# Chapter 992: I Am the Flame Emperor
Lin Feng and Qiongqi leaped together into the space below. A terrifying rolling demonic aura tightly wrapped around both their bodies, and dreadful blood energy swirled around them, causing Lin Feng's blood to continue boiling violently.
What appeared before Lin Feng was a space of modest size. Below was a pool of constantly seething blood, crimson red, brimming with terrifying vitality. Strands of bloody light filled this entire space, all of it dreadful demonic aura that had been sealed here for who knows how many years.
"What a find! To actually seal a fresh blood pool here, keeping the blood energy from leaking out. There must be something good inside." Qiongqi stared at the blood pool. This was genuine demon dragon essence blood.
"Kid, hurry up, swallow this blood." Qiongqi roared at Lin Feng, causing Lin Feng's expression to stiffen. Swallow it?
This blood pool was countless times more powerful than the blood he had soaked in back in the secret realm. This old bastard wanted him to swallow all this essence blood?
"No time left. You can't take this blood away. If you don't swallow it now, it'll be wasted. Hurry up for this Emperor." Qiongqi roared angrily, then suddenly slammed a palm onto Lin Feng's body, sending him crashing into the blood pool.
In that instant, the blood throughout Lin Feng's body erupted into a full boil. He could almost hear a rushing sound—the roar of his own blood.
Raising his head, Lin Feng felt a terrifying power coiling around him, yet his gaze remained fixed on Qiongqi, somewhat at a loss.
"Kid, hurry up! Do you want to die? Do you want to be bullied and humiliated forever? This is your chance to transform your bloodline. If you waste it, this Emperor is done with you—we go our separate ways." Qiongqi roared at Lin Feng. This little bastard actually dared not swallow it. How infuriating! If it were anyone else, they would have gone mad with excitement, yet he was still hesitating.
"Infuriating this Emperor to death." Qiongqi stared fixedly at Lin Feng.
At this moment, a sharp glint flashed through Lin Feng's eyes. Did he want to be bullied forever? Despised forever?
Of course not. Whether it was Young Master Tianlin or Qiu Junluo and the others, they all possessed formidable bloodline power. They stood high above, looking down on him, Lin Feng, believing themselves to be on the clouds because their bloodlines were noble, inheriting the bloodline power of the mighty. And Xuanyuan Potian was even more so, arrogant and looking down on everything, because he possessed imperial bloodline, being a descendant of an emperor.
But he, Lin Feng, still had the bloodline power of a venerable from who knows how many generations ago—a bloodline power he couldn't even feel in ordinary times.
"Screw it." Lin Feng opened his mouth and sucked in fiercely. Instantly, the violent boiling dragon blood flowed down his throat into his body, circulating endlessly within him.
In that moment, Lin Feng felt as if his body was about to explode. All his meridians were expanding continuously, and his internal organs seemed to be undergoing transformation.
"Activate your bloodline power. Absorb as much as you can. Transform your bloodline. You have a trace of dragon bloodline—absorb everything you can without wasting it. What you can't absorb can still temper your physical body." Qiongqi shouted at Lin Feng. This time, Lin Feng truly felt his own bloodline power. He frantically activated and ignited it. His blood roared like a raging sea.
Qiongqi stared at the pool of dragon blood, waving his hand through the air. Instantly, a terrifying devouring force absorbed the dragon blood, pulling it into specially arranged patterns. There was so much dragon essence blood that Lin Feng couldn't absorb it all. Such good stuff couldn't be wasted—he could take as much as possible.
"Roar..." Dragon cries echoed. A terrifying demonic power suddenly burst forth, causing Qiongqi's expression to freeze. Then his gaze fell on Lin Feng. At this moment, Lin Feng, with eyes closed, continued to devour the dragon blood through his open mouth. And within that dragon blood, there was actually a dazzling crystal, completely blood-red, eerily like blood itself, containing surging vitality and terrifying newborn demonic power.
"This is... a demon core!"
Qiongqi's eyes stiffened, and he roared at Lin Feng: "Stop!"
But at this moment, Lin Feng couldn't stop anymore. Having closed his eyes to devour the dragon blood, he had forgotten everything. He swallowed the demon core in one gulp. This scene froze Qiongqi's gaze, his eyes wide open, staring unblinkingly at Lin Feng.
