No, he never was able to get to the Abyssal Source. His ritual to merge with a spectre was a success in the aspect that the spectre didn't overwhelm him and devour his soul like what happens to literally everyone else, but he was still unable to tap into the Source directly. Any farther attempts for him to delve into the Source WOULD overwhelm him and devour his soul. That's why Limbo's preferred method of execution is to feed niggas to the Abyss. Best case scenario, he's able to use them as a link to the Abyssal Source. Worst case scenario, they get their soul devoured and are, yknow, executed. That's why Limbo sacrificed Ark to the Abyss after he committed high treason. But the ritual got fucked up by Albaire in a perfectly specific way which let Ark merge with the Source. That's why Limbo gets such a boner for Ark in his storyline, because he realizes that Ark managed to connect to the Abyssal Source itself and not get consumed by it (though the Source does wall Ark out and tries to consume him on a daily basis, preventing Ark from achieving apotheosis himself). Limbo sees Ark as his method of finally getting to the Source, but Ark is a defiant little gamer girl.
