The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 1872
Although Tyrus was looking forward to it, James was not. On the contrary, he hoped that day would never arrive.
In the distance, the battle carried on.
The Void Sect’s members were formidable.
Even the weakest was at the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair’s peak.
However, the Blood Race was much stronger.
They had quite a few ninth-ranked grandmasters. Moreover, Kaiden had broken free from two shackles. The Void Sect was
losing ground and gradually retreated. Just when the Void Sect was about to be defeated, the elderly man appeared.
He had consumed a mysterious pill.
The pill was refined from Empyrean herbs and contained powerful energy. It allowed the elderly man, Wilbert
Waalfort, to break through the third shackle. He was now one step away from becoming a Supernatural.
James watched the battle from the mountain foot.
Wilbert of the Void Sect immediately displayed his strength and sent all the Blood Race’s powerhouses down the mountain.
He did not deal lethal damage to them since his condition was unstable.
His goal was to repel the Blood Race and then stabilize his rank and the sect’s control over Mount Bane. He wanted to buy
enough time for their sect’s powerhouses to arrive.
The Blood Race’s defeat was unexpected.
Witnessing their defeat, no one dared to continue climbing Mount Bane.
Mount Bane temporarily regained its peace.
James sat on a rock on the mountain foot and asked,” Uncle, you’ve experienced a lot.
So, from your understanding, what rank is the Blood Race’s Grand Patriarch and the elderly man from the Void Sect?”

Tyrus thought for a while and said, ‘The Blood Race’s Grand Patriarch should have already broken free from two shackles, and
his strength should be on equal standing as mine. The elderly man from the Void Sect must’ve broken free from three shackles
to defeat the Blood Race. But, he hasn’t become a Supernatural yet. Otherwise, it would’ve been much easier for him to defeat
the Blood Race.”
“Are they already so strong?” James clicked his tongue.
Tyrus nodded and said, ‘They’re indeed powerful. However, compared to my father, there’s still a small gap between their
strengths. The world is going to change really soon. They’ll catch up pretty soon if they’re lucky and manage to obtain fruits
containing Empyrean Spiritual Energy.”
While speaking, Tyrus sighed.
‘This is why we have to conquer Mount Bane. It’s where the Sealed Realm is located, and the Earth’s changes will begin from
here. Occupying this place means getting the first dibs on the benefits.”
James asked, “If it’s so important, why did Grandfather leave to deal with other matters? And what exactly did he leave to do?”
“Something important, of course. You don’t have to worry about that. Just wait patiently.”
After reassuring James, Tyrus did not speak anymore. He sat down on a rock, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
James was bored and began to wander around the place since many unknown mountains had appeared.
It did not seem like a huge change from a distance, but James could tell the mountains were much vaster after getting close.
James did not ascend Mount Bane. Instead, he headed to a mountain beside it.
A white mist surrounded the mountain. As soon as James stepped into it, he sensed a dangerous aura. He felt like a ferocious
beast was watching him, making him incredibly wary.
At the same time, James was also excited.
After entering the mountain range, he discovered the Empyrean Spiritual Energy was a few times greater than outside.
The Empyrean Spiritual Energy outside the mountain was thin, but inside, it was concentrated.

He immediately activated the Lunar and Terra Art, and an intense Empyrean Spiritual
Energy entered his body, causing him to relax.
“H-How strong! The Empyrean Spiritual Energy here is incredible!”
James could not help but be amazed.
He wanted to go deeper.
After passing through the white mist, the view before him was pitch black, making it hard for him to see the path ahead.
In the darkness, there was a faint red light. Then, an unidentified beast roared. James trembled in fear and frantically ran away.
After running for a while, he realized the beast was not chasing him.
He turned back.
As he had the strength of a ninth-ranked grandmaster, James was bold and thought himself to be skilled. He wanted to figure out
what was hiding in the darkness.
He felt his way forward.
“How strange. It’s daytime, but this place seems to turn into night after walking a certain distance,” James murmured. Suddenly,
he felt as if he had bumped into something.
