Eternal Thief

504 Limit Talisman

Demon King Mist was sitting gracefully while coldly watching the bid for Upper Earth Soul Skill, Grim Hands.

On her left sat a young, handsome demon with a prideful expression on his face. While on her right were veiled demoness with a cold visage and graceful body.

"Mother, I want that skill." The young demon on her left side requested. He was the fourth Mist Prince of Mist Domain who was going to participate in the Demon Gate Trail.

On the right side was the fifth and youngest Mist Princess.

Mist Demon King nodded slightly and commanded, "But you have to share it with your sister."

Fourth Mist Prince quickly agreed since he knew his mother would put this kind of condition from the start.

When it comes to her children, she wasn't biased toward anyone; she loved them equally.

Fifth Princess, on the other hand, had an icy demeanor like her mother. She didn't speak much, but a peculiar glint flashed past her watery eyes when she heard the Mist Demon King.

Mist Demon King suddenly tapped on the chair handle as Qi shimmered on her fingertip.

Lilly announced with a hint of ecstasy, "Room No.6 has just bid a hundred million Qi stones. Let's start the counting!"

Inside Room No.5, Blade Demon King sat with Peter and his fiancé Brenna.

Blade Demon King, couldn't help but smirk. "It's time to pay back." And tap on his chair handle.

Peter couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard Blade Demon King mumbling.

Lilly has just counted two when another bid surfaced, and she smiled, "Room No.5 has put a new bid of 110 million!"

The mist around Mist Demon King's trembled slightly when she saw room no.5.

The fourth prince couldn't help but exclaimed, "Mother, weren't you guys become friends after…"

However, a chill run down his spine when he felt Mist Demon King's cold eyes, and he quickly shut up and didn't dare to utter another word.

Fifth Princess scoffed inwardly, 'Big Twit!'

Demon King Mist coldly tapped her finger two times.

Lilly's eyes shone with elation when she saw a new bid. She knew who was in these rooms, and she knew it was just the start of a bidding war between two enemies.

She again announced, "Room No.6 has put a bid of 150 million!"

Blade Demon King smirked and continued.

The entire arena was silent as they watched the bid reach 300 million.

Inside room No.3,

Exalted Demon King was sipping on his wine with five young demons sitting behind him.

He smiled and tapped on his chair handle. "Don't forget about me, folks." He was also a soul cultivator, and this skill was helpful for his children.

Lilly announced, "Room No.3 just increased the bid to 400 Million!"

This was the highest bid of the auction.

Blade Demon King chuckled, "He can have it." He was just messing with Mist Demon King. He had no use for this soul skill.

Mist's Demon King's finger also stopped when she saw the Exalted Demon King get involved all of a sudden.

"Mom, it's not worth this many Qi stones." The Fifth Princess mildly uttered.

Mist Demon King nodded and didn't bid anymore.

Exalted Demon King smiled in satisfaction when he saw no raise the bid.

Those young demons also chuckled disdainfully.

"400 Million going twice…" Lilly was already content with this price and was about to close the deal when a new bid appeared, startling everyone.

Lilly's eyes slightly narrowed, but she still announced, "Room.19-3 just bid 500 million!"

Everyone was bewildered since there wasn't any room below the 20th level.

However, those attendants quickly told them it was the room that belonged to a Life Master.

Everyone Life Master had their own personal room on every level they were in charge of, while the Life Grandmasters' rooms were on the 20th level.

Exalted Demon King frown slightly, 'A Life Grandmaster, huh? Let me see how badly you want this skill.'

He increased the bid by fifty million.

However, the Life Master in Room 19-3 raised it directly by 150 million, which made the final bid 700 million.

Exalted Demon King sneered coldly, but didn't bid anymore.

Lilly counted, "… 700 million going trice and sold! On to the next item!"

She didn't dwell on this bid much, since they all knew Life Masters were part of this auction and they can compete with anyone because of their status.

Ace chuckled when he saw the golden ticket generate by the formation and put it away. As a Life Master, he can pay at the end of the auction.

He didn't have many attacking soul skills in his arsenal, and this skill introduction intrigued him. He wanted to see if he could make a new skill out of this one and some other skills he had collected.

After the Grim Hands soul skill, the next items were rather ordinary in comparison. But in the eyes of VIPs and Open stands, these items were luxurious as they bid desperately to win them.

There were still some items that interested some VVIPs, but the Demon Kings didn't bother with them.

Hours passed like this, and now it was time for the last item before the second day would be over.

Lilly put on a charming smile before she revealed the last item of the day.

A gray, decrepit talisman appeared in a jade box.

She introduced, "This a Limit Talisman unearthed from a ruin. Most of the guests here did not know what a Limit Talisman is. Let me make it clear, a Limit Talisman isn't like our traditional Instant Talisman that can only be used one time.

"A Limit Talisman had multiple uses and it won't exhaust with a single use. We have long-lost the method to make Limit Talismans. Nevertheless, someone still wanted to sell this precious talisman.

"As for its function, this is a defensive barrier type talisman that can block soul or martial attacks below Soul Manifestation Realm, and its grade is high-grade-5, and there are still three uses left.

"But there is another function of this talisman, 'Limit Break'. With this Limit Break, we can use this limit talisman's three used all at once, and the barrier formed by these three used can even block a full strike from a soul manifestation realm cultivator!"

The entire arena was startled by this revelation, and some demon's eyes turned bloodshot as they looked at the old talisman.

Even those Demon Kings were now looking at the old talisman with solemn eyes. The talisman that can block a strike from a soul manifestation realm expert was just too rare in eight provinces.

Lilly smiled and announced, "The seller wanted Low-Grade-3 Qi stones for this Limit Talisman, and the price is 10,000 Qi stones, and every bid has to be increased by 100 Qi stones. The bid is open!"

Those in the open stand howled in regret when they heard Low-Grade-3 Qi stones, while many VIPs cursed this seller for being unreasonable.

Because Grade-3 Qi stones were the most precious Qi stones in the eight provinces and only king domains had them. No one was willing to trade these Qi stones, no matter the price.

Now, 85% populace has become ineligible to take part in this bid for this ancient talisman.

Nevertheless, those who can bid quickly started to put their bids while the others helplessly watched.

Ace also looked at those decrepit symbols of the talisman with great interest. 'Block an attack from a soul manifestation realm, huh? It also has research value. Even those Runic Life Grandmasters are bidding. Let's join in the fun.'

Ace smiled deviously and put on his bid, which almost made those slow bidders almost cough blood.

Lilly couldn't help but be astonished and announced, "Room.19-3 just bid 1 million Qi stones!"

"What a rich bastard!" A Life Master on the same floor couldn't help but exclaim and doubt if they had the same rank.

Although one million low-grade-3 Qi stones were still possible for them, spending it still made them feel the pinch.

"Who is in that room?" A runic life grandmaster on the 20th level with cold brown eyes wandered.

While the other six Life Grandmasters also had the same question.

The eight Life Grandmaster titles were divided between three soul alchemists, one runic crafter smith, and four rune crafters.

Since Gatlin was out of commission, only seven were present in this auction, and they were all in charge of the 20th level.

That ancient talisman has great research value, so these four Life Grandmasters and the Runic Crafter Smith naturally wanted it for themselves. But now, a junior was making things worse by raising the price by a million altogether.

Another Runic Grandmaster from Spear Province raised the bid by ten thousand and hoped this guy back down.

However, to his dismay, Ace raised the bid to two million without any hesitation.

They quickly took out their communication cube and ordered to look for the Life Master who was bidding against them, while they bid again by a small amount.

However, every time they raise the bid by a little, Ace would increase by a million!
