Eternal Holy Emperor
Chapter 1700 - 1518: Emperor Pill
Emperor Pill!
Just two simple words, yet the very instant they fell, they carried an incomparable might, detonating completely within the Three Thousand Divine Tower and drawing the burning gazes of all the great figures.
This searing heat even surpassed that evoked by the Immortal's severed arm and the World Tree Coffin.
All of this was because the pill sealed beneath that King-level Pill Furnace was an Emperor Pill!
An Emperor Pill—what kind of pill was this? It could practically be called the ultimate manifestation within the world of pills, something that could only be refined after one had cultivated their Alchemy Skill to the point of perfection, stepping into the Pill God Realm.
And this was only one of the preconditions; without sufficiently heaven-defying Medicinal Materials or other conditions, it was still impossible to refine.
It could be said that every single Emperor Pill was supremely rare, possessing a truly Heavenly Reversal Level fortune-effect, unparalleled; even if an Ancient Monarch had fallen, it could reverse everything and bring them back to life.
Precisely because of this, the Emperor Pill was peerless under heaven; every time one appeared, it was enough to trigger endless storms of blood and carnage.
One could clearly see that within the Three Thousand Divine Tower, countless great figures all had the hottest light blazing within their eyes—that was desire. Even those Alchemy Masters and Grandmasters were no exception, for this was the very extremity they pursued.
Boom—
Dan Chen snorted coldly, directly shaking the King-level Immortal Weapon. Boundless King's Heavenly Might surged out, instantly waking everyone in the Three Thousand Divine Tower, and with it came shock and dread.
If they had made a move just now, they would most likely have welcomed a devastating blow.
Boom—
At the same time, another terrifying King's Heavenly Might erupted from the shadows, crashing toward Dan Chen like lightning—someone had secretly struck out while wielding a King Immortal Weapon.
Dan Chen's expression shifted slightly, yet he only let out a cold snort and shook the furnace, transforming it into a black hole that devoured all attacks, pushing the power of the Pill Furnace to the peak.
He had no choice but to do so; otherwise, if two King Immortal Weapons clashed head-on, the great figures present in the Three Thousand Divine Tower would definitely be caught in the aftermath, with countless deaths and injuries.
After the single strike failed, the hidden assailant retreated decisively, everything receding like the tide. Even the Pill Emperor Clan could not trace them; clearly, the other side possessed some concealment-type Absolute Secret Treasure.
Dan Chen did not continue to pursue, allowing the King-level Immortal Weapon to remain shrouded above the Emperor Pill. He then spoke solemnly, "This place is the Pill Emperor Clan. If anyone dares act without authorization, do not blame my Pill Emperor Clan for being ruthless. Even if you hold a King Immortal Weapon, my Pill Emperor Clan will definitely bring out our Supreme Emperor Weapons and directly suppress and kill with overwhelming force!"
With this ruthless declaration laid down, the great figures in the Three Thousand Divine Tower all calmed considerably, held in check by their fear of the Pill Emperor Clan and of the Supreme Emperor Weapons.
Only Qin Jiuyou's pitch-black eyes flashed with strands of cold light; he let out a chilly laugh and said nothing, his attitude unclear.
"This Emperor Pill is actually not a complete Ten-level Emperor Pill, but a half-finished product. When it was being refined back then, certain problems occurred, resulting in some flaws. But even so, it still far surpasses any Ninth-level Pill. Moreover, as long as there are sufficient conditions, it can be brought to Ultimate Ascension and once again achieved the legendary Ten-level Pill!"
With Dan Chen's explanation, many people came to understand the problem with this Emperor Pill. Although it was called an Emperor Pill, strictly speaking it was only a half-finished product, yet it still possessed part of an Emperor Pill's heaven-defying effects.
Furthermore, as long as the fortune was sufficiently astonishing, in the future this half-finished Emperor Pill could be completely transformed into a true Emperor Pill.
According to Dan Chen's introduction, this half-finished Emperor Pill had been refined using True Dragon Essence Blood and was named the Ancestor Dragon Pill. If a being whose body contained Dragon Blood ingested it, their Dragon Blood could be completely and thoroughly revived and then transformed, ultimately allowing them to achieve the form of a Pure Blood True Dragon, and the True Dragon would continue to grow stronger unceasingly.
If a Pure Blood True Dragon were to take it, it could allow the True Dragon to rapidly increase in strength, even break through various shackles and trace back to the First Generation Ancestor Dragon.
There had always been a certain saying: when a True Dragon grew to the extreme, it was no weaker than an Ancient Monarch. But to fully transform, break into the final ultimate state, and step into the Emperor Domain, there existed a terrifying boundary.
The Ancestor Dragon Pill contained some Essence Blood of the First Generation Ancestor Dragon and might help it break through, walk that final step, and attain the Ancestor Dragon's position, not inferior to the true Ancestor Dragon.
Naturally, the effects contained within the Ancestor Dragon Pill were not limited to this. It also held an incomparably vast Divine Power, as well as the Emperor Dao Law contained within the Ancestor Dragon Blood Essence. If a Peak Great Power took it, there was more than a thirty percent chance of breaking through shackles and becoming an Ancient Monarch who could overlook the Ancient Universe.
It was precisely for this reason that countless people on the scene were stirred and ablaze within, birthing a true desire to fight over it.
An Emperor Pill—even if it was only a half-finished Emperor Pill—its value still far exceeded imagination.
Naturally, for those Alchemy Masters and Grandmasters, they even more wished to use this to comprehend some of the Pill God Secret Techniques contained within the Emperor Pill.
After all, every Emperor Pill was refined through the Pill God's painstaking effort; it contained the true methods of a Pill God. For these Alchemists who longed to advance toward the Pill God Realm, this was simply a heaven-sent fortune.
Even if they only comprehended one hair from nine oxen, it would still be absolute experience for them, able to point out a truly broad Dao, leading straight to the real Pill God Realm.
"Although it is only a half-finished Emperor Pill, I believe all of you understand the value of this half-finished Emperor Pill. Therefore, we do not plan to continue a normal equal-value exchange. It must be traded with sufficiently rare Treasures or conditions—as long as we are satisfied, the transaction can be made." Dan Chen spoke, putting forward an entirely new condition.
At these words, many people frowned.
After all, a Treasure that could truly rival a half-finished Emperor Pill was absolutely a truly priceless treasure, one that no one was willing to exchange away.
Yet the temptation of this half-finished Emperor Pill to them was equally immense; they were unwilling to just give up.
From then on, the real trading began. To prevent anyone carrying an Absolute Secret Treasure from being targeted by others, the Pill Emperor Clan personally opened up a space behind the auction hall. Anyone who wished to compete could enter, take out their Treasure or corresponding conditions, and the people of the Pill Emperor Clan would choose from among them the most satisfactory candidate for the trade.
For a long stretch of time, no one in the Three Thousand Divine Tower took a single step forward.
Perhaps out of fear that those with ulterior motives would covet the priceless treasures on their bodies, they all appeared apprehensive.
But very soon, many of the great figures within began to go over one after another; the Alchemy Masters and Grandmasters also went in succession. Qin Jiuyou was among them, and the Yan Emperor Clan's Great Power went as well.
One great figure after another walked over in turn, meeting with the Pill Emperor Clan's experts alone and bargaining with the Pill Emperor Clan in a hidden great hall unknown to others.
In the end, under a servant's guidance, Ye Chen also stepped into a great hall, where the hosts were shockingly Dan Chen and Dan Xu, the two Great Powers of the Emperor Clan.
