The Almighty Dragon General

With unwavering determination, James and Zella swiftly traversed the realm of the past. As they approached a tangled intersection, James dispatched dozens of his Primordial Spirits to navigate the way ahead. Any past forms that blocked their path were either bypassed or swiftly eliminated without hesitation.

The Primordial Spirits surged forward, moving through the River of Time with formidable speed and force. After an indeterminate span of time, they converged in a vast, eerily silent star cluster shrouded in mist. This domain comprised thousands of enormous universes, interconnected by long purple-gold light bridges resembling a dense spider web. At the center stood a colossal universe with an impossibly tall cloud ladder, exuding divine splendor.

Zella remarked, "That should be the lair of the Waitara Path's past form."

"He certainly went to great lengths to hide here," James mused, narrowing his eyes.

Zella cautioned, "I doubt it's going to be easy. I'm afraid the real challenge has just begun."

As they spoke, two figures emerged from the mist ahead. James recognized them as Yancy Quaid, the Behaterm Sect's former leader, and Wylie Harriet, a Micro Genesis World ruler. Their expressions turned to surprise upon seeing James and Zella.
