I, disguised as a white dragon, was supported by the state.

If it realizes its actions were inappropriate and cancels the spell, then we're truly doomed.

Just as he was about to put his phone away, he suddenly heard his father cry out, "Water!"

"What water?" Chen Zhuo asked, turning his head and widening his eyes in surprise.

The water in Tianchi Lake suddenly surged and gushed out, transforming into a lifelike water dragon that flew away into the distance.

“It’s Grandpa Long!” he said.

……

Bai Lin activated the power of the formation, manipulating the surrounding water vapor to transform into nine water dragons.

As they approached the formation, the water dragons gradually became tinged with blue, making them appear even more agile and nimble.

The surrounding vegetation was drained of its vitality and quickly turned yellow and withered.

As the horns of those water dragons turned blue, the surrounding vegetation withered completely.

The nine dragons roared and intertwined, forming a sphere that enveloped Bai Lin.

Of course, there are also those black mists trying to escape.

This is the power of the formation.

For this dragon soul that was within reach, Bai Lin almost exhausted the power of the array flags.

Amidst the black dragon's roar, the black mist grew thinner and thinner.

About half an hour later, all the black mist completely disappeared.

The nine dragons formed from the power of water and wood in the sky then dispersed.

Bai Lin finally opened his tightly closed eyes.

His size remained around twenty meters long, but his aura had subtly changed, making him appear as imposing as a mountain.

His spiritual sense has nearly doubled.

If he could only cover the Yatou Mountain area with his divine sense before, now he can easily extend it to the surrounding towns.

Bai Lin silently processed the changes within himself, then turned his gaze downwards.

He devoured the remaining dragon soul, and the chains that had bound the dragon soul still floated in the air, seemingly searching for a target.

These chains, made of pure spiritual energy, made Bai Lin even more eager to see what was happening below.

He didn't even absorb any fragments of memories from that tattered dragon soul.

It was obvious that the black dragon's true form was far more powerful than he had anticipated, and this dragon soul was probably just a tiny fraction of what he had left.

He turned his gaze downwards to the arrays that extended from the ground and were still shimmering with golden light.

This time he didn't hold back and directly used magic to create a gust of wind that uprooted all the ancient trees around him.

A sudden gust of wind swept through, and in no time, it peeled away a layer of the ground, revealing the rock layer beneath and the complete array of formations distributed on it.

This formation was far more complex and intricate than any of the ones he had seen before.

At some key points, Bai Lin even saw some gray stones.

He landed on the ground, and with a gentle touch of his claws, the stones turned to dust.

This is clearly a spirit stone that has exhausted its spiritual energy.

Did spirit stones ever exist on Earth?

If a formation can be set up with spirit stones, how dense must the dragon energy below be?

……

Chapter 104 The Dragon and the Dragon Tail

Bai Lin took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

He flew into the air and looked down at the sealing formation on the ground.

He had never seen this kind of formation before, but judging from its style, it must be quite ancient.

With a quick glance, he could see the more than ten runes that formed the core of the formation.

After a few seconds of contemplation, he formed a hand seal with his hands and activated the spell.

The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and more than ten thick icicles quickly condensed in the air.

Under the sunlight, these nearly ten-meter-long icicles reflected a chilling gleam.

Once the ice pillars had solidified, Bai Lin waved his claws, and the ice pillars scattered, hovering above the runes.

After a moment's pause, he raised his claws and pressed down, causing the ice pillar to crash down.

Before the dust had settled, another deafening roar echoed from the ground, shaking the mountains and forests and startling birds and beasts dozens of kilometers away into a frenzy.

Chen Zhuo and his son, who were far away by Tianchi Lake, were also startled.

In Bai Lin's view, after the runes were destroyed, the formation also began to collapse.

Just over ten seconds later, a huge crater nearly fifty meters deep appeared on the ground.

The pit walls are made of gray stone, while the bottom of the pit has some uneven textures.

This is a formation within a formation!

Bai Lin glanced at it briefly before looking away, focusing his gaze on the thing suppressed at the bottom of the pit.

Contrary to his expectations of a black dragon, what was suppressed in the center of this formation was a dragon tail that was about six meters long.

The black dragon tail appeared to be made of obsidian, shimmering in the sunlight.

The rich dragon aura rushed towards him, giving Bai Lin a dazed feeling, like a mouse entering a rice jar.

But he had a strange feeling, as if the dragon's tail was abnormally black, and even the surrounding dragon energy had a strange smell.

Bai Lin shook off the jumbled thoughts in his mind, guessing that he might have been influenced by that disrespectful uncle of the black dragon.

"If such a powerful remnant soul is hidden in a single dragon tail, how strong must this black dragon have been in its prime!" He stared intently at the dragon tail, marveling to himself.

He raised his claw and sent the nine array flags that had been placed around the perimeter flying up and landing back around the giant pit, blocking all the dragon energy that was trying to escape.

