Chapter 3168


    If anyone else had known James’ aspirations, they would definitely have been bbergasted.


    People who could form a second Ousia were already considered prodigies. It was rare for people to be


    capable of forming a third Ousia. Those who could develop a fourth Ousia were among the best of the


    best.


    Cultivating nine Ousias was an astronomical achievement.


    Yet, James wanted to cultivate a tenth one and break the universe’s record.


    Even Ancestral Gods could not surpass the limits set by the Heavenly Path.


    300 years had passed since James had entered the Azure Realm. He had been wandering around the


    net all this time and stopping only asionally to cultivate.


    James and Nico encountered many dangers along the way.


    Fortunately, Nico was powerful enough to deal with them.


    “Where do we go next, James?”


    Nico looked around, pointed ahead, and said, “That’s the only ce we haven’t been to yet.”


    James stood up and looked in the direction pointed by Nico.


    The area ahead of them was cloaked in ck mist, and it was impossible to see what was past it.


    Even with their Divine Senses, they could not sense what has hidden behind the ck mist.


    James said, “That area seems quite unusual. My Divine Sense is unable to see through the mist. If my


    guess is right, that area might be rted to the disappearance of the Azure Realm’s living beings.”


    Nico said boldly, “Then let’s go check it out.”


    “Alright.” James nodded.


    After a brief discussion, the two rushed toward the unknown area ahead.


    Then, they walked into the dark mist.


    Light waspletely blocked out of the area, and it was impossible to see what was ahead.


    Even using their Divine Senses, they could only detect a mere few kilometers around them.

    “Sir, this ce seems a little eerie.”


    Nico’s hoarse voice was shaky in the darkness.


    James whispered, “Be careful.”


    Nico walked in front of James and carefully surveyed the surroundings.


    The ck mist around them contained corrosive power, which ate through James’ skin and slowly


    melted his flesh.


    Although the corrosive effect was gradual, James knew his body would eventually be destroyed if he


    stayed in the area too long, leaving only his soul behind.


    “This ce is exactly as Emperor Jabari described. There’s only darkness and no light. The energy


    here even has corrosive power.”


    James said solemnly, “Be careful, Nico. We might’ve already entered the Dark World. Even if we have


    yet to, the Azure Realm is still connected to the Dark World.”


    “What exactly is the Dark World, James?”


    Nico was a Fifth Heaven Grand Emperor but had never heard of or read of the Dark World in ancient


    records.


    James ryed the information he obtained from Emperor Jabari to Nico.


    Hearing this, Nico had a clearer grasp of their situation. He took a deep breath and said, “I wouldn’t


    have guessed that another world like this existed if you hadn’t told me about it.”


    James said, “The Dark World is very strange. Even a Ninth Heaven Grand Emperor like Emperor


    Jabari barely knows about it. We have to be cautious.”


    “By the way…”


    James suddenly noticed something strange and asked. “How long has it been since we entered this


    region?”


    Nico was startled by James’ question.


    He was a powerhouse and had a keen sense of time. However, he could not sense how much time had


    passed.


    “I feel like we haven’t been here long, but also as if we were here for many years,” said Nico.
