When the Bronze Vow-Marrow Mirror cracked with nine Star Eclipse veins, three hundred and sixty Star-Ash stars fell from the dome of the Return to Void. The Witch-Diviner eclipse scripts floating on the mirror’s surface suddenly crystallized, and the scene of the First Saintess gouging out her eyes fractured within the crystal text—the usurped Light-Sand Bell held in her left palm reflected nine layers of space-time, each bell-shadow imprisoning Su Jiuli’s uncast "Unsworn Soul-Marrow."
"Mirror Reflects the Nine Bells!"
Su Jiuli’s lingering shadow channeled Star-Ash to coalesce into three Star-Ash puppets. The Marrow-Fire erupting from the puppets’ palms melted five of the chains. Lin Xuan stepped onto the skull of a puppet and leaped to the edge of the mirror. The spine of his sword absorbed the crystal shards from the mirror’s surface, and the White Tiger Devouring Abyss pattern on the blade surged violently. As the tiger-shadow tore through the eclipse scripts on the mirror’s rim, a cocoon nest of Star-Ash rose from the back of the mirror—the scars bulging on the surface of the cocoon were formed from the agonized wails of the ninety thousand cultivators the Ancestral Witch had melted down to forge the bell!
