After millennia of nurturing, the spiritual energies of heaven and eart
produced the chaos Pearl.
It gluttonously siphoned the essence of the sun and the moon
and its power continued to grow.
But the energy it absorbed varied too greatly.
Its immortal and demon energies blended together,
blurring the line between good and evil.
My master sent me and a fellow disciple
to subdue it.
Yes, that's me,
the revered taiyi zhenren.
I may have a bit of baby fat,
but that doesn't hide my stunning handsomeness.
Chaos Pearl.
You can never escape, even if you have wings.
No, don't scare it.
Good Pearl, come to me.
You'll die now!
You're absorbing my energy?
Blasted child, how dare you ruin my handsome face?
Hit me with your best shot. Come on!
Not the face, okay?
- Master! - Master!
I have refined this chaos Pearl
into the spirit Pearl and demon pill.
The demon pill's primordial spirit is indestructible.
I have cast a curse of heavenly tribulation
that will destroy the demon pill three years from now
in a rain of lightning.
You will need to watch over it before that time comes.
Li jing has been chosen by heaven.
The spirit Pearl will be reincarnated as his third son.
I appoint this task...
To you.
I have found 11 of my 12 golden immortals of kunlun.
If you can nurture the spirit Pearl to greatness,
the last spot...
- Will be yours. - Thank you, master!
Thank you, master!
Once the spirit Pearl is born,
he shall be named
nezha.
These festive occasions are such a deligh
here, have a drink with me.
No need.
Be careful.
My lady, you should worship as well.
Worship? I've done so for three years.
If the baby doesn't come out, I'll smash this temple to bits!
I hail from the cave of golden light on mount qianyuan.
I am taiyi...
Zhenren.
W ait for me!
- Hurry! - Hurry!
- We won't make it. - Hurry.
Ll residence
I'm sure it'll be a son, lord li!
Chamberlain li, I'm here to be the boy's matchmaker.
We have composed a new tune called "the spirit Pearl comes".
Thank you.
Thank you for your concern, friends.
Everyone, please remain calm and quiet.
Please wait for the good news.
Wait for the good news!
This pain is unbearable!
The time draws near.
Master immortal, I heard that you liked to drink.
This isn't the time! I can't drink right now!
I'll just leave it here.
I don't have time for that. Take it away.
Unbelievable.
Well, I'll just take a tiny sip!
It shouldn't go to waste after all.
Good stuff.
There's no point in leaving a few drops.
Bottoms up!
There are enough drugs in that to make you sleep for three days.
Curses! The supreme lord has cast a spell,
so only taiyi can touch it.
My lord, is the immortal casting the spell yet?
Master immortal, is it time yet?
What's wrong?
The immortal is drunk. I'm trying to wake him up.
Drunk?
I just have to force the liquor out.
How can you do that?
This goes against all rules of etiquette.
My lord, the lady can't hold on much longer.
Let me try.
Wake up!
Take this!
I think I just had a nightmare.
Master immortal, open the lotus flower.
Yes! I'll do that right away.
Open
What are you waiting for?
I can't remember the password.
That liquor was too strong. I can't think clearly.
I think it was...
Don't worry, I have four more tries.
This can't be.
What if the fifth try is wrong as well?
The lotus will lock itself
and we will have to try again in ten years.
My lord, the lady has fainted!
- Let me try again! - Master immortal!
No, damn fatty!
I remember now.
I can use my fingerprint as verification if I forget the password.
Half off for the tavern's grand opening!
I thought you were acting strange.
It's a puppet talisman!
She's being controlled too!
You want it so badly?
Then I'll give you one back.
Stop!
Crap.
My lord, look!
What...
How terrifying!
I got you!
You're not going anywhere...
Stop!
He's getting away!
Power of the cosmos, weight of a thousand souls,
boundless span of the earth, qiankun hoop, obey my command!
Hold!
He has become a demon!
There's no saving him!
Master immortal!
This is a reincarnation of the demon pill.
The qiankun hoop is suppressing his demonic nature.
If he were to turn fully demonic,
there will be a bloodbath and many lives will be destroyed!
Enough of this savagery!
No!
My lady!
Don't hurt my child!
This...
Lord li!
Chentang pass has stood against demons for generations.
The people in this village won't tolerate a demon in their midst.
As the matter stands,
I hope that you can consider the greater good
and lead by example for the military and people.
Wrong direction.
Congratulations on your newborn baby
my deepest condolences
look!
Don't be scared. Mother's here.
Master immortal. Everyone.
My family is unfortunate to have such a son,
but the child is innocent.
He is a victim too.
I find it hard to kill so mercilessly.
