The moment my Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear pierced the compound eye of the Insect Mother, the Seven Fairies' heavenly silk garments suddenly shattered. Thousands of gu insects surged from beneath their pale skin, assembling into the Hunyuan Heluo Diagram across the dome of the Heavenly Court. The golden light from my Heavenly Eye flared, illuminating the core pulsing within the Insect Mother—a fragment of Hongmeng Purple Qi intertwined with the shattered imperial crown of the Jade Emperor Haotian.
"Move aside, Old Sun!" Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Jingu Bang pulverized the sky full of insects, yet his Seventy-Two Avatars, upon touching the Heluo Diagram, took on the appearance he had before being pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain. Nezha charged through the swarm on his Wind and Fire Wheels. The instant his Fire-Tip Spear struck the Insect Mother's mandibles, the Universal Heaven Ribbon suddenly coiled around his waist. "Yang Jian... it's reading the memories of the Investiture of the Gods..."
Xiaotian Hound shifted into human form and leaped onto the insect's back. Beneath the shell cleaved open by his black iron folding fan lay bare, ghastly bones—the Seven Fairies' spines were connected to the Insect Mother’s nervous system, each rib inscribed with Jieyin's incantations. I thrust my spear and severed the third nerve cable; the golden blood spraying from the break was mingled with tattered pages of the Investiture of the Gods.
