Chapter 1644 – Gathering of Greats

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, the treasure fair also auctioned off many valuables treasures, all of them triggering a wave of enthusiasm.
But, what people loved to talk about the most and what attracted the most attention was an auction that had yet to begin – the Heretical God Symbol.
Half a month ago, a Divine Lord realm divine runic master called Lin Ming had used an improved Heavenly Fire Symbol and a promissory note for 500 Heavenly Fire Symbols to create a miracle in the history of the auction hall.
Now, just how amazing would this Heretical God Symbol be, one purported to be stronger than the improved Heavenly Fire Symbol?
Nearly everyone’s gaze was focused on the Heretical God Symbol that was soon to be auctioned.
During the last auction, when the improved Heavenly Fire Symbol had severely wounded a powerful vicious beast like the Golden Phoenix Crow and had even reformed multiple times afterwards, the images of this event had been recorded in an array disc and spread all throughout Divine Rune City.
Of those that saw the image recordings, all were left shaking.
It wasn’t just the inner Asura Road, but even some influences in the outer Asura Road had heard about this event and were quickly catching up.
After the long wait of half a month, the hope and desire had brewed for so long that it was a volcano waiting to explode.
On this day, the dappled sunlight was bright. The deep blue sky was as clear as a mirror, crystal bright and beautiful.
From the moment that Divine Rune City lifted the guardian array formations that protected the city, all sorts of space channels opened up in the skies. Massive ships emerged from these space channels, all of them powered by potent energy crystals.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The smallest of these ships was more than 30 feet high. They flew forwards like floating treasure palaces, emitting bursts of radiant light.
The hulls of these ships were carved with images of phoenixes and dragons. Innumerable runes shimmered around them like a sea of stars.
“Holy crap, I fear that every single one of those ships is holding a Sovereign level character… incredible, too incredible…” In the crowd of people, a visitor that came from outside of Divine Rune City stared up at the treasure ships in the sky, praising the scene.
“Sovereign?” A local of Divine Rune City looked at this visitor with disdain in his eyes. This visitor’s cultivation wasn’t high and he had only relied on a little bit of business sense to earn some money. Such a person didn’t have status nor did they have much respect. “Each of those treasure ships is seating a concubine. They are the concubines of the ruler of Providence Edge Nation, Xu Wuzi.”
“What? Concubines!?” The visitor’s eyes widened. He found this hard to believe.
“What’s so strange about it…?” The one speaking seemed annoyed. “Providence Edge Nation’s ruler is an Empyrean that has been safeguarding the destiny of the nation for over 10 million years. He rarely leaves but today he actually came to visit our Divine Rune City. It seems this year’s treasure fair is becoming increasingly splendid!”
“Empyrean?”
The visitor was panic-stricken. This was yet another Empyrean!
The divine runic symbols that Lin Ming created were not of much personal use to an Empyrean. However, they were extremely useful to the influences that these figures raised. In other words, they were sharp weapons of war!
And this auction of divine runic symbols would inevitably involve a large number of points. Only an Empyrean personally attending would be able to instantly increase the price as they wanted. Their subordinates wouldn’t have the courage to do so.
As the day of the auction neared, heroes gathered from all corners of the world. Large numbers of different races and clans rushed in like tidal waves.
The flying castle added on eight space channels constructed with top quality space crystals. These space channels connected to massive sphere-like VIP suites within the auction hall arena.
Looking up from the ground, it was like the floating castle had grown eight long tentacles.
At this time, within the entire castle, everyone single seat and room was packed to the brim.
Several items had already been auctioned at the start, but these items hadn’t been able to stir up much of a wave.
The atmosphere was extremely strange. There wasn’t much movement originating from the VIP suites.
A tall hourglass floated high in the sky. The yellow sand within rustled to the bottom, soon about to finish.
Finally, within the many peaceful rooms, there was movement.
Song Wen wore a meticulously-prepared robe as he stepped onto the auction stage. He smiled and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve had to wait a long time. The next auction will be for the Heretical God Symbols!”
Song Wen’s voice was brief and potent. Although it was short and to the point, it rumbled through every corner of the castle, spreading into every room.
For a time, the movements in the various rooms slowed down.
