The sudden appearance of that pair of dragon eyes made the other flashing golden divine lights all vanish.
The boundless universe was pitch-dark. There was only this pair of golden dragon eyes containing scarlet flame.
Compared to the other pairs of dragon eyes, this pair was not too different; there was just a scarlet flame in the depths of these eyes, making anyone who looked at them tremble in fear.
When that pair of dragon eyes stared at Xiao Chen, he felt enormous pressure—far more than what those other pairs of dragon eyes gave off.
"Which Dragon Emperor is that? My Azure Dragon bloodline has more than two hundred Dragon Emperors. Still, I do not recall a Dragon Emperor like that."
The azure-clad man, Hong Xue, and the others were all stunned by the intense pressure.
The Azure Dragon bloodline had lasted for countless epochs, passed down for millions—billions—of years. It had produced more than two hundred Dragon Emperors. Although there were many of them, they were not particularly hard to remember.
However, no matter how hard this group thought, no Dragon Emperor with scarlet flames burning in their eyes like that came to mind.
Only that old Dragon Horse had eyes brimming with tears of excitement, unable to control itself. Tears flowed continuously as if it saw something incredible.
"Big Brother Dragon, who is this?"
The Dragon Horse's voice sounded somewhat choked."This is my old master, the builder of the Azure Dragon Palace, the strongest Dragon Emperor in the history of the Azure Dragon bloodline."
The moment the Dragon Horse said that, it greatly startled the others.
No wonder they could not guess his identity. After this Dragon Emperor passed on, his inheritance had never appeared.
However, the entire Dragon Race knew the stories of this Dragon Emperor; everyone spoke of him. Calling him the greatest Dragon Emperor in the history of the Dragon Race was no exaggeration.
When this Dragon Emperor was alive, he was known as the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor. He strongly advocated ending slaughter through slaughter. While he was not the strongest Dragon Emperor in history, he was definitely the most legendary with the greatest strength of character.
Due to the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor, none of the other Great Desolate Hundred Races dared to offend the Dragon Race. That was the Dragon Race's most glorious period. Its prestige spread far and wide, impacting everywhere.
"Heaven has eyes. I thought that the old master's inheritance would never appear. Heaven is truly blessing my Azure Dragon bloodline. Heaven truly has eyes!" the old Dragon Horse muttered excitedly under its breath.
"Whoosh!"
That pair of dragon eyes vanished, and a beam of golden light traversed the universe in merely the blink of an eye and entered Xiao Chen's body.
Then, the beam of light turned into a dragon seal reminiscent of a jade strip and entered Xiao Chen's Heart of an Emperor.
Then, the dragon seal moved rapidly like a shooting star, streaking at lightning speed towards the mysterious purple Emperor's Door in the Heart of an Emperor.
Xiao Chen's expression changed. What is it doing? Based on its relentless advance, it seemed like it wants to shatter the purple Emperor's Door.
"Boom!" Before Xiao Chen could react, the purple Emperor's Door shattered.
After that, the shock waves swept through the entire Heart of an Emperor."Crack! Crack!" Before the puissant might of the dragon seal, the Heart of an Emperor could not endure the heavy burden and likewise shattered.
Intense pain spread throughout Xiao Chen's body, causing him to roar out involuntarily. All the hairs on his head stood straight up.
The Great Desolate Divine Light burst out uncontrollably from his eyes. The golden divine light looked like it would pierce through the sky.
A strong killing Qi came from Xiao Chen's body, turning him berserk.
"Whoosh!"
In the depths of Xiao Chen's eyes, a scarlet pupil forcibly opened amid the golden divine light. It infused this golden divine light with a burning scarlet flame, looking extremely strange.
The pain was too intense. Xiao Chen could not endure for long and fell unconscious.
"Xiao Chen!"
Xiao Chen's appearance scared Ao Jiao into rushing out of the Lunar Shadow Saber and hugging him.
Seeing Xiao Chen's pale complexion and blood leaking out of his skin all over his body, Ao Jiao looked anxiously at the old Dragon Horse and asked, "Big Brother Dragon, will Xiao Chen be alright?"
By now, the old Dragon Horse had already regained its calm. It said, "He is fine. This is just temporary. He only fainted because he could not endure the energy from the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's inheritance."
