The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2396
James accepted the elixir. As he consumed the elixir, a warm current circulated throughout his body, rejuvenating his gravely
injured body and restoring his True Essence and Demonic Energy that had been depleted.
Lucifer, too, consumed an elixir and healed his injuries.
About thirty minutes later, the two stood up at the same time.
Lucifer looked at James and praised him. “I underestimated you, James. Your strength far exceeded my expectations. If I had
known the outcome of this battle, I wouldn’t have given you a month to achieve so many breakthroughs.
“However, the ultimate providence on Earth has yet to appear. So, I’ll be in closed-door meditation for the time being. I hope you
won’t disappoint me by then.”
As he said that, he turned to leave, while a horde of beasts followed close behind.
James breathed a sigh of relief.
This was a hard-won battle. He had performed almost every technique and cultivation method, except for one. If Lucifer refused
to concede defeat, he would resort to his trump card-the Demonic Energy inside his body.
This Demonic Energy was not his own. Instead, it was absorbed from Farley’s body in the Ancient Realm. He had sealed it away
in his body. Once he released the seal, he could annihilate even immortal beings with the Demonic Energy. However, as he
could not control the Demonic Energy as he pleased, he did not dare act recklessly. Otherwise, the battle would have ended long
ago.
“James, you improve too fast.” Marcello praised him. “When I first met you a few years ago, you were weak and insignificant.
However, in just a few years, your strength has increased by leaps and bounds. Currently, not even the top cultivators of the
Three-Thousand Worlds can stand a chance against you.”
James smiled faintly and said, “You flatter me.”
“I’ll be taking my leave now. Take care.”
After speaking, Marcello turned to leave.

Jace glanced at James and said, “Not bad...”
Then, he turned to leave as well.
Following that, two people approached James. They were Harold and Quintina.
They had conflicting emotions.
Not long ago, James was in the same rank as them. However, his strength had greatly surpassed theirs despite him having the
Elysian Seal in his body.
“You’re too strong, James. I don’t think I can ever surpass you in this lifetime.” Harold smiled bitterly.
Quintina looked at James. At that moment, her gaze, which was filled with tenderness and love, was somewhat different. As
James’ strength grew stronger by the day, her understanding of James kept changing.
James laughed and said, “It was only with a stroke of luck that I managed to defeat Lucifer. That certainly was a dangerous fight.
I almost lost my life.”
“Since there are countless providences on Earth, I’ll have to work hard from now on. Even with the Elysian
Seal, I have to rise no matter the odds.” Harold clenched his fists. He had gained motivation from watching the battle and
decided that he had to work hard now.
A group of people surrounded James. They were all familiar faces.
Henry said, “You’re impressive, James!”
The Blithe King praised him. “I’m in awe!”
Thomas said, “As expected of a Caden! You’ve made us proud.”
Meanwhile, Quincy looked James in the eye with a complex expression on her face and said, “You’ve really grown stronger over
time. I’m no longer worthy of you. Perhaps only Thea among us humans can keep up with your pace.”
Delainey asked, “What do you plan to do next, James?”
The smile on James’ face froze. Then, his expression darkened. “Well, I’ll have to collect some old debts, of course.”
