Suddenly, a burning sensation surged through Xing Wen as a hidden message flooded in. "Devouring the Soul Crystals of Nine Starfall Traitors can unlock the First Bloodline Seal."
The coffin of Zang Xing Yuan trembled violently, and eight corpses burst forth. Chi Yuan formed seals to set up a formation, binding the corpses with chains of demonic energy. "Slave Substitute Supreme will trap them... but only for ten breaths!"
Yun Che leaped into the mass of corpses, and Xing Wen transformed into a blade, piercing the heart of the first corpse. The moment the Soul Crystal entered his body, he glimpsed the memories of the traitors. The High Priest of the Starfall Clan, Cangming, had secretly colluded with the Heavenly Emperor, embedding a Demon Seed within the blood contract of the Holy Son, leading to the entire clan's descent into darkness!
"So that's how it is..." he sneered. "These so-called traitors are merely scapegoats!" The corpses exploded one after another, and nine Soul Crystals fused completely into Xing Wen.
Yun Che's pupils turned blood-red, and a crack appeared on his forehead. At the moment the seal was lifted, starlight illuminated the end of the stone bridge. Chi Yuan's Demon Mark suddenly erupted; she screamed in agony, "Master... run... the mark of the Demon Lord... ah!" Her body exploded into a mist of blood as demonic energy coalesced into a giant hand reaching for Yun Che.
Xing Wen executed Flowing Wind Steps, gliding like a specter along the ancient path as space behind him crumbled inch by inch. At the end of the path stood a Bronze Giant Gate, from which cold starlight seeped through the cracks. Yun Che used Xing Wen as a key; at that moment when the door swung open...
Xiao Qingli's Fumo Qinyin pierced through the void, resonating with the Starlight Power within! Inside was a vast Star Palace, with remnants of Fu Mo Qin floating at its center. Yun Che's Xing Wen connected with this remnant as Qin Yin transformed into sword energy that shattered the pursuing demonic hand.
"You really came..." Xiao Qingli's Xu Ying emerged from the qin, her fingertips brushing against his Xing Wen. "Three Hundred Years Ago, Bai Ruoyou used Hun Ji Qin in this palace to obtain the final legacy of Fu Mo Qin."
Suddenly, the dome of the Star Palace cracked open as Mo Qianshan's maniacal laughter shook down stars. "Little Beast, do you think you can escape into the Infinite Rift and survive?" The Twelve Chains of Divine Punishment shot through the air but were blocked by Fumo Qinyin three zhang away.
Xiao Qingli's Xu Ying became increasingly transparent. "Hurry... go to Eternal Night Palace... there are answers you seek!" Yun Che crashed into the depths of Star Palace towards a Teleportation Array; at that instant when its patterns lit up, Mo Qianshan's God-Slaying Chains shredded Fu Mo Qin's remnant.
He screamed as he plunged into the darkness, the icy blue sword imprint left in his palm solidifying. The chill of the Eternal Night Palace seeped into his bones, and the sound of dragging chains echoed through the darkness.
A hoarse voice emerged from the abyss: "Starfall Saint... you have finally come to reclaim your heart?"
Yun Che raced through the dense forest, the shouts of pursuers piercing the morning mist behind him. The Soul Locking Talisman set by Mo Qianshan hung in the sky, its blood-red light casting a pall over the withered vegetation below. Blood oozed from the arrow wound in his right shoulder, and the power of Xing Wen was suppressed by the poison; each step felt like walking on blades.
"Once I pass through the Poisonous Fog Forest, I can shake off my pursuers..." He gritted his teeth, tearing off a strip of his clothing to bind his wound, then plunged headfirst into the swirling gray-green mist ahead.
The stench assaulted him as he entered, and amidst the fog, he could faintly hear the sound of bones grinding together. These were beasts eroded by poison, reduced to mere shells of their former selves.
Three human-faced Spider Demons leaped down from the treetops, their spider legs slicing toward Yun Che's neck like scythes. He rolled to the side, forcing himself to activate Nine Thunderclaps with his palm, but only two thunderous booms erupted!
The Spider Demon was knocked back by the force of his punch, rotten flesh splattering everywhere, revealing a pulsating dark green Poison Core within its chest.
