Inside the crystal display case, a bone covered in golden patterns lay quietly.

The bone was about the length of an arm, the remains of some unknown creature, and it was a dark gold color with mysterious and complex patterns covering it.

It seems to be naturally formed, yet also like something that was inscribed later.

An ancient and domineering aura permeated from his bones. Although it was not as vast as the divinity of the previous scale, it possessed a more indestructible and unyielding fierceness.

All the powerful attack-type Soul Masters present felt their Martial Souls buzz uncontrollably the moment they saw this piece of bone, as if they were worshipping or in fear.

"What...what is this?"

"What an overbearing aura! My Mighty Steel Bear Martial Soul is actually trembling!"

Discussions rose and fell, and everyone's curiosity was on full display.

DouDou's face was serious. She took a deep breath and said in a voice even louder than before:

"Ladies and gentlemen, if the previous item, 'Aquamarine,' represented the 'key' to the gods, then this next item represents the purest 'power'!"

She pointed to the golden bone and said, word by word, "This thing is called the 'Unyielding Battle Bone'!"

"According to our sect leader's research, this bone belongs to a fallen 'priest' from the divine realm!"

"Priest?"

This word is completely unfamiliar to the vast majority of people on the mainland.

"Based on the information provided in the previous auction, we now know about first-level, second-level, and third-level gods."

"Are priests gods too?"

Someone in the private room asked loudly.

DouDou explained with a smile:

"That's one way to understand it. A priest is a powerful being who serves the chief god and has been granted some of the god's divine power and divinity."

"Although they do not have independent divine positions, their power far surpasses that of mortals; they are 'demigods' walking among the earth!"

"And the owner of this 'Unyielding Battle Bone' was once the most valiant 'Banner-Bearing Priest' under a powerful war god in the divine realm!"

"He was known for his physical strength. It is said that during the turmoil in the divine realm, he held a battle flag and faced an enemy several times his size alone. He fought to the last moment, and his body remained upright!"

"This piece of battle bone is the essence of his divine power and will!"

DouDou's words gave this bone a magnificent backstory, which made everyone present, especially the Soul Masters who admired power, feel their blood boil.

Flag-bearing priest!

Fight to the very last moment!

What a heroic spirit!

"Own it, merge with it, and your physical body will be transformed! Your strength, defense, and regeneration will all receive a revolutionary boost!"

DouDou's voice was full of inflammatory rhetoric, "Ordinary swords and blades can no longer harm you in the slightest! You can even withstand powerful soul skills with your bare body! You will become an invincible fortress on the battlefield!"

This description made Tang Hao, who was in the Haotian Sect's private room, breathe more heavily.

He was domineering throughout his life, pursuing the ultimate power. This "unyielding battle bone" was simply tailor-made for him!

Tang Chen stroked his beard, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

He could tell that although the power contained in this bone was domineering, its level was not particularly high. However, for mortals, it was already an unimaginable divine object.

However, just as everyone was getting excited, DouDou suddenly changed the subject.

"Of course, such a divine object is not so easy to obtain."

Her voice calmed down.

"We must be honest with you all, this item is actually quite 'useless' in the divine realm."

"A chicken rib?"

The moment that word was uttered, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

They were just boasting about it, how did it suddenly become useless?

"Miss DouDou, what do you mean by this? Are you playing us for fools?"

"A sect leader with a fiery temper shouted in dissatisfaction."

DouDou remained calm and patiently explained:

"Consider this: true gods possess eternal and immortal divine bodies, so they naturally look down on the mere remains of these priests."

"As for those who are undergoing divine trials and are about to become gods, what they pursue is the understanding of the laws and the inheritance of the divine position. Such external things that purely strengthen the physical body may actually affect their compatibility with the divine position, and the gains will not outweigh the losses."

"The most crucial thing is,"

DouDou emphasized her words.

"For mortals, the process of fusing with this piece of battle bone is extremely dangerous!"

"How domineering are the will and power of the priests?"

"If one is not careful, the fusion user will have their physical body burst apart by that indomitable fighting spirit, ending up completely annihilated!"

"Therefore, in the realm of gods, powerful gods don't want this thing, other priests don't want it either, and even the legacies of the gods don't need it, so it's just left idle."

The cold water was poured just right.

The crowd, who had just been acting impulsively, instantly calmed down.

There were such big risks!

"I knew it! There's no such thing as a free lunch. Turns out it's a deadly thing!"

"Hahaha, this is interesting! Those who dare to buy are truly fearless warriors!"

"I'd like to see who dares to be the first to stick their neck out. If they were to explode in front of everyone, they would become a laughing stock for all time."

The discussion in the audience eased up, with many people watching with a sense of schadenfreude, wanting to see which "tough guy" would dare to touch this hot potato.
