The Almighty Dragon General

Emperor Jabari was trying to divine the area and find materials to rebuild his body.
However, the Extrapolation Path was from the Illuminated World, so its power was weakened significantly in the Dark World.
He could only estimate the rough direction of the materials and not their specific location.
He was still weak from the previous battle, and the Illuminated World’s powers were almost completely useless in the Dark
World.
“James, I can only divine a rough estimation of where the materials might be. Keep going forward. I can’t tell you for how long
you’ll need to keep advancing though. You’ll have to get closer to it for me to pinpoint its location.”
Emperor Jabari’s voice came from the Celestial Abode.
“Alright.” James nodded.
He turned to Nico and said, “Let’s keep going forward.”
Along the way, Emperor Jabari had to keep observing their surroundings and guiding James toward the material.
James continued to proceed in spite of the darkness and had no idea how long had passed.
“Turn left.”
James suddenly snapped back to reality after hearing Emperor Jabari’s voice.
“What happened just now?”
James was alarmed.
Just now, he was moving forward unconciously. If not for Emperor Jabari’s voice, he would’ve continued mindlessly.
“The Dark World is terrifying...”
James took a deep breath to steady himself.
The deeper they advanced into the Dark World, the stronger the corrosive power of the mist.
James raised his hand. He saw thick, black mist on his hand, slowly devouring his flesh. Blood began to ooze out from his palm.

He wanted to use his energy to heal his wounds, but his powers had little effect in the Dark World. So, he was unable to treat his
injury.
Even the Demonic Energy in his body was rendered useless, and he could only exert a bit of it.
“This place is creeping me out.”
James murmured, “At this rate, my body is going to be eroded by the Dark Power here.”
He turned toward Nico.
Nico, on the other hand, was doing fine. His cultivation rank was much higher, and was physically much stronger. Therefore, the
corrosive powers from the black mist had yet to affect him.
“Emperor Jabari, I don’t think going on like this is feasible. The mist here will devour my body here and it’ll soon cease to exist.”
James asked Emperor Jabari for an alternative.
Emperor Jabari fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, “I know very little about the Dark World, James. I’ve tried divining to
find a solution. The only way for you I can sense for you to survive here is to cultivate a Path of the Dark World.
“A Path of the Dark World?” The suggestion horrified James.
“Yeah. You’ll need to learn a Path of the Dark World, then absorb the Dark Power here and convert it into your own. After that,
you’ll be able to form an Ousia as well.”
“Let me try.”
James immediately sat in a lotus position and tried to absorb the power within the Dark World to convert it into his own power.
However, the Illuminated World’s cultivation methods were ineffective in the Dark World. Therefore, James could not rely on
previously used cultivation methods to absorb the Dark World’s power.
Emperor Jabari’s voice came from the Celestial Abode. “You can’t do that. It’s not going to work. I’ve stayed in the Dark World for
three thousand Epochs. I’ve already tried it before.”

“I’ve studied the Dark World’s power. The power here can only be absorbed by evil spirits. When I got lost in the Dark World, I
tried to create a cultivation method that could be used by the living. However, I never succeeded despite all that time.”
