James could recognize the unknown creatures’ aura after just a brief fight with them. Theoretically, he should be able to trace their aura.
However, James had utterly lost track of his opponent.
He sensed his surroundings but could not feel the presence of the unknown creatures.
Since he was in the Unknown Region, the extent to which he could extend his senses was limited.
“What kind of creatures are they? Why are they so strange?” James frowned.
After failing to detect the unknown creatures, James quickly rushed to Xerxes’ side.
Xerxes was sitting in a lotus position. His hair was disheveled, his face was pale, and there were blood stains around his lips. He was circulating his energy to heal his wounds. Meanwhile, Sienna stood by the side, protecting him.
When James appeared, Sienna asked, “Are you alright?”
James nodded lightly and said, “I’m fine.”
Sienna asked, “What about those evil creatures?”
James shook his head and said, “I don’t know. After exchanging a few moves with them, I can tell I’m slightly stronger. However, the creature I fought just now was bizarre. It integrated into the dark mist, and I couldn’t detect its whereabouts. I’m sure it’s lurking nearby, so watch out for sneak attacks.”
Hearing this, Sienna immediately raised her guard.
James squatted down, looked at Xerxes who was in a lotus position on the ground, and asked, “How are you?”
Xerxes’ expression became solemn. If he had not reached the Lord Rank’s Eighth Stage when he returned to look through his family’s ancient books, he would not have been able to unlock the seal on his ancestor’s note.
“Cut to the chase.” James was eager to find out the truth.
Xerxes glanced at James, nodded lightly, and said, “The cause of the Dark Strife is the Acme Path.”
“The Acme Path?” James was startled.
Xerxes nodded and said, “Yeah. It’s a hidden passage in the Dark World’s Unknown Region. It’s called the Acme Path. It’s rumored that anyone who crosses this passage can go beyond the Lord Rank’s Ninth Stage and reach the Acme Rank.
Hearing this, James was puzzled.

"Good things take time" Lol yeah, a hundred and fifty trillion years, apparently....
How was Sheldon Jame's first disciple? Wasn't the Black Eagle King the first? Where has he disappeared to all this time?...
Unbelievable... I thought James was rid of the annoying "honey, darling" Thea by going to the Demonic Realm, but now she's gone there too *puke*...
This Thea is the most narcissistic woman of all, constantly interrupting James's cultivation, getting in the way of his plans and slowing him down. He was well rid of her but the author went bonkers a few hundred chapters into the story and decided to pair her back with James.. Yuck!...
Thea doesn't deserve James, it so sad he loves her...
Thank you so much for all the effort. I love all the stories I've read. I hope to continue reading "The Almighty Dragon General" story. 😊...
