Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

The venerable immortal stroked his beard and laughed, beaming with immense pride.

"You only realize it now? Too late! This curse is my unique secret technique. Without an antidote, they won't be able to move an inch for three hours! I originally wanted to nurture these two promising talents, but now it seems I can only throw them into the Heavenly Origin Cauldron and refine them into a peerless elixir!"

"Don't hurt my son!"

Seeing his beloved son being subdued, Ao Guang's eyes widened in fury. He roared and wielded the Xuanbing Water Blade in one hand, transforming it into a silver lightning bolt that struck towards Wuliang Immortal!

"Hmph, a fallen dragon clan, yet they dare to act arrogantly?"

The Boundless Immortal Elder ignored him and didn't even turn around. Behind him, the void writhed, and countless thick, emerald green vines surged out instantly, intertwining into a huge "Hulk" that exuded a savage aura. With one punch, he blocked Ao Guang's sure-fire strike!

Just as the Boundless Immortal was brimming with confidence and thought he had everything under control—

"Hehe, Immortal Master, how could you forget about me?"

A sudden burst of laughter rang out, and Ao Run's figure, like a ghost, stepped out from the void rift beside Nezha and Ao Bing.

With a gentle wave of her jade-like hand, the laws of the void rippled, instantly engulfing the two imprisoned individuals. The next moment, she vanished from the spot, leaving only a lingering echo.

"Bold demonic dragon! Form ranks!"

The cooked duck flew away, and the Boundless Immortal was furious, shouting sternly.

The green giant behind him, made of vines, roared deafeningly upon hearing the sound.

Its body grew wildly again, and countless thick roots, like living things, burrowed deep into the surrounding void, drawing power from the unknown space. Its branches and leaves spread and intertwined wildly, and in an instant, it transformed into a towering tree that supported the sky and the earth, exuding a vast and boundless life aura and the power to suppress all things!

The giant tree's canopy blocked out the sky, its branches meandered like dragons, and every leaf shimmered with mysterious runes.

Crane Boy and Deer Boy led all the demon-catching team disciples, landing on various branches of the giant tree. Immortal light flowed, forming a profound array that gathered all the power and continuously blessed the Boundless Immortal!

"Dragon warriors! Demons of the four seas! Follow me and kill!"

Upon seeing this, Ao Shun and Ao Qin also roared in anger.

With Ao Guang and Ao Run, two newly promoted Taiyi powerhouses, as the vanguard, they led a massive army of hundreds of millions of dragons and escaped sea monsters behind them, like a black tsunami bursting its banks, and launched a fierce attack on the towering tree!

The next moment, the two camps collided with a deafening roar!

Celestial light and demonic energy clashed fiercely, while dragon roars shook the heavens and Daoist shouts ripped through the sky!

A terrifying energy storm was instantly created and swept across the entire sky at an astonishing speed. Everything visible to the naked eye was shattered and annihilated in the most intense collision!

Space twisted and folded, light dimmed and disappeared, as if the sky had been turned into a chaotic mess. Ripples of destruction spread outwards in circles, the scene was extremely terrifying, like the end of the world!

Inside the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, Qin Chuan gazed at the earth-shattering collision in the sky, his eyes calm and indifferent.

Suddenly, Nezha and Ao Bing, who were unable to move, appeared in front of him.

"Great God! Please help me break this curse! My father and the others..."

Ao Bing felt anxious as he sensed the terrifying battle situation outside. He also understood that his aunt had specially sent them here, and that the unfathomable god before him was the only hope to turn the tide.

Qin Chuan's gaze fell on Nezha, but he did not attack immediately. Instead, he calmly said:

"The one who tied the knot must untie it. Taiyi's methods are half-baked; the physical body he has reconstructed for you is still flawed and lacks refinement. If you can ignite your own Samadhi True Fire to burn away the old body, repair the flaws, and when your physical body is perfect, this curse will be lifted. However, if you cannot withstand the pain of being burned by the True Fire, you will be shattered to pieces and your soul will be destroyed."

"Completely pulverized? Completely annihilated, soul and spirit destroyed?"

Upon hearing this, Nezha showed no fear whatsoever; instead, his eyes blazed with an even more intense and frenzied fire.