I will teach nezha carefully
and won't allow him to set foot outside our home.
If he causes any trouble, I will ensure justice for you,
even if it means forfeiting my life.
Even if he is spared now, he won't live more than three years.
The supreme lord has casted a heavenly curse on the demon pill.
On this day three years from now,
lightning will descend from the skies to take his life.
I cannot undo the curse.
Then I will ask the supreme lord to lift the curse.
Don't worry. As long as I'm here, our child will be safe.
The dragon palace
You're here.
Is that the spirit Pearl?
If it is infused into my egg,
will my son have unparalleled powers
and a chance to ascend to heaven as a deity?
You're...
Wrong?
You're right!
Good.
This is my son, ao bing.
As per our agreement,
you will be his master,
but you must help him escape this underwater purgatory
and ascend to heaven.
I will die...
You'll die?
I will die trying!
I'll prove that I'm the best candidate for the 12 golden immortals.
Just nod next time.
This is the void portal.
My master is beyond the three realms
and can only be found through this portal.
Supreme lord, your disciple, taiyi seeks an audience.
Taiyi, do you know what you have done wrong?
Yes, I know I was wrong.
But if it wasn't for a demon trying to steal...
No excuses!
How many years has it been since your last visit?
I was bored to death!
I knew it was you!
This is Chang shengyun, the one that carries the void portal.
We all call it little cloud.
Fatty, what did you call me?
Who is this?
Shut up! Call me taiyi zhenren.
This is commander li jing of chentang pass.
Pleased to meet you.
With your company, I will be lonely no more!
Come! Have some tea.
Carrying this gate day after day is no easy feat!
I haven't spoken to anyone in decades.
I'm going mad!
We seek an audience with the supreme lord.
Please inform him of our arrival.
Well, you're out of luck.
He has entered the void portal
with the lord of lingbao and the lord of daode.
They're compiling the investiture of the gods or something
why do you need to see the supreme lord? Tell me!
I want to ask for the removal of a curse of heavenly tribulation.
Curse of heavenly tribulation?
Seeing the supreme lord won't help.
This curse is unbreakable.
One day in heaven is one year on earth.
Much time has passed in chentang pass
in the time we have lingered here.
We should hurry back
and see if there's anything we can do for the child.
Locked in this place with nothing to do,
I've smashed these urns, and so high I've flown.
Thousands of times, there's nothing new.
Boy, am I weary of it too.
Nezha, what are you doing up on the wall?
I can't go outside and nobody will play with me.
What else can I do besides look at the scenery?
Then tell me what you see.
Mountains, trees, flowers, and grass.
What did you expect, a streaker?
You're always joking.
Why don't I play with you?
Oh, come on.
You're always off killing monsters and banishing demons.
I'm lucky just to be able to see you today.
You wouldn't have time to play with a kid like me.
Yes, that was wrong of me.
I want to spend more time with you,
but I am responsible for protecting the fortress.
I can't be in two places at once.
But the world is at peace today!
Why don't we kick this shuttlecock around?
Since you're so bored, I guess I can play with you.
Here, son!
My lady, perhaps you should put your armor on.
You must be joking!
Wear armor while playing with my son?
Nobody dies from kicking a shuttlecock!
Catch this, mother!
All right!
Are you okay, mother?
I'm fine!
Good kick!
Give me my armor.
I'll hold back next time.
No, give it your all!
Why don't you join in?
You should rest, my lady.
No need.
I'm fine.
Look at how much fun nezha is having.
I haven't seen him so happy in a long time.
- But we can't take it anymore. - But we can't take it anymore.
Report!
An eel spirit appeared in a fishing village
and has injured dozens.
We request reinforcement.
Catch, mother!
Son, I think we'll have to stop playing now.
I promise you.
Next time, I'll play with you for as long as you want.
All right?
That's what you say every time.
I got used to it a long time ago.
I'll cook something delicious when I come home tonight.
You two.
Master immortal taiyi brought you here to guard the barrier,
not for you to be mascots.
Don't let nezha out to cause trouble again.
Don't worry, my lady. I guard the Southern boundary.
Nezha must have escaped from the northern boundary.
Bullshit!
I had the northern side closely guarded.
If he got out, it could only have been from the south.
So you're saying I did it.
Once taiyi zhenren returns, I'll tell him you blamed your negligence on me!
All you know is to tattle.
I can't stand you! Fight me if you dare!
Fine! I'm not scared of you!
- Come on! - Come on!
- You two.
- Come on! - You two!
Come on!
What are you looking at?
You son of a...
Body slam!
Dragon whip!
Scouring the sea!
Immortal picking grapes!
One...
Two...
He's out again!
