If mortality is considered a drawback, then this is one of the greatest flaws of the Dark Evil Dragon Seal. Most of the people who have had this dragon technique imprinted on them... no, that's not right!

Jack Carter thought about it seriously—not most, but almost all of them died! Ordinary dragon technique imprints are dangerous, but the risk is very low.

However, this dragon technique is extremely dangerous! Or rather, having this dragon technique imprinted on a dragon warrior’s body is no different from seeking death. The requirements for the recipient are extremely harsh—even if a dragon warrior fully meets the conditions, there is only a fifty percent chance of a successful imprint. Failure, of course, still means death.

Even for those who succeed, every time they activate the dark state, their combat power will temporarily regress by about seven to ten percent for ten days after activation, and will automatically recover after ten days. This can also be considered a flaw of the Dark Evil Dragon Seal. If each use makes a person more violent, exuding a cold-blooded aura that disregards life, and that too is considered a flaw, then all of the above together make up all the flaws of the Dark Evil Dragon Seal.

Eric Carter is a genius among the Dragon Xuan, a combination of dragon technique master and dragon warrior! Even in Longmen, a place gathering the most talented figures from the four great dragon cities, he is still one of the rarest geniuses in a thousand years!

Countless genius “martyrs” once tried to develop a dragon technique that could enter the dark state and exit safely, but no one ever succeeded—only Eric Carter did!

Although his success came at the cost of experimenting on more than three thousand lives, he still succeeded in the end.

After successfully developing the dragon technique, Eric Carter never thought of perfecting it, of making it flawless. Instead, he left behind a single sentence: “The useless have no reason to live.”

And so, he began new research into dragon techniques, until he developed the forbidden art of immortality. When it was discovered that he was using living people for experiments, he left Longmen.

The complex dragon seal was completed rapidly. Eric Carter extended his index and middle fingers, with strange currents swirling at his fingertips. Those two fingers looked just like the dragon fangs of the legendary divine dragon, and suddenly stabbed into William Clark’s chest.

Puff!

Two drops of elite blood welled up from William Clark’s chest, but were instantly forced back by the dragon technique. William Clark’s body shuddered violently, his fists clenched tightly from the pain, veins bulging on the backs of his hands, all his muscles tensed in an instant, and the veins on his forehead throbbed as well.

Pain! Pain! Pain!

William Clark opened his mouth, wanting to roar, but found he couldn’t make any sound at all. At that moment, his blood was circulating at ten times its normal speed. An indescribable, exhilarating power was igniting his blood, making it feel as if it were burning, and that burning was filled with strength.

A most primal wildness was rapidly multiplying in his blood.

At this moment, William Clark seemed to hear a dragon-like roar—that roar... was in his blood. Inside his body, it was as if there was a dragon!

The shock of that dragon’s roar seemed to always be right by his ear, yet also as if it had traveled through prehistoric history, through endless time and space, before finally reaching him.

Power! William Clark swallowed hard, a mysterious power beginning to awaken within him, and an indescribable, proud will surged into his mind.

Clang... clang... clang...

William Clark’s body trembled and convulsed uncontrollably. The rapidly increasing strength made the iron shackles on his arms no longer feel as unbreakable as before—they seemed as if he could break free at any moment.

“Good, very good!” Eric Carter’s eyes, full of evil energy, began to flash with excitement. Watching the dragon pattern rapidly spreading across William Clark’s chest, even Eric Carter could hardly believe it—a person who had never cultivated dragon power, relying solely on his powerful innate dragon blood and mental will, had actually allowed his dragon technique imprint to take hold.

It had never happened before! Eric Carter knew very well that in the history of the Dragon Xuan, there had never been a successful imprint on someone who had not yet cultivated dragon power to become a dragon warrior! On the other hand, there were countless cases of people dying from their bodies exploding.

Every generation of Dragon Xuan has its share of heretics who use people for live experiments. Eric Carter knew he was not the first, and definitely would not be the last! There had been some Dragon Xuan who tried to imprint dragon techniques on ordinary people, but all had failed.

The Dark Evil Dragon Seal quickly spread across William Clark’s entire body, then rapidly retracted to his chest, finally leaving behind two black marks resembling dragon fangs, and stopped moving.

The imprint was successful! The excitement in Eric Carter’s evil-filled eyes grew even deeper. He took a deep breath, and his hands began forming even stranger and faster dragon technique seals.

“Seize the body and be reborn, split heaven and earth, dragon soul as one, undying and indestructible!”

All seven orifices of Eric Carter simultaneously emitted dazzling, strange, and demonic light. That light illuminated the entire room, making the previously glaring lights seem dim and dull in comparison, presenting a bizarre scene where the glow of fireflies dared to compete with the true brilliance of the full moon.
