The bloodline of the Eastern Spirit Race.
This could be called a priceless treasure. Although it did not grant inherited spiritual power, possessing it meant possessing Pure Yang Flame. Su Han had not held much hope for this draw, yet fate ended up giving him a pleasant surprise.
Bloodlines had an enormous impact on cultivation. The stronger the bloodline, the stronger one's cultivation potential would be.
The Eastern Spirit Race bloodline was almost at the pinnacle of the Fox Spirit Matchmaker world. Not only did it deal special damage to evil entities, it also provided extremely powerful flame energy. It was practically a perfect bloodline.
"It looks like I don't need to worry about the fight with Dvalin anymore. System, enhance the Eastern Spirit Race bloodline."
"Prompt: Enhancing the bloodline requires 10,000 points. Do you wish to proceed?"
"Enhance it."
Having just sold 100,000 comics, Su Han was currently flush with resources and did not care about spending points at all. Very soon, as a beam of light flashed, the red crystal floating in midair became noticeably brighter.
[Prompt: Your Eastern Spirit Race bloodline has been enhanced. The power of Pure Yang Flame has increased.]
"System, continue enhancing it."
He was about to head out, so Su Han had to seize the time to stack another round of enhancement.
"Prompt: This enhancement requires 50,000 points. Do you wish to proceed?"
"Enhance!"
Another beam of light lit up, and the crystal carrying the bloodline now emitted a golden flame projection.
[Prompt: Your Eastern Spirit Race bloodline has been enhanced. The power of Pure Yang Flame has increased.]
[Notice: This treasure has been enhanced to its limit. To continue enhancing it, please upgrade system permissions.]
"Only two enhancements? But this should be enough for now. I'll consume it first."
Su Han grasped the crystal and swallowed it. The moment the treasure entered his body, a scorching force swept through him. The heat was so intense that he could barely stand steady. However, this sensation only lasted for a minute before dissipating.
After his body returned to normal, Su Han felt an additional stream of spiritual power within him. This was a high-level force different from inner strength. Previously, using inner strength to activate the Star Shifting technique would nearly exhaust him every time, but from today onward, that problem no longer existed.
That said, the inner strength stored in his body still needed to be gradually converted into spiritual power. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to his cultivation.
"So I can already control Pure Yang Flame now?"
Su Han opened his palm, and a wisp of golden flame appeared in it. This flame was different from ordinary fire. It possessed unimaginable lethality against monsters and evil entities, yet as long as it was controlled properly, it posed no threat to humans.
To further master this power, Su Han conducted various short tests. He discovered that Pure Yang Flame was actually very easy to control, almost no different from the Golden Light Mantra. The only drawback was that continuously using Pure Yang Flame would lead to insufficient spiritual power, but that was only a minor issue that could be resolved gradually.
Half an hour later, Su Han began gathering the team. Aside from himself, the participants in this battle were the previously decided few. Kaeya and Lisa were among those staying behind and would not take part in this operation.
Paimon rushed over after hearing the news and looked at Su Han in confusion. "Huh? Why is there an extra mark on your forehead?"
Everyone cast curious looks. They were surprised to find that there really was a flame-like mark on Su Han's forehead. It clearly had not been there in the morning.
Su Han touched his brow, recalling the symbol of the Eastern Spirit Race, and said, "This is a sign of my power awakening. Don't forget that I also possess the bloodline of the Qilin. Alright, let's set off. We can talk on the way."
Eula glanced around and asked doubtfully, "Are we walking there?"
"No need, miss. This time, I'll be escorting you to Stormterror's Lair. Don't be startled. We're taking off."
Just as Eula was still puzzled, a jade-green wind swept everyone into the air. Watching the clouds rolling beneath their feet, she finally understood why Su Han had not prepared horses. They were flying.
Seeing everyone gather together, Su Han began deploying the plan for this battle.
"After we land, Eula, Amber, and Hu Tao, the three of you will be responsible for controlling the battlefield. Do your best to keep the monsters away from the ruins. At the same time, protect your own safety. Leave the rest to us."
"Do we really not need reinforcements inside? Won't the pressure be too great?"
"No. With the three of us plus Venti's control, it's already enough. In short, your main task is to ensure your own safety. There won't be anyone else helping this time, so we must minimize injuries."
"Alright then."
Eula originally wanted to charge in together with Su Han, but she had only just recovered. Excessively intense combat might be too much for her, so she agreed with this tactic.
After about twenty minutes, Venti said to everyone, "Pay attention, we're about to land. You three don't need to be afraid. I'll spare some attention to help you."
"Then what are we waiting for? It's time to let those monsters see how powerful this Director is."
Hu Tao took out her weapon, countless blood-red plum blossoms igniting around her. When the Director became truly serious, her strength was terrifying.
Eula also picked up her greatsword and entered the battle.
As for Amber, she was responsible for drawing aggro and kiting the monsters.
Once the outer monsters had all been lured away, Su Han and the others began their advance. Last time, they had spent several days without managing to break in. Now, with Venti's assistance, they pierced through the barrier in one go.
However, just as they entered the interior, the Abyss Lector who had previously schemed against Kaeya and the others appeared.
"You people still won't give up. It seems I was too merciful last time. Let the Abyssal Flames destroy you!"
Countless fireballs formed in the air. Each was half a meter in size, then they fell like a rain curtain.
Feeling the searing heat, Paimon cried out, "Wow, it's so hot, so hot. Hurry and dodge!"
"You continue forward. Leave this place to me."
At the critical moment, Shenhe stepped out from the group. The scorching temperature was suppressed by a terrifying chill. As she advanced, the ground gradually became covered in frost, while the fireballs in the sky were intercepted one after another by countless ice constructs.
Seeing this, Lumine exclaimed in surprise, "So strong!"
This was her first time seeing Shenhe take action. She had not expected her to possess such formidable strength.
Seeing that his attack had been suppressed, the Abyssal Flame sneered and said, "I didn't expect you to bring helpers this time, but this is nothing more than moths flying into a flame. Let the Abyss completely destroy you!"
As it chanted, a terrifying purple giant serpent rapidly condensed in the sky. Its body stretched a full ten meters, and just looking at it created an overwhelming sense of pressure.
"Your techniques are useless against me."
Suddenly, a powerful light erupted from Shenhe's hand. Like a meteor, it completely shattered the giant serpent, even blowing distant buildings into fragments.
Seeing this scene, the Abyssal Flame froze, then burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, it's actually Golden Light!"
"I never expected to encounter a user of Golden Light here. If I eliminate you here, I imagine His Highness the Prince will be very pleased when he hears of it."
As Lumine continued advancing toward the depths of the ruins, her whole body trembled when she heard these words. A few days ago, Su Han had just told her that the Abyss was hunting down all users of Golden Light. She had not expected that it would be confirmed today.
And that Prince His Highness he mentioned, could it really be her brother?
