Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 370 The Ink Dragon Emerges from the Lake, Heading for Changping Prefecture
"Why so fast this time?" Gu Zhao asked.

"I don't know." Master Jingfeng was standing on a mountaintop far from Mohu Lake, gazing at the lake in the distance.

All that could be seen was that the eight-hundred-mile-long Ink Lake was shrouded in mist and clouds, and the endless fog blocked out the sunlight. Even if Master Jingfeng strained his eyes, he could not see the scene in the center of the Ink Lake.

"It has been two years since the last time the Ink Dragon appeared, but it has been less than a year and a half since it last showed up," Master Jingfeng transmitted his voice.

"What is the current situation at Mohu Lake?" Gu Zhao asked again.

"The monster in the lake is floating erratically, its aura is revealed, and it seems that it also wants to follow the black dragon out of the lake and wreak havoc in the surrounding area." Daoist Qingwei and Daoist Qingyuan also arrived not far from the black lake.

“We didn’t sense any demonic energy, but the aura of monsters was strong and carried a bloody smell,” Master Jinghong said in a deep voice. “Whether it was the black dragon in the lake or any other monster, they were all filled with murderous intent.”

"The entire Mohu Lake is pitch black and completely opaque. I have no idea what kind of water it is," said Daoist Qingyuan with some curiosity.

Gu Zhao recalled what Bai Fei, the master of Bailing Mountain, had told him: "It is said that this black dragon has already refined the eight hundred miles of black lake into its natal magic weapon."

"Good heavens!" Master Jingfa exclaimed in shock, "This is going to be difficult to fight."

"Don't fight him at Ink Lake," Gu Zhao said. "Our senior uncles should stay away from Ink Lake and wait until the Ink Dragon emerges from the mountain before making our move on the way."

"it is good!"

The old Taoist priests nodded in unison, glanced at the still misty and rippling Ink Lake in the distance, and then turned and left.

……

"Gudu - Gudu -"

Throughout Pingjiang Prefecture and its six counties, no ordinary people dared to approach Mohu Lake. Even the fishermen living on the tributaries of Mohu Lake went ashore. Everyone seemed to sense an ominous aura.

In the middle of the Ink Lake, shadowy figures lurked and whispered among themselves.

"Lord Mo Ao seems to be waking up."

"Good that you're awake, good that you're awake. Now that the adults are awake, they're going to eat people, and we can have a good meal too."

"I don't know why, but I'm really restless right now. I just want to eat all the mortals I can see."

"What a coincidence, so am I!"

"Hehehe, because we're with Lord Mo Ao, those guys from the Xuanwei Divine Sect and the Spirit Court don't bother us. We can eat people whenever we want, it's so comfortable!"

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right!"

"It's a pity that Lord Mo Ao doesn't allow us to make too much noise while he's in deep meditation, otherwise I would have already lost my temper."

"Didn't that big black fish sneak out a few days ago? Why hasn't it come back yet?"

"Life outside must be too comfortable."

"It's also possible that it will be destroyed by the Great Luo Palace in the west, hehehe."

"Daluo Palace? What is that? Isn't the Golden Wind Sect in Changping Prefecture to the west? I've been to Changping Prefecture before. Apart from the sect leader being truly extraordinary, I could kill any other ghosts and gods."

"The Golden Wind Sect has been destroyed. The Great Luo Palace is now in charge. I heard it mentioned by the mortal merchants on the shore. They say they are acting on behalf of Heaven and exorcising demons."

"What nonsense! Why don't they dare come to Pingjiang Prefecture?"

"Then Lord Mo Ao will tear down that damned Great Luo Palace!"

"Hiss... I can't hold back anymore..."

"Me too……"

Just then, a dragon's roar suddenly came from the depths of Ink Lake, "Roar—" The dragon's roar was hoarse and deep, carrying the connotation of metal rubbing together, as well as a fierce and brutal ferocity.

The sound traveled through the Ink Lake, the invisible sound seemingly carrying a wisp of demonic thought, resounding in the souls of many monsters and stirring up the thoughts tainted deep within their souls.

"hiss--"

"Roar--"

The next moment, at the bottom of the lake in the center of Ink Lake, a pair of eyes as big as water tanks suddenly opened. The vertical pupils in the eyes first flashed with confusion, then with ferocity, and then a wisp of demonic light flashed, turning into the final ferocity.

"Three more times."

At the bottom of Ink Lake, the Ink Dragon stretched its massive body and looked down.

This place is where the Ink Dragon sleeps year-round. No other monsters in the lake are allowed to approach within a ten-mile radius. Unlike other monsters, there are no caves or furnishings here. Apart from the pitch-black lake water, there are only water plants that are tens of meters long, covering this area.

But in this most central place, there were no water plants or silt, but a stone slab several hundred meters in circumference, with twisted patterns drawn on it, and eerie black light flickering within the patterns.

"There are only three more times, and you won't be able to take it anymore."

The black dragon's murmur echoed from the bottom of the lake, but unfortunately there were no other intelligent creatures within a ten-mile radius, only mindless river fish and water snakes swimming slowly.

The next moment, the black dragon opened its mouth, and in its blood-red maw, there were rings of sharp teeth that were completely different from those of dragons and snakes.

The black dragon's ears twitched, and it heard the conversation of the other monsters in the lake.

"The Great Luo Palace? For exorcising demons and monsters?"

"Interesting, were they sent by the Xuanwei Divine Sect?"

"In that case, let's just swallow up Changping Prefecture in this one meal."

"Ten years! Ten years from now, the entire Jiangzhou will be transformed into a demon realm, and I will become the first dragon king under the Demon Ancestor!"

……

"boom!"

Suddenly, the surface of Mohu Lake surged, and even from above, a larger and deeper dark shadow could be seen gradually emerging from beneath the surface of the pitch-black water.

The next moment, the lake surface, which spanned hundreds of meters in radius, seemed to explode, with countless dark waves shooting into the sky. It even broke through the water vapor and smoke above the lake, and for a short time, the white clouds and blazing sun in the sky could be seen.

Then the water fell, crashing onto the surface of the lake like a boulder, creating towering waves that surged in all directions.

At the very center of the explosion, a black dragon several hundred meters long soared into the sky.

The dragon's head resembled both a dragon and a snake, with two short horns on its head and several whiskers that fluttered backward. Its body was covered with scales the size of a washbasin, each scale inlaid with sharp edges that shone with a cold light.

Four dragon claws grasped in mid-air, and then wisps of black energy spread from its palms, merging with the rolling waves that exploded from the lake, and condensing into clusters of black clouds.

The clouds spread and rose with the dragon. Just as the dragon broke through the clouds above the Ink Lake, the black clouds completely enveloped it.

Then, the black cloud absorbed the surrounding moisture, and its range gradually expanded. In just a breath, it had spread to a radius of more than ten miles, and its size was comparable to that of a prefecture city.

"breathe--"

The black mist condensed into a black cloud, which seemed to breathe, and then flew towards Changping Prefecture in the east.

As the black dragon emerged from the lake, the previously silent scene in the lake was immediately shattered. Dozens or even hundreds of demons and monsters cheered and then swam in the direction of the giant waves, heading towards the places where ordinary people lived around Pingjiang Prefecture.
