Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 24 Harvesting Dragon Eggs, The Chaos of Yunyang

The True Source Demon Eye, the Heart of the Flame Demon, and the Blood Spirit Vein, when combined, make the plan to draw blood from the baby dragon inside the dragon egg somewhat feasible.

The blood spirit vein seeped out from the palm and adhered to the shell of the dragon egg. The young dragon inside the egg did not reject it and actively let go of its resistance, allowing the blood spirit vein to connect with the dragon egg.

Di Yi felt strange. The pale golden phantom within the Heart of the Flame Demon and the baby dragon inside the dragon egg became increasingly impatient, urging them on as if he were unwilling to grant them their wish and was delaying sending them to their bridal chamber.

He used his True Source Demon Eye to distinguish the various bloodlines within the dragon egg, avoiding the Flame Dragon bloodline and only trying to extract the mixed bloodline power.

With the help of the young dragon, the process went quite smoothly. A powerful and domineering bloodline force surged along the Blood Spirit Vein, and a strong stinging sensation came from the Blood Spirit Vein, almost tearing the entire meridian apart.

Despite the pain, Di Yi guided the power of his bloodline into the Heart of the Flame Demon.

A moment later, the power of bloodline reached the heart of the Flame Demon, and a terrifying suction force surged out from the heart of the Flame Demon, devouring it completely.

Di Yi was initially worried that the mixed bloodlines inside the dragon egg would contaminate the Heart of the Flame Demon, but now it seems that the pale golden phantom inside the Heart of the Flame Demon is indiscriminate in its acceptance of all bloodlines, whether pure or mixed, they are all just food.

It took almost half an hour to extract more than twenty streams of bloodline power from the dragon egg and send them into the heart of the Flame Demon so that the pale golden phantom could devour them.

The intense devouring desire within the Flame Demon's heart finally subsided temporarily, as if it had eaten its fill and needed to digest.

The young dragon inside the dragon egg still seemed unsatisfied. Di Yi had only extracted about twenty subtle and mixed bloodline powers, which was nothing compared to the vast bloodline power within the dragon egg.

At this intensity, it would take at least another one or two hundred more cycles to completely remove all the impurities.

"What's the rush?"

Di Yi cursed under his breath. The dragon egg appeared unchanged on the surface, but under the True Source Demon Eye, he could clearly feel that the life force of the young dragon inside the egg had become much weaker.

Although it's called mixed blood, it's still part of the young dragon's bloodline, and removing it will naturally cause some damage.

Fortunately, the dragon's nest is located above the sacred vein. The Three-Clawed Flame Dragon used the methods of a saint to draw out the power of the sacred vein to nourish the dragon egg, which was able to restore the dragon egg's deficiencies.

Otherwise, Emperor Yi was genuinely worried that the baby dragon inside the dragon egg would be drained of its life force by the Heart of the Flame Demon.

No, why use the term "harvesting"?
Di Yi felt increasingly puzzled. He calmed himself down and began to cultivate.

The cultivation environment around the dragon egg is exceptionally rare. In addition to nurturing the dragon egg, the power of the sacred vein can also nurture his sacred body.

……

North of the Fallen God Mountains lies Yunyang City.

Winter has passed and spring has arrived, all things are reviving, the snow outside the city has melted and turned into meltwater that flows into the streams.

Half a year has passed since the great battle between good and evil before the Lunar New Year. The fighting and war have gradually subsided, and the people in the city have returned to their usual peaceful lives.

Yunyang is a large city, radiating outwards for tens of thousands of miles. It is a commercial center, and the city is a melting pot of all sorts of people, including those from the righteous, evil, and demonic paths. There are numerous gangs and powerful forces within the city.

Among the many forces, the Righteous Hall, backed by the Martial Market Bank, and the Blazing Fire Sect of the Black Market are the most powerful, both being fifth-rate forces.

In the Kunlun Realm, apart from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Path, the Taiji Path, and the Confucian Path, the remaining forces are divided into nine streams.

Although this fifth-rate force lacks a semi-saint level expert, it is powerful enough to act tyrannically in this corner of Yunyang City.

Normally, the conflicts in this city are limited to the two factions of the Righteousness Hall and the Blazing Fire Sect, with the occasional presence of the Moon Worshiping Demonic Sect.

