Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 25 The Luo Family

"Want to leave? I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

A mocking voice suddenly came from the distance, coming from the direction of Yunyang City.

The young man gripped his spear tightly, looked at the newcomer upon hearing the sound, and his expression immediately changed.

"Blazing Fire Sect, Chu Shiye."

Chu Shiye is the number one genius of the younger generation of the Blazing Fire Sect. At just over twenty years old, his cultivation has already reached the Great Perfection of the Earth Realm. He has also passed the fourth level of the Nine Absolute Tower and joined the ranks of the Four Absolute Geniuses.

"Luo Yuanshan, you killed so many disciples of my Blazing Fire Sect, how can you escape so easily?" Chu Shiye held a long sword in his arms, his eyes cold. Normally, he wouldn't be confident in dealing with this couple from the Luo Sheng Clan at the same time.

But times have changed. After a night of fighting, both of them were exhausted, with only about 50% of their fighting strength remaining.

Luo Yuanshan took a deep breath. Fortunately, it was only Chu Shiye who came, so it wasn't a desperate situation yet.

"Lianmei, take Han'er and go first. I'll hold him off."

Song Lian's heart trembled, but she also knew that in their current state, even if they joined forces with their daughter, they would not be a match for Chu Shiye. If they took their daughter and left first, Luo Yuanshan would be able to escape more easily.

"Brother Shan, be careful."

She gave a worried warning, then hardened her heart and, without looking back, fled into the Fallen God Mountain Range with the girl in her arms.

"Decisive indeed." Chu Shiye watched the figure disappear into the forest and sighed inwardly. The scions of the Luo Sheng Clan were indeed extraordinary. It would be difficult for him to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

"Fine, I'll kill you first, then I'll go find your wife and daughter."

The longsword in his bosom was drawn, and a sharp, piercing light flashed out.

Luo Yuanshan and he were both at the Great Perfection of the Earthly Realm, ranking among the Four Absolute Geniuses. They were roughly equal in skill, but now that he was seriously injured, how could he be his match?

"If you want to kill me, first ask the spear in my hand if it will allow it."

Luo Yuanshan mustered his inner energy, showing no fear in his eyes, and raised his spear to meet the attack.

On the other side, Song Lian, carrying her young daughter, ran two hundred miles through the mountains and forests in one breath, only stopping to rest in a valley. Physical and mental exhaustion kept coming.

"We're finally safe. I wonder if Brother Shan has escaped from Chu Shiye's clutches." She looked at the sleeping little girl in her arms, and her strength surged back within her.

"We cannot let our guard down yet. The Fallen God Mountains are fraught with danger. There may be people from the black market lurking around, and the wild beasts in the mountains are also a great danger."

As she pondered, she suddenly sensed something, and with a flick of her wrist, she turned the sword to point to the other side of the valley entrance.

"Who's hiding there?"

A moment later, three disheveled figures emerged from the bushes. The leader carried a huge ruler on his back and had a dignified appearance, but his body was covered in wounds, indicating that he was seriously injured.

"Xiao Linmu, what are you doing here?"

The man carrying the giant ruler was named Xiao Linmu. He was the number one young talent in the Righteous Qi Hall, about the same age as Chu Shiye. Both were exceptional geniuses, and their cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Earthly Realm.

"So it's Madam Luo. Where is Brother Yuanshan?"

Xiao Linmu breathed a sigh of relief and recounted the whole story. He had encountered a similar situation to Luo Yuanshan and his wife. They had also escaped from the South Gate and fled all the way to the Fallen God Mountain Range. The two people beside him were also Earth Realm disciples of the Righteous Qi Hall, whom he had met along the way.

"I see. Brother Shan is chasing Chu Shiye and will be here soon," Song Lian said calmly.

"Brother Yuanshan is chasing Chu Shiye?" Xiao Linmu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Song Lian mustered her inner energy to conceal her exhausted state and smiled, "That's right. Chu Shiye overestimated himself and dared to come alone to chase my wife and me. We were seriously injured by our combined efforts. I protected Han'er and left first, while Brother Shan went to chase after Chu Shiye."

