At this thought, Qin Jiuyou's gaze became even more intense.

What he lacked now was just the right opportunity, and once he obtained it, he would completely transform, then leap over the Dragon Gate, and fully achieve the stature of an Ancient Monarch who reigns supreme over the heavens.

"No matter what, the Forbidden Soul Hall must not obtain this piece of the Supreme Immortal Arm."

However, Ye Chen also felt apprehensive, as he too had thought of this scenario. He glanced far off towards the direction of the Forbidden Soul Hall's Divine Tower, his eyes also kindling with fervor: "Moreover, this piece of Supreme Immortal Arm would be greatly beneficial to me, helping me attain a higher level of Chaos Enlightenment, and more importantly—"

More importantly, once he refines the Supreme Immortal Arm, it contains Immortal Dao Supreme Blood with unparalleled Dao Divine Ability, more so Immortal Dao Divine Power, which might allow him to completely transform, leap over the Dragon Gate, and enter the realm of Ancient Great Power, competing fully for domination over the Ancient Road and challenging the final barrier!

Indeed, that's what Ye Chen was contemplating. He had always been at the peak of a Heavenly King, not advancing nor retreating beneath the barrier of Great Power.

Sooner or later, he would have to cross this threshold. At that time, he would surely soar, proudly traversing the world, and when facing a true Ancient Road Dominator, he was confident he wouldn't need to make deals with the Heavenly Desolate Divine Land for enough power to contend!

And not only that, in fact, trading with the Heavenly Desolate Divine Land could also involve using the Immortal Dao Supreme Blood.

In short, the value of this piece of Supreme Immortal Arm is immense, and Ye Chen was determined to get it no matter what.

Moreover, he looked coldly toward the Vice Hall Master Qin Jiuyou, imbued with killing intent.

Even though Qin Jiuyou had obtained the King World Heart, Ye Chen naturally did not want to give up. If given the chance, he would definitely strike and attack Qin Jiuyou, even if it required trading with the Heavenly Desolate Divine Land.

"Why are you auctioning the Supreme Immortal Arm? Isn't it supposed to belong to our Pill Emperor Clan?" At the same time, Dan Yang spoke with a frown, as it was previously understood that the Supreme Immortal Arm was sealed and taken away by the Pill Emperor Clan, supposed to belong to them, so why the need for auctioning now.

Generally speaking, an entire clan would be unwilling to make such a decision. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At this moment, Dan Xu spoke: "It's not possible, the Supreme Immortal Arm has a too large impact. Although it was ultimately taken away sealed by the Pill Emperor Clan, all forces were unwilling, and even Alchemy Grandmasters, and Ancient Monarch have voiced their hopes to fairly obtain this piece of Supreme Immortal Arm!"

He revealed many insider secrets, stating that even a flourishing emperor clan like the Pill Emperor Clan, with its matchless imperial heritage and guardianship of an Ancient Monarch, possessing a Supreme Emperor Weapon left by the Pill Emperor, did not dare openly confront the entire Ancient Universe.

Doing so would undoubtedly invite universal enmity, along with the covert interference of an Ancient Monarch, leaving the Pill Emperor Clan no choice but to make such a decision.

It was also because the value of the Supreme Immortal Arm had not reached a point where the Pill Emperor Clan would stop at nothing; were it the corpse of an Emperor, then the Pill Emperor Clan might very well act decisively.

Yet, even so, this is the realm of the Pill Emperor Clan, giving them a significant advantage, with unlimited treasures at disposal, they naturally did not fear competing with other great beings and ancient forces for the Supreme Immortal Arm.

Because of the appearance of the centerpiece treasure, the Supreme Immortal Arm, the emotions of many great figures from the Three Thousand Divine Tower were ignited, each one burning with intensity as they gazed at the remnant arm on the central auction platform. Even those usually aloof Alchemy Masters and Grandmasters weren't exempt, displaying extreme fervor.

"Interesting, haha!"

The old gentleman stroked his long beard, emitting a laugh full of deeper meaning.

