Chapter 159

The figure behind the Giant Bronze Gate opened its left eye, and the Netherworld fire dancing within it illuminated the altar of Star Remains. Su Jiuli’s residual embers drifted along the grooves of the altar, and the Star Sand congealed in the blood channels suddenly came to life, wrapping around her last strand of soul fire. Within the shimmering grains, a scene appeared: the moment Lin Xuan was forged into an Astrolabe. As the bronze blades of the Twelve Wu Shamans sliced open his spine and his bone fragments were fused into the armillary sphere, the First Generation Patriarch’s fingertips were pressed directly onto the fractures in his Destiny Soul! "Tribulation dust... must return to the furnace at last..." A low murmur echoed from deep within the altar, and three hundred Soul Lamps manifested from the void. The benevolent souls dancing at the lamp wicks suddenly shrieked; the marriage pact markings on their foreheads were pulsing in perfect synchronization with the Ancestral Fire within Su Jiuli’s embers! She whipped her fox tail, snatching two Soul Lamps and hurling them toward the Giant Bronze Gate. As the lamp oil splattered, it revealed a horrifying truth: inside the reborn body of the First Generation Patriarch, the fragmented Destiny Soul of Lin Xuan was embedded!
