The completion of the "Barbarian God King Art" caused a massive upheaval throughout the entire Barbarian Tribe.
Countless tribesmen were both overjoyed and awestruck by Ye Chen's god-like methods. A lost and incomplete Divine King Level body refinement treasure manual could actually be restored to completion. Moreover, he was so young and could shatter the void with his physical body alone. They couldn't help but secretly speculate: just who was this Senior Ye Chen? Was he a contemporary super Heaven's Pride, or perhaps a super Heaven's Pride from another realm?
They likely could never have imagined that this Senior Ye Chen was precisely the Dominator of the Desolate Realm Heavenly Kingdom who had crossed realms thirty years ago and initiated the Dominator War.
Without a doubt, with the "Barbarian God King Art" completed, the entire tribe began cultivating it and immediately felt their cultivation speed increase by more than double. Moreover, the technique felt perfectly flawless, with their qi and blood growing robust and vigorous.
Even those who had cultivated to great heights, such as Saints, and even the few Heavenly Kings, felt the hidden flaws within their bodies gradually dissipate after cultivating the complete and perfect "Barbarian God King Art." Their qi and blood gradually returned to peak condition. Even the aging, decaying chieftain and several elders gradually regained fullness in their flesh and blood, growing stronger day by day.
Barbarian Tiger, as the young king of this generation of the Barbarian Tribe, progressed with divine speed. In just two short months, the hidden flaws within his body completely vanished. Furthermore, he advanced a step beyond his original foundation. His physical golden body far surpassed its former state, as if cast from metal, his blood qi like a vast ocean, sufficient to briefly contend head-on with a Demi-Saint Dao weapon.
As long as he cultivated for a while longer, relying on the extraordinary nature of the Divine King Level body refinement treasure manual, the "Barbarian God King Art," his physical body would be enough to rival a true Dao weapon of the same rank.
In this way, he would be enough to sweep through his peers, becoming a supreme Heaven's Pride akin to a True King.
Of course, to become a Supreme Heavenly Pride, one must supplement the Heavenly Dao's deficiencies; otherwise, success is impossible.
However, for the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds to give birth to a Supreme Heavenly Pride is far more difficult than in the myriad realms of the Upper World.
Yet the Primordial Heaven Realm was special. There was a faint tendency for a tenth sun to coalesce, and the Heavenly Dao seemed to be repairing itself, possibly allowing people to break through the tenth heaven and become young Supreme Ones.
Ye Chen occasionally looked up at the sky, at that gradually coalescing tenth Great Dao Heavenly Sun.
He always had a feeling that the existence of the Primordial Heaven Realm was far from simple, perhaps even more important than the myriad realms.
Ye Chen stayed with the Barbarian Tribe for a full two months.
During these two months, he never once stepped foot outside the Barbarian Tribe. Utilizing the Barbarian Tribe's terrifying influence within the Thirteen Eastern Victory Prefectures, he gathered many rare heavenly and earthly treasures, ten-thousand-year medicinal treasures, and other precious materials for alchemy.
Although his Dao techniques were currently sealed and he couldn't summon his Chaos Dao Fire, nothing was absolute. He used a ten-thousand-year earth fire from a Primordial Times volcano deep within the Barbarian Tribe's territory in the Million Mountains to refine pills. While it was utterly incomparable to Chaos Dao Fire, it was better than nothing. With the assistance of several Heavenly King Elders from the Barbarian Tribe in pill refinement, he successfully refined several furnaces of precious pills.
Unfortunately, even with Heavenly King assistance, Ye Chen could at most only refine 8th Rank Pills, and only low-grade ones at that.
Yet, if this news spread, it would still shake the mortal world.
After all, those capable of refining 8th Rank Pills were all genuine Alchemy Masters, holding esteemed status.
The Barbarian Tribe held Ye Chen in even greater reverence.
Shattering the void with his physical body, completing a Divine King Level treasure manual, and being able to refine 8th Rank Pills—his origins were definitely not simple.
Moreover, they could see that Ye Chen appeared completely at ease and natural while refining pills, as if it were an effortless task, making people increasingly speculate just how profound and unfathomable his alchemy attainments were.
