Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 31 Breaking out of the cocoon
Xia Xiongtu did not stay in the Fallen God Mountain Range any longer. The impact of Di Yi reaching the Supreme Realm of the Profound Realm was quite significant to him, making him realize that he had underestimated his nephew.

Di Yi refused to join the Xia family, but planned to compete for the position of the young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall. He needed to make many arrangements in advance to minimize resistance from all sides.

No more than two days after Xia Xiongtu left, news came from the Nascent Soul Half-Saint.

The young dragons inside the dragon's nest have completed their second stage of development and are about to emerge from their cocoons.

Upon receiving the news, Di Yi immediately took Zi Yuan and rode the Azure Feathered Roc back to the Dragon's Nest.

On the towering wooden platform, the three-foot-tall dragon egg has changed dramatically compared to three years ago. Its shell is now covered with intricate, deep red patterns that are both profound and mysterious.

The Nascent Soul Half-Saint and Emperor Yi stood together beside the dragon egg, feeling the immense life force within it, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"I'm afraid even the Hall Master didn't expect that Emperor Yi's Heart of the Flame Demon could cause such a mutation in the three-clawed Flame Dragon's egg, allowing a mixed-blood dragon egg to defy its innate nature and transform into a pure-blooded dragon."

The Nascent Soul Half-Saint was unaware of the existence of the True Source Demon Eye and could only attribute the root of everything to the Heart of the Flame Demon.

"here we go."

Upon seeing the tiny cracks appear on the dragon egg, the Emperor immediately perked up, eagerly anticipating the birth of the baby dragon inside.

After more than three years of careful nurturing, his expectations for this young dragon are quite high.

The hatching process didn't last long, only a quarter of an hour. A small creature about a foot long flew out of the egg, its body bathed in crimson-gold flames, with four legs and five claws, and two horns on its head, just like the legendary pure-blooded ancient fire dragon.

As soon as the little fire dragon was born, it buried itself in Di Yi's arms. Over the course of three years, it had become familiar with Di Yi's aura. With the help of the beast-taming talisman, Di Yi was like a parent to it.

"It really is a pure-blooded fire dragon. It is comparable to a fourth-tier savage beast as soon as it is born. It is truly enviable." The Nascent Soul Half-Saint chuckled. Savage beasts are different from humans. They value bloodline power more. The stronger the bloodline, the greater the potential and strength.

Dragons are the supreme savage beasts, and every pure-blooded dragon is incredibly powerful, almost destined to become a saint in the future.

Yanlong is not weak among the dragon race. Although he cannot compare with the five-clawed golden dragon and the five-clawed silver dragon, which are the most powerful bloodlines, he is still better than many savage beast races and even stronger than the human race's sacred body. He can be called a true dragon body.

"Now that the young dragon has been born, this trip to the dragon's nest has come to a successful conclusion. I should return to the First-Class Hall to report back to the Hall Master."

The Nascent Soul Half-Saint looked at Di Yi beside him and the baby dragon in his arms, feeling a complex mix of emotions.

Emperor Yi's attainment of the supreme realm of the Profound Realm could not be hidden from him.

Having reached the Supreme Realm twice in both the Yellow Realm and the Profound Realm, he has surpassed the Evil Emperor in his youth and deserves the title of Great Emperor.

The Nascent Soul Half-Saint was glad he made the choice back then. How could a mere Yellow Divine Being compare to the Emperor Yi in front of him? Even if he couldn't become the young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall in the future, it would only be a loss for the Black Market First-Class Hall.

"Let's go. It's been three and a half years since we left Huanyu Tian. It's time to go back."

……

Inside the mansion of Yipintang, Di Yi stood on the training ground, feeling somewhat dazed by the passing years.

Of the peach trees that were once imbued with the divine essence of the Holy Body and the resonance of the gods, only four remain alive today. They have all undergone a transformation, evolving from ordinary trees into spiritual trees.

It was already the height of summer, yet these four peach trees were still bursting with blossoms.

