Chapter 482

The Bronze Stele Seedling broke three inches through the soil, and the instant its roots pierced into the earth vein, the black mole on Lin Xuan's palm split open. Viscous Star-Eclipsing Black Tide fluid crawled along the stele's inscriptions, condensing into nine chains of Tian Script that bound his ankles. The other ends of the chains plunged into the void, and amidst a dragging sound, half of a collapsed Wu Clan Star-Observing Platform emerged—slanted among the ruins was a sundial carved from a White Tiger skull, its Sundial Needle casting a shadow pointing precisely to where Su Jiuli's soul fire flickered. "The sundial guides the fading soul..." The Burning Heaven Halberd emitted a piercing screech like tearing silk, and the scaly black spots on the surface of the Vermilion Bird spiritual core suddenly spread. Sparks shaken loose from the feathers plummeted toward the stele seedling, etching winding blood grooves into the bronze surface. What surged from the grooves was not fresh blood, but refined water from the Reincarnation Pond, every single drop reflecting the phantom of Su Jiuli's Destiny Soul being pierced by divination branches.