The chieftain and several Heavenly King Elders gazed covetously at these 8th Rank Pills. Any single one, if released, would surely cause a stir throughout the entire Thirteen Eastern Victory Prefectures, even shaking the Ancient Kingdom of Qianwu.
After all, every 8th Rank Pill was an exceptionally rare treasure with unimaginable miraculous effects, enough to make even Great Powers covet them.
One must know that in the current era, those capable of refining 8th Rank Pills were all Alchemy Masters. The path of alchemy was far more difficult than the path of cultivation. How many Alchemy Masters could there be in the current era? Their status was far more esteemed than that of Great Powers.
Moreover, even Alchemy Masters had a very high failure rate when refining 8th Rank Pills, which also contributed to the scarcity of 8th Rank Pills.
If news of so many 8th Rank Pills spread, it would likely shake the eastern half of the Primordial Heaven Realm, inciting the envy of countless powerful experts. The entire Barbarian Tribe might even suffer a terrifying, clan-destroying disaster because of it.
Although 8th Rank Pills had little effect for Ye Chen, they were still better than nothing. Thus, the Barbarian Tribe chieftain and several Heavenly King Elders watched dumbfounded as Ye Chen grabbed handfuls of pills and swallowed them as if they were candy beans.
Their scalps went numb!
7th Rank Pills required Heavenly Kings to carefully refine over a long period. 8th Rank Pills were something even Great Powers wouldn't dare refine casually.
But seeing Ye Chen completely disregard this, swallowing multiple 8th Rank Pills directly with no backlash, everything happening naturally, could only mean his strength far exceeded their imagination.
A super Great Power?
A peak Great Power?
A half-step Divine King?
Or even—
An Ancient Divine King?
They didn't dare imagine further. Witnessing this scene, how could they not understand? This Senior Ye Chen from the mysterious Heavenly Kingdom most likely possessed a heaven-defying origin.
As the numerous pills were refined, surges of terrifying medicinal power—enough to burst an ordinary Divine King—erupted within his body. Yet for Ye Chen, who possessed the Chaos Saint Body, it was merely a slight fluctuation. It then transformed into streams of pure, immense medicinal power, filling his limbs and bones, even nourishing his Chaos Saint Soul.
Thus, Ye Chen's injuries finally recovered somewhat.
However, there was still a long way to go before a complete recovery.
"A pity. 8th Rank Pills are ultimately of limited effect, only restoring me a bit. If I could have 9th Rank Pills, or the Essence Blood of a Supreme One, perhaps I could recover faster," Ye Chen murmured to himself.
Not far away, the Barbarian Tribe chieftain and several Heavenly King Elders felt their scalps go numb upon hearing this. 8th Rank Pills were still of limited effect?
So many 8th Rank Pills had only restored him a bit. They could hardly imagine what kind of existence Ye Chen was, or what kind of terrifying injuries he had sustained.
Could it truly be as imagined—an Ancient Divine King who could suppress an Ancient Kingdom?
Or even beyond that?
The chieftain steeled himself and asked, "May I ask, Senior, what level of Essence Blood do you require?"
Ye Chen thought for a moment. He wanted to ask for Primordial Times Sovereign Essence Blood, but felt that might be asking too much. Even Quasi-Sovereign Essence Blood seemed hard to come by. So he said somewhat helplessly, "Divine King will do. Divine King Essence Blood is barely acceptable."
Divine King Essence Blood is... barely acceptable!?
The few men felt an inexplicable sense of dizziness.
And judging by his tone, Divine King Essence Blood seemed to be the minimum requirement.
However, they didn't dare speculate recklessly. The chieftain then said, "Senior, please rest assured. We will do our utmost to gather Divine King Essence Blood."
Although Divine King Essence Blood was rare, it wasn't nonexistent in the outside world. Some auction houses would have Divine King Essence Blood for auction.
If fortunate enough to encounter a Divine King inheritance site, there might even be a Divine King's entire legacy of Divine King Dao Blood.
Of course, such probability was extremely slim.
