Chapter 534

The breath of the Primordial Era, spilling from the half-inch gap in the Giant Bronze Gate, swept across the Jieyuan Abyss like an invisible giant’s palm. Deep within the veins of the Jieyuan earth, the long-dormant altar of the First Generation Patriarch of the Wu Clan shuddered violently. Three thousand rusted fragments of ancient bronze tripods burst through the heavy rock strata. As they tilted, they spewed forth ten millennia of accumulated, foul, dusty smog. Within this haze, countless king Gu Insect eggs—not yet fully decayed—shed their brittle shells with a rustling sound. Twisting together, they solidified into coarse, jagged bronze chains that lashed out toward Lin Xuan, suspended in mid-air, with a piercing, metallic screech. The Star-Eclipsing viscous slime solidified within the walls of the tripods suddenly came to life. It surged along the bronze chains, greedily devouring the torrent of Purified Scale Star Sand swirling around Lin Xuan.
