Chapter 543: The Feast Begins!
He vaguely felt that his offering this time might not be substantial enough.
So he wanted to compel all parties to reveal their offerings early.
If his own offering was truly insufficient, he would secretly send a message, urging the demon clan under his command to quickly bring in a group of the Human Clan!
As long as the weight of his gift increased before the descendant of Kang Jinlong arrived, then this myriad-spirit Human Pill should have a share for him.
Subsequently, it was the turn of each evil being and the descendants of gods and demons to present their offerings.
Most of the offerings were based on the Human Clan.
The overall quantity of the Human Clan presented determined the weight of the gift.
Among the Human Clan, how many Martial Artists, how many in the Refining Essence Realm, how many in the Qi Refining Realm, how many in the Refining God Realm... The weight differed greatly.
Consuming one person in the Refining God Realm was equivalent to consuming tens of thousands of ordinary Human Clan members.
"..."
Lin Yan's expression remained unchanged.
He had long understood that the Human Clan had become the currency of this era.
Actually, it was the same in later generations; for powerful evils, the Human Clan they reared was their wealth... It was their blood food, incense, and the currency for trade!
The Refining God Realm was a priceless Supreme Treasure, the Qi Refining Realm was gold, the Refining Essence Realm was silver, and ordinary Human Clan members were nothing more than copper coins.
This offering, so to speak, was like presenting real gold and silver.
Thus, the Earth Official of the Plague Department was exceedingly delighted, showing a satisfied expression.
Additionally, besides the fixed "currency" like the Human Clan, there were various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and even fragmented artifacts of the Immortal Gods...
A leopard-type Heavenly Demon calculated for a moment, believing his gift should rank among the top ten.
But in the assembly, there were still two who hadn't yet presented their gifts.
He was resolved not to reveal his cards easily, so he looked towards Shangguan Shang, aiming to goad him with words.
"..."
Shangguan Shang naturally saw through the leopard-type Heavenly Demon's scheme, with his expression unchanged, he looked at the descendant of Qiongqi beside him.
Through the earlier detail of refusing to drink the poisoned wine, he was fully confident in confirming that this descendant of Qiongqi, even if not Lin Yan, was no longer the original descendant of Qiongqi.
He knew that the leopard-type Heavenly Demon definitely wanted to drag it out till the end, forcing him and Qiongqi to lay out their gift lists to evaluate their weight.
"It's highly possible that Qiongqi is Lin Yan, so I can't pass this off anymore."
Thinking so, Shangguan Shang reached into his arms, took out an item, placed it on the table, and said, "This is the Dragon Ball that fell from the sky back then. That Dragon Beard Tiger, once a mere mortal, became comparable to gods and demons with this Dragon Ball!"
"..."
The numerous evil beings and descendants of gods and demons all had intense gazes.
This was the Dragon Ball, which legend held was the foundation of a True Dragon!
Especially the blue-scaled man who had obtained flood dragon remains, faced with the True Dragon's Dragon Ball, his entire body trembled continuously.
In his eyes was the fear of a flood dragon facing a True Dragon.
But deep in his eyes, there was more greed.
If he could obtain this True Dragon Treasure Bead, he might advance further, the strength of his bloodline reaching a complete flood dragon form!
No, he could be even more pure than the original flood dragon!
He would then be able to transform into a dragon form!
Currently, he was only considered medium grade within the lower bloodlines.
But as soon as he consumed this Dragon Ball, he could at least be the top of the medium bloodlines… Maybe, if this Dragon Ball was powerful enough, he might be able to step into the upper bloodlines with the might of a True Dragon, becoming an upper Ninth Grade descendant of gods and demons!
Even if he were an acquired god or demon, not from the innate direct lineage, it would at least be a place in the upper levels!
"Roar!!!"
The blue-scaled man suddenly lunged forward, fast as the wind, directly reaching for the Dragon Ball!
"..."
Even Shangguan Shang was somewhat caught off guard.
He knew that evil beings and descendants of gods and demons were extremely prone to madness.
But he didn't expect them to go as far as directly snatching away in front of many evil beings and gods and demons!
And they were trying to snatch this treasure offered to the Earth Official of the Plague Department!
"This is my domain!"
The Earth Official of the Plague Department said fiercely!
"..."
The blue-scaled man could not care much anymore, his desire came from a madness of instinct, driving him straight towards Shangguan Shang!
And around Shangguan Shang, a large expanse of flames appeared, restraining the blue-scaled man.
Yet at this moment, a blade light suddenly appeared!
The assembly was immediately in an uproar!
All evil beings and gods and demons were extremely vigilant!
The previous move by the blue-scaled man didn't pose a significant threat!
But the sharpness within this blade light filled them with fear, urging them to exhibit their skills to strictly guard against it.
In a flash of blade light, the blue-scaled man's body split in two!
"A human, possessed of flood dragon bones, is so arrogant, death is not pity!"
The descendant of Qiongqi said, standing up slowly, his wings spreading.
And the blade just now had unexpectedly flown out from under his wings.
"This is a weapon of the Ancient Immortal Gods! Qiongqi… how can you possess it?"
The Earth Official of the Plague Department showed a grave expression.
"It was acquired incidentally."
Qiongqi replied thus.
But the evil beings and gods and demons present were extremely vigilant out of fear, clearly disbelieving and full of suspicion.
Yet at this moment, Qiongqi's gaze fell upon Shangguan Shang again, sneering, "Over the years, some of the divine power in the Dragon Ball has integrated into Dragon Beard Tiger's body, with more of it having passed with the flow of time, almost rendering it an empty shell, and this is considered a treasure?"
"Even an empty shell, when used in alchemy, is still an exceedingly precious Supreme Treasure!"
Shangguan Shang raised his eyebrows, saying this with a displeased tone.
"Indeed, indeed, this Dragon Ball… I am exceedingly satisfied with it."
The Earth Official of the Plague Department said thus, yet kept a close eye on Qiongqi.
"But compared to my blade, how does it fare?"
Said Qiongqi thus.
