Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 980 - 978 - Sword Saint God Statue
For this price, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was obviously very satisfied; the smile on his face became much richer.
Three items now, none of which are particularly precious auction articles. Tang San's attention, however, became more focused.
The fact that the first three of these last ten auction items were relatively ordinary meant that the subsequent items must be extremely precious; otherwise, how could this super auction conclude? Could the finale be worse than the opening?
The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox made a big profit through showmanship and continued with the bidding for the fourth auction item.
As this fourth auction item appeared, the whole venue couldn't help but burst into shocked gasps.
It was a statue, approximately one and a half meters tall, crafted from a type of transparent crystal. The statue depicted a human figure gazing into the distance, both hands resting on a longsword, the tip of which touched the ground.
When the statue appeared, the air began to hum slightly, and an extremely sharp sword qi rushed to the heavens, piercing a large hole through the clouds that blocked the sunlight. A beam of sunlight shone down, illuminating the statue as if it were a miracle.
"This statue was personally sculpted by the Great Demon Emperor Sword Saint using a period of hundred days and has sealed within it a strand of his sword qi. Thus, it is a one-time divine tool, equivalent to a full-strength strike from the Sword Saint."
When the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox started his introduction, it felt somewhat odd to many.
These emperors were all using different tricks to make money through this super auction. First, there was the Soaring Cloud Divine Sword, and now this Sword Saint Demon Emperor Statue. These aren't really divine tools.

"The starting price is three thousand Purple Crystal Coins, with each bid increment not less than one hundred Purple Crystal Coins. The bidding starts now." The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox didn't elaborate much; he had already made it very clear, a full-strength strike from the Sword Saint.
Compared to the previous Soaring Cloud Divine Sword, this statue immediately met with cold reception, and the first bid took quite a while to appear.
Only usable once, the previously showcased Soaring Cloud Divine Sword already seemed like a tax on intelligence, and this Sword Saint's statue perhaps even less worthy; it was just a one-time item. Claimed to be a full-powered strike by the Sword Saint, but how strong that attack actually is, the interpretation right still lay with the Sword Saint.
Among the Demon Race, ranking even behind the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was the Sword Saint Demon Emperor, who typically didn't make much of an impact. In the eyes of most powerful figures of various races, the Sword Saint was definitely one of the weakest among the emperors.
Three thousand Purple Crystal Coins is not a small sum; this starting price is equivalent to the starting price of a top-tier divine tool. Is a strike from the weakest emperor worth this price?
In the eyes of most of the bidders, it absolutely wasn't. But some still thought, it's worth it!
"Three thousand Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.8." Yes, at this time, Tang San once again made a move, resolving the awkward silence.
Is the wealthy bidder making a move again?
This was what many bidders thought when they heard about VIP Room No.8.
From the previous auctions, the first impression that VIP Room No.8 gave to most bidders was of someone foolish with too much money coming too quickly.
However, upon careful thought, the Sword Saint Demon Emperor Statue might be useless to others, but for the Blue Gold Tree Clan, it really could be somewhat useful. After all, this race isn't skilled at combat! Having such a royal-level strike could indeed have many benefits, although it's somewhat overvalued.
But this item and the God-killing Shuttle are clearly not in the same league, of course, a complete God-killing Shuttle. A divine tool is not only one capable of storing an Emperor-level strike but also one capable of defending against an Emperor's attack. Therefore, the price of 3000 Purple Crystal Coins is still high in the eyes of most bidders.
3000, too cheap! Tang San sat in VIP Room No.8, silently thinking.
He was too familiar with the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, who even had his last breakthrough under Tang San's guidance. It was he who taught the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor the deep mysteries of the sword as the Sword of Judgment. And he subtly instructed the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor that a truly powerful sword must be the King's Sword, the Sword of Justice, the Sword of Judgment. Only by condensing the strongest positive energy can the sword beam be brought to its ultimate potential.
A single Sword Saint Order from the Sword Saint Demon Emperor could store one of its strikes. Such a statue, personally carved by the Sword Saint Demon Emperor over a hundred days, must contain a profound strike. It is likely that after a deeper understanding of the sword beam, the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor used the carving to hone himself, condensing all his insights into this statue. This item's rarity is not something ordinary divine tools can compare with, but ordinary bidders don't recognize its value, and the Red-crowned Crane of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor's clan wouldn't promote it. The relationship between the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox and the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor is just average, which is why this statue gives off an unclaimed feeling.
"3000 Purple Crystal Coins, any higher offers?" Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox spoke on stage.
"3100 Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.3." Indeed, there was another bid, this time from the Phoenix Demon Clan.
"3500 Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room No.8." Tang San bid again, and this time, he did not go directly to 5000, not because he didn't have the money, but because he didn't want to attract too much attention.
And his re-bidding made many bidders even less interested, even the rich Blue Golden Tree Clan weren't willing to offer a high price, further proving the statue's lack of worth.
These last ten auction items, the first four really were somewhat disappointing!
The sword beam on the statue also gradually subsided, and the sunlight splashed on the statue started to disappear. This made it look even more inconspicuous.
No new offers came. Just three rounds of bidding decided the ownership of this auction item. In the end, Tang San bought this statue of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor for 3500 Purple Crystal Coins.
How wonderful! A thick smile appeared on Tang San's face.
"Wow, an Emperor-level strike! Brother, this is good," Jin Miaosen also chortled beside him. Compared to those divine tools that require personal handling, it definitely preferred something that could immediately unleash a powerful attack. How good is that! Even if it's not used, keeping it in the Blue Golden Tree Clan is also a form of deterrence.
The other Elders also thought the same. In their view, this type of auction item was the most meaningful for the Blue Golden Tree Clan.
After four out of ten, only the last six auction items remain. At this time, the auction house's enthusiasm had noticeably declined, obviously due to the bidders being somewhat disappointed by the previous items. They seem to be of artifact level, but are they truly of divine tool realm?
"Please bring up our fifth auction item." The auction continued, and Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox seemed to have no thoughts concerning the control of the auction's pacing.
The entire auction platform at that time began to tremble slightly, and then the huge auction platform slowly rose. A tremendous oppressive force simultaneously burst out from below the platform.
"Roar—" A stirring dragon roar reverberated through heaven and earth.
The terrifying dragon roar made all the bidders with slightly weaker bloodlines turn pale, terrified.
What is that?
With the rising of the auction platform, a giant cage appeared below it. Yes, a cage. Inside, it was clearly reinforced with various magic arrays. And in that cage, there was a creature.
It resembled a dragon-like creature, with a pair of giant wings growing on its back, a very muscular body about 30 meters long, with an exceptionally large head, topped with a single huge horn over three meters long. Its entire body was covered with oddly shaped bizarre scales, giving it an extremely ugly appearance, yet filled with formidable might.
