A celestial dragon hovered between the sky and the earth while streams of blood were absorbed continuously into its body from the blood lake below. Although the dragon's body did not look big, it still radiated a majestic aura.
It wasn't just blood. With countless years of precipitation of essence, the blood lake also contained the myriad emotions of the dead, as well as their negative energy.
"Ang!"
The dozen meters long dragon looked roared domineeringly as it absorbed the stellar energy. At the same time, it continued to gulp down large amounts of the blood lake's water!
"Is this really a celestial dragon?" Mo Dao muttered to himself. The dragon before his eyes looked so hideous and malicious it was more apt to call it a demonic dragon.
[1] TL/N: The Twenty-Eight Mansions are part of the Chinese constellations system. They can be considered as the equivalent to the zodiacal constellations in Western astronomy, though the Twenty-eight Mansions reflect the movement of the Moon through a sidereal month rather than the Sun in a tropical year.
