The Almighty Dragon General

Under normal circumstances, it would take a long time for a cultivator to reach the Divine Rank. Even a prodigy with
inexhaustible resources would take a substantial amount of time.
Before James cultivated the Curse Inscriptions, he had no Curse Power in his body.
After he practiced Curse Magic, he absorbed the Curse Power within the Curse Inscriptions and continued to grow the Curse
Power in his body.
James was focused on his cultivation and made large amounts of progress rapidly.
Before he knew it, the Curse Power in his body had reached the Sage Rank’s Thirty-Third Stage—the rank in which he could
cultivate an Ousia.
After reaching the Thirty-Third Stage, James temporarily stopped cultivating.
He took a deep breath.
“That was fast.”
He did not expect to raise his Curse Power to such a high level in just a short period.
Previously, he used the Curse Inscriptions to control the Curse Power.
Now, he had Curse Power itself in his body. His Curse Power had reached the rank where he could cultivate an Ousia and was
already at the Consolidation stage.
However, he could not overcome the Consolidation stage with his current understanding of Curse Magic.
To get through the Consolidation, he had to further deepen his knowledge of Curse Magic.
After mulling it over briefly, James continued to study the foundations of Curse Magic.
His knowledge of Curse Magic grew more profound.
Curse Magic was a mysterious and unpredictable power.
It was terrifying and nigh unfathomable.

There were many variations to Curse Inscriptions and they could be transformed into different Supernatural Powers.
The Time Formation contained abundant Curse Power.
Xainte watched James’ every move from outside the formation.
She could not help asking, “Mom, is Dad practicing Curse Magic?”
“Most likely.” Thea was not certain either.
After a brief thought, Xainte said, “I’ve encountered Curse Magic many times, and I’ve always felt how malicious it is. However,
the Curse Power I feel from Dad seems like pure energy without a sinister aura. Why is that so?”
Thea shook her head.
She did not understand Curse Magic.
Although she was James’ wife, she did not pry too much into James’ affairs.
“Dad’s comprehension of Curse Magic is at the Consolidation stage. It won’t be long before he can refine an Ousia.”
Xainte was a Quasi-Emperor and could sense James’ Curse Power. Therefore, she could tell James’ Curse Power was close to
the Consolidation stage.
However, she did not know when he would overcome it.
Consolidation was not a tricky matter, but neither was it easy either.
If one thoroughly understood their chosen Path, one could pass the Consolidation easily.
Without proper understanding, one could not pass the Consolidation no matter how long they took.
Inside the Time Formation, James’ whole body was surrounded by Curse Inscriptions.
Curse Power emerged continuously from the inscriptions which James absorbed and refined into energy.
At that moment, the Curse Power in his body slowly accumulated.
The Curse Power formed a vortex in his body.

The vortex spun and absorbed the Curse Power from the Curse Inscription.
Time passed silently.
The vortex in James’ body slowly converged and materialized into a black crystal.