"The Supreme Immortal Arm, originating from the Supreme Immortal of the Primordial Immortal Realm, contains the supreme Supreme Immortal Principle, the starting bid—"

The auctioneer spoke with a slow, drawn-out tone, hanging everyone's spirits further in suspense. What astronomical starting bid would such a centerpiece treasure, a remnant arm of a Supreme Immortal of the highest standing, commence at?

Even though it's just a remnant arm, it's value is incalculable.

"Three billion!"

As the enchanting auctioneer's words fell, the entire Auction Hall and Three Thousand Divine Tower were enveloped in silence, accompanied by a collective gasp.

Everyone was left stunned, including Ye Chen who was equally shocked.

Three billion!

Not three hundred million!

The difference was tenfold, whereas the entire wealth of an average Great Power was only about four to five hundred million in equivalent value, and that was in spirit stones, not treasures of equivalent value.

The starting bid was an immense sum of three billion!

Forget about others; even those who considered themselves immensely wealthy, including Alchemy Masters and Grandmasters, were left agape.

For a long moment, the entire auction hall was plunged into a deathly silence.

The Pill Emperor Clan, Yan Emperor Clan's strong figures were all rendered mute.

No choice, over ninety percent of the Great Powers present pondered whether they could afford such wealth, and others were certainly in the same boat.

A full quarter of an hour passed before a voice slowly echoed throughout the pin-drop quiet auction hall: "Three billion and ten million!"

The abruptness of the voice undoubtedly drew everyone's attention, revealing it was none other than the Combat Saint King who had spoken.

Though he only raised the previous bid by ten million, it nonetheless captured attention, for in the vast Three Thousand Divine Tower, how many could achieve this step?

Many of the younger generation turned to look at Ye Chen, their gazes filled with special reverence.

Amazed at his possession of over three billion in wealth, awed by his slaughter of young Supremes, such a being seemed like an Immortal Divine Mountain, towering above all youth, commanding respect.

This was something even Dan Yang, the leader of the Pill Emperor Clan's younger generation, had to concede.

"Three billion and one hundred million!"

It was a patriarch of the Pill Emperor Clan who spoke next. Naturally, the clan did not lack wealth, being an ancient lineage that had seen Pill Emperors, their accumulated wealth was unimaginably profound.

"Three billion and five hundred million!"

Qin Jiuyou of the Forbidden Soul Hall also spoke, staring ominously at Ye Chen.

To this, Ye Chen merely smiled subtly, but when he spoke, it was like a stone causing thousands of ripples: "Three billion five hundred million!"

Yes, three billion five hundred million!

Raising the bid directly to three billion five hundred million!

Many drew sharp breaths at seeing the Combat Saint King's calm demeanor, speculating whether he truly did possess such astonishing wealth or was baiting the Forbidden Soul Hall, knowing Qin Jiuyou was thoroughly tricked by him not long ago.

Hearing this, Qin Jiuyou, despite attempting to appear calm, couldn't help but have his heart pound, recalling recent past events clearly.

Several Great Powers behind him advised: "Sire, do not fall for the Combat Saint King's scheme again."

However, Qin Jiuyou took a deep breath and said: "No matter, this hall refuses to believe this brat truly holds such staggering wealth."

He spoke: "Three billion six hundred million!"

"Three billion six hundred and ten million!"

Yet the one speaking was not the Combat Saint King, but someone from the Yan Emperor Clan, a Great Power, who frowned but still bid for the Supreme Immortal Arm.

"Three billion seven—"

Dan Xu began, but before he could finish, the Combat Saint King's voice was heard, causing everyone's hearts to skip a beat: "Four billion!"

The bid was raised by another three hundred million, causing countless in the Three Thousand Divine Tower to gawk in awe, astounded by his audacity, noting that the Combat Saint King didn't even blink.

The hall fell silent as the seductive auctioneer saw many hadn't bid, prompting her to speak:

"Four billion, first call—"

"Four billion, second call—"

"Four billion, final call!"

By the time many, including those from the Yan Emperor Clan, Pill Emperor Clan, and Forbidden Soul Hall realized what had happened, the auction had concluded, with the Supreme Immortal Arm finally falling into the hands of the Combat Saint King for four billion.
