Chapter 1552: The Truth Revealed, Emperor Haotian Despairing and Falling, All Causality Originates

"But why, the Immortal Ascension Gate..."

Emperor Haotian was dispirited and disoriented, his words broken and intermittent, unable to think at all.

The Lord of the Apocalypse let out a cold, sinister laugh.

"I know your doubts."

"Do you still remember why I helped you? Correct, I said before—you must help me find a physical body."

"Now, you have succeeded, finally releasing me."

"In the end, I still have to thank you."

The words of the Lord of the Apocalypse carried cruelty.

He looked at Emperor Haotian, as if admiring the distortion and destruction of the human heart.

That feeling was most pleasing to him.

Emperor Haotian, his teeth gritted to pieces, his face twisted.

"No, I sought the stone disk, opened the Immortal Ascension Gate, to achieve ultimate transcendence, not to release you."

"And I am a reborn one—how could this possibly happen?"

Emperor Haotian roared.

He is an unprecedented reborn one—who could have schemed against him?

"Rebirth, hehe... your so-called rebirth is merely a phantom dream I bestowed upon you."

"You once entered the Void Heaven Realm and found a fragment of the stone disk."

"That stone disk fragment carried a trace of my divine sense."

"Later, you fell into a deep slumber, to await the awakening of the Golden Great Age."

"I, with supreme power, calculated future causality and infused it into your slumbering consciousness."

"Making you feel as if you had lived a past life and understood everything."

"Then you awoke, believing yourself reborn into this Golden Great Age."

"In truth, you merely slept through one lifetime."

"Rebirth, hehe—even the Mythical Imperial Capital cannot easily reverse the causality of time; how could it fall upon you?"

"From beginning to end, you were merely my pawn."

"The one causality I could not calculate is this child!"

The Lord of the Apocalypse turned his gaze toward Jun Xiaoyao.

Because Jun Xiaoyao is the Void of Fate.

Thus, even as mighty as one of the Four Heavenly Initiators of the Apocalypse, the Lord of the Apocalypse cannot use causal power to predict his future.

Therefore, in Emperor Haotian's "rebirth" memories, Jun Xiaoyao's appearance was absent.

"I am a pawn, I am merely a pawn?"

Emperor Haotian—anger, anguish, unwillingness, sorrow, resentment...

Endless negative emotions brewed in his heart, nearly exploding.

He is no dragon among men, nor any heaven-chosen protagonist.

He is merely a pawn!

A pitiful, ridiculous pawn!

A pawn kept in the dark, still dreaming of spring and autumn, foolishly aspiring to be king and hegemon—what a laughable pawn!

A pitiful clown, casually kneaded, casually toyed with!

"Hahaha, hahaha, it's all because of you!"

Emperor Haotian's face twisted to the extreme, emitting a mad, hysterical wail of laughter!

His dream of becoming emperor for a lifetime, his aspiration to stand above all beings.

At this moment, utterly shattered!

"Die!"

Emperor Haotian lost all reason, activating the Dragon Emperor Golden Body, charging to slaughter the Lord of the Apocalypse!

He nearly burned everything—laws, qi and blood, lifespan!

All of it, all meaningless!

He only wanted to kill this one, to trample all his dignity, all his pride, into worthlessness behind this great black hand!

Whoosh!

The Lord of the Apocalypse gently exhaled a breath.

A crimson blood-offering storm swept forth.

That mighty, boundless Dragon Emperor Golden Body instantly turned to dust!

And Emperor Haotian's form, within the storm, crumbled inch by inch, vanishing into flying ash!

Finally, only Emperor Haotian's skull remained, turning its head.

Those silver pupils met Jun Xiaoyao's gaze, silent and wordless.

He was defeated.

Not defeated by Jun Xiaoyao's hand.

But from the moment he awoke, he had already been defeated.

"Jun Xiaoyao, I hope you can...... defeat him......"

Emperor Haotian's lips trembled, and he spoke his final words.

Then his form turned to dust, scattering between heaven and earth.

Jun Xiaoyao heard the words and sighed inwardly.

"Emperor Haotian, you are too arrogant, and also too ignorant."

Perhaps this is the fate of Emperor Haotian.

