The Almighty Dragon General

The moment he disappeared, the beast’s foot slammed against the ground. In an instant, dust and pebbles swirled in the air, and
a profound fissure appeared on the ground.
At that moment, James appeared on the beast’s head and repeatedly swung the Demon-Slayer Sword in his hand. Waves of
Sword Energy materialized and struck the beast. Back then, he could not make a dent in the beast’s defenses. Now that he had
reached the Omniscience Path’s Fourth Stage, his strength was now sufficient to shatter the beast’s black scales. However,
these attacks were not fatal to the beast.
Roar!
Upon being injured, the beast was enraged as an overwhelming aggressiveness was exuded from its body.
After the short exchange of blows, James understood just how terrifying the beast was. Since he could not eradicate the beast
despite using his full strength, he catalyzed the Space Path and entered the void to make his escape. Meanwhile, the beast
distorted all space and pursued James relentlessly.
The beast pursued James relentlessly all the way and only stopped giving chase only when James entered the city in the sky.
James did not dare enter the city either. Though he was curious about the city’s interior, he did not dare venture into the city for
there were many shadows whose aura was not beneath that of the beast inside. If he was trapped inside, it would be difficult for
him to escape.
So, he did not enter the city but rather circumvented it. Then, he arrived at another ancient battlefield, on which there were
skeletal remains, weapons, and treasures all over the place. However, most of the treasures were already shattered to pieces.
As James traversed through the battlefield, he simply stored all the treasures he encountered along the way. Though they were
broken, they were still valuable materials regardless. If he brought them back to the Twelfth Universe and refine them once more,
they would turn into powerful treasures. Even if they could not be restored back to Chaotic Treasures, they would still be Quasi
Chaotic Treasures.
The ancient battlefield was huge, around 30 million light-years in distance. The region was simply desolated and devoid of all
signs of life.
Swoosh!
At that moment, a mysterious light glimmered straight ahead. The light was white and possessed immense power.

“The Light of Acme?”
James was overjoyed.
He was familiar with the light’s power for it was the Light of Acme which he encountered not too long ago and was seized by
Lord Samsong. To think that he would meet the Light of Acme once more. He was tempted to store the Light of Acme away
when he remembered the bird’s words.
The Light of Acme was equivalent to the Light of Death, and any living being that was contaminated by the light would perish.
Doubtful, he pondered whether he should take the Light of Acme along with him. After weighing the pros and cons, James
planned to test things out. His body flashed, and he appeared before the Light of Acme. The moment he approached the light,
however, he could sense a terrifying power. Under the power’s suppression, he could feel a searing pain coming from his skin.
Unable to stand the overwhelming pressure, cracks began to appear on the surface of his skin, from which blood began oozing
out.
“What power... No wonder the bird said that no living being in this world would be able to resist the Light of Acme... As expected
of the Light of Death...”
James took a deep breath.
However, he did not give up. That was because the Light of Acme was the combined power of many deceased Acmeans. Albeit
terrifying, the benefits would be enormous as long as he could take the light back. Even if he could not refine his physical body,
he could research Acme Power and comprehend more about the matter.
James raised his hand, and an immense power gathered in his palm that forcibly imprisoned the Light of Acme and stored it
away in the Celestial Abode. Though terrifying, the Light of Acme did not fight back. As such, James managed to store the Light
of Acme away easily.
