Chapter 91: Terrifying Auction Item
"Mu Lao, is the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' really that powerful? Can it even devour a Soul Master's Martial Soul and Soul Rings?"
Hearing Mu Lao's words, Xuan Lao was deeply shocked, his eyes widening as he tried to calm his excited emotions. He quickly asked Mu Lao, who was beside him.
The 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' concerned the safety of the entire Douluo Continent, which made it impossible for him to stay calm, and his heart was filled with anxiety and unease.
"If the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' is truly like what the Star Auction Pavilion described, then theoretically, it can indeed devour all the Soul Power in a Soul Master and Soul Beast's body," Mu Lao said, revealing a shocking fact. His voice carried a hint of heaviness and helplessness.
"This...?"
"How could this be? Does such a terrifying meditation technique really exist?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Lao could no longer maintain his calm, and his eyes were fixed on the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' on the auction stage, which was releasing black mist. His gaze was filled with disbelief and fear, and his mind couldn't settle.
Suddenly, he stood up, his gaze fixed on Jiang Li, and he said sternly, "I don't know why your Star Auction Pavilion would present such an evil object as the final item for the auction. If this item can devour anything with Soul Power, wouldn't that cause the entire Douluo Continent to descend into chaos if an Evil Soul Master were to obtain it?"
"After all, according to your introduction, this 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique,' once cultivated to a certain level, could devour a person's Martial Soul, Soul Ring, and even the life of Soul Beasts and Soul Masters?"
"Would your Star Auction Pavilion really want to see such a scene unfold?"
Xuan Lao was overwhelmed with anger, his mind clouded. He knew how many people from Shrek Academy had fallen victim to Evil Soul Masters.
The brutal images often flashed through his mind.
In his eyes, such a domineering technique could only belong to an evil force. He never expected the Star Auction Pavilion to openly auction it off. This left him feeling immensely angry and disappointed.
Would this not plunge Douluo Continent into chaos once again?
As Xuan Lao spoke, the many Soul Masters who had been lost in thought suddenly became stirred up, and the entire hall erupted into a flurry of discussion.
Indeed, the more one thought about it, the more terrifying the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' seemed.
Martial Souls, Soul Rings, and even a person's body all contained Soul Power. If an Evil Soul Master were to exploit this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' could devour everything with Soul Power, and the resulting scene was beyond anyone's imagination. It would be an unprecedented catastrophe.
Of course, among all the people present, only Zhong Li Wu from the Holy Spirit Sect showed a look of excitement. His eyes greedily fixed on the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' on the auction table.
Earlier, the tremors in his Martial Soul and Soul Power were indeed no coincidence. Everything was exactly as he had suspected.
The 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' was perfectly suited for their Holy Spirit Sect. It was practically a treasure custom-made for them.
Devouring everything with Soul Power — even Zhong Li Wu could hardly imagine the extent to which the Holy Spirit Sect would grow once they cultivated the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique.'
Perhaps after cultivating this technique, his 98-level peak Title Douluo Soul Power would finally be able to break through into the Extreme Douluo realm, a realm he had longed for intensely.
As he thought of this, his eyes gleamed with greed and desire.
"Boom!"
Jiang Li activated his invincible domain, and an overwhelming aura suddenly descended on everyone like a surging wave. The very air in the auction hall seemed to freeze, making it hard for anyone to breathe.
At the same time, a force directly acted on Xuan Lao's shoulder. Xuan Lao could feel an irresistible great force press against him.
It felt as if invisible hands were pressing him into his seat, rendering him immobile.
"Hmph, the Star Auction Pavilion operates as it sees fit. There is no need for your commentary. If you consider yourselves righteous, you should simply bid on this technique and seal it away forever," Jiang Li said coldly.
"Don't forget, we at the Star Auction Pavilion are in the business of trade. And if, as you claim, this 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' can be cultivated to a profound level, then it is only logical."
"However, rest assured, once this 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' reaches its peak, perhaps it will indeed cause the scenarios you fear."
"But remember, the way of Heaven follows the law of cause and effect, and everything has its price. If one recklessly devours everything, they will eventually pay the price."
Jiang Li stood with his hands behind his back, his face serious as he surveyed the crowd. His eyes revealed an undeniable authority, as if proclaiming his power to everyone.
He had anticipated this kind of scene but was fully aware that the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' was indeed extremely powerful.
However, if used appropriately, it could rapidly enhance strength and make one a top-tier powerhouse on Douluo Continent.
If one carelessly devoured too much or consumed things they shouldn't, though, the power would grow faster, but the consequences could include becoming obsessed or facing some form of karmic retribution.
The final price for this recklessness would lead to a tragic end.
"Such immense strength."
"Too terrifying, at least on the level of an Extreme Douluo."
At this moment, all the top-tier powerhouses in the Star Auction Pavilion, particularly Mu Lao, Xuan Lao, and the Du Busi from the Body Sect, all felt amazed inside.
They could clearly feel the intensity of the pressure, surpassing even that of an Extreme Douluo. This immense power filled them with awe.
An idea involuntarily formed in everyone's minds: could this person actually be a true God-level powerhouse?
On Douluo Continent, there were very few people with such overwhelming power, and beyond the legendary gods, they couldn't think of anyone else with such might.
Everyone remained silent, deep in thought, astonished by what they had just witnessed.
Truly, the Star Auction Pavilion was exceptional, with such profound depth, a powerful auctioneer, and such mysterious and powerful auction items.
For Xuan Lao, the situation was even more shocking. In his anger, he had openly opposed the Star Auction Pavilion.
Especially after feeling the immense power Jiang Li exerted on him, he realized he could not even entertain the thought of resistance.
It felt as though any wrong move would lead to a fatal outcome.
This moment had fully opened his eyes to the Star Auction Pavilion's strength. He dared not act recklessly within the Pavilion's territory anymore, his heart filled with respect and fear.
This small incident passed.
The atmosphere in the auction hall remained tense and oppressive as everyone's gaze refocused on the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique,' emanating a mysterious and dangerous aura.
