"Two billion!"

Jin Fei stood up and shouted loudly, doubling the initial bid right away.

His shout scared off many people; after all, it was two billion Spirit Stones, not two billion regular stones. Such an enormous amount was beyond the reach of many and simply unattainable.

"I bid two billion five hundred million. This Thunder Technique, our Water Wind Dragon clan must have it," Sea Dragon spoke calmly, his eyes slightly narrowed as he gazed at Jin Fei.

The Water Wind Dragon and the Golden-winged Roc are both extremely terrifying Demon Races, neither afraid of the other.

"Count me in. Three billion Spirit Stones. This Secret Technique, the Ten Thousand Spirits Illusion Ox clan wants it," a burly man with a square face, who had not bid before, spoke in a cold voice.

With those words, the entire audience was shocked.

"Whoa, the Ten Thousand Spirits Illusion Ox clan, this Demon Race is extraordinary. They have eight Supreme Great Emperors and a Daoist Venerable backing them, and they've come too."

"Don't worry; those guys in the VIP boxes haven't made a move yet. They're all extraordinary, especially that youth opposing the Golden-winged Roc. You can tell he's no ordinary person."

"This is truly an eye-opener. The Golden-winged Roc, Water Wind Dragon, and Ten Thousand Spirits Illusion Ox, three great Demon Races have all come. I wonder if other big clans have arrived. Anyway, this realm is beyond our reach."

The auction managed to gather three great Demon Races, which frightened the lower-level Demon Races and weaker Human Races, afraid to provoke these great clans and invite disaster.

"Just three billion and you think you can claim this Thunder Technique? I bid four billion!" At this moment, the person in VIP box number one placed a bid, immediately offering four billion.

Someone seemed to recognize his voice.

"This voice sounds familiar. Could it be Li Zhongdao?!" a man exclaimed in surprise, looking towards VIP box number one.

Hearing this, others were also taken aback.

Even the Demons from the major clans were immensely shocked and all looked towards VIP box number one.

Li Zhongdao, this man is not ordinary. He is one of the Daoist Venerables of the Human Race, proficient in Thunder Techniques, so it makes sense for him to come and seize this Thunder Technique.

With his arrival, the Demon Races didn't dare to compete.

"Li Zhongdao, doesn't it shame you to come and compete with these kids for the Secret Technique?" came a woman's voice from VIP box number three.

"Heh, shouldn't you be out demon-suppressing, and not attending auctions? Chen Han," Li Zhongdao retorted with a cold laugh.

With those words, everyone was again taken aback, and the major Demons trembled.

The Demon Suppression Bureau, someone from the Demon Suppression Bureau had come, and it was the Chief, Chen Han!

This person is also a Daoist Venerable. There are four Daoist Venerables in the Human Race Sacred City: Thunder Technique Daoist Venerable Li Zhongdao, Demon Suppression Chief Chen Han, and two others who are mysterious and rarely appear in the Human Race Sacred City.

As a result, both Daoist Venerables present in the Human Race Sacred City came to the auction.

"Four billion Spirit Stones, is there anyone else who can top that?" Xiao Mei smiled joyously; she didn't expect so many people to be buying this Secret Technique.

In fact, this Secret Technique isn't as simple as it appears. Their association had ten people practice this Secret Technique simultaneously, and all of them died, despite being skilled in Thunder Techniques, they all died violently without exception.

They concluded that only those with extremely strong constitutions could comprehend this Secret Technique. Otherwise, they'd be devoured by lightning in moments, as was the case with those ten people.

"Five billion, please give us some face. Our Thunder Demon clan will surely visit you in the future, repaying the favor," an elder stood up, scanning the major demons and several boxes.

Everyone was again shocked; the Thunder Demon clan had arrived. Their foundations are even more terrifying, and it's said there is currently a Supreme Great Emperor about to break through to Daoist Venerable in their clan, and if successful, they would have two Daoist Venerables, becoming unstoppable in the world!

"Heh, your would-be broken-through Supreme Great Emperor needs the Thunder Dao, right? No way we'll allow that. Six billion Spirit Stones!" Li Zhongdao laughed coldly.

His Thunder Dao was just a hair away from perfection, and once it achieved perfection, he'd be invincible. Those demons couldn't be his opponents, so he had to acquire this Secret Technique.

"Seven billion!" the elder said coldly, determined to claim the Thunder Technique.

The bidding escalated constantly, and ultimately the Thunder Technique was driven up to a price of eighteen billion Spirit Stones, an astronomical amount.

At this price, not many could provide more Spirit Stones. This bid was put forth by Li Zhongdao.

Everyone looked at each other; some were unwilling, some were angry, and some were gloating.

"Since there are no more bids, I'll gladly accept," Li Zhongdao forced a smile, this eighteen billion Spirit Stones accounted for all his savings over fifty thousand years, now exhausted, bankrupt.

"Alright, eighteen billion once..."

"Twenty billion, I bid twenty billion Spirit Stones."

Suddenly, a voice chimed in abruptly, it was Chen Lan from VIP box number nine!

Everyone was shocked; twenty billion Spirit Stones, could this youth really produce such a fortune?

They doubted whether Chen Lan could actually provide it, considering that not even the major clans could easily come up with such an amount.

More surprisingly, Chen Lan dared to compete against Li Zhongdao, a Human Race Daoist Venerable. Could it be he was also a Daoist Venerable?

Impossible, right? He appeared so young, unless he altered his appearance, and besides, he was an unfamiliar figure. Was he a newly ascended Daoist Venerable?

"Xiao Qing, this young man is indeed interesting, daring to compete with Li Zhongdao. Is he unaware of Li Zhongdao's strength, or does he possess equal power?" Chen Han looked at Chen Lan from afar, smiling with intrigue.

Wei Qing beside her spoke, "Hmm, I haven't seen this person before. He appears to be human, possibly from another world. If we can recruit him, our Demon Suppression Bureau's overall strength would greatly improve, and since even Master can't see through him, his strength might match yours."

"Such a young Daoist Venerable is extremely rare. Hopefully, he's not here to cause trouble," Chen Han said lightly.

"Kid, you've been buying nonstop, already spending at least twenty billion Spirit Stones, now you've bid another twenty billion, totaling forty billion. Can you really bring forth such wealth?" Li Zhongdao said coldly.

He'd been observing Chen Lan from the start; this young, wealthy individual could produce so many Spirit Stones, and now bidding another twenty billion to seize his Secret Technique, he couldn't believe a youth could have such wealth, and even major clans might struggle to produce forty billion Spirit Stones.

"Whether I have it or not, what's it to you? The organizers will naturally decide. Are you buying or not? If you're broke, then get lost, don't hinder me from buying my stuff," Chen Lan retorted with a cold laugh.

With those words, everyone was stunned. This person dared to insult Li Zhongdao; wasn't that too audacious?

"Alright, alright, you dare insult me; you're the first! Today, if I don't flay and dismember you, I, Li Zhongdao, am not a human!"
