Chapter 278

Amidst the swirling smoke and dust of the collapsing Heavenly Court, a burst of chaotic green light erupted from the golden hoop around Sun Wukong’s forehead. The hoop fractured piece by piece, its shards coalescing into the phantom image of a Pangu Axe handle. Across its surface, tadpole-like script squirmed like dragons, revealing four small seal characters: "Manufactured by Haotian." As the seven restrictions hidden within the hoop disintegrated, the tip of Nezha’s God-Slaying Spear suddenly swiveled; the "Spirit Pearl" inscription on its hilt interlocked perfectly with the markings on the axe handle! "So that’s it!" A voice resonated from the stone statue of Yang Jian. Fragments of his Heavenly Eye flew back from Guixu, projecting an ancient, dark secret into the void. In the vision, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun held the original golden hoop, forging shards of the Pangu Axe handle into it. Beside him, the Jade Emperor Haotian used his finger as a quill, carving three thousand laws into the hoop—each one corresponding to the heavenly precepts established when the Heavenly Court was founded!
