Chapter 452: Chapter 35: A Shot Across the World
During his search for the Hanhai Dragon King, Wang Sheng had also become familiar with True Dragons.
The Dragon Clan originally had no names for themselves, each having their own title, but after the appearance of the Destiny Dynasty, the Human Race independently developed a unified system of writing and currency.
This phenomenon also affected the Spirit Clan.
As a result, the Spirit Clan began to adopt the Human Race’s practice of naming; the leader of the True Dragons was called Long Lie, whose status within the Dragon Clan was now considerable.
“Long Lie, your Dragon Clan was once known as the Master of Scale Armor. How did you deal with that ancestor from the Spirit Clan back then?”
According to what had been said among the Dragon Clan, in their eyes, Zhong, being a python, would not have been held in high esteem. But from the conversation they had just had, he realized Long Lie’s reverence for Zhong was not feigned.
“Elder, back then when the Dragon Clan was called the Master of Scale Armor, it wasn’t of our own volition. Such boiling oil battles were not favored, and even the Dragon Ancestor knew they were no good. But the Spirit Clan back in those days was not united either.”
Long Lie did not say much more, but Wang Sheng roughly understood. The Dragon Clan had been very powerful back then, likely causing unease among the other tribes of the Spirit Clan, which resulted in the Dragon Clan being set up. And indeed, the Dragon Clan back then was strong, not all of its members had the clarity of vision of the Dragon Ancestor.
In the end, in the boiling oil, they were knocked down.
“Actually, when we failed in our hegemony against the Human Race, there was not much resentment within the Dragon Clan, mostly anger towards those who incited conflict.”
Long Lie’s words weren’t meant to please Wang Sheng.
Back then, the struggle for supremacy against the Human Race, though somewhat forced, was indeed an honorable fight.
The Dragon Clan was not sore losers, but they were still angry at the species that had deceived them.
After that incident, the Dragon Clan took immediate revenge, for even in a weakened state, their power was not something ordinary species could compare with, and underhanded tactics ultimately could not outdo true strength.
“The ancestors of the Spirit Clan were powerful and made great sacrifices. The Dragon Clan, revering the strong, naturally respected them, even at our zenith.”
“I see, your Dragon Clan is indeed intriguing. Have you ever considered returning to the world? You should be able to feel that the situation has changed.”
A world with only the Human Race would be so uninteresting.
And if the Human Race can enter the Spirit World, what about the Spirit Clan?
Now with foreign enemies circling, it might be an opportunity for all species to harmonize.
“Re-emerge?” It was something Long Lie had not considered.
The Dragon Clan had lived in seclusion for so long, they had grown accustomed to such a life.
“Yes, your Dragon Clan must be curious about how the Hanhai Dragon King came to be, right?”
Long Lie nodded subconsciously.
The Hanhai Dragon King was a descendant of the bloodline left by the Dragon Ancestor, accidentally lost.
He had only recently come into the world, but how could he be so powerful upon his emergence? Not even the Dragon Ancestor had been that strong.
“Elder, you must know something, right?” Long Lie asked cautiously, assuming this was a secret.
“I have not yet met the Hanhai Dragon King, so I cannot be certain, but to achieve this extent, other than those I have in mind, there shouldn’t be another reason.”
Seeing this, Long Lie did not inquire further, but he couldn’t help his curiosity.
“Elder, just how powerful is the Hanhai Dragon King, and at what realm?”
If it were up to him, he would not call it a Dragon King, but since the elder referred to it as such, he naturally would not make a change, yet the question he wanted to ask was sincere.
He knew the Hanhai Dragon King was strong but did not have a precise concept of just how strong.
Wang Sheng glanced at Long Lie and said, “He is about three large realms stronger than your current level.”
“Three large realms?” Long Lie exclaimed, well aware of how vast the gap between each level became in the later stages of cultivation.
“How could such a powerful Dragon Clan member appear?”
“This is why I want you to emerge from seclusion. If you continue to hide, you might fall behind with the times, whether you admit it or not, the Human Race now represents the mainstream.”
The appearance of the Destiny Dynasty suppressed but also propelled the Human Race to its peak.
Long Lie fell silent, knowing Wang Sheng spoke the truth.
In his heart, he had accepted it.
“I will persuade the elders after I return.”
Wang Sheng said no more. In any case, it was their own decision.
As for whether the emergence of the Dragon Ancestor would affect the Human Race, if the Human Race, taking the lead and with his help, could not stabilize its position, then they should honestly stay under his protection and not think about anything else.
Before long, Wang Sheng led Long Lie to the capital of the Hanhai Dynasty.
The state of the nation was utterly devoid of any living aura.
As the intelligence had stated, the capital of the nation was nearly annihilated.
Wang Sheng had already sensed the presence of the Hanhai Dragon King, and, of course, the Hanhai Dragon King had sensed his as well.
With a dragon’s roar, a kilometer-long dragon with azure scales mixed with black appeared, stretching its enormous head in front of Wang Sheng.
Even without the use of Divine Thought, Wang Sheng could feel the aura of slaughter emanating from the Hanhai Dragon King—a result of innumerable killings.
Likewise, Wang Sheng knew this was not an enemy to be taken lightly.
“Human, I sense an odor on you that I detest, and I feel like killing you. However, such thoughts do not seem to be of my own volition; I am very resistant. Tell me why, and I’ll spare you!”
Hearing the Hanhai Dragon King’s words, Wang Sheng was somewhat surprised.
This Dragon King seemed to indeed be under control, but also showed signs of struggling against it.
At this moment, the eyes hidden in the Void also showed surprise.
“Indeed, reaching the strength of thirty-six Pulse Masters is not so easily controlled.”
Even so, the Kui Tian Monarch was not panicked. He had been observing all along and knew that Wang Sheng had already considered killing the Hanhai Dragon King. Moreover, if they dared to act, how could they not have a backup plan?
