The auction of the Imperial Essence Ascension Pill continued amidst the heightened excitement and rivalry between the experts.
"One billion and six hundred million!"
"One billion and eight hundred million!"
The bids kept escalating, surpassing imaginations. Many experts had reached their limits and dropped out of the competition. Only three bidders remained: the Martial Lord, Shi Tian, and an unknown expert from a private room on the third floor.
Eventually, it came down to a fierce duel between the Martial Lord and Shi Tian. With each bid, the tension in the auction hall intensified.
"Two billion!" Shi Tian announced.
The Martial Lord hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and raising his bid. "Two billion and one hundred million!"
A hush fell over the crowd as they witnessed this intense rivalry unfold. The atmosphere in the auction hall had reached boiling point.
