As the bronze blood-yarrow disk rose from the rift in the burning core, three hundred and sixty turtle shells etched with scorching runes pierced the firmament of Return to Void. The divination cracks wandering across the disk’s face suddenly collapsed, and the scene of the First Ancestral Witch severing the palm began to fission within the shells—the destiny-usurping yarrow tube held in her left palm reflected nine layers of divination realms, each layer imprisoning the un-scorched "Unsworn Turtle Marrow" of Su Jiuli. "Scorching Nine Yarrow of the Disk!" The lingering shadow of Su Jiuli flickered, her sleeves trailing sparks of star-embers as the ashes of the yarrow grass coalesced into three burning turtle puppets. From the turtle-runes in the puppets’ palms surged subterranean nether-fire, burning through seven blood chains. Lin Xuan leaped onto the center of the disk, his feet landing on a turtle shell. The baleful energy of the Four Symbols surged, activating the White Tiger Annihilation Divination Rune; as the tiger’s claws tore through the scorched runes on the disk’s surface, a Wu Priest’s bone altar rose from the base. The First Saintess’s right finger-bone ring, embedded in the altar, resonated with the cracks in the burning core, its surface—bearing the "White-Headed" turtle marrow—being repeatedly gouged by the yarrow tube!
