Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 14: Great Dragon's Image Technique

If they were to meet again, Yang Ning would tell Tuobu Chuan that this Dragon Ball is not a Blood Dragon Ball, but a Purple Dragon Ball.

The Purple Dragon is the most noble lineage of the Dragon Race, the royal family within the Dragon Race.

The royal family has no surname, only a name. The Dragon Race to which this Dragon Ball belongs is called Zhao, the last generation of the Dragon Emperor's uncle. He was tasked by the emperor to research the source of the Nightmare Catastrophe and find a way to counter it.

Just by looking at this Dragon Ball, one can tell that he failed.

Yang Ning only saw a fundamental inheritance and a few fragments of memories.

"I have tried billions of methods, but none of them can affect the Nightmare Qi. All the experiments led to one result - Nightmare Transformation, Nightmare Transformation, Nightmare Transformation!"

This is a purple dragon that stretches for thousands of miles, surrounded by clouds, mist, and lightning, angrily churning in the air.

"Perhaps what my grandmother said is true. The Nightmare is the retribution for the Dragon Race's countless wars throughout hundreds of thousands of years. Therefore, the Nightmare Catastrophe is most harmful to the Dragon Race."

This is a purple dragon leaning against a huge white dragon, listening to teachings.

"The Ancestral Dragon created a new world and asked us to evacuate, but I don't want to leave. Give me a little more time, just a little more time."

Yang Ning saw a golden dragon that covered the sky, seemingly entwined with the universe. On its five claws, it was actually holding a galaxy!

The Ancestral Dragon can create the universe? But can such power not withstand the Nightmare Catastrophe?

"There are still forty thousand methods to be completed soon, but the sky and the earth have already been covered by Nightmare Qi. I have no more time!"

The world has become hazy, and nothing else can be seen!

"Dragons have already started to transform, and even the walls made of Dragon Soul Stones can't withstand the Nightmare Qi!"

In a gloomy palace, the orange-yellow stones began to turn gray, and the eyes of the Dragon Race around him started to turn black.

"I don't need to experiment to know that the remaining twenty thousand methods are useless, but I just can't accept it!"

It's still that dragon, looking at the Nightmare Qi that has already spread towards him, feeling despair.

"Perhaps there is one last method."

Yang Ning seemed to transform into that purple dragon, leaping towards the densest mist, and at the same time, using a supreme Dao Technique that the Dragon Race fundamentally does not need but indeed belongs to the Dragon Race!

"Dragon Transformation!"

"He failed?"

"No, he succeeded!"

Yang Ning looked at the Dragon Ball spinning in the Spirit Realm, filled with admiration.

Dragon Transformation is the final step for other races to evolve into the Dragon Race. This step requires stirring the Dragon Race bloodline within oneself, absorbing the power of heaven and earth, and sacrificing one's own luck. Under the desperate situation, there is a chance to leap over the Dragon Gate and transform into a true dragon.

The probability is extremely low, and the cost of failure is death with no possibility of reincarnation.

Therefore, many dragon species stop at the Flood Dragon stage. After all, Flood Dragons are also powerful and can live for a long time. There is no need to risk it with that final step.

As a natural dragon species and a member of the Dragon Emperor's lineage, Zhao naturally does not need this secret technique.

But he thought of it. Dragon Transformation is a leap that integrates the power of heaven and earth within oneself and relies on luck to create miracles.

He no longer has the power of heaven and earth around him, only the Nightmare Qi remains!

So when he used the Dragon Transformation secret technique, he wanted to integrate with the Nightmare Qi, not to be eroded, but to truly integrate!

Leaping over the Dragon Gate is a miracle. How can it not be a miracle to integrate with the Nightmare Qi?

Clearly, he failed. Even the Dragon Emperor's bloodline couldn't withstand the erosion of the Nightmare Qi, let alone the overwhelming influx caused by the Dragon Transformation secret technique.

But as a member of the Dragon Emperor's lineage, his luck ultimately created a miracle.

Burning luck ultimately led to the perfect integration of the Dragon Ball and the Nightmare Qi, giving birth to a unique miracle in this world.

A Dragon Ball perfectly integrated with the Nightmare Qi, a true Nightmare Dragon Ball!

"Amazing!" After reading Zhao's memory fragments, Yang Ning was dumbfounded. He didn't expect such a method to exist, directly integrating with the catastrophe and transforming into the catastrophe itself?

But in the next moment, he felt a great sense of regret.

Because when Zhao integrated with the Nightmare Qi, the Dragon Race in the Extreme Eternal World had already been almost wiped out, and the remaining few Dragon Race members had also left this world. In other words, Zhao's luck had almost run out.

With just this bit of luck, it led to the integration of the Dragon Ball and the Nightmare Qi. If Zhao had used the Dragon Transformation secret technique during the peak of the Dragon Race, could he have transformed into a true Nightmare Dragon?

Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back. Missed opportunities are missed opportunities.

And Yang Ning had to keep this secret and not let the remaining Dragon Race members know.

After all, if they were able to annihilate the entire Dragon Race, the Nightmare Catastrophe must be a formidable force. Now that he had the Nightmare Dragon Ball in his hands, he had the possibility of using it.

If they were to know that the "Dragon Transformation" secret technique can integrate with the Nightmare Qi and create more Nightmare Dragons, what advantage would he have left?

Moreover, the relationship between humans and the Dragon Race is not good. Whether in public or in private, he must keep this secret.

