When the Black Tortoise’s left claw pierced the Nine Heavens, the gale it unleashed ground the wreckage of the blood-stained South Heavenly Gate into fine powder. Nezha retreated rapidly, his Wind and Fire Wheels extinguished, as the Universal Heaven Ribbon wrapped around the scales protruding near the vertical pupil in the center of the claw. The fabric of the ribbon was instantly corroded into a honeycomb of holes by the chaotic turbid energy. Yang Jian’s fully petrified body suddenly shattered, his Heavenly Eye fragments condensing into a golden rain that traced the complete meridians of the human lineage across the void.
"These markings..." Sun Wukong, riding his Somersault Cloud, streaked through the gaps between the tortoise’s talons, his Ruyi Jingu Bang churning a three-hundred-mile-wide vortex of chaos. The moment the staff brushed against the ravines of the claw’s patterns, the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper spontaneously aligned into the path of the Conception and Governor vessels. "Old Sun’s weapon is evolving a human cultivation technique!"
The Xiaotian Hound shifted into human form and leapt onto the back of the claw, the Azure Dragon Pearl erupting with verdant light in his palm. As the light illuminated the seventh fissure in the claw’s patterns, the group was horrified to see a fragment of Mount Buzhou drifting deep within the crack—the mountain mass that had shattered when Gonggong struck it had been absorbed by the Black Tortoise’s claw markings!
