Chapter 74

The instant the moonlight chains crushed her wrist bones, Su Jiuli glimpsed the true form of the Star Pupil within the bronze compass— It was not the remnant soul of the First Generation Patriarch, but a bronze female infant curled deep within the pupil! The Star Mark on the infant’s forehead writhed like a living thing, each heartbeat causing the celestial stars to shift. The ice of the North Sea shattered with a roar; the remains of the First Generation Patriarch rose from the waves, their decayed fingers gripping the compass. The Taotie patterns on the compass face opened wide, devouring the moonlight and exhaling a bronze miasma laden with Star Sand. The moment the miasma touched the seawater, the Star Marks on the foreheads of the child corpses burst open.
