The Primordial Chaos Sovereign Auction Hall resembled an inverted colosseum carved from solid, smoky quartz.
Rings of gilded balconies climbed eighty tiers into the vaulted crystal dome, each tier shielded by shimmering privacy wards.
Down in the amphitheater pit, three thousand velvet-lined seats were packed with sect masters, merchant oligarchs, and roving cultivators from across the Upper Heavens.
High above the amphitheater in VIP Box One, Young Sovereign Jinye slammed his bruised fists onto a table of carved star-jade.
“I tell you, he has an unlimited line of liquid coin!” Jinye hissed, his eyes bloodshot. “He bought the Emperor Robe, fifty dragon-scale bags, thirty grandmaster timepieces, and then foreclosed on the entire Myriad-Sovereign Pavilion! He tossed Elder Qian into horse manure like an empty sack!”
Sitting across the table, Young Sovereign Xue Sha chuckled coldly.
Xue Sha swirled a goblet of dark dragon-blood wine, his crimson bangs falling across his pale forehead.