Three...
Four...
Five...
Six...
Seven...
Eight...
Nine...
Ten.
Are you done hiding?
I've had enough. We need to fight back!
But we can't beat nezha.
Bullshit!
Master taiyi brought you here to guard the barrier,
nobody's going home until we figure out a way!
I have an idea!
I told you to keep watch outside. Why did you come in?
We can set some traps.
Set traps?
Look!
I sawed the planks on the bridge.
Nezha will fall through when he crosses it.
His fall will trigger a second trap
and a bucket overhead will spill.
He will try to shield himself with a wok lying nearby,
but he'll never expect it to also be a trap.
He will be running for his life
when he spots a cranny at the side and slips right in without a thought.
Then...
I placed a venomous snake on the tree.
He'll climb the nearby rope ladder,
but he won't know that the ladder is tied to a hornet's nest.
If he doesn't want to be stung,
he'll have to dive into this mud pit.
When he crawls out,
he'll be scared out of his wits and have steam coming out of his ears!
I never noticed how clever you were.
How else could I be of help to someone as handsome as you?
I love hearing the truth.
But this isn't harsh enough for nezha.
Let's add things to the mud pit.
Throw in some sea urchins to prick him to death.
And add some pee for nourishment.
Maybe that's a little too mean.
Mean? He always beats us up.
If there's a chance to mess him up, we shouldn't hold back!
- That's right! - Mess him up!
All right, if you insist, I won't object.
Hold on. There's a problem with the plan.
What problem?
How can we get nezha to cross the bridge?
That's easy!
Just scare him onto the bridge.
How?
Like this!
Isn't that pee nourishing?
Don't you feel refreshed?
Achou!
He knocked me unconscious and stole my clothes!
Today was really fun.
I'll be back to play again.
You demon!
Diel
what did you just call me?
- You are a demon! - No!
Nezhal
that's enough of your impertinence!
- Boundary beasts! - We're here!
Tighten the barrier boundaries.
Nezha isn't allowed to set foot outside this room.
- Yes, my lord! - Yes, my lord!
Say no more.
We knew this was a possibility.
We've done all we can.
Perhaps this is nezha's fate.
I forbade everyone in chentang pass from mentioning the word "demon,"
but the people will always be wary of nezha.
Every day, I'm busy banishing demons and assuring the people
in hopes of gaining virtue on nezha's behalf.
That has cost me time with him.
Nezha only has two more years left.
We should resign from our posts and leave this place
to travel the world and spend our days with him...
Until the very end.
I am also partially responsible for nezha.
I've decided to make him my disciple and train him
to change the wicked nature of the demon pill
and become a true warrior of justice that banishes demons.
But...
Is it really necessary to do all that?
Wouldn't it be better to let him be happy in his final days?
I don't want him to spend his whole life not realizing his potential.
You don't want nezha to be remembered as a demon, do you?
Young master, time for breakfast!
This is bad! The young master is gone!
- What? He escaped again? - What? He escaped again?
Inconceivable.
It defies all reason.
Report this to lord li!
- Right away! - Right away!
There isn't a person alive
who can keep me locked up.
This is the world inside the painting of mountains and rivers.
- Is that you, fatty? - Quiet!
Call me master.
Let me show you something neat.
With a stroke of this landscape brush,
you can change whatever you want in the painting!
What are you playing at?
Experience this retention program that I meticulously designed,
roaming through paradise!
Allow me to expand your horizons!
Isn't this fun?
From this day forth,
I will teach you kunlun's immortal techniques here.
Aren't you going to call me your master?
Master?
What do you know?
Fine, I'll have to put you in your place.
By the magic of the infinite universe, hear my command!
Transform!
This immortal technique is called the disguising spell.
Do you want to learn it?
That's not bad.
Can you make me look more fearsome?
Disguising a living creature? That's an advanced spell.
Even I can't do it.
You should learn the basics first.
Come, I will teach you.
That's simple. Teach me something else.
The disguising spell is the most basic of the basics.
If you can't master that, don't bother trying anything else.
Fine, it'll only take me a minute to master.
Hear my command! Transform!
Transform!
The disguising spell is far from basic.
It took me six months to grasp. It's an advanced spell.
Take your time practicing.
An immortal prepares
Master?
What are you doing here, lady yin?
I'm here to check on nezha.
I'm teaching him immortal techniques.
Where is he?
Over there.
Where did he go?
Master, what is that?
What happened, child?
My son, what happened?
What is this?
I didn't do that! I absolutely didn't!
What's wrong with him?
Yes, he still has a pulse.
Crap, it's venomous!
Little punk, it was you!
How did you master the disguising spell?
