Background / History

For at least seven years, the Dragon King Gang maintained a ritual in which a virgin boy and girl were offered to the creature on the fifth day of the fifth month. After the first sacrifice, the river remained calm for a year, allowing the custom to become entrenched with the yamen’s tacit approval. 2

The Flood Dragon publicly revealed itself during the River God Festival, erupting from the Dragon King River before the gathered crowd. While the onlookers fled in panic, Dragon King Gang leader Qiu Haiyou remained calm and smiled at the creature, implying prior knowledge of its arrival. 32

After Qiu Haiyou’s death, his brother Qiu Hairui continued the gang’s dealings with the demon. He ordered the abduction of one hundred children as sacrifices, warning his subordinates that failure to satisfy the so-called River God would bring death upon them. 182

The creature later expanded its hunting grounds around Ghost Gate Crossing. It ambushed and consumed a male Golden-Bone Crocodile Dragon, then defeated and devoured the wounded Millennium Giant Ao. After feeding, it demonstrated the ability to cultivate by condensing Moonlight Essence from fog and moonlight. 326 357

Fang Han first attempted to steal the Moonlight Essence while the demon cultivated, but the Flood Dragon detected him and drove him away with devastating breath attacks. 358 When the creature later moved downstream, Fang Han lured it into shallow water with drops of his refined blood and engaged it directly. 397 398

Unable to break its scales, Fang Han deliberately allowed the Flood Dragon to swallow him. He then attacked its unprotected interior, tore open the flesh around its core, and forcibly removed the Demon Core, killing the demon. 398 399

Appearance

The Flood Dragon was an enormous aquatic demon with a long, serpent-like body covered in pitch-black scales. Its head alone dwarfed ordinary people, and its full body measured roughly a dozen zhang long. 32 357 400

• Jet-black, palm-sized scales with a cold metallic sheen 32
• Amber vertical pupils described as cold and merciless 32 357
• Rows of blade-like white teeth 32
• A body several times larger than the Millennium Giant Ao 357
• Two developing black horns on its head 400
• A highly valuable reverse scale beneath its neck 400

Personality

The Flood Dragon possessed intelligence surpassing that of humans and did not act as a mindless beast. It recognized wounded prey, exploited the Millennium Giant Ao’s poisoned injury, and remained wary even while cultivating Moonlight Essence. 357 358

It was cruel, greedy, and predatory. The creature consumed sacrificed children, hunted powerful exotic beasts, and responded immediately to Fang Han’s refined blood, though it remained cautious when approaching the shore. 182 397 398

Abilities & Skills

Aquatic Predation

The Flood Dragon was the dominant predator of the Dragon King River and its connected waters.

• Killed and dragged away a male Golden-Bone Crocodile Dragon comparable to a Perfected Transformed Force martial artist 326 348
• Overpowered and devoured the Millennium Giant Ao despite the Ao’s exceptionally durable shell 357
• Moved through water with extreme speed and attempted to force opponents into deep water, where it held the advantage 398

Black-Scale Defense

Its thick black scales dispersed most external force.

• Withstood Fang Han’s punches even when he temporarily raised his combat strength to the level of a mid Third Grade expert 398
• After consuming the Millennium Giant Ao, its scales became even thicker and more difficult to damage 398
• Its unprotected interior was significantly more vulnerable than its exterior 398

Breath Sword

The Flood Dragon could expel concentrated aura from its mouth as a destructive ranged attack.

• Its casual breath blast possessed power comparable to a full-force strike from a Perfected Transformed Force martial artist 358
• Its breath sword could blast large craters into the riverbank 398

Demonic Cultivation

The demon was capable of actively refining natural energy rather than relying only on instinct.

• Possessed a Demon Core containing exceptionally pure Water-Aspect Heaven-and-Earth Force 395 400
• Grew stronger after consuming the Millennium Giant Ao’s flesh and refined blood 397 398

Relationships

• Fang Han — Initially evaded Fang Han’s attempt to steal Moonlight Essence, but was later lured ashore, killed, and harvested by him 358 397 399.

Story Role / Major Arcs

River God Festival

Its appearance confirms that the Dragon King Gang’s River God is real and exposes the horrifying purpose behind the annual child sacrifices. 32

Ghost Gate Crossing

The Flood Dragon establishes itself as the true apex predator of Ghost Gate Crossing by killing the Millennium Giant Ao. Its Moonlight Essence cultivation also reveals that it possesses advanced demonic intelligence and cultivation ability. 357 358

Hunt and Death

Its possible Demon Core becomes Fang Han’s incentive to hunt it. Fang Han ultimately kills the creature in shallow water, gains its core and essence, forms a Blood Core, and uses the core’s Water-Aspect Heaven-and-Earth Force to reach Perfected Transformed Force. 395 397 399 400

Remains

Fang Han salvaged the most valuable portions of the corpse before discarding the rest into the river. 400

• Two developing black horns 400
• A section of reverse scale 400
• Spinal bones 400
• Two hard teeth 400
• A large piece of dragon skin 400
• Flood dragon meat, later used as a potent food supplement 401 409

Trivia

• Water Flood Dragons are lower-grade demon creatures between giant snakes and true Flood Dragon Demons; ordinary Dark Strength martial artists can handle them, unlike a true Flood Dragon Demon. 216
• Its remains were stored in a White Jade Compartment at Myriad Treasures Pavilion to prevent decay and preserve their future crafting value. 402
• The Dragon King River Flood Dragon Demon is distinct from the Black-Scaled Flood Dragon Demon associated with Black Dragon Pool. 206 209
