Chapter 1531: Dilapidated World
Just like the giant whale, the white pangolin was also a corpse puppet.
Similarly, its flesh was equally "fresh".
Fresh blood and flesh would mean Wu Yu had much to gain using the devouring ability of the Heaven Devouring Titanic Beast.
Nonetheless, he was clear how daunting it was to defeat the black whale previously.
The trio wouldn't dare to be careless and would give their all.
In fact, Wu Yu even used Immolate slightly so they could kill it swiftly.
With their prior experiences, they even formulated a plan in advance.
When they saw the white pangolin, the trio struck immediately. Wu Yu was still the focus and his movements was decisive and violent.
Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi were top notch in assisting. It was especially so for Full Moon of Nanshan who was able to create illusions to confuse the mind of his opponent. Although the effects on corpse puppet were limited, he was still of great help to Wu Yu.
As for Wu Yu, he transformed into the golden Immortal Ape and fought the pangolin head on with his Thunder Flame Immortal Emperor's Celestial Pillar.
Despite being a corpse puppet, it had herculean strength. When clashing, the sea was uprooted and the earth shuddered.
More importantly, it could also dig into the ground to avoid attacks from Wu Yu and others from time to time. Its movements were elusive and the armored scales only fortified his defense.
Fortunately, Wu Yu and others were well prepared. The trio coordinated perfectly and Wu Yu managed to blast it into smithereens using Immolate with Submerged Cloud Seal.
He wasn't afraid of Immolate as he could devour and digest his enemy subsequently. Although the enlightenment he could gain was limited due to it being a corpse puppet, the exhaustion of strength and injuries sustained could quickly be recovered. As for the remaining, he could even Impart to Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi.
Therefore, Full Moon of Nanshan had been teasing Wu Yu as a mama bear. Both Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi were two cubs, waiting for Wu Yu to feed them.
After finishing off the white pangolin, the other half a door surfaced as they had expected. It looked exactly the same as the previous one with the only difference of one being the left and the other the right.
They didn't stop and left the place swiftly to get back on land. At this point, the Ancient Demon Realm didn't seem to have changed.
Wu Yu and others focused on recovery first before retrieving the two halves of the door. Although the engravings on it were no longer clear, it was still apparent which side was the left or right.
"My guess is once you put them together, we could expect something magical to happen," commented Full Moon of Nanshan.
"Do you even have to say that? Fool!" Ye Xixi still wanted to quibble against him as they had gotten used to it over the years. If they weren't going against each other, Wu Yu would find it weird instead.
While they were bantering, Wu Yu placed the two halves of the door together.
Dang!
There wasn't any change in the first instant. Shortly after and just as Wu Yu had expected, dim yellow light illuminated the four corners of the two doors. The light emitted traced and met in the middle to form the frame of the door.
Following a thud, the bronze door opened abruptly. The instant it opened, an ancient, solemn, creepy and dense demonic aura swarmed towards the trio. At that moment, the trio felt a chill down their spines.
In a split second, the door was completely open. A dim yellow vortex surfaced before their eyes. The demonic aura intensified as though a demon would rush out of the place at any moment.
Fortunately, this wasn't the case. Just the demonic aura alone was unbearable.
"To think there would be such dense demonic aura from the door. Just where would this door lead to?" Ye Xixi murmured.
"I have no idea." Wu Yu furrowed his brows and could sense the danger.
However, he was still deeply intrigued.
"Most likely, the Demon Immortal Realm." Wu Yu knew demons would ascend to the Demon Immortal Realm when they achieved immortalhood. Jiu Ying was a good example. What he didn't know was if Jiu Ying was doing well in the Demon Immortal Realm since 10,000 years had passed.
"It shouldn't be. Other than ascension, shouldn't that place be entirely unrelated to the Heavenly Domain?"
The trio couldn't come to a conclusion for now.
Wu Yu remarked, "We have gone through a lot to get here and can't just stop here. As to what is inside, we will know once we enter it."
"Alright!"
"Time for another adventure. How exciting!"
The other two didn't have any objections.
Nonetheless, Wu Yu still asked them to get into the Floating Dreams Pagoda for safety. First, he cast Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth to shrink his body to the smallest. Without further hesitation, he charged into the door.
When he vanished, the two doors slammed shut immediately. Immediately after, they vanished from the Ancient Demon Realm without leaving a trace.
Wu Yu found himself advancing through a dim yellowish tunnel.
At this point, he didn't know where would he end up. Nonetheless, the demonic aura was getting denser and more robust to the point he felt his scalp go numb from the oppressive sensation.
For him to have such feeling at his current cultivation realm, it was clear that the place he was heading to was a frightening one.
