The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 375 - 371 Capturing the Dragon (2nd Update)

According to the manager of the inn, Mr. Chen, the weather around the Heavenly Pit was quite peculiar. As soon as the rainy season passed, there would inevitably be a thunderstorm in the night within three to five days, which is unique to this area.

Therefore, whether it was Shen Luo, Ao Hong, or the swallow-gatherers, all were waiting for this storm.

However, for some reason this year, there had been a layer of thick clouds accumulating over Dalishi Mountain for several days. It was already early May, but the eagerly anticipated thunderstorm hadn’t occurred.

Restless, everyone was eager for the storm, especially Shen Luo, who was already running out of time and couldn’t afford to spend any longer here.

One night, Shen Luo was sitting alone in his room, considering whether to use a Thunderfall Talisman or two to see if he could shock the Jade-eyed Golden Toad out from hiding, when suddenly, a dull boom came from outside.

Shen Luo felt his whole room vibrate violently with the sound of the boom.

He rushed to the window, pushed it open, and looked out to see flickering light trails in the clouds over the Heavenly Pit. It seemed as if an even greater storm was brewing.

"Is it finally coming?" Shen Luo’s eyes sparkled with a hint of excitement.

But just then a flash of light abruptly shone from the thick clouds above. Shen Luo glimpsed what seemed to be a massive figure circling in the clouds, but it disappeared back into the haze before he could get a clear look.

His brow furrowed, Shen Luo immediately left the room and headed towards the Heavenly Pit.

After the thunder sounded, the Jade-eyed Golden Toad should wake up and appear near Crescent Moon Lake to absorb moon spirit, and Shen Luo had to get there as soon as possible.

But as soon as he reached the ground, he heard a deep dragon chant. His footsteps halted, and he once again looked up at the sky.

He saw a golden dragon, a hundred feet long, emerging from the clouds. The dragon’s snaking body stirred the clouds, causing violent waves.

Seeing this, Shen Luo immediately realized that the previous thunder was not caused by nature but that Ao Hong, who was tired of waiting for the thunderstorm, had used some form of God’s Power to bring about a heavenly thunder.

"Rumble."

The violent rumbling in the sky continued. The vigorously whirled clouds, under Ao Hong’s massive form, started to crack and split, revealing a large, funnel-like void in the middle.

As soon as this void appeared, the missing moonlight finally filtered through and shone down.

From afar, Shen Luo saw what resembled an open window in the sky, from which a ghostly white heavenly light descended just, directly onto the center of the Heavenly Pit.

Whether it was the reflection from the Crescent MoonLake or not, a dazzling light reflected upwards from the center of the pit, illuminating the entire dense forest in front.

Shen Luo wasted no more time and immediately took out two Divine Armor Horse Talismans, sticking them to his legs.

The talisman paper burnt up with a whoosh, but the resulting ash didn’t scatter. Instead, some invisible force gathered them and wrapped them around Shen Luo’s lower legs.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Luo felt a sudden lightness in his legs. With a slight forward move, he found himself several feet ahead.

His eyes focused, he started to sprint. His figure, a blurred shadow, quickly darted through the forest and suddenly bolted out.

After just a dozen breaths, Shen Luo leaped off the ground. Under inertia, he shot out a few more feet, before finally halting quickly by the shore of Crescent Moon Lake.

However, as soon as he stopped, he saw a golden toad the size of palm, its entire body golden colour. It was struggling violently with its four legs, frantically attempting to fly into the sky above.

Above it, suspended in mid-air, was a fish basket woven from unknown vines, with a golden vortex spinning at its mouth. It exuded pulling forces, wrapping the Golden Toad within it.

Shen Luo was completely startled, and immediately waved his hand.

A blue water rope emerged from the heart of the lake, shooting towards the Jade-eyed Golden Toad, attempting to pull it back.

However, as the water rope approached the Golden Toad, a golden halo suddenly swept down from the high altitude.

With a "puff", the water rope shattered instantly.

Following that, a figure descended from the sky, landing beside the suspended fish basket. With a pluck, the basket fell into the figure’s hand, with the Jade-eyed Golden Toad subsequently entrapped within it.

"Brother Shen, I’m sorry. This Golden Toad is of great importance to me, so I have taken it." Ao Hong wore a smile as he spoke to Shen Luo.

Seeing the situation, Shen Luo, with a flying talisman pinch within his sleeve, gestured as if he were about to pursue.

This Jade-eyed Golden Toad was equally important to him. Whether he could obtain it or not was a matter of life and death. Even though Ao Hong’s cultivation level was obviously higher than his, Shen Luo did not consider giving it up just like that.

Unfortunately, Ao Hong did not give him the opportunity to compete. He hung the golden fish basket around his waist. Then, transforming into a golden dragon shape, shot up into the sky, flying off into the distance.

Just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred.

In the sky, there was a sudden "crashing" sound as a huge black curtain flew in from nowhere, covering the Heavenly Pit’s airspace, effectively blocking Ao Hong’s path.

At the same time, on the mountain wall on the other side of the Heavenly Pit, a white light suddenly surged, and giant talisman patterns materialized out of nowhere.

Then, the ground of the entire Heavenly Pit began to shake violently.

Shen Luo looked down and saw huge formation patterns appearing under his feet. His heart abruptly tightened, and he hurriedly urged the Armor Horse Talisman to its full power, turning towards a distant place to run wildly.

While running, he felt a rising chill from the ground beneath his feet. He looked down and found that the ground was quickly freezing. If he were a step slower, he would be frozen by the frost.

Shen Luo ran a distance of almost hundred feet in one breath. The overwhelming frost finally halted.

He stopped and turned his head to look towards the center of the Heavenly Pit. There he saw that the black curtain was still covering the sky. It fluctuated continuously, as if Ao Hong was persistently ramming against it underneath, with successive Dragon Chants resonating.

At that moment, another Daoist appeared in the sky. The short-bearded old man, named Tong Guan, revealed himself and exclaimed,

"I would have never guessed, this time not only have I caught a Jade-eyed Golden Toad, but I have also captured a True Dragon. Tsk, tsk, a genuine True Dragon, not like those Flood Dragons or Giant Pythons. Ha ha ha..."

Having said that, he pressed his hand down. The black curtain flashed black light and quickly shrank.

Only then did Shen Luo see clearly that on the other side of the black curtain there was a black wooden pole. It was actually a black big flag.

When the flag shrank to about the height of a man, Tong Guan suddenly formed a magic spell with his hand. The flag fluttered as it rolled up by itself, directly wrapping Ao Hong within it.

He grabbed the flagpole, shouldered it and descended towards the ground.

On the ground, three figures were waiting. They were Yu Xin and the Feng Shan and Feng Shui brothers.
