The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 5723

News of the formation in the deepest reaches of the Dark World spread.

Over time, this place became a forbidden zone that no powerhouse could enter, turning it into the most mysterious forbidden zone in the Dark World.

The outside world referred to this place as the Dark Forbidden Zone.

James sat in a lotus position within the time formation.

While the outside world moved through endless years, his experience within the time formation was even longer.

“Boom!” A thunderous roar echoed outside the formation.

James was abruptly awakened.

His Zen leaked out, and he saw a woman being pursued.

He was shaken upon seeing this woman.

“Thea?” He was stunned.

Sitting in this place for countless ages to dilute everything with time, he had almost forgotten Thea.

Now, she reappeared.

“It's the Inner Demon.” James instantly understood.

It was not that Thea had truly appeared, but rather his Inner Demon surfacing.

Despite time’s ability to dilute everything, the image of Thea was etched in the deepest recesses of his mind and soul.

As the moment of forgetfulness approached, the Inner Demon emerged.

Specifically, the primal desire within his heart appeared.

His instinct led him to remember and recall rather than to forget.

At this moment, James’ expression was complex.

Pain etched his face as he battled the conflict within himself.

To save or not to save? Not saving meant watching Thea being pursued.

Saving meant succumbing to the influence of the Inner Demon, rendering futile the countless years of effort.

Veins bulged on his face, and sweat beads rolled down his forehead.

Slash! James made a difficult choice in agony.

Having severed all ties to the past, James made the first slash.

Following that, his entire strength gathered again, slashing the second set of shackles.

“Slash the anger.

“Slash the anxiety.

“Slash the thought.

“Slash the grief.

“Slash the fear.

“Slash the fright.” His aura continued to ascend as his entire strength relentlessly cut through the invisible shackles.

After seven slashes, he severed everything a living being should possess, reaching a state devoid of joy, sorrow, and desires.

“Phew!” After a long time, James released a deep breath.

At this moment, his entire body was drenched in sweat.
