Chapter 318: The Demon Pill Descends, Anlan Makes a Move

"Quick, Ao Bing, kill them. Think of your Dragon Clan behind you; your father the Dragon King is still suffering in Purgatory at this very moment."

"People will never acknowledge your identity as a member of the Dragon Clan. You are a demon, he is a human; humans and demons walk different paths."

"The prejudices in people's hearts are like a great mountain; it is impossible for them to ever disappear."

Shen Gongbao kept gaslighting Ao Bing. Ao Bing, who lacked a mind of his own to begin with, felt killing intent surface in his eyes under the constant pressure.

"Ao Bing, don't believe his devilish lies. Shen Gongbao is only using you to achieve his own ends!"

Nezha said hurriedly, but it was already too late; Ao Bing's mind was filled entirely with the future of the Dragon Clan.

"Then let them all die!"

Ao Bing raised his twin hammers, and an endless amount of water element condensed in the sky. Those pillars of water transformed into a water curtain that covered the sky and blocked the sun, shrouding the entire Chentang Pass. In just an instant, Chentang Pass would disappear from this world forever.

"Well done!"

Shen Gongbao laughed with gratification, very satisfied with Ao Bing's resolve.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Nezha was anxious and said:

"Ao Bing, since it has come to this, I will not let you destroy Chentang Pass."

"Ha!"

With a low roar, Nezha stepped on his Wind Fire Wheels, his Fire-Tipped Spear thrusting forward like wind and thunder.

Facing this strike, Shen Gongbao did not block it for Ao Bing; he knew Ao Bing's strength and had confidence in his disciple.

Ao Bing's expression was calm, multitasking as he controlled his water-type supernatural powers while manipulating his water hammers to strike back.

Ao Bing had been training with Shen Gongbao since he was young; he was gifted, powerful, and his techniques were exquisite—far beyond what Nezha could compare to.

After only a few rounds, Nezha was thwarted and knocked back several hundred feet.

"Nezha, you cannot beat me. Do not make meaningless resistance; you must believe that this is fate," Ao Bing said.

"To hell with your bird-brained fate! You believe in fate, but I do not!"

"My fate is determined by me, not by the heavens!"

"If the heavens block me, I shall destroy the heavens! If the earth hinders me, I shall shatter the earth!" Nezha shouted loudly.

Hearing this, even Shen Gongbao could not help but be moved.

If Ao Bing had such a will, the Dragon Clan would have risen long ago.

What a pity!

"Sun and moon born together, thousand spirits heavy essence, Heaven and Earth Boundless Universe Ring, obey the command as fast as law!"

Nezha recited the incantation for the Universe Ring. This Universe Ring had always suppressed the power of the Demon Pill, but now that the incantation was voluntarily undone, the power of the Demon Pill erupted instantly!

Boom!

A massive, incomparable pillar of red baleful light shot straight into the Nine Heavens!

"The power of the Demon Pill!" Shen Gongbao's expression turned grave.

That tangible baleful energy transformed into flames that wrapped around Nezha's body. As the power of the Demon Pill surged in, Nezha's body instantly transformed from a child into a young man.

Ah!

With a roar, the young Nezha bathed in the flames of the Demon Pill's baleful energy, holding the Fire-Tipped Spear in one hand and stepping on the Wind Fire Wheels, looking divine and extraordinary.

Nezha opened his eyes, flames overflowing from them, and said word by word:

"What of gods, what of demons! My fate is in my own hands. Ao Bing, now let me show you how I defy the heavens and change my fate!"

"How is this possible? How do you still have your sanity?"

Shen Gongbao said, losing his voice, his face full of disbelief.

One must know that the Demon Pill belongs to the negative power of the Hunyuan Pearl, having Devoured who knows how much of the world's baleful energy.

Once this power erupts, the host should immediately turn into a killing machine, causing endless destruction and ruin.

"Power has no good or evil; people are the masters of power!"

After finishing, Nezha attacked again. With the bonus of the Demon Pill's power, Ao Bing's pressure increased exponentially.

Below, seeing Nezha control the power of the Demon Pill, Li Jing and his wife were in tears; their Zha'er had truly grown up.

"Nezha, you really have made your master feel very surprised," Taiyi Zhenren said.

Nezha had actually relied on his own strength to overcome the baleful energy of the Demon Pill and make it his own.

"Wow, Nezha grew up all of a sudden, and he's quite a handsome young man too," Wang Wu said.

"Wang Wu, what on earth is in your head? This isn't 'handsome,' he's clearly a 'spirited youth'," Morgana said.

