Chapter 5454
James, Thea, and Zeno shifted through the darkness. Soon, they arrived outside an
ancient ruin called the Sky Tomb, which was classified as a forbidden zone.
Zeno came to a stop outside the ruin. He looked ahead of them and said, "This place is
called the Sky Tomb. As its name suggests, it's a tomb of deceased powerhouses. The
Prison World is located in the depths of the Sky Tomb. In today's Dark World, hardly
anyone knows about the Prison World.
James' brows furrowed. He knew about the Sky Tomb because Latrusse had given him a
map of the Dark World. Thus, he had a rough idea of the locations of some places. The Sky
Tomb was a well-known forbidden area, also named as one of the Ten Dangerous Regions.
Even powerhouses at the Holy Celestial Rank would not easily venture into the Sky Tomb.
Even Latrusse, the Taeytons' Leader, had no idea there was a Prison World within the Sky
Tomb.
"Didn't the leaders of various races come together to set up the formation? Logically

speaking, there should be a bunch of people who know about the Prison World. Why are
only a few people aware of it? Not even the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion knows about the
Prison World," James asked curiously.
Zeno explained, "Those who set up the formation weren't necessarily the leaders of their
races. In fact, many of them were members who were the most profound in their
respective primitive inscriptions. Back then, they took oats to never disclose the location
of the Prison World under any circumstances. Moreover..."
Suddenly, Zeno paused, and his expression became solemn. He continued, saying, "After
the Prison World was set up, the powerhouses who partook in setting it up got into
accidents one after another in the following years. Most of them are already dead. Perhaps
only powerhouses of the Four Ancestral Races and some powerful races are still alive."
James asked puzzledly, "Why did this happen?"
Zeno explained, "It's likely the Four Ancient Races joined forces to secretly kill off the rest,
just like how they united to obliterate the Glacies."

James lost his interest. He changed the topic, asking," We've already arrived near the
Prison World. Let's wait here for a while to see if Xeraiah will come after sensing the oil
lamp's whereabouts. I hope he comes quickly. If the other powerhouses sense the oil lamp
before him and arrive here, we'll be in deep trouble."
Zeno agreed, "Yeah. We can't wait for too long. Let’s take a look around the area first. I've
never been inside the Prison World before, so I don't really know much about the place."
James nodded lightly.
The trio entered the ruins and immediately noticed countless tombs around the place.
Some of the tombs were still intact, but a few had already collapsed. Each of the tombs
emitted terrifying power and resentment toward the world. Powerhouses who had not
entered the Holy Celestial Rank would never dare to step foot into the Sky Tomb.
Although James had not entered the Holy Celestial Rank, his physical body was
exceptional. Thus, he was not affected by the corrupted aura.
Thea, on the other hand, had a Tenebrous Body, so she had nothing to fear.

Meanwhile, Zeno was also fine. After all, he was once a powerhouse at the Holy Celestial
Rank's late stage and was equipped with countless skills to counter the corrupted aura.
James noticed a formation after passing by a few tombs, and the oil lamp in his storage
treasure began to react. He sensed the fluctuations ahead of him and profound
inscriptions he had never encountered before.
Despite being unfamiliar with the inscriptions, James was confident in comprehending and
deciphering the formation. However, the formation was complicated and contained the
primitive inscriptions of countless races. It would take him a long time before he could
break the formation.
"Let's wait here." James found a desolate mountain and sat down at the peak.
Thea walked over and stood beside him. Zeno looked around expectantly, waiting for
Xeraiah to show up.
Time passed by day by day.
Zeno's expectations slowly turned into disappointment.
It had been about 10,000 years since they arrived in the Sky Tomb. If Xeraiah had sensed
the oil lamp, he would have arrived by now.
