Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 23 A Deity with a Human Body and a Dragon Tail

Under the True Source Demon Eye, the scene inside the dragon egg was presented to Di Yi.

"What's this?"

The scene inside the dragon egg was very complex, with all sorts of mixed energies intertwined and converging in a dazzling array of colors, completely enveloping the young dragon, which was only about two feet long, in the center.

Di Yi mobilized all the spiritual power in his sea of ​​consciousness and activated the True Source Demon Eye to its limit. The various mixed energies instantly became three-dimensional in his eyes, as if they were a series of mysterious three-dimensional patterns merging together. Some of them seemed superfluous, while others formed the main body.

Some of these three-dimensional patterns are large and clear, exuding an ancient and melodious artistic conception, as if they have been passed down through millions of years. Others are very small and faint, and they are varied and look like impurities.

"Is this the power of bloodline from the dragon egg?"

Di Yi was quite surprised. Dragons are inherently lustful, and most of the dragons in the Kunlun Realm have impure bloodlines, mixed with a large amount of bloodline power from other races. Although the Three-Clawed Flame Dragon is a seventh-order holy dragon, its dragon bloodline is not pure either.

The dragon egg born from its union with a sixth-tier superior level black flame dragon should have had a more mixed bloodline, but there are always exceptions. The young dragon in the egg experienced a once-in-a-million bloodline atavism, awakening the bloodline of the ancient flame dragon.

The magnificent and grand pattern belongs to the bloodline of the Flame Dragon, while the colorful and mixed energy is the bloodline power of other races.

Upon careful observation, Di Yi discovered that the baby dragon in the egg had four legs, each with four toes. Its bloodline was purer than that of the three-clawed Yan Chi, so it should be called the four-clawed Yan Chi.

Having been gestating in the dragon egg for sixty years, the young dragon, though unaware of the outside world, had already developed instincts. Through the connection established by the Beast Taming Talisman, Di Yi could sense the young dragon's rejection of those mixed energies.

Instinct tells it that by removing these impure bloodlines, it can go even further.

"Does it want me to help it?"

Di Yijian raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised and at a loss.

Purifying bloodlines sounds simple, but it's definitely not a simple matter. If it were that easy, the Three-Clawed Flame Dragon and the Black Market's First-Class Hall Master would have done it long ago, so why would they have waited until today?

"If even saints can't do it, how could I possibly do it?"

Di Yi was puzzled, but the instincts emanating from the baby dragon inside the dragon egg grew stronger and stronger, as if it believed that he had a solution.

Why would it think that way?

Is there something about him that neither the Black Market Master nor the Three-Clawed Flame Dragon possesses?

True Source Demon Eye? That's possible, but the True Source Demon Eye can only help him distinguish between bloodline powers, but it has no effect on these mixed bloodlines.

What else is different?

Five Elements Sacred Body?

Di Yi shook his head inwardly. Although holy bodies are rare, a saint's body is a holy body, so this doesn't make sense.

Then it can only be... the Heart of the Flame Demon.

Not only did Di Yi know little about the Heart of the Flame Demon, but even the black market had very few records about it. All that was known was that the Heart of the Flame Demon originated from the Chaotic Ancient Flame Demon and possessed a special physique that was no weaker than the Five Elements Sacred Body.

In the original timeline, Di Yi was defeated by Zhang Ruochen on the Tongming River, and his Flame Demon Heart was severed and swallowed by a bloodline-mutated Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit.

The Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit later cultivated the Devouring Heaven Technique of the Devouring Heaven Demon Dragon lineage, obtained the creation of heaven and earth, and actually transformed into a Devouring Heaven Demon Dragon.

The Heart of the Flame Demon likely played a significant role in this.

"The Devouring Demon Dragon, the Ancient Flame Dragon, could the Heart of the Flame Demon be connected to the dragon race in some way?"

Di Yi had a guess in his mind and tried to mobilize the Heart of the Flame Demon. The power of the demon heart surged and the consciousness of the young dragon inside the dragon egg instantly became active.

