I doubt it. He's probably the most talented being born in the world of POMA (disregarding the mc's physique which was practically useless without Qi), I think that even without the dragon souls and if he remained an MA, he would still surpass TY. Like, the dragon powers so far only strengthen his body and regeneration (probably more than that, but I'm not sure), his techniques and arts are still the most powerful and efficient known and since they are sword-based, we can assume that he would have developed them even without his dragon powers.
Yes one of them, but doesn’t still explain why he’s such an anomaly out of all the former emperors he even compares to the original Tang celestial. We are so lucky he expended his lifespan against the dragons tbh
I just realized how stupid what i said was.
Maybe it has something to do with Tang Yichen's meeting with Tang Wei? I mean, TW isn't the type to care about someone from the world of POMA no matter how strong they get, after all for TW the difference between TY and an EH and TY and a bacterium is the same. So, for me, their meeting is still one of POMA's biggest mysteries, because I see no reason why it should have happened.
Ruo obviously would be far weaker, but how much depend on what exactly dragon fusion give him. Beyond physical stats and transformation he can lose advanced copy eyes (MC notes that they shouldn't work like the do. But why? Either because of dragon stuff or Dao child power) and sword art (we know that Ruo created his art as mortal, what should be impossible due to inability use inner energy. So I assume that he was able to create his art only because his dragon body and/or transformation allow him to use ie even as mortal. Also without dragon powers he can lose some blood purity.
So in worst for Ruo case he would lose increased stats, transformation, copy eyes, sword art (though still would be able to create later). This version of Ruo still would beat MC as mortal in tournament, but once they advance to Houtian MC probably could beat him more times than not (unless Ruo decide to go full nepo baby mode and start to use every possible artifacts and pill he possess, in this case MC would be cooked)

It is likely that the "enlightenment" was in actually purely a result of Butterfly doing causing how self destructive it was and the mention of her plotting. Also the heavens known love for Dragons
Actually, this is an interesting topic, after all, Heaven loves Dao Childs too. Who are the favorites? In a possible battle between Caihong and Ruo, who would the Heavens "support"?
That said, one of Butterfly's goals is to make Ruo lose badly or kill him. Why would she give TY the means to make Ruo more powerful?
It robbed Yichen of a future 1k years of his lifespan (Butterfly said that her time in this world is very limited so she can't wait too long for him to die) and she could thinks she could just make him die before he gets to S level considering the multiple rogues attempt. Also it would lead to Shen Long Mu wanting to destroy the world

what is EH btw? (interesting opinion)
Early Houtian.
I think what Heavens favors Ruo and Shen Long Mu favor Caihong (she literally can be translated as Dragon Goddess). I believe that Heavens send dream about dragons to Yichen not for Ruo sake (or at least not only for this), but to enrage SLM for dragon killing to destroy POMA world. Basically this is Heavens scheme to destroy Tang Wei (and possibly Lady Butterfly). Ruo and Tang Yichen role is more about hold rogues long enough for SLM to arrive (and possibly contain MC). Also Ruo can possibly be beacon for SLM because dragons souls inside him pretty much alive and SLM feels them in Ruo

Tang Wei death had entirely nothing to do with the dragons killing and also the mention of butterfly plotting against SLM and enraging her by Dreamweaver makes this unlikely considering this theory reduces Butterfly to nothing. SLM destroying the world wouldn't also kill Butterfly considering her real body isn't actually in the POMA world

You misunderstood my theory, though probably because my English too bad. My theory is based around idea that Heavens want to destroy POMA world to eliminate Tang Wei and his "legacy" (MC, Butterfly, artifacts etc). Heavens plans to do that by Shen Long Mu hands, who I assume is dragon goddess purely because of her name translation and Caihong affection to her. So Heavens send dream about doom to Poma world and dragon fusion to Tang Yichen, then Yichen slaughter dragons and fused them with Ruo, what enraged Shen Long Mu and now she want revenge or release dragons from Ruo (about release explain later). And now Heavens wait until Shen Long Mu destroy world, and Yichen think that world danger is Butterfly and rogues and not his actions and SLM. Butterfly in this theory have no connection to Shen Long Mu and just another cultivator who want to steal whatever Tang Wei left in Poma world (though she really might wish to increase cultivation level of this world, but I highly doubt). Ruo on other hand is catalyst and possibly beacon for SLM world destruction, because of fact that dragons were killed and their souls were caged inside him (voices inside Ruo head). So SLM probably want to kill Ruo to free dragons souls (and allow them to reincarnate) and revenge for them. Considering that she so powerful to be able to influence Dreamweaver (god realm cultivator) just by her name and her personality similar to natural disaster, I think that in process of her revenge she would just destroy POMA world and Tang Wei (who is weakened by lack of qi to fight her). That pretty much basics of my theory.
And yes Butterfly role here not big (beyond rogues rebellion), Yichen is complete loser for bringing apocalypse to his world, and MC role too vague (he might be part of Tang Wei or Heavens schemes, maybe both at the same time or maybe MC is spanner in the works and beyond every scheme)
TW is dead and it is not in the heavens style to destroy "legacy" especially when the legacy is only that he died there (yes ik he died technically in a danger zone)
Butterfly and SLM having no connections only seen plausible if you ignore everything Dreamweaver said

Firstly, whole scheme start before Tang Wei decide to die and Heavens have no means to predict that he will kill himself (hell, even readers still wonders if his death is a bluff)
Secondly, I doubt that cultivator so powerful and old as Tang Wei have no artifacts, elixirs, manuals etc beyond that he give to Tangs (I bet he hide the most powerful of them in array or some hidden danger zone to get them back when he leave Poma world) and danger zone still connected to Poma world if they appeare here, so in theory if you powerful enough then it possible to travel between them (but yeah this more a speculation from me than a fact). Plus Tang Wei "legacy" that Heavens want to destroy might be MC (literally second Tang Wei) and Lady Butterfly (who might be Tang Wei follower or even a disciple if she not lying)
And lastly, the only thing Dreamweaver said that can connect Shen Long Mu and LB is that he call SLM a butterfly. Which might be only metaphor (dragons with wings might be similar with butterflys) and Nicky attempt to confuse readers. Lady Butterfly claims that she not SLM and Yichen believe that they one person only because he have no idea who else SLM can be, without any solid proof about it.
