The Almighty Dragon General

“Sure.”
Sienna left without hesitation. She casually waved her hand and opened a passage between the Illuminated World and the Dark
World with her great power. A mystical portal formed before them.
James and Sienna walked through the passage briskly. The two disappeared from the area along with the imaginary portal. In
the next moment, they appeared outside the Dark World.
James had been to the Dark World several times before this but mostly only explored its periphery. Only once did he head
slightly further inside.
The Dark World’s outer bounds were filled with black mist that contained potent Dark Power. The deeper one traveled, the more
dreadful the Dark Power grew. Dark Power was inherently deleterious for beings from the Illuminated World. Moreover, Paths
from the Illuminated World were drastically weakened and hindered by the Dark World’s Heavenly Path.
Although the atmosphere in the Dark World was anomalous, James was proficient in the Dark Path, and Dark Power had no
effect on him.
The two moved through the black mist.
James asked Sienna. “You’ve lived in the Dark World for so long, Sienna. How much do you know about it? What kind of place is
the Dark World and how is it related to the twelve universes?”
Sienna’s brows furrowed. She did not have the questions to his answer. After carefully considering her answer, she asked, “As
the strongest powerhouse of the Twelfth Universe, how much do you really know about it?”
Sienna’s question caught James by surprise. James had reached great heights in cultivation. He understood the essence of
Paths, and his comprehension had spanned its furthest limits. However, he still did not wholly understand everything behind the
twelve universes.
He only knew that a universe was formed using a Macrocosm Core and these cores came from the Chaos itself. However, he did
not know why Macrocosm Cores were formed in the Chaos nor did he know what kind of mysterious powers were hidden in the
Chaos that contributed to their formation.
A tiny Macrocosm Core contained the most rudimentary inscriptions of all Paths. These inscriptions would constantly shift and
eventually birth a mighty universe.

Sienna continued, “Just as you don’t understand everything governing the twelve universes, I don’t know everything about the
Dark World either. I, too, have no idea how the twelve universes and Dark World are related. However...”
She stopped herself for a moment.
James asked, “What is it?”
Sienna chose her words carefully and said, “From what I’ve learned, the Dark World is much more obscure and complicated than
the twelve universes. It seems that unknown secrets are buried in the depths of the Dark World.
“I also learned that there is a strange place in the depths of the Dark World. Rumor has it that this place holds the answers to the
essence of the Dark World and how Dark Matter is formed.”
“Dark Matter?” James was taken aback by the unfamiliar term.
Sienna explained “Dark Matter is the hallmark of the Dark World. Every evil spirit needs Dark Matter to become stronger. Since
the Illuminated World’s Paths do not exist in the Dark World, evil spirits can only become stronger by absorbing enough Dark
Matter.”
James frowned. “Are there really no Paths here?”
According to what he knew, the Dark World also housed a Dark Heavenly Path. Curse Inscriptions originated from the Dark
World and after they appeared in the Eleventh Universe, it lead to the development of Curse Magic.
If there were no Paths in the Dark World, how could Curse Magic have originated from here? James felt even more troubled by
the Dark World. Since he was fortunate enough to have a Dark Lord accompanying him, he voiced out the doubts that nagged at
him.
“If there are no Paths in the Dark World, how do evil spirits cultivate Macrocosm Powers? Do they just absorb Dark Matter, and
automatically convert it into Macrocosm Power?”