I practiced and got the knack of it.
Good lord, he mastered it in one day?
He must be a genius.
Can you tell me the trick?
Teach me more immortal techniques and I'll tell you.
All right, you have a deal!
Your element is fire,
so I will teach you the fire control magic.
Three solid for qian, three broken for kun
li for fire, imbued with the three,
hear my command!
Are you commanding fire or your farts?
My tongue won't listen to me. I can't say the spell properly.
Luckily, I have a detoxification pill in my pants.
Child, I can't reach it.
Can you get it for me?
No problem.
You have so many treasures stashed here!
What is this thing that looks like a mop?
That is my fly whisk.
What about this shiny golden thing?
That's the fire-tipped spear.
Fire-tipped spear?
Be careful, don't touch the switch.
This switch?
It burns!
- Goodness! - Nezhal
are you causing trouble again?
Master, are you all right?
I'm an immortal. That can't hurt me.
Nezha, do you still refuse to call me your master?
I'll teach you immortal techniques
so you can slay monsters, banish demons,
and improve the lives of the people!
What? Slay monsters, banish demons, and improve the lives of the people?
To hell with that! I don't want to learn anything.
Where's the exit?
If you wish to leave this painting,
you will have to use this landscape brush.
I get it now.
You want to imprison me in this painting, is that it?
Nonsense!
How can this paradise be called a prison?
This is focused training behind closed doors.
If I train, I'll have to kiss up to those stinking idiots.
I would be better off napping here.
Nezha.
You can't fool me.
Actually, you want to be accepted by others, don't you?
But you have suffered because of their prejudice against you.
That's why you hate them.
That's not it!
Young master!
How did he escape again?
Young master!
Do you want to play?
Nezhal
wasn't he locked in his house?
Why did they let him out?
Run!
Go to hell, demon! Leave chentang pass!
- Die, demon! - Die!
- Get out of here! - Demon!
- Monster! - Leave us!
There, there.
Don't despair.
Once you have completed your training,
you can slay monsters and banish demons with me and your father
and get rid of evil for the people.
Slay monsters for the people?
In their dreams!
Since they think of me as a demon,
then I'll show them what a real demon looks like!
Nezha, you...
Looks like I'll have to tell you today.
Do you know why everyone is afraid of you?
Your true identity...
Is actually...
The spirit Pearl reincarnate?
Yes, the spirit Pearl reincarnate!
That's why you were born with divine strength
and people think you're different.
Are you lying to me?
Think about it!
Your father and I are both humans.
How could we give birth to a demon?
Then why haven't you told everyone that I'm the spirit Pearl reincarnate?
The spirit Pearl is a secret weapon
the supreme lord sent down to the mortals.
In the future, you will have the duty of exacting justice on heaven's behalf.
Heaven's secrets must not be revealed.
Spirit Pearl?
All humans feel sympathy.
If you treat the people like your own family
and use your power to banish demons for them,
would they treat you like a demon?
Two years later
No one can take my beatings.
Impulsive, too impulsive!
Show him.
Look over here!
I want meat!
Over here!
Now over here!
Look at you.
You harmed so many innocent civilians just to destroy a skeleton demon.
They aren't real people anyway.
What's with all the fuss?
From the training sessions, it is clear
that you are too ruthless, flippant, and quick to anger.
Master, take away his red armillary sash and fire-tipped spear.
Before he learns to control his emotions,
he can't be permitted to use such powerful weapons.
Like I care! You can have them back.
I've learned all your immortal techniques.
Now I can go and slay monsters, right?
No.
From this day forth, you are to meditate with your master
and learn how to calm and cultivate your mind.
What?
You wanted me to learn how to slay monsters!
I know how now!
Why won't you let me out?
You aren't getting out without my approval.
I have feet. Who can stop me?
- My brush! - Nezhal
I'll change how everyone sees me.
You'll see!
I'm sick of seafood.
Sometimes, you have to switch it up for a balanced diet.
Demon, let go of that dog!
- Where did this little brat come from? - Let's cut to the chase!
Don't you run!
Come out!
Get out here!
- What's going on? - What's happening?
Nezhal
hold on!
Stand there with your eyes wide open!
Come out! Come out now!
You're still hiding?
Fire control magic!
Fire!
Nezha has gone mad!
Where are you running to?
Girl, catch this.
Nezha kidnapped her!
Nobody can catch me in the seal!
I've frozen the sea half a mile out.
You can't escape.
Demon, let that girl go.
Who are you?
Stay back, child. I'll save your sister.
Screw you!
Aren't you going to surrender?
Feeling regretful yet?
I saw this demon first! Get in line!
