The four Pavilion Masters at the gambling table were taken aback, none of them expecting Shen Yuan to propose such a contest condition.

After a moment, a loud burst of laughter erupted throughout the entire Gambling Pavilion.

The Treasure House Master’s body rolled with laughter, shaking with a sound that was deafening. The Magical Artifacts House Master’s cold expression had now completely transformed into one of pity, his sharp laughter akin to piercing one’s eardrums.

The Master of the Calculation Pavilion was both laughing and coughing, his skeletal frame appearing as if it might collapse at any moment.

As for the Gambling House Master, he was already bending over in uncontrollable laughter, unaware of the wound that had been torn open beneath his makeup.

The laughter, akin to the mournful wails of a ghost, gradually ceased. The Treasure House Master rubbed his slightly stiff face and declared without any hesitation:

“I’ll take the bet.”

“I, the Magical Artifacts House Master, will also bet with you.”

“Under the heavens, there is nothing that I cannot calculate. I want to see what is giving you this confidence, I’ll bet with you!”

The Gambling House Master, by now, didn’t care about the wound on his face anymore. With a charming smile, he said:

“In that case, let the games begin.”

“Who shall go first in the first round?”

Just as the Treasure House Master was about to speak, the Magical Artifacts House Master stood up first.

“I’ll go.”

As he spoke, the Magical Artifacts House Master waved his hand and a large number of bookshelves rose from the flat ground around the table. The ancient style bamboo and jade strips appeared in the gambling arena, almost filling the entire Gambling Pavilion.

Countless words occupied Shen Yuan’s field of vision, while the Gambling House Master stood proudly in the air with a bamboo strip in hand.

With a flick of his right hand, a large amount of bamboo and jade strips ascended into the sky, accompanied by a few dozen exquisite jade tokens that glittered with a dazzling light.

“The Ghost Market has been established for thousands of years, and my Magical Artifacts House has controlled the trade of Divine Arts in the Ghost Market. Over these thousands of years, we’ve handled no less than a million different spells.

“On these shelves, there are a total of ninety-seven thousand derived low- grade spell and improved spell techniques, fourteen thousand mid-grade spells, and eight hundred ninety-two high-grade spells.”

“Moreover, there are three hundred and twenty Divine Capacity Seeds of Extraordinary Divine Power, seventeen Divine Capacity Seeds of Profound Divine Power, and eight lower-order Divine Powers derived from Earth Fiend Divine Power.”

“There’s the Round Light Technique, a law derived from the Moon-taking God’s Ability, which can illuminate an entire place from thousands of miles away, revealing the anomalies of this realm.

And the Escaping into Ground Technique, a law derived from Divine Power to Travel Below Ground, allows one to hide within the veins of the earth to avoid disaster.

Moreover, there’s the Divine Power of All Rivers Return to the Sea, used by the Sea Dragon Sovereign, which can draw on the power of all the river regions to suppress formidable enemies.

Finally, there’s the Great Sun’s Gold-Incineration, a secret Divine Power passed down by the Pure Yang Daoist Temple, which uses the real fire of the sun to smelt all kinds of gold, and can counteract many gold-based spell techniques and magical treasures.”

As he spoke, a sense of pride flashed across the face of the Magical Artifacts House Master.

Even when considering the holy lands of those sects that have been around for tens of thousands of years, not many possess such a vast catalogue of Divine Arts. This was the wealth he depended on.

During the previous Spirit Energy Tidal Surge era, even those at the True Monarch Stage came to the Magical Artifacts House in search of a Divine Skill law, which made the prestige of the Magical Artifacts House stand out.

With a few words, a gigantic Golden Balance Scale made its appearance in the Gambling Pavilion, and the various Divine Techniques projected by the Magical Artifacts House Master were heavily placed on the scale.

The hundreds of thousands of Divine Arts, weighed down the entire scale heavily.

Shen Yuan couldn’t help being startled at this situation, a bit surprised that the Magical Artifacts House Master had brought out all of his belongings directly.

The Magical Artifacts House Master sneered and said:

“Do you really think I’m a fool?

