The sudden silence was abruptly shattered!
As the host of this auction, Mo Ziwen was primarily a lifestyle gamer. He had no knowledge or interest in the hidden conflicts between guilds. After taking a moment to gather his thoughts, he raised his voice to bring everyone back from their various statuses.
However, such a situation was rare, and the sudden display of competition among the top three guilds piqued the curiosity and anticipation of many players. Even though Mo Ziwen interrupted, deep down, they couldn't pull themselves away from the unfolding drama.
Ultimately, what brought all players back to the present was the auction item—
Before everyone was a magnificent heavy sword, measuring over one and a half meters in length, with a blade width of twenty centimeters. What was most striking was the dazzling layer of multicolored light that surrounded it.
Indeed, this was the unique radiance of a Celestial Artifact!
In an instant, the entire Auction Hall fell into an indescribable chaos… Moreover, this was definitely not an unfamiliar weapon. Opening the server-wide equipment leaderboard revealed that it held a solid fourth place, with a name that exuded power—Heaven-Defying Blade.
With Mo Ziwen's brief introduction, the specific attributes emerged—

**Attributes:** Each attack has a certain chance to trigger the Five Hit Combo, and when it successfully hits the target, it adds an additional Normal Attack against that target.
**Description:** It is said that this sword was forged from an extremely rare iron found deep in the Arctic Ocean, mixed with the essence of heaven and earth, and combined with various precious ores. After forty-nine days of intense smelting, and with the blood of the Unicorn Holy Beast as an offering, it became today’s Divine Weapon.

Next to it is a detailed explanation of two skills—
**Heaven-Defying Technique:** A passive skill that temporarily increases the user’s attack power by 30% and critical hit rate by 10%. It also temporarily reduces all skill cooldowns by 30%, lasting for 300 seconds; cooldown is 1800 seconds. This skill cannot be upgraded.
**Razor Slash:** An active skill that unleashes countless razor-sharp blades, dealing 150% physical damage to all hostile targets within a five-yard radius in a 45-degree cone in front of the user. It triggers a suppression effect, preventing counterattacks; cooldown is 300 seconds. This skill cannot be upgraded.

This was the heavy sword contributed by Sharp Blade Camp’s Captain Mondanqi, which Yi Tianchen had been killed by repeatedly tens of thousands of times.
In fact, along with this sword, there was also a piece of armor produced at the same time. After appraisal, it was kept by Li Tielong. It is also a level 60 Celestial Artifact, currently ranked fifth on the Server-wide equipment leaderboard, with exceptionally robust defensive attributes.
After seeing the specific attributes of the Heaven-Defying Blade, the entire venue fell silent once again. Such a powerful Celestial Artifact level weapon would surely stir anyone’s heart. The issue lies in the high strength requirements for using a Heavy Weapon, which would reduce agility for ordinary players.
However, for a Berserker, it is incredibly suitable…
When it was first appraised, Yi Tianchen even thought about Hero Does Not Question Origin and Not a Master, but these two preferred axes and great swords respectively, showing no interest at all. After much contemplation, he decided to bring it out as one of the highlights for the auction.
Soon, Mo Ziwen’s voice rang out again…
“As one of the listed weapons, I believe many friends present are familiar with this sword, a Celestial Artifact… with dual skill attachments; there’s no need for me to elaborate further. Its starting bid is 10,000 gold coins, with increments of 500 gold coins. The auction officially begins now!”
The bidding officially commenced, and voices echoed throughout the hall without end.
“30,000 gold…”
Soon, the price was raised to a staggering 30,000 gold coins, but for such a powerful Celestial Artifact, this price was rather pitifully low.
"100,000!"
After about ten minutes, the price officially broke through the 100,000 mark, yet there was no sign of it slowing down. Although each person's bid increment was not large, the frequency of bidding was rapid. In just a few minutes, the price reached a new height once again.
"200,000!"
"220,000!"
It must be said that there were indeed many wealthy individuals present. Incrementing by hundreds was meaningless; only bids in the thousands could truly showcase that extravagant spirit.
"300,000!"
Another wealthy bidder joined the fray. Yi Tianchen quickly checked the information and found that this was yet another prominent figure.
Box 32, Ancient City Guild President, Ancient City Fallen Leaves!
As a member of the Server-wide Level Rankings, Ancient City Fallen Leaves was known for being low-key. Moreover, he was also a well-known expert ranked thirty-ninth on the Dream Celebrity Rankings. Although he was in Southern Wilderness City like Yi Tianchen and his group, they had hardly crossed paths.
"400,000!"
Mo Ziwen promptly took over the announcement, excitedly stating, "400,000 from Box 19! Is there anyone willing to bid higher than 400,000? This is a dual-skill Celestial Artifact; once this opportunity is gone, it won't come back! Friends who are interested should quickly grab your bidding device and enter your bid..."
"450,000!"
Once again from Ancient City Fallen Leaves... But shortly after his bid came in, Box 19 raised the stakes again: "460,000!"
"470,000!"
Ancient City Fallen Leaves decisively responded. However, both sides were clearly nearing their limits; they were no longer increasing their bids by just a few thousand. Suddenly, Box 19 fell silent without making an immediate counteroffer.
"470,000. The current price for Box 32 is 470,000. Is there any bid higher than this..." Mo Ziwen paused as the bidding slowed down, trying various temptations. When those failed to entice further bids, he began the countdown. "470,000 once, 470,000 twice, 470,000..."
"500,000!"
Box 19 erupted with an astonishing bid. Mo Ziwen quickly switched gears. "500,000! Box 19 bids 500,000. Is there any bid higher than this... 500,000! Friends who are interested should not hesitate any longer; quickly place your bids!"
"550,000!"
Once again from Box 32, Ancient City Fallen Leaves... It seemed that Ancient City Fallen Leaves had made quite a commitment, calling out a high price of 550,000 in one breath.
At the same time, a sigh echoed from Box 19!
As expected, no one continued to bid after that. After a series of ineffective temptations from Mo Ziwen, the auction hammer finally fell, and he officially announced, "Congratulations to the friends in Box 32 for winning the fourth-ranked dual-skill Celestial Artifact—Heaven-Defying Blade—for 550,000!"
"Alright! Now for the final ranked item..."
