CHAPTER 1203: CHAPTER 1142: UNMATCHED DOMINANCE

Chen Wufeng’s gaze also turned to Ye Chen.

This successor of Eight Wastes Island’s Island Master never expected that Ye Chen truly had the courage to compete with him.

"Two trillion."

Chen Wufeng’s gaze became sharp and fierce as he looked at Ye Chen, raising the price once again.

If it were Tianli Weiwei who wanted to compete with him, Chen Wufeng might have hesitated to raise the price.

But this young man wants to compete with him?

In Chen Wufeng’s heart, although he was curious about Ye Chen’s background, he believed Ye Chen couldn’t compare to him at all.

"Who do you think you are?"

"Are you worthy of competing with me?"

Chen Wufeng looked challengingly at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, however, was indifferent to Chen Wufeng’s gaze.

"Two trillion three hundred billion."

Ye Chen bid once again.

Whoa.

At this moment, many Divine Masters and Masters watching the auction were discussing. They did not expect that Ye Chen, a young man who had previously gone unnoticed by them, really dared to contest with Chen Wufeng.

With two consecutive bids, evidently, Ye Chen wasn’t just shouting random amounts; he genuinely wanted to compete seriously!

"This person has nerve."

"Let’s see who among Ye Chen and Chen Wufeng can win."

Countless eyes were fixed on Ye Chen and Chen Wufeng, waiting for the next bid.

At this moment, Situ Lianchi, sitting beside Chen Wufeng, suddenly spoke: "I bid three trillion."

Situ Lianchi instantly raised the auction price of the Nine Spirits Secret Order from two trillion three hundred billion to three trillion.

The price suddenly increased by seven hundred billion!

What’s more special is that previously it was merely Chen Wufeng competing with Ye Chen, now with Situ Lianchi also joining in, and considering his seemingly friendly relationship with Chen Wufeng.

Clearly, Situ Lianchi’s bid was aimed at Ye Chen.

"Situ Lianchi has entered the bidding, will that young man dare to bid higher?"

Everyone was focused on Ye Chen once again.

They were also worried for Ye Chen, since previously he was competing with just Chen Wufeng, which was manageable. But now, with Situ Lianchi stepping in.

Situ Lianchi is the Young Palace Master of the second most influential force among the seven major powers of the Three Palaces Four Islands, the Immortal Divine Palace!

His status is even higher than Chen Wufeng’s.

Everyone wanted to know if this young man, Ye Chen, audacious enough to contend with Chen Wufeng, would dare to go up against Situ Lianchi as well?

While everyone was speculating.

Ye Chen remained unfazed, calmly saying, "Three trillion two hundred billion."

Ye Chen announced his bid once again!

Boom!

The whole auction hall buzzed with excitement.

No one anticipated that this unfamiliar young man Ye Chen would equally dismiss Situ Lianchi’s presence!

Situ Lianchi was slightly interested in the Nine Spirits Secret Order but didn’t desperately want it like Chen Wufeng did. His bid was indeed to support Chen Wufeng.

Originally, Situ Lianchi thought that his involvement would make this unfamiliar young man Ye Chen reconsider.

But what infuriated him was that Ye Chen did not hesitate at all, still placing his bid.

It seemed that his bid was no different from when Chen Wufeng bid.

"Does this person not know that I’m the Young Palace Master of the Immortal Divine Palace?"

Momentarily, Situ Lianchi even had such a thought.

With a Divine Sense, Situ Lianchi couldn’t help but look at Ye Chen and coldly said, "It seems that you really intend to contend with my Immortal Divine Palace?"

Situ Lianchi directly mentioned the Immortal Divine Palace.

This time, Ye Chen looked at Situ Lianchi, smiled and said, "What, does auctioning require considering backgrounds?"

"I’ve heard the Three Palaces Four Islands are formidable in the Sea of Exile, but that doesn’t affect my bid."

"If you’re truly formidable, go ahead and bid higher."

The meaning in Ye Chen’s words was simple; he knew the Three Palaces Four Islands, knew the Immortal Divine Palace, but he still dared to bid.

To compete for the Nine Spirits Secret Order, let’s contest with prices.

Using the name of the Immortal Divine Palace to suppress others? That’s too disgraceful, and he simply didn’t care.

Ye Chen’s words made Situ Lianchi’s face flush with embarrassment.

At this moment, something happened that made Situ Lianchi even more upset.

Just then, Tianli Weiwei, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke: "This fellow Taoist makes a good point, in an auction, the price should determine the winner. If true strength determines the winner, then the Immortal Divine Palace wouldn’t necessarily claim this Nine Spirits Secret Order."

Tianli Weiwei surprisingly smiled at Ye Chen and nodded.

Her words clearly showed agreement with Ye Chen’s previous statement.

Tianli Weiwei’s remarks directly intensified the surrounding discussions.

After all, Tianli Weiwei is the daughter of the Island Master of Sky Extreme Demon Island, ranking first among the Three Palaces Four Islands.

Sky Extreme Demon Island indeed surpasses the Immortal Divine Palace.

If Situ Lianchi’s background-based argument were to be considered, then Tianli Weiwei would be more qualified to obtain the Nine Spirits Secret Order.

Now, Tianli Weiwei didn’t object to the auction, and Situ Lianchi’s attempt to pressure with the Immortal Divine Palace was embarrassing indeed.

"Tianli, you!"