Little rascal, what are you doing?
Stand aside. I'll deal with you once I'm done with him.
Where did you come from, little punk?
No one can be cooler than me when I'm around.
Demon!
Let the girl go!
Looks like you're no ordinary child.
Try again.
Let go!
I said, let go!
You have horns?
What is this?
What's happening?
Look around you.
Thank you for giving me time to unleash my full potential.
Didn't you want to play the hero?
Weren't you going to slay me?
I'll eat her right now!
Damn you!
Fight me 800 times if you dare!
You're done for.
It's my saliva that makes those bubbles.
Naturally, it will petrify you too.
Maybe you shouldn't be so nosy in your next life!
Come if you dare!
Spare me, young warrior!
I'll give you the antidote!
Antidote?
Don't worry, this will be enough.
It tastes like garlic!
I'm better already.
What about them? They can't open their mouths.
It works the same, taken internally or applied externally.
What?
Why didn't you say so earlier?
You didn't ask.
It doesn't need to go on too thick.
Right, spread it evenly.
Massage gently and pat in for faster absorption.
It even makes the skin smooth and supple.
W ait.
Please spare me!
I came to shore just to take a dog.
I didn't eat a single person.
You've given up the antidote, so I won't hurt you.
But if you ever do harm in the future,
I won't spare you again.
I won't.
Hey, little rascal.
What? Do you want to fight again?
- You're no match for me. - What?
I'm no match for you?
Come, then. Let's go again.
Thank you for saving my life.
And thank you for saving this girl.
I know kindness from hatred.
I will repay the kindness you showed me today.
It was nothing.
I was just following the will of heaven.
I'm the best at slaying monsters.
Aren't you afraid of me?
You beat up that demon.
What's wrong?
Nothing. I just got eyes in my sand.
You mean you've got sand in your eye.
Let me see. I'll blow it out for you.
This is so embarrassing!
Fine, I admit it.
This is the first time anyone has played with me
besides my mother.
So I got emotional! Go ahead, laugh.
We're friends now.
If you want to play, just come to the beach to find me.
When I hear the sound of this conch, I will come from wherever I am.
Right, my name is ao bing. What's your name?
My name is nezha.
Someone's coming.
What?
Nezha was the one who kidnapped my sister!
Girl!
- Girl, are you all right? - My girl.
He hit and hit and hit
and the demon went boom!
Nezha, why did you kidnap my sister?
Nonsense!
If I hadn't defeated the demon, she would've been eaten.
Where is the demon?
Did you see it?
Are you insulting our intelligence?
- Yes! - We'll tell commander li
- and see what he thinks! - You won't get away with this!
You should be locked up so you can't do any more evil!
Fine.
Run back home, demon!
You want to say that again?
Achou!
The demon is attacking!
We'll kill you, demon!
Your master is here.
Do not hurt others.
That hurts!
Nezhal
lord li!
Nezha burned down the village,
kidnapped a child, and beat up the villagers.
You must be the judge for us!
Bullshit! I'll teach you to spout lies!
Nezha, no!
Lord li, you have to lock him up.
You can't let him out again.
Have him locked up until the day he dies!
- That's right! - Lord li, you have to control him.
Father. Master.
How was today's assignment?
I made seven lesser revolutions and four greater revolutions.
I learned to make icy rivers, Cliffside Springs, frost, and snow.
I have reached the seventh level of ninth heaven ice Jade.
Also, I made a friend on the beach.
What? A friend?
You know that you can't reveal your identity yet!
He is human,
but he doesn't care who I am and thinks of me as a friend.
Who is this person?
His name is nezha.
What a small world.
You actually met the demon pill.
You mean...
Nezha is the demon pill.
We have waited for three years.
The day the heavenly tribulation occurs
and the demon pill begins a massacre
will be the day you save chentang pass
and be rightfully known as the spirit Pearl.
Is the demon pill truly wicked beyond redemption?
In times of antiquity,
the almighty dragon clan once ruled over all sea creatures.
At the heavenly court's request,
we subdued countless demon beasts in the ocean,
and I was bestowed the title of the dragon king.
Do you know what this place is?
The dragon palace.
Beneath the magma of this volcano
are all the underwater beasts that we helped the heavenly court defeat.
The name dragon palace may sound nice,
but in reality, it is a prison.
If we were to leave this place,
all the monsters would be free from divine supervision and escape.
We can't set foot outside this palace.
Dragons were born from monsters after all,
and couldn't possibly gain the heavenly court's trust.
This position as dragon king
doesn't just keep the ocean monsters imprisoned.
Our kind is also eternally imprisoned in this heavenly jail.
Son.