"I, Nezha, should have died under the heavenly tribulation long ago! Every extra day I live is a bonus! I don't want to... see my father! My mother! And anyone I care about! Get hurt in front of me! And I'm powerless to do anything about it!!"

He recalled the fear of his parents nearly dying, a fear that transcended life and death.

Without any further hesitation, Nezha roared and forcefully activated the Samadhi True Fire hidden deep within the Demon Orb's origin!

Intense pain instantly swept over every inch of Nezha's senses. It was a torment far worse than being cut into a thousand pieces. It felt as if his flesh and blood were being peeled away inch by inch, his bones were being crushed, and his soul was being burned by the Samadhi Fire!

His youthful face was contorted with extreme pain, and countless terrifying cracks, like shattered porcelain, appeared on his body. Demonic energy and fire burst from the cracks, as if he would completely collapse and turn to ashes at any moment!

Ao Bing gasped in shock, his eyes filled with worry.

"I control my own life!!!"

Just as Nezha's body was about to completely disintegrate, with a soul-tearing roar, his physical body finally exploded completely in the flames, turning into billions of burning streams of light!

But amidst the swirling fragments of fire, a phantom image of a demonic orb, shrouded in endless ominousness and overwhelming demonic energy, yet containing supreme power, suddenly appeared!

It trembled violently, emanating a chilling demonic power, and in turn, like a whale swallowing the sea, it forcibly devoured and merged the raging Samadhi True Fire around it!

The crimson flames and the pitch-black demonic energy intertwined and eventually reached an eerie balance, gradually receding into the distance.

As the flames died down, the child was no longer there. In his place stood a tall, imposing young man with black hair that flew wildly upwards like flames!

His entire body was covered with mysterious and magnificent flame patterns, with faint light flowing beneath his skin. His aura was vast and powerful, and his eyes were sharp as knives, piercing through the void. He had already achieved physical perfection and successfully broken through all the restrictions of the Heart-Piercing Curse!

The newly reborn Nezha, feeling the surging power within him far exceeding his former strength, immediately went to Ao Bing, grabbed his wrist, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go find that old scoundrel and settle the score!"

The perfect Samadhi True Fire flowed into Ao Bing's body through his palm, and the stubborn Heart-Piercing Curse Seal melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting the sun.

The curse was lifted, and the two looked at each other without speaking. However, the previous estrangement seemed insignificant in the face of life-or-death crisis.

The next moment, the two of them leaped up at the same time, transforming into two streaks of light, one red and one blue, and charged fiercely into the chaotic battlefield in the sky!

Chapter 11 The Three Saints Gather

The arrival of Nezha and Ao Bing was like throwing two meteorites of ice and fire into a boiling pot of oil, instantly shattering the balance of the battle!

With his physical body perfected and his body brimming with powerful flame patterns, Nezha, along with Ao Bing who had been freed from his restraints and whose spiritual pearl power was fully unleashed, and Ao Guang and Ao Run who had already broken through to the Taiyi realm, the four Taiyi Immortal-level powerhouses locked onto Wuliang Immortal Weng from four directions!

The Boundless Immortal, who had previously managed to hold his own with his profound Taoist magic, now had a drastic change in expression.

The auras of the four equally powerful individuals intertwined to form an invisible giant net, pressing down on him and causing his immortal light to sway. He was forced to retreat repeatedly, and his previous dignified and composed demeanor had vanished, leaving only a disheveled state and shock and anger.

"Ao Guang! If you now realize your mistakes and surrender to my Chan Sect, I can still guarantee you the attainment of immortality!"

The Boundless Immortal Elder stubbornly persisted, attempting to entice and divide the dragon race with benefits, completely forgetting the bloody history of the dragon race being betrayed, suppressed, and imprisoned by the Heavenly Court for countless years.

His response was Ao Guang's cold silence, followed by an even more aggressive offensive.

"Pah! So what if I'm a demon? Who cares about your damn immortal status!"

Nezha roared in anger, and his Fire-Tipped Spear stirred up winds and clouds for thousands of miles, with endless true fire burning the sky and boiling the sea.

Ao Bing also rebuked, "You call yourself a beacon of light for the world, but in reality you bully the weak, distort the truth, and create chaos in the world! How dare you, a hypocrite, talk about the righteous path?!"

