Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 263 Luoshui, Flame Demon

The surroundings returned to calm. Many powerful figures in the city concealed their auras at this moment, not daring to show their faces, for fear of disturbing Di Yi and getting into trouble.

"call!"

Di Yi let out a light breath and casually suppressed Shi Kai, the Blood Bee Asura King, and a swarm of Blood Emperor Bees into his personal spatial treasure.

With a turn of his head, he landed back in Los Angeles.

Zi Qian breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward, her face full of surprise and joy. Even though she was used to the man in front of her creating countless miracles, she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw him easily defeat the Blood Bee Asura King.

His progress is incredibly fast.

The Black Phoenix and the White Vermilion Bird watched Di Yi from afar, without coming forward to communicate, a sense of awe rising in their hearts.

"With such a powerful figure from the Kunlun Realm arriving at Luoshui, the Luoshui River is going to be even more lively now," Black Phoenix murmured with a sigh.

“Many experts from the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Beginning Civilization, and the Imperial Ancestor Dynasty have come to Luoshui. The Taibai Realm’s strength in this area is limited. Perhaps we can form an alliance with Emperor Yi and compete for the opportunities in Luoshui together,” said Bai Zhuque.

"We can't make this decision ourselves. Let's contact our martial uncle first and let him make the decision."

……

Inside a separate room on the roof of the Void Saint Tower, an array prevented outside detection.

Blood queen bees flew around the room, while Blood Bee Asura King and Shi Kai stood quietly to the side, each one more imposing than the other.

Instead of killing the two, Di Yi used the Soul Seal to take them as his servants. The two high-level Saint Kings' henchmen were of considerable value to him now.

According to Blood Bee Asura King and Shi Kai, not many of the ten races of Hell have come to Luoshui, because the Merit War has only just begun and most of the true powerhouses of Hell have not yet entered Kunlun.

Aside from the Blood Bee Asura King, the only one truly worthy of being mentioned is the Ghost Lord's ninth son, Chang.

The Ghost Lord is a giant among the ghosts of the underworld. He survived twelve ghost tribulations and existed for several eons.

Ghost cultivators can become Ghost Emperors after seven tribulations, and Ghost Gods after passing ten tribulations. This shows just how powerful Ghost Lords are.

The ghost race cannot reproduce. The nine offspring of the Ghost Lord were all conceived by him using his own ghost body, and contained the Ghost Lord's divine power and divine patterns.

Chang is the youngest among them, and his cultivation is also at the peak of the Dao Domain Realm. His strength is comparable to that of the Blood Bee Asura King.

The Blood Bee Asura King's strongest weapon is its Blood Emperor Bees, which even a Nine-Step Saint King in the Heavenly Realm would find troublesome. The reason it couldn't be used against Emperor Yi is twofold: firstly, it didn't have time to unleash its power, and secondly, Emperor Yi's mental power cultivation is extremely strong. While attacking the Blood Bee Asura King, he also used mental power techniques to suppress the Blood Emperor Bees.

Although Chang does not possess the same abilities as the Blood Emperor Bee, as the son of the Ghost Lord, he holds a noble status and can mobilize a large number of Ghost Kings from the Earthly Fiend Ghost Cities to accompany him. In some ways, he poses a greater threat than the Blood Bee Asura King.

After storing Blood Bee Asura King and Shi Kai into his spatial treasure, Emperor Yi said to Zi Qian, "After this battle, no one should dare to run wild in Luo City for a while. It's time to go to Luoshui."

Zi Qian nodded in agreement, and the two of them left the Void Saint Tower together, heading towards the Luo River.

Luo City was originally located on the banks of the Luo River, and even with the restoration of the world and the great changes in the terrain, the distance between the two cities did not change much.

Soon, the two arrived at the Luo River.

Emperor Yi had visited Luoshui many times, but upon arriving again, he was somewhat taken aback, thinking he had come to the wrong place.

This is no longer the Luo River; it's clearly an endless ocean.

A faint mist floated on the water, shrouded in a mysterious power. Even with his spiritual strength, he could only see an area a few hundred miles away; beyond that, all was a blur.

The two used their movement techniques to transform into two streaks of rainbow light and headed towards the depths of the water.

After traversing hundreds of miles of waves, a faint fragrance wafts through the air.

"What a strange fragrance. It can actually affect my emotions and mind." Zi Qian's expression turned serious, as if she were facing a formidable enemy. With her current cultivation level, she could be considered a first-rate expert in the Kunlun Realm. It was really strange that she could be affected by a little fragrance.

Di Yi stopped and activated his True Source Demon Eye. In the distance, he saw a tulip, as tall as a tower. Each petal was like a ruby, crystal clear and extremely beautiful.

