The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 6480
At that moment, James was enraged. Even though he knew the person who was obliterated was just an incarnation of Light Thea, he could not accept the fact that his wife's other half was hurt.
"Do you want to accept the bet or not? If you refuse it, I'll let her suffer in scorching flames. Living will be worse than death, and the cycle will continue for eternity." Tai Chi's voice came from the Thirty-Three Heavens again."Of course, I won't spare your friend."
As soon as she finished speaking, a huge energy ball fell rapidly from the Thirty-Three Heavens, floated before James, and quickly enlarged.
Shortly after, a tiny bloody mouse could be seen darting to and fro amidst a barrage of lightning bolts within the energy sphere. It appeared on the brink of death, covered in blood.
However, what was even more harrowing was that each lightning strike inflicted numerous bloody wounds on its body, but they quickly healed. Then, it would be struck once more. The mouse went through a tormenting cycle of agony, unable to die and get it over with.

Witnessing the tragic scene, James was boiling with anger. He was naturally aware of the tortured mouse's identity. It was none other than Abelard who had ascended to become a Heavenly Path. He never expected Tai Chi to capture and torture Abelard just to threaten him.
Trembling with anger, James directed his gaze toward the Nineteenth Heaven and shouted, "If you wish to make a bet, let them go first.”
Tai Chi's laughter burst out from the Thirty-Three Heavens. 'You're indeed clever, James. But do you think the stakes you’ve brought up are reasonable?" "What are you suggesting then? James roared, unleashing an attack toward the Nineteenth Heaven.
James clenched his fist, and the anger in his heart intensified.
Suddenly, a formidable gray, black, and white force, infused with the Chaos Essence, surged through the pressure and constraints of the Nineteenth Heaven. It ascended directly to the Twentieth Heaven, aiming for the Thirty- Second Heaven. However, the force was abruptly halted by an elderly cultivator with white hair, who swiftly gathered his power.
Immediately after, the elderly cultivator descended from the Thirty-Second Heaven until he appeared before James.
Observing James, whose eyes blazed with fury like a raging beast, he swiftly brushed the dust in his hand, causing a radiant golden light to wrap around James entirely, forcibly subduing him.
The white-haired old man sighed. "Poor child. It’s an obstacle you must overcome. No matter how agonizing it may be, you must endure it. Otherwise, you'll fall for her trap."
At that moment, James trembled uncontrollably, his eyes burning fiery red, akin to a bloodthirsty beast. His Marcials Power pounded against the golden shield, trying to breach the restraint and rush to the Thirty-Third Heaven.
The white-haired elderly man lowered himself into a lotus position, clasping his hands together. With a solemn demeanor, he began to chant.
