Chapter 186: The Power of the Gods? The Shocked Crowd!
The elders of Shrek Academy stood up one after another, their spiritual power fully activated, attempting to probe the mystery of the white cloth.
Yan Shaozhe's face changed slightly. "Strange, my spiritual power can't penetrate the surface of this cloth! It seems to be blocked by some invisible force."
His spiritual power rippled out like waves, but when it reached the edge of the white cloth, it suddenly shattered, as if hitting an indestructible glass barrier.
Elder Xuan stared at the blood-red patterns on the white cloth, muttering, "This cloth must have been soaked in blood, but why does this blood still have such vitality? The flowing patterns on the surface seem to carry an extraordinary aura."
Spirit Hall's direction.
"This intense smell of blood and the powerful evil force—this is truly a treasure tailor-made for our Spirit Hall. It seems we absolutely cannot miss this item."
An elder from Spirit Hall, feeling the aura emanating from the white cloth, had a greedy gleam in his eyes.
For most soul masters, such a thing would be considered evil and repulsive.
However, on the contrary, Spirit Hall greatly favored this aura—the soul ring that had been nurtured in darkness within their bodies was now howling, eager to devour this power.
Moreover, he could clearly sense that the blood on the cloth most likely came from a powerful existence.
It would be impossible for such a powerful aura to emanate from a simple piece of white cloth unless it came from something or someone far more ancient and powerful.
"Indeed, the power of this item might be beyond our expectations. If it truly is suitable, we must acquire it no matter the cost."
Zhong Liwu from Spirit Hall expressed his thoughts. Since it was the third auction item, it was undoubtedly more powerful than the first two items.
This made Zhong Liwu even more curious about what kind of incredible power this item contained.
At the back row of Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao's expression also became serious upon seeing what was on display.
He believed this was definitely an evil object.
At that moment, a voice from Ilex echoed in his spiritual sea.
"Yuhao, try to acquire this item at all costs. It must not fall into the hands of evil individuals. The origin of this item is extremely special."
Ilex's voice was filled with an unprecedented seriousness, as if it had crossed through endless time and space, stirring waves deep within Huo Yuhao's soul.
"Teacher, can you tell where this cloth comes from?"
Hearing Ilex's voice, Huo Yuhao became even more puzzled and quickly asked.
He could feel that the phantom of Ilex in his spiritual sea was trembling intensely, clearly very wary of this object.
"This white cloth itself is unremarkable. The most special thing is the blood on it. This blood comes from an incredibly powerful existence. Based on my observations, this blood has been here for at least ten thousand years."
"Even so, the blood still retains a powerful force. If evil individuals were to obtain this item and extract the power from the blood, it would lead to destruction and chaos."
Ilex slowly explained his findings. He had never expected such powerful blood to appear in this world.
This also confirmed his previous suspicions that Star Auction Pavilion had come from elsewhere. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have so many top-tier treasures.
"Ten thousand years?"
Huo Yuhao, the Ice Emperor, and the Sky Dream Ice Worm were all shocked when they heard the time mentioned.
"If the power from the blood on the white cloth could be extracted to enhance one's strength, then it shouldn't affect righteous soul masters, right?"
At that moment, the Ice Emperor's voice slowly sounded in Huo Yuhao's mind.
"If this is blood from an ordinary powerful being, there would naturally be no problem. But this blood carries an extremely strong evil aura. If it is absorbed recklessly, the one who takes it will undoubtedly become a killing monster, lose their sanity, and bring disaster to the world."
Ilex continued to explain.
"The owner of this blood was once an extremely powerful evil being."
His voice suddenly became distant.
Upon hearing this, the Ice Emperor, Huo Yuhao, and the others understood, and their hearts aligned with Ilex's thoughts. This item must not fall into the hands of evil soul masters.
Huo Yuhao felt conflicted. He didn't have the funds to compete with the other forces, and he could only silently hope that other forces wouldn't let Spirit Hall acquire this top-tier treasure.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Huo Yuhao considered whether he should warn the powerful members of Shrek Academy beside him.
His gaze swept over Yan Shaozhe's clenched fists and over the serious expressions of Elder Xuan and Mu Lao.
If he spoke up, it was very likely that his own secret would be exposed.
After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao decided to remain silent for now. If it came to a crucial moment, he would speak up then.
At this moment, not only Spirit Hall but also Shrek Academy…
Even forces like the Body Sect's Undying Poison, the Sun Moon Empire's Xu Tianran, Haotian Sect's Niu Tian and Titan, and the Mingde Hall's Jing Hongchen—the top forces on Douluo Continent—all expressed their concern over this auction item.
They silently thought: What kind of powerful effect does this bloodstained white cloth really have?
They quietly sat in their chairs, waiting for Star Auction Pavilion's detailed explanation.
The atmosphere in the entire hall grew quiet, giving off a strange feeling.
Jiang Li noticed the curiosity in everyone's eyes and, seeing that he had piqued their interest, didn't delay any further. He began to explain the third auction item.
"Next, let me introduce the third auction item. In fact, this third auction item's white cloth is quite ordinary, but what makes it special is the blood from an extremely powerful existence that has stained it."
"According to our auction pavilion's research, this blood has been here for over ten thousand years. Even so, it still contains an incredibly powerful aura."
Jiang Li's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"Now, let me introduce the specific use of this bloodstained white cloth: By infusing soul power into it, the power of the blood remaining on it can be activated, and one's strength will be enhanced. The maximum enhancement can even allow the user to achieve true divine-level combat power!"
At this moment, Jiang Li directly released this bombshell.
"What!"
"Divine-level combat power?"
Sure enough, all the soul masters in the hall stood up in shock, their faces full of disbelief.
The expressions they had previously worn, full of disdain, were now completely replaced by astonishment.
Divine-level combat power was a true temptation!
Becoming a god was the ultimate dream of every soul master.
However, the strongest on Douluo Continent were merely Title Douluo.
They could hardly imagine the destructive power that true divine-level combat strength could unleash.
The blood had been left for ten thousand years, yet it could still unleash divine-level combat power.
This made people wonder how powerful the owner of this blood had been during their lifetime, and once again, it touched on everyone's area of ignorance.
"Truly a great treasure."
Zhong Liwu, the leader of Spirit Hall, fixed his gaze on the bloodstained white cloth in front of him, his eyes filled with desire.
