Whoosh—
A mass of blood the size of a human head appeared in the Flame Emperor's palm, shimmering with numerous mysterious crimson patterns.
Upon closer inspection, this was clearly a mass of Emperor Dao Blood, the blood of an ancient Great Emperor.
Moreover, the number of Supreme Emperor Marks within it was dense and numerous, vaguely seeming to involve some extremely astonishing mysteries. It was unmistakably Emperor Dao Essence Blood.
It could also be called Ancient Emperor Essence Blood.
"The Ancient Emperor Essence Blood of the Ancient Heaven Emperor!?" Chaos God Emperor was astonished. He could naturally tell that this mass of blood was the Ancient Emperor Essence Blood of the Ancient Heaven Emperor, extraordinary and shimmering with a special radiance. That familiar aura could belong to no one else but the Ancient Heaven Emperor.
He just hadn't expected the Flame Emperor to still possess so much of the Ancient Heaven Emperor's Ancient Emperor Essence Blood.
Even for an ancient Great Emperor, the amount of Ancient Emperor Essence Blood in their entire body was absolutely not much. The head-sized Ancient Emperor Essence Blood before them probably accounted for about twenty percent of an ancient Great Emperor's total.
Ye Chen was stunned: "Old Yan, where did you get this Ancient Emperor Essence Blood?"
At the same time, he felt quite covetous towards this Ancient Emperor Essence Blood.
Currently, his Chaos Saint Body was precisely in a state of bottleneck. If he could utilize this mass of Ancient Emperor Essence Blood, perhaps it could allow his Chaos Saint Body to advance a step further, undergo a more powerful transformation, enabling it to withstand the Origin Universe devouring more world origins, thereby growing.
The Flame Emperor chuckled: "I extracted it while drawing out Tian Gu's Emperor Dao Origin. It's about twenty-something percent of his Ancient Emperor Essence Blood."
Ye Chen was dumbfounded, then felt deep pity for the Ancient Heaven Emperor.
Not only had sixty percent of his Emperor Dao Origin been extracted, but twenty percent of his Ancient Emperor Essence Blood had also been drawn out. He was probably one of the most pitiful Supreme Ones on the Origin Ancient Path.
Chaos God Emperor looked covetously at the twenty percent of the Ancient Heaven Emperor's Ancient Emperor Essence Blood, cautiously asking: "Flame Emperor, you are...?"
Although he didn't finish the sentence, the meaning was clear and obvious.
Ancient Emperor Essence Blood was a treasure that even ancient Great Emperors would find quite covetable and desirable.
"You helped Little Chen, so This Emperor naturally won't treat you unfairly." The Flame Emperor's finger made a slicing motion. The head-sized Ancient Emperor Essence Blood was split into two, each mass equivalent to ten percent. One of them flew towards Chaos God Emperor.
Although Chaos God Emperor very much wanted to obtain the other half as well, he knew that the other ten percent of Ancient Emperor Essence Blood was most likely reserved for Ye Chen. Moreover, even just ten percent was enough to satisfy him. He quickly said: "Thank you, Flame Emperor, for the gift."
"No need for formalities." The Flame Emperor waved his hand, then smiled faintly: "Chaos God, This Emperor knows you haven't joined the ranks of any of the strongest Emperors or Immortal Kings. If you wish, you can join This Emperor's forces and follow This Emperor in campaigning on the Origin Ancient Path."
"Of course, This Emperor won't force you. It's just that although ancient Great Emperors are powerful, on the Origin Ancient Path where numerous heavens' Supreme Ones stand tall, and with the strongest Emperors, Immortal Kings, and other giants of the Chaos Sea present, the difficulty of advancing towards the Origin Land is imaginable. You might consider it."
Chaos God Emperor fell silent. He naturally understood what the Flame Emperor meant.
Ancient Great Emperors were lofty Supreme figures wherever they stood, with infinite lifespans, enduring as long as the sun and moon.
But the Origin Ancient Path was too special. It gathered numerous Supreme Ones from the Chaos Sea, reputed to be the Seventy-Two Supreme Ones, with more than a handful of the strongest Emperors, Immortal Kings, and other giants present. For an ancient Great Emperor to try to break through to the Origin Land via this path was undoubtedly an extremely difficult matter.
