Acai's Sky

As the twelve funeral bells tore through the dawn sky, the entire imperial city began to wriggle strangely.

Sticky blood beads oozed from the vermilion palace walls, glazed tiles stood upright like scales, and the moat was surging with boiling corpse oil.

The dragon scales on Ah Cai's palm burned like branding irons, and the star map on its carapace projected an inverted Big Dipper onto the Suzaku Gate. Wherever the light reached, the floor tiles cracked, revealing a bottomless secret passage!

The entrance to the secret passage is like the esophagus of a giant beast, and the inner wall is covered with mucous membrane that is still pulsating.

The palace lanterns on both sides were actually made of curled-up baby corpses, with the fetus's purple palms holding up the burning umbilical cord, and the firelight illuminated the "Xuan Ji Alchemy Diagram" on the wall, which was covered with human skin.

The picture is inscribed in fine small calligraphy: "In the seventeenth year of Yongtai, on the day of Frost Descent, forty-nine boys and forty-nine girls were taken, equal to the number of stars in the Big Dipper..."

"There is dragon energy in the Qian position!"

As soon as the golden raccoon's claws touched the cat's eye stone of the lamp base, the entire corridor suddenly turned over like a giant python.

Hundreds of arms wrapped in bright yellow silk stretched out from the wall, with jade chips embedded in the cracks between their nails - they were clearly the limbs of palace maids who were buried alive!

"Seven steps to the Dui position, step on the dragon's eye!"

The Xuantian tortoise shell floats in the air and spins rapidly.

Ah Cai stepped precisely on the blood-red pupils of the dragon's eyes with every step, and a loud sound of the mechanism biting came from under the floor tiles.

When the seventh step was taken, nine vermilion lacquered doors suddenly opened in front of them. Each door reflected the tragic death of Ah Cai: some were swallowed by the alchemy furnace, some were trapped in the spider-web-like star tracks, and the most horrifying one was the ninth door - it reflected her imperial appearance wearing a dragon robe but bleeding from all seven orifices!

Jin Yuanbao suddenly ran into the third door drunkenly.

The moment the rat's body passed through the door panel, the other eight doors simultaneously sprayed out a rain of poisonous arrows!

Behind the door was not the imperial study, but the alchemy hall with a star map hanging high in the dome.

The bronze alchemy furnace in the center of the hall was wrapped with chains inscribed with curses. The relief carving on the furnace body was a comic strip of Xuanjizi devouring a baby. Beside the picture was written in blood: "Using the royal heir as a guide, you can refine the elixir of immortality."

The alchemy furnace door opened with a bang, and three dragon-patterned pills with flowing purple air rolled out.

A human face appeared on the surface of the pill, and it was the painful faces of Emperor Yongtai and the two princes!

Xuanjizi's voice came from the furnace, with the noise of metal rubbing against stone: "Your Majesty has taken the elixir and ascended to immortality. You have left your dragon soul to serve me..."

Tentacles with tangled blood vessels extended from the bottom of the furnace and rolled towards the suspended human pill.

A Cai cut off the tentacles with the sword, but Ren Dan automatically flew towards the dome star map.

When the elixir was embedded in the three stars of Ziweiyuan, the dome of the entire hall suddenly softened and turned into a bright yellow dragon belly, with smelly acid rain falling from the opening and closing of the scales.

Raindrops corrode the golden bricks as they hit the ground, and green smoke rises, carrying away the souls of the wronged.

【Nine Deaths Dilemma】

★ Human Pills return to their original positions (each Human Pill activates the twelve-hour guard)

★ Dragon Acid Rain (Equipment durability -10% per second)

★ Xuanji Soul Absorber (Forcefully absorbs players every 30 seconds)

Brahma unfolded the Fire Feather Barrier, and Scarlet Moon's sharp claws tore through the seams of the star map.

When the last human pill was taken away by the Xuanwu Zun, the dragon's abdomen suddenly spasmed violently.

Xuanjizi's half-human, half-dragon body burst out of his abdomen—his left arm turned into a dragon claw covered with talismans, and the Yuchang sword he was holding tightly was dripping with golden blood!

Xuanjizi's dragon tail swept through the Panlong pillar, and the twelve gilded puppets in the hall came to life.

The eye sockets of these two-foot-tall golden figures ignited with dark blue soul fire, and they uttered the forbidden spell of the previous dynasty: "Punish the traitors and protect the country!"

Black corpse oil seeped out from the cracks in the golden armor, and every step left a smoking footprint on the ground.