After reading the memory fragments, Yang Ning immediately began to receive the Dragon Race inheritance. The Dragon Ball is the Dao Fruit condensed from the Dragon Race's Dao techniques. Naturally, it contains the inheritance of the Dragon Race, and the Nightmare Dragon Ball is no exception.

And the inheritance contained within this Dragon Ball is actually an unparalleled Dao Technique formed by the integration of seven supreme Dao Techniques!

Imperial Dragon Qi Observation Technique

White Dragon's Absorption Method

Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body

Azure Dragon's World-Shaking Fist

Crimson Dragon's Crimson Cloud Force

Nether Dragon's Carefree Roam

Sky Dragon's Apocalypse Sound

Collectively known as: Great Dragon's Image Technique!

"What the hell?" Yang Ning was shocked. What does it mean to have an unsurpassed Dao Technique?

The Extreme Eternal Sect, a sect that has produced immortals, has a supreme Dao Technique as its main inheritance.

Dao Techniques, also known as Divine Abilities, are divided into five levels from top to bottom: Supreme Level, Unparalleled Level, Heaven Level, Earth Level, and Human Level.

With a Human Level Dao Technique, one can dominate a mountain and rule over an area.

With an Earth Level Dao Technique, one can establish a sect and found a school.

With a Heaven Level Dao Technique, one can dominate a province and roam freely.

With an unparalleled Dao Technique, one can rank among the top ten sects. In other words, in the current Extreme Eternal World, only the top ten sects possess unparalleled Dao Techniques.

And now, Yang Ning also possesses an unsurpassed Dao Technique!

Of course, he cannot immediately cultivate this Dao Technique. After all, it is a Dragon Race technique, and it requires some effort to adapt it for human use, commonly known as translation.

The difficulty of translation varies depending on the level of the technique. Translating a Human Level Dao Technique has already become an industry chain. If one is not afraid of leaks, they can easily find a translation agency on the street.

Translating an Earth Level Dao Technique poses a certain level of difficulty and generally requires the efforts of three or four generations of inheritance.

Translating a Heaven Level Dao Technique requires a large family to study for hundreds of years.

As for an unparalleled Dao Technique, it is beyond the scope of ordinary people's research. It usually requires the efforts of dozens or even hundreds of peerless geniuses, or the collective research of ten major immortal sect-level sects for a decade or more.

As for an unsurpassed Dao Technique, the experience of the First Heaven Sect can serve as a reference.

Thirty-two thousand years ago, the First Heaven Sect obtained an unsurpassed Dao Technique. They used the reason of opening up a new path in the Extreme Eternal World to vigorously promote education. It took them 170 years to cultivate over 40 million cultivators. Then, they gathered the most outstanding 200,000 people and conducted closed-door research for 46 years before finally successfully translating the unsurpassed Dao Technique.

The entire process was undoubtedly arduous. After all, cultivators require a large amount of food in the Physical Body Realm and a large amount of spiritual energy in the Qi Refining Realm.

The birth of 40 million cultivators came at the cost of 132 years of famine in the territory of the First Heaven Sect, followed by a population decline for 155 years. The spiritual stones in the Tianyi Continent were almost depleted, and the mainland was invaded by neighboring sects, including the Extreme Yin Sect across the sea.

Not only did they invade the mainland, but at the most dangerous moment, two-thirds of the territory was lost!

Fortunately, the unsurpassed Dao Technique was eventually born, and a peerless genius successfully cultivated it, breaking through all barriers and becoming a True Immortal.

With a True Immortal presiding, all the previous efforts paid off.

Does Yang Ning have 200,000 people?

No.

Does he have a sect behind him?

No.

But Yang Ning is still confident because he has methodology, the Spirit Realm, and the artificial intelligence Deep Blue.

Replacing the work of 200,000 people with artificial intelligence is a piece of cake, isn't it?

And he didn't come up with everything out of thin air. There are plenty of Dragon Race techniques that have been translated in this world.

Unsurpassed Dao Techniques, peerless Dao Techniques, Heaven Level, and even Earth Level techniques are kept confidential. However, Human Level techniques can be found in shops in the market, especially in large sects like the Extreme Eternal Sect. Human Level techniques have no value and are sold casually in the market.

Countless predecessors have translated numerous techniques, and with their experience as a reference, Yang Ning believes that it is only a matter of time before he translates this "Great Dragon's Image Technique".

Putting aside the "Great Dragon's Image Technique," Yang Ning turned his attention to the Dragon Ball in his hand.

According to reason, after recognizing its master, the Dragon Ball should appear in the sea of consciousness, but his Dragon Ball appeared in the Spirit Realm.

Perhaps the Spirit Realm is not incapable of collecting items; it just needs to complete the master recognition process first?

Or perhaps the Spirit Realm also has some functions of the sea of consciousness.

The Dragon Race controls wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning, and the Purple Dragon is particularly skilled in judgment and punishment, especially in thunder penalties.

With the Dragon Ball in hand, Yang Ning felt that he could manipulate wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning with just a thought, as if it were instinctive. He could even control his own bioelectricity. When his brain gave an order, his body would disobey.

"So in the future, I should focus on water, thunder, and wind-based Dao Techniques in my cultivation." Yang Ning sought longevity, not omnipotence. The path to longevity is as basic as it gets, but when it comes to combat, having external assistance is necessary. There's no need to specialize in fire if water is good at healing and protection, thunder is good at controlling attacks, and wind is good at speed. These three attributes are versatile enough.

As for the Nightmare attribute after integrating with the Integrated Union, Yang Ning didn't notice any usefulness.

Perhaps it's because the Nightmare Tribulation hasn't arrived, and there is no Nightmare Qi in the world?
