The Eternal Night Domain had trapped both of them and the Seven Heroes of the Chaotic Era for endless eons. Throughout the many epochs of the past, they had never entered the Eternal Heaven Realm. There was certainly a great secret hidden here that was unknown to others, and he wanted to pry it out.
Moreover, he recalled that the mystery of the Eternal Night Domain was something even the three Immortal Kings of the Donghuang Clan did not know, yet Tianhuang Shendi was aware of it. This seemed somewhat eerie.
What kind of place was the Eternal Night Domain, exactly?
What connection did it have with the Eternal Heaven Realm?
"Are you living beings born from the Eternal Night Domain? What is that place? Why have the beings of the Eternal Night Domain been unable to leave for endless eons, and why have they not invaded the Eternal Heaven Realm?"
Ye Chen directly questioned the two Dark Giants.
The Dark True Dragon and the Dark Demonic Tiger naturally dared not disobey, but regarding the Eternal Night Domain, they revealed a rare trace of fear—something extremely difficult to witness on a Giant.
"We do not belong to the Eternal Night Domain. In fact, the vast majority of living beings in the Eternal Night Domain originally come from the outside world. Like us, we initially belonged to Chaos Holy Spirits nurtured within the Chaos Sea. Of course, they can also be called Postnatal Chaos Demon Gods," said the Dark True Dragon, which had now transformed into a ten-zhang-long dragon, its scales reflecting an eerie dark light, exceptionally strange.
Wait!
Ye Chen caught the key point: initially belonged to Chaos Holy Spirits nurtured within the Chaos Sea.
Could it be that the Eternal Night Domain did not belong to the Chaos Sea?
The Dark Demonic Tiger said, "In fact, we believe that neither the Eternal Night Domain nor the Eternal Heaven Realm belongs to the Chaos Sea. They should both be places that fell from the legendary Land of Origin, containing different rules of heaven and earth. I believe you can sense this as well."
Ye Chen nodded, because both the Eternal Night Domain and the Eternal Heaven Realm contained peculiarities not found in the Chaos Sea.
For example, the Eternal Heaven Realm contained a special Eternal Power that could accelerate the cultivation of Supreme Ones and above, allowing their Origin Great Dao to strengthen beyond what was possible in the outside world. This was extraordinary.
As for the Eternal Night Domain, not only were all living beings tainted with dark attributes, but more eerily, they had basically all attained the Dao through Body Attainment.
The Seven Heroes of the Chaotic Era were one thing—they were Xiantian Chaos Demon Gods, inherently possessing powerful bodies. But beings like the Dark True Dragon and the Dark Demonic Tiger were Chaos Holy Spirits, Postnatal Chaos Demon Gods. This category could attain the Dao through laws.
Similarly, when Taiyu Immortal King pierced through the Eternal Night Domain earlier, penetrating the darkness, the Dark Supreme Ones and Dark Quasi-Giants he encountered had all attained the Dao through Body Attainment.
This seemed very strange.
It indicated that the rules of heaven and earth in the Eternal Night Domain were different; the path of laws was difficult for attaining the Dao, leaving only Body Attainment.
According to the descriptions of the two Dark Giants, before their birth, they were both within Chaos Eggs nurtured innately within the Chaos Sea. They would have truly been born within a few tens of thousands of years, becoming flawless Xiantian Chaos Holy Spirits.
But unfortunately, through the spacetime tunnels occasionally derived from the Chaos Sea, they accidentally fell into the Eternal Night Domain. Then, after absorbing the aura of the Eternal Night Domain, they were born as dark beings.
Because the Eternal Night Domain was a lawless land of survival of the fittest, great wars had erupted continuously since ancient times. The Dark True Dragon, upon birth, found itself within the corpse of a Dark Supreme One, growing by devouring the Supreme One's flesh and blood.
The Dark Demonic Tiger's experience was actually quite similar.
During their weak periods, both avoided being hunted by stronger beings and also sought out the corpses of supreme powerhouses, constantly devouring and growing, step by step ultimately attaining the Dark Great Dao and becoming Dark Supreme Ones.
Because the Great Dao in the Eternal Night Domain was sparse and scarce, any powerhouse who grew up within it had attained the Dao through Body Attainment. Very few had attained the Dao through magical power, and even those who did came from the outside world—they were rare and weaker among peers of the same level.
Both the Dark True Dragon and the Dark Demonic Tiger knew how to hide. Even after becoming Supreme Ones, they remained low-key, continuously growing. Only after finally becoming Dark Quasi-Giants did they erupt, engaging in slaughter everywhere. After experiencing multiple epochs, they ultimately became Dark Giants.
During this time, the two Dark Giants naturally had not considered leaving the Eternal Night Domain. It was just that the Eternal Night Domain was very special. Any living being tainted with the aura of the Eternal Night Domain, even one as powerful as an Ancient Giant or a Primordial Giant like the Flame Demon God, could not leave. They would be sealed by the rules of the Eternal Night Domain. If they forcibly tried to leave, the various Dark Giants within the Eternal Night Domain would surge forth to hunt them down.
"Hunt them down?" Ye Chen frowned.
"Yes, exactly, hunt them down," the Dark True Dragon and Dark Demonic Tiger said with lingering fear. "The Eternal Night Domain is very eerie; it canintangible influence / imperceptibly influence all living beings to attack. Three epochs ago, a Dark Primordial Giant tried to forcibly leave the Eternal Night Domain. That time, including the two of us, all dark beings lost their reason and attacked madly. In the end, that Dark Primordial Giant had not even truly left the Eternal Night Domain before being killed by the host of dark powerhouses!"
Ye Chen frowned. This was demonic; the Eternal Night Domain could drive all living beings, including Primordial Giants, to madness.
But he also looked at the two of them. Why had he not been attacked when he took them away?
Moreover, when they went to the Primordial Immortal Realm, weren't they afraid of being besieged?
The Dark True Dragon said, "The Primordial Immortal Realm is the first ancient universe of the Chaos Sea, with Immortal Kings standing like a forest. Moreover, it is said there is also an invincible Immortal Ancestor throughout the ages. If we and the Seven Heroes of the Chaotic Era had barged into the Primordial Immortal Realm at that time, the Eternal Night Domain would not have acted, not daring to provoke the Primordial Immortal Realm. As for you being able to lead us away, it was because you displayed excessively powerful strength, to the point that even the Eternal Night Domain was wary and unwilling to act."
Hearing this, Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. Was the Eternal Night Domain afraid of him?
The Dark Demonic Tiger said, "You are too strong. The Eternal Night Domain can sense your power, which surpasses its suppression. It also knows that if it tries to imprison you further, there is a high chance the Eternal Night Domain itself could be pierced through, causing irreversible damage to it. So it chose to retreat. Do you understand?"
Ye Chen smiled. Sure enough, after reaching the Half-Step Overlord level, especially as a Half-Step Overlord who had attained the Dao through Body Attainment, perhaps his Great Dao laws would be suppressed to a certain extent within the Eternal Night Domain, but his body would not. His power originated from himself, not relying on external forces, so the Eternal Night Domain could not suppress it.
Therefore, the Eternal Night Domain was also quite wary of him, a Half-Step Overlord.
Ye Chen said, "You have lived in the Eternal Night Domain for multiple epochs. Have you ever seen a person like this?"
He released several wisps of immortal light, simulating the appearance of the Formless Monarch.
Since Tianhuang Shendi knew of the Eternal Night Domain, then the Formless Monarch must also know, and might very likely have entered the Eternal Night Domain.
Why he came to the Eternal Night Domain was something that made Ye Chen quite curious.