"So powerful," Bibi Dong said.

She felt that her own three God Positions were too fragile in the face of such power.

"Tsk tsk, 'My fate is determined by me, not by the heavens.' Well done, Nezha," Ye Fan said.

"But can Nezha win? Holy Monk Xuanzang," Yan Fei asked.

"He can," Xuanzang said.

"After all, the normal ending is always justice defeating evil," Anlan said faintly.

During their conversation, Nezha and Ao Bing fought for dozens of rounds. Seeing that he could not take down Nezha, Ao Bing manifested his true form, the True Dragon body.

Although the True Dragon body was powerful, Ao Bing was ultimately defeated, with Nezha's spear pressed against the center of his brow.

Ao Bing stared blankly at Nezha and asked, "Why didn't you kill me?"

"Because you are my friend," Nezha said.

Hearing this, Ao Bing transformed back into his human form, looking somewhat dejected and lost in confusion.

"Ao Bing, don't just stand there, strike back! Nezha is already exhausted."

Shen Gongbao once again gaslit the Dragon Prince, unleashing his silver tongue.

But this time, Ao Bing ignored Shen Gongbao and said, "Master, I will save the Dragon Clan in my own way."

Shen Gongbao wanted to continue speaking, but then heard a shout of "Mount Tai Press"!

Taiyi Zhenren descended from the sky and pinned Shen Gongbao underneath him in one go.

"Shen Gongbao, I knew it was you playing tricks," Taiyi Zhenren said.

"Get off, get off, get off, you fatso."

Shen Gongbao channeled his magic power to blast Taiyi Zhenren away; that slam just now had nearly broken his leopard waist.

"Hey, you dare to fight back against me?"

Taiyi Zhenren rubbed his belly.

Boom!

Suddenly, the phenomena of heaven and earth changed again; black clouds pressed down, and a heart-palpitating aura descended from the depths of the firmament.

Taiyi Zhenren's expression darkened as he said:

"The time has come; the Heavenly Tribulation Curse is here."

"The Heavenly Tribulation Curse has descended! Hahaha, the Demon Pill is sure to die," Shen Gongbao said with a triumphant smile.

"Damn it, Shen Gongbao, shut your mouth, you jinx," Taiyi Zhenren said angrily.

"Nezha, you!" Ao Bing started to speak but stopped.

"It's fine; I've lived for three years anyway, which is enough, and I still have you and everyone else," Nezha said with a dashing smile.

The Thunder Tribulation on the firmament grew increasingly dense; looking up, thick webs of lightning covered a radius of several thousand miles, and black clouds swirled into a vortex, condensing into a massive Qilin head and a True Dragon head, with Thunder capable of obliterating an Immortal gestating in their mouths.

Upon hearing this, Ao Bing's face showed a look of determination as he said:

"Since we are friends, we shall share both blessings and hardships."

"I will withstand it with you."

"Ao Bing, what are you saying? Do you not want the future of the Dragon Clan anymore!" Shen Gongbao shouted.

"Master, if I cannot even save a friend, how can I save the future of the Dragon Clan?" Ao Bing replied.

"Stupid!"

"Under the Heavenly Tribulation Curse, there is no chance of survival, hmph."

Leaving behind these words, Shen Gongbao flew away directly, no longer caring about Ao Bing.

Taiyi Zhenren, however, said:

"Child, your master will help you; even if it means cutting away my Three Flowers and losing several hundred years of Taoism, your master will save your life."

Upon hearing this, Nezha said:

"Ao Bing, although Shen Gonggong is pitiful, you have seen it too; this is the difference between Master Taiyi and Shen Gonggong."

Hearing this, Ao Bing fell silent.

At the same time, Xuanzang, Wang Wu, Anlan, and Ye Fan flew up into the firmament.

"Nezha, don't be afraid. With Xuan Ge here, this Heavenly Tribulation Curse is not much of a problem," Ye Fan said.

"If this is the Heavenly Tribulation Curse, it is indeed not a problem," Xuanzang said.

Anlan said, "This Heavenly Tribulation is too weak; the Thunder Tribulation I encountered when I advanced to Immortal King back then was much more formidable than this."

"Hey, hey, hey, can you people show some respect for the Heavenly Tribulation Curse?"

Hearing these people speak so recklessly, Taiyi Zhenren could not help but say.

"Break!"

Anlan extended a finger, and the great power of an Immortal King surged, a light of the Undying blooming and illuminating the firmament.

In an instant, the sky full of Thunder Tribulation vanished into ashes.

"??" Taiyi Zhenren.
