The moment the World-Purifying White Lotus bloomed, the Eight-Treasure Merit Pond in the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss suddenly dried up. Nezha, suspended above the lotus heart on his Wind and Fire Wheels, saw every petal burning with the formation patterns of the Three Teachings' slaughter array. Within the blazing Karmic Fire, the discarded sixteen-foot golden body of the Saint Jieyin emerged.
"There is something strange about this golden body!" Yang Jian’s body, petrified up to his jaw, suddenly trembled. The remaining golden light from his Heavenly Eye pierced into the interior of the golden body—thousands of Buddhist disciples were gnawing at its marrow, and every bite they took birthed demonic patterns of the God-Slaying Spear. The petrified statue of the Xiaotian Hound suddenly cracked; its head turned toward Lingshan and spat out a Turtle Shell fragment inscribed with the words "Karma must be repaid."
Sun Wukong smashed the malevolent golden lotus flowers lunging at him with his Ruyi Jingu Bang, but the Mending Heaven Stone patterns on the staff began to flake off the moment they touched the petals. His Fiery Eyes of Truth revealed a horrifying reality: the roots of the World-Purifying White Lotus were connected to the Chaotic Egg Infant, and every lotus rootlet was piercing into the blank spaces of the new Investiture of the Gods. "This damn white lotus is tampering with destiny!"
