Every human body contains a trace of ancient war god bloodline. Through special awakening rituals, these bloodlines can be roused, bestowing a powerful bloodline divine skill.

Each human body typically harbors only one type of divine blood, thus allowing only one bloodline divine skill to be awakened.

Lục Ly had previously heard Liễu Di speak of bloodline divine skills, gaining some understanding, but he had truly never heard of anyone possessing two types of such skills.

If the dragon's roar wasn't a bloodline divine skill, then what was it? Could it be that he had refined the origin essence blood, causing his body to mutate?

At this thought, Lục Ly felt a surge of worry. If he were to transform into some unrecognizable grotesque creature, would he still be himself?

Like Vũ Linh Hư, whose combat prowess had indeed amplified, yet it was clear he no longer controlled his own soul. In such a state, what meaning was there in living, even with the combat strength of a Human Emperor realm expert?

"Lục Ly!"

Bạch Thu Tuyết's weak voice echoed, pulling Lục Ly's thoughts back to reality. She spoke, "You must not kill Vũ Linh Hư. You can cripple him, but you cannot take his life."

Lục Ly turned his head to look at Bạch Thu Tuyết, vaguely comprehending her apprehension. Vũ Linh Hư was clearly the Vũ family's most exceptional descendant. Though he had just fallen into a demonic state, and everyone could cripple him in self-defense, they could not outright kill him.

To put it another way, Bạch Thu Tuyết could kill him, Tử Liên Nhi could kill him, Dạ Vũ Hàm and Đỗ Tử Lăng could kill him, but Lục Ly absolutely could not.

The Vũ family would not dare retaliate against the others' clans, but they would certainly dare to seek vengeance upon him. Even if they wouldn't openly execute him, they would pursue him covertly.

"Would the Vũ family dare to send people into Thiên Đảo Lake?" Lục Ly mused for a moment, then inquired.

"They truly wouldn't!"

Bạch Thu Tuyết shook her head. "I fear that when you emerge, the Vũ family will have powerful experts waiting outside to forcefully eliminate you. However, as long as nothing happens *before* you exit, the Vũ family wouldn't dare openly dispatch people into Thiên Đảo Lake."

Bạch Thu Tuyết pondered, then added, "Now that Vũ Linh Hư is dead, his life-bound jade talisman must have shattered. Furthermore, I suspect his jade talisman was of the highest grade, capable of recording the exact moment of his demise. In other words... the Vũ family's high-ranking members already possess the image of you slaying Vũ Linh Hư. It's highly probable that the Vũ family has already dispatched people to converge outside the Dragon Emperor's tomb, poised to strike you down the instant you emerge!"

Noticing Lục Ly's eyes turn serious, Bạch Thu Tuyết offered reassurance. "You needn't worry too much; Lãnh thúc is outside. I will have Lãnh thúc intervene. With him present, the Vũ family ought not to act rashly."

Lục Ly nodded, setting aside the matter of the dragon's roar divine skill for the time being. The ring on Bạch Thu Tuyết's finger glowed, and she withdrew a jade bottle. "Please give them each a healing pill," she said. "Afterward, gather everyone and move to a place free of the black vines. We'll tend to our wounds first, then find a way out. Oh, and... will you go search the surroundings for any treasures? Although we've searched once and found a few things, many areas haven't been thoroughly explored."

"Alright!"

Lục Ly brandished the war halberd in his hand, severing the black vines that proliferated around them. These vines were not particularly troublesome in themselves. The main issue had been the ghostly wails, which easily caused people to faint. Now that the golden ancient coffin had flown away and the ghostly wails had vanished, these black vines were no longer a cause for concern.

He took the bottle, opened it, and looking at Bạch Thu Tuyết, asked, "Do you need me to administer one to you?"

Bạch Thu Tuyết nodded. Lục Ly took out a pill, and Bạch Thu Tuyết parted her blood-stained, cherry-like lips. Lục Ly frowned slightly, then used the back of his hand to gently wipe away the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth and chin.

Bạch Thu Tuyết's lithe body stiffened, and Lục Ly's hand abruptly halted in mid-air, as if that gesture held a hint of ambiguity.

His aged face flushed crimson, though thankfully concealed by his mask. He stared blankly for a moment, then hastily dropped the healing pill into Bạch Thu Tuyết's mouth. The latter, blushing, swallowed it down, traces of blood still on her lips.

Lục Ly signaled Tiểu Bạch to lead the way, tearing through the black vines as they went. He approached Tử Liên Nhi and found her gravely wounded; her left arm was a mangled mess of flesh and blood, and her face and mouth were covered in gore.

