The bronze cauldron's feet pierced the Qingqiu Scorched Earth, its gluttonous pattern exhaling and inhaling Netherworld Fire. Su Jiuli's remaining ashes swept across the cauldron's ears, and the dormant Netherworld Decree Mark on her wrist suddenly wriggled like a living snake. The dark red lines crawled across the cauldron's belly, unexpectedly scorching out the lost sacrificial text of the North Sea Flood Dragon Clan. The blood inside the cauldron boiled like weeping, and the moment the floating, shattered glazed bones pieced themselves together, a muffled sound of chains grinding came from deep within the leyline—nine bronze chains burst out of the earth, and tied to the ends of the chains were not instruments of torture, but three hundred infant Celestial Fox skeletons!
"Feed the bones to the cauldron, let the souls return to the stellar abyss..."
The High Priest's prayer seeped from the bottom of the cauldron. Su Jiuli's fox tail brushed against the cauldron's rim, and the sea of blood inside suddenly rolled backward. The crest of the wave condensed into Lu Xiaopang's phantom. As his withered fingers crushed a tortoise shell, the flying shell fragments revealed a terrifying sight within the Celestial Fox Forbidden Land: the bases of nine Celestial Fox steles split open into abysses, and the inscriptions were rewritten by Bronze Roots, every single stroke oozing with the blood of the First Generation Patriarch!
