Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

The air was filled with a complex atmosphere of new life mixed with suppressed fighting spirit.

He disregarded his churning blood and qi, abruptly raising his head and instantly locking his gaze on the figure still standing with his hands behind his back.

Qin Chuan stood there, like an unchanging underwater reef, unaffected by the towering waves and impending calamities outside.

His gaze was distant, seemingly piercing through the barrier of the endless sea and landing on a point outside of time and space.

Shen Gongbao hissed, his voice hoarse and broken from the urgency and injuries, carrying the despair of a dead end and the last glimmer of hope squeezed out of that despair.

"That Boundless Immortal Elder has turned black into white, using his supernatural powers to flood Chentang, slaughtering countless lives, and framing me and the Dragon Clan! Now he is relentless and intends to exterminate us all! I am weak and powerless to resist. I implore the Great God to intervene and stop this wicked plot. Otherwise, the Dragon Clan may truly be doomed today!"

He spoke rapidly, each word dripping with emotion, condensing the catastrophic disaster outside into just a few sentences. His gaze was fixed on Qin Chuan's retreating figure, awaiting the judgment of fate.

However, Qin Chuan's reaction was alarmingly calm, even indifferent.

He didn't even turn around, nor did he flutter his clothes. His gaze remained fixed on that distant, indistinct place. He spoke softly, his voice as cold as ice from a deep trench, devoid of any emotion or ripple:

"A few minor disturbances can be left to Ao Guang and the others to handle themselves."

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao was struck dumb, as if by lightning.

Handle it themselves? Ao Guang and his group? Can they defeat the Boundless Immortal?

An indescribable sense of absurdity welled up inside him, and he instinctively looked around abruptly.

This sight shocked him even more, and he could hardly believe his eyes!

In this vast underwater hell, the powerful sea monsters that had been suppressed for countless years and whose ferocity had been largely worn away have now all broken free!

Although most of them still bore the marks of weakness left by their long imprisonment and their aura had not yet fully recovered to its peak, they straightened their spines, and their demonic eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit that had been suppressed for thousands of years.

The power that was gathered together, hidden yet stirring up the turbulent undercurrents of the surrounding seawater, made even this well-informed demon immortal feel his heart pound with fear.

What horrified him even more was the Four Dragon Kings standing at the very front of all the dragons and aquatic creatures!

Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea; Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South Sea; Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea; and Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea!

Ao Guang and Ao Run's Daoist aura flowed smoothly and seamlessly, without any stagnation. Their immense dragon might was as vast as the sea and unfathomable, clearly a sign that they had stepped into the realm of Taiyi Immortal!

Although Ao Shun and Ao Qin were slightly inferior, their auras were still powerful and majestic, like dragons lurking in the abyss, and they had reached the critical point of half a step Taiyi!

This is an absolute transformation! No, it's a rebirth!

How long has it been since he last left?

The high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan have collectively broken through the ten-thousand-year bottleneck!

Recalling Qin Chuan's unfathomable methods, Shen Gongbao instantly realized that this must be the work of the mysterious being before him!

The dragon race, in such dire circumstances, was reborn silently and gained the confidence to face the storm!

Just as Shen Gongbao was overwhelmed with emotion and shocked by the dramatic changes in the Dragon Clan.

Boom!!!

A deafening roar, seemingly from the primordial era, suddenly erupted without warning!

The entire East China Sea, hundreds of millions of hectares of seawater, trembled violently at the same time!

The seabed rock groaned under the weight, and the ancient protective barrier of the Dragon Palace flickered erratically, emitting a piercing cracking sound.

An immense and terrifying pressure, imbued with the might of the heavens, descended from the sea!

This oppressive force was so powerful that it stirred up thousands of miles of waves, making the vast sea seem to be frozen and solidified by an invisible force, so heavy that it was suffocating.

Immediately afterwards, the immeasurable immortal's voice, vast and cold, containing supreme magical power, like thunder from the heavens, disregarded the barrier of the deep sea and clearly resounded throughout every corner of the underwater hell:

"The Dragon Clan of the East Sea, in collusion with the evil Shen Gongbao, stirred up storms, flooded Chentang, and slaughtered countless lives—their crimes are heinous! The evidence is irrefutable, and Heaven and Earth bear witness! Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven to eradicate your evil deeds, cleanse the world, and restore order to the universe!"

