Chapter 493 Transformation into a True Dragon
In Lanyun City, a mighty aura rose from the Cloud Palace, shattering the clouds in the sky.

At this very moment, within the main hall, the ancient roar of a whale resounded through the void. A phantom image of a long whale appeared behind Jiang Chen, its mouth open, swallowing everything in its path, causing spiritual energy to surge wildly and forming a massive vortex centered on Jiang Chen.

Surrounded by the vortex, Jiang Chen remained calm, continuously refining the power within.

At a certain moment, a breath of white air was exhaled, and a domineering power emerged from Jiang Chen's body.

"After so much hard work, I've finally achieved a basic level of internal energy cultivation."

Opening his palm and looking at the milky-white qi in his hand, Jiang Chen revealed an undisguised smile.

"go with!"

Using his inner energy as a sword, Jiang Chen locked onto the distant rocks and casually pointed.

In the next instant, the sword energy pierced the air, traversing several miles, easily slicing off a corner of the mountain rock, and then turned back.

Seeing this scene, and playing with the returned internal energy, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

This aura appears gentle, like white clouds, but its essence is extremely domineering, far surpassing true qi and spiritual power.

"Using this Qi to suppress both internal and external forces, it serves as both armor and a sharp sword. Now that we have this Qi, the True Dragon Transformation can truly be put on the agenda."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to Burial Sand Lake.

The next instant, his figure vanished.

The moment Jiang Chen's true form stepped into Burial Sand Lake, the lake water surged, and the illusory dragon shadow appeared and disappeared beneath the vast lake surface. After such a long period of refinement, with the miraculous blessing brought by the Hundred Rivers Meridian Technique, the connection between the Mist Dragon and Burial Sand Lake became deeper and deeper.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he truly refined the low-grade treasure, the Nine Abyss Returning Flow Lamp, and mastered its power. It was precisely because of this that during this period, Burial Sand Lake was not suppressed by the larger sea of ​​sand, but instead further eroded the sea of ​​sand and expanded itself.

"The Heavenly Dipper True Form has thirty-six transformations, and I mainly use the dragon form for the first twelve transformations."

With eyes like lightning, Jiang Chen swept over the figures beneath Burial Sand Lake.

At this moment, besides the enormous dragon body of the Mist Dragon, eleven other figures emerged in the Burial Sand Lake. They were of various shapes and sizes, including oxen, deer, snakes, and eagles. The only thing they had in common was that they were all dragons, and dragon blood flowed through their veins.

After a period of adjustment, their auras had become subtly connected with the Mist Dragon's. Refining the demon skin and making it resonate to form a whole was originally what he was supposed to do. However, the Mist Dragon was a fragment of his soul, and he had made up for its shortcomings with a wisp of his own energy, so it could completely replace him in doing this task.

Compared to him, the Mist Dragon, possessing true dragon blood and hidden dragon nature, would undoubtedly be more likely to integrate those dragon-like demon skins into one.

"It's good to have a big tree to lean on. Without the Impermanence Sect, how easy would it be for me to gather these twelve true forms in a short period of time on my own?"

After carefully sensing the changes in the aura of the twelve demon skins, Jiang Chen couldn't help but shake his head.

As he revealed his Purple Mansion techniques and firmly established himself in the Western Regions, more and more people within the sect wanted to get close to him. Under these circumstances, the treasures he wanted to collect suddenly began to appear frequently, whether they were spatial treasures or demon skins that he had acquired before.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to refine twelve demon skins so quickly. After all, dragon-type demons aren't common, not to mention that he needed dragons with perfected Dao Foundation. "It was all about timing and luck. The great battle in the Boundless Sea actually helped me a lot."

As his gaze swept over the several demon skins, Jiang Chen couldn't help but marvel at the strange and wondrous nature of the world.

Although dragons may hide in mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, their numbers are not large. The true roots of dragons lie in the sea. Although the current overlord of the Boundless Sea is the Jellyfish Palace, true dragons once cultivated there. Although the true dragons are long gone, there are still some dragons like the Jiaolong.

"The mysteries of the True Dragon Transformation are already in my mind. What I need to do this time is to verify them. In addition, I also need to try to refine this True Dragon Horn."

With his mind in turmoil, Jiang Chen waved his sleeve and took out the pair of true dragon horns.

In the next instant, with a blur of movement and the presence of the true dragon horn, Jiang Chen walked directly into the depths of Burial Sand Lake.

Roar! The true dragon roared, and as Jiang Chen's true form entered the lake, the entire lake seemed to come alive. Twelve demonic shadows thrashed about within it, but it quickly returned to calm.

As time passed, the atmosphere around Burial Sand Lake became increasingly subtle. Not only did the surrounding beasts dare not approach, but even the various spirit fish in the lake were quieter than ever before, not daring to act recklessly, as if they were afraid of offending some being.

Meanwhile, in the deepest part of Burial Sand Lake, Jiang Chen, clad in demon skin and transformed into a dragon, continuously refined eleven more demon skins, trying and failing time and again to find the most delicate balance.

At a certain moment, the dragon roared, and Jiang Chen suddenly grasped that glimmer of inspiration.

In that instant, all eleven demon skins transformed into streams of light and surged into his dragon body.

With a snap, thanks to the demon skin, Jiang Chen's original dragon body began to transform. Claws and teeth grew, scales were newly formed, and his horns revealed a ferocious appearance. And this was only the surface.

As the true dragon took shape, the dragon nature was imprinted in his heart, and his soul changed. A pure and vast dragon might burst forth from Jiang Chen's body. The appearance of this pressure was far more astonishing than the change in appearance. After all, there were demons in the cultivation world that resembled true dragons, but the vast dragon might was a very distinct mark of a true dragon.

However, the power of the true dragon was not so easy to control. With the twelve demon skins covering his body at the same time, Jiang Chen felt an unprecedented pressure.

"The combination of twelve transformations into one is indeed extraordinary. If my foundation were not deep enough, I would probably have been crushed."

Sensing the changes within himself, Jiang Chen remained unmoved.

In the next instant, his Qi Sea trembled, and the Xuan Whale roared. Jiang Chen unleashed his full Qi to protect himself and suppress the twelve demon skins.

Roars echoed in Jiang Chen's soul, the remnants of the dragon-like demons' will, their last struggle under the suppression of the qi. However, it was impossible for them to shake Jiang Chen's mind.

A moment later, amidst mournful cries, the remaining wills of all the dragon-like demons were tamed, and the previously somewhat discordant demonic powers quickly transformed into a true unity.

When everything was complete, Jiang Chen's already violent aura surged even higher.

At this moment, his head resembled a camel, his antlers a deer, his eyes a rabbit, his ears a cow, his neck a snake, his belly a clam, his scales a carp, his claws an eagle, and his paws a tiger. His whole body exuded a majestic dragon aura, just like a legendary dragon. With every breath he took, he caused the Burial Sand Lake to ripple.

As his aura manifested, the celestial phenomena outside changed accordingly. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a torrential downpour began, demonstrating the power of the true dragon.
