Chapter 1663 The Grand Finale Appears

Next, the second highlight appeared.

This time, what appeared was a broken blade.

The blade has an ancient and simple appearance, covered with natural patterns resembling blood vessels.

The moment the broken blade appeared, a terrifying sword intent that severed cause and effect swept through the hall, causing all the cultivators' souls to feel a bone-chilling cold!

"A Remnant Weapon, a Blade of Destruction." Master Wanbao succinctly stated, "The origin of this blade is unknown. Although it is damaged, the Daoist essence within it has not been extinguished. Holding it can sever the threads of cause and effect. However, this weapon is ferocious and cannot be controlled by anyone without great fortune and perseverance. The risk of backlash is extremely high. Starting bid: 100 million stones, or an equivalent price for a rare item of killing or destiny."

Upon the appearance of this item, the malevolent aura within the private rooms of the Big Dipper Divine Realm almost solidified, leading to fierce bidding.

In addition, several Mahayana cultivators skilled in cursing fate, as well as that eighth-tier shadow demon, also joined the competition.

Ultimately, this deadly blade was acquired by several mysterious rogue cultivators who joined forces.

Although the two final items were not rare treasures from the Dao Source, their value and the ensuing competition made Zhang Xuan feel hesitant to pursue them.

Finally, amidst great anticipation, Master Wanbao waved his sleeve once more, and starlight converged, revealing the true form of the first Dao Source Treasure.

It was a constantly twisting shadow, seemingly formed from countless tiny wails and curses. It had no fixed shape, yet it exuded an extreme sense of resentment, decay, and impending doom.

"A rare artifact from the Dao Source—the Shadow of Annihilation." Master Wanbao's voice echoed, "This artifact originates from the depths of a stronghold on the border of the Divine Realm, condensing the purest Dao essence of Annihilation and Termination. Using this artifact as a source, one can condense the Dao essence of Annihilation and wield the power to end all things. Starting bid: 300 million stones, or an equivalent value of a rare artifact of the Annihilation or Termination category."

Henry Zhang’s eyes narrowed.

This object is somewhat similar to the Boundless Calamity Soil of the Celestial Ancestor, but it leans more towards a pure end and lacks that paradoxical rebirth.

His Great Dao Tree emitted a clear sense of rejection; this thing was seriously incompatible with his path.

The bidding mainly came from the private rooms of the Boundless Divine Realm, a few Mahayana cultivators who cultivated similar paths, and an eighth-order Corpse Emperor shrouded in an aura of death.

After a fierce competition, it was exchanged by the Heavenly Eclipse Ancestor of the Boundless Divine Realm in exchange for a large amount of calamity power crystals and an ancient broken stele containing the power of returning to the void.

Next, other Dao Source Treasures such as Boundless Calamity Soil and Primordial Demon Crystal were auctioned off, all of which contradicted Zhang Xuan's Great Dao Tree.

Zhang Xuan was a little anxious: "Will I not be able to buy even a single Dao Source treasure at this auction?"

"The last Dao Source Treasure," Master Wanbao's voice was steady, his Kun Yuan Zhen Sui calm and collected.

"This item is the ultimate product of the destruction of stars and the collapse of spacetime. It contains the purest fundamental law of gravity. Refining this item can distort space, suppress all things, and even evolve a gravity domain. The starting bid must be an equivalent gravity or gravitational artifact, or a treasure involving the control of the origin of matter, or... a divine medicine containing boundless creative vitality that can nourish all things."

Gravity-induced lateral branches!

A sharp light suddenly flashed in Zhang Xuan's eyes!

His gravitational lateral branch authority emitted an incredibly strong attraction and resonance!

This is exactly the rare Dao source he needs!

Compared to the previous Dao Source Treasures, there were very few bidders for the Kunyuan Zhen Sui.

Although the law of gravity is powerful, it is an unorthodox method and its cultivation is fraught with danger.

The main competitors are several Mahayana cultivators from the Great Thousand Divine Realm, and a Mahayana cultivator who cultivates the Path of Star Extinction.

