Within the bronze cauldron, "White-Headed" blood dew billowed into seven layers of baleful mist. As Lin Xuan’s fingertip touched the heart-gouging patterns on the cauldron’s lugs, seventy-two Star Sand Chains erupted from the Guixu Ice Crevice. Tethered to the ends of the chains were not ordinary divination sticks, but "Vow-Devouring Sundial Needles" cast from the skulls of the First Star Palace cultivators; the bronze rust shaken loose by the clashing of these needles coalesced into Li-hexagram oracles not recorded in the "Guixu Compass."
"The bells toll, the hexagrams crumble!"
Su Jiuli’s lingering shadow channeled Celestial Fox Tail Fire, causing the blood dew within the cauldron to explode into three hundred and sixty Calamity-Devouring blood pearls. Lin Xuan stepped upon the pearls, leaping to the eye of the Black Tortoise Celestial Array. The instant the White Tiger Realm-Rifting Halberd struck the chains of the bone bells, the Taotie pattern on the cauldron’s belly suddenly came to life. Its fangs clamped onto the False God Patterns on the halberd, tearing out the "Calamity-Devouring Marrow Light" left behind by the First Ancestral Witch when calculating the star orbits.