"It really is because of the Heart of the Flame Demon."

Turning his gaze away from the dragon egg, Di Yi was filled with doubt when a thought suddenly occurred to him. Since the True Source Demon Eye could see inside the dragon egg, could it also see inside the Heart of the Flame Demon?
Thinking of this, he immediately gave it a try.

During this period of time, as he explored the True Source Demon Eye, he discovered that the True Source Demon Eye was more like a special ability of his own that was manifested through his two eyes, rather than the two eyes directly undergoing a mutation.

Therefore, the True Source Demon Eye can not only observe the outside world, but also observe itself.

As the power of the Demon Eye swept across, the Heart of the Flame Demon on his chest gradually became clearer.

Instead of a heart, what met the eye was a sea of ​​crimson flames, with undercurrents surging within. Upon closer inspection, it bore a striking resemblance to the magnificent bloodline pattern inside the dragon egg. Even if they did not share the same origin, there must be a significant connection between them.

Unlike the dragon egg, the bloodline energy inside the Heart of the Flame Demon is very pure, without those colorful and mixed elements.

The only anomaly was a very subtle pale gold mark deep within the sea of ​​fire.

Emperor Yi pushed the power of the True Source Demon Eye to its limit, almost draining the spiritual power within his Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness, and finally saw the true form of the faint golden trace.

It was actually a phantom with a human body and a dragon tail, which was submerged in the crimson sea of ​​fire. Even so, Di Yi could still sense a supreme aura from it, an aura that far surpassed that of a saint.

only...

Only when he reached the supreme realm did he attract the resonance of the gods, which possessed this aura—the aura of the gods.

This is the bloodline of the gods!
"Could it be the bloodline of that Flame Demon from the chaotic ancient era?"

Di Yi secretly guessed that at this moment, the pale golden dragon-man phantom seemed to be aroused and showed signs of revival. The entire sea of ​​fire in the Heart of the Flame Demon suddenly became turbulent and stirred up a huge raging wave.

A sense of emptiness washed over him, indicating that his mental energy was overloaded, forcing Di Yi to stop using the True Source Demon Eye.

At the same time, a desire originating from bloodline instinct surged into Di Yi's mind, its target being the dragon egg before him.

Swallow it.

By swallowing this dragon egg, my Fire Demon Heart will advance even further!
Di Yi dispelled this terrifying thought, still feeling lingering fear at the pale golden phantom in the heart of the Flame Demon.

The energy contained in a sacred dragon egg is terrifying. Even a half-saint would need some effort to refine it. If I, a martial artist at the Profound Realm, were to swallow it, I would probably explode and die immediately.

"As expected of the Heart of the Flame Demon, it is indeed deeply demonic."

He suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, sat cross-legged beside the dragon egg, and activated the Heavenly Demon Suppressing Prison Diagram to restore his own condition.

Before long, the spiritual energy within his Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness became abundant again, showing improvement over the previous state.

The cultivation of mental strength is achieved through continuous practice and learning.

As its own condition returned to its peak, the consciousness of the young dragon inside the dragon egg grew stronger and stronger, as if it were begging the Emperor to help it remove those impure bloodlines and not let them taint its body.

The greedy desire to devour within the Flame Demon's heart grew even stronger.

The two were in love, and he seemed to have become the villain caught in the middle.
"One is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit. If problems arise, it's not my fault."

Di Yi cursed under his breath, activated his True Source Demon Eye again, and placed his palm on the surface of the dragon egg.

The multicolored bloodline power inside the dragon egg was a chaotic mess, but those that could leave behind bloodline inheritance were at least at the level of sacred beasts. Even a tiny bit of it could kill a martial artist at the Profound Realm.

Di Yi only possessed the Five Elements Sacred Body, not a Saint, so naturally he dared not use his physical body as a relay station between the two. However, when he was in the Yellow Extreme Realm, he opened up thirty-six meridians, one of which was called the Blood Spirit Meridian.

The Blood Spirit Vein, fused into the blood and connected to the Heart of the Flame Demon, could serve as a bridge between the two.