"A fragment of the Three Lives Stone taken from the source of the Yellow Springs in the Nine Netherworlds of the Great Dao!" a Mahayana cultivator with a strong aura of the Netherworld spoke.

"A crystal of misfortune condensed from the life's cultivation of a great sorcerer, capable of distorting cause and effect and inflicting misfortune!"

Bidding is slowly increasing.

Zhang Xuan knew this was his only chance!

He possessed the Myriad Spirits Ancestral Root, which Wanbao Zhenren had mentioned, containing boundless creative vitality and comparable to an eighth-order divine medicine!

Just as several Mahayana cultivators were preparing to raise their bets again, Zhang Xuan's calm voice resounded throughout the hall:

"I offer—a complete ancestral root of all spirits!"

"The Ancestral Root of All Spirits?" Master Wanbao's gaze sharpened as he confirmed, "Are you sure it's that one... not nurtured by a single True Spirit's blood, but rather a rare treasure of heaven and earth, born from the most essential essence of the Pool of All Spirits, through countless ages and a series of fortuitous events?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Xuan replied decisively.

In an instant, several divine thoughts swept over, carrying surprise and longing.

Especially that mysterious figure who consigned the Kunyuan Zhensui.

The Ancestral Root of All Spirits is of great benefit to any cultivator, whether it is strengthening their foundation, nourishing their soul, replenishing their origin, or breaking through barriers.

For consignors, the all-encompassing ancestral root, which can provide a massive amount of life essence and help them resist certain erosions or break through bottlenecks, is far more attractive than other unorthodox rare items.

The mysterious consignor's divine sense conveyed clear approval.

After waiting a moment, Wanbao Zhenren sensed the consignor's strong desire and finally brought down the gavel:

"Deal! The Dao Source Treasure Kunyuan Zhen Sui is exchanged for a Myriad Spirits Ancestral Root!"

Starlight enveloped the collapsing dark sphere of light, passed through the barrier, and fell into Zhang Xuan's hand.

The moment he touched it, the terrifying gravity almost made him freeze in place.

At the same time, the ancestral root of all spirits was also activated, completing the exchange.

Holding the Kunyuan Zhensui tightly, feeling the joy and excitement of impending transformation emanating from the gravity-dependent branches, Zhang Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.

Although he failed to obtain the most ideal source of control over all laws, he was able to solidify the crucial gravity branch, enabling him to truly advance to the Mahayana stage. Therefore, these three hundred years of waiting were not in vain.

The auction has concluded.

Streams of light departed along the spatial threads of the Ascension Platform, returning to their original divine realm.

Zhang Xuan also planned to return to the Dragon Spine Divine Realm to prepare for advancing to the Mahayana stage.

The Starry Sky Token emitted a dazzling light, and a spatial thread appeared on the Ascension Platform.

With a flash, Zhang Xuan appeared in the Dragon Spine Divine Realm.

Just as he regained his footing, three powerful and domineering Mahayana spiritual pressures descended, completely sealing and solidifying the void within a radius of tens of millions of miles!

Surprisingly, a Mahayana cultivator followed the spatial thread that led Zhang Xuan away from the Ascension Platform.

Three figures, carrying a chilling aura, surrounded Zhang Xuan in the center.

On the left, there is a figure as imposing as a sacred mountain, with a torrent of power flowing through his body like magma, representing the ultimate law of power.

On the right, a chilling and eerie aura emanated from him, with a twisted and corroded branch of authority floating behind him!

This is the manifestation of his annihilation and corruption of the Great Dao's authority, exuding a malevolent Dao charm that erodes all things and decays the foundation of the Dao.

Directly in front of him was a smug-looking Mahayana, and behind him appeared a crystal branch constructed of countless fine star runes.

This is his authority to suppress and seal the Great Dao through the stars. As the light flows, it carries the powerful effect of imprisoning the soul and suppressing magic power.

The three early Mahayana practitioners had all condensed the physical branches of their own Great Dao authority!

Although it is just a single branch, it is incredibly solid, representing that they have already reached a high level in their respective paths, far surpassing ordinary beginners in Mahayana Buddhism.

The Taoist aura emanating from the three branches of power intertwined, forming a profound domain.
