Deep within the ruins of the Doushu Palace came the sound of shattering glass, as three thousand blood-colored Golden Cores burst forth from the furnace. The pills swelled in the wind, transforming into demons with red faces and fangs, spewing filth from their mouths and shooting blood-red light from their eyes. Wherever they passed, the spirits and essence of all living things were devoured. Yang Jian’s Heavenly Eye snapped open, revealing that the Yuqing talismans on the shells of the Golden Cores were connected to the Investiture of the Gods, causing the names of every deity on the scroll to glow with blood-red light simultaneously.
"Do not let the demon pills escape!"
Sun Wukong stepped onto his Somersault Cloud to intercept the seven mansions of the East, his Ruyi Jingu Bang churning the Heavenly River Weak Water into a vortex. As three of the Golden Cores struck the water curtain, the "Ordained by Heaven" edicts on their shells erupted, staining the Weak Water a deep crimson. Nezha, standing atop his demonized Wind and Fire Wheels, used the tip of the God-Slaying Spear to hook three more Golden Cores from the West. Suddenly, images of Zhao Gongming having his soul extracted and his spirit refined flashed across the spear’s shaft—the cores were wrapped around the weeping, blood-soaked primordial spirits of the Jiejiao immortals!
