The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2020
James asked, “I heard from the Overworld Outsiders that the earthlings’ ancestors left behind the Four Holy Beasts. However,
they were tampered with. Do you know anything about this?”
Marcello nodded and said, “Yes, a little.”
James looked at him.
Marcello explained, “In ancient times, those who sided with the Demon Race were branded as traitors. After we sealed Earth
away, the descendants of the traitors remained on Earth, a planet that was deprived of any Spiritual Energy. However, since the
ancestors of these traitors knew that their descendants would be annihilated once the seal is undone, they summoned the Four
Holy Beasts for their sake. The Four Holy Beasts aren’t ordinary creatures, and you people are still too weak to experience the
benefits. However, some people from the Sealed Realm injected Demonic Energy into the Four Holy Beasts in an attempt to
demonize the earthlings. After all, Demonic Energy has adverse effects on human beings. Not only does it affect your mind, but it
also eats away at your soul. In the end, you’ll become a demon who will slaughter innocent lives as you please before dying a
horrible death. Besides that, the greater one’s potential, the greater the effects would be.”
James listened intently.
He thought the Demon Race was the mastermind behind this. It appeared he was mistaken.
“In any case, things were complicated back then. Being the origin of all worlds, Earth was called the Progenitor Star in ancient
times. Meanwhile, the Progenitor Star was occupied by the earthlings at the time, while the other races attempted to dislodge the
earthlings from Earth.”
James could not help but ask, “But why?”
Marcello shook his head and said, “I don’t know either.”
James asked once more, “I heard that Earth was occupied by the Demon Race after a fierce battle. But why did the Demon
Race seal Earth away and retreat?”
“I also don’t know.”

The two discussed the affairs of ancient times. However, Marcello did not know about the specifics. He only knew that a deep
secret was hidden beneath Earth. However, only those above the Emperor rank would know the specifics.
They slowly marched on.
Soon, they arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Before them was a straight path around 500 meters long. On both sides of the path, approximately 500 golems stood there, and
they were each two meters apart.
By the time they arrived, they realized that the Son of Heaven was already at the 100-meter mark. His speed was extraordinary
as he dodged the golems’ attacks.
However, he failed to pass the third barrier.
At that moment, he suffered severe injuries. As such, he had no choice but to rapidly retreat and sat in a lotus position on the
ground. Then, he consumed a healing elixir and catalyzed
True Energy.
Marcello glanced at him and said, “Now that we’ve arrived at the third barrier, it’s going to be an uphill battle from now on. For
this barrier, I guess we just have to pass through the golem formation.”
Then, he waved his arm. Materialized True Energy gathered in his palm and entered the golem formation. The golems raised
their swords and slashed, shattering the True Energy into nothingness.
Upon seeing this, James furrowed his eyebrows, saying, “This is not going to be easy.”
“Indeed, but it’s a piece of cake for me.”
Confident in his own strength, he simply walked toward the golem formation. Then, he summoned all his strength and charged
straight forward.
The moment he entered the formation, the golems immediately raised their swords and slashed at him.
However, like an elusive shadow, Marcello dodged their attacks flawlessly. He moved so quickly and adroitly that James could
not even see his movements clearly.

Soon, Marcello passed through the 500-meter-long golem formation.
The Son of Heaven’s expression darkened when he saw this.