"It's a notoriously ferocious plant in the universe, the Tulip Demon Fragrance. This particular Tulip Demon Fragrance should be over 100,000 years old. It's a ferocious plant, but also an ancient sacred medicine that's 100,000 years old. We're quite lucky; we've only just arrived in Luoshui and we've already encountered such a treasure."

Instead of taking action himself, Di Yi released the Blood Bee Asura King and Shi Kai, sending them to collect the Tulip Demon Incense, while he carefully surveyed his surroundings.

A moment later, deep in the fog, he saw several huge floating islands in the distance, and his heart was filled with excitement.

Every island in the Luo River has an extraordinary origin, mostly left behind by beings from the divine realm after their fall, such as the Goddess of Luo from the Tianchu Civilization, and the Starry Sky Crocodile, a sub-divine beast that was once infamous throughout the universe...

"It seems that Luoshui has not fully recovered yet, and the deeper folded space has not been released. If we want to reach those islands, it will probably take some time," Di Yi guessed after noticing some clues.

“No wonder the powerful figures from all sides only gathered around the Luo River and didn’t go directly into it. It turns out that the seal on the Luo River has not been completely lifted. So what should we do? Stay here and wait?” Zi Qian frowned.

Di Yi did not answer, but pondered inwardly.

Before long, Blood Bee Asura King and Shi Kai returned. The tower-sized Tulip Demon Incense was suppressed by Blood Bee Asura King and reduced to only one foot in size, held in his palm.

"Master, fortunately you have lived up to your command."

Di Yi reached out and took the ferocious plant, examined it carefully, and said, "It is indeed a rare treasure. If used properly, even ordinary Nine-Step Saint Kings might get lost in its fragrance. It could be a good trump card."

After playing with it for a while, Di Yi did not put away the Tulip Demon Incense, but handed it to Zi Qian instead.

"Keep this flower for your self-defense. Stay near the Luo River for now and wait with the Blood Bee Asura King for the Luo River to fully recover so you can compete for the treasures within. The Kunlun Realm cannot be absent."

"And what about you?" Ziqian asked.

"I have other things to do and need to leave for a few days, so I'll leave this place to you."

Ziqian didn't press the matter further and agreed.

With a powerful figure like the Blood Bee Asura King in charge, Di Yi wasn't worried about Zi Qian's safety. He searched the edge of the Luo River again, harvesting dozens of ancient sacred herbs before leaving.

There are many cultivators from the Tianchu Civilization around the Luo River, but the Tianchu Fairy Luo Ji has not been seen. It is unknown whether she is in seclusion or has not yet arrived at the Luo River.

After leaving Luoshui, Di Yi did not stray far from Tianmo Ridge, but instead followed his memories to a deep gorge.

After the world was revived, Tianmo Ridge also underwent dramatic changes, with mountains expanding and the land extending. Even Di Yi had to put in some effort to find the exact location.

Before him lay a seemingly ordinary canyon, but he knew that beneath this seemingly ordinary canyon lay a mysterious underground space. It was there that Di Yi obtained the Heavenly Demon Black Hole Map and the Returning Void Twin Lotus.

The preciousness of the Heavenly Demon Black Hole Diagram goes without saying, and the mystery of the Returning Void Twin Lotus deepened Di Yi's understanding as his cultivation level increased.

This eternal flower, representing darkness, seems even more elusive than the Divine Lotus and the Chaotic Spacetime Lotus. Even the Heavenly Court's records contain very few mentions of it. In contrast, there are some records related to it in the Kunlun Realm, where the lineage has been severed.

This is very strange and extremely illogical, as if some unknown entity deliberately erased the records about the Guixu Twin Lotus.

When Di Yi first entered the underground world, he was just a minor Earth Realm martial artist. Now, revisiting this place, although his cultivation has become countless times stronger, his awe has only increased.

"Tianmo Ridge may seem ordinary, but it is actually a mysterious place that ranks among the top in the entire Kunlun Realm. The tomb of the Immovable King is here, and the Tianmo Sect, founded by the ancestor Tianmo, is also hidden here. There is a Tianmo Black Hole Map in the underground world, which is very likely left by the powerful members of the Tianmo Sect back then."

After a moment's thought, Di Yi made up his mind. He released the Divine Fire of Purification from his body, and the surrounding rocks and soil turned into dust and smoke. As he moved forward, all matter disappeared.

Thousands of feet, tens of thousands of feet, hundreds of thousands of feet... until we went down to three hundred thousand feet underground, the scene before us finally changed, and it was completely different from before.

Before their eyes lay a vast, red ocean of lava, its temperature so high it posed a threat to even the saints.

Within the sea of ​​magma, there were golden veins, and the temperature was astonishing, causing Di Yi to frown.

"This is……"

His gaze followed the direction of the golden veins and found that all the golden veins were converging in one direction.

After traveling approximately six thousand miles along the veins, the scene before him astonished Di Yi.

