Long Chen swallowed a pill, and the star sea in his dantian trembled slightly. If he didn't look closely, he wouldn't notice any reaction at all.
Long Chen couldn't help but sigh: "I thought I could harness the power of the heavenly tribulation to condense an eight-star battle body in one go, but I didn't expect it only resulted in a half-finished product." Long
Chen knew the consumption of the Eight-Star Battle Body was enormous, but he hadn't expected it to be even greater than he had imagined—it was practically a bottomless pit.
Now, the Eight-Star Battle Body was just a prototype, still growing. The last time he summoned the Eight-Star Battle Body, Long Chen felt a power that even he feared.
Especially when the starry sky descended and covered the nine heavens, Long Chen seemed to connect with the entire starry sky, merging with them as one.
However, he felt extremely small, like a fish in the ocean. Although he was the only fish in the entire ocean, he had only the ocean, but all he could do was blow out a tiny bubble.
Having only the ocean, yet only able to blow out a tiny bubble to attack others—this was simply unbearable for Long Chen.
And this time, summoning a fully formed Eight-Star Battle Body—the so-called Human Emperor powerhouse—was simply not enough. Logically, Long Chen should be full of vigor, but no one knew how much of a blow he had suffered.
Fortunately, when he was struck, Dragonbone Evil Moon gave him great encouragement and comfort, which made him hesitant to cultivate the Eight-Star Battle Body to save his life.
After all, the Dragon Bone Evil Moon and the Great Brahma Heaven Scripture were also huge relies on Long Chen, giving him more time to slowly cultivate the Eight-Star Battle Body.
As Long Chen swallowed the pills one by one, eight stars appeared behind him. However, these eight stars were all illusions, projections of the stars within his body, and did not release their power.
Each of the eight stars was about the size of a plate, appearing behind Long Chen. However, these stars were extremely rough. As Long Chen devoured the pills, streams of divine light flowed and overflowed from the endless sea of stars, nourishing the eight stars.
On each star, the rough surface gradually became smooth, but this process was very slow.
"Fortunately, we had the power of heavenly fire and heavenly thunder to assist earlier. Otherwise, even if it was just a prototype, who knows how long it would have taken to condense an eight-star battle body." Long Chen secretly felt relieved.
Long Chen swallowed pill after pill into his stomach. These were all Niechong Pills refined by the Qiankun Cauldron and Huo Ling'er together, and they were now piled up like mountains.
As for the pills, Long Chen had already entrusted them entirely to the Qiankun Cauldron. If it weren't for Huo Ling'er still needing to digest the heavenly fire power within her body, and the Qiankun Cauldron also absorbing the faith power, the pills would have been even more refined than before.
The Qiankun Cauldron not only refined a large number of Niechong Pills, but also a vast array of Saint Pills. These pills are the Immortal Golden Pill, Saint Golden Pill, Saint King Golden Pill, Human Saint Golden Pill, Earth Saint Golden Pill, and Heavenly Saint Golden Pill, each corresponding to the Six Immortal Realms.
Previously, the Dragonblood Warriors relied on Yu Qingxuan for their pills. Most of their cultivation had already reached the mid-Immortal Realm, about to enter the late stage. It could be said that the Dragonblood Warriors' cultivation speed was astonishingly fast.
Most importantly, after fusing with the Dragon Soul, they no longer have to worry about unstable realms. As long as there are enough pills, their progress won't slow down.
"Boom!"
Long Chen was focused on refining medicinal power when his body trembled slightly. He was both surprised and delighted, thinking that without realizing it, he had perfected the Eight Stars. Unexpectedly, he had devoured too many pills, causing his realm to break through to the first level of Immortal Heaven.
Seeing that the eight stars had basically changed little, Long Chen sighed helplessly: "Alright, looks like I don't need to take the Immortal Golden Pill. Just taking the Nirvana Penetration Pill can passively raise my realm. I just wonder if I can achieve perfection when breaking through to the Saint Realm." Long
Chen continued cultivating, and Bai Shishi was also focused on healing. Golden divine radiance swirled around her, and her vision seemed to be evolving automatically. Behind her, within the Destiny Roulette, the figure of the goddess became clearer and clearer.
Except for Guo Ran and Xia Chen, everyone in the Dragonblood Legion was in seclusion cultivating. Guo Ran was busy in his forging workshop, tapping and tinking. Usually, he joked around, but now he was fully focused and meticulous.
Xia Chen, meanwhile, was in a clean room, skillfully carving talismans and seals. On the cutting board alone, there were hundreds of different materials in different colors, and the floor was littered with discarded talismans. Clearly, Xia Chen was carving a more advanced talisman; otherwise, the failure rate wouldn't be so high.
The entire war chariot became a training ground for everyone. The golden rhinoceros pulled the chariot as it roared past. Even when passing through the territory of the Human Emperor demon beasts, when they felt the chariot's pressure, they could only let out low growls as warning, but dared not attack.
Time passed bit by bit. Every three days, Long Chen would check on the Golden Rhino's condition, give it some pills, and suppress the power of the Nether Dragon and Faith within its body.
After nine days, the golden bull was full of energy, unable to sense the power of the Nether Dragon or the power of faith anymore, and was even more grateful to Long Chen.
However, after recovering from its injuries, it did not leave Long Chen, continuing diligently pulling the golden chariot forward until the fifteenth day, when Long Chen told Huang Xi to stop.
"Respected human powerhouse, we will arrive in the Dragon Domain in three days. Why did you make me stop?" Huang Xi asked.
"I told you to stop because there's something good to tell you. Previously, after several tests, I had already removed the impurities from the power of the Nether Dragon and the power of faith, sealing away their essence.
Now that your body has mostly recovered, I feel you should be able to withstand its power. I plan to release it, so I believe your strength will instantly return to its former peak." Long Chen said.
"You mean... Can I return to the dual-vein Emperor realm again? The golden rhino's voice trembled with excitement.
If it is a human powerhouse, it is called a dual-vein Human Emperor; but if it is a demon beast, it calls itself a dual-vein emperor, because their future cultivation will no longer be bound by human form and will return to their essence.
The Golden Rhino had been poisoned for years by the power of the Nether Dragon and the power of faith, suffering greatly. Long Chen had already removed the poison, and it was already overjoyed. Now, when Long Chen said he wanted it to restore its former peak strength, it could hardly believe its ears.
If this had been someone else's words, it definitely wouldn't believe it, but as for Long Chen, it wouldn't doubt at all, and was so excited that his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"Just in case, I'll give you a few Meridian Protection Golden Pills first, so your meridians won't be damaged." After Long Chen finished speaking, he fed Huang Xi six golden pills.
Then he fed a fist-sized black pill into Huang Xi's mouth. Without hesitation, Huang Xi swallowed the pill.
"Boom!"
As the black pill entered his stomach, Huang Xi's body rapidly expanded, and his vast blood energy surged like a tsunami, instantly shaking the surrounding mountains into dust.
