At this moment, the chilling air of the Ice Abyss Rift coalesced into towering ice pillars. I leaped into the Abyss, stepping onto the dissipating stardust of Pei Huai Jin. Below, the sleeping Saintess in the Ice Coffin suddenly opened her eyes, her face mirroring mine like a reflection. The Dragon-Slaying Sword embedded in my Heart resonated with the broken sword in my hand.
"You finally came," the Saintess's voice triggered a resonance in the Ice Layer, causing the Three Hundred Hanging Coffins to shatter. Memories sealed within the ice crystals surged into my consciousness—on a winter night three years ago in Yongchang, she knelt in Bing Yuan, cradling an infant and plunged the Dragon-Slaying Sword into her Heart: "With my soul, I shall quell this calamity, awaiting the next life to break the cycle..."
Suddenly, a searing pain shot through the sword hilt as the Saintess from the Ice Coffin transformed into a stream of light and entered my body. My Heart and Lan Wen swelled into a Phoenix Totem, and a thunderous sound of chains breaking echoed from deep within Han Yuan. When the icy mist cleared, I found myself facing a Zhu Long sealed within ancient ice for millennia, its horns adorned with a Burning Heart Butterfly Feather.
"You truly found your way here," came the voice of the National Master from the dragon's head. He held a Human Skin Lantern, its flickering flame illuminating Chu Tiankuo's pale face: "However, to draw out Zhu Long's reverse scale requires blood from a close kin..."
The dragon's roar shattered the ice pillars as I rode the shockwave and landed on its back. The moment my fingertips brushed against the reverse scale, memories from my past life broke free like a blade—on that night in Cold Palace, a boy who taught me about constellations concealed a secret letter from Southern Liang Kingdom in his sleeve; on Execution Ground, a figure in black was revealed to be none other than the young National Master.
"You knew all along that I am the reincarnation of the Saintess." The Dragon-Slaying Sword pierced through the Ice Layer, crimson gold blood seeping through its spider web patterns. "Our meeting in Cold Palace was merely to draw blood for today?"
The National Master chuckled lightly as he peeled off his skin to reveal Pei Huai Jin's visage: "If you didn't hate Chu so deeply, how could you willingly awaken Burning Heart Butterfly?" In his palm appeared a Soul Lantern, where Chu Tiankuo's lingering soul struggled within: "You are truly the best vessel for Venom, just as Chu Hengdi used you to nurture Venom..."
Zhu Long suddenly surged forth, throwing me against the Ice Wall. The golden blood seeping from its reverse scale took on Pei Huai Jin's form: "Quickly take the feather!" Amidst the intertwining illusions of truth and falsehood, the real Burning Heart feather let out a piercing cry—it sensed the cries of newborns echoing throughout Seventy-Two Cities.
At that moment, booming sounds erupted from Ice Abyss Summit as Bone Dragon carried Venom God through the heavens. The crescent-shaped birthmarks of those newborns were transferring vitality to Venom God; their infant bodies had already grown into youthful forms. The National Master laughed maniacally: "Look! This is what it means for all venoms to bow to one!"
I dug out Zhu Long's reverse scale with my bare hands; amidst excruciating pain, the feather automatically returned to its place. As the complete Burning Heart Butterfly Wings unfurled, all ancient ice in Bing Yuan melted away. Seizing this opportunity, Pei Huai Jin's lingering soul charged toward Soul Lantern, while Chu Tiankuo's spirit transformed into flowing light and entered Dragon-Slaying Sword: "Elder Sister, use my Emperor's Bone!"
The moment the sword tip pierced Zhu Long's heart, time suddenly froze. I witnessed an image from three hundred years ago: The Saintess leaped into Bing Yuan with newborn me in her arms while Southern Liang Kingdom’s assassins unveiled their cloaks—it was none other than the young National Master and Pei Huai Jin.
"So this is how reincarnation has long become a deadlock." I chuckled lightly, shattering time’s confinement as Butterfly Wings enveloped Dragon-Slaying Sword and pierced through the National Master's chest. His Heart’s Burning Heart Seal resonated with mine, drawing Venom God toward Bing Yuan.
"How did you know this isn’t what I wanted?" The National Master crushed his Jade Tally before dissipating; at that moment, Seventy-Two Cities' ley lines lit up: "Once Venom God devours mountains and rivers' fortune, you will become part of this new world..."
Suddenly, countless bloodied hands reached out from Han Yuan and dragged down Venom God into the Abyss. Chu Tiankuo’s spirit spilled forth from Sword Body; he concentrated his last bit of spiritual energy at the newborn’s birthmark: "It’s time to awaken, Mother."
