Chapter 26 Nezha Conquers the Dragon King!
The sun was blazing, and the blazing sun hung high in the sky.
On the shore of the East China Sea, along the Jiuwan River.
A wide river, like a jade belt, meanders out from Chentang Pass and eventually flows into the vast East China Sea.
It is located ten miles outside the Jiuwan River.
"Everyone, get yourselves together and don't let a single fly get away."
Chu Tianhe, a general of the Shang Dynasty, rode on a red-haired warhorse. The dented gold chainmail he wore had been replaced with a brand-new heavy armor made of black iron.
He was commanding his three thousand elite troops with great enthusiasm, completely sealing off the outer perimeter of the Nine Bends River.
Although he had recently been knocked to his knees by a seven-year-old child, Chu Tianhe, through his "self-guided strategy," was now convinced that it was a true immortal from the Jie Sect testing his Dao heart.
At this moment, all he could think about was how to make a good impression on this "Immortal of the Abyss" in order to be granted even a tiny bit of the true secrets of immortal cultivation.
"As long as I can latch onto the coattails of a powerful figure from the Jie Sect, I can definitely roam freely in this SSS+ level secret realm."
Chu Tianhe felt a surge of excitement.
……
At the mouth of the Jiuwan River.
Lin Yuan, dressed in a long black robe that concealed the ethereal aura emanating from him, sat upright in the dense canopy of a towering ancient tree.
On the riverbank.
Nezha, barefoot, casually stuck the Fire-Tipped Spear into the sand.
"Uncle Yuan said this place can regulate the internal heat in my body. On this hot day, it's perfect for a refreshing bath."
The little guy cheered, quickly stripped himself naked except for a bright red bib, and jumped into the Jiuwan River with a splash.
Rippling water, the cool river water enveloped Nezha.
But he wasn't satisfied, so he casually untied the seven-foot-long "Heavenly Silk" and washed it haphazardly in the river.
It's fine if you don't wash it, but once you do, the world will collapse!
The Hun Tian Ling is an innate spiritual treasure bestowed by the Taiyi Zhenren, containing terrifying power that can overturn rivers and seas.
A flash of red light suddenly rippled across the water, and the once calm Jiuwan River instantly boiled.
"Boom!"
The red light followed the water veins of the Jiuwan River, like a raging crimson dragon, rushing straight to the seabed of the East China Sea.
……
East China Sea, Crystal Palace.
The old Dragon King Ao Guang sat on his dragon throne, his brow furrowed as he pondered the prophecy left by the "Taoist Abyss" a few days earlier, his heart filled with fear of the "Great Calamity".
suddenly!
The entire Crystal Palace shook violently, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the huge white jade pillars, causing the luminous pearls embedded in the dome to fall down like rain.
"Oh dear, what's going on? Has the earth dragon turned over?!"
Ao Guang was so frightened that he rolled off the dragon throne, and the purple-gold crown on his head tilted to the side.
"Report—"
The sea patrol yaksha Li Gen scrambled into the main hall, his face filled with terror.
"Reporting to the Dragon King, for some unknown reason, a terrifying, heaven-reaching divine power suddenly arose from the sea, shaking our Crystal Palace to the point of collapse."
Ao Guang was furious.
A few days ago, a great immortal from the Jie Sect came and scared him half to death, and now this again?
Do they really think Donghai is a pushover that anyone can bully?!
"Li Gen, go and investigate! Find out which foolish monster dares to provoke the Dragon Palace of the East Sea!"
"Understood."
Li Gen picked up the black iron fork, parted the water and broke through the waves, rushing straight to the sea surface.
……
Along the Jiuwan River.
"Splash—"
A column of water shot into the sky.
Li Gen, a blue-faced, fanged yaksha, emerged from the waves.
As soon as he surfaced, he saw a seven or eight-year-old child stirring up a piece of red cloth in the water. The red light emanating from the stirring was the very culprit that had wreaked havoc on the Dragon Palace.
"You little beast."
Li Gen was furious. He raised the gleaming black iron fork in his hand and pointed it at Nezha, shouting angrily.
"What kind of bastard dares to bathe such evil things here, disturbing my East Sea Dragon Palace?!"
Nezha was happily taking a bath when he was suddenly scolded harshly, and his little tyrant temper flared up instantly.
He stopped what he was doing, looked up at the ugly monster, and curled his lip.
"Who do you think you are, daring to insult me?"
"I am Li Nezha, the third son of Li Jing, the general of Chen Tang Pass! What business is it of yours if I'm taking a bath here?"
"So he's Li Jing's son!"
Li Gen was so angry that he laughed. He was, after all, a righteous god appointed by the Heavenly Court. How dare the son of a mortal general talk back to him?
"You mere mortal dare to be so arrogant? Today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your father."
Before he finished speaking, Li Gen leaped into the air, his steel fork whipping up a waterspout that slashed straight at Nezha's face.
The powerful magic of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator tore through the air, emitting a piercing whistle.
