Chapter 64

As the palm extending from the Bronze Sarcophagus cradled Su Jiuli, star sand slipped between its fingers, condensing into Lin Xuan's lingering phantom before he vanished. The fox mask of the First Generation Patriarch shrieked within the fissure on her forehead, its fangs tearing at the root-like star marks. Suddenly, fragments of turtle shells from the ocean floor flew backward into the air, piecing together the Nine Palaces Absolute Killing Formation above Guixu. Suspended at the eye of the formation was none other than the Bronze Dagger the First Generation had used three hundred years ago to gouge out his own eyes! Lin Xuan's phantom raised a hand to gently stroke the fissure on Su Jiuli's forehead. The moment the star sand touched the fox mask, the First Generation's fangs savagely bit through the illusion, and a stench-ridden soul breath spewed forth, actually staining the seabed silt bronze. Su Jiuli's right eye suddenly leaked soul paste, which burst into flames upon contact with the sand, burning the final scroll chapter of the Soul Burial Formula into the void—the handwriting of the formula shared the same origin as Lin Xuan's fetal hair!
