The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2037
When James heard those words, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At long last, he got through this checkpoint. Finally, he was qualified to go straight to the ninth checkpoint.
He was the first to reach the ninth checkpoint, so he had the best chance of obtaining the Celestial Abode.
James put away the Primordial Dragon Blade.
The shadow glanced at the Son of Heaven, who was lying on the ground and on the verge of death, then casually waved its
hand. A pill appeared in its palm. It gave the pill to the Son of Heaven and said, “You can’t fight in your current state. For the
sake of fairness, take this pill first.”
The Son of Heaven slowly accepted the pill and swallowed it.
It was an amazing pill and very effective. Soon after the Son of Heaven took it, he was able to stand up.
The shadow removed the Magic Circle surrounding the arena.
James walked away from the arena.
Marcello quickly approached him, his face filled with admiration. He said, “You’re amazing! I had no idea you have such an
ultimate move at your disposal, and that you would deal serious damage to the Son of Heaven, claim the victory, and gain the
qualification to advance directly to the ninth checkpoint.”
James grinned with pride. He managed to defeat the Son of Heaven. It was something to be proud of.
After all, the Son of Heaven’s level of ability was far too high. He had entered the Herculean rank, which was what he aspired to
be.
The shadow looked at the people around it and said, “You have nothing to worry about. The ninth checkpoint is truly challenging.
It will not be easy to get through. Furthermore, for those of you who do not qualify to advance directly to the ninth level, if you
prevail in one-on- one combat, you can still advance to the next checkpoint.”
The shadow’s words were reassuring. Everyone felt a great sense of relief.

If James beat them to it, their previous efforts would have been in vain.
The shadow looked at James and said, “First and foremost, congratulations on advancing directly to the ninth checkpoint.
However, with your current abilities, you won’t be able to pass the final checkpoint just yet. Being the first to reach the ninth
checkpoint might not be enough to get you the Celestial Abode.”
As it said that, it waved his hand casually.
A powerful surge of energy formed in its palm. This surge of energy enveloped James’ body. He jumped, lifted off the ground,
and floated up into the sky.
After that, he slowly drifted toward the city.
While floating in the sky, James could see the entire city.
The city was huge. The structures were all thousands of meters tall and radiated a vibrant divine light. It was spectacular. The
streets beneath him were wide, but there was no one around.
Soon, James appeared at the city center.
He descended from the sky and stood firmly on the ground.
At this location, there was an open space. Tall and majestic structures surrounded the area.
James looked at his surroundings. Then, he looked straight ahead.
An altar stood ahead of the city center. On the altar, a crystal the size of a fist was floating. The crystal was shaped like a
rhombus and emitted a white glow. It was dazzling.
“This... Is this the Celestial Spirit? One can be the owner of this Celestial Abode and rule this city after obtaining the Celestial
Spirit, right?”
When James noticed the white crystal, he looked excited and thrilled. With the intent of taking the crystal, he walked over.
However, he had just gotten close to the altar when...
Whoosh.

A white ray of light radiated from within the crystal.
When the light hit the ground, it merged to form a woman. The woman looked to be in her twenties. She was in a white dress,
pristine and divine. Her features were delicate, and she was graceful. Her white dress flitted in the breeze as if she were a fairy,
transcendent beyond words.
Her pretty eyes turned to James, who had appeared in front of the altar.
James was slightly taken aback as he stared at the stunning beauty that had suddenly appeared.
“Draw your sword.”
The woman was beautiful, but she had a distant expression on her face.
