Chapter 2102 - 1929: Another Bet!

Star Blue Silver naturally has distinctive golden patterns, which have always been the prominent features for identifying Star Blue Silver Essence.

All of this becomes apparent, this is definitely not ordinary Star Blue Silver, but rather Star Blue Silver Essence!

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone finally truly understood that what lay before them was far from ordinary Star Blue Silver, it was the far more precious Star Blue Silver Essence.

Whenever a divine material has an additional "Essence" character, its value multiplies greatly.

Take Xuanhuang Essence for instance, no matter how high the value of ordinary Xuanhuang Stone is, it is limited, but Xuanhuang Essence is priceless; like the previous Xuanhuang Essence cut by the Silver Sky Royal Family, though only palm-sized, it was worth over a billion!

The value of Star Blue Silver Essence can’t possibly compare to the Mystical Realm, but such Star Blue Silver Essence is akin to the Spiritual Origin among Spirit Stones, both are supreme treasures, appearing about the size of a baby’s fist but valued far beyond even that of a human head-sized Star Blue Silver.

"Star Blue Silver Essence, though not as valuable as Xuanhuang Essence, can still move the hearts of even Nine Tribulations Realm’s unparalleled strongmen. Despite being only the size of a baby’s fist, its value probably approaches fifty million."

The Old Immortal from the Silver Sky Royal Family exclaimed in surprise.

A Chaos Primordial Stone worth six million produced a Star Blue Silver Essence valued at fifty million, this time the Red-scaled Demon Dragon clan truly struck gold, one could say they recouped all previous losses at once.

And it can be said that the estimation of being worth fifty million pounds of Spirit Stone is merely an appraisal, yet such rare divine materials often are priceless in the market, their actual value only higher not lower.

Several Emperor’s sons and daughters focused intently, the Longevity Emperor Clan’s strongmen widened their eyes, some elders displayed astounded expressions, evidently not expecting such a rare divine item to be cut open again.

Fortunately, it’s not as valuable as Xuanhuang Essence, so they were merely surprised.

However, all the family strongmen of Luotian Royal Family wore sour expressions, especially Luo Yingu, whose face turned as dark as water, not anticipating such a priceless treasure truly being cut open.

Elder Luodun stood stunned, also wearing a solemn face, after all, his failure before a young lad isn’t great for his reputation as a renowned stone appraisal master when the word gets out.

Guu Jiuhua burst into laughter, clasped his fists in feigned apology towards Luo Yingu, "Luo Yingu, apologies, we carelessly won, disappointed you, and furthermore require you to settle the account and hand over that clump of Divine Spiritual Origin, truly embarrassing."

Luo Yingu snorted coldly but dared not be unsportsmanlike in front of so many people, promptly handing over nearly thirty million pounds of Divine Spiritual Origin, each radiant clump appeared, drawing smiles from Longevity Emperor Clan’s strongmen who relished these stone gambling games.

The Luotian Royal Family people wore astonishingly sour expressions, including Ancient Luo King Luo Wusheng.

Emperor’s sons and daughters fixated their gaze on Ye Chen, Hua Chengdao’s eyes were compelling, Brahma Emperor’s son showed intrigue, others watched with interest.

Ye Chen handed the Star Blue Silver Essence to Guu Jiuhua, who dared not take it but accepted three million pounds of Spiritual Origin from the other party, then said, "This is something cut open by you, so it should belong to you."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, understanding the gratitude of the other party, balancing the Star Blue Silver Essence, considering it as his reward, intending to cut more stones to repay the favor later.

Currently, it sums up as a draw, none being ahead.

Moreover, to the crowd, Ye Chen seemingly struck lucky by picking out a Chaos Primordial Stone containing Star Blue Silver Essence, prompting Luo Yingu and Elder Luodun to decide on another challenge.

"Guu Jiuhua, dare you challenge Luotian Royal Family again?" declared Luo Yingu bluntly.

"This—"

Guu Jiuhua hesitated to look at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded, "Alright."

"But this time let’s enhance the stakes; losing just means covering the other’s expense and giving the cut treasure is somewhat lacking. Why don’t we escalate matters, with the losing party handing over all previously gained treasures as well, how’s that?" supplemented Luo Yingu, chuckling.

Yet everyone perceived Luo Yingu clearly coveting Ye Chen’s cut Star Blue Silver Essence.

Guu Jiuhua’s expression changed, sinking in mood.

Ye Chen remained expressionless.

The opponent was exceedingly unscrupulous; earlier, only two clumps of Divine Spiritual Origin were cut, with the largest losing to Ye Chen, and another treasure was given to Emperor Hua Chengdao as Dragon Energy.

As Emperor Clan, not even Three Thousand Royal Families dared ask back.

Hence, this was an absolute trap.

Luo Yingu sneered maliciously, "What’s wrong? Afraid, say so if you dare not."

