Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 555 Li Jing and Nezha descend to the mortal realm, Zhen Yuanzi makes his move!

The Dragon Palace of the East Sea is even more magnificent than that of the South Sea, with crystal palaces stretching for hundreds of miles, and luminous pearls illuminating the seabed as if it were daytime.

Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, was enjoying the dance of the clam spirits when a guard came to report that the Dragon King of the South Sea was requesting an audience.

"What's the rush?" Ao Guang asked, seeing Ao Qin's grim expression. He waved for the dancers to leave.

Ao Qin plopped down on the coral chair and recounted the events with embellishments, emphasizing how Fang Yu disregarded the dragon clan's authority and forcibly seized the dragon palace's treasures.

"That brat even boasted that he would raze the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas to the ground!" Ao Qin added through gritted teeth.

Ao Guang stroked the dragon's beard, his eyes gleaming: "Is this person truly unrelated to the Wuzhuang Temple?"

"He said it himself!" Ao Qin slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "This matter concerns the reputation of our Dragon Clan. If we don't punish him severely, how will we stand in the Three Realms in the future?"

Ao Guang pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "If he wasn't from Wuzhuang Temple, then where did he learn his supernatural powers?"

“Five hundred years ago, that stable boy also came to the Dragon Palace and taught me a lesson.” Ao Guang smiled wryly. “But that monkey was at least transformed from Nuwa’s patching stone, and the relationship behind him was unclear. What is this kid’s background?”

Ao Qin was speechless; he truly knew nothing about Fang Yu's background.

Ao Guang sighed, "Do you know the origin of the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool?"

"Wasn't this a treasure bestowed upon me by the Heavenly Court to guard the South China Sea and protect the four seas?"

Ao Guang shook his head: "That Thunder Pool was originally a treasure left by the ancient Thunder God. It fell into your hands by chance and can only be used as decoration. Now that you've recognized that kid as your master, I'm afraid..."

"Does Brother mean we should just give up?" Ao Qin's dragon whiskers stood on end in his anxiety. "What will become of the reputation of the South Sea Dragon Palace?"

"Not so." A sly glint flashed in Ao Guang's eyes. "I've heard that the Great Immortal Zhenyuan has been traveling recently and hasn't returned. Only two young disciples are guarding Wuzhuang Temple. If that boy truly has nothing to do with Wuzhuang Temple, we can easily..."

Ao Qin's eyes lit up: "Big brother means..."

"Let's find out who this person is first," Ao Guang said in a low voice. "If he really has no powerful backers, then we can report to the Jade Emperor and punish him for the crime of disrespecting the heavens."

Ao Qin nodded repeatedly, a smile finally appearing on his dragon-like face: "Brother is indeed farsighted! I'll go and make the arrangements right away!"

Fang Yu used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return directly to the foot of Wuzhuang Temple.

He couldn't wait to take out the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, wanting to test the power of this treasure.

"Thunder comes!"

With a soft shout from Fang Yu, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder in the Thunder Pool shot into the sky, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long thunder dragon in the air.

Wherever the thunder dragon passed, the clouds dispersed and the mountains trembled.

"Boom!"

A bolt of purple lightning struck down, flattening a small hill in the distance. The rocks instantly vaporized, leaving not even a trace.

"Awesome!" Fang Yu laughed. "With this and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, I'll be way stronger than Raikou from now on!"

Back at Wuzhuang Temple, Qingfeng and Mingyue were anxiously waiting in front of the mountain gate.

Seeing Fang Yu return safely, the two breathed a sigh of relief, but then became tense again.

Qingfeng's nose twitched, and his expression changed drastically. "Wait... what's that smell?"

Fang Yu took the item out and explained, "It was given to me by the Old Dragon King of the South Sea. He said it was very precious and a treasure of the palace."

Mingyue jumped up: "You stole the treasure of the South Sea Dragon Palace?!"

Fang Yu shrugged: "That old mudfish was willing to accept defeat, how can you call that robbery?"

"We're doomed! We're doomed!" Qingfeng clutched his head and squatted down. "When Master comes back, he'll skin us alive!"

Mingyue circled around Fang Yu, both surprised and worried: "You can actually control this thing?"

Fang Yu didn't explain, but looked up at the sky above Wuzhuang Temple, vaguely sensing that a storm was brewing.

"The weather's about to change!"

After leaving the East Sea, Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South Sea, went directly to the Heavenly Court.

He knelt outside the Lingxiao Palace, tearfully accusing Fang Yu of his evil deeds to the Jade Emperor.

"Your Majesty! That evil Taoist priest forcibly seized my palace's treasure and even boasted that he would pacify the four seas! Such an act of defiance against the majesty of Heaven must be severely punished, lest the order of the Three Realms be utterly destroyed!"

The Jade Emperor sat upright on his dragon throne, his brows slightly furrowed: "Is the person you speak of residing in the Wuzhuang Temple?"

Ao Qin's heart skipped a beat, but he forced a smile and said, "That sorcerer claims to have no connection with Wuzhuang Temple and is only staying temporarily."

