Chapter 538

"Ugh—!" Su Jiuli’s agonizing scream was cut short, as if her vocal cords had been scorched through by an invisible branding iron. The black light of the filth core exploded completely, saturating her entire tail of origin. Using it as a nest, it began to erode and spread with frantic intensity! The grey-black light of the curse, viscous like oily sludge, instantly covered the seven phantom tail-bones of her body. The residual light of the ice-blue Ancestral Blood was swallowed and extinguished entirely. Her curled body suddenly went rigid, like a sacrificial victim nailed to an altar, convulsing violently in agony. Beneath her skin, countless dark gold curse runes crawled and burrowed like living parasites. Wherever they passed, her flesh, blood, and bones emitted a faint, sizzling sound of corrosion. Her fair skin rapidly lost its luster, turning grey, shriveled, and wreathed in twisted, writhing veins of runes, emitting a cold, foul stench that blasphemed against life itself. Between her brows, that trace of a dark gold scale mark squirmed like a living creature, expanding to clearly outline the horrific contours of the embryonic Life Scale of the Star-Eclipsing Candle Dragon, radiating a filth-ridden dragon might that made one’s heart shudder!