Before he could get a clear understanding of what's happening, he found two bronze pendants in his hands. Taking a closer look, they were similar to the two halves of the door, just smaller in size.
"This should be similar to the Gateway to the Ancient Demon Realm. With them, I'll be able to move within the two realms freely." Wu Yu stared ahead and sank into deep thoughts.
"However, what would be in the world ahead of me? Would it be the Demon Immortal Realm ruled by the eternal demon emperors? That would be the most likely case."
For immortals, the Demon Immortal Realm was a mysterious place.
It was said that one could find a demon who was about to ascend from the mortal domain and he could tag along with the demon to ascend into the Demon Immortal Realm. However, the issue was that returning from the Demon Immortal Realm seemed impossible.
As such, no one would be so foolish to want to enter that place.
At least from the memories of those in the last ten Yuans, the Demon Immortal Realm was becoming more and more mysterious. Information on the Demon Immortal Realm was almost non-existence.
Wu Yu had only recalled about the Demon Immortal Realm because Jiu Ying had headed to that place previously.
Now, he just wanted to continue cultivating to become an immortal king and eventually an eternal immortal emperor as soon as possible. Only then could he continue to be with Luo Pin and stood a chance of going against the Mighty Miracle God and others. Otherwise, he would be the target of scorn for eternity.
However, hiding wouldn't do if he wanted to become strong. Now that he had the opportunity for this adventure, he was naturally willing to hone himself. Otherwise, he didn't know how long would it be for him to openly show up in the Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm to meet her.
How long would it be for him to move around the sky palaces openly using his own identity?
Although he was still far from those days, he was willing to work hard and risk his life for it. This was the promise he had given to Luo Pin.
His eyes cleared up at the thought of Luo Pin. Soon, Wu Yu was out of the tunnel and he guessed he had travelled across a long distance since.
After all, the Demon Immortal Realm might not be within the Heavenly Domain.
When he came into a new world, he opened his eyes and surveyed this world with his Eyes of Fire and Gold. He was stumped.
First, he was certain this was a vast and endless world.
This world might be as huge as the 8,000 Sky Palaces or 10,000 Levels of Hell.
However, it was also completely different from the sky palaces or Hell.
For example, the sky palaces were made up of levels and levels of land.
However, the world before him was a massive flat plain, much like theJambu Realm being magnified countless times.
The difference being this was a three-dimensional world with all of its environment and fauna suspended in the air. Even the mountains, land and sea were suspended and floating aimlessly.
There were trillions and trillions of continents, mountains and regions of sea and Wu Yu couldn't see the edge to it.
What filled the atmosphere was robust demonic aura.
Much denser than what Wu Yu had ever experienced. As such, he was almost certain this might very well be the legendary Demon Immortal Realm.
This place had the scale comparable to the sky palaces and was a utopia for demons that had achieved immortalhood.
However, why would Wu Yu be stumped?
This was because this was a dilapidated world!
Looking across the endless space, at least half of the Qian Kun space had shattered, including the void behind it. Countless void cracks scattered across the area. If one fell into the cracks, they might be ripped apart.
For the remaining half, they were between cracks and looked on the verge of crumbling. At any time, the space might be pulled into the shattered void and collapse. Like surviving under a borderless net or the mouth of a huge beast, the remaining intact area might be engulfed at any moment.
In fact, Wu Yu saw a region of space fused into the shattered region shortly after he arrived.
Although demonic aura was robust, the demonic spiritual qi was thin. This would mean cultivation in this place was arduous or at least tougher than in the sky palaces.
Wu Yu had a thought in mind. If the 8,000 Sky Palaces were destroyed, it would probably look like this.
However, was this the Demon Immortal Realm?
"Hey guys, come out and have a look."
After he was certain that they were safe, Wu Yu let Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi out.
"Damn! What is this wretched place? In this deserted world, there is definitely not a single beauty!" Full Moon of Nanshan remarked dejectedly.
Ye Xixi asked uneasily, "Did the Demon Immortal Realm get destroyed? There seems to be some signs of life. However, who could possibly destroy such a huge world to this extent?"
"I recalled Wu Yu said this is probably shattered void. His Mystique could only shatter a small area while this is trillion times larger. Who could have possibly done it?"
Wu Yu definitely had no idea.
He looked around and said, "Just thinking about it wouldn't do. Let's find some locals. We still aren't sure if this is the Demon Immortal Realm."
He kept the two doors which would bring him back to this place in the future. As for returning, Wu Yu believed he could do so with the Gateway to the Ancient Demon Realm.
"Let's go!"
The trio chose a direction casually before moving through the gaps of the cracks towards a floating continent a far distance away. They flew in the air and approached the continent rapidly......