"Flame Emperor, allow me to consider it," Chaos God Emperor said.
"That's only fair. There's no need to decide immediately. Even if you don't join, it's fine. Feel free to visit the Flame Emperor Domain when you have time." The Flame Emperor smiled faintly.
Chaos God Emperor turned and tore open the Supreme Domain to leave.
Within the Supreme Domain, only Ye Chen and the Flame Emperor remained.
Ye Chen smiled wryly: "Old Yan, I've really troubled you to come all this way."
The Flame Emperor glared: "If you died, this old man would lose a close friend."
The Flame Emperor's words moved Ye Chen deeply.
"Alright, save the touching words. This Emperor Dao Origin is for you." The Flame Emperor grabbed the sixty percent Emperor Dao Origin and directly infused it into the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, perfectly merging it with the nearly forty percent Emperor Dao Origin already within.
Boom—
The Emperor Dao Origin of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body was completely perfected, the union of three ancient Great Emperors' Emperor Dao Origins. Under the Flame Emperor's refining efforts, it became flawless and complete.
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body could feel that after the Emperor Dao Origin was perfected, it autonomously circulated at all times, actually capable of absorbing streams of supreme, intangible power, transforming it into Supreme-level mighty power that filled its own body.
Under such Supreme mighty power, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body silently and gradually grew even stronger.
The Flame Emperor laughed: "Feel it now?"
Ye Chen was astonished: "Old Yan, what's going on? My Great Emperor Reincarnation Body isn't a true ancient Great Emperor, so why can it transform Emperor Dao mighty power? Even with a perfected Emperor Dao Origin, it shouldn't be possible."
"It just means your understanding of Emperor Dao Origin is insufficient," the Flame Emperor said. "Emperor Dao Origin is the origin source of an ancient Great Emperor, just like the Saint Body Origin of your Chaos Saint Body. It's the same principle. The origin source can evolve power of the corresponding level. Emperor Dao Origin can naturally give rise to Supreme Emperor's power."
"Of course, if it were an ancient Great Emperor, even an incomplete Emperor Dao Origin could give rise to Supreme mighty power. But you are not an ancient Great Emperor. An incomplete Emperor Dao Origin cannot achieve that. Only a flawless, perfected Emperor Dao Origin can give rise to Supreme mighty power for you."
"However, it's merely Supreme Emperor's power. The true reason ancient Great Emperors are powerful isn't just because of Supreme Emperor's power, but more importantly because of the Supreme Emperor Laws they master. This is the true source of an ancient Great Emperor's supreme invincibility."
Ye Chen understood. The perfected Emperor Dao Origin absorbed the boundless essence energy of the great universe, transforming it into even more powerful Supreme Emperor's power.
He had a premonition that from now on, the power of the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body would reach a new level. Perhaps, without using the Emperor Star or the Floating Slaughter Emperor Halberd, it would be enough to rival a true Emperor Lord.
The Flame Emperor still held the ten percent of Ancient Emperor Essence Blood. He glanced at Ye Chen and shook his head slightly with some helplessness: "Little Chen, your Chaos Saint Body is indeed very powerful, but your cultivation realm is ultimately too low. You absolutely cannot completely devour and refine this one-tenth of Ancient Emperor Essence Blood. Otherwise, even your Chaos Saint Body, which is stronger than an ordinary Monarch, would be utterly annihilated."
Ancient Emperor Essence Blood was in no way inferior to Emperor Dao Origin, containing extremely terrifying Emperor-level mighty power and potent Supreme Emperor Laws within.
It was like an innate expert, no matter how powerful, even if comparable to a Demigod, could not contain one-tenth of a Saint's Saint Realm Essence Blood.
The laws and energy contained within would absolutely explode an innate expert alive.
The same principle applied here.
Ye Chen smiled wryly. This was a classic case of treasure being right before his eyes yet unusable.
The Flame Emperor smiled: "Of course, since I left this one-tenth of Ancient Emperor Essence Blood, I won't let it go to waste."
