The moment the First Generation Soul Body opened its eyes, Netherworld incantations erupted across the throne of Four Symbols Holy Beasts skeletons. Su Jiuli had only just reached the edge of the Netherworld rift when a blood-red light shot from the hollow eye sockets of the White Tiger skull. What emerged from the light was not a soul-devouring seal, but three hundred Wu Clan ritual vessels bound in Bronze Sarcophagus chains. The Marrow Blood flowing from these vessels coalesced into a phantom of the Reincarnation River. In the horrific scene reflected on the river’s surface, the First Generation Patriarch was forging her Fate Core into an Heaven-Devouring Gu vessel.
"Sister... the throne is consuming the Star Orbit!"
A shard of Lin Xuan’s Heart-Protecting Scale suddenly flew from the rift, its edge slicing through the void and etching a blood pact totem into Su Jiuli’s palm. The moment the totem touched the Four Symbols skeletons, the Azure Dragon Broken Horn erupted with starlight. Within that radiance, the truth of the Primordial Marriage Pact was revealed: hidden where the Celestial Fox Tail Bone intertwined with the Reverse Scale was not a seal, but a soul-devouring blood oath carved by the First Generation Patriarch at the very moment he had gouged out his own heart!