Jin Yuanbao took the opportunity to climb up the dragon's spine and poured the entire jar of Drunken Immortal Wine into the gaps in the dragon's scales.

Xuanji Zilong's body suddenly twisted, and the dragon breath he exhaled was wrapped in the smell of alcohol: "You evil beast who stole the pill..."

The dragon claw actually slapped the top of his head and dug out three golden pills with flowing starlight - they were the ambergris pills that were taken out of Jin Yuanbao's body that year!

The Big Dipper mark appeared on the surface of the golden elixir, resonating with the seal on Ah Cai's wrist and emitting light.

The Xuanwu Holy Armor suddenly became hot.

The tortoise and snake pattern on Ah Cai's back separated from her skin and condensed into a physical Big Dipper Lock in the air.

"Lock!"

When the seven star chains clasped Xuanjizi's throat, the Yuchang sword in his hand suddenly turned around and pierced the dragon's heart like a suicide!

What gushed out of the dragon's heart was not blood, but sticky star sand.

The star sand formed an incomplete Ziwei constellation map in the sky, and the last blood edict of Emperor Yongtai appeared in the map: "I will feed Xuanwu with the energy of the whole country in exchange for my son's twenty years of life..." The edict was not fully revealed, and Xuanjizi's broken body suddenly swelled up like a ball.

The shock wave from the explosion shattered the temple wall, revealing a hidden observatory.

A huge basalt carapace was suspended on the top of the platform, and every scale of the carapace imprisoned a wailing soul - in the center of the reverse scale, the face of Acai's mother was being burned by the talisman fire!

"Mom!" A Cai rushed towards Jia Ke. She knew it was a copy and fake, but she couldn't help herself.

The moment the holy armor resonated with the reverse scale, the entire set of basalt armor disintegrated.

The pieces of nails scattered like meteors, spelling out a warning hexagram in the night sky: Tan Lang devours the sun, Qi Sha destroys the palace.

When the last piece of armor fell, a cold jade coffin rose in the center of the observatory.

The remains of Emperor Yongtai in the coffin suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden thread shot out from his jade ring, wrapping around Ah Cai's wrist: "Jiu'er... take the seal..."

The imperial seal broke out of the chest, and the eyes of the black tortoise seal button burst into golden light.

The jade seal fell into Acai's hands like a tired bird returning to its nest, and the veins of the entire imperial city began to boil!

The broken pieces of basalt armor flew back and reassembled into a dark imperial robe on the girl. The stars on the corners of the robe were embroidered with soul fire.

There were deafening shouts of killing coming from outside the palace gate.

When the rebels broke through the palace gate, they saw the young emperor standing on the star map.

The Emperor of Ziwei was flowing with the halo of the Milky Way, and with a light tap of his fingertips, thousands of weapons turned into ashes.

The veteran suddenly knelt and shouted, "Xuanwu protects the country! Meet the Empress!"

Wherever the sound reached, half of the imperial guards turned against them.

Three days later at midnight, at the largest auction house of the "Rebirth Platform" in the Black Pavilion of the Ghost Market.

The Golden Raccoon, wearing the Prime Minister's black gauze hat askew, drunkenly struck the human bone jade chime: "The Black Tortoise Tear Crystal auction failed! Now the new emperor's first decree is issued--"

Xuanjizi's head was frozen in a black crystal column on the exhibition stand, with half of a snake demon still swimming inside his skull. Ah Cai's voice resounded through the tear crystals throughout the venue:

"From now on, the Sansheng Huangquan Pawnshop will be renamed the Wangsheng Inn! Anyone who pawns their life will receive it back with a blood contract; anyone who pledges their soul will drink Mengpo soup and enter the cycle of reincarnation!"

The imperial edict turned into a golden talisman branded on the forehead of every vendor. The shopkeepers wearing the crying and laughing Nuo masks screamed and rolled over, and their true faces were revealed under the masks - it was the missing accountant from all generations!

The booth slowly sank, revealing the real tear crystal in the secret compartment.

The Black Tortoise Spirit sleeping in the crystal suddenly opened its eyes, its gaze penetrating the nine layers of the earth's crust.

In the deepest part of the underground river, the wine-guarding Yakshas performed an ancient sacrificial dance, and vast waves rose in the center of the wine lake.

The amber wine condensed into a lotus throne, holding up the crystal coffin and slowly rising up - the sword wound on the chest of the woman in the coffin was being repaired by Jiuquan at a speed visible to the naked eye.

(The moment the crystal coffin was opened, the love lock made of fetal hair fell into the wine lake

The first snow of the eighteenth year of Yongtai fell like a star map on the new emperor's shoulders.
