Rui's attention grew engrossed in the Whisperer's words as he pondered what she said. "Radiation is his sustenance, is it? That makes sense… No wonder he seems so absurdly immune to it."
The amount of radiation that the Dragon Emperor emitted was so intense that it posed problems even for Martial Sages. It was what led to Amare's defeat, among other things. Not even a Martial Sage at or even above the Transcendent Candidate level was enough to negate the poisonous radiation.
Then it begged the question of how a dragon survived it from the inside out?
Even with all the radiation shielding, Rui couldn't fathom how the dragon could be so unaffected by radiation, unless he needed it to survive. Unless his biology evolved around the radiation.
"But why radiation?" Rui murmured with an intrigued tone. "Why would he even come to develop such a dependence on radiation? Does it actually make sense? Is that how all dragons are in the true world or just Shenlong?"
