Chapter Summaries

Su Han and Bi Yao discovered a sacrificial altar beneath the Azure Flame pool and a woman who looked exactly like Bi Yao. As skeletons attacked, Bi Yao began chanting and her markings spread, leaving Su Han surrounded and wounded.

• Su Han saw the drained pool reveal a rune-covered bone altar and a figure resembling Bi Yao.
• Bi Yao recognized the scene as a sacrifice and urged Su Han to flee when the figure opened its pupil-less eyes.
• The bones rose as Azure Flame skeletons and attacked Su Han and Bi Yao.
• Su Han fought the skeletons while Bi Yao shut her eyes and began chanting as the markings on her collarbone crept toward her neck.
• The skeletons wounded Su Han and absorbed his blood, making the flames in their eyes burn brighter.

Su Han discovered that an ancient entity had taken control of Bi Yao and intended to sacrifice her to awaken something more ancient. As Bi Yao fought back, she told Su Han to use the pool water, and he looked toward the awakening figure beneath the drained pool.

• Bi Yao awoke with dark red eyes, stopped the skeletons, and revealed that an ancient entity controlled her body.
• The entity attacked Su Han and said it planned to use Bi Yao as an offering to awaken something more ancient.
• Bi Yao briefly regained control and struggled against the entity while Su Han restrained her.
• Bi Yao told Su Han to use the pool water, and he saw the skeletons writhing beside the awakening figure beneath the drained pool.

Su Han fought to restrain the possessed Bi Yao as her body transformed and a mirrored version of her rose from the drained pool. Bi Yao’s faint struggle showed she was still present, and Su Han turned his attention to the dry pool bottom as the bones became a foundation for the rising figure.

• The pool drained as the bones writhed toward the figure rising in the pillar of light, whose body resembled Bi Yao and began to look alive.
• The ancient will regained control of the Bi Yao beneath Su Han, and she clawed at him with blackened nails.
• Su Han dodged the attack, was cut across the cheek, and forced Bi Yao’s wrist behind her back again.
• Su Han saw a brief flicker of pain in Bi Yao’s eyes and remembered her plea about the pool water.
• The mirrored figure set her feet on the bone pile, and the bones froze beneath her like foundation stones.

The being in the pillar of light awakened atop the bone throne, revealing crimson vortex eyes that filled Su Han with an overwhelming fear of annihilation. It ignored the ancient will possessing Bi Yao at first, then fixed its gaze on Su Han, leaving him frozen in terror.

• The being on the bone throne slowly opened its eyes as dark red energy flowed into it.
• The ancient will occupying Bi Yao struggled free of Su Han’s restraint and blasted him into a stone wall.
• The ancient will recognized the awakened being as the Ancient Chaos Core and the Eye of the Abyss.
• The awakened being swept its gaze over the ancient will and then locked onto Su Han.
• Su Han felt his body and thoughts freeze under the being’s gaze, unable to move or resist.

Su Han realized the dark red residue at the bottom of the pool could threaten the ancient will possessing Bi Yao. He overcame the pressure of the scarlet gaze and lunged for the residue, leaving his attempt to save her unresolved.

• Su Han spotted a tiny puddle of dark red liquid seeping from a broken bone at the pool’s edge.
• The false Bi Yao reacted with intense fear when she saw the liquid, and the mirrored figure’s gaze briefly shifted toward her.
• Su Han connected Bi Yao’s plea and the false Bi Yao’s fear to the residue, concluding it was his only chance to save Bi Yao.
• Su Han bit through his tongue to rally his strength and launched himself toward the puddle.

Su Han made a desperate attempt to reach the dark-red puddle and save what remained of Bi Yao's soul, but the false "Bi Yao" commanded the bones to block him. Su Han crashed into the Bone Sinister Claws and suffered devastating injuries.

• Su Han forced his failing body forward toward the dark-red puddle at the bottom of the pool.

• Five enormous arm bones fused into a cage of claws and rose in Su Han's path.
• Su Han slammed into the Bone Sinister Claws, bringing his charge to a halt and reopening his wounds.

Su Han risked further injury to reach the purifying dark-red liquid while the fake "Bi Yao" fought to stop him. As the ancient will lunged, Bi Yao's suppressed consciousness erupted in resistance.

• Su Han twisted his falling body and used decayed bone splinters to change his trajectory, rolling beneath the bone cage toward the dark-red puddle.
• Su Han crashed beside the puddle and reached for it despite the pain and the burning aura from the liquid.
• The fake "Bi Yao" broke partly free of the Scarlet Mirror Body's restraint and lunged at Su Han to protect the puddle.
• Bi Yao's original soul seized the ancient will's distraction and violently resisted from within her body.

Bi Yao’s struggle against the ancient will inside her sent her arm plunging into the dark-red liquid, where it began to burn and corrode. Su Han seized the opening and pressed his palm into the remaining pool, leaving both of them in agony.

• Bi Yao’s body went out of control as the ancient will and her own resistance fought within her.
• Bi Yao’s twisted hand struck the dark-red liquid instead of Su Han, and the substance began corroding her fingers and arm.
• Bi Yao resisted the ancient will and forced her burning hand farther down into the liquid.
• Su Han reached beneath Bi Yao’s arm and slammed his palm into the remaining dark-red liquid.
• The liquid burned Su Han’s palm and released a cloud of deep-red and black corrosive mist.

Su Han absorbed the dark-red energy and used his transformed right arm to clash with Bi Yao’s Netherworld Nirvana: Withering Finger. Their attacks tore through the surroundings, and the blast hurled the gravely wounded Su Han into a boulder.
