The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 6983
Amid the endless explosions, two figures simultaneously flew out and were separated by tens of thousands of light-years before steadying themselves, staggering, Emperor Stavros was covered in blood. He looked at the massive bloody hole in his Ultimate Golden Body, his eyes shooting out intense rays of fury as he suddenly raised his head.
On the other side, the figure revealed itself as James. His hair was disheveled, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Yet, he wore a fierce smile full of battle spirit.
"You finally appeared,” Emperor Stavros said through gritted teeth. "James Caden, I didn't expect you to become this strong."
"I don't know either," James replied with a smile and a shake of his head. " However, taking you down shouldn’t be a problem."
"You're so arrogant!" Emperor Stavros immediately stood straight. "Do you think two clones and a second body could injure me? You underestimate the Forty-Ninth Heaven."
"No, you're wrong." James shrugged. "They weren't my clones. All of them were second bodies. My real clone is here.”
As he spoke, James activated his Zen to summon the Forty-Nine Primordial Spirits Clones, surrounding Emperor Stavros.

Seeing this, the contempt on Emperor Stavros' face was replaced by shock. 'The Forty-Nine Primordial Spirits Clones are truly rare in this world. Is this the power of the Three Treasures Integration?"
"You'll see the true Three Treasures Integration soon," James said with a faint smile. "Before that, I'll give you a chance to live out of respect for an old acquaintance."
Emperor Stavros' fury skyrocketed. "With just you, speaking so boastfully-"
"I can kill your mortal body, and I can also kill your divine body," James interrupted. "Am I right, Xayvion?"
At the mention of Xayvion, Emperor Stavros' anger turned into astonishment. After a moment, he let out a sinister laugh. "I thought you wouldn't recognize me. I didn’t expect you to remember.”
"Of course," James said with a smile. "Your true identity surprised me. If I'd known, I wouldn't have turned you into a cuckoo bird."
Emperor Stavros clenched his fists. "What would you turn me into, then?"
"At the very least, I should have made you an ostrich," James replied with a slight smile. "Maybe then you could bury your head in the sand and dream a little longer.”
Emperor Stavros stammered, "You..."
"Don't be so quick to get angry," James said mockingly. "Our enmity has been irreconcilable since the Dark World. However, I’m still curious. Why would one of the Five Path Emperors of the Forty-Ninth Heaven lower himself to the Mortal Dimension and disguise himself as a bird? What are you hiding?"
Faced with James' question, the anger on Emperor Stavros' face turned into a laugh. James stared at him, waiting for an answer.
After a long while, Emperor Stavros spoke coldly with his hands behind his back, "James, do you think killing the Path Emperors will let you ascend to the Supreme Path?"
