The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 4144
Wotan left the Palace of Compassion.
James stood at the cliff, observed the deep abyss ahead of him, and saw a ball of white fire at the bottom. The fire kept flickering
erratically and changing shapes.
At the same time, it emitted a sweltering heat. In addition, the ball of fire was protected by a formation. If it had not been, the
temperature in the area would have been even higher.
Even at James’ current cultivation rank, it was hard to tolerate the heat. He began to sweat profusely and it seeped into his
clothes.
James’ brows were knit tightly. He knew it was not going to be easy to absorb the Ignis. Even though he had acquired the Frost
Pill, it was still an uphill task.
If he successfully absorbed and refined the Ignis’ power, he would fulfill the prerequisites needed to cultivate Flame Art’s Three
Fire Transformations. His strength would increase tremendously once he mastered the Flame Art’s Three Fire Transformations.
James stood at the cliff for a while. Then, he took a deep breath and slowly descended into the abyss. Soon, he arrived in front
of the formation.
With his knowledge of formations, deciphering the formation was not difficult. However, the flames from the Ignis would
immediately spread to the surroundings once the formation vanished.
James did not dare to rashly undo the formation. He stood before the formation and inspected it carefully. James was pressed
for time. He set up a time formation around him to buy himself more time to act.
Then, he continued to analyze the formation.
30 years passed in the blink of an eye.
James had spent an even longer time in the time formation. He had thoroughly studied the formation and now understood it
intimately. He was confident he could delve deeper into the abyss without having to break the formation.
James slowly approached the formation. As soon as he inched closer, its surface became incredibly bizarre and spread out in a
circle like ripples on the water’s surface. The ripples contained great power and were capable of killing an Acmean.

Fortunately, James already fully understood the formation. He casually waved his hand, and Formation Inscriptions emerged and
surrounded his body. The ripples vanished instantly.
James entered the formation without causing any damage to it. Soon, he appeared at the bottom of the abyss and approached
the Ignis. Once he entered the formation, he felt a scorching heat wave.
Although his physical strength had reached the Quasi Acme Rank’s middle phase, he found it hard to withstand the intense heat.
His skin turned red, and a burning sensation covered his body. He mustered his energy but barely managed to resist the high
temperature.
“I’m already struggling to absorb such a small amount of Ignis. If I were to touch the flames directly, they would instantly burn me
to ashes. How am I supposed to absorb and refine it?” James frowned.
Pausing for a moment, James took out the small bottle containing the Frost Pill. He twisted the cap and shook out the pill. The
pill was white and was about the size of a grape.
A cold sensation spread from his hand and throughout his body as soon as the pill touched his palm. The Cold Energy nullified
the heat, slightly relieving James from the discomfort.
James looked at the white ball of fire before him. Then, he opened his mouth and consumed the Frost Pill. When he swallowed
the pill, a chill permeated his body. James turned into an ice sculpture the next instant. Although the Ignis radiated a blazing
heat, he did not melt.
James was frozen and covered in ice. The Cold Energy protected his internal organs and meridians. Despite being frozen,
James was still fully conscious. With much difficulty, he managed to approach the Ignis.
