Amidst rumbling roars, the alchemy process began.
Ye Chen utilized Mantai's Great Power-level Dao Fire to directly incinerate the medicinal ingredients, refining the Revival Pill.
A full day passed before the Revival Pill was successfully completed, maintaining his flawless record of zero failures.
Even with his divine soul power sealed, his control was heaven-defying.
Once the Revival Pill was refined, beams of emerald radiance shot into the sky, echoing continuously within the hall, carrying a surging and blazing torrent of life force.
This delighted Mantai and several tribal elders—the Barbarian God King Ancient Ancestor finally had hope of revival.
"Administer it to him," Ye Chen said calmly.
Mantai immediately proceeded to the World Heart within the Inner World, unsealing its containment. The moment the Barbarian God King left the World Heart, his life force began to deplete rapidly, but he was immediately given the Revival Pill.
Boom—
Visibly, after consuming the Revival Pill, the Barbarian God King's aura instantly grew many times stronger.
Anyone could sense a vigorous life force erupting within the Barbarian God King's body, rapidly nourishing his limbs, bones, and divine soul, alleviating his condition which had been on the brink of Nirvana.
As time passed, the life force contained within the Revival Pill continuously surged forth, and the Barbarian God King's life essence gradually grew stronger.
Crack—
Crack—
Crack—
...
Clear cracking sounds could be heard continuously emanating from the Barbarian God King's body, like spring thunder, shaking this desolate Inner World.
What was happening?
Mantai and several tribal Heavenly King elders were equally astonished, watching the Barbarian God King with heavy, focused gazes, fearing major problems at this critical juncture.
But Ye Chen remained composed. "No need for excessive concern. He is merely breaking his original shackles and being reborn anew."
No one understood the effects of the Revival Pill better than him. On top of the original formula, he had added a peerless treasure herb, its value even surpassing that of the Revival Pill itself.
Boom—
Visibly, the Barbarian God King's withered body gradually filled out—flesh and blood, with blood energy as vast as the starry sky, churning incessantly within him.
Simultaneously, a terrifying, supreme bloodline fluctuation began to tremble.
Present, only Ye Chen and Mantai could sense it, even resonating with it.
Mantai was overjoyed—it was the imperial bloodline power of the Great Desolate Ancient Emperor, now awakening within the Barbarian God King, resonating with his own.
An immeasurable imposing might, akin to a Nine Heavens True Dragon, slowly unfurled, filling this vast, barren Inner World, sweeping across all directions.
Anyone could sense the Barbarian God King was reviving, and at an astonishingly rapid pace. As his blood energy churned, a terrifying pillar of light erupted from the crown of his head, piercing into the firmament of this Inner World, shaking the myriad stars in the sky.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, the Barbarian God King opened his tightly shut eyes, like two divine lamps, spewing forth two beams of solidified radiance that tore through the void, utterly terrifying.
His gaze contained a formidable Dao authority that immediately made the tribal elders tremble and kneel.
Mantai also quivered, but the Supreme Bloodline power within his body resonated, dissolving this imposing might.
Only Ye Chen remained utterly unaffected. Such Divine King-level imposing might, even if it could overturn the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, was useless against him, unable to shake him in the slightest.
Finally, this supreme imposing might gradually retracted until it completely vanished.
Now, the Barbarian God King was seen standing tall, his emaciated body restored to full flesh and blood. He appeared to be in his early twenties, very young yet exceptionally burly, like a barbarian tiger, but the oppressive feeling he gave off was countless times greater than any barbarian tiger.
The Barbarian God King appeared as a majestic, martial, and immortal man of towering stature.
Yet, for some reason, as Ye Chen looked at the Barbarian God King, he felt a resemblance to an old acquaintance.
It was a former great enemy—one he had to admit was exceptionally brilliant—who bore some facial similarity to the Barbarian God King, and whose bloodline fluctuation was also somewhat alike.
Soon, Ye Chen shook his head, for it was impossible. That great enemy was not from the Pangu Universe.
Just a coincidence.
The Barbarian God King's majestic bearing was awe-inspiring, towering and burly like a bronze mountain, his entire body seemingly cast from primordial chaos bronze. Anyone could sense the overwhelming physical power contained within his frame—it would be no exaggeration to say he could tear apart star rivers.
The first thing he did upon awakening was not look at Mantai, who had also awakened the Supreme Bloodline, nor at the other Barbarian Tribe clansmen, but at Ye Chen.
This refined young man gave him a sense of unfathomable depth.
Faced with his own Divine King imposing might, the youth remained as unshaken as Mount Tai collapsing before him.
Yet, he sensed no malice. Otherwise, even if the other was powerful, he would have acted, not permitting any harm to the Barbarian Tribe.
"Divine King Ancient Ancestor, you have finally revived!" Mantai and the tribal elders were extremely excited, tears streaming down their aged faces as they crowded forward.
The Barbarian God King realized this era was likely not the one from his past, but he was surprised and also moved to see someone before him who had awakened the sealed Supreme Bloodline.
"Rise quickly. Tell me, which era is this?"
Wiping his tears, Mantai said, "Divine King Ancient Ancestor, this is one era later. It is no longer the Ancient Kingdom era you once ruled."
Since the existence of the Primordial Heaven Realm, time had been divided into eight great eras: the Chaos Era, the Primordial Era, the Archaic Era, the Ancient Era, the Antiquity Era, the Middle Antiquity Era, the Recent Antiquity Era, and the current Golden Age.
Although titled an Antiquity Divine King, the Barbarian God King actually existed during the Recent Antiquity Era, truly one era ago.
Each era spanned immeasurable, incalculable years.
The group briefly recounted the experiences after the Divine King Ancient Ancestor was sealed, sighing with emotion.
The Barbarian God King sighed inexplicably. "To think a whole era has passed in the blink of an eye. And to think those people were so rampant, seizing the Barbarian God Ancient Kingdom during my absence, even having the audacity to steal the 'Barbarian God King Art' I created. Had I known, I would not have passed down this body-tempering scripture to you all—it only brought you harm."
One era later, the Barbarian God Ancient Kingdom, once among the top super ancient kingdoms of the hundred kingdoms, had long been partitioned by several other ancient kingdoms. Even the body-tempering treasure scripture he left behind was coveted by several major enemies afterward, causing great casualties for his descendants.
The Barbarian God Ancient Kingdom had vanished from history, now reduced to a declining Barbarian Tribe.
Moreover, due to various enemies vying for it, the body-tempering scripture had become incomplete. What remained with the Barbarian Tribe was a fragmentary version; cultivating to the late Saint Treasury Realm in this era would lead to major flaws, and those who could reach the Heavenly King Realm were few and far between.
He blamed himself for this.