Interestingly, on the same peach tree, peach blossoms and fruits of varying ripeness all grew simultaneously. It was as if one tree could tell the story of all four seasons.

"It is said that the Eastern Sacred Academy has a Spirit Crane Pear Garden, which blooms once every three hundred years, bears fruit once every three hundred years, and takes another three hundred years to mature. Consuming one of these pears can not only improve one's cultivation and awaken one's intelligence, but also add thirty years to a martial artist's lifespan. It is the most precious treasure of the Eastern Sacred Academy."

"I wonder what changes my peach trees will undergo in the future, and what kind of wonders they will produce."

Di Yi picked a ripe peach, took a bite of the flesh, and found it juicy and refreshing.

Unfortunately, I didn't experience any of the miraculous effects of the Spirit Crane Pear. Apart from containing some spiritual energy, it had nothing special about it.

The little fire dragon coiled on the peach tree branch, like a small red snake. After spending a few days with it, Di Yi discovered that it was a lazy creature. All it did all day was eat and sleep, and it spent ten out of the twelve hours of the day sleeping.

Two days ago, Di Yue came to see it at this time and was greatly shocked. He took the initiative to take on the important task of feeding Di Yi and sent a large number of rare and precious materials from the Di family for the little fire dragon to eat.

They clearly regarded him as the second prodigy of the Di family, after Di Yi, who had the potential to become a saint.

Upon seeing this, Di Yi also felt a mischievous urge. As the only true master and rebirth parent of the little flame dragon, he personally gave it an extremely domineering name.

Emperor Flame!

I still remember the first time I saw Emperor Yi appear in the book in my previous life. He was dressed in black robes with a jade-like face, with a red dragon as his pet and the Seven Fiends Guardian by his side.

Now that the Crimson Dragon has returned to its rightful place and has transformed into a pure-blooded dragon, it will not be so easy for it to ascend to the position of the young master of the Black Market's First-Class Hall.

Xia Xiongtu sent news yesterday that the Xia family has selected a young genius from the clan, who will soon join the First-Class Hall and replace the deceased Xia Yunyi as one of the new candidates for the young master.

This was within Di Yi's expectations. Both of the Black Market's Evil Emperors came from the Xia family. As the master of the Black Market and the number one evil family, the Xia family's foundation was far more profound than that of other forces in the Black Market.

The Black Market Hall exists in all five regions, but the one under our feet only represents the Black Market Hall of the Eastern Region. The Evil Emperor City atop Tianzhu Peak, however, governs all the evil forces in the five regions of Kunlun.

Previously, the reason why the Sea-Dry Saints valued Di Yi was both because of the Xia family bloodline flowing in his veins and because they did not want to invest too many of the Xia family's younger generation of geniuses in the Eastern Region Black Market's First-Class Hall.

The reason why the Sage of the Dry Sea wanted Di Yi to join the Xia family was not because the Xia family lacked talent, but because he had a deeper consideration.

However, since Di Yi refused to be recruited, the Xia family had no choice but to select a new representative from within the clan.

Xia Shaoyang, who possesses the body of the earth element, is the candidate chosen by the Xia family to be the new young master.

The Body of Thick Earth is a special constitution, with a rigid form covering the ground and thick soil containing sand. It is not a sacred body, but it is no weaker than an ordinary sacred body.

Xia Shaoyang is only twelve years old, but his cultivation has already reached the mid-stage of the Earthly Realm. According to the information given by Xia Xiongtu, he is now a half-genius of the Six Absolutes, even stronger than Xia Yunyi, who was at the same level as Xia Yunyi in the past.

"Six and a half, he's quite a figure."

Emperor Yi shook his head and smiled, picked up the Crow Cry Sword, and walked towards the gate.

"Where does the young master intend to go?" asked Ziyuan, who had been attending to him.

"I'll go to the Broken Army Hall and challenge the Nine Absolutes Tower. I've been cultivating in the Fallen God Mountain for three and a half years. I want to see if I can pass the ninth level of the Nine Absolutes Tower with my current strength."
