*****

By the time the police arrived, Barth had already been battered until nearly all his teeth were knocked out, and most of the bones in his body were fractured.

Although he was well aware of the fate that awaited him after his arrest—that he would likely spend the next chunk of his years in prison—Barth wasn’t afraid at all of the cop's arrival. Instead, he became excited and relieved, treating the officers like his rescuers.

“Hurry up and arrest me, please!” he sobbed desperately, seein

  • Chapter 1660 – Mistress Ayra’s Revelation

    *****The people in the Upper Realm gradually abandoned all restraint.Billions of dollars were thrown into the auction as casually as though they were discussing thousands.Every time someone raised the price, another representative answered. The expressions behind the windows grew increasingly solemn, and the atmosphere became so tense that it seemed a single wrong word could ignite a war.Meanwhile, the people in the Lower Realm could only sit there and stare.Their minds struggled to process what they were witnessing.Billions.Actual billions.And these people were throwing the money around as though they were buying vegetables from a roadside market.One Lower Realm guest stared at the Upper Realm windows with his mouth slightly open.‘Do these people print money?’Another secretly swallowed.‘At this rate, I could sell everything I own and still not qualify to raise a card.’Yet the auction continued.Amid all of it, Xavier looked completely detached from the madness surroundin

  • Chapter 1659 – Billion-Dollars Bids

    *****No one had anticipated the auctioneer’s words.Discovering a teleportation portal connected to an ancient cultivation ruin was already extraordinarily difficult.Discovering one that led to a ruin at least a thousand years old was even more astonishing.But finding an ancient ruin whose spiritual formations had remained active for centuries pushed the discovery into an entirely different realm.The probability of stumbling upon such a place was almost nonexistent.And even if someone were fortunate enough to discover it, why would they announce it to others?Why would they tell people they trusted?And more importantly, why in the world would they put such a discovery up for auction?Anyone with half a brain would hide the information, investigate the ruin privately, and monopolize whatever treasures remained inside.Yet the Celestial Pearl was doing the exact opposite.“What’s the catch?”The casual question suddenly came from one of the Upper Realm chambers.Everyone recognize

  • Chapter 1658 – The Final Item II

    *****“What?!”“A private island?”The reaction was completely different from before.Some of them had initially assumed that the document itself contained some hidden secret or extraordinary opportunity. After all, why would the Celestial Pearl build so much anticipation around a simple piece of paper?But an ownership document for a private island?Inside one of the private chambers, an elderly A-rank fighter who had been reclining lazily on a throne-like chair finally sat forward.He had spent most of the auction looking like an emperor who had merely tolerated the existence of everyone else in the room.Now, however, his brows had drawn together.He slowly turned his gaze toward the man standing beside him.“Is this the so-called information?”His voice was too calm, so much so that the right-hand man beside him, an upper B-rank fighter, immediately felt his heart sink.“Our… our intelligence indicated that this opportunity was priceless,” he stammered.His back was already covere

  • Chapter 1657 – The Final Item

    *****“There is only one item remaining.”The auctioneer’s voice echoed throughout the hall once again, soft, calm, and devoid of emotion.Yet this time, something beneath that composure was different. There was a weight to her words that immediately caught the attention of everyone in the auction house.She paused for a moment before continuing.“This is also the reason many of the VIP guests traveled thousands of miles to board the Celestial Pearl.”The moment those words fell, the atmosphere changed.The cultivators in the Lower Realm exchanged puzzled looks. A few furrowed their brows, while others leaned toward the stage in confusion.Most of them had assumed the wealthy and powerful people from the Upper Realm had simply come for the auction's rare treasures. After all, the items sold tonight had already been extraordinary enough to justify an expensive journey.But if the auctioneer was saying there was a specific reason so many of those people had traveled such a long distance

  • Chapter 1656 – The Last Herb

    *****With each herb that was sold, the disappointment in Xavier’s eyes became more apparent.The herbs being presented were rare and valuable, but they were not what he needed. One after another, they slipped into the hands of other cultivators while Xavier could only watch from his seat.His patience gradually wore thin.Eventually, he leaned back and closed his eyes.‘Looks like I’ll have to find the last herb somewhere else.’The thought left him deeply dissatisfied.He had not come to the Celestial Pearl’s Grand Auction merely to spend money or collect treasures. His true purpose had been to obtain the herbs required to concoct the rejuvenation potion for his parents.The Everdusk Bloom had been one of the remaining ingredients.But the final herb was still missing.Just as Xavier was preparing to abandon hope of finding it at the auction, the auctioneer’s voice suddenly rang throughout the hall.“The next item is a two-hundred-year-old Blueheart Lotus.”Xavier’s breathing hitche

  • Chapter 1655 – Relief In The Auction House

    *****For a moment, the entire auction house fell so quiet that if someone who was completely deaf had walked through the doors right now, they might have assumed the massive hall was completely empty.Every cultivator and attendant froze.Even the A-rank powerhouses who had remained composed throughout the earlier chaos were momentarily stunned into silence.“I… I think my ears have started playing tricks on me,” a raspy voice finally emerged from somewhere in the crowd.Another person swallowed hard. “I… I couldn't have heard that correctly.”A third voice trembled with disbelief.“Did he… just raise the bid from $30 million to… $350 million?”The speaker sounded as though saying the number aloud might somehow make it less ridiculous.It didn't.“This is crazy!”The quiet disbelief rapidly transformed into an uproar.Voices erupted from every direction, overlapping one another until the auction house became deafening.The roar was so tremendous that the massive cruise ship itself se