The sound was thunderous, carrying a strong sense of judgment.

As the voice spoke, through the slightly clearer reflection of the sea surface after the seawater was partially displaced, one could see the Boundless Immortal Elder leading his deer and crane attendants, along with a large number of members of the Chan Sect's demon-hunting team, standing in mid-air, surrounded by immortal light, yet exuding a chilling aura.

Among this group of immortals and gods, a short but menacing figure stood out conspicuously!

He rode on a blazing fire wheel; he held a fire-tipped spear, its cold light flashing; the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) danced wildly around him like an enraged fire dragon.

Nezha's eyes were now filled with boundless crimson hatred as he stared intently at the East Sea below, his gaze seemingly intent on burning the four seas and slaughtering all the dragons!

The tragic scene of countless familiar faces wailing and being annihilated in Chentang Pass played out repeatedly in his mind like a nightmare.

Although Ao Bing had previously rushed out at all costs to try to explain something to him, he couldn't listen to a single word in the face of that overwhelming hatred and irrefutable evidence!

Considering his past relationship with Ao Bing, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to kill him. He simply subdued him, sealed his magical powers, and handed him over to his master, Taiyi Zhenren, for safekeeping.

He himself, filled with rage, resolutely assisted the Immortal Wuliang, who upheld justice, in locking down the East Sea to prevent any demons from escaping.

"The evil dragon shall be slain!"

A glint of triumphant cunning and indifference towards all living beings flashed in the eyes of the Boundless Immortal Elder, and he no longer bothered to say anything more.

His wide sleeves suddenly unfurled!

A beam of ancient, mysterious light shot into the sky from his sleeve, initially only a foot or so, but it grew larger as it faced the wind!

In an instant, an enormous ancient cauldron, with three legs and two ears, and covered with countless profound runes and traces of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, appeared majestically in the sky above the East Sea!

The cauldron's body exhibited a chaotic, undeveloped color, emanating a terrifying aura that suppressed all realms and melted all things in the primordial world!

Its mere existence caused the spiritual energy of the heavens to surge wildly, and the vast ocean was turned upside down!

It is the Heavenly Origin Cauldron, the treasure of the Chan Sect and a legendary artifact with infinite uses!

This cauldron possessed earth-shattering divine power. As soon as it appeared, it drew upon the laws of heaven and earth on its own. With its mouth facing downwards, it aimed at the location of the East Sea Dragon Palace, emitting endless devouring and suction power and dazzling divine light capable of burning mountains, boiling seas, and refining stars!

Wherever the divine light passed, the seawater vanished silently, and space itself appeared distorted and molten.

The Boundless Immortal Elder actually intended to encompass the entire East Sea Dragon Palace, along with this underwater inferno, and all the dragons, sea monsters, and even Shen Gongbao within it, and refine them alive!

He wanted to create the illusion that there was no way to verify the truth, so that he could turn all the essence of the East Sea into resources for refining the "Heavenly Origin Pill"!

"It is the Heavenly Origin Cauldron, a supreme treasure of the Chan Sect!"

"Quick! Join forces to hold them off!"

Ao Guang, Ao Run, and the other Dragon Kings of the Four Seas instantly changed their expressions. They unleashed their newly enhanced power without reservation, and the Taiyi Immortal Light and the vast Dragon Essence of the half-step Taiyi soared into the sky, attempting to unite the remaining power of all the escaped dragons and aquatic creatures behind them to jointly resist the overwhelming divine light from the cauldron.

The golden light and dragon essence condensed into a thick light screen, but under the magnificent divine power of the Heavenly Origin Cauldron, it still appeared to be teetering on the brink of collapse, like a candle flickering in a storm.

At this critical moment, the dragon race was on the verge of collapse.

Qin Chuan, who had been standing still as if isolated from everything around him, finally made a move.

He was toying with a rusty iron rod, no more than a foot long, dark and dull, in his hand.

It was the "Sea-Stabilizing Iron Needle," weighing 13,500 jin, which Yu the Great used to measure the depth of rivers and seas during his flood control efforts.

