Chapter 1118: 1118
Chapter 1118 Shards of the World
It took about thirty minutes to go through the waterfall . Judging by the wyrm's speed, the waterfall was about tens of thousands of kilometers wide .
Everything about the Dark Realm was so vast and immense that it was frightening .
Finally, there was a faint glow in front of them .
A pale white ray of light shot toward them .
The roar of the Primordial Chaos Waterfall had disappeared .
"We're out," said the old butler . He sounded as though he had just survived a life-threatening ordeal .
The wyrm gave out a long howl and landed on the ground .
It shook its body slightly, and flesh grew above its skeletal structure rapidly . In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a winged and brightly colored white tiger that looked incredibly majestic . It was filled with spiritual qi and it had completely concealed all traces of the dark aura it had displayed earlier on .
Ye Qingyu nodded and stroked its head gently in approval .
After consecutively devouring the powers of a few extremely powerful beings, the wyrm already became spiritual . In fact, it was full of spiritual qi and it did not have to be told what to do . It could read the thoughts of the people around it and knew what to do, just like an unknowing child that had finally turned into an adult . It appeared more tame now, or rather, one could say that it was more "human" like .
The wyrm gave out a long howl as a reply to Ye Qingyu .
Finally, they had arrived at the real major area of the Dark Realm .
Ye Qingyu looked around them .
The core of the Dark Realm did not look like what Ye Qingyu had imagined it to be . It was not enveloped in darkness, but instead, it was even brighter than the outskirts of the domain . A pale white light hovered in the air that did not look natural . It shone down upon the domain, and everything Ye Qingyu and company saw looked white, tranquil, and cold, causing them to look deathly .
It was different from the border districts on the outskirts of the domain . All they could see were vast stretches of wasteland, crumbled walls, palaces, grass huts, destroyed mountain ranges, cracked-up land, dried-up rivers, burned-down forests, and of course, white bones strewn everywhere . . .
"So, the so-called Dark Realm is actually a completely wasted world?" Ye Qingyu understood a little about the domain now .
It was a forsaken and broken dimension .
A completely barren world .
Everything they laid their eyes on was either damaged or scorched earth . What was more intriguing was the fact that damaged palaces and grass huts were buildings that should not appear beside each other, but here they were a few hundred meters away from each other, as if beggars used to live beside the royal palace . It did not make any sense at all .
Ye Qingyu even spotted a very strange metal product . It was constructed with normal steel, but he did not know what it was used for . It was covered in rust, shaped very weirdly, and buried halfway into the ground . . .
Furthermore, there was another strange material that looked like glazed ceramic but it was not entirely so . It was completely untouched by rust but extremely brittle . It reflected off different colors and shapes, and he had not seen anything like it in the Vast Thousand Domains . . .
Ye Qingyu continued advancing with the wyrm and the old butler . Soon after, they encountered a huge piece of the strange material from before . It was red in color and incomplete, as if it was a shard of something huge .
"My lord, these things are commonly seen forms of waste material in the Dark Realm . They're too fragile to be constructed into weapons, and they cannot withstand heat or cold . They do not have any use for martial arts experts, but the native Dark Ones are very good at using them . They use fire to bake and soften them into a mud-like substance that can be kneaded into various types of other items . . . " the old butler said . He immediately began to explain after noticing Ye Qingyu's perturbed expression . "The Dark Ones call this material plastic . It's a strange name . "
"Plastic?" Ye Qingyu remarked, feeling curious .
It was the first time he had heard of the name .
"Yes, most of those lowly aliens cannot practice formation magic or martial arts . To survive, they behave like burrowing rats and dig everywhere and eat anything, giving them a unique power unrelated to formations or martial arts . It is said that the Dark Ones found many things in various ruins and dumps that do not belong to this world . After further experimentation, they managed to create many strange items with various uses, such as this plastic . Even though it's fragile, it's very light and can be used to store water; liquid will not seep through it . . . " said the old butler in a somewhat haphazard fashion .
Evidently, he did not know much about the Dark Ones .
"Things that do not belong to this world?" Ye Qingyu was perturbed .
The old butler chuckled and explained as if the information he was about to say was treasure . "My lord, there's something you do not know . It is rumored that the Dark Realm was not born of natural causes . Instead, countless number of years ago, a few Supreme Emperors came together to form the world, and the original material used to form the Dark Realm was from worlds from other dimensions that had already been destroyed . . . The shards of those worlds drifted in the infinite wilderness of time and space, as if they had been exiled by the Eternal . All life had been extinguished from them, and the Supreme Beings of the Vast Thousand Domains took part of them with their great magical abilities and formed them into the Dark Realm before merging it into the Vast Thousand Domains as a buffer zone to block off intrusions by foreign invaders . As such, we can find many strange objects in the Dark Realm that cannot be explained by any knowledge system of the Vast Thousand Domains, even though they exist . It is said that they are objects left behind in the pieces of those destroyed worlds, and they belong to them . "
Ye Qingyu was a little clearer now .
