The crisp sound of the mallet falling rang in Ning Liu's mind almost simultaneously with that cold, familiar mechanical voice.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully auctioned the "Azure Wave Divine Light Shield"!]
[Transaction Price: Five million Gold Soul Coins!]
[The host's recent auction unexpectedly triggered an additional event, altering the future fate of the merfolk and resulting in a ten-thousand-fold return on the auction!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Taixu Divine Sea Map!]
A surge of information instantly flooded Ning Liu's mind, causing him to tremble slightly as his consciousness sank into the system space.
There, an old scroll, seemingly ordinary, floats quietly.
It lacks the dazzling brilliance of the Azure Wave Divine Light Shield; instead, it resembles an old canvas stained with the ink of countless years, upon which are drawn indistinct mountains and oceans.
However, the moment Ning Liu's thoughts touched the scroll, the entire scroll seemed to come alive!
The ocean in the picture is no longer an inanimate object, but a boundless sea of emptiness. The mountains and rivers have transformed into towering pillars that suppress the primordial chaos of the universe, exuding an aura of timelessness.
【Item Name: Taixu Divine Sea Map】
[Item Rank: Super Artifact]
[Item Description: This image was refined from the core of an ancient god's own divine domain, and contains a vast divine sea within it.]
[Unfolding this diagram transforms it into an absolute defensive barrier. Within the barrier, a self-contained world exists, capable of isolating all detection and attacks below the level of a god. Even if a main god-level powerhouse were to forcibly attack, this diagram could autonomously withstand three such attacks!]
Ning Liu's heart skipped a beat.
Super artifact? !
It autonomously withstood three attacks from a God-King level powerhouse!
This is no longer a simple defensive artifact; it's practically a mobile, portable, and absolutely safe zone!
Its value is more than a thousand times or ten thousand times that of the Azure Wave Divine Light Shield.
Ning Liu calmly regained his composure, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, and let the warm tea slide down his throat, suppressing the turbulent waves surging in his heart.
He looked up at the stage, where his junior sister was radiating confidence and enjoying her moment of glory.
"Thank you for the generosity of the Sea Witch Douluo, and thank you to all the Sea Soul Master friends for your support."
Ning Rongrong put away the auction gavel, her face beaming with a smile.
"After the auction just now, I believe everyone has gained a new understanding of the quality of the items offered by our Liuli Tian."
She slightly puffed out her chest and continued:
"And next up will be the last item in this auction."
"I believe this will definitely be the most precious final item in the auction! Its value far surpasses any of the previous items!"
These words reignited the atmosphere in the room.
Especially the Sea Soul Masters, who no longer held any of their previous contempt or doubt.
"The grand finale treasure! Its value far exceeds that of the Azure Wave Divine Light Shield?"
"My God, even a strategic treasure like the Azure Wave Divine Light Shield isn't the grand finale, so what level of existence must the last item be?"
"Liuli Heaven... no, this Liuli Sect's foundation is terrifyingly powerful!"
"Quick! Take it out and let us see!"
Those Sea Soul Masters who had previously missed out on the Azure Wave Divine Light Shield craned their necks, their eyes burning with renewed fervor.
They clenched their fists, secretly calculating their resources, preparing to fight to the death for this last treasure.
The mainland Soul Masters were even more proud, standing tall and enjoying the gazes of the sea Soul Masters that were a mixture of shock, envy, and anticipation.
Even Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, revealed genuine curiosity in his usually calm and deep blue eyes.
What could be the treasure that Ning Liu would consider his grand finale?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and, with immense confidence and anticipation, probed her consciousness into the storage soul tool on her wrist.
Then……
She froze on the spot.
The smile on his face was like the surface of a lake frozen by frost, cracking inch by inch.
Those beautiful eyes, which had just been bright and sparkling, suddenly widened in shock, as if they had seen something astonishing and mind-blowing.
Time stood still at that moment.
On the auction stage, the proud little peacock had been transformed into a comical stone sculpture.
The crowd below the stage looked at each other in bewilderment. The originally enthusiastic atmosphere gradually cooled down as Ning Rongrong remained stunned, turning into a chorus of whispers.
"What's going on? Why isn't Miss Ning Rongrong moving?"
"Look at her expression... Is it because the final item was so shocking that even she was stunned?"
"It's possible! Tell me, is it possible that it's a magical artifact!"
"Hiss... An auction of a divine artifact? Impossible! This is too extravagant!"
The Sea Soul Masters started a new round of speculation, their guesses becoming increasingly outlandish and their excitement growing with each thought.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School elders behind Ning Fengzhi were somewhat puzzled.
"Sect Master, what happened to Rongrong...?"
An elder asked in a low voice.
Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly. He knew his daughter well; anything that could make her show such an expression was no ordinary matter.
His gaze involuntarily fell upon the composed Ning Liu.
What on earth is this kid up to?
But thinking about it, it makes sense; it's normal for Ning Liu's auctions to never have a final item.
At this moment, a level twelve mental storm was raging in Ning Rongrong's mind.
She finally snapped out of her petrified state, biting her lower lip so hard it almost bled.
She didn't look down at the audience, but instead fixed her gaze on Ning Liu with a fiery intensity.