His slender fingers gently caressed the cold iron rod, its rough texture carrying the marks of time.

A faint smile curved at the corner of his lips, as if he found it amusing.

"It wouldn't hurt to play with that monkey's iron rod beforehand and get a feel for it."

Before he finished speaking, without any apparent movement, without any earth-shattering aura or the activation of any profound and complex techniques, he simply casually flicked the dark iron rod towards the Tianyuan Cauldron that was slowly pressing down above.

"Om-!"

With that seemingly casual flick, the originally inconspicuous iron rod, the moment it left the hand, seemed to awaken a ferocious beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years, bursting out with a dazzling, intense golden light that made the sun, moon and stars pale in comparison!

A domineering and unyielding will, seemingly capable of supporting the heavens, stabilizing the earth, water, fire, and wind, and sweeping across the four seas and eight wastelands, descended fiercely!

On the staff, the seemingly rusty marks peeled away layer by layer, revealing the ancient cloud patterns and dragon and phoenix seal script engraved beneath. Each rune seemed to contain the ultimate mystery of power!

It grows rapidly with the wind, and in an instant it transforms into a colossal pillar that reaches from the surging sea to the deepest hell, as thick as an ancient mountain!

In the simplest and most direct way, they recklessly crashed into the Tianyuan Cauldron, the supreme treasure of the Chan Sect!

The next instant—

"clang!!!!!!"

A deafening roar, beyond description in any language, suddenly erupted!

Like the first chime of chaos at the beginning of creation, separating the pure from the impure!

It's like the destructive collision of two ancient giant stars in an endless sea of ​​stars!

The Iron Needle for Stabilizing the Sea and the Heavenly Origin Cauldron, both extraordinary artifacts with boundless power, collided violently on the shores of the East China Sea at this moment of impending calamity!

The dazzling golden light and the oppressive mystical light, like two ancient dragons locked in battle, clashed and intertwined wildly!

The terrifying energy shockwave formed a perfect ring, spreading wildly in all directions, instantly emptying the vast seawater and evaporating it completely, creating an enormous vacuum zone!

The underwater mountains collapsed and shattered, and the clouds in the sky dissipated and vanished!

This clash is the ultimate manifestation of power, a brutal confrontation of rules!

Its dazzling power and radiance eclipsed the sun and moon, and made the vast天地 (heaven and earth) lose their color!

The composure and hypocrisy on the face of the Boundless Immortal instantly froze and shattered, turning into unprecedented shock, horror and disbelief!

He stared intently at the suddenly appearing colossal pillar, feeling the tyrannical will emanating from it that even faintly surpassed that of the Heavenly Origin Cauldron.

Inside the Dragon Palace below, Shen Gongbao, the Four Dragon Kings, and all the dragons and aquatic creatures were so shocked by this sudden and earth-shattering scene that they lost their composure, stared in disbelief, and were utterly speechless!

Qin Chuan remained standing in the same spot, his robes fluttering slightly in the turbulent currents created by the energy collision, as if his earth-shattering attack had truly been nothing more than a casually tossed pebble.

His gaze calmly passed over the chaotic surge of energy, looking towards the very center of the collision, a depth as unfathomable as an abyss.

Chapter 9 Tacit Approval is an Attitude

"clang--!!"

The sound of the collision between the Sea-Stabilizing Needle and the Heavenly Origin Cauldron was like the collapse of an ancient divine mountain, with the aftershocks sweeping across the four seas and eight wastelands, shaking the clouds in the nine heavens and causing the seas to boil for thousands of miles.

In the air, the crane boy and deer boy standing to the left and right of the Boundless Immortal Elder turned pale instantly, their eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

"Master! What kind of divine object is that? It can actually rival the Heavenly Origin Cauldron bestowed by the Celestial Venerable?!"

Crane Boy's voice was sharp and trembling.

In her limited knowledge, apart from the magical artifacts of a few saints, there was absolutely no treasure in the Three Realms that could directly confront the treasure for guarding the palace crafted by her grandmaster, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable!

When did the East Sea Dragon Clan acquire such profound knowledge and resources?

The composure on the face of the Boundless Immortal had vanished, replaced by an offended gloom and a hint of barely perceptible surprise.
