The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 7237
Back at the Forty-Ninth Heaven, the Goyoan Temple had been reduced to rubble.
James' hair swayed lightly as nine beautiful swords circled him. He was also surrounded by a dense layer of Anonymous Gas.
Then, James flipped his palms over. In a flash, the nine swords around him shot up and merged above him. Eventually, a gigantic sword of black and white patterns glowing with a purplish-gold light was formed.
The sword hovered above James and rotated slowly. It emanated a subtle glow that gave off an indomitable aura.
James adjusted the flow of the Anonymous Gas in his body and opened his mouth. "Why hide yourself when you've gone through the trouble of coming here?"
After James said that, a ball of purplish-gold light came flying from afar and stopped somewhere in the distance.
It transformed into a man looking exactly like James but had purplish-gold eyes and red hair.
Unlike the real James, this man had an unsettling, evil aura. He radiated a terrifying amount of Waltraud Power.
The demonic James sat down facing the real James. He appeared completely at ease.
"Long time no see!" the demonic James said smilingly. "If you hadn't tried to fuse the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword, I probably would not have been able to regain my freedom again. I have to thank you forthat."

James smiled faintly. "Is this something worth getting so pleased over?
You’re no more than a sword spirit that belonged to the Waitara Path at the moment."
"I'm not a sword spirit. I'm a soul spirit," the demonic James replied unhurriedly, 'The soul spirit is required for the awakening of my Soremsia. In fact, it is the most crucial part of the awakening."
"Which soul spirit are you?" James asked.
The demonic James responded, 'You got it wrong. There's only one soul spirit, and we are practically indestructible.
'You won't be able to kill me. Only the Nine Caeloros Gods could do that if they exited the Xyrisia Gate and came after me themselves.
"Unfortunately, they couldn’t. That is because Frona, the Soremsia belonging to the Nine Caeloros Gods' leader, is in the Haleth Realm. Therefore, they can't access the gate."
James asked calmly, "Is that why you're being so cocky in front of me?"
"Hahaha!" The demonic James laughed. 'That’s not the only reason. I've also taken the living beings hostage. That includes your friends and the two Hongrome Children."
James did not seem perturbed in the slightest by the news.
"James, I acknowledge your abilities," the demonic James continued," You’re the first person to receive the Spiritual Providence and help the other realms become independent of Zymurgy since the birth of the Haleth Realm.
"That makes you much better than the Xyloria gods and Path Emperors.
"If it weren't for the powerful sword light produced during the fusion of the Wuia Demon-Slayer Sword, I wouldn’t have spotted my chance to pierce through the Spiritual Providence you had set up."
James gave a slight nod. 'You were very smart as well. The Caeloros Gods and Haleth Realm’s divine beings were all trying to look out for your reincarnated Soremsia.
'Yet, you actually separated your Soremsia and soul spirit.
'You made such a meticulous plan to fool the divine beings and the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness. So, I think you did more than just separating your soul spirit and Soremsia."
The demonic James threw his head back and burst out laughing.
"I thought there would never be another divine being from the Haleth Realm that could achieve the level of enlightenment close to mine.