Actually, Jun Xiaoyao had noticed this from the beginning.

The rebirth of Emperor Haotian is not such a simple matter.

Behind him, a deeper conspiracy looms.

And now, indeed, it is just as he had anticipated.

But for now, Jun Xiaoyao still has some doubts to verify.

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Lord of the Apocalypse, this Emperor has completed this matter; I hope you can also keep your promise."

The Emperor of Longevity stood with hands behind his back, speaking calmly.

"Hehe, that is natural..." the Lord of the Apocalypse muttered indifferently.

"Emperor of Longevity, what exactly is going on here?"

The Ancestor of the Holy Spirit and two others withdrew from the Immortal Realm and instantly crossed over to the Nine Heavens.

The True Spirit of the Donghua Emperor, the Lone Sword God, the Kunlun Celestial Master, and others also came to Jun Xiaoyao's side.

Hearing the tone of the Emperor of Longevity, he seemed to have known this all along; the Lord of the Apocalypse, within the Immortal Ascension Gate.

But all of this, what exactly is going on?

These three chief sacrificers are all completely kept in the dark.

By now, the Emperor of Longevity does not mind either; he spoke calmly.

"Actually, the so-called darkness and turmoil of one generation after another is merely a transaction between this Emperor and the Lord of the Apocalypse." The Emperor of Longevity said.

Upon these words being spoken.

Heaven and earth fell silent.

The expressions of all living beings were completely dazed.

Even Jun Xiaoyao, although he had some suspicions.

But when the truth was truly confirmed.

His heart still trembled.

The turmoil of one generation after another, how many emperors buried their bones, how many heroes fell.

Hundreds of millions of living beings perished.

Not to mention the Immortal Realm, even the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zone has paid a heavy price.

And all this turmoil, all this destruction.

Is merely a transaction between the Emperor of Longevity and the Lord of the Apocalypse!

This is simply absurd to the point of being unbelievable!

The Lord of the Apocalypse gave a grim laugh.

He seemed to greatly enjoy seeing the shock and despair on the faces of all living beings.

Therefore, he also spoke patiently.

"Actually, if you want to blame someone, blame the Desolate Emperor."

"If it were not for him sealing this seat within the Immortal Ascension Gate, this seat would not have come up with such a method."

Upon hearing of the Desolate Emperor, Jun Xiaoyao, Wu Hu, and the Endless Emperor all had a flash in their eyes.

The Desolate Emperor, the strongest ancient holy body in history, is the founder of the Desolate Holy Hall.

And the mastermind behind the scenes who fought against the Desolate Emperor is precisely the Lord of the Apocalypse before us, Anmo.

And afterward, Anmo did not shy away in the slightest, laying out all cause and effect.

Only in this way could he better enjoy the despair on the faces of all living beings.

That despair, that hatred, that resentment, that struggling helplessness, excited him immensely!

Anmo is War among the Four Heavenly Starts of the Apocalypse.

His existence is the source of all wars.

The Lord of the Apocalypse, Anmo, feeds on living beings and takes despair as his sustenance.

He lurks behind the scenes, manipulating eras, inciting major powers to war, causing the Immortal Realm to run red with blood, and wars never cease.

And at that time, a supremely powerful being discovered a clue.

Behind the numerous bloody wars, there seemed to be a hidden mastermind secretly controlling everything.

The one who discovered this hidden mastermind was precisely the Desolate Emperor.

That strongest ancient holy body who suppressed countless eras.

By following various clues, he tracked down to the Lord of the Apocalypse, Anmo.

Immediately, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering great battle erupted.

And the Void Heaven Realm is merely a part of the remnants left behind from the great battle between the Desolate Emperor and the Lord of the Apocalypse.

The Desolate Emperor, although he is the strongest ancient holy body in history, with divine power covering the heavens and sweeping across eras.

But the Lord of the Apocalypse, Anmo, is likewise one of the Four Heavenly Starts of the Apocalypse, the ultimate despair of the world, with power so immense it is unimaginable.

Therefore, even as strong as the Desolate Emperor, although he can fight the Lord of the Apocalypse, he has never been able to completely suppress him.

But just at this moment, the Immortal Ascension Gate appeared!
