It has antlers like a deer, a head like a cow, and eyes like a shrimp.
The mouth is like a donkey, the belly is like a snake, and the scales are like a fish.
The feet are like a phoenix, the beard is like a human, and the ears are like an elephant.
As the five-clawed fire dragon appeared, a vast coercion suddenly descended. Everyone within a kilometer radius felt as if their souls were being suppressed by something, and an inexplicable sense of fear arose in their hearts.
"What...what is this??"
People looked at the five-clawed fire dragon suspended in mid-air in horror.
Compared with the previous flame image, this five-clawed fire dragon is completely a living creature, a living majestic beast.
At this time, the newly formed five-clawed fire dragon seemed to be alive. It looked up to the sky and let out a dragon roar. All the beasts within a thousand miles were suddenly frightened and trembled on the ground.
It was really a huge dragon roaring, and all the beasts were terrified.
Even the eight-winged white phosphorus python transformed from King Naga felt an instinctive fear, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Why?"
"Why does this strange beast make me feel a fear from my soul? What is it?"
King Naga roared in his heart, suppressing the trembling in his heart, and fluttered his eight pairs of wings, turning into a white lightning, and instantly rushed towards the five-clawed fire dragon.
"No matter who you are or what your background is, you must die today. You must die. Roar——"
"Well done, Reptile!"
The five-clawed fire dragon stepped into the air with four claws. A trace of disdain flashed in its eyes. The dragon's tail flicked fiercely and it meandered forward. It arrived first and appeared in front of the eight-winged white phosphorus python in an instant.
Then, tear it off with one claw.
"Pfft——"
The sharp dragon claws easily cut open the white phosphorus python's body, creating a long gash. Blood flew out, and the white phosphorus python roared in pain. A snake tail turned into a steel whip and whipped hard at the five-clawed fire dragon.
Seeing this, the five-clawed fire dragon opened its mouth and spit out a stream of flames. The snake's tail was instantly submerged. The originally ordinary flames, under the blessing of the wood element law, became extraordinary and burned the white phosphorus python.
He screamed repeatedly, and the white snake body turned black.
"Wood helps the fire. Although I am not good at fire laws, but with the blessing of wood laws, my flames are enough to burn you to death!"
The dragon's eyes were full of disdain. While the white phosphorus python was screaming in pain, the five-clawed fire dragon slashed its sharp claws at its body again, causing another hideous wound.
"Roar--"
The white phosphorus python screamed in pain.
"Stab-"
"Roar--"
"Stab-"
The people watching the battle were stunned.
This isn't a battle, it's clearly a one-sided massacre!
No matter how the white-scaled python attacked, defended, evaded, and struggled, it was of no use. Regardless of speed, strength, reaction, or defense, he was crushed by the five-clawed fire dragon.
It can be said that they care about one thing and not the other. They care about the snake's tail but not the snake's body. They care about the snake's body but not the snake's head...
After a few rounds, the white-scaled python's snow-white body was already dripping with blood and had dozens of deep and bone-deep cracks.
His aura dropped again and again, and his speed and strength also dropped sharply. It looked like he couldn't last more than a few rounds!
At this time, the white-scaled python finally began to retreat after a sharp neigh. He turned into a stream of white light and escaped hundreds of meters away. Then it suddenly dissipated and turned back into the Naga King.
However, King Naga was not in a good condition at this moment. There was blood on the corner of his mouth, and blood dripping all over his body. He was also breathing heavily, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"You...who are you? You are not an Atlantean at all. Atlanteans do not have this kind of transformation ability!"
Atlantis has existed in the lost world for tens of thousands of years. Although it is only a small tribe, it has prospered several times. At its strongest, it was not much weaker than the six-armed Naga tribe.
However, it has never been reported that Atlanteans have the ability to transform or have the blood of mythical beasts.
Ying Yue flicked his dragon tail and transformed back into a human. He looked at the Naga King indifferently and was very satisfied with this change!
What King Naga didn't know was that Ying Yue's transformation was not a transformation, but a technique of transformation. To be precise, it was the famous Seventy-Two Transformations.
The seventy-two transformations are the great sage’s special skill and the real immortal art of transformation. The seventy-two transformations are just a general term. When truly extended, they can be ever-changing and can become anything!
It is said that when Sun Dasheng learned the art of immortality from Patriarch Subhuti, he did not truly live forever. Only by escaping the "three disasters" can he live forever!
The "three disasters" are the three major catastrophes set by heaven during the cultivation process of cultivators, specifically referring to: thunder catastrophe, fire catastrophe, and wind catastrophe. Only by surviving these three disasters can one truly live forever.
In order to live forever, Sun Dasheng asked Patriarch Bodhi for advice on how to avoid the three disasters. Finally, he learned the seventy-two transformations, successfully avoided the three disasters, and gained eternal life!
After Ying Yue received Sun Dasheng's memory inheritance, he naturally also obtained the method of seventy-two transformations. However, his cultivation has always been shallow, and even if he has the method, he has never been able to learn it.
Only when he was promoted to the realm of deity, did Ying Yue truly understand that there was a huge difference between the seventy-two transformations and the ordinary transformation techniques——
Generally, the art of transformation is just similar in form.
In other words, when you become a dragon, you only become a dragon, not a real dragon. You only have the appearance of a dragon, but not the power of a dragon.
But the Seventy-Two Transformations are different. They are not only similar in appearance, but also similar in spirit.
In other words, once you become a dragon, you are a real dragon. Not only do you have the appearance of a dragon, but you also possess all the magical powers of a dragon, which is extremely magical and powerful.
The difference is so huge that the cultivation conditions are naturally extremely harsh. One of them is that if you want to become something, you must obtain the essence and blood of this thing.
Obtaining its natal essence and blood, blending it into one's own body, and combining it with one's own bloodline is equivalent to possessing the characteristics of this thing. Only when it changes, can it truly be regarded as "spiritually similar"!
For example, if you want to transform into a dragon, you must obtain the dragon's natal essence and blood, and integrate the dragon's blood into your body through the special method of seventy-two transformations.
Once it changes, it becomes a real dragon.
If you want to become other mythical beasts, the same principle applies!
Of course, the essence and blood here refers to the fact that you need the assistance of essence and blood to change things that are stronger than yourself, but there is no need to change simple things!
Transforming into rocks, trees and other dead objects is only the most superficial method. Any transformation technique can be done, and turning into these has no meaning to the immortals.
"It's called seventy-two changes, but it's actually ever-changing, and the seventy-two here actually refers to the seventy-two kinds of strange beasts in the world!"
Ying Yue murmured to himself: "These seventy-two kinds of strange beasts are the darlings of heaven and earth. Each of them has great magic power, great supernatural powers, and also has its own unique ability. If you want to transform into them, and have the same
The ability is extremely difficult, and ordinary transformation techniques cannot be achieved at all, but the seventy-two transformations have been achieved!
Not only are they similar in appearance, but also similar in spirit. Once transformed, they will become the real seventy-two kinds of strange beasts in the world.
Therefore, the reputation of the Seventy-two Transformations also comes from this!"
PS: This is some personal understanding of the Seventy-two Changes. What do you think?
If you feel it is inappropriate or insufficient, suggestions are welcome, but don't curse.
Finally, the Seventy-two Transformations are just pure transformation techniques, and have little to do with the Seventy-two Earthly Evil Techniques in the Ancient Immortals Tongjian, which are Taoist and magical powers.