Our kind has waited a millennium for a chance like the spirit Pearl.
In another year,
I will be able to completely remove your horns from your head
and hide your identity as one of the dragons.
Only by achieving great deeds in the battle of the gods,
being deified and ascending to heaven,
will you have a chance to free the dragons from this underwater purgatory.
The fate of our clan depends on your success.
Don't let yourself be fooled by an illusion.
I am a demon,
a roaming and free one.
I kill without blinking
and eat people without thinking.
I eat eight at a time
until my belly is as round as a lime.
I sit on the crapper,
but I forget the toilet paper.
Young master, you haven't eaten in three days.
Nezha, how long will you keep this up?
Leave me alone.
Let me die in peace alone.
I'm nothing but a burden to you.
Why don't we play your favorite game?
Being alive just makes me blue.
The more I try, the more goes awry.
I designed a new project
- it all looks bleak the more I seek. - Called riding the clouds.
- The struggle is so weary, - Come try it out.
I might as well just stay asleep.
Nezha, your third birthday is in ten days.
The people of chentang pass want to celebrate with you.
What?
I believe they would celebrate my death.
But my birthday?
The sea yaksha is strong and adept at fleeing by water.
Its saliva can petrify and is most difficult to deal with.
The misunderstanding has been cleared.
They know you drove off that demon.
That's right!
Everybody wants to thank you for defeating the sea yaksha.
Yes! Great teachers produce brilliant students.
Those morons finally get it.
I can't be bothered with them.
Make sure you're ready.
You're so annoying!
Why did you bring up his birthday celebration?
Ever since you lied to him and said he was the spirit Pearl,
he has been happy for two years.
As long as he can be happy in his final days,
I don't care if we have to lie.
But...
The commoners want to lock nezha up.
Will they come to the celebration?
Let me handle that.
The slime I saw on his hands really was from the yaksha.
I will clear nezha's name at the celebration.
But...
I have been commander of chentang pass for years.
Some people owe me favors.
I'll get them to come, even if I have to grovel.
Don't worry.
What do you need?
You always pop up out of nowhere.
My birthday party is in ten days.
Everyone in chentang pass will be celebrating with me.
Look, I drew you a map so you wouldn't get lost.
The li residence is easy to find.
That's true. You'll come, right?
- 1... - Why are you hesitating?
I don't care if nobody else comes, but you have to come!
Why?
Because you're my only friend.
You're also my only friend.
Do you have any other wishes?
You saved my life,
so I will do everything I can to make them come true.
Wishes?
My wish is for you to come to my birthday party!
All right.
It's a deal! I'll be waiting for you.
Don't forget!
I won't.
Invitation
Ao bing.
It's time to go.
W ait.
Father!
Father, what are you doing?
Son,
all the dragons
have plucked off their toughest scales for you.
This dragon scale armor is impenetrable.
It's all up to you now.
Don't look so sad. Smile.
Smile!
Are you playing for a funeral?
When does lord li want us to go outside?
Wait for the signal.
Okay.
A cape adds more style.
Stunning!
It's a good shroud for a corpse.
Who's there?
I'm your...
Where did you come from, demon?
Stop!
I'm your master's peer.
Your name is shen something, right?
Shen gong...
What are you doing here, shen gonggong?
It's shen gongbao!
I'm here to tell you about your true identity.
My identity?
To this day,
you have been kept in the dark.
Let's welcome the birthday boy!
Nezhal
Nezha, it's your birthday.
Guess what gifts I got you.
Fire-tipped spear and red armillary sash!
I hereby pass these on to you.
There's one more important gift.
This shall be your mount.
Here, touch it.
This is my most cherished treasure.
It can turn into different mounts based on its owner's characteristics.
With you, it turns into wind and fire wheels!
So why is it a pig with you?
You little devil, three years have gone by so fast.
Back then, you were just a lumpy meatball in my belly.
Now you've become a little man.
Why are you saying that? This should be a joyous day.
I'm giving you a protection charm to keep you safe from harm.
Safe and sound
I've always been strict with you.
I know you're angry about that, but it couldn't be helped.
Son, you still have a long path ahead.
Don't be concerned with how others see you.
You are the only one who controls what you become.
Never give up.
A long path?
Do I even have a path?
Nezha, what are you saying?
The demon pill and the heavenly tribulation.
I know everything.
You lied that I was the spirit Pearl and kept me in the painting to train.
But you were really just keeping me locked up until I died,
but you were really just keeping me locked up until I died,
so you could make those morons feel better
and maintain your reputation as a commander!
Foolish disciple, what are you raving on about?
You're acting so paranoid.
Come, let the banquet begin!
Eat and drink your fill!
