Conversely, through time, generations after generations, these bloodlines were derived via marriage and mixture of blood between different bloodlines.
Those with many bloodlines were getting weaker as their potential lessened accordingly because they were not as pure as those with fewer bloodlines or only one direct bloodline from any one of the twelve immortal divine beasts.
The origin of the bloodline Feng Luotian got from his father, the Scarlet Demon God Phoenix bloodline, was …
One of Scarlet Demon King from the underworld had fortunately found a rock containing Theríon directly from the divine beast: Phoenix. Afterward, he refined and merged with that rock. It ultimately gave him an entirely new bloodline to his clan.
Since then, Scarlet Demon Clan had become one of the top-tier powers in the universe, which later changed its name to Demon God Clan.
Although there were some from the clan who got married to another from different bloodlines, there would always be at least hundreds of pure-blood descendants produced in each generation to maintain the purity of the Scarlet Demon God Phoenix bloodline.
It was to prevent their strength, potential, and prestige from decreasing due to the impurity from cross-breeding. The purer the cultivator's bloodline was, the greater and stronger they could become. They would not risk their power decreasing.
That's why Demon God Clan held their bloodline as absolute, and there was a strict rule regarding the continuation of their bloodline. It was also how every superpower in the universe kept their authority intact.
But if that was the case, why would anyone want to consummate with another bloodline?
Well, as anyone could guess, it was because of either love or politics.
When two people wished to spend their lives together, why would they care so much about their family getting weaker due to their bloodline mixture?
When two powers wished to build a fictitious connection, those powers would care even less about the groom and bride as long as they served their purpose.
But in Feng Luotian's case, their parents' entanglement was a bit of both.
Although there was no clear record of where his mother's bloodline originated from, Heavenly Swan Race, the holders of the Blue-eyed Heavenly Royal Swan bloodline, was also one of the superpowers in the universe.
Many had tried to dig deep into this bloodline's past, but no one could find any trace of it, not even the race's members themselves.
Some said that history was deleted and forbidden to speak of ever since the first generation of the race. Thus, everything about this race's origin had stayed mysterious until now.
Due to their love for each other and Demon God Clan not minding one of its royal princes to get together with someone from the powerful Heavenly Swan Race, a couple of decades after their marriage, Feng Luotian was born with a mixed bloodline.
Even so, with how pure of a bloodline his parents possessed, his potential could still be considered of an apex aptitude.
Furthermore, there was still an upside for the bloodline mixture.
If both bloodlines had a relatively similar purity and bloodline dominance, the cross-breed would be able to utilize both bloodlines' abilities. Otherwise, they would be left with only one more dominant bloodline.
Feng Luotian's mixed bloodlines matched the conditions, so he could fight with both bloodlines' abilities.
With his aptitude and double abilities, he was able to rise to such height in the past. However, that power was not what he was looking for.
To fight his enemies, his previous capability was not nearly enough. It was nothing more than a joke in front of an absolute terror.
Hence, what he sought after was a perfect bloodline with one hundred percent of potential to reach the summit.
And that was where Bloodline Interfusion came in.
Bloodline Interfusion he was trying to achieve was something he invented by himself in his past life and would only come to this world around four hundred years from now.
It was a combination of bloodlines.
With the exchange of permanently dropping the original power of their bloodlines to lower than a tenth, he will create a downright new bloodline with an absolutely new ability, making the bloodline pure once again.
The hard part was that the bloodline interfusion required one's bloodlines to be in a pristine state, which was to say that this process had to be done in the Bloodline Awakening state.
To do it any later than this would raise the risk of failure and end up losing both bloodlines at the very least, or in the worst case, death.
When Feng Luotian successfully invented Bloodline Interfusion, he was already at a sky-high level of cultivation. His bloodline had been tempered time and again with cultivation methods, elixirs and skills. There was no way he could do it.
Therefore, although he invented the method, he did not have a chance to do Bloodline Interfusion himself. He did not know what would be the result of fusing two of his bloodlines together. That's why he felt thankful to his father for sealing his cultivation, giving him the chance to do it.
After all, after one succeeded in fusing their bloodline, they would undoubtedly become a legend and the progenitor of their very own bloodline.
