The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2202
Boom!
A flash of lightning struck the stone pillar and then James.
When the lightning struck James, he could only feel pain so excruciating that even his soul shivered. Then, he let loose an
anguished scream.
No one stepped forward to defend James, nor did anyone feel any sympathy toward him After all, James was an earthling, a
descendant of sinners. Their ancestors perished because of the earthlings’ ancestors’ betrayal.
After the first flash of lightning struck James, he already suffered grave injuries. However, Demonic Energy immediately
circulated throughout his body and healed his injuries.
Before he could react, the second flash of lightning struck him.
“Argh!” James cried out in anguish. His physical body and even his soul underwent agonizing torture.
In the distance, Marcello furrowed her eyebrows and said, “Jace, are we just going to sit here and watch?”
Wearing a calm expression, Jace said coldly, “I only need him alive. Besides, I believe he can survive this ordeal with that
physical body of his. Once he completely gives up on the human race, it’ll be much easier for him to join our ranks.”
“But can he?” Marcello asked anxiously.
“Yes. He has no choice,” Jace said.
Marcello fell silent and turned to leave, unable to bear witness to James’ torture.
The footage of James’ trial was broadcasted live to the world. As they witnessed it, every human being on Earth wept.
“Hang in there, James!”
“You can do this!”
Many offered words of encouragement.

Meanwhile, Thea, who was currently in Cansington, cried her eyes out upon seeing this. At that moment, she wanted to head
over to Mount Bane and save James.
However, she did not lose her rationality.
James risked his life to save them. If she headed to Mount Bane, not only would she not be able to save his life, but she would
create even more trouble for him.
Upon seeing James being tortured, she clenched her fists, cursing, “The Ancient Realm and the Divinity Sect Mark my words, I’ll
have my revenge!”
Her expression was solemn She silently swore to annihilate the Divinity Sect should tames perish on Mount Bane
In the beginning, James was able to resist the lightning strikes using his physical body. However, as his Demonic Energy was
slowly depleted, his injuries only worsened.
Soon, two weeks passed. Each day, James was struck by lightning repeatedly.
His body was horribly burned, and his Demonic Energy was completely depleted. James’ life was hanging by a thread, and he
constantly slipped in and out of consciousness.
Inside the Celestial Abode, Sophie knew what was happening to James. She furrowed her eyebrows and said, “He’ll die if this
continues.”
The Spirit Tool glanced at her and said, “Lend him a helping hand, then.”
“But...” Sophie said, “You know who I am. How can I intervene just like that? Besides, he has obtained the Infinity Steles. If I help
him out, I will incur heavy Karma.
The Spirit Tool said coolly, “James is the owner of the Jabari Celestial Abode in which you reside. All this while, you have
accumulated great Karma while helping him.”
Sophie said, “I can release this Karma, and I have the ability to endure it.”
“Then help him out indirectly and send him away from where he is. If he dies, the Celestial Abode will become masterless. Now
that the remnants of Emperor Jabari have dispersed, it won’t be easy for the Celestial Abode to find a new master.”