Xiao Linmu nodded, seemingly convinced to some extent, and forced a smile: "The Fallen God Mountains are fraught with danger. Madam Luo might as well travel with us, so we can look out for each other."

……

A clear stream flows, shaded by green trees, and beside an inconspicuous mountain stream, several thatched huts have recently been built.

A flat area was cleared in front of the house and a fence was used to enclose the yard.

Inside the courtyard, a young man in black robes danced with a sword. The sword's edge swept across, leaving behind a dark, gleaming sword aura. The sword aura exploded, resembling a ghost.

Behind the boy, a phantom blood-red shadow stood three zhang tall, with a human body and a dragon tail, exuding extraordinary majesty.

A moment later, the young man sheathed his sword, feeling quite pleased.

"I have finally mastered the Hades Sword Technique to a minor level, and my swordsmanship has reached the peak of 'the sword follows the heart'."

For the past three months, Emperor Yi spent most of his time in this thatched hut, which was about a thousand miles away from the dragon's nest.

Although the cultivation environment in the Dragon's Nest was excellent, the rich holy energy within it constantly stirred the holy body's origin within him. Staying there for a long time would certainly allow his cultivation to improve rapidly, but it would not be able to solidify his foundation to break through to the supreme realm of the Profound Realm.

This was a major event concerning his cultivation, and even a Nascent Soul Half-Saint dared not neglect it. So he set up a Half-Saint formation on the edge of the Fallen God Mountain Range, which was a thousand miles away from the Dragon Nest, and had Qing Yupeng regularly take him and Ziyuan to the Dragon Nest for cultivation.

At most, only fourth-tier savage beasts roam the edge of the Fallen God Mountains, but with the semi-saint magic array in place, there's not much danger.

If they were to encounter real danger, as long as they activated the mark left by the Nascent Soul Half-Saint, a distance of a thousand miles would be covered in no time for the Half-Saint.

"In three months, I have made good progress in both martial arts and mental cultivation."

Di Yi recalled the earlier phantom of a human body with a dragon tail, which was a blood beast he had condensed after breaking through to the mid-stage of the Profound Realm.

In the Profound Realm, the blood and qi are profound. As the cultivation level increases, the blood and qi will be released and condensed into various means. At the Lesser, Middle, and Greater levels, one can respectively condense blood and qi into beasts, condense blood and qi into soldiers, and condense blood and qi into arrays.

Blood beasts, blood soldiers, and blood formations can all greatly enhance a martial artist's strength. However, he did not expect that he would condense a blood energy phantom after breaking through to the mid-stage of the Profound Realm, and that it would be so similar to the pale golden phantom in the heart of the Flame Demon.

He didn't know if this could be considered a blood beast. With a human body and a dragon's tail, could it be considered a beast?
For the past three months, he went to the dragon's nest every five days, using the True Source Demon Eye and Blood Spirit Vein to extract the mixed bloodline power from the dragon egg and send it into the Heart of the Flame Demon as food for the human-bodied dragon-tailed phantom.

After three months, the phantom had become much more solid, turning from pale gold to gold. The Heart of the Flame Demon had also gradually changed, with a faint golden light appearing in the originally crimson sea of ​​fire, as if some kind of transformation was taking place.

With Emperor Yi's help to extract the mixed bloodline, the young dragon inside the dragon egg entered a second development, transforming into the five-clawed fire dragon of ancient times. However, the time for its birth could only be postponed, and it was unknown how long it would take before it could hatch.

Di Yi wasn't in a hurry. He diligently cultivated every day, keeping up with both his mental strength and martial arts, and lived a very fulfilling life.

Just then, the sound of fighting suddenly came from outside the valley.

Ziyuan flew in from the valley entrance, holding a long spear in her hand.

"Young master, there is a fight outside the valley. Two martial artists at the Earth Realm are chasing a woman who is also with a little girl."

"The Earthly Realm?" Emperor Yi glanced at the Azure Feather Roc, who was pretending to sleep on a boulder in the distance, and felt reassured.

"Let's go and check out the situation."
