The Almighty Dragon General

During the Path of Heavenly Awakening’s first trial, James was severely injured and had his Paths severed by Wynton.
At the second trial, he encountered Yardos, who reconnected his Paths and helped him to comprehend the Blithe Omniscience’s
basics.
Additionally, he reached the middle stage of the Omniscience Path’s Eighth Stage, and his strength in the Quasi Boundless
Supreme Path Rank had also improved.
After passing the second trial, James began looking forward to the subsequent trial.
He quickly advanced through the Path of Heavenly Awakening.
After walking for some time, his body submerged into the ground, and he began free-falling through the sky. Soon, a mountain
range was in sight.
James slowly descended and landed firmly on top of a mountain.
“You’ve arrived at the Path of Heavenly Awakening’s third trial. Your task is to save Zaire.”
James heard an illusory voice, making it hard to determine where it came from.
“Zaire? Who is Zaire? How am I supposed to save this person?” James frowned helplessly.
‘The Path of Heavenly Awakening is really bizarre. I wasn’t expecting to have to save someone. Since I’m already here, I’ll have
to figure out how to resolve it. First of all, I need to identify who Zaire is. I must also find out where I am and what era this is.”
James had no recollection of a person named Zaire in his or Wyot’s memories.
He disappeared from the mountain range and appeared outside a city. It was a huge city with several ancient inscriptions
engraved at the city gate.
“Origin City.”
A lot of traffic could be seen at the city gate, with many living beings passing through it.
James blended into the crowd and followed them into the city.
After entering the city, a huge black cloud floated over, and a terrifying force swept the surroundings.

“Run!!!”
“Zaire is coming!!!”
The Origin City was thrown into chaos, and countless living beings quickly began to flee.
The black cloud speedily approached them, sucked away their energy, and killed them instantly.
In just a short moment, only piles of skeletal remains were left in the city.
James, on the other hand, sensed the terrifying power in advance. Thus, he quickly mobilized his strength and entered the
Omniscience Path’s Eighth Stage to prevent being engulfed by the black cloud.
“Hmm? What do I have here?” An exclamation came from within the black cloud.
The living being inside the black cloud was surprised that a human could resist the devouring power.
“Are you Zaire?”
James saw a beautiful woman in a black dress riding the black clouds in the distance.
After clearly seeing her appearance, James took a few steps backward in shock.
The black cloud in the distance dissipated, and the beautiful woman stepped forward. Her body flickered, and she appeared
before James instantly.
“You have a lot of Spiritual Power. It’s going to benefit me a lot.”
Although the woman was gorgeous, her face was cold and terrifying. She suddenly raised her hand and swung her sharp claws
at James’ head.
A white radiance emerged from James’ body, forming a protective shield to block the attack.
However, the woman was exceptionally strong.
James resisted the powerful force, but his legs sank deep into the ground.
“What are you doing here, Thea?”

James looked at the demon-like woman emitting a black aura. It was none other than his beloved Thea.
He never imagined the person he had to save in his third trial was her.