"Despicable, master should not," responded Guu Jiuhua, recognizing Luo Yingu’s nefarious intention to use provocation, typically if the challenged opponent does not respond, one might indeed undermine their Dao Heart.

The journey of cultivation stresses forward progression and refusal to yield.

Ye Chen looked at Luo Yingu and said lightly, "Hmm, I don’t dare."

The entire hall fell silent, filled with astonishment.

No one expected Ye Chen to admit so simply and directly that he dared not, leaving a stiff smile on Luo Yingu’s face, an unexpected scene for all present.

Several Emperor’s sons and daughters turned their eyes, showing a greater interest.

Luo Yingu’s gaze bore straight into Ye Chen, saying, "As the young generation, we should forge ahead bravely and not admit fear. How will you compete for the ’Supreme’ Immortal Fate in the future?"

Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged, speaking plainly, "Your provocation is useless unless your Luotian Royal Family has a celestial treasure valued like the Star Blue Silver Essence. Otherwise, don’t bother with empty talk and get lost. Wanting to gamble my Star Blue Silver Essence without paying a price makes your Luotian Royal Family nothing but a toad wishing to eat swan meat."

"Pfft—"

Many dignitaries in the Longevity Hall were amused by Ye Chen’s metaphor, likening one of the three thousand royal families to a toad wanting to eat swan meat was indeed a pitiful comparison.

Several Emperor’s sons kept straight faces, while an Emperor’s daughter gave a sweet smile, as radiant as the spring breeze.

Luo Yingu’s clansmen looked displeased, and Luo Yingu himself chastised, "Youngster, you dare insult my Luotian Royal Family, courting death!"

He emitted a forceful aura directly targeting Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s face darkened, and the three Supreme Heavenly Talents beside him were ready to act. If Luo Yingu dared attack their master, they wouldn’t hesitate to eradicate all Luotian Royal Family members.

At this moment, Emperor Changsheng stepped forward, effortlessly repelling Luo Yingu’s threatening aura, his smile slightly restrained: "This is the Longevity Hall, no fighting."

His mild words carried a warning.

Luo Yingu’s expression froze, quickly apologizing, "Please forgive me, Your Highness Emperor, for my rashness."

Emperor Changsheng nodded, then turned to give Ye Chen a deep look without saying anything, slowly backing away.

Luo Yingu stared coldly at Ye Chen, speaking icily, "Boy, what do you truly want?"

Ye Chen replied, "It’s not about what I want. It’s about your unrealistic expectations. Wanting to gamble my Star Blue Silver Essence without paying any price is foolish. Better go home instead of embarrassing yourself here."

When Ye Chen spoke, it was piercing and direct, targeting the crux.

Luo Yingu’s face turned cold, realizing his earlier words lacked wisdom, he said, "Fine, in that case, my Luotian Royal Family is willing to wager this Sky-reaching Horn as a stake."

With that, he produced a jet-black long horn, one zhang long, enveloped in mysterious blood-colored patterns, emitting an eerie and menacing aura, as if it belonged to a peerless Demon Lord in life.

"This comes from a Nine Tribulations Realm Primordial Ancient Beast of the First Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain during its transformation, the Sky-reaching Horn, naturally inscribed with Dao Patterns capable of piercing typical Great Power Level armor."

The audience showed interest, as this was the long horn of a Nine Tribulations Realm supreme existence, even shed during transformation, was extraordinary.

The old Great Power from the Longevity Emperor Clan evaluated it and verified its authenticity, valuing it over sixty million, pricier than the Star Blue Silver Essence.

Immediately, Luo Yingu invited Elder Luodun, "Please, elder, punish the wrongdoer!"

"Alright!"

Previously losing to Ye Chen, an infamous younger generation member, Elder Luodun felt disgraced, thus approached this task with greater caution, finally deploying real skills.

As Elder Luodun stepped forward, Dao Patterns formed beneath his feet, swiftly weaving over the area like lightning.

Boom boom boom—

With a visible eye, as Dao Patterns intertwined, the once calm Chaos Primordial Stones underwent astounding transformations, rising slowly and shimmering with light radiance, catching attention.

Among them, some Chaos Primordial Stones originally unusual in appearance began emanating anomalous light radiance, accompanied by strange phenomena such as dragon roars, phoenix cries, and colossal bird calls, drawing attention.

"Look, those Chaos Primordial Stones, could they all contain genuine treasures?"

Many great forces exclaimed, with some expressing interest, wanting to purchase.

But Ye Chen’s expression showed some gravity for the first time, recognizing the remarkable skill of Elder Luodun, whose stone appraisal methods were astonishing and worth noticing.

Elder Luodun moved swiftly, traversing many Chaos Primordial Stones, his eyes shining like twin suns, constantly scanning and finally locking onto a Chaos Primordial Stone exhibiting Flying Immortal attributes, examining it closely.