Situ Lianchi didn’t expect Tianli Weiwei, this unpredictable witch, to speak up for Ye Chen, making him furious and pale.

Ye Chen, however, looked at Tianli Weiwei and smiled: "It seems that there are quite rational people among the Three Palaces Four Islands."

Seeing Ye Chen and Tianli Weiwei exchange smiles and greetings, Situ Lianchi was even more furious.

No reliance on background?

Using price to compete?

Then let’s compete.

Situ Lianchi could mobilize quite a bit of assets; he was determined to see how much this young man in front of him had to compete with him!

"Then let’s speak with strength!"

Situ Lianchi’s voice deepened as he directly called out, "3.8 trillion."

"4 trillion." Ye Chen’s voice came without hesitation.

"4.3 trillion."

"5 trillion."

"5.2 trillion."

"6 trillion."

Situ Lianchi and Ye Chen continuously increased their bids.

Before long, the price of the Nine Spirits Secret Order climbed to an astounding 9.4 trillion!

9.4 trillion, this was the price called out by Ye Chen.

At this price, even for many First Star Tribulation Cosmic Emperors, it would be laborious to gather such an amount instantly.

When he heard Ye Chen call out 9.4 trillion, Situ Lianchi’s heart was pounding intensely.

Situ Lianchi hadn’t expected that every time he raised the bid, the young man opposite him, Ye Chen, would also raise it without any pause.

Previously, when Situ Lianchi called out 9 trillion, it was already a forced bid.

He himself couldn’t possibly come up with that much money.

After all, he was merely the Young Palace Master of the Immortal Divine Palace, not the Palace Master himself.

But Situ Lianchi had not expected that even when he called out 9 trillion, Ye Chen continued to bid without any hesitation.

"Who exactly is this person?"

"Could it be that his wealth surpasses many First Star Tribulation Cosmic Emperors?"

At this moment, Situ Lianchi hesitated for the first time.

"What, afraid to bid higher?"

The voice of Ye Chen, who had called out 9.4 trillion, looked at Situ Lianchi with a calm gaze, as tranquil as still water.

As Ye Chen’s words pricked him, Situ Lianchi was about to force another bid when suddenly, from a figure hidden not far behind him, a voice emerged.

"1 trillion."

Someone else had raised the bid.

In an instant, countless gazes focused on that figure.

And that figure, without further hiding aura or face, directly revealed aura and face at once.

Cosmic Emperor!

This was a Cosmic Emperor!

A Cosmic Emperor had joined the auction.

Someone recognized this Cosmic Emperor and exclaimed, "It’s Emperor Ye! It’s Immortal Divine Palace’s Emperor Ye! Oh heavens, who would have thought that Emperor Ye also came to the grand auction hall."

Others whispered, "Emperor Ye’s bone age has long surpassed a thousand years, and he has no qualification to use the Nine Spirits Secret Order. His stepping forward to bid is clearly to back Situ Lianchi. Obviously, seeing Situ Lianchi’s hesitation, he personally stepped forward to vie for the Nine Spirits Secret Order."

"There’s truly a good show here; previously, it could be said to be a rivalry among young men, but now with even the Cosmic Emperor of the Immortal Divine Palace getting involved, if that young man continues to fight for it, he would offend a Cosmic Emperor on the spot!"

Countless whispers arose.

Countless eyes were directed at Ye Chen, Situ Lianchi, and that Emperor Ye.

At this time, before Ye Chen could speak, Tianli Weiwei gently smiled and said to Ye Chen, "Well, fellow Daoist, are you still going to compete?"

"If you don’t participate anymore, then I, Weiwei, will be joining in."

The countless people in the auction hall were extremely surprised.

They hadn’t expected that after the Cosmic Emperor of the Immortal Divine Palace stepped forward, Tianli Weiwei would say such words.

Her words clearly gave Ye Chen a way out.

After all, truly competing with a Cosmic Emperor wouldn’t necessarily end in success.

If Tianli Weiwei continued to compete, given how much the Sky Extreme Demon Island Island Master adored her, she certainly wouldn’t fear this Cosmic Emperor from the Immortal Divine Palace.

"Who is that young man?"

"Why is Tianli Weiwei being so cordial to him?"

"Never have I heard of Tianli Weiwei treating a young man so courteously."

Countless people whispered in low tones.

Ye Chen was a bit surprised at that moment as well.

He didn’t know why Tianli Weiwei had spoken up for him twice.

However, Ye Chen didn’t mind at all.

In Ye Chen’s eyes, the Nine Spirits Secret Order was of utmost importance!

Even though the Cosmic Emperor of the Immortal Divine Palace had stepped forward, to Ye Chen, it wouldn’t deter his effort to vie for it.

In a flash of reasoning, Ye Chen cupped his fists toward Tianli Weiwei in thanks, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. I am quite interested in the Nine Spirits Secret Order and intend to continue competing."

Following that, Ye Chen looked directly at the Cosmic Emperor, Emperor Ye, his gaze still impossibly calm, and said:

"I bid 1.03 trillion!"

Even in the face of the Cosmic Emperor of the Immortal Divine Palace’s bid, Ye Chen still called out a higher price!

Unmatched in dominance.

Even when facing a Cosmic Emperor, Ye Chen remained as undaunted as when facing Situ Lianchi, unparallelled in dominance! He raised the bid again, continuing to vie for the Nine Spirits Secret Order!
