Chapter 1200: Bidding War
Han Li's eyes instantly lit up slightly at the sight of the black claw, and Weeping Soul also sat up a little straighter.
This Infernal Ghost Claw was one of the two immortal treasures that she desired.
The auctioneer cast an incantation seal into the black claw, and a dense whirlwind of black runes instantly flew out from within, sending a gust of fierce yin wind erupting out of the giant claw.
Even though restrictions had been set up near the auction platform, a burst of bone-chilling yin power still swept over the entire venue, and some of the auction-goers with lesser cultivation bases were left trembling in their seats.
The auctioneer changed an incantation, and the black claw instantly swelled to the size of a house before grabbing onto a huge, black rock that was several hundred feet tall beside the platform.
According to the rules of the Sun Moon Pavilion, a demonstration had to be held for all offensive immortal treasures presented in the auction to allow auction-goers to witness their power. The black rock was a material that was renowned for its resilience, making it the perfect subject for such demonstrations.
Several immortal treasures had already been tested on the giant rock, so it was riddled with pits and bumps, but was still overall intact.
A faint thud rang out as the black claw fell upon the huge rock, and the latter was instantly split into around a dozen pieces, with plumes of green smoke rising up from the cross-sections, indicating severe corrosion.
Many of the auction-goers couldn't help but gasp upon seeing this, while Weeping Soul's eyes lit up with excitement.
In contrast, Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this. Given the Infernal Ghost Claw's immense offensive prowess, it was undoubtedly the most powerful immortal treasure to have been presented thus far, so its final price was almost certainly going to be an astronomical one.
With fifty million Immortal Origin Stones in his possession, securing this treasure was not an issue, but it would leave him very short on funds for the rest of the auction.
