Within Fang Han's mind, the phantoms of eight Heavenly Dragons appeared first! These eight Heavenly Dragons were incomparably fierce, with whiskers, golden scales, claws, and long horns. Their temperament was of the ancient vicissitudes, and their demeanor disdained everything. Just a glance made one feel they were sacred and noble, dispelling all demonic auras. After these eight Heavenly Dragons appeared, they continually let out long chants. Every Heavenly Dragon emitted a completely different sound, and each type of long chanting sound was composed of hundreds or thousands of syllables, seemingly like the origin sound of the Great Dao in the unseen world.
Subsequently, many characters of the incantation also became known to Fang Han.
"Drum the lung qi, shrink the lower abdomen, lower the breath, dominate the dantian, move the spine, condense the spirit, the eight dragons transform, syllables reorganize…" A large passage of incantation, although abstruse, mostly detailed how to exert force, how to vocalize, how to visualize the spirit, and how to coordinate with body movements to achieve a highly synchronized method between spiritual intention and the body.
For Fang Han, who had cultivated to the Spirit Transformation realm, this did not seem complex, because having cultivated martial arts, he had long understood the methods of muscle movement.
However, many aspects of these "Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon" still shocked him.
It turned out that vocalization was not limited to the throat, nasal cavity, and lower abdomen; the stomach and intestines could also vocalize. Even the back and shoulders, or squeezing the two armpits together, could produce sound. The legs, the pelvis—all these places could vocalize. The places on the entire body that could vocalize numbered as many as eight! Ordinary people, however, could not vocalize in other parts of their bodies because their muscle and tendon strength was insufficient, and they had not forged "membranes".
This method of vocalizing the "Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon" required extremely strong physical stamina and highly flexible muscles to be executed.
In a short while, he grasped the techniques of vocalization, the secrets of coordinating body and spirit, and the coordination of various syllables. This was also because his cultivation had now reached his brain; his memory was clear, and his thinking was much more agile than ordinary people. After clearly memorizing these incantations, images, and techniques, and recalling them a few times, Fang Han was confident he could accurately and flawlessly execute the "Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon." First, he concentrated his spirit; then he arched his body, shook his four limbs, continually squeezed his spine, stretched and retracted his waist and legs, expanded and contracted his lower abdomen, thundered his lungs, and filled his nasal and oral cavities to the brim with breath.
His appearance exactly resembled a divine dragon stretching in the sky. The form was similar, but the intent was even more so.
A series of rapid, violent, vibrating syllables—containing intents of sharpness, sacredness, great destruction, great punishment, and great execution—burst forth from his body. It was like millions of people roaring madly together, thousands of monsters howling together, thousands of volcanoes erupting together, and thousands of dams discharging floods together!
"Wu! Gu! Ba! Ma! Hong! Ya! Dou! Po!"
The Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon burst forth.
A hurricane suddenly rose, and sonic waves erupted. One could distinctly see ripples of vibrating sonic waves radiating outwards in concentric circles with Fang Han at the center. This sound, compared to Fang Han's giant roar just now, was clearly fully twice as loud. Moreover, the willpower contained within the sound was unimaginably sharp. Compared to the indiscriminate giant roars from before, it was much more organized.
If the syllables of Fang Han's indiscriminate giant roars just now were a rabble of chaotic rioters, then the current "Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon" were an organized, disciplined elite force that had undergone a thousand temperings and hundreds of refinements!
The combat power naturally could not be mentioned in the same breath.
"Ah, my head hurts so much!"
"What kind of sound is this!"
"So ear-piercing, so painful! Even my heart was stimulated for a moment."
"How could a person emit such a sharp sound…"
The sounds of the "Pine Wave Qin" and "Cloud Water Flute" were entirely drowned out by the Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon. Hearing this sound, the expressions of the several female disciples changed drastically, becoming deathly pale, as if all their blood had been drained away in an instant. It was for no other reason than the Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon being too sharp. That sound was like sharp razor blades slicing through their brains. They could not imagine why a person could emit such a terrifying sound.
"Quickly cover your ears!"
The expressions of the two female disciple leaders, Xu Yue'er and Ye Yu, changed suddenly. Their strength was high, their bodies were good, and their spirits were resilient. They hurriedly blew the flute and played the qin fiercely, attempting to use the qin and flute sounds to neutralize the Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon. Otherwise, those female disciples among them with slightly lower cultivation—only at the Divine Bravery realm—might be turned into idiots by the shock of the sound.
However, these female disciples were fine. Having physical bodies, the damage from the Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon to them was not highly significant. But those Heavenly Demons suffered miserably! The Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon swept across on the spot! Instantly dispersing the Heavenly Demons that had condensed into a mass and turned into a spinning top to pursue and kill.
Those Heavenly Demons dropped toward the ground like raindrops. Bang bang bang bang, they turned into hideous human bodies, mangled in blood and flesh, unable to move.
As for those four or five Heavenly Demon leaders, they barely managed to fly up into the sky like drunken birds, but their speed was greatly reduced, swaying from side to side, evidently having suffered extremely severe injuries.
"Phew, phew… How does these Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon consume so much physical energy? With my current stamina, even if I roared for a day and a night, I wouldn't necessarily be tired. Now I'm exhausted to death."
After Fang Han roared the "Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon," he only felt extreme physical exhaustion. Even his head was groggy and heavy, feeling as if his stamina was depleted and he needed to sleep and rest. Ever since he achieved success in martial arts, he had never felt like this.
"Originally, these Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon is a method to release potential and trigger maximum explosive power! This is only because you have eaten the Nine Orifices Golden Pill. Otherwise, if an ordinary Spirit Transformation expert used it, they would immediately collapse from exhaustion, fall severely ill, and need half a month of recuperation to recover. However, this is your first time using it, and you have not yet grasped the profound subtleties within it. Wait until you become an inner sect disciple and learn the Yuhua Sect's Long Song of Righteousness to verify with it. You will integrate them all perfectly. By then, once you emit a sound, you can turn all experts within a hundred paces who haven't cultivated to the Divine Bravery realm into idiots."
Yan explained in fine detail: "Quick, you still have a handful of strength left. Hurry up and capture these Heavenly Demons, especially those four or five Heavenly Demon leaders. Quick! Quick! Quick!"
Fang Han also knew it was harvest season. With a movement of his body, the Heavenly Wolf Battle Armor dispersed, turning into sky-filling black smoke threads that shot out explosively everywhere, like a massive net covering the sky and earth. Instantly, all those Heavenly Demons that had fallen to the ground were tied up one by one and pulled back.
At the same time, those four or five Heavenly Demon leaders flying unsteadily and trying to escape were also captured together and entirely collected into the Seven Malignant Gourd.
Originally, after the Heavenly Wolf Smoke turned into black threads, its power was greatly reduced, and it would be impossible to tie up a complete Heavenly Demon. But now, these Heavenly Demons had all been injured by the Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon, their power greatly reduced, so they were all completely captured.
After collecting them into the gourd, Fang Han wrapped himself up entirely, impenetrable by wind or rain, and then quietly poured all those Heavenly Demons directly into the Yellow Spring River.
He used the Heavenly Wolf Smoke to wrap himself to prevent his actions after collecting the Heavenly Demons from being clearly seen by these eight female disciples of the Jialan Society, which might arouse suspicion in their hearts. Wrapped like this, no aura of the Crouching Dragon Yellow Spring Map could be seen.
