The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2015
“Annihilate everyone here?”
James froze.
There were at least 10 thousand Overworld Outsiders here. No way could he pull off such a feat.
“Yes.” Marcello said, “This Celestial Abode is left behind by the Primordials. It won’t be easy crossing all nine barriers. I’d say
annihilating them all would be easier, comparatively. speaking,” he said nonchalantly.
However, James was horrified.
His opponents greatly outnumbered him in size and strength. There were at least five Overworld Outsiders at the Supernatural
Consummation rank. Besides, he could not see through the Son of Heaven, who might have reached the Herculean rank long
ago. Numerous cultivators had also released the Eighth Inner Gate.
How could he accomplish such a feat?
James looked at Marcello, wondering how on earth was he so assured of his own strength. Perhaps he was already at the
Herculean stage. In that case, it would be possible for them to annihilate everyone here.
“H-Have you reached the Herculean stage?” James prompted.
Marcello smiled and remained silent.
However, his smile was the only thing James needed to know about his strength. Marcello must have reached the Herculean
stage.
At that moment, an idea surfaced in his mind. Since almost every Overworld Outsider had entered the Celestial Abode, peace
would return to Earth if he could annihilate them all here Although he had an agreement with the Overworld Outsiders, the deal
would only hold as long as there were enough benefits for everyone. If there were not enough benefits for everyone, no one
would pay any heed to the agreement made.
“What do you think?”
Marcello looked at James who was deep in thought.

After some time, James looked at Marcello and said, “We can work together. However, I’m not. confident I can annihilate
everyone here.”
“Oh, no worries.”
Marcello smiled.
Then, he headed toward the foot of the mountain, while James followed close behind.
It was a winding path surrounded by deep foliage on both sides. Since there were many mysterious herbs and berries throughout
the area, the alluring fragrance they exuded served as a powerful motivator to the challengers.
As they walked side by side, James asked, “When do we make a move?”
Marcello smiled and said, “Why the hurry? We’re only at the first barrier. It won’t be easy crossing all nine barriers, you know?
Let’s observe the situation for now.”
Hearing this, James nodded slightly.
Before long, a golem blocked the path before them. The golem was two meters in height, and it was holding a sword in its hand.
“Everyone, to cross the first barrier, you’ll have to pass by the golem.”
Though the shadow was nowhere to be seen, his voice reverberated throughout the area.
Right then, someone laughed.
“I was wondering how hard it could be. I never expected this to be this easy!”
Then, he summoned all his strength and charged toward the golem.
Just as he was about to pass by the golem, the golem raised the sword in its hand and slashed with great force.
The golem struck with extraordinary speed. Before the man could react, he was slashed by the sword, and his physical body
immediately disintegrated. Not even a piece of him remained.
“What?”

Everyone was stunned.
The man had crossed into the Supernatural rank and released the Third Inner Gate. However, he lost his life in an instant.
“How powerful...”
James took a deep breath.
After the man was annihilated, the others did not dare act recklessly.
