The light under the sun may be dazzling, but it cannot be overshadowed.
A series of earth-shattering bolts of solar lightning crashed down from the sky, striking Dragon City with deafening force. The seemingly indestructible palace, which stood alone in this world, crumbled like scraps of paper in the brilliance of the solar lightning, turning into dust.
The enormous dragons were like sleeping wolves encountering a vicious wolf before the sun's lightning. The rampaging lightning easily pierced through their scales, leaving their flesh and blood a mangled mess, and they collapsed to the ground, barely alive.
"Bang!"
Long Man fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood from the corner of his mouth from time to time, looking very disheveled.
Bai Hao slowly walked up to it, put Qian Jing and Qian Ye away, and looked calmly at the dying Long Man. He said indifferently, "Originally, with the fall of Venerable Bai Long, our grudges should have ended here. I just didn't expect that I would encounter your True Dragon Clan one day. And now, you can only blame yourselves for this situation."
The true dragon race, which once ruled the world, has now fallen to such a state. Not only has it lost its former glory, but even its last bloodline is almost extinct. It is truly ironic.
But if they hadn't attacked Bai Hao, perhaps you wouldn't be in this situation today.
The enormous dragon's mouth opened and closed slightly, and Long Man's weak voice carried a hint of resentment: "I never thought that you would actually... be able to obtain two divine artifacts from the Divine Origin Dynasty."
"To be honest, we should thank you for this. If you hadn't sent Venerable White Dragon to the Divine Radiance Continent, we wouldn't have come into contact with this world, and we wouldn't have obtained these two weapons. To be precise, this is the result of your own actions." Bai Hao looked at Long Man expressionlessly, without the slightest pity.
This outcome is entirely of their own making. If they hadn't taken action, even if Bai Hao knew they were true dragons, he might not have acted.
But since Long Man made the first move, coupled with the grudges between Bai Long and the Venerable One, it has finally escalated to a life-or-death situation.
Bai Hao has won now.
"Ahem... You win this time, but it's far from over. Living in this cursed world, no matter how capable you are, you can't escape your fate. We'll be waiting for you in another world... Hahaha—!"
Long Man's laughter stopped abruptly.
It died.
In the vast Dragon City, all the true dragons have perished.
The surrounding lanterns went out, and without the light of fire, they lost their ability to resist the separation of souls from their bodies. The souls that had separated from their bodies were attracted and swarmed towards them.
Solar lightning crackled around Bai Hao, quickly forming a protective shield around him to keep the surging souls from leaving his body.
But the surrounding true dragons were helpless. A large number of souls separated from their bodies surged over and devoured their flesh and blood, absorbing the remaining power within them.
Perhaps the bloodline of divine beasts has a great attraction for souls separated from their bodies, which is why so many souls have gathered around Dragon City, and the Dragon Barbarians had no choice but to build Dragon City here.
Even though they themselves feared the solar lightning, they still used it to create a lantern and hung it around Dragon City to ward off these mad souls leaving their bodies.
Perhaps it is because humans have a deep-seated hatred for mythical beasts that even if they lose their humanity and become souls separated from their bodies, they still regard mythical beasts as mortal enemies!
Silently watching this insane scene unfold before him, Bai Hao did not intervene. Instead, he allowed the numerous souls separated from their bodies to devour all the true dragons, leaving not even bones behind.
This is also what happens after death in this world.
If Bai Hao were to die one day, his fate would be one of two things—either he would become a soul separated from his body, or he would be devoured by the soul separated from his body, leaving no trace of his corpse.
Long Man was right when he said that in such a cursed world, fate has already been decided. Living is not necessarily better than dying, and even leaving behind a complete corpse after death is a luxury.
With a sigh, Bai Hao shook his head and left Dragon City, continuing on his way...
The sun always hangs in the sky.
It was a ball of fire, formed by the sun god Liuli who banished the last wisp of the chaotic world to the heavens and condensed it. To this day, no one can touch that ball of sun, nor can anyone obtain the power of the original flame.
All living beings illuminated by the sun can only glimpse its divine power through the blessings of the sun god.
Suddenly the wind started to blow.
A fine, inky rain blew down in the wind, and the rain grew heavier and heavier, finally darkening the sky and giving it a hint of night.
Bai Hao walked in the heavy rain, the solar lightning forming a protective shield around him, blocking the corrosive rainwater.
The earth is being eroded by this rain, and nothing can escape it.
The trees that had just sprouted new buds and the tender green shoots that had just turned green were completely corroded and lost their life in the rain.
This is a cursed rain that can wipe out all life!
Only those whose souls had left their bodies were unaffected by the black rain. On the contrary, they even liked the black rain, eagerly bathing in it, as if they could find satisfaction from the depths of their souls in it...
Silently I walked past one lifeless hill after another, past one dilapidated city after another, but I could no longer see a city like Dragon City.
Of the three great mythical beast races, it seems that only the True Dragon race remains today, while the other two mythical beast races have disappeared.
Along the way, Bai Hao also saw many huge skeletons that were clearly not human, but rather the skeletons of the demonic beasts in the eyes.
As for what kind of monster it was, that remains unknown, having long been blurred by the passage of time.
Perhaps some of these skeletons belong to mythical beasts that perished here, but whatever they were in life, after death they all ended up here, swallowed up by time, becoming skeletons that even the souls of the dead would not bother with...
"Drip, drip, drip..."
The rain gradually subsided, and a fine drizzle drifted by. A large tree appeared amidst Bai Hao's unemployment.
It is still a large tree with almost no vitality, but the dense branches and vines on the crown, even though they are dry, still entwine around it, so that even though the tree has no life, it still maintains the posture it had when it was alive.
Under the tree stood a person, her skirt fluttering, holding a paper umbrella, seemingly gazing at something, waiting for something.
When Bai Hao looked up and saw the woman, he was stunned for a moment, then a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, and the huge weight in his heart finally slowly lifted.
He walked over step by step until he stood in front of the woman, who then spoke softly.
"I've finally waited for you..."
