In the skies above the Imperial Capital, the Eight-Armed Venom God coiled like a serpent, now adorned with dragon horns. Chu Tiankuo's body was embedded in its forehead, and crimson nerves extending from its spine enveloped the entire city like a spider's web. With each swing of its arms, marketplaces crumbled into dust, and the blood mist of the common people was absorbed by its scales, nourishing its ever-growing divine form.
"Elder Sister, do you know how many sacrifices are needed for perfect fusion?" The voice of Chu Tiankuo emerged from the Venom God's mouth, laced with serpentine hisses. "Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine souls—today just happens to be the Shangyuan Lantern Festival—"
As he spoke, blood light gathered at his fingertips, and suddenly, the myriad lanterns on Vermilion Bird Street exploded. The splattering oil transformed into fiery whirlwinds, sweeping the fleeing crowd into the air. I soared over the sea of flames, my blue flame Butterfly Wings extinguishing several fire dragons, only to see that those I had saved were now glimmering with golden light—they had all been implanted with cicada eggs!
"Useless." The scales on the Venom God's abdomen flipped, revealing the Imperial City guards being digested within. "These ants drank from the Venom Spring three years ago; their souls have long since become nutrients for the Venom God." With that, he suddenly raised his hand, causing the Star-Picking Tower to collapse with a thunderous crash. Among the rubble lay Consort Shu's Zhai Niao Step Palanquin.
I dove down and cleaved through a falling beam with my Dragon-Slaying Sword. However, what rolled out of the palanquin was not Consort Shu but a voodoo doll resembling me, affixed with Bazi symbols. The doll's Heart was pierced by seven golden needles corresponding to my body's vital points.
"Did you think Consort Shu was merely a pawn?" The Venom God cackled as he crushed the doll, causing me to spit out Heiyue in response. "From the moment you were reborn, every step has been within the National Master's divination!"
The blue flames surged suddenly, incinerating the Venom poison within me. I deliberately provoked him: "Do you know who National Master Chu Yuanhui truly serves?" I lifted a fragment of the voodoo doll with my Dragon-Slaying Sword, revealing a hidden letter beneath it—an official document sealed with the Southern Liang National Seal, stating that the Venom God was to be extradited to the Southern Liang Kingdom.
The Venom God froze abruptly as Chu Tiankuo's body struggled violently in his forehead. "Impossible... I made a Blood Contract with the National Master..." Taking advantage of his distraction, I transformed into a streak of light and pierced his reverse scale. That scale was seeping Heiyue, faintly revealing sword marks left by Pei Huai Jin.
The scales suddenly flipped open in layers, and countless compound eyes opened simultaneously. What they reflected was not the current battlefield but a horrifying scene deep within Bing Yuan: Chu Hengdi stood at the center of Three Hundred Hanging Coffins, beneath which a Magic Circle drew the Holy Maiden's soul fire into himself.
"Li'er, you have done well." He seemed to gaze at me through time and space. "Once I fuse with the powers of all past Holy Maidens, I will clean up this mess for you..." Before he could finish speaking, the Venom God lost control due to his host's turbulent emotions, and eight arms began to frantically strike at the Imperial City.
Seizing this opportunity, I drove my Dragon-Slaying Sword into the crack of his reverse scale; blue flames surged along its blade into his divine form. The Venom God let out a deafening wail as Chu Tiankuo's body fell from his forehead. In his descent, he clawed at his Heart: "I am a true dragon... I will not lose to..." Before he could finish speaking, he was engulfed by his own Golden Cicada Larva.
The Venom God's body began to collapse as flesh and blood rained down upon the Imperial City. The citizens drenched in blood rain suddenly stiffened; golden light flickered in their pupils—they were transforming into new beings of Venom. Even more terrifyingly, from Bing Yuan came continuous booming sounds as Three Hundred Hanging Coffins broke free from their graves and fell like meteors toward the Imperial City.
Pei Huai Jin's lingering soul scattered in the wind: "Use... Burning Heart Butterfly..." His final gaze toward me remarkably overlapped with that of the Holy Maiden within the Crystal Coffin. Suddenly recalling what I had seen at the bottom of the pool: The Holy Maiden's hands were not forming a protective seal but rather executing a self-destructive God-Slaying Technique!
The Dragon-Slaying Sword in my hand began to spin autonomously as blue flames etched ancient curses onto its body. When its blade pierced through my own Heart, Burning Heart Butterfly Wings transformed into a sky full of starfire. Each cluster of flames accurately descended upon those beings of Venom, incinerating their Jin Chan completely. Where starfire landed, scorched earth blossomed with Lan Lian flowers, their lotus hearts cradling devoured souls.
A roar from deep within the imperial tomb echoed Chu Hengdi’s fury as an Ice Coffin exploded into dust mid-air. Amidst the smoke and debris, a familiar dark figure turned away—a Chilong Jade Pendant hung from their waist; it was indeed an item that Chu Hengdi had worn since childhood.