Since you had the guts to inquire about the Heavenly General Divine Power and even actively proposed to compete with me, how could I not prepare?”

“You only mentioned competing in Divine Arts, but didn’t specify whether it would be one or multiple.

“All the spells within the Magic Artifacts House are mine by rights, so it’s only natural for me to use the entirety of my Magic Artifacts House’s spells.”

The eyes of the Magical Artifacts House Master gradually grew greedier.

“Show me quickly. What kind of lower-level Divine Power, born from Earthly Destroyer Divine Power, are you relying on? Or perhaps it’s a full-fledged Earthly Destroyer Divine Power?

Even if you truly have Earthly Destroyer Divine Power, it’s hard for you to rival the accumulation of the Ghost Market over thousands of years. That’s the qualitative difference caused by quantitative change.

After this competition, the Divine Power you’re relying on will no longer belong to you.”

The Magic Artifacts House Master sought victory through quantity, plunging Shen Yuan into a moment of silence.

After a while, under the gaze of the four Pavilion Masters, Shen Yuan flexed his right hand, releasing a Sword Qi onto the Golden Balance Scale.

The intangible Sword Qi was as mighty as a mountain, quelling the almost one-sided swing of the Golden Balance Scale, and its enormous slant gradually balanced out.

That intangible and insubstantial Sword Qi counterbalanced more than a hundred thousand Divine Art spells all with its own strength.

“Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Rank Thirty-Eight: Sword Techniques!”

The Magic Artifacts House Master was shocked beyond belief, but his expression immediately transformed into one of avarice.

“The Earth Fiend Sword Art is one of the Divine Skills with the highest upper limits in the Earthly Destroyer Divine Skills, but because it requires the aid of the Qi of heaven and earth, its ranking isn’t high and cannot compete with the numerous spells in my Magic Artifacts House.

Very good! Very good! From this day forward, the Earth Fiend Sword Art will be a part of my Magic Artifacts House’s collection. I will remember your contribution well.”

Just as the Magical Artifacts House Master stated, the Earth Fiend Sword Art was barely keeping up; the Golden Balance Scale still tilted towards the Magical Artifacts House Master’s favor.

Confronting the Magic Artifacts House Master, who looked like he had the situation well in hand, Shen Yuan suddenly said,

“You said Divine Art spells aren’t limited in number, right?”

“I never said, I only had one Earthly Destroyer Divine Power!”

As soon as his words ended, Shen Yuan casually unclipped the storage ring hanging from the Maine Coon’s neck and tossed it onto the Golden Balance Scale.

The Balance Scale that had been maintaining a slight advantage suddenly tilted dramatically. With the placement of the storage ring, Shen Yuan’s side of the Golden Balance Scale dramatically descended with an insurmountable advantage.

This scene left the Magical Artifacts House Master stupefied. He stared unblinkingly at the coarse storage ring for a long time, then finally croaked out in a raspy voice,

“Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Rank Sixteen: Pot’s Heaven, with its opened storage space?”

The Magical Artifacts Housemaster looked mentally deranged, his eyes filled with incredulity.

“This is a fundamental method that points directly to the Earth Immortal Path, how could it possibly be with you?”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Alas, everything was settled. The piled up projections of bookshelves on the Balance Scale shattered instantly. The bamboo strip in the Magical Artifacts House Master’s hand was almost crushed by his grip.

The atmosphere at the gambling table became tense in an instant.

Though the Magic Artifacts House Master looked down on Shen Yuan outwardly, by placing the entire heritage of the Magic Artifacts House onto the Balance Scale through exploiting the loophole in the duel, he had already played his biggest card.

Even so, he still couldn’t defeat Shen Yuan, and instead allowed them to see the two major Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers in Shen Yuan’s hands.

The Pavilion Masters started to realize that the young man who had instigated the gamble was more difficult than they had imagined.

On the seat, Shen Yuan casually retrieved the storage ring and handed it back to the Maine Coon.

On his face, there was no hint of the joy of defeating the Master of the Magic Artifacts House, he just asked idly,

“Who’s next?”
