At the corner of the stairs 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

A middle-aged man in flashy, trendy clothes stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall. His presence wasn’t low, but it didn’t increase the difficulty of the assassination because in the current world of the Spirit Realm, people like him weren’t uncommon.

On the contrary, dressing like an ordinary person and appearing in a place like this would make one look unusually conspicuous and easily seen as out of place at first glance.

The middle-aged man nonchalantly retrieved a dagger from his Storage Space and carefully checked its attributes, as well as the effect and timing of the poison coating.

’Preparations are complete, no problem.’

’If I could, I wouldn’t want to oppose such a person. The Celestial Ladder Rankings’ prodigy... truly terrifying, but the more of a prodigy they are, the less likely they would give up opportunities within their grasp, right?’

’The benefits of cooperation are still too low. It’s better to kill them directly and plunder their things. Not only that, but more importantly...’

’I enjoy the thrill of hunting prodigies.’

At this thought, a slightly maniacal yet excited smile gradually appeared on the man’s face. Although his actions were relatively extreme, as a Spiritualist, he remained quite cautious and careful.

First of all, he is a Tier Two Level 9 Hero Level Assassin targeting a Tier One genius, and given his planning, the success rate is quite high.

The tools for a swift retreat post-assassination are ready, set to activate automatically at the specified time.

Items to obscure the Spirit Realm Interface Panel are prepared to avoid being tracked and killed.

The calculations showed that the target has life-preserving items, including a Shield and teleportation ability, and measures to counter these capabilities are also in place, ensuring to break through these items for a lethal strike.

Although their attributes were unknown, assuming the worst case that both possess 200 Constitution and 8,000 Life, in such an extreme case, I can still rapidly hunt them down with speed.

OK, perfect!

Everything is ready!

It’s time to remind them of the fear of being dominated by "Twilight"!

....

"Next up is the seventh item of our auction..."

The auctioneer’s voice paused slightly as a large cube, covered elegantly with a luxurious cloth, was slowly lifted from below. A staff member carefully picked up a corner of the cloth and, with a swift pull, revealed what was beneath.

A massive iron cage appeared, within it was a giant but slightly immature-looking white tiger. Its pristine wings shielded its body, and the tiger’s eyes regarded its surroundings with anxiety and fear, and beneath that fear lurked a desire for total destruction.

"A juvenile pet, the Winged White Tiger!!"

The auctioneer continued excitedly, "The Winged White Tiger holds immense potential. Once it matures to its peak, it possesses the strength of a Tier Two Dominator, making it an excellent existence as a Contracted Beast."

"This Winged White Tiger happens to be in its most contractable juvenile period. If anyone can obtain it, they will gain a Tier Two peak Dominator Level partner. Its bloodline and offspring hold incomparable value, starting price, zero."

Suddenly, the venue’s atmosphere ignited as countless people began bidding frantically, and the value of the Winged White Tiger skyrocketed in a short time.

The scariest part of the Winged White Tiger isn’t just that it can reach Tier Two Dominator but that it can be contracted by the children of major clans and grow alongside them. By the time they meet the standards for their first Spirit Realm trial, they will have the trump card of summoning the Winged White Tiger.

Of course, if the gap in strength is too large, then the Winged White Tiger cannot be easily summoned. But with the right equipment and various resources, creating a top-tier Hero Level Spiritualist is entirely possible.

As for the Legendary Level...

It’s impossible to reach that level through external assistance. The Spirit Realm allows Spiritualists to be cunning but doesn’t allow cunning to obtain the top-tier resources.

Therefore, the highest Legendary Level Spiritualists mostly don’t have Contracted Beasts raised from youth... unless they are from a Beast Taming Clan that uses this as their core ability for cultivation.

....

"It’s truly heated."

Ye Mingqiu watched the Winged White Tiger on stage, his eyes flickering with an unusual light. He looked at the Eye of Omaragon and said, "Hurry it up! Speed it up! I want to see the dragon egg hatch!"

The Eye of Omaragon trembled in fear.

In theory, the egg of the World-Ending Demon Dragon had long since entirely died, devoid of vitality. A dead egg could not possibly nurture life.

But the Power of the Ancient God is rather unique. Life eroded by the Power of the Ancient God will have its life form altered, and even a life that has perished can be granted new vitality.

For example, the Skeleton Monarch in the Elydenis World, which was originally just a pile of bones but was brought back to life through the Power of the Ancient God.

Thus, even if the egg of the World-Ending Demon Dragon is dead, it’s not a problem. Once the erosion by the Power of the Ancient God is complete, it can be granted life in another form and be revived with a different life form, reborn as a life on the Ancient God Side.

World-Ending Demon Dragon...

Its tier is not low!

"Something’s wrong."

Tang Ruobing suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?"

Ye Mingqiu frowned and then carefully observed everything on stage, particularly the Winged White Tiger.

Since the Winged White Tiger only had the potential of a Tier Two Dominator, he initially didn’t pay much attention, but after Tang Ruobing’s reminder, he quickly noticed an anomaly.

"This Winged White Tiger, its physique seems different from its kin. Its head-to-body ratio doesn’t appear normal, and the patterns at the base of its wings seem slightly different... must be a variant," Ye Mingqiu said.
