Eternal Life (永生) Ch. 65

Killing With Sound

Within Fang Han’s mind, there first appeared the apparitions of eight heavenly dragons! These eight dragons were incomparably mighty, their beards, golden scales, claws, and long horns giving off auras of great age and having experienced everything. Their expressions looked down upon everything. Just a glance and one would feel that these dragons were sacred and n.o.ble, able to get rid of all of the circulating Devils. After these eight dragons appeared, they constantly let out great roars, each one emitting a different sound. Furthermore, each roar was made up of hundreds if not thousands of syllables. It was as if they were the origins of a great path of sound within the profoundness of the world.

Afterwards, Fang Han learned of an extreme amount of mnemonic rhymes.

Rouse the lungs, suck in the abdomen, lower breathing rate, dominate the dantian, stimulate the jia’ji point, condense the spirit, the changes of the eight dragons, reconstruct the syllables, a long segment of script. Although it was mysterious, it detailedly instructed how to control strength, how to p.r.o.nounce, and how to visualize the spirit and coordinate it with the body’s movements to let the spirit’s thoughts and body quickly work together.

[TL: The dantian (group of points) and jia’ji point are both traditional chinese points thought to stimulate the body]

Towards Fang Han who had cultivated to the ‘G.o.dly Transformation’ stage, this wasn’t very complex as he had long since understood the movement of his muscles.

However, there were many parts of the ‘Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon’ with shocked him nonetheless.

He had thought that sound could only produced by the throat, nose, and the lower abdomen, but it could in fact also be produced by the intestines, as well as the back and arm. Even the armpits could produce sounds when pressed together. The same went for the legs, pelvis, etc. All of these places could produce sounds. Around the entire body, there were many more than eight places which could produce sounds! However, ordinary people weren’t able to do it in some areas because their muscles weren’t strong enough, and they lacked the membrane.

The methods for making the sounds of this ‘Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon’ required great physical ability. Only if one’s flesh and muscles were at a high enough level of being soft yet hard could these sounds be created.

Before long, Fang Han had a clear grasp over the tricks for producing these sounds, for coordinating his body and spirit, and the various mixes of these sounds. This was due to the fact that his cultivation now focused on his mind, causing his memory to be much clearer and his thinking ability to be much more shrewd than normal people. After figuring out the techniques, he went over it a few times until he became confident that he could execute it without error. He condensed his spirit, bending his body, his four limbs shaking, his spine cracking, his waist and legs extending and contracting. He executed the lower abdomen breathing technique, his lungs heaving, his nostrils full of circulating air.

Like this, Fang Han truly seemed to be like a dragon stretching in the sky. His form looked similar, and his intent was even more similar.

A series of rapid, violent, air tremoring, piercing syllables, like a sacred extinguis.h.i.+ng wave, a great calamity or punishment, burst out from within him. It was like millions of people shouting together, like tens of thousands of monsters roaring together, like tens of thousands of volcanoes erupting together, like tens of thousands of great dams discharging together!

“Wu! Gu! Ba! Ma! Hong! Ya! Dou! Po!”

The eight sounds of the heavenly dragon burst out.

As if a hurricane had blown up, the sound waves exploded outwards. It could clearly be seen, wave after wave of sound rippling outwards with Fang Han at the middle. They dispersed in the shape of a circle*. Compared to Fang Han’s roars just now, they were very clearly double the size. Furthermore, the will contained within the sound had become sharp to an unthinkable level. Compared to the disorganized roars from before, it was much more organized.

[TL: The author mentions that it is a 同心圆 which isn’t just a simple circle, but I don’t know what they are called. Image link: /old/cmkj/web-dnggsjyzz/a/a_1/a_1_6/a_1_6_01/a_1_6_01_03.files/image001.gif]

If the syllables of Fang Han’s disorganized roars just now were considered a mob of random people, then the current sounds of the ‘Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon’ could be considered an organized, disciplined, experienced, and trained, group of soldiers.

The fighting power was inconceivably different.

“Ah, my head hurts so much!”
