Chapter 42: Blood Pupil Heavenly Sundial, Jin Bones as a Contract

##**Chapter 42: Blood Pupil Heavenly Sundial, Jin Bones as a Contract**

###**I. Day Falls Night Rises, Walking Against the Dao**

The Eye of Eternal Night slowly rotated in the sky, and the cultivators gazed upon by it let out successive screams. The Medicine King Valley elder watched his pill furnace in horror—the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill that was supposed to take shape was now twisting into a star sand skeleton in the furnace, its jawbone opening and closing to spit out the First Generation Coffin Keeper's voice:

**"Spiritual veins are shackles, the Dantian is a prison."**

The cultivation techniques of all factions in the Primordial Desolation began to undergo irreversible distortion:

-The life-bound sword spirit of a sword cultivator backlashed against its master, star sand meridian patterns appearing on the sword body;

-The golden body of a Buddhist Arhat grew star sand bone spurs, the Sanskrit chanting turning into Xiaoyaozi's wild laughter;

-The tears of the East Sea mermen condensed into amber, sealing the scene of Star River gouging out bones eight hundred thousand years ago!

On the ruins of the Supervision Hall, the twin-blossom phoenix spread its star fire wings. Where each feather fell, the earth cracked open into trenches engraved with the new chapters of the "Burial Fire Art"—the characters were actually written in reverse!

###**II. Return to Ruins Fetal Movement, Evil Corpse Knocks on the Gate**

The star sand embryo in the ruins of the bronze gate throbbed violently, the surface displaying ten thousand Xiaoyaozi faces. The Star River Immortal Venerable's voice pierced through the fetal membrane:

"You think the technique of cutting off the three corpses is something only you can use?"

The embryo suddenly split open, and what crawled out was the young Star River! The umbilical cord he held in his hand was clearly made from the spinal cord extracted from the First Generation Coffin Keeper. Every step the youth took, star sand mandalas bloomed on the ground, sealing the memory fragments of Lin Jin's past lives in the heart of the flowers.

"Master, are you satisfied with this grand gift?" Xinghe raised his hand and summoned the 'Silent Sundial', the life-bound artifact of the First Generation from back then, but the sundial needle was spliced together from the finger bones of one hundred thousand Xiaoyaozi!

###**III. Lotus Jin Twin Birth, Sundial Pupil Mutual Devouring**

The twin-blossom phoenix landed on the shore of the Boundless Blood Sea, the Eye of Eternal Night and the Silent Sundial intertwining into a Taiji diagram on its forehead. Ao Li's voice came from the left body: "The First Generation buried in the depths of the blood sea..." Before she could finish, the right side, Lin Jin's face, suddenly twisted, and star sand chains pierced the Taiji diagram:

"Shut up! You and I are just vessel spirits!"

The phoenix wings exploded, and two figures fell into the star fire—on the left, Ao Li with half a sundial needle stuck in her heart, on the right, Lin Jin with his right eye having become an Eye of Eternal Night. Suspended between the two was a chaotic cocoon, from which came the First Generation's cold declaration:

**"Emotion is the final shackle."**

The blood sea suddenly surged with giant waves, carrying three divine artifacts on the crests: the umbilical cord of the Star River embryo, the Heaven-Robbing Sundial, and the heart fragments Lin Jin had crushed back then!

###**IV. Burning the Contract and Breaking the Sundial, My Dao is Not the Dao**

Lin Jin inserted his bare hand into the Eye of Eternal Night, and the gouged-out eyeball turned into a star sand contract. The terms were suffocating:

-Article 1: The wielder of the new Heavenly Dao must personally bury their beloved;

-Article 9: When the Return to Ruins gate opens, the wielder of the sundial shall be imprisoned in the Boundless forever;

-Final Article: The signature line for the contractor was actually the blood-stained fingerprints of both the First Generation Coffin Keeper and Star River Xiaoyao!

"So that's it..." Lin Jin suddenly crushed the contract, and star sand fragments pierced into the chaotic cocoon. The First Generation's divine body suddenly screamed, and the blood sea evaporated by thirty percent. The Heaven-Robbing Sundial needle spun crazily, and the phantoms of all those who had signed the contract over the past eight hundred thousand years appeared in the air—all of them had miniature Eyes of Eternal Night embedded in their brows!

Ao Li struggled to crawl toward the heart fragments, and the fragments suddenly lit up: "Lin Jin... this is yours..." Before she could finish, the Star River embryo whipped the umbilical cord to shatter the fragments, and the splashing blood spelled out "Burn Contract" in the air!

###**V. Jin Bone Nirvana, Twilight of the Saints**

Lin Jin ignited the Burial Fire to stabilize his spirit, and the twin-blossom phoenix remains automatically decomposed, reorganizing into a heaven-defying giant array:

-Phoenix feathers as array patterns, writing the Heavenly Dao laws tampered with by the First Generation;

-Phoenix blood as spiritual ink, drawing the evidence of Star River and Xiaoyao killing their master;

-Sundial needle suspended at the array eye, counting down the time until the First Generation's consciousness dissipated!

The First Generation finally stepped out of the chaotic cocoon, his face nine-tenths similar to Lin Jin's, but his body wrapped in eight hundred thousand star sand chains: "Rebellious disciple! You dare..."

"I am the most perfect rebellion you ever created!" Lin Jin detonated the array eye, and the Heaven-Robbing Sundial needle shattered inch by inch. The living beings of the Primordial Desolation heard the sound of glass shattering between heaven and earth—the old Heavenly Dao began to collapse!

###**Finale: New Sundial, Old Blood**

Twelve star sand pillars rose from the ruins of the Supervision Hall, each sealing a portion of the First Generation's divine soul. Ao Li's residual soul clung to the pillar surface, shocked to find her memories tampered with:

Eight hundred years ago, during her Nirvana, it was she who personally injected the First Generation's consciousness into Lin Jin's body!

And in the deepest part of the Return to Ruins, the young Star River was reorganizing the Heaven-Robbing Sundial. He used the umbilical cord to dip into the blood sea water, writing a new contract on the sundial surface:

**"Now with eternal night as a contract, imprison the First Generation, bury Xiaoyao, refine Lin Jin into a vessel—Star River holds the pen, all ages in silence."**

The blood sea suddenly boiled, and countless star sand contracts surged from the seabed. The names of the signatories on each contract were changing, finally settling on the same two characters:
