Chapter 408

As the ninety-ninth bronze brick of the Reincarnation Stairs shattered, the Alkaid Sundial Needle suddenly took form from the void. Beneath Lin Xuan’s feet, the Star Sand swirled into a Guixu Whirlpool, grinding the First Ancestral Witch’s shrill screams into nothingness. Within the final chapter of the "Life-Devouring Heavenly Book"—formed from the debris of those sound waves—the bloody scene of Su Jiuli’s "First Affection" soul being carved out to forge the Wu Tribe Fetal Jade manifested, the four characters "Jiuli Returns to Guixu" on the jade’s core now seeping Black Tortoise Tears. "Needle, reverse the Star Orbit!" The moment the tip of the red jade hairpin touched the Alkaid Sundial Needle, forty-nine sun-eroding cracks suddenly appeared across the entire Reincarnation Stairs. Lin Xuan sprinted toward the summit, stepping upon falling bronze fragments, only to discover that what was suppressed deep within those cracks was no evil spirit, but the remains of the Stone of Three Lifetimes from the Ruins of the First Star Palace. The oath of "Shared Life and Death" inscribed upon it had been recast into the inverse patterns of the Tribulation-Devouring Array; suspended where the "Alkaid" position should have been was none other than the uncontaminated Wedding Wine Vessel from their wedding night.