However, in the battle before the Lunar New Year, the Xia family's Holy Body was ambushed in the city and beheaded by the disciple of the Eastern Domain Holy Academy. The evil forces, represented by the Blazing Fire Sect, were also severely damaged. In the struggle between good and evil, victory and defeat are common, but when the Xia family's Holy Body is involved, things are beyond the control of the local gangs.

The killing of the Holy Body was a great disgrace to the Xia family, and they would not let it go. It was unlikely that they would chase after the culprit to the Eastern Domain Holy Academy to kill him. The righteous forces in Yunyang City naturally became the targets of their anger.

Three days ago, the Saint of the Dry Sea issued a decree, and the evil forces of Jiangning Prefecture gathered in Shadow Clan. Six fifth-rate forces and dozens of sixth- and seventh-rate forces came together and, with the help of the Blazing Fire Sect, stormed into Yunyang City tonight.

As dawn broke, the situation in the city was largely settled after a night of fierce fighting.

The century-old foundation of Zhengqi Hall was destroyed in an instant. Eight or nine out of ten of the disciples in the hall were killed or injured, and only a few escaped from the city.

At the city gate, a young couple mingled among the many righteous martial artists who intended to escape the city, engaging in a bloody battle with the evil figures from the black market.

The man held a long spear, his white robe stained crimson with blood, making it impossible to tell whether it was his own or that of an enemy.

"Madam, take good care of Han'er, I will lead you to fight your way out of the city."

A beautiful young woman held a sword in one hand, her body riddled with wounds, her brocade robe stained with blood, and she was also holding a six or seven-year-old girl in her arms.

Despite the sudden change, the little girl did not cry or make a fuss; her clear eyes cleverly concealed her inner fear.

"Father, Mother, can we escape?"

The young woman wiped the bloodstains from the little girl's face and said gently, "Don't worry, Han'er, your father and mother will definitely fight our way out of here."

She looked at the man, her eyes sharpening again.

"Brother Shan, we must break out of the city before dawn, or we'll have nowhere to escape."

The young man nodded, mobilized the little true energy he had left in his dantian, and charged toward the city gate with his spear.

"kill!"

That night, amidst the clash of swords and the glint of spears, by the time dawn broke and the morning light fell, the city streets were already awash in blood.

The black market was a battle of revenge fought by many experts. The righteous forces in Yunyang City were powerless to resist. Led by the Righteous Qi Hall, those who did not escape the city were either beheaded or had their cultivation crippled and turned into slaves. The female disciples who were beautiful were turned into prostitutes, while those who were of average appearance were either killed or enslaved.

Whether they were fifth-rate or sixth-rate forces, the righteous forces of Yunyang City, which had enjoyed half a year of glory, vanished overnight.

The Eastern Holy City made no response to this, with only one saint appearing to confront the Dry Sea Saint from a distance.

Both the Martial Market Bank and the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion understood that this was the Xia family venting their anger. Sacrificing Yunyang City in exchange for a Holy Body of the Xia family was a worthwhile deal!

Three thousand miles south of Yunyang City, a young man and woman fled overnight, dragging their heavily injured bodies as they traveled thousands of miles. Now they were exhausted, but fortunately, the Fallen God Mountain Range lay ahead. As long as they escaped into the mountains, they could completely escape the pursuit of the evil people from the black market.

The black market came prepared and naturally did not intend to let anyone go. There must be strong people guarding the east, west, and north sides. Only heading south, on the road leading to the evil land of the East, might offer a glimmer of hope.

As it turned out, their gamble paid off. Although there were ambushes in the south, they were not completely impenetrable, allowing them to find an opportunity to escape.

“Lianmei, let’s take Han’er into the Fallen God Mountain and hide for a few days. Once the turmoil in Yunyang City has subsided, we’ll find a way to go to the Eastern Holy City. Han’er awakened a pair of Holy Eyes last night. As long as we return to the Eastern Holy City, the Luo Sheng Clan will definitely give her a lot of support.”

The young man looked at the little girl in the young woman's arms, unsure whether it was a blessing or a curse. Perhaps his daughter had been frightened last night, as she had awakened a pair of holy eyes. It was precisely with the guidance of these holy eyes that they were able to find the weak point in the black market's defenses and break through the encirclement.