"You bastard, beast! Wasting heavenly treasures!" Qiongqi was so angry smoke was coming out of his seven orifices, his heart convulsing. This damned bastard swallowed it—he actually swallowed an entire demon core into his stomach!
That was a demon dragon's core, containing terrifying demonic power. To him, it was an absolute treasure, and this bastard Lin Feng had swallowed it in one gulp.
At this moment, Qiongqi felt like slapping Lin Feng to death.
"Roar!" A terrifying dragon roar came from the blood pool. With a thunderous crash, Lin Feng was shaken until he spat blood. His entire body trembled violently. Opening his eyes, his gaze froze once again.
It wasn't just Lin Feng—Qiongqi's gaze also froze. Before them, an illusory dragon shadow had appeared, carrying icy killing intent.
"My child! You swallowed my child!"
This dragon shadow still possessed life, its gaze fixed on Lin Feng.
"Roar..." The dragon shadow roared to the sky, shaking Lin Feng until he coughed up blood continuously. Child? He had swallowed this dragon's child?
At this moment, Qiongqi was also stunned, his gaze flickering rapidly, his mind working at lightning speed.
"Dragon soul. In life, the demon dragon used its essence blood to protect the young dragon's demon core, sealing a wisp of its own undispersed dragon soul here as well, guarding its child!"
Qiongqi's gaze stiffened. Everything suddenly became clear. No wonder it had been willing to spit out its own demon core to attract others' attention. No wonder its belly claws were tightly gripping this ground. This was what it was protecting. Yet Lin Feng had accidentally swallowed it.
"Damn human, die!" The demon dragon roared, about to tear Lin Feng apart.
"Kill him, and your child will surely die." Qiongqi roared fiercely. The dragon's claws had already reached Lin Feng's face but didn't strike down. Turning its head, its eyes stared icily at Qiongqi.
"Right now, there are countless experts outside. Even your demon core couldn't be protected and was taken. If you kill him, even if you can dig out your child, it will surely be taken by the experts outside and refined. Then your child, which you have guarded for countless years, nourished with essence blood, and protected with your dragon soul, will be utterly annihilated."
Qiongqi's voice was solemn, like a morning drum or evening bell, striking the dragon shadow's heart, causing its body to tremble slightly. Thinking of this outcome, it felt true sorrow.
"No matter what, you all must die." The demon dragon shadow said icily.
"You stupid dragon. He has swallowed your essence blood. From now on, his body will possess your bloodline power. Although he has swallowed your child's demon core into his stomach, he hasn't refined it yet. Now, his bloodline power can nourish your child, and his body can be used to protect your child from death—much better than being sealed in this dark space."
Qiongqi roared at the dragon shadow, causing its expression to stiffen. But its icy expression didn't diminish at all as it stared at Qiongqi: "Don't try to trick me into not killing you. I have no trust in you at all. In the future, you will surely refine my child!"
"This Emperor guarantees that if there is an opportunity, I will definitely let your child be reborn."
"What qualification does a waste heavenly demon have to guarantee that to me?" The dragon shadow roared at Qiongqi.
"Nonsense! Look carefully. Does this Emperor look like a heavenly demon to you? Would a heavenly demon be able to decipher your dragon language and unlock the demon patterns you inscribed?" Qiongqi's long hair flew wildly. At this moment, he was filled with powerful dignity, his gaze fixed on the dragon shadow, exuding an aura of looking down upon all living things.
In this moment, Qiongqi was dignified, domineering, carrying the bearing of a supreme expert. Lin Feng's expression froze. He hadn't expected this bastard could have such a handsome bearing.
But at this moment, Lin Feng's heart was also trembling. Too shocking—he had actually swallowed this demon dragon's child!
"Who are you?" The demon dragon's enormous pupils stared at Qiongqi. It had certainly noticed Qiongqi's extraordinary bearing at this moment. The temperament of an expert could not be faked. That aura of dominating the world and looking down on all living things was carved into the bones.
"I am the Flame Emperor. My cultivation was greatly reduced due to a world-shaking battle in the past, and now I am possessing a heavenly demon. With this Emperor's guarantee, you should be at ease!" Qiongqi's red hair danced wildly as he calmly gazed at the dragon shadow. Before the Flame Emperor, even a demon dragon had nothing to be proud of!
