Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The Heavenly Fox Clan's control over Luck is well-known to be incredibly powerful. The Bead of Misfortune, the reverse of the Heavenly Fox, is undoubtedly a divine tool among divine tools.

Imagine, if during battle, one used the Bead of Misfortune to inflict misfortune on an opponent, especially misfortune at the Great Demon King Level, how could the opponent continue to fight? They would probably not even be able to exert half of their own strength. And this is considering an opponent of the same Great Demon King Level. If one were to face a lower-level opponent, they would likely be directly devoured by the misfortune.

"However, I need to make clear the issues with it itself. This Bead of Misfortune was created after careful consideration, having consumed a vast amount of my mental energy. Fundamentally, it was still hoped that this power of misfortune could be resolved. Hence, during the process of using the Bead of Misfortune, it is essentially devouring luck, and as Time passes, the more luck it devours, the more misfortune will be gradually purified; therefore, it is a divine tool that will weaken over time. At the same time, if the user carries it for too long, especially if they do not devour enough Power of Luck to suppress the internal misfortune for a long time, there's a risk of backlash. This must be treated with the utmost caution. However, it is currently in its prime state."

As he spoke, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox extended his right foot and lightly tapped on the ground in front of him. Immediately, a large white magic array rapidly expanded from under his foot, and a powerful suction force seemed to be birthed from beneath, attracting the fierce clouds of misfortune in the sky to converge towards him like rivers to the sea.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox raised his hand, and a milky-white, pigeon-egg-sized bead appeared in his palm. The pitch-black streams of air swarmed into it, and soon, the originally milky-white gemstone turned ink-black.

Without doubt, this was the Bead of Misfortune!

This was certainly one of the most top-notch and exotic divine tools.

Inside VIP Room No.8, Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly as he observed the Bead of Misfortune. So, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had also realized the side effects of excessively accumulating Luck, but it was unknown when this Bead of Misfortune had been refined. Even so, it still continually brought misfortune to all Races outside of Demon Monster Land. Wasn't the plague in the Endless Blue Ocean a result of this?

He sure had a clever strategy! Possessing this Bead of Misfortune would undoubtedly greatly enhance the holder, and in the upcoming Kingly Domain War, they would inevitably gain a considerable advantage. During the battle, as misfortune is released, Great Demon Kings who are beings with dense Luck would use it to neutralize the Energy within the Bead of Misfortune. Since the Heavenly Fox Clan will not participate in the Kingly Domain War, it naturally has nothing to do with them. But once plagued by misfortune and draining Luck, this will not just end after a match; it will have a prolonged impact. Indeed, this is a very malicious divine tool.

If the Bead of Misfortune is used enough times during the Kingly Domain War, the misfortune within will be greatly reduced, and the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox himself will naturally be safe. Yes, it is about his own safety.

Creating this Bead of Misfortune must have been based on the Luck of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox himself, and only with his Cultivation base could he control such immense misfortune. In fact, if this misfortune isn't resolved in time, the one who truly faces backlash would be the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox himself.

Ideally, he should acquire this divine tool himself and then keep it, waiting for it to backlash against the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. But after some thought, Tang San realized that he could not do so.

Whoever bids for the Bead of Misfortune will certainly receive the "close attention" of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, being monitored at all times, even being urged to use it. He cannot afford to be targeted by him now. Therefore, no matter what, Tang San cannot possess this entity directly.

Let him do as he intends. In the end, it's the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan's Luck that is being reduced.

"The starting bid is still 30,000 Purple Crystal Coins, with each increment not less than 1,000 Purple Crystal Coins. The bidding starts now."

Onstage, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox announced the start of the auction.

"Thirty thousand Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room Number One." The first to initiate the auction was actually the Heavenly Fox Clan themselves.

"Thirty-one thousand Purple Crystal Coins, Room Six." The Behemoth Clan had made another move.

Coming to the last three items, all the major strong races started to participate in the auction without any reservations.

In VIP Room Number Eleven, under the persuasion of the Peacock princess, the Pretty Girl hesitated about whether to join the bidding when suddenly a deep voice came into her ears, "Don't go for this one, it attracts karmic entanglements easily."

Hearing this voice, she immediately felt reassured and whispered something to her two mothers. She chose not to participate in the bidding.

The source of this voice was naturally not Tang San; Tang San would not use divine consciousness to directly transmit messages to her at this time, so as to avoid exposure. It was the voice of the Undying Great Demon Emperor. Among the emperors who had gone to the Polluted Yellow Sea with the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, he was one of them.

The bidding for the Bead of Misfortune didn't start off too intensely, with new bids coming in only every so often. However, gradually, the frequency of the bids began to increase.

More than half of the VIP rooms, even some powers outside of the VIP rooms, began to join the competition.

Although it didn't skyrocket in price by ten thousand increments like the light element spirite did before, the price of the Bead of Misfortune quickly rose above fifty thousand Purple Crystal Coins.

Under normal circumstances, this powerful divine tool would indeed cause much apprehension due to the risk of backlash. However, with the Emperor Claiming Battle about to begin, there really was no time to worry about these issues. Possessing this divine tool would be of tremendous help in the battle. Whereas the previous light element spirite could only be used by beings of the light property, the Bead of Misfortune does not discriminate against any race. Moreover, for those whose strength is insufficient and seeking an opportunity in the battle, this divine tool becomes even more important.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was indeed shrewd; by auctioning such an item at this moment, not only could he earn a fortune, but he could also rid himself of the trouble of misfortune. Taking advantage of the Emperor Claiming Battle, allowing many strong contenders to share this misfortune means it would not fall upon the Heavenly Fox Clan alone, achieving two goals with one action.

Tang San was only watching coolly this time, silently observing as the Bead of Misfortune, the third-to-last item, was being auctioned. After it, there were still two more items, undoubtedly the closer to the end, the higher their value. If it weren't for him, the light element spirite would not have reached such a high price. Although the Bead of Misfortune did not start with high bids, there were far more participants in the auction, making its final price hard to predict.

As he predicted, the auction for the Bead of Misfortune lasted a very long time, with the price continuously creeping up. Not until it surpassed the eighty-thousand Purple Crystal Coin mark did the number of participants start to dwindle. Interestingly, it was the participants in the VIP rooms who began to bow out, while three bidders outside the VIP rooms continued to be involved. Setting aside where they got their money from, one could not deny that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the common folk – to be able to amass such wealth.

One hundred thousand, the auction price for the Bead of Misfortune finally surpassed one hundred thousand. It truly was a powerful divine tool capable of changing the course of battle, with a chance worth betting on. In the end, the Bead of Misfortune was sold for one hundred and fifteen thousand Purple Crystal Coins, not to any major strong race from the VIP rooms, but to an unknown other bidder. One hundred and fifteen thousand Purple Crystal Coins! This was the highest price of the day, indeed surpassing the price of the light element spirite.

"Brother, why didn't we participate in the bidding for this item?" Jin Miaosen asked Tang San.
