The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 6489
Zeux exclaimed, "Invisibility?"
Startled, Hador also turned around. At that moment, a mysterious force pierced through the void and sliced a few strands of his snow-white beard.
While still confused, he noticed black, gray, and white lights before him.
They quickly merged and morphed into a handsome yet unfamiliar man.
The man held a jar of Chaos Absinthe in one hand and a few stands of snow-white hair in the other. He grinned at them triumphantly.
"J-James?" Hador's lips twitched, his eyes full of shock.
The youthful man took a sip of the Chaos Absinthe. Then, lights with hues of gray, black, and white flickered before coalescing into the form of a middle-aged gentleman who radiated an aura of formidable strength and had an allure of maturity.
Hador stood in complete astonishment, utterly speechless.
Meanwhile, Zeux by his side was stroking his snow-white beard with evident satisfaction.
In the next moment, the middle-aged man transformed, assuming the exact likeness of Zeux, and imitated him, stroking his snow-white beard.
Hador pointed at the man and exclaimed, "This...this is unbelievable! I’m amazed. So this is the true power of the Hongrome Hidden Bead?"
As soon as the words left his lips, the man bearing Zeux’s likeness suddenly faltered, reverting to James' original appearance and stature. He promptly seated himself in a lotus position on the ground, focusing on regulating his breath.

Hador marveled at James with surprise and delight, incredible, simply incredible. It's the first time I've witnessed such unrestrained transformations. It would be easy for you to overpower opponents." "You're not proficient enough." Zeux approached James with a smile, summoning a golden elixir and administering it into James' mouth.
Shortly after, James' entire body shimmered with gray light. Eventually, he opened his eyes and lifted his head once more.
Hador laughed heartily, bowed respectfully, and said, "Congratulations,
James."
James uttered, "The Hongrome Hidden Bead is indeed convenient, but it drains a significant amount of energy, especially invisibility. With my current reserve of Hongrome Energy, I can only maintain it for a short period. It might be more practical to use it to alter my appearance and conceal my aura instead."
He rose slowly from the ground, bowed respectfully to Zeux, and clasped his hands, saying, 'Thank you."
Zeux replied, "No need to thank me. It's not mine to begin with." After drawing close to James, he whispered, "I stole it from the Law of Paths."
James looked at Zeux with a mixture of disbelief and amusement, and then both erupted into laughter simultaneously.
Hador, standing by, appeared perplexed. He parted his lips but remained silent.
After a brief pause, Zeux placed a hand on James' shoulder. 'With such an exceptional Supernatural Power, you'll survive in the Genesis Worlds. However, I must warn you to refrain from trying to break through the Zymurgy before you reach the Daeclon Rank." "You’re smart and should know how to handle Tai Chi. Nevertheless, I hope you can build a solid foundation. Employ both gentleness and strength and draw from the depths of your capabilities.”
James gazed at Zeux earnestly and nodded, saying, "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."
Zeux smiled warmly, then turned away with an air of relaxation. "Alright, I’ve assisted you in accomplishing this significant task and repaid my debt. From this point forward, I won't be indebted to anyone."
Afterward, Zeux glanced at Hador and said, "It's time to return that foolish disciple of mine, right?"
Startled by the sudden question, Hador bowed respectfully and replied smilingly, "Are you sure he'll return with you?"
Zeux responded wryly, if this were in the past, then he wouldn’t. But now that the Genesis World boasts a new powerhouse, he can't change that."
Hador cast one final glance at James, chuckled, and then nodded in agreement.
Zeux waved his hand, and a surge of energy pulsed through the void.
In the blink of an eye, a chilling, murderous aura surged forth, materializing into the form of Clayton, who instantly descended to the ground.
As soon as Clayton saw Zeux, he swiftly dropped to his knees and greeted, "Master." "Have you indulged yourself long enough? It's about time you come home," Zeux stated without entertaining any further discussion.
Clayton rose to his feet. He looked at Zeux, then turned to James before sighing resignedly.
Meanwhile, James was utterly dumbfounded.
Jame exclaimed, "No, wait. Huh? Y-you're Mr. Clayton's master?"
Zeux turned to James and said, "Mr. Clayton? Yianni and I share a bond of life and death. You, being the successor of Yianni, are of the same hierarchy as Clayton. I'd already be a form of flattery if you addressed him by his name."
