Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1740 - 849: Ruins Market Ultra-Grade Transaction

Within the interior of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Song Chi had completely isolated the zone containing the totem pillars since the market's manifestation. His attention was currently locked onto the three Dao Origin Totem Poles standing before him.

A stark change was visible; one of the three Dao Origin Totem Poles had turned entirely dark, its surface no longer shimmering with even a hint of the faint Dao rules.

"Time for a test..."

Whispering under his breath, he gestured with his hand to circulate the Spectral Energy within his body. He carefully drew out a tiny fragment—roughly one ten-thousandth—from the droplet of Time Source Liquid he held.

Guided by his Spectral Energy, this microscopic portion of Time Source Liquid drifted slowly toward the extinguished Dao Origin Totem Pole.

[Name: Dao Origin Totem Pole]

[Status: Origin Depleted]

[Cooldown Time: 9989 years]

...

Watching with absolute focus, Song Chi immediately detected a shift in the Dao Origin Totem Pole's attributes. That mere ten-thousandth of Time Source Liquid had successfully shaved 10 years off the cooldown duration.

This confirmed that the Time Source Liquid's efficacy extended beyond Starry Sea Oddities to include the Dao Origin Totem Pole as well.

Song Chi felt a surge of exhilaration upon verifying this result.

He had previously exhausted this Dao Origin Totem Pole to repel three mythical entities. Although he had felt a pang of regret at the time, it was now clear that the decision had been immensely profitable.

Even so, he didn't rush to expend more Time Source Liquid to reset the Dao Origin Totem Pole. While only one percent of the liquid would be needed to fully restore it, such a substance was far more precious than a Time Source Crystal. It was a rare treasure that shouldn't be squandered lightly.

Furthermore, two of the three Dao Origin Totem Poles remained functional, which was sufficient to handle any sudden crises.

...

The Zhu Tian Ruins Market was teeming with life.

The arrival of the monthly trading day always transformed the market into a hub of activity.

However, today’s atmosphere in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market was several times more frenetic than usual. The source of this excitement was the Free Stall Area, where a Ninth Rank Peak Titan Giant from the Overlord Tribe was presiding over an exceptionally high-level free auction.

Just how prestigious was this auction?

Despite the Ninth Rank Titan offering only a single item, it radiated a brilliant seven-colored luminescence.

[Oddity: Origin Core]

[Quality: Colorful/Extreme]

[Convertible: {Origin Force Overload Engine}]

[Note: Created from the core of a minor star that fell upon the Mythical Origin Star; after being nourished by the Power of Origin for eons, it evolved into a Seven-Colored Mythical Wonder.]

...

Origin Force Overload Engine lv0

Quality: Colorful/Extreme

Feature 1: Engine energy supply efficiency boosted by 270%

Feature 2: Engine thrust increased by an additional 270%

Feature 3: Energy Pool capacity expanded threefold

Feature 4: Origin Force standby Energy Pool

Feature 5: Energy consumption reduced by 10% for all warship components of lower quality than this engine

Feature 6: Dual Engine

Feature 7: Overclocking Burst

Feature 8: Balanced State

Feature 9: Origin Rinse

...

Truthfully, even Song Chi felt a deep sense of longing for this extreme-grade colorful engine component.

Its attributes far surpassed the two engines currently fitted on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong. If he could secure it, the energy requirements for the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to evolve into a Mythical Immortal Ship—or even an Eleventh Rank Torch Warship—would be fully satisfied.

Regrettably, the payment demanded by the Ninth Rank Titan for this oddity was a price he could not meet.

"As I stated, I will only trade for resources that facilitate a breakthrough to the Tenth Rank Myth. Otherwise, do not waste my breath..."

Standing behind the trading dais in the heart of the Free Stall Area, the Ninth Rank Titan’s voice boomed like rolling thunder. A moment later, the hammer-shaped oddity glowing with seven-colored light was tossed back into its owner's grasp.

The entity attempting to trade for that seven-colored hammer was a Ninth Rank True Spirit Wizard from the Wizard Civilization’s Rule Tower, a being who had also reached the Ninth Rank Peak.

Though the seven-colored oddity he offered—the Heaven-shaking Divine Hammer—was incredibly valuable and perfectly suited for the physically dominant Titan race, it still failed to satisfy the Ninth Rank Titan of the Overlord Tribe.

Disappointed sighs rippled through the gathered alien races, and many powerful figures from advanced civilizations wore looks of frustration.

Resources capable of aiding a breakthrough to the Tenth Rank Myth were legendarily scarce. Even ancient superpowers would never trade such treasures easily.

Song Chi wasn't surprised by this development.

Such breakthrough resources were exceedingly rare; hadn't he spent years searching for them at high prices in his capacity as the Tanglang Hall Master of the Torch Civilization?

He, too, had come up empty-handed.

Just as he assumed this high-level transaction would end in failure, a sudden shift occurred.

The Ninth Rank Titan let out a deep growl, and a brilliant golden radiance flared within his palm once more.

[Oddity: Titan Ancestor Blood]

[Quality: Colorful/Lower Rank]

[Unique Effect: Contains the blood essence of the Overlord Tribe’s first Titan King, including a fragment of the Origin of the Rule of Power. It assists the user in comprehending and mastering the laws and rules of power.]

[Note: A unique treasure of the Overlord Tribe, preserved for eons, it has transitioned into a Mythical Wonder through the passage of time.]

Two treasures now hovered in the air simultaneously. The seven-colored Origin Core and the golden Titan Ancestor Blood glowed in tandem, sending a shockwave of awe through the entire market.

"I am adding this as well!"

The Ninth Rank Titan’s voice roared like thunder as his eyes scanned the surrounding crowd.
