Dark Existence

## History

### Origin

These are the existences that were forced into hiding probably by the Old Villainous Heavens. Early ones such as 36-Pseudo Immortals went to the World of Death while later epochs' dark existences retreated to the Forbidden Zones or Burial Grounds.

They are all extremely powerful existences, some of them at the Pseudo-Immortal level, with many Paragon Artifacts and affinity with death energies. They once had treasures like the Primordial Will, Death Coffin, and the Death Scripture.

They are devouring essence of world and living beings for eternal life.

### Three Immortals World

When the Three Immortals: Emperor Sui, Emperor Nong, and Emperor Xi created the Three Immortals World, they opened the World of Death and unintentionally caused some Dark Existences to escape. One of them was killed by the Three Immortals while another was heavily injured; the third one escaped. Those existences resided in the Uncrossable Expanse.

### Current Era

When Li Qiye arrived in the Three Immortals World, he captured the second Dark Existence with his Dao Heart and later devoured it.

After the invasion of  Immortal Lineage orchestrated by the third Dark Existence, he tracked it down and killed it as well.

Li Qiye later ventured into the World of Death where he killed many Dark Existences in a  world shattering war that caused terrifying calamities in neighboring worlds.

Many Dark Existences were killed with their Burial Grounds by the Old Villainous Heavens while trying to capture the corpses of the Dark Existences that fell from the World of Death.

After both sides were heavily injured, Li Qiye detonated the Primordial Light which destroyed the World of Death. The fate of the surviving Dark Existences are unknown.
