Chieftain Mantai was overjoyed.
Originally, if he continued cultivating the complete Barbarian God King Art, he could have gradually recovered to this state as well.
It was just that, having cultivated the incomplete art for thousands of years, a full recovery would likely have taken eight hundred to a thousand years.
Yet now, a single pill had completely restored him. One could imagine just how heaven-defying its medicinal efficacy was.
This also revealed the astonishing means of this Senior Ye Chen.
Moreover, he vaguely felt a tendency to break through.
Mantai was originally at the peak of the ninth heaven of the Heavenly King realm, standing at the half-step Great Power level, only a single step away from becoming a true Great Power.
Unfortunately, over the years, he had never been able to cross that threshold. It wasn't that his realm was insufficient, but rather that his own condition restricted him. His blood energy was withered and depleted. If he rashly attempted the breakthrough, the Great Power Tribulation would descend, and in his state, he would be utterly incapable of enduring the tribulation and ascending.
But now, with his blood energy restored to its peak state, he had every hope of charging towards the Great Power realm.
"Today, I, Mantai, shall charge towards the Great Power realm!"
Mantai's will erupted. He immediately consumed the second pill, and within his body, even more powerful blood energy was born. The blood energy poured forth like a divine furnace, shaking the Million Mountains.
Filled with the vast medicinal power that saturated his limbs and bones, Mantai wasted no words. He tore through the void and entered the deepest part of the Million Mountains to undergo his tribulation.
Boom—
The Great Power Tribulation shook heaven and earth, trembling the ten directions, startling the entire Eastern Victory's Thirteen States and drawing the attention of the world.
Countless experts throughout the Qianwu Ancient Country were alarmed, gazing towards that direction, speculating on who was undergoing tribulation and ascending to become a new Great Power.
A Great Power, even within a superpower like the Qianwu Ancient Country, was absolutely considered a top-tier expert.
The Great Power Tribulation was extremely powerful, and as no one knew who the tribulation-taker was, no one dared to act rashly.
Suddenly, Ye Chen opened his eyes, looked towards Mantai who was undergoing tribulation, and revealed a faint smile. "Although the bloodline seals within the bodies of the Barbarian Tribe's clansmen involve extremely profound sealing techniques, once one cultivates to the Great Power realm, these bloodline seals should be resolved!"
"Interesting. I want to see just what kind of bloodline the Barbarian Tribe possesses that someone would impose bloodline seals upon them."
Half a day later, the tribulation-taker returned successfully. He appeared to be only in his early thirties, looking young and godly-martial, with black hair cascading over his shoulders and a tall, imposing stature. His every movement possessed the power to shake heaven and earth, and the aura of a Great Power stirred the eight directions.
When the people of the world clearly saw who it was, they were all dumbfounded.
The chieftain of the Barbarian Tribe—Mantai!
He had actually succeeded in undergoing tribulation and become a Great Power!
The world was shaken!
Everyone knew that ever since the Barbarian Tribe was attacked by various great enemies years ago, who seized half of the Barbarian God King Art, countless experts of the entire tribe had fallen, directly causing its decline.
Moreover, due to the incomplete Body Refinement treasure tome, there existed many terrifying hidden dangers, preventing cultivation to great heights. It was difficult even to become a Heavenly King, and the dreadful hidden dangers led to severely depleted blood energy, often resulting in an untimely end.
Now, the current chieftain had actually broken through the shackles, shattered the predicament, and ascended to Great Power. Furthermore, his blood energy was so incredibly vigorous that, even as a newly ascended Great Power, its peak intensity could rival that of veteran Great Powers.
This directly shook the Million Mountains and alarmed the Eastern Victory's Thirteen States.
It was unbelievable that Chieftain Mantai had survived this tribulation and successfully ascended to Great Power.
However, after the initial shock, people soon shook their heads.
What did it matter if he successfully became a Great Power? The Barbarian God King Art possessed extremely serious flaws. Unless one completely re-cultivated the complete Barbarian God King Art, the blood energy would deplete again before long. This was understood from years of observation. One could not escape this calamity; at most, Mantai could live a few more years.
But soon, something even more shocking happened.
Several powerful pillars of blood energy shot up from within the Barbarian Tribe, each comparable to a top-tier Heavenly King. Several figures stood in the sky—they were elders of the Barbarian Tribe. Each one had full, robust flesh, youthful physiques, and incredibly vigorous blood energy. It was unbelievable.
The other tribal elders, after consuming the pills, had also completely recovered and received significant improvements, stepping at the very least into the ranks of Super Heavenly Kings.
Originally, their realms were sufficient. It was only because of their own blood energy that they had been unable to take that step. Now, with their blood energy restored, and the pills personally refined by Ye Chen containing Divine King Dao Blood, it naturally promoted their continuous ascent.
The astonishing changes in the Barbarian Tribe naturally attracted attention from all sides.
Overnight, the Barbarian Tribe seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis. Its highest-ranking chieftain and elders were liberated from their decrepit, depleted states, restored to youth, and possessed peerlessly vigorous blood energy.
Without a doubt, the Barbarian Tribe was originally one of the top superpowers in the Eastern Victory's Thirteen States, dominating the eastern lands of the Qianwu Ancient Country. Now, with the birth of a Great Power and the possession of multiple Super Heavenly Kings, its overall strength had undoubtedly advanced another step, directly surpassing its former rival—Cangxue Palace.
Similarly, this caused a stir throughout the Eastern Victory's Thirteen States.
After so many years, relying on a fragmentary Divine King-level Body Refinement treasure tome from the past, the Barbarian Tribe had actually given birth to a new Great Power?
Back when the Barbarian Tribe's generation of the Barbarian God King was alive, it was a prominent, supreme power of its time, not inferior to an Ancient Kingdom.
However, after the Divine King fell and the Body Refinement treasure tome was coveted by great enemies, a terrifying great war occurred, directly leading to its decline.
Now, with the emergence of a brand new Great Power, did it mean the Barbarian Tribe would rise again?
Did it also mean that even a half-fragmentary Body Refinement treasure tome could qualify one to cultivate to the Great Power realm?
This made countless factions covetous.
After all, such a Body Refinement treasure tome capable of cultivating one to the Great Power realm, even if fragmentary and possibly harboring terrifying flaws, was still an invaluable supreme treasure tome.
In this world, few could truly afford not to care. Especially the Qianwu Ancient Country side, which would not permit the rise of a superpower that could threaten the Ancient Kingdom.
They were not worried about a single newly ascended Great Power, because the heritage of the Qianwu Ancient Country far exceeded imagination. Even the appearance of multiple Great Powers could not threaten the foundation of an Ancient Kingdom.
But what if a Divine King from antiquity appeared?
Even an Ancient Kingdom power like Qianwu felt some concern.
Immediately, a Great Power emerged from the royal capital of the Ancient Kingdom, heading towards the Eastern Victory's Thirteen States to investigate.
At the same time, in the Eastern Victory's Thirteen States, at Cangxue Palace.
As a superpower on par with the Barbarian Tribe, Cangxue Palace was naturally extraordinarily powerful.
Not long ago, the death of Cangxue Palace's young generation's Heaven's Pride, Ao Changkong, had caused fury throughout the palace.
It was just that, at the time, the Palace Lord of Cangxue Palace happened to be in the most critical period of a breakthrough attempt and also feared the Barbarian Tribe's heritage, so they did not strike, choosing to bide their time.
On this day, Cangxue Palace experienced a great upheaval. Boundless Thunder Tribulation descended from the sky. A single figure soared into the heavens, charging into the thunder tribulation, shaking the Eastern Victory's Thirteen States.