The azure-clad man added with an amiable expression, "Don't worry. Although Master Xiao Chen is currently weak, the Dragon Emperor's inheritance is reasonable. It will automatically split off some energy to protect his vitals, enough to ensure his survival."
When Ao Jiao heard that, she quickly checked Xiao Chen's condition. Indeed, it was as the azure-clad man said.
Xiao Chen's internal organs and the most important brain were all enveloped in mysterious energy. On the surface, he looked severely injured, but in reality, his internal injuries were relatively light.
With this, Ao Jiao relaxed and her emotions calmed.
The black-clad old man said, "Given the condition of his physical body, he should recover right away."
At this moment, the black-clad old man's feelings were complicated. The Azure Emperor back then was in no way inferior to Xiao Chen, even stronger in some aspects. However, not a single Dragon Emperor opened their eyes for the Azure Emperor.
Today, Xiao Chen not only caused the various Dragon Emperors to fight over him but also managed to startle the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor, the strongest in the Azure Dragon bloodline's history, into action.
It could only be said that life was unpredictable.
Not too long later, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. His head felt heavy as he rubbed his temples.
"Greetings, Master!"
The moment Xiao Chen opened his eyes, he saw the old Dragon Horse, the azure-clad man, and all the other Item Spirits of the Azure Dragon Palace kneeling orderly in greeting.
This startled Xiao Chen. He quickly got up and said, "Seniors, please get up. There is no need to do this."
Now that Xiao Chen obtained the inheritance, he was already the master of the Azure Dragon Palace. However, he had never paid much note to things like social ranking. Even if he was their master, there was no need for them to greet him like that.
"Many thanks, Master."
Xiao Chen helplessly smiled bitterly. Master it is, then. After all, it is just a term of address.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen recalled that the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's dragon seal inheritance had shattered his Emperor's Door and even his Heart of an Emperor.
At this thought, he paled slightly, feeling an anxiety that he never felt before.
The Emperor's Door was shattered and the Heart of an Emperor destroyed. Was he crippled?
Xiao Chen sent his Spiritual Sense into his body and took a look. The sight that greeted him shocked him. Where the Heart of an Emperor had been, there was now a lake of clear water suffused with a new kind of energy.
He seemed to have broken through some kind of restriction, entering a whole new realm—a realm that no one in the Kunlun Realm had entered.
The lake was formed by Primordial Energy. However, he vaguely felt that the energy it contained was even stronger than Primordial Energy.
Strange, what is going on?
Seeing the doubts in Xiao Chen's eyes, the old Dragon Horse said, "Hong Xue, please give him a simple explanation about his current situation."
The girl in her prime, wearing red, smiled and nodded. Then, she looked at Xiao Chen and said, "The Nine Heavens of Martial Emperor in the Kunlun Realm is known as the Nine Heavens of Transcending Mortality outside this abandoned land. Once one surpasses these Nine Heavens, one will no longer be mortal and is known as a Veritable Personage.
"In the outer realm, there is a saying, 'If one wants to become a god, one must first become a person. ' The ones worthy of being called a true person are Veritable Personage Realm cultivators. This is the threshold for one to be considered barely an expert in the outer realm.
"The Veritable Personage Realm can be split into three stages: the Veritable Essence Stage, the Yin Essence Stage, and the Yang Essence Stage. Right now, Master is at the Veritable Essence Stage."
Hong Xue gave Xiao Chen a simple explanation, allowing him to gain some understanding even though he was still confused.
However, the main thing was that by relying on the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's inheritance, he had broken the constraints of Martial Emperor.
Xiao Chen asked softly, "So, am I considered to have surpassed Prime?"
Hong Xue entered deep thought and then replied, "Although the strength that Master grasps right now is similar to that of Primes, in reality, they still have not broken through Martial Emperor. However, Master has already broken through the constraints and has unlimited potential. Saying that you have surpassed Prime is not wrong."
The old Dragon Horse said, "Let's not talk about this first. I'll bring you to the Martial Technique pavilion, the Profound Tool pavilion, and the various meditation rooms of the Azure Dragon Palace to pick out some treasures."
Xiao Chen felt excited. Then, he remembered what he needed to do, so he said quickly, "There is no rush for that. I wish to go outside and take a look first, to see the situation of my big brother and the Spirit Fox King."
Immediately after saying that, Xiao Chen discovered that the expressions of the old Dragon Horse, the black-clad old man, and the others appeared somewhat unsightly.
