Chapter 409: Chapter 214: Troops Surround Black Lake, the Transformed Black Lake Jiao Venerable (Part 2)

The Demon Suppression Bureau has been unable to deal with the Black Lake Demon Race for so many years, not just because they are powerful, but also because the natural cold of the Black Lake serves as a protective barrier for them.

The army marches on for a while more, and the vast Black Lake appears before them, along with countless demons, and a group of Flood Dragons circling in the void.

Ao Xingyun perched high in the sky, looking down at Pei Shinan with cold eyes: "Pei Shinan, are you trying to bully the young with the old?"

Pei Shinan displayed a disdainful smile: "Heh... You’re a beast that has lived for five or six hundred years, and I’m only three hundred years old. Do you think it’s reasonable to say I’m bullying the young with the old?"

It’s difficult for demons to cultivate their Dao, often taking several hundred years.

If we were to truly speak of age, he is not older than Ao Xingyun.

He immediately continued, "You need not provoke me; I still adhere to some rules. I will not strike at you Demon Monarchs. Let your father come out, or today the Black Lake Flood Dragons will be erased from the world." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The number of Divine Realm Martial Sects in Tongzhou City’s Demon Suppression Bureau is less than that of the Black Lake Demon Race, but this time, in order to wipe out the Black Lake Demon Race, he has summoned Divine Realm Martial Sects from various places.

Situ Feng, Yue Chengwu, and Hong Shixian all rushed here from Su City. In terms of Divine Realm Martial Sects, the Human Race is not less than the Demon Monarchs of the demons.

Moreover, with the annihilation of the Divine Sword Sect, the Divine Realm Martial Sects within Tongzhou are very compliant; if the Demon Suppression Bureau needs them, not a single Grandmaster dares to refuse a command.

He not only summoned a few commanders but also some sect leaders from Peak Sects.

"Are you qualified to destroy my Black Lake lineage, Pei Shinan?"

Suddenly, a strong voice came from deep within the Black Lake, followed by a terrifying surge of energy.

The surface of the Black Lake began to churn violently, revealing the outline of a massive mountain peak, and from beneath the black water, a dazzling golden light shot out.

"It’s the venerable father, the venerable father has arrived!"

Ao Xingyun and several Flood Dragons turned their heads to look back, the hideous dragon heads full of joy.

Pei Shinan’s brows slightly furrowed: "A voice full and resonant. It seems this beast has not only recovered from its injuries but its cultivation has become even more fearsome."

"Prepare for battle!"

With a mighty shout, all the soldiers sprang into action, forming battle arrays, and in an instant, a frightening murderous intent seemed to shatter through the clouds, with deputy generals and captains guiding their troops to gather.

At the same time, the sky above the Black Lake began to gather a large amount of black clouds, with the wind roaring between heaven and earth.

Crack!

A huge thunderbolt slashed through the sky, and the gloomy sky suddenly shone brightly.

In the next moment, a brilliantly golden Flood Dragon broke through the water surface, soaring through the sky.

The Flood Dragon was completely golden, with dazzling golden light weaving a five-colored halo behind him, and his imposing dragon might swept across the sky, leaving all demons to prostrate themselves in fear, chanting "Long live the Dragon Venerable."

Pei Shinan gasped: "What did this beast eat? He used to have a Four-Color Two-Forged Golden Body, how did it become a Five-Colored Golden Body, and his cultivation also advanced from Second Forging to Fourth Forging!"

Wei Fan was seeing the Black Lake Jiao Venerable for the first time, and was unaware of what he was like before, but Pei Shinan had faced off with the Black Lake Jiao Venerable for years, and was exceedingly familiar with him.

Based on their last encounter, the Black Lake Jiao Venerable would need at least ten years to recover from his injuries.

Yet now, not only has the Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s cultivation improved, but his Golden Body level has also risen from four colors to five colors.

Wei Fan’s expression remained unchanged: "No matter, even if he attains a Seven-Colored Golden Body, today, this beast must die!"

The Five-Colored Golden Body made the Black Lake Jiao Venerable finally exhibit some of the phenomena expected of Flood Dragons, with ferocious winds raging between heaven and earth, thunder and lightning, and thick black clouds like an angry god, causing an unsettling sense in the heart.

"I had originally planned to finish my closed-door training before settling the score with you, but it seems you’re in such a hurry to die, Pei Shinan."

Sweeping through the sky, the Black Lake Jiao Venerable soared without restraint, as if venting the pent-up indignation of these past years. Standing above the myriad demons, he looked down at Pei Shinan on his demon horse.

With a Five-Colored Golden Body Fourth Forging, it would be easy to eliminate Pei Shinan and Qi Zhicun together, but casting a glance around, he found Qi Zhicun was not present.