You're too scared to admit it, aren't you?
Fine, I'll see how much longer you can pretend.
Power of the cosmos, weight of a thousand souls,
- boundless span of the earth, - Who taught you that spell?
Qiankun hoop, hear my command!
Run!
Demon, I'll fight you to the death!
Nezha, have you lost your mind?
He has turned demonic, he isn't himself!
Only the qiankun hoop can bring him back to his senses!
Hurry, find it!
- Quick, find it! - Go, search!
Don't waste your time.
I have the qiankun hoop.
Only the heavenly tribulation can destroy the demon pill.
Once nezha has killed taiyi and his parents,
you'll stall him until the heavenly tribulation comes.
The people will call you the savior of the world.
From that point on, you will have every right to forge ahead.
Taiyi, li jing, and lady yin are innocent.
If the qiankun hoop hadn't been removed,
nezha might not have turned completely evil.
What do you care if he's good or evil?
He'll die anyway when the heavenly lightning strikes.
If taiyi, li jing, and lady yin don't die,
how will I sell the lie to the supreme lord?
Of all of the supreme lord's disciples,
I have worked the hardest.
I have trained diligently for a hundred years,
never letting up in the least.
But my master has never valued me.
You must know why.
I don't.
Because I was a leopard spirit that gained a human form,
so I'm the only odd one out among my master's disciples!
Like you, I am also a demon.
Humans have enough prejudice to build a mountain.
One that remains immovable no matter how hard you try.
There aren't many chances in life to change one's fate.
Master, nezha once saved my life.
I might not be able to save him,
but please let me save his parents and master
to repay my debt to him.
All right!
Go on, then!
If...
If you go, don't come back!
Don't say I didn't warn you.
If your identity is revealed,
then more than four people will die.
Where did he go?
Curses!
That's your father, nezha!
He's so cool.
It sure sounds fun out there.
Can we go out yet?
Settle down. Wait for the signal.
Use the qiankun hoop!
Power of the cosmos, weight of a thousand souls,
boundless span of the earth, qiankun hoop, obey my command!
Hold!
Nezhal
nezhal
son, how do you feel?
Nezhal
Please wait.
Thank you for helping us.
May I have your name, friend?
My name isn't worthy enough to grace your lips.
Still, I must make a toast to you to express my gratitude.
I still have an important task. I can't linger.
I'm sorry, let me brush that off for you.
No need.
A dragon!
Aren't they imprisoned at the bottom of the eastern sea?
How did he get out?
As soon as I saw you, I felt a familiar aura.
Seeing that Mark on your forehead, I am even more certain.
The spirit Pearl's sigil!
So it was the dragons who stole the spirit Pearl!
You can run, but you can't hide!
I'll report to the supreme lord and the heavenly court
and expose the crimes of the dragons!
Demons are demons. They can't change their nature.
So the dragons were the thieves.
The heavenly court shouldn't have let them live.
Look at this mess.
Shen gongbao!
Originally, this would've ended with four people dying.
Now look.
Everybody knows now.
Nobody here can be left alive.
You're involved in this too?
I'm not going to lie to you anymore.
I stole the spirit Pearl!
Ao bing is my disciple!
Have you gone mad?
Aren't you afraid the supreme lord will punish you?
What is there to be afraid of?
If you're all dead, there will be no one to tell him.
Ao bing, now that things have come to this,
nothing more can be done.
The survival of the dragons depends on the decision you make.
Son. Our kind has waited a millennium for a chance like the spirit Pearl.
Our clan's future depends on you.
What is he trying to do?
He's going to bury all of chentang pass!
Much time has passed in chentang pass.
We should hurry back
and see if there's anything we can do for the child.
Why are you leaving so soon?
- Stay and chat with me! - I don't have time for you.
The heavenly curse can't be broken,
but there are other ways.
A transplant spell, for example.
He's just a cloud. What does he know? He's just making things up.
I was our master's student centuries before you,
so I'm your senior!
I understand everything you don't.
I'll show you what I'm capable of.
Little cloud, you damn...
These are fate-swapping talismans.
Find a relative willing to sacrifice their life for the cursed one.
When the heavenly tribulation occurs, stick a talisman on the cursed one
and the other on the relative.
The heavenly lightning will change course to the relative instead.
What are you doing, commander li?
I've decided to swap my life for nezha's.
Please keep this secret for me, master immortal.
Don't let my wife know about this.
My lord, you can save him this time, but you can't protect him forever.
The demon pill will bring disaster to humankind,
and once the supreme lord returns, he won't spare nezha.
What is the demon pill?
I will use the remaining two years to guide nezha onto the right path,
so that the world accepts him.
