He has been reincarnated through countless worlds, adorned with billions of mythological terms!

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Kurosawa's smile vanished.

After a moment, he slowly stood up and turned to look at Yun Yi.

"You're really amazing," he said with genuine emotion. "Of all the privileged individuals I've met, you're the only one who could see through my body as not being my true self on our first meeting."

Yun Yi did not answer.

"Your goal was never to cultivate a demon king capable of transforming into a dragon," Yun Yi said.

Kurosawa smiled slightly and did not deny it: "I spent six years transforming the entire demon realm into my body, dismantling, reassembling, feeding, and cultivating tens of thousands of great demons, not to become the lord of the demon realm."

"I am creating an egg for myself, an egg that will allow me to be perfectly reincarnated."

He turned to look at the dark golden sphere in the blood pool, his eyes filled with fanaticism: "Since you can see through my secrets, I might as well tell you directly."

"I was born into this world as a two-cent grass carp, which means my growth potential is ridiculously low."

"Reforging in the furnace is my only option."

Kurosawa's smile held a hint of ruthlessness:

"Don't fucking let me find out which authority brought so many newbies, or I'll take care of him first before I go after the Heavenly Palace."

Yun Yi nodded upon hearing this: "Indeed."

"In this life, I was reborn as an ordinary bird. Without some skills, things really won't be easy."

"But are you so sure I'm not the authorized person who brought the newcomer here?"

Kurosawa narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of a smile on his face: "A privileged individual who has the ability to interfere with the cycle of reincarnation and is punished for it has had their status deliberately lowered."

"His birth, without a doubt, was absolutely that of a maggot, or even a fully grown maggot would be the best option."

"You and I are just ordinary creatures, so you definitely aren't."

Yun Yi nodded: "Indeed."

"Where was that monster you said you knew? Don't tell me, this egg of yours is the monster you were trying to tell me about."

Kurosawa laughed: "Hahaha, alright, since you've put it that way, I won't hide anything from you."

He pointed to a wall to the side, where a hidden door appeared through a crack. "I was lucky to find this."

Behind the hidden door is a deep stone staircase leading downwards, with the walls covered in various sealing formations.

The further down you go, the more immense the demonic energy becomes, and mixed in with a trace of an extremely familiar aura.

Dragon energy.

Yun Yi paused slightly.

Kurosawa turned around and asked with a smile, "You felt it?"

Yun Yi didn't answer and continued to follow him down.

At the end of the stone steps was a massive bronze gate.

Even before the door was opened, the dragon aura was so thick it was almost suffocating.

Yun Yi raised his eyes, and the Eye of Truth silently began to work.

Everything behind the bronze gate began to gradually emerge before his eyes.

An extremely vast underground space, several times larger than the Demon Emperor's Palace above.

A colossal, crimson dragon, tens of thousands of feet long, coiled within, its scales as red as blood, each scale shimmering with a magma-like light.

Its dragon horns, several meters long, meandered upwards, gleaming with a captivating crimson gold.

It lay there quietly, as if asleep.

But Yun Yi knew that it wasn't asleep; it was sealed away.

The runes that covered the entire underground palace were all used to suppress it.

"See that?" Kurosawa's voice came from the side, filled with barely suppressed excitement. "The one locked up in here is my biggest find on this trip."

He reached out and pressed his hand on the massive bronze gate. "A real red dragon, or rather, a red dragon that has become an immortal."

"The reason why the Demon Realm has been able to cultivate so many demons with dragon bloodlines over the years is entirely due to its blood."

Yun Yi's gaze pierced through the massive bronze gate and landed on the crimson dragon.

He looked at it for a while, then suddenly spoke up: "This one's already dead, are you sure it'll work?"

Kurosawa paused, then turned to look at him: "You could tell that? Its powerful aura is still emanating, and the dragon soul within it still exists—"

"The death aura cannot be concealed," Yun Yi said. "Even if the dragon soul is still here, it is merely its unwillingness from its previous life forcibly remaining here."

Kurosawa was silent for a few seconds, then smiled, a smile tinged with an inexplicable chill: "Not bad."

"It was killed by people from the Heavenly Palace."

"To be precise, it is the Heavenly Emperor."

"I even seriously suspect that the highest authority in this world was once the Mandate of Heaven."

Yun Yi didn't speak.

Kurosawa continued, "This crimson dragon was once the true emperor of the demon realm."

"Ten thousand years ago, it fought with the Heavenly Emperor for the throne, and was severely injured and sealed here."

"Ten thousand years have passed, and most of them are already dead."

"I went to great lengths to move it here, nurtured it with the malevolent energy of the entire demon realm, and then extracted dragon blood from its corpse to cultivate demons."

"Once I completely purify the bloodline and create a vessel that can hold the dragon soul, I will be able to devour its last bit of dragon soul."

Yun Yi looked at him: "It is indeed dead, but its dragon soul remains. Aren't you afraid it will rise again?"

Kurosawa chuckled: "Otherwise, why do you think I created that egg? The Furnace Rebirth itself is meant to kill me once, and I'm prepared to perish together with its dragon soul."

"Let's go," Yun Yi said.

Kurosawa raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you tempted?"

"No need," Yun Yi shook his head. "This is your opportunity, why would I take it from you?"

As he said this, a very faint light flashed in his eyes.

He had already seen the most crucial structural parts of that red dragon very clearly.

Dragon bones, dragon blood, dragon soul—these have already been analyzed in secret, but they are not visible on the surface.

Kurosawa gave him a deep look, asked no further questions, and turned to lead him back the way he came.

Back in the main hall of the Demon Emperor's Palace, Heize had someone bring over a table made of ten-thousand-year-old black jade, on which several items were arranged side by side.

A yellowish bone scroll, a small jade bottle, and a strangely shaped black token.

"This is all I have."

Kurosawa said.

He first picked up the bone slips and tossed them to Yun Yi: "This is five years' worth of compilation."

"It contains my complete system for cultivating demons, including how to extract bloodlines, stimulate demonic beast mutations, refine demonic power, and build a demonic realm ecosystem. Everything you want to know is in there."

Yun Yi took it, but didn't rush to look at it. He held it in his hand and scanned it with his Eye of Truth.

He nodded after a moment: "It works."

Kurosawa picked up the jade bottle again: "This bottle contains the dragon blood I've saved."

"Every drop has undergone repeated purification and is sealed three times, so it cannot be taken directly."

"But with your abilities, you can use it however you like. I've given you everything."

Yun Yi didn't say anything and carefully put the two items away.

Kurosawa paused for a moment, then took it.

As soon as he probed inside with his divine sense, the smile on his face froze instantly.

Immediately afterwards, his expression changed from shock to ecstasy, and then from ecstasy to a kind of extreme excitement.

"This...this...it's absolutely perfect! How did you do that?!"

Yun Yi didn't speak.

I may not know it myself, but the Eye of Truth is itself an analysis of all the truths in the world.

Although it only affects itself, the method is equivalent to telling him directly.

He had already seen the entire demon realm on his way here, and with the analysis of the crimson dragon just now, he had already reached the pinnacle of knowledge on how to fuse bloodlines.

Even without any specific techniques, this approach remains the best method.

Kurosawa's hand holding the jade slip trembled slightly.

He took a few deep breaths before barely suppressing his excitement: "Okay, I'll remember this favor."

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Yun Yi: "What are your plans next? Will you stay here, or go into seclusion?"

Yun Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'll stay here."

After all, we haven't had time to process all the materials we just gathered.

Kurosawa smiled: "I'll have someone arrange it for you."

"The best training room in the Demon Emperor's Palace is at your disposal."