He didn't have time to think about why this place only suppressed a section of a dragon's tail, but decided to absorb the dragon's energy here first.

With such delicious food in front of us, wouldn't it be a waste not to enjoy it to the fullest?

However, his expression changed abruptly the moment he inhaled his first breath of dragon energy.

A murderous aura emerged from his eyes, adding a touch of twisted madness to them.

This dragon energy is wrong!

Bai Lin channeled his spiritual energy, forcefully suppressing the insane killing intent within him.

He recalled the feeling of inhaling the dragon's energy, and his expression gradually became solemn.

Turbid, distorted, cold, oppressive...

It stirs up the brutality and killing instincts in people's hearts...

"This is demonic energy!"

"No, it's dragon energy mixed with demonic energy!"

Looking at that section of the dragon's tail, Bai Lin finally understood why he had that abnormal feeling.

Demonic energy and spiritual energy are opposites, like darkness and light.

The demonic energy contains a vast amount of negative energy, making it easy to be corrupted. Once one cannot resist it and their mind is affected by the demonic energy, they may become a bloodthirsty, brutal, and destructive demon.

This is called going astray.

It's not just cultivators who can be affected by demonic energy; dragons can too.

This kind of demonic dragon is also rejected by the dragon race.

According to Bai Lin's knowledge, those demons who had completely lost their minds were exiled by various forces to a place called Tianwaitian.

It was located deep in the void, a desolate wilderness.

Because demonic energy and spiritual energy complement each other, these demons are constantly trying to invade the world with spiritual energy.

They are also known as "Heavenly Demons".

The appearance of this demonic dragon on Earth means that spiritual energy did indeed exist in the past.

The concentration of spiritual energy must be quite high to attract such a powerful demonic dragon.

Sensing the dense dragon energy around him, a hint of struggle appeared in Bai Lin's eyes.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to eat the "rotten old rice".

When people are extremely hungry, they have no right to be picky.

This just means that his departure time will have to be postponed, since he will have to spend a lot of time suppressing and eliminating the demonic energy.

Before officially going into seclusion, Bai Lin sent messages to Guan Mi and Lei Yao respectively through the "Dragon Scales".

Upon learning that his return plan had been postponed for at least one or two months, Guan Mi was disappointed. After being rejected, he could only reluctantly agree and told Guan Mi to be careful.

Lei Yao was not far from here, so Bai Lin notified him to come over.

Although he had set up a meticulous array here, there was still a certain probability that the demonic energy would leak out.

To avoid causing any impact, he instructed Lei Yao to notify the authorities to seal off the surrounding 100 kilometers, personally patrolled the area to prevent anyone from getting close, and promptly eliminated any creatures affected by the demonic energy.

After explaining things to the two, Bai Lin reinforced the formation and then began to seclude himself to absorb the dragon energy mixed with demonic energy.

His good mood was somewhat ruined.

This stuff is like food laced with poison; he wouldn't even glance at it unless he was starving.

……

Chen Zhuo, however, was so hungry he felt like he wanted to eat shit.

He and his father had been on the mountain for almost two days.

The backpack containing food was left in the woods, so the two of them were hungry all day.

The distance had been quiet for half a day, and they suspected that "Grandpa Dragon" had already left.

"Dad, how about we eat bear?" Chen Zhuo asked, looking at the black bear in the distance.

The brown bear was so frightened by the appearance of the water dragon that it ran away, leaving the half-eaten black bear behind.

At this moment, Chen Zhuo could see some flies hovering over the black bear's carcass in the distance, but he was so hungry that he was seeing stars and didn't care about them.

Mr. Chen had the same idea, and nodded, saying, "Let's go down the mountain after we finish eating!"

Although the white dragon told them to wait and not move, so much time has passed now that perhaps the white dragon has already left.

Although the place was unfamiliar, as an experienced mountain hiker, Mr. Chen could discern the direction and was confident that he could find his way out.

The father and son agreed and quickly walked towards the black bear's carcass.

To shoo away the flies, Chen's father used the dagger he carried with him to dispose of the bear carcass.

Chen Zhuo piled the collected branches together and took out a lighter to start a fire.

The two never strayed too far apart, fearing that the possible barrier might disappear.

By the time Chen Zhuo had successfully ignited the fire, five or six minutes had passed.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to urge his father to hurry up when he looked up and his face paled in horror.

More than ten meters away, a brown bear was watching them intently!

That guy is back!

Chen Zhuo broke out in a cold sweat instantly, swallowed hard, and nudged his father with his elbow: "Dad, bear!"

Mr. Chen said impatiently, "What's the rush? It'll be ready soon."

The bear's hide was so thick that it took him a lot of time to clean up the rotting flesh, making his arms ache.

This kid doesn't even know to switch with him, he's still urging me here.

"No, the bear is coming," Chen Zhuo said.