In the past, Feng Luotian picked up a certain disciple and made her the first bloodline interfuser. Within only thirty short years after that, his disciple nearly managed to catch up to him when he used almost three centuries to cultivate to that point.
After witnessing this fact, one could imagine how heaven-defying Bloodline Interfusion was.
And this time, he would also become the bloodline interfuser and definitely have the means to save this world, which made him unable to wait to see how he would become after he fused his bloodlines.
After stabilizing both of his bloodlines' auras, he used Theríon to pause all blood flow within his body before guiding it out of the soul core.
After blood completely left his soul core, five breaths later, his heart stopped beating. At that moment, his face was pale white. His skin was as cold as a corpse.
BOOM!!
A sudden explosive sound originated from his soul core as Feng Luotian activated both bloodlines at the same time at the ratio of 53:47, of which the 53 was Scarlet Demon God Phoenix bloodline, and the rest was Blue-eyed Heavenly Royal Swan bloodline.
This was one of the hardest parts to Bloodline Interfusion process.
One needed to know the exact dominance of each bloodline to correctly carry out the procedures. Such information would only come to light upon meticulous and careful research and experiment.
[Bloodline Dominance] was a term to display the raw strength of the bloodlines. The more dominant bloodline would be stronger than the less dominant one.
It was as simple as that.
However, to determine how much more dominant one bloodline was than the others, such a question was too difficult to answer by looking or sensing their Theríon.
Bloodline Interfusion required one to perfectly equally activate all of one's bloodlines at the same time, which meant you had to thoroughly balance both bloodlines' dominance and activation.
If Bloodline A was twice as dominant as Bloodline B, you had to activate Bloodline B two times stronger than Bloodline A to balance them out.
With this, there was one thing to be noted. That was his mother's bloodline was even more dominant than his father's.
To come by the knowledge of their own bloodlines' dominance was difficult enough, but to precisely control the activation capacity of both bloodlines at the same time was also not an easy task anyone could do.
Only an apex master in Theríon control could do it.
And how could the cultivator at the Bloodline Awakening state be an apex master in Theríon control?
With all these difficulties, it would be almost impossible for one to perfectly complete Bloodline Interfusion process.
In his past life, Feng Luotian needed to spend years preparing thousands of arrays and couple with his adept Theríon control to support his newly-awakened disciple before they could successfully pull it off.
However, this time, he had all the requirements on the table.
After he activated his dual bloodlines, both types of blood entered his soul core at the same time by the aforementioned ratio.
He opened his blue eyes before they gradually changed their color to purple, giving a demonic vibe to his countenance.
Once his eyes completely transformed, his aura turned to an amethyst-color gaseous flame with lightning sparkling around it.
"Hah!!" Feng Luotian let out another shout.
BOOM!!
His lightning-flame aura busted out, scorching everything within the room to dust. From his body, purple lightning struck upward, causing a huge hole to the ceiling, then continued toward the sky, changing the weather in the process.
Pitter. Patter.
The rain started to fall.
Feng Luotian deactivated his Theríon as he heavily panted nonstop while groveling on the floor.
After catching his breath and his countenance getting better, he slowly stood up.
He activated his Theríon again and looked at his hands covered by the lightning-flame aura. He emotionally roared as he laughed: "My very own bloodline. The one and only."
Staring at his own reflection from the puddle on the floor, he touched his purple eyes. An information erupted from the very depth of his soul.
///// Purple-eyed Heavenly Demon Phoenix Bloodline
As all bloodlines originated from twelve immortal divine beasts, they contained scattered wills of these transcended beings. Each bloodline had its own slumbering conscience.
Once it was awakened, it would whisper to the owner of the most fundamental things regarding its existence such as a name, a way to use its ability, and et cetera.
But this moment, other than its name, Feng Luotian did not really care of other information. He could pry to them later.
He looked up at the sky, while facing the high heaven, Feng Luotian domineeringly shouted:
"With this, I will become a God Immortal. Those who dare to touch anyone I wish to protect shall die without mercy!!"
Bang.
Thunder roared out a sound—lightning danced within the cloud. It seemed like heaven had responded to him in some way. No one knew if it was acknowledgement or disapproval.