The Panlong Ice Hammer drew upon the chilling energy of the Nine Netherworlds, creating a dual world of ice and fire with Nezha's blazing flames.

The two not only combined their strength, but their words were also like knives and swords, tearing apart the hypocritical mask of the Boundless Immortal.

In the next instant, the torrent of ice and fire, merging with Ao Guang's vast dragon essence and Ao Run's sky-ripping power, transformed into a destructive impact that crashed fiercely into Wuliang Immortal!

"boom--!!!"

The giant tree formation formed by the demon-catching team was instantly shattered, and countless disciples were sent flying backward with screams.

The first to be hit, the Boundless Immortal, had his protective immortal light shatter like paper, and his body trembled violently.

The Bagua Immortal Robe that symbolized his status was instantly shattered into countless fragments. One arm hung limply, trembling uncontrollably, and golden blood spilled from his mouth. If it weren't for Crane Boy and Deer Boy risking their lives to help him up, he would have fallen into the East Sea immediately, losing all face!

"Master! As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!" Crane Boy anxiously advised.

Lu Tong quickly added, "Why don't we temporarily retreat to Jade Void Palace, convene a Golden Immortal Assembly, and ask all the senior uncles to join forces to make a decision!"

The Immortal Wuliang's face turned ashen, his chest heaving violently, his rage nearly overwhelming his reason.

But looking at the four Taiyi masters eyeing him menacingly, and the billions of demons below, he knew that if he continued fighting, he would probably really perish here.

Forcibly suppressing his anger, a hint of ruthlessness and resentment flashed in his eyes. The most urgent task was to retrieve the Tianyuan Cauldron, a treasure of the Chan Sect that could not be lost!

Just as the Boundless Immortal was secretly activating his magic in an attempt to recall the Heavenly Origin Cauldron...

"Waaaaah—!!"

Suddenly, a fierce wind howled between heaven and earth, and the sky, which was already hazy due to the great battle, instantly darkened, as if an invisible hand had blocked out all the light.

An immense pressure, far exceeding the Taiyi level and surpassing even the laws of nature, roared down!

"What...what is that?!"

The crane boy and the deer boy looked up at the sky in terror.

A hand of indescribable size appeared, disregarding spatial distance and transcending dimensional boundaries. It seemed to have existed since the beginning of time, exuding an aura of indifference. It slowly reached out, its target none other than the Tianyuan Cauldron, which was suspended in the air and humming and trembling!

"The Great Luo! It's the Great Luo giant who's made his move!"

Someone screamed.

Such methods are far beyond the reach of Taiyi!

"No! My cauldron!"

The Boundless Immortal was terrified and frantically channeled his magic power, attempting to contact the Heavenly Origin Cauldron and recall it.

However, his immense magical power, when poured into the cauldron, was like a mud ox entering the sea, unable to budge the giant hand in the slightest!

The Heavenly Origin Cauldron was gently grasped by that hand, and like a toy, it slipped out of everyone's control.

The magical artifact that was connected to his mind was forcibly taken away, and Wuliang Xianweng suffered a backlash, spitting out another mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.

He took a deep breath and shouted sharply:

"Who are you! How dare you forcibly seize the most precious treasure that forms the foundation of my Chan Sect! Aren't you afraid of being punished by my master, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable?!"

He invoked the name of his sage master, attempting to intimidate this unknown Great Luo being.

In his view, even if the other party was a powerful figure, they would never dare to openly offend the extremely protective Yuanshi Tianzun!

However, the owner of the giant hand remained silent, as if he didn't care to respond at all.

Just as the Boundless Immortal was in despair, and everyone was stunned and at a loss by this sudden turn of events—

"Fellow Daoist, why do you bully the weak?"

A majestic and unparalleled voice, seemingly containing the ultimate truth of heaven and earth and the source of the order of all things, boomed from the highest heavens, beyond the thirty-three heavens!

Accompanied by the sound, a jade ruyi scepter adorned with countless golden flowers, misty purple clouds, and mysterious water ripples broke through the void and slowly descended.

It did not exude a particularly strong killing intent, but its very existence carried a supreme, rule-making saintly pressure that caused all living beings present to feel an urge to kneel down from the depths of their souls!

"Disciple greets Master!"

Immortal Wuliang felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and immediately took the lead in kneeling down, his voice filled with excitement and grievance.
