Chapter 204

"The Second Trial of the Nine-Catastrophe Dragon Transformation Method—The Transformation Trial!"

In Brother Ning Chuan's mind, these ancient seal-script characters, brimming with infinite mystery and vibrant life, clearly emerged.

Instantly, his pale golden dragon pupils exploded with unrestrained delight and longing!

Transformation!

Shed this massive dragon-serpent body, and revert to human form!

To him, this held profound significance, far beyond mere strength enhancement.

He had once been human, and though he had gradually grown accustomed to the power and convenience of this dragon-serpent form,

deep within his heart, he still clung to a deep, unbreakable affection and yearning for his former human shape.

Moreover, now he was surrounded by Huang Rong, Wang Yuyan, Zhao Min, Dai Dai Qisi, Li Qiushui…

These stunning, enchanting beauties had all willingly submitted to him.

If he could not assume human form to... ahem, deeply communicate with them, would that not be a great regret in life?

Just imagining that tender, intimate scene, even Brother Ning Chuan's now tranquil and unshakable mind could not help but warm slightly.

"According to my calculations, the realm corresponding to this Transformation Trial should match the Land Immortal Realm of human martial cultivation."

Brother Ning Chuan carefully sensed the myriad details of the Transformation Trial in his mind, silently pondering.

"That means, once I successfully pass this second trial, not only will I regain human form, but my Strength Realm will truly reach the pinnacle of this world!"

"At that time, whether it's the Mongol Yuan Empire's Iron-Blooded Divine Marquis Zhu Wushi, or Xu Xiao of the Beiliang Wang Fu, or even those hidden, even more mysterious and powerful beings…"

"Before this Lord, they shall all be mere clay chickens and broken dogs, utterly powerless!"

"Yet, achieving this Transformation Trial will be far more difficult than the previous Dragon-Serpent Trial—by several times over!"

Brother Ning Chuan's brows furrowed slightly.

"According to the Nine-Catastrophe Dragon Transformation Method, to trigger the Transformation Trial, one must first reverse-cultivate and elevate the internal Dragon-Egg."

"Until it completes nine revolutions, transforming into a 'Transformation Demon-Egg' imbued with the origin of human form!"

"And each step of this reverse-cultivation, through nine revolutions, demands vast quantities of celestial spiritual energy to nourish and refine!"

"The celestial spiritual energy in this world is already exceedingly scarce."

"Although my created 【Moon Spirit Breathing Technique】 can absorb Lunar Yin Essence, its efficiency is still far too low to meet the demands of reverse-cultivating the Dragon-Egg."

"It seems this Breathing Technique must be further optimized and enhanced."

"Also, there is the 'Spirit Gathering Array.'"

Brother Ning Chuan's gaze turned toward the depths of Taohuadao.

"If I could create an array capable of actively gathering celestial spiritual energy, it would greatly accelerate my cultivation."

"In addition, continuing to devour celestial objects containing 370 pure energy, or sea creatures like the previous dark-gold giant crab, could also hasten this process."

Brother Ning Chuan's mind now held a clear plan for his future cultivation path.

"First, optimize the Breathing Technique!"

Brother Ning Chuan made his decision and immediately set to action.

By day, he had Huang Rong and Wang Yuyan comb through the vast ocean of texts sent from Taohuadao and the Quanzhen Sect.

Carefully searching for all records concerning Breathing and Qi Absorption, harvesting Sun and Moon essence, and energy transformation.

Especially the Xiaoyao Sect's Northern Darkness Divine Art, and certain Daoist Secret Techniques on transmuting alien energies.

The concepts and methods of these Cultivation Methods gave him immense inspiration.

The Northern Darkness Divine Art emphasizes absorbing all things, devouring others' internal power for one's own use, its core lying in the word "Devour."

This aligned perfectly with his dragon-serpent bloodline's devouring instinct, and the direction of his future demon-cultivation path.

If he could integrate the essence of devouring and transmutation from this art into his own Breathing Technique…

Under the moonlit night, Brother Ning Chuan once again coiled upon the seaside rocks.

He channeled the 【Moon Spirit Breathing Technique】, inhaling and exhaling the cold, pure Lunar Yin Essence.

Simultaneously, he carefully sensed the connection and transformation process between the lunar essence and his own dark-black Dragon-Egg.

Meanwhile, his mind rapidly deduced the mysteries of the Northern Darkness Divine Art and other numerous methods of energy devouring and refining.

Finally, on another night when the moon hung high,

when Brother Ning Chuan had pushed his understanding of the Northern Darkness Divine Art and his insight into Lunar Yin Essence to their utmost limits,

a sudden flash of enlightenment erupted in his mind!

【You have deeply comprehended the essence of devouring and transmutation in the Northern Darkness Divine Art…】

【You have combined the Moon Spirit Breathing Technique's ability to absorb Lunar Yin Essence…】

【You have discerned the method of simulating black hole gravity through specific frequencies of demonic energy flow, drastically enhancing energy absorption efficiency…】

【You have successfully created a more ruthless and efficient Lunar Yin Breathing Technique—Northern Darkness Swallowing Moon Technique!】

Northern Darkness Swallowing Moon Technique!

The instant the Cultivation Method was forged!

Brother Ning Chuan immediately began channeling the new method!

His massive dragon-serpent body seemed to transform into a bottomless black hole!

The Lunar Yin Essence in the surrounding void, and the scattered celestial spiritual energy,

as if drawn by an irresistible, immense gravitational force, surged wildly toward his body!

Forming visible streams of silver and (cbfe) pale blue energy!

Which he swallowed in one breath, all into his belly!
