lord Retedoz wouldn’t dare to carelessly carry the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse on him; he knew many Stellar Grade Existences were watching this auction.

If a Stellar Level entity came to forcefully seize it, how could he explain it to the Legion Commander?

So he used a high-quality Space Ring as a diversion, actually placing the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse elsewhere.

The Space Ring contained the key to the true location of the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse.

But now, it was time to retrieve the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse!

…

As Retedoz loosened his grip, the golden crystal fell straight to the ground.

Before the audience in the live broadcast could react, the golden hall he was in began to rotate!

Immediately afterward, the floor of the hall contracted towards the sides with the rotation, revealing a massive pitch-black hole below!

The hole was over 400 meters in diameter and so deep that the bottom was not visible.

Retedoz slowly flew down towards it.

He flew almost a hundred meters before reaching the lowest point of the hole.

He pressed his hand on the ground, opening a secret compartment containing another high-quality Space Ring.

At the same time, Retedoz’s assistants turned on the lights embedded in the walls of the hole.

In an instant, the entire hole was illuminated by white light, with most of the light focused on the central area, right beneath Retedoz’s feet.

“The Dark Thunder Dragon Corpses are inside this Space Ring,” Retedoz held the Space Ring high towards the camera: “Now, it’s time to make their appearance!”

Taking a deep breath, he solemnly opened the Space Ring and began taking out the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse, the entire process significantly ritualistic.

The audience in the live broadcast held their breath as well.

For a moment, the major cities of the Hub were extraordinarily quiet, as if it were their regular resting time each day.

Of course, the discussion in the Public Chat Area did not stop:

“The solemnity of the ritual! You would think Lord Retedoz is revealing the body of a fallen comrade.”

“Based on the typical plot of films and shows, right now, when Lord Retedoz is about to reveal the corpse, he will surely be shocked to find that it has vanished!”

“Um, that’s not impossible.”

Even Cat Morning Star nervously asked Su Yu: “Nemesis, could it be that Lord Retedoz will suddenly discover the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse hidden in the ring has disappeared?”

“Although, but, this isn’t our problem,” shrugged Su Yu: “We handed over the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse to Retedoz long ago; if it’s lost, that’s his own issue.”

“But it feels like such a scenario could really happen!” Morning Star watched the virtual screen without blinking.

…

But the scenario everyone anticipated did not occur.

Retedoz successfully retrieved the two halves of Darak’s corpse from the Space Ring, the dark and massive Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse appearing within the hole.

Under the glare of numerous white lights, the Dark Thunder Dragon’s skin still absorbed all light, presenting an utterly black void-like appearance.

Darak’s corpse was split in two from head to tail, the cut extremely smooth and flat, with various organs in the head and abdomen clearly visible.

Now these organs were still very fresh, with time nearly stopped inside the Space Ring; the dragon seemed as if it had just recently died.

Of course, what shocked people the most was its massive size.

With a wingspan of 230 meters, no one had ever seen such an enormous dragon before!

So much so that suddenly, massive exclamations of awe erupted in the major cities of the Hub:

“Wow, this is truly shocking!”

“Just seeing this, I feel today was not in vain.”

“Such a huge size! The dragons I’ve seen before can’t even be considered ‘huge’ compared to this.”

“Finally got to see it, it’s really a treat for the eyes!”

“What kind of might was able to split it in two?”

“The entity that was able to kill it is truly frightening!”

“How spectacular!”
