Chapter 691

The Eight-Part Heavenly Dragons refer to the Devas, Nagas, Yakshas, Gandharvas, Asuras, Garudas, Kinnaras, and Mahoragas. The Eight-Part Heavenly Dragons comprise eight kinds of divine, monstrous beings. Because the "Devas" and "Nagas" are the most important among them, they are collectively called the "Eight-Part Heavenly Dragons." The Eight-Part Heavenly Dragons are the "guardian deities" commonly found in Buddhist scriptures. The celestial beings and dragon gods are the leaders of the eight legions, hence the name. The Eight-Part Heavenly Dragons are also known as the Eightfold Heavenly Dragons, the Eightfold Dragon Gods, and the Eightfold Legions. These terms originate from Buddhist scriptures. Little Monk Wuwang possesses the bloodline of the Eight-Part Heavenly Dragons, yet he does not know to which specific divine monster his bloodline belongs.
