Long Man actually intended to tell Bai Hao a story, and even brought over two chairs for Bai Hao to sit down before slowly beginning to speak:
"Our True Dragon Clan is a race that has existed for ten thousand years. We existed even before the Divine Origin Dynasty appeared, when the world was still in chaos. At that time, we, along with the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan, were the three most powerful races on the entire continent, dividing the world into three, and no one could compare to us."
Later, a fire appeared in the chaos. It was a faint flame, yet it illuminated the entire world and brought warmth. At that time, humanity lived like ants in the darkest corners of the world, but the appearance of that fire lit up those dark corners and brought them light.
So humanity stole that ball of fire and obtained the power to drive away the darkness from it—the thunder of the sun!
The first human to obtain the Sun's Thunder was Liuli, who was also the first emperor of the Divine Source Dynasty.
Having obtained the power of the solar lightning from the flames, Ruri knew its immense strength. She decided to banish the remaining flames into the sky, transforming them into the sun hanging in the sky, so that no one else would ever have the chance to come into contact with the power of the flames again.
As the only human possessing the complete power of the Sun's Lightning, Liuli became the Sun God, leading humanity to establish a powerful Divine Source Dynasty and banishing darkness from the world.
However, our three divine beasts have conflicts with each other. After mastering the Solar Thunder, Liuli used it to forge the Blazing Sword to deal with the Phoenix Clan, the Evil-Sealing Pearl to deal with the Qilin Clan, and the Dragon-Slaying Spear to deal with our True Dragon Clan. The Divine Origin Dynasty dispatched a large force to attack us, forcing us down from our divine pedestal. The Divine Origin Dynasty's power reached its peak from then on.
At this point, a hint of resentment appeared in Longman's eyes, a resentment that the True Dragon Clan felt towards the rule of the Divine Source Dynasty!
“But the Divine Origin Dynasty has now declined.” Bai Hao spoke up in time, preventing Long Man from losing control of his emotions.
But Long Man was still filled with anger, and said bitterly, "They brought it on themselves!"
The power of the Sun's Thunder comes from fire, capable of dispelling all darkness. However, extremes beget their opposites. The Sun God, Liuli, banished the remaining flames into the sky, transforming them into the sun, hoping to ensure the world would never face darkness again. But unbeknownst to him, a curse was also contained within the power of the fire, slowly growing within the world.
"You mean human nature?" Bai Hao asked.
"That's right, the curse is the loss of humanity. Under the long-term effects of the solar lightning, the darkness of this world has indeed disappeared, but the darkness in people's hearts has only just begun to emerge. The solar lightning can actually absorb human humanity. Once humanity is lost, humans gradually lose their reason. They don't die, but become like walking corpses, until they completely lose their humanity and become true souls separated from their bodies, wandering aimlessly in the world, neither alive nor dead. Unless someone kills them, they will forever drift on the edge of the world, unable to reincarnate," Long Man said quietly.
"So that's how the soul leaves the body," Bai Hao murmured. He now understood how the soul leaves the body.
They originally sought the Thunder of the Sun to escape the darkness, but in the end they reaped the bitter fruits of their actions, causing the darkness in people's hearts to backfire and unleashing the darkness of human nature.
"Then why don't you become souls separated from your bodies? Is it because you are divine beasts and the Sun's Thunder is useless to you?" Bai Hao looked up at Long Man.
The latter shook his head and said, "The Sun God Liuli has mastered the legion created by the Sun Thunder, which once forced our three divine beasts to the brink of death. The Sun Thunder is a great threat to us. At first, we had no room to resist. It was only later that we slowly gained the power to resist the Sun Thunder, but we still could not confront the Sun God head-on."
Therefore, after discussing it, the three of us divine beasts decided to travel to another continent to find a way out of this predicament. To this end, our True Dragon Clan also sent some people to another world called the Divine Radiance Continent, and the one we sent was a white dragon..."
At that moment, Bai Hao seemed to remember something. He suddenly looked up, quickly retreated a considerable distance, placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and stared intently at the dragon python with eyes as sharp as a sword's edge. He said in a deep voice:
"Is the White Dragon Venerable one of yours?"
"Its full name is Bai Changli, and it carries the hopes of our True Dragon Clan. But now, you have destroyed all our hopes!" Long Man roared with a ferocious expression and bloodshot eyes. His voice was like a demonic sound that made Bai Hao's ears ring.
Qianjing drew his sword directly, creating a shield of solar lightning in front of him to block Longman's roar. Bai Hao slowly said, "That's what it asked for. Your world has its own laws, and our world has its own rules for survival. The white dragon threatened our survival, so I had no choice but to kill it."
Bai Hao had anticipated this scene ever since he learned that this was the territory of the True Dragon Clan.
He just didn't expect that Long Man would tell him so much, including revealing the weakness of the True Dragon Clan—the Sun's Thunder!
Back then, the Sun God Liuli used solar lightning to forge the Dragon-Slaying Spear, driving the True Dragon race to its current state of near extinction. Now, Bai Hao has also mastered solar lightning. Perhaps he isn't as powerful as the Sun God Liuli, but he should still be able to deal with these struggling True Dragons.
"Now, you will pay the price for what you have done!"
At this moment, Long Man had lost his mind. His anger made his eyes bloodshot, and his roar echoed from the depths of the hall.
Now, the entire Dragon City is not just home to one true dragon, Dragon Barbarian!
Bai Hao decisively retreated to the square, pulled out Qianye from behind him with his left hand, gripped his weapon tightly with both hands, and quickly scanned his surroundings.
"boom!"
Inside the main hall, one after another, real dragons crashed out, their enormous bodies shattering the entire hall into pieces.
Long Man then transformed into a true dragon, its fiery red body particularly striking. It soared through the air, its whiskers powerful, and when it opened its mouth, bursts of flame spewed out, instantly turning the entire hall into a sea of red, with flames shooting into the sky.
Faced with the siege of the dragons, Bai Hao unleashed a burst of golden lightning, transforming into a golden sea of lightning that instantly suppressed the sea of fire.
"The Sun's Lightning is your weakness, then I'm sorry, but today I will free you." Bai Hao slowly lowered his eyelids, took a deep breath, and calmed his mind and body.
The next moment, when he opened his eyes, a golden light flashed across them, transforming into the most brilliant solar lightning, bringing down the sun god's punishment...