This is a pure golden ocean of flames, with extremely dense fire-attribute holy rules and an astonishingly high temperature, enough to threaten most holy kings.

But what truly astonished him was the towering mountain in the center of the inferno.

No, it was actually a hand.

A giant hand, hundreds of miles in size, plunged into a sea of ​​golden magma below its wrist.

He held his palms flat, as if using all his strength to lift up the entire Heavenly Demon Ridge.

For some reason, the closer he got to that palm, the more active the holy blood within the Emperor's body became, and a sense of unease stirred within him.

"What is the origin of this hand? Is there an enormous divine corpse beneath the magma?"

He was puzzled, so he released the Purifying Divine Fire to protect himself and flew it into his palm.

The moment I landed, a sensation originating from my bloodline swept through my entire body.

"I understand now. This is the corpse of the Flame Demon. Even if it's not the Flame Demon, it must be a descendant of the Flame Demon."

Emperor Yi suddenly realized.

He was born with the Heart of a Fiery Demon, and the bloodline of the Chaotic Ancient Fiery Demon flowed through his body. Although the Heart of the Fiery Demon was devoured and assimilated by the Chaotic God-Demon Body, it did not disappear and still exists deep within his bloodline.

Standing at the center of this palm, fragments of the rules deep within the bloodline began to emerge.

Cultivation techniques, sacred arts, secret methods... they were scattered, but numerous, like a floodgate being opened, with a swarm of people pouring out.

The fire-attribute energy between heaven and earth was incredibly dense. At this moment, it seemed to be summoned and converged towards Di Yi, surging wildly into his 144 physical acupoints.

Di Yi initially resisted, but then realized that these energies did not harm him; on the contrary, they were helping him temper his physical body, so he simply relaxed his mind.

His physical body changed; his legs disappeared and transformed into a dragon tail, revealing a form similar to that of the Flame Demon.

The ocean of 144 acupoints is constantly expanding and becoming full. Once it has accumulated to perfection, it can begin the process of immortalization, preparing for the physical transformation into a Great Sage.

Great Sage, you must condense an immortal holy body. The quality of the immortal holy body largely determines the level of a cultivator's future achievements.

Di Yi had already considered the immortal holy body he wanted to condense, with the five elements as the foundation and gods and demons as the bones.

To condense the most perfect immortal holy body, one must refine the corresponding special substances into the body.

If Di Yi wants to condense the most perfect Chaos God and Demon Immortal Holy Body, he needs to refine enough Five Elements substances and God and Demon substances into his body.

Fortunately, he had the Five Elements Earth and Divine Spring obtained from the Conferred God Platform, but he lacked the top-level substance corresponding to the demon.

At this moment, the fire-attribute energy surging between heaven and earth actually contained the most top-grade demonic substances. Although the quantity was not large, as long as it remained for a long time, it was still quite considerable and enough to meet Di Yi's needs for condensing an immortal holy body.

The element Earth is located within the Mysterious Embryo, and the Twin Lotus of Returning to the Void takes root in it, growing well.

The five elements of essence in the soil are released through the lotus body, flowing into the limbs and bones, and gathering in the acupoints.

At the same time, Di Yi took out the Divine Spring and began to refine it, balancing the five elements and demonic power within his body.

There was no sun or moon underground. After an unknown number of days, the dragon's tail disappeared, and Emperor Yi returned to his human form, his entire body enveloped in chaotic light.

When the 144 acupoints expand to a limit of one million cubic meters, the blood and qi become abundant, reaching the limit. The next step is to begin immortality.

Di Yi did not rush into this step, intending to fully master the surge in physical strength before beginning the immortalization of his acupoints.

He suppressed the chaotic radiance emanating from his body, clenched his fist, and felt an unprecedentedly powerful force.

"With my physical strength, there are probably not many people below the Great Sage level who can be my opponent. I just don't know if I can contend with the top three levels of powerhouses."

After some thought, Di Yi realized that relying solely on physical strength, it would be difficult to contend with the top three levels of experts below the Great Sage level. Even the weakest of the third-level experts were true masters comparable to the Immortal Great Sage.

Those who can contend with the Great Sage while possessing the body of a Saint King must also have incredibly strong physical strength; otherwise, they would not be able to fight against the Great Sage's immortal body.

"To contend with the Great Sage, my martial arts cultivation must at least break through to the ninth step of the Saint King, or my spiritual power must reach the late stage of the fifty-ninth level, but that should be enough for now."

The hands beneath his feet could not budge him in the slightest, let alone take him away.

After sensing the situation of the Blood Bee Asura King, Di Yi was not in a hurry to go to Luoshui, but instead thought of another place.

"The Eastern Holy City is the core of the entire Eastern Divine Land. Whoever controls the Eastern Holy City controls most of the Eastern Region. The Chen family is probably unreliable. Never mind, I'll go there myself."
