The Almighty Dragon General

James could sense that everything he was seeing was real.
He could sense complete paths in the universe. He could even sense the signs of life flowing through the air.
At the same time, he was certain that he had entered an artificial realm.
‘This is just a fragment of our history.
‘This is all part of the illusion of the realm. The Path of Heavenly Awakening was designed to recreate situations suited to the
challenger’s cultivation base and aptitude,’ James concluded inwardly.
“I have to kill all living beings in this universe within a period of thirty thousand years.”
James stood by the roadside as he stared at the huge city gate. Then, he activated the Omniscience Path and began walking
toward the gate.
Every living being in the city felt the overwhelming and threatening aura emanated by James almost instantaneously.
In a flash, the city gate was closed. Countless warriors appeared on the city walls. Simultaneously, a huge formation cast over
the city was activated.
Innumerable golden inscriptions appeared right above the city, forming a complete and secure barrier against any enemy.
“Who are you?”
A cold, steely voice reverberated in the air.
James spotted a man in a white robe that had appeared levitating in the air above the city gate.
The man stared at James and said in a deep voice, “This is Yaneiri City. Our people do not welcome rude or hostile visitors.
Trespassers are executed immediately. Leave now, and we can pretend that this has never happened.”
James lifted his eyes and met the man’s gaze. He could detect that person’s aura.
‘He’s a rather competent cultivator. I can tell that he’s reached the middle stage of the Permanence Acme Rank.
That’s considered a pretty solid cultivation rank even in our times.’ James thought.

‘What’s your name?”
James raised the black sword in his hand and pointed it in the man’s direction.
“I am Halten Yfren, a disciple of the Yaneiri King.”
‘The Yaneiri King?’ James repeated inwardly. He paused momentarily upon hearing that name.
‘Why does the name sound so familiar? I think I may have heard or seen this name somewhere before...’ he pondered.
James closed his eyes and tried his best to recall Wyot’s memories.
Images of Wyot’s memories passed through his mind in an instant. Just then, James found what he was looking for.
Wyot had once read about some strange occurrences that had happened in the Greater Realms from an ancient scroll. One of
those stories was related to the Yaneiri King.
The Yaneiri King was a prominent figure that had existed sometime after the Sky Burial Age. The man was an unparalleled
genius. The Yaneiri King managed to achieve incredible capacities for his cultivation base and ranks.
According to ancient records, the Yaneiri King was able to reach the Boundless when he was in the Quasi and Permanence
Acme Ranks respectively. In the end, he even achieved the Terra Acme Rank.
Strangely, the Yaneiri Empire, which was the Yaneiri King’s homeland, completely vanished one day.
No one knew how it happened. Not only were all the people of the Yaneiri Empire gone, even Mount Yaneiri was no longer found
at its original location.
It was as if none of them, including the great Yaneiri King, had ever existed.
A deep frown creased James’ forehead.
‘Why did the realm choose to recreate the Yaneiri Empire?”
“From what Wyot has read in the ancient scroll, The Yaneiri King has managed to achieve the early stage of Terra Acme Rank
before his disappearance. How would I ever stand a chance against such a powerful and formidable opponent?”

James was filled with various worrying thoughts. However, he knew deep down that he had no choice but to try and overcome
this hurdle.