He couldn’t help but wonder, "Where’s that fence-sitter Qi Zhicun?"

Since he intended to kill, he naturally wanted to dispose of Qi Zhicun as well.

"Venerable father, the Divine Sword Sect has been destroyed, Qi Zhicun is dead." Ao Xingyun couldn’t help but remind him.

The venerable father had been in seclusion and was unaware that the Divine Sword Sect had been obliterated by Wei Fan.

The Black Lake Jiao Venerable was momentarily stunned upon hearing this: "Destroyed? I guess that saves me some trouble."

"So, Pei Shinan, what are you waiting for? Come over and sacrifice yourself, and after destroying you, I’ll go level your Tongzhou City."

He emanated a terrifying aura, and the gale intensified, waves surged on the lake.

Pei Shinan shook his head: "Don’t rush, today we at the Tongzhou Demon Suppression Bureau are not the protagonists, we’re just the set dressing. If you want to kill me, settle your old scores with him first before coming for me!"

He gestured to Wei Fan beside him.

"Who are you?" Black Lake Jiao Venerable didn’t recognize Wei Fan.

Wei Fan remained expressionless: "You provoked the entire Jianghu to kill me using the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, I’ve also slaughtered two Flood Dragons, do you recognize me now?"

Wei Fan, the Demon Hunter who killed his son and grandson.

The Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s eyes emitted intense murderous intent: "You, a mere Divine Realm Martial Sect, dare to settle scores with me? Pei Shinan, have you lost your mind?"

He was unaware of the faked death, and naturally didn’t know that Wei Fan was no longer the Wei Fan he once knew.

Ao Xingyun shouted, "Venerable father, Wei Fan is not a Divine Realm Martial Sect anymore, it was this Wei Fan who destroyed the Divine Sword Sect and killed Qi Zhicun.

He’s achieved a Six-Colored Golden Body; do not spare him today, or our Black Lake lineage will eventually fall into his hands someday!"

Six-Colored Golden Body!

The shock flashed in the eyes of the Black Lake Jiao Venerable; he had created this Demon himself. Had it not been for his plan using the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill to entice Fu Shizheng, trying to create a problem for the Human Race, how could he have unknowingly created a Demon with a Six-Colored Golden Body for the Human Race?

Moreover, this Demon had become a great enemy of the Black Lake lineage, having killed Qi Zhicun in a short time.

Had he not risked acquiring a supreme treasure at that place, cleansing his bloodline, today the Black Lake Flood Dragon lineage would indeed be wiped out.

"Truly, I must not let you live!"

With a hearty shout, the Black Lake Jiao Venerable declared, "Pei Shinan, you can all come together; today, this dragon will vanquish you all!"

As his words fell, a tremendous flood of demons charged at the Demon Suppression Bureau’s army like an unleashed torrent.

"All soldiers, follow me in battle, eradicate these beasts!"

With a roar from You Qingfeng, tens of thousands of troops charged forward, Divine Realm Martial Sects clashing with Demon Monarchs.

"To annihilate a single long worm, do we need everyone to attack together?"

Wei Fan broke through the void with a step, instantly appearing amidst the turbulent skies: "I’ve always wanted to forge a great bow, but haven’t found suitable materials. Your Five-Colored Golden Body seems just right."

Materials for crafting Divine Soldiers, aside from those possessing divine ore, a Martial Venerable or Demon Venerable’s body can also be excellent materials—it is merely easier to find ore than to hunt a fellow master of the same realm.

The Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s dragon could summon clouds and rain, creating wide-scale celestial phenomena; its divinity is unquestionable, certainly no less than any peak ore, or possibly even better.

He had long intended to forge a Divine Bow for long-range attacks but never had the ideal materials. He previously considered using the heartwood of the Peach Tree Demon, but as his realm progressed, he now disregarded just a Peach Tree Demon’s heartwood.

Before him, the Black Lake Jiao Venerable’s body could be forged into the bow’s body, and his dragon sinews could be extracted and made into bowstrings.

"You want to forge a bow from this dragon? Just so, for this dragon seeks to devour your Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, which must be great medicine. Horizontal Cultivation of Innate coupled with a Six-Colored Golden Body, it certainly will replenish well!"

The Black Lake Jiao Venerable wasn’t angered by the words, as he too had set his sights on Wei Fan’s physique.

Six-Colored Golden Body—he hadn’t achieved this despite consuming that thing. If he could devour Wei Fan, perhaps he could attain it. Then, among the world’s demons, who could dare look down on the Black Lake Flood Dragon and say that they disgrace the term Flood Dragon?

Boom!

With a casual wave of his tail, the entire Black Lake churned violently, hurling waves dozens of yards high towards Wei Fan like a power capable of overturning mountains and seas.