No, I won't allow it.
If you won't allow it,
then I shall die with nezha when the lightning strikes.
How can I let that happen?
Who is nezha to you?
He is my son.
Stop!
- What strong armor! - Aim for the head!
Ao bing?
Don't waste your breath with him!
What are you doing here, shen gonggong?
It's shen gongbao!
It was shen gongbao who stole the spirit Pearl
and put it in ao bing.
He wants to bury chentang pass!
Stop!
Your power is being reduced by the qiankun hoop.
You can't defeat me.
Enough talk! You're not doing anything while I'm around!
Don't make me!
You can't hit me!
Fine, I'll make it so that you have nowhere to hide!
Stop, ao bing!
I'm sorry, master!
Nezhal
What are you wearing? Even my fire-tipped spear can't Pierce it!
Transformation technique?
Come get me! Come on!
Demon, only one of us can live!
Don't cross the line, shen gongbao!
I'm going easy on you because I'm your senior.
Damn fatty, you're not more powerful than me.
I am the best candidate to be one of the 12 golden immortals!
Unbelievable.
Master even gave you mountains and rivers
why don't you surrender?
Your artifact may be powerful, but it depends on who is using it!
Take this!
Don't you run!
I got you!
Brat, I am your master!
Shut up! Don't you know that the devil is in the details?
I'm coming to your aid, ao bing!
That'll teach you!
Well done, ao bing!
You're too kind, master.
That's your reward!
Master!
My hard work has paid off!
No!
Who are you?
I am your master!
Master, it's me, nezha!
It's you! Let's get out of here.
Only that brush can get us out of here.
Get it!
Ao bing, get the brush!
Nezha, I'll help you get the brush!
We'll see how much you have left.
I have an endless supply of ammunition.
I still have a bit left.
Watch this!
Don't you know how to draw, fool?
You try drawing with your feet!
- Nezha! - Nezhal
Power of the cosmos, weight of a thousand souls,
boundless span of the earth, qiankun hoop, obey my command!
I mustn't release my full power or I'll lose awareness.
Stop struggling.
You were born from the demon pill.
This is your fate!
Screw you!
I am the master of my fate!
I'm the one who decides
whether I'm an immortal or a demon!
Why didn't you stab me?
I told you.
You are my only friend.
Looks like my time is up.
You should leave.
Aren't you worried I'll...
Are you the spirit Pearl or not?
I'm more of a man than you are and I'm the demon pill.
Could you be any more of a wuss?
I am a demon.
My fate was sealed the moment I was born.
Bullshit!
Other people's opinions are bullshit!
You are the only one who controls what you become.
That's what my father taught me!
If you don't like your fate, fight it until the bitter end.
Nezhal
- you... - What are you doing, nezha?
I will bear my own fate.
I won't burden anyone else.
No! Nezha, stop!
It's no big deal.
Three years might not be a long time,
but I had a lot of fun.
My only regret
is that I never got to kick the shuttlecock with you.
Today is my birthday, so nobody is allowed to cry!
How embarrassing.
Father, mother.
Thank you.
- Nezha! - Nezhal
nezhal
- nezha! - Nezhal
Do you want to die?
You're mad, ao bing!
Dragon scale armor!
Idiot, everything is ruined.
I'll see you around, taiyi!
You're sacrificing yourself for no reason. You're a fool!
Only a fool would be your friend!
The chaos Pearl has the ability to absorb energy.
The spirit Pearl and demon pill combined can do the same!
I can't absorb any more! I'm about to explode!
If it's too much,
then send it back!
Right!
I can't hold on!
Nezhal
I can't believe they're still holding on.
If I jump in,
I wonder if they'll survive.
Open!
Nezhal
- How did this happen? - I didn't die!
Wrong! You're both dead!
The prismatic lotus couldn't save your mortal bodies,
but it kept your souls intact.
Unfortunately, the lightning shaved away my immortal development,
costing me centuries of cultivation!
You little devil,
you scared me half to death!
If you asked me if a person can change their fate...
Well, I don't know.
But I do know
that it is nezha's fate
to defy his.
A jiaozi film
Are we still not allowed to go out yet?
We haven't heard the signal yet!
What is the signal?
Right.
What is the signal?
Don't leave! There are post-credit scenes!
My son, ao bing!
The dragons have waited a millennium for this chance!
Chentang pass will pay in blood!
Come on, louder!
Maybe you can kill your enemies with the sound of your voice.
What's the use of acting all tough when you can't even leave this prison?
Would you like to make a deal,
my brother?
Don't you dare leave! There are more post-credit scenes!
Jiang ziya.
Do you know your sins?
