"So that is the Ancient Scions..."
The elder of the Primordial Dragons spoke in a grave voice. "They are primordial beings from the Ancient Epoch. What they pursued was the transcendence of life itself—pushing the hierarchy of life and the essence of power to an extreme."
"For all practical purposes, ordinary physical attacks and even rule-based attacks have already been rendered ineffective against the lifeforms they evolved."
The boy frowned. "Then doesn't that mean they can't be killed? True immortality?"
The elder shook his head. "Not immortality."
"It is because, after those remnant clans advanced to quasi-Empyrean Sanctum or Empyrean Sanctum, they found they could go no further. So they turned instead to dissecting the essence of power and life, searching for ways to reduce damage."
"They have nearly studied every weakness of every kind of power, and by evolving their own lifeforms, they offset the damage. What you are seeing now is the result of that evolution."
