Chapter 161 Ruyi Divine Armor

Nezha was born from Lady Li Jing's three-year and six-month pregnancy, and upon birth, appeared as a fleshly orb. As the orb split open, a child who was able to walk, run, and speak immediately leapt out. Always regarded by Li Jing as a demon child, the advent of such a great calamity made Li Jing unable to tolerate him any longer. Far from protecting him, Li Jing instead took away Nezha's treasures, preventing him from fighting back. In order to protect the safety of the entire city's populace, Nezha, in his sorrow and anger, committed suicide, slicing his flesh to return to his mother and extracting his bones to repay his father. This fulfillment of a vast calamity in the trial of death pleased the Taiyi True Man who, feigning kindness, used a lotus root to fashion a new physical body for Nezha, called the Lotus Incarnation, which virtually severed Nezha's path to reaching the pinnacle.
