Chapter 414: Chapter 413 Stone of Refuge



Coming from the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain? That must be from the Heavenly Fox Palace. A good item from the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox?

"As everyone knows, to breakthrough into a Demon King, one must go through the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation. Failure means death. As a result, many strong individuals from various tribes rely on external forces to resist the Heavenly Tribulation during their breakthrough, thus achieving their goal. Such shortcuts, after undergoing countless years of research, do exist in many forms. However, these kinds of shortcuts often limit the promotion to higher levels after becoming a Demon King. Only those who have fully endured the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation and persisted can truly be called strong among Demon Kings. And the more formidable the bloodline, the more dangerous the Heavenly Tribulation they will encounter," the Blue Fox Auctioneer explained with an unusually lengthy preamble.

Without a doubt, this third-to-last item is related to surviving the Heavenly Tribulation.

"This item from the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain has been personally named the \'Stone of Refuge\' by the Heavenly Fox herself. Its function is that, if one fails during the breakthrough of the Heavenly Tribulation, it allows the preservation of the original level and grants a second chance to go through and overcome the Heavenly Tribulation. Only those who truly pass the Heavenly Tribulation understand the intensity of what they are facing. If one fails the baptism, death is certain. But the Stone of Refuge gives you a second chance, not only doubling the baptism but also retaining previous experiences, thus greatly enhancing the probability of passing based on one\'s own abilities. What it grants is not a second life, but the potential of the strong," it said.

As it spoke, the Blue Fox Auctioneer had already lifted the red cloth from the pushcart.

It was a necklace; the necklace itself was silver-white, adorned with numerous tiny white gemstones—clearly Destiny Stones. The pendant on the necklace was a silver-white gem emitting a faint silver halo. It was this gemstone that diluted the surrounding aura of misfortune.

This silver gemstone...

Tang San looked somewhat familiar with it, and the next moment, his spirit was struck, and he immediately recognized the origins of this item.

The Heaven Garden, within the petals, a lotus seed!

Yes, it was a lotus seed, but somehow, it appeared different from the one he remembered. It lacked the solidity that the other seed had given him. Yet the origin was certain; at least on the surface, it resembled that lotus seed, albeit seemingly devoid of a soul. Even so, it was enough to shock Tang San.

So, the function of that lotus seed was protection? To defend against the Heavenly Tribulation—the significance of this wasn\'t just simple luck anymore. It was essentially defying fate!

Good grief, to bring out such an item for auction, its value...

The three peaks that had always been tranquil were now bustling with noise at this moment.

Without question, this Stone of Refuge necklace would be among the top existence even on the Divine Object Auction Day, and yet it was brought out on the Spiritual Item Auction Day. Moreover, it was presented as the penultimate item and not the final showstopper, which made one ponder just how precious the following two items would be?

The Blue Fox Auctioneer didn\'t hurry, allowing the clamor to continue for a while, then slowly stated, "This item is extremely rare, even among the Fox Tribe. We shall start the bidding now, with the starting price: three thousand Elemental Coins. Each bid must increase by no less than a hundred Elemental Coins."

A starting bid of three thousand Elemental Coins, expensive? Absolutely not!

Tang San, once a Godking, couldn\'t have been clearer about the benefits this thing could bring. Being able to undergo Tribulation twice meant that one would experience two baptisms. What did the baptism of two Heavenly Tribulations mean?

The cleansing of the Heavenly Tribulation was a process of shedding the mortal body and transcending to sanctity. During this process, one\'s impurities would be refined, divine consciousness consolidated, and the body evolved. The whole process, though extremely dangerous, was also what distinguished the mortal from the God Rank. Once one successfully passed the Tribulation, they would reach the divine-ranked level, and their lifespan would be greatly increased. But as the Blue Fox Auctioneer said, the paths to divinity are different for different beings. There were those who managed to cheat their way through the Heavenly Tribulation, but such God Rank beings are utterly different from those who truly withstand it on their own merit.

Those who managed to cheat through the Tribulation wouldn\'t be able to progress any further; the Demon King was their final level. Their lifespan would also remain at the Demon King state. In contrast, those mighty beings who passed the Tribulation on their own merit were the ones truly capable of advancing further beyond.

Just like among Great Demon Emperors, their lifespans also varied. Some Great Demon Emperors could live four to five thousand years, while others only one to two thousand years. Why? Because of the difference in their foundation. And where does one\'s foundation come from? For those beyond deity level, undergoing Tribulation is perhaps the only opportunity to amass that foundation.

And this Stone of Refuge, giving a mighty being the chance to undergo Tribulation twice, what did that mean? It meant two baptisms, two opportunities to amass foundation. Not only was one almost certain to pass the Heavenly Tribulation, but how much more substantial would their foundation be after two accumulations compared to others at the same level?

Such benefits were surely immeasurable in terms of money. This was absolutely a divine tool! Especially for those strong beings with the bloodline of a Great Demon Emperor—it meant that their talented descendants within the clan would have an added layer of assurance for advancing to Great Demon Emperor!

Therefore, it was definitely worth it.

Zhang Haoxuan didn\'t send a message to Tang San to ask anything. The Stone of Refuge was useful to everyone, very useful, but affording it was another matter. Even if one sold the entire Redemption Organization, they probably couldn\'t purchase this truly divine artifact.

"Ten thousand!" A deep voice almost immediately ushered silence throughout the grand auction house.

Upon hearing this not too loud voice, it nearly struck all the bidders like a bolt from the blue. The overwhelming pressure made heaven and earth tremble. The voice came from the highest place!

Great Demon Emperor! Or, Heavenly Spirit Emperor!

Although it wasn\'t clear which one had arrived, the grandeur of the voice and the direction from which it came left no doubt about the identity of the presence.

For the sake of this Stone of Refuge, had a presence at the Great Demon Emperor Level personally taken action? Clearly, this was for the preparation of their offspring!

"Eleven thousand!" A somewhat cold voice echoed from another mountaintop.

No matter how covetous the bidders below were, as soon as the first voice spoke, they understood that this auction item was beyond their reach. The Stone of Refuge had attracted the personal participation of a being at the Great Demon Emperor Level. Only an Emperor could bid against an Emperor.

Tang San even instantly figured out why this item appeared here—it was very likely because more than one Emperor sought it from the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, and the Heavenly Fox couldn\'t decide whom to give it to. It was therefore put up for public, fair competition at the auction. The only question he had was why this auction item didn\'t appear on the final day of the Divine Object auction but rather on the first day. Why was that?

But in the next moment, a flash of insight crossed Tang San\'s mind, and it seemed he understood something.

The final day of the Divine Object auction would likely see the arrival of more Emperors. As for the Stone of Refuge, even an Emperor would be tempted, and more beings would participate in the bidding. The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox must have discussed it with the current two competitors to let the Stone of Refuge appear on the first day. Before other Emperors noticed, one of the two Emperors present could secure it.