"Oh?" The Jade Emperor looked at Taibai Jinxing beside him. "What does Jinxing think?" Taibai Jinxing stroked his long beard. "This old minister believes that we should first find out the origin of this person. If he is really unrelated to Wuzhuang Temple, it will not be too late to carry out the attack."

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to bring my son Nezha and lead the heavenly soldiers and generals down to the mortal realm to capture this fiend!"

The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Very well, Li Tianwang, just as Ao Aiqing said, let's capture the man first, retrieve the items, and then interrogate him."

Upon hearing this, Ao Qin was overjoyed and repeatedly kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Heavenly Court governs matters in the mortal realm, but even a hundred years might not see them sending troops.

But it doesn't matter what Heaven does; it can come at any time.

Fang Yu had just explained things clearly to Qingfeng Mingyue, and his Mind Network and Observation Haki were issuing a frantic warning!

He looked up at the sky, squinted, and said, "They're here!"

The clouds in the sky churned like boiling water, and golden light pierced through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the entire Longevity Hill as if it were cast in gold.

Tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals rode on auspicious clouds in formation, their golden armor reflecting light so bright it was blinding.

"It's all over! It's all over!" Qingfeng rushed over, tumbling and crawling. "The heavenly soldiers and generals have surrounded Wuzhuang Temple!"

Mingyue's face turned deathly pale. "Master is not here! What are we going to do?!"

Fang Yu looked up at the clouds, his gaze piercing through the layers of heavenly soldiers, locking onto the figure riding on a wheel of wind and fire.
The Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, Nezha!
Unlike the comical demon in "Ne Zha Conquers the Dragon King", the person in front of him is wearing lotus armor, with the Hun Tian Ling wrapped around his arm, and his Fire-Tipped Spear is wrapped with evil energy that distorts space.

The most terrifying thing was those eyes. In those golden pupils, it seemed as if thousands of demons were howling in agony. They were the eyes of a god of slaughter who had truly slain countless demon kings!
"Gulp." Fang Yu's Adam's apple bobbed, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

He had seen countless powerful beings in the multiverse, but he had never felt such a strong sense of crisis.

The sense of oppression he felt from Nezha far exceeded that from that from the North King.

"Listen up, you demons below!" Li Jing's roar shook the mountains and caused rocks to tumble down. "Hand over the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool at once and kneel down to be bound!"

Qingfeng stamped his feet in frustration: "I told you we can't take things from the Dragon Palace!"

"It's alright!" Fang Yu suddenly shouted, his eyes blazing with golden flames. He silently took off, facing the heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as Li Jing and his son Nezha.

Fang Yu never intended to use the background of Wuzhuang Temple to obtain a treasure or bully others.

He plans to use the Flying Thunder God Technique and the heavenly soldiers and generals to deal with them!

He simply refused to believe that with so many Flying Thunder God Techniques scattered along the westward journey, as long as he didn't die on the spot, who could catch him?
"I took the items; it has nothing to do with Wuzhuang Temple!"

A cold snort came from the clouds.

Li Jing wanted to urge Nezha to go down and subdue Fang Yu, but Nezha hesitated to move.

Just as Li Jing was about to throw the pagoda, Nezha's murderous gaze turned towards him, and Li Jing quickly withdrew his intention to throw the pagoda.

Nezha's eyes said it all.

Do you think you're holding a tower?
You're holding my dad's hand! You're just a pagoda-bearer! Without the pagoda, you'll be the first one I deal with!
Seeing that Li Jing had no intention of making a move, Nezha sneered, took the Demon-Slaying Sword, and headed straight for Fang Yu!

"Ah! Watch out!" Seeing that Fang Yu seemed to have no way to defend himself, the two young Taoist disciples, Qingfeng and Mingyue, rushed forward to help!

Just as Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear was only three inches away from Fang Yu's throat, the entire world suddenly froze!
As if torn apart by an invisible hand, a figure in plain white stepped through the air.

"Master!" Qingfeng Mingyue knelt down with a thud.

"The universe is in your sleeves!"

Zhen Yuanzi lightly raised his sleeve, and Nezha's Wind and Fire Wheels spun wildly, but still couldn't stop his body. Even with the Hun Tian Ling stretched straight, it couldn't hold onto the clouds!

"what!"

Nezha's shouts came to an abrupt halt. This god of war, who had once pulled out the dragon's tendons and caused havoc in the East Sea, vanished in the blink of an eye, like a grasshopper caught in a whirlpool, hidden in Zhen Yuanzi's seemingly ordinary sleeve.

Li Jing's face was ashen, and his hands, which were holding the pagoda, trembled like a leaf.

They're not even in the same league!
What do we do now?!

What happened to the promise that it had nothing to do with Wuzhuang Temple?!
Zhen Yuanzi coldly looked at Li Jing: "How dare you act so presumptuously in front of my Taoist temple!"

He flicked his sleeves; the sound wasn't loud, but it made people's heads buzz!

"You really think you can take me, Zhen Yuanzi?"

"Used as a decoration!?"
