James began advancing in the darkness, following Emperor Jabari’s instructions.
“Wait a moment.”
Emperor Jabari’s voice came from the Celestial Abode.
Hearing his voice, James regained his senses and stopped moving.
Emperor Jabari said, “This isn’t the right way.”
James asked, “What happened?”
“Wait. Let me locate the exit again.”
Emperor Jabari began to relocate the way to leave.
However, his powers had little effect in the Dark World. Thus, it was impossible to find the precise path to leave. He could only
gauge the rough direction of the exit.
“Stand back.”
After a while, Emperor Jabari said, “Turn back.”
“Alright.” James turned around and started walking forward without any hesitation.
“Wait. Now, to the left...”
Emperor Jabari kept guiding James.
James followed Emperor Jabari’s instructions and kept moving forward.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, the mist ahead of them gradually dissipated, and light could be seen in the
distance.
James was overjoyed. He quickly rushed out of the Dark World, reappearing in a grayish surrounding.
“We’re out! We’re finally out of the Dark World!” James cheered.
Nico took a deep breath and said, “We’ve finally made it out.”
Immediately afterward, Nico began to sense the time of the world.
He was a Fifth Heaven Grand Emperor. Although not proficient in the Time Path, he could tell how much time had passed with
his Divine Sense.
“Ninety thousand years.”
Nico looked at James and said, “I’ve sensed the time and found that ninety thousand years have passed since we entered the
Dark World.”
James was startled and dumbfounded by the news.
“Ninety thousand years?”
It did not feel like much time had passed while they were in the Dark World. How could ninety thousand years have passed while
they wandered the Dark World?
James only had a hundred thousand years to accomplish his goal.
With the addition of the time he had spent in the Boundless Realm previously, there was little time left for him.
There were only a few thousand years left for him.
After a few thousand years passed, humanity would have to face the Fourth Calamity.
James had a solemn expression. No matter what, he had to obtain the Ancestral God Rank Elixir in the next few thousand years.
Fortunately, Emperor Jabari regained a physical body and was resurrected.
Emperor Jabari could use the Extrapolation Path’s power to locate the Ancestral God Rank Elixir.
James was confident in obtaining the Ancestral God Rank Elixir in the few thousand years he had left.
“Emperor Jabari, use your Extrapolation Path to locate the Ancestral God Rank Elixir’s whereabouts.”
Emperor Jabari’s voice came from the Celestial Abode. “There’s no need to rush. Head back to the Elixir Realm first. We’ve been
away for too long and have no idea of the situation in the Elixir Realm right now.”
“Alright.”
James nodded.
Afterward, he quickly left the Azure Realm and appeared in outer space.
Nico knew James’ actual strength and that he could not make spatial passages. Therefore, he waved his hand and created a
passage in the space. A void immediately appeared before them.
James and Nico entered through the void and disappeared from space.
As soon as they appeared at their destination, many armed warriors surrounded them. The warriors stared warily at James and
Nico who appeared out of thin air.