He had Tiểu Bạch tear away the black vines clinging to Tử Liên Nhi, then carefully scooped her into his arms and carried her towards the peak's entrance. He gently placed her in a safe spot and helped her consume two healing pills.

Next, he went to carry out Dạ Vũ Hàm, also giving her two healing pills. Though cradling two great beauties, radiant as flowers and exquisite as jade, Lục Ly harbored no inappropriate thoughts, as both were unconscious, sparing him any embarrassment.

After carrying out Dạ Long Vũ and administering pills, he went to Bạch Thu Tuyết's side, helped her tear away the black vines, and then asked, "Miss Thu Tuyết, do you require my assistance?"

Bạch Thu Tuyết was severely injured. She had been struck on the back of the head at the outset, then repeatedly sent flying, resulting in numerous broken bones.

Having just faced a life-or-death crisis, she had gritted her teeth and summoned her fighting spirit. Now that the danger was averted, she no longer possessed the strength even to stand.

She thought for a moment, her face flushing, and said, "Might I trouble you to carry me across?"

"Very well!"

Lục Ly gently swept Bạch Thu Tuyết into his arms. While carrying Tử Liên Nhi and Dạ Vũ Hàm earlier had stirred no particular feelings, this time, his sensations were quite pronounced.

This was because Bạch Thu Tuyết... was awake. Furthermore, her shy act of lowering her head and burying it against his chest intensified his feelings even further.

Lục Ly's heart inexplicably fluttered, his chest rising and falling rapidly. The astonishing sensation transmitted through his hands made his mouth feel a little dry, and his breathing grew exceptionally hurried.

Lục Ly's unusual state was sensed by Bạch Thu Tuyết, whose face grew even redder. Seeing that Lục Ly had not yet moved, she whispered in a mosquito-like voice, "Lục, Young Master Lục!"

"Oh!"

Lục Ly jolted back to awareness, his face crimson, and strode outwards, placing Bạch Thu Tuyết beside Tử Liên Nhi. After a moment of thought, he retrieved some fresh water from his spatial ring and asked, "Miss Thu Tuyết, would you care for some water?"

"Yes, thank you, Young Master Lục."

Bạch Thu Tuyết nodded, her face still flushed. Lục Ly held the scoop and offered it, and Bạch Thu Tuyết, blushing, closed her eyes and tilted her head back to receive it.

As Lục Ly gazed upon Bạch Thu Tuyết's exquisite, jade-like face and her eyebrows like smoke and clouds, his heart trembled once more, and he nearly spilled the water onto her head...

After helping Bạch Thu Tuyết drink some fresh water, Lục Ly felt a touch of thirst himself. He took off his mask and quickly drank a few sips, only to realize something was amiss afterward.

He cautiously cast a glance at Bạch Thu Tuyết, noticing a mix of annoyance and embarrassment in her eyes. He quickly stood up, somewhat flustered, and said, "I shall go search for treasures. If I find any, we can divide them equally."

With that, Lục Ly swiftly departed with Tiểu Bạch, disappearing into the misty area. There, he finally removed his tattered clothes. He secretly marveled once more at his body, which now had skin as smooth as a newborn's. Previously, many parts of his body had been injured, yet after refining the origin essence blood, all his wounds had miraculously healed, and even his scars had vanished entirely. It was truly extraordinary.

Recalling the fruit he hadn't managed to obtain, Lục Ly changed into a fresh martial robes and, accompanied by Tiểu Bạch, began searching for treasures within the mountain peak. Ultimately, he found nothing except Vũ Linh Hư's staff and also managed to retrieve Vũ Linh Hư's spatial ring.

He walked back to where Bạch Thu Tuyết's complexion had returned to normal. Lục Ly extended his hand and said, "I only managed to retrieve Vũ Linh Hư's ring and a staff; there were no other treasures."

"Oh, well, you keep them."

Bạch Thu Tuyết looked upwards and said, "The most valuable treasures should have been inside that golden ancient coffin, but alas, it flew away. Hmm... Even if it hadn't, we wouldn't have been able to obtain them. It likely contained a demonic soul, and not to mention us, even an ordinary Indestructible realm expert wouldn't be able to capture it."

Lục Ly followed Bạch Thu Tuyết's gaze towards the sky above, curiously asking, "Where did that coffin fly off to?"

Bạch Thu Tuyết pondered for a moment before replying, "It likely flew into the spatial turbulence. The Dragon Emperor probably had pre-arranged measures, having never anticipated someone would defile his remains. Now, it seems no one will ever obtain the Dragon Emperor's hidden treasure."

"What a pity..."

Lục Ly sighed softly, his mind recalling the magnificent, peerless divine weapon. That, too, was a super Heaven-grade divine artifact.
