Chapter 581: Priceless Mortal Artifact
Magic City, Central City, Champs Elysees Auction House.
At this moment, the largest auction house in the Magic City was bustling with people. Many high-end carriages were coming and going, and demon nobles in bright and beautiful clothes kept arriving. They were all extremely wealthy demons in the upper circle of the Magic City.
After three days of public opinion fermentation, the news of the arrival of a third-level alien primordial demon has become known to everyone. There are tens of millions of demons living in the huge Demon City. Unless the news is too isolated, basically everyone knows about the trophy auction.
The gold, silver, pearls and jade brought by Chonglou were said to be miraculous.
Some people say that it is stained with the breath of the most pious priest in the mortal world. Just smelling it up close can loosen the class bottleneck. If you are lucky, you can even break through on the spot!
Some people also said that these gold, silver, pearls and jade were the most precious treasures in the mortal world, and that they were looted by the third-order primordial demon, who even slaughtered many believers of the gods for them!
What's more, it is said that those who obtain this gold, silver, pearls and jade will have their bones transformed on the spot, and their aptitude will be like the nirvana of a phoenix or the metamorphosis of a magic dragon, and they will have the opportunity to break through to the realm of the devil!
It's not that the demons like to spread rumors, but the treasures from the mortal world do have such magical effects, especially those personal items from believers of gods. They may not have any effect in the mortal world, but once they come to the demon world, they will become as powerful as divine weapons.
In the tens of thousands of years of history of the demon world, there have been countless records about the miraculous uses of objects from the mortal world, and countless demon lords and demon kings have benefited from them.
A demon who had been stuck in the realm of God and Demon Envoy for decades, successfully broke through to Demon Lord after only wearing a necklace from the mortal world for a few days...
A demon king who was about to die of old age accidentally obtained the heart of an elf priest from the mortal world. After eating it, he gained a huge amount of vitality like a dead tree coming back to life...
A bottle of blood from a high-ranking priest in the mortal world successfully cleansed a demon child with low qualifications. He, who could only cultivate to the level of a demon envoy at most, actually had a chance to break through to the level of a demon lord...
The extraordinary effects of breaking class bottlenecks, extending the lifespan of demons, changing the root bones and qualifications, etc. make the things in the mortal world sought after by all demons. They are truly priceless treasures, which is why the dimensional door is so precious!
But compared to the dimensional door, isn't the demon channel more convenient for plundering the mortal world? And every demon king has the ability to open the demon channel.
It is true. As long as the demon passage is opened next to the dimensional gate, people can freely enter and exit the demon and mortal worlds. However, in the past ten thousand years, almost no demon kings dared to do so, unless they were tired of living.
Emperor Kui ten thousand years ago is the most classic example. As a fifth-order original demon, he was the only master of the Demon City at that time. He was ambitious and opened the demon passage immediately after discovering the dimensional door. He led an army of tens of thousands of demons to plunder the mortal world.
And then...then Emperor Kui disappeared inexplicably, along with the tens of thousands of demon troops under his command. All of them disappeared without even a corpse. At the other end of the mortal world was the Kingdom of Suville, but there were only the corpses of mortal soldiers there.
This directly frightened the other demons who stayed in the Demon City at that time, so they closed the demon passages and built cemeteries there to mourn Emperor Kui and the tens of thousands of demon lords under his command, but more importantly, it was a warning to those who came later.
This is the record of Di Kui, the fifth-order original demon. It is the information Chonglou found in the library of Demon City. No one knows how Di Kui and his army of demons disappeared. The truth was buried in the robbery ten thousand years ago.
Bai Hao was not satisfied with this vague truth. Perhaps the demon kings in the Demon City knew other secrets, or perhaps only God knew the truth of this matter.
This also leads to the fact that artifacts from the mortal world are extremely scarce in the demon world, and currently there are only three ways to bring artifacts from the mortal world to the demon world.
The first one is to do as Chonglou did before, first find a dimensional door by great luck, then infiltrate his demonic power into it, and seduce a mortal in the mortal world to become a puppet, so as to send those extremely precious mortal world objects in.
The second type is the original demon like Kenquil who was born in the mortal world. He was born by the desires and evil thoughts of mortals. Although he is a demon, he belongs to the mortal world in a sense. He can open demon passages in the mortal world at will, and naturally he can also bring mortal objects into the demon world.
The third type is more common. Some curious mortals walk into the demon world on their own after discovering the dimensional door. Since the dimensional door is a one-way door from the mortal world to the demon world, those mortals who enter the demon world can never go back.
It is almost impossible for creatures from the mortal world to survive in the demon world. The aura of the mortal world is extremely strong on them. Whether it is the demons or the monsters without intelligence, they can almost recognize mortals immediately and then kill them cruelly.
No demon could bear not to kill a living mortal creature, just like a hungry man encountering a feast, a miser encountering a piece of gold on the road, or a lustful person encountering a naked beauty.
Therefore, Bai Hao always felt that the story of Isurna's ancestor was a bit mysterious. He should have entered the demon world through the dimensional gate, and then returned to the mortal world through the demon passage.
There is nothing wrong with this in itself, but in this process, he didn't encounter a single demon. His luck was almost as good as Yula's.
Chonglou was in a very high-class state at this moment. With his hands behind his back, wearing gold and silver jewelry, he flew slowly over the Champs Elysees auction house with a calm expression. The most eye-catching thing was his tattered robe stained with blood. Everyone who noticed him held their breath for a moment.
Because the blood on Chonglou's tattered robes was not his own, but that of creatures in the mortal world, and definitely not the blood of ordinary mortals. The rich scent that intoxicated the demons came 100% from those devout priests!
The demons near the Champs Elysees auction house all had red eyes, disordered breathing, and expressions full of desire. Although their noble etiquette prevented them from doing anything shameful, if Chonglou flew down and brought his robe close for them to smell, no demon would be able to remain calm.
Chonglou's face was slightly red at this time, and his breathing and heartbeat were much faster than usual. This was the result of Bai Hao casting several spells to calm the mind and soul. Otherwise, Chonglou would probably be drooling and looking silly.
After all, he was just a low-level demon and could not resist the temptation of the bloody robe.
