Chapter 488

Bronze pus condensed into a cocoon within the fissures of the Star Gate, and the fragments of Su Jiuli's Destiny Soul drifted among them like fireflies. A sudden mutation occurred within the Ouroboros totem in Lin Xuan's sea of consciousness: the scales in the Azure Dragon quadrant peeled away, revealing the Wu Clan blood-script hidden deep beneath.

He swung the halberd at the Azure Dragon’s skeletal phantom.