Nezha didn't even flinch; his eyes were chillingly cold.
"court death!"
With a flick of his wrist, the ancient, golden Qiankun Ring was already in his hand.
"go!"
A casual toss.
"Buzz—"
The Universe Ring transformed into a golden lightning bolt, tearing through the void and crashing down with the immense energy of the beginning of creation.
"What?! A primordial spiritual treasure?!"
Li Gen was completely dumbfounded.
But he didn't even have time to beg for mercy.
"Bang!"
The Qiankun Ring slammed solidly into Li Gen's crown. The mighty Nascent Soul Realm Sea Patrol Yaksha didn't even utter a scream before his head exploded like a rotten watermelon.
Red and white things were scattered all over the river surface.
The headless corpse slammed into the water with a "plop," completely dead.
"Is that all you've got? You dare mess with me?"
Nezha recalled the Universe Ring, gave a disdainful snort, and continued to scrub the Universe Ribbon.
……
From atop the ancient tree, Lin Yuan took in all of this.
"Let's begin."
"Nezha's murderous nature is indeed well-deserved."
He lay dormant, the "Great Heavenly Demon Technique" within his body poised to be unleashed.
When Li Gen died, a wisp of his soul escaped back to the Dragon Palace using a secret technique. Next up is the real big fish!
as predicted.
It only takes the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"Boom!"
The clear sky above Jiuwan River, which was originally cloudless, was instantly covered by dark clouds.
A fierce wind blew, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
The water level of the Jiuwan River rose rapidly at a visible speed, with rows of towering waves dozens of meters high rushing in like a thousand troops.
At the crest of the wave.
A gigantic, azure-eyed, golden-eyed beast burst forth from the waves.
A valiant young man wearing silver dragon scale armor and wielding a halberd sat astride his back.
The young man had a frosty face, his eyes filled with icy killing intent, and he was surrounded by pure dragon aura.
It was none other than Ao Bing, the third prince of the East Sea Dragon King!
Behind Ao Bing followed hundreds and thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, their banners obscuring the sky and their demonic aura soaring to the heavens.
"Who killed my East China Sea Patrol Yaksha?!"
Ao Bing roared, his voice like a dragon's cry, causing rocks to tumble down from both sides of the mountain.
Nezha, carrying the Universe Ring, stood barefoot on the water, looking up at Ao Bing high above him. Instead of showing any fear, he grinned.
"I killed him, so what?"
"That ugly bastard was spouting insults, so I just smashed him to death with a few blows. Who do you think you are, trying to stand up for him?"
"Arrogant brat!"
Ao Bing trembled with rage, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"I am Ao Bing, the third prince of the Dragon King of the East Sea! You mortal ant, you dared to kill a righteous god of Heaven! Today I will tear you apart, skin you alive, and cast you into the deepest hell!"
"Cranials and skinning?"
Nezha continued to sneer.
"Alright, I was just worried about not having a good belt to tie this bodice. Since you're a slippery eel, take out your tendons and use them as my belt."
These words enraged the dragons.
"Kill him!"
Ao Bing could no longer contain himself. He swung his halberd, and his Azure-Eyed Beast roared as it charged down the waves.
The True Dragon's power at the early stage of the Returning to Emptiness Realm erupted suddenly, and a ferocious water dragon phantom wrapped around the halberd, aiming straight for Nezha's throat.
"Good timing."
Nezha laughed loudly and advanced instead of retreating.
"boom!"
He opened his mouth and spat out the primordial pure yang fire that had been suppressed within his body for so long, instantly vaporizing the illusory water dragon.
Immediately afterwards, Nezha flicked his right hand.
"Use the Heavenly Ribbon to bind me!"
The seven-foot-long red ribbon, like a serpent, ignored Ao Bing's True Dragon Qi and bound him and his halberd together like a giant dumpling.
Ao Bing was terrified and struggled desperately, only to find that the red ribbon tightened more and more, making his dragon bones crack.
"What kind of sorcery is this?!" Ao Bing roared in despair.
"This is divine magic, young master."
Nezha leaped forward and landed directly on Ao Bing's chest.
With his left hand raised high, he aimed the Universe Ring at Ao Bing's forehead and slammed it down hard!
"Bang."
Dragon Blood Frenzy!
Ao Bing screamed in agony as he was forced back into his original form, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long silver dragon that crashed onto the riverbank, creating a huge crater.
Silver Dragon lay dying in a pool of blood.
Nezha stood on the giant dragon's head, casually tossed aside the Qiankun Ring, and gripped the scales on the dragon's back with both hands.
"If I say I'll pull your tendons out, I'll pull your tendons out."
"Sizzle—"
A crystal-clear silver dragon tendon was forcibly pulled out of Ao Bing's spine by Nezha.
Blood gushed out like a waterfall.
Ao Bing let out a mournful dragon roar, his dragon body convulsed violently a few times, and then he was completely lifeless.
The Dragon King's third son has fallen!
