Chapter 1553: The truth of everything, the source of the Dark Turmoil, the goal of the World-Ending Lord

No one knows when the Immortal-Becoming Gate appeared.

Nor does anyone know why it appeared.

But it simply descended, without any reason.

There is a legend that if one can step into the Immortal-Becoming Gate, one can ascend to immortality.

Others say the Immortal-Becoming Gate is a portal to the ancient Immortal Realm.

Still others say the Immortal-Becoming Gate is an ancient treasure left behind by a True Immortal.

In short, there are various theories, and they are endless.

At that time, the Desolate Emperor, as the world's top powerhouse, was the person most likely to investigate the existence of the Immortal-Becoming Gate.

And the Desolate Emperor did just that.

But his purpose in doing so was not to become an immortal.

It was to find a way to thoroughly resolve the World-Ending Lord, An Di, the tumor and scourge of the Immortal Realm.

After the Desolate Emperor investigated the Immortal-Becoming Gate for a time.

He found the key to thoroughly opening the Immortal-Becoming Gate, which was that ancient stone disk.

Then, the Desolate Emperor discovered that behind the Immortal-Becoming Gate was an immortal path that had long been severed.

In other words, this was an abandoned portal.

However, within it, there was a massive amount of immortal-path matter.

The Desolate Emperor, while cultivating with the help of the immortal-path matter, came up with a plan.

That was to use the Immortal-Becoming Gate as the foundation, acting as the eye of a sealing array, to seal the World-Ending Lord within it for eternity.

As for why it was only a seal, and not an extermination.

That was because the power of the World-Ending Lord was too formidable.

And as long as there was turmoil, war, bloodshed, and slaughter in the world.

Then the World-Ending Lord would be very difficult to thoroughly eradicate.

Therefore, the Desolate Emperor wanted to seal him away forever.

On the other side, the World-Ending Lord An Di, as one of the Four Apocalypses of the End, was also involved.

His strength was also boundless, even strong enough to deduce the causality of all things.

It was precisely because he could deduce these causalities that he could become the mastermind behind the scenes.

Standing behind the scenes, inciting wars among the major factions.

Di Long Haotian's so-called "rebirth in one lifetime" memory was actually derived by the World-Ending Lord through causal deduction.

This was his unique ability.

The World-Ending Lord An Di also calculated that the Desolate Emperor was very likely carrying out some kind of plan that would be unfavorable to him.

So the World-Ending Lord, who was always shrewd and whose intellect surpassed that of ghosts and gods, had also prepared his own backup plan in advance.

He first condensed five Main Sacrifice Tokens.

These five Main Sacrifice Tokens contained a portion of his power, which was the power of blood sacrifice.

And those who obtained the Main Sacrifice Tokens could become so-called Main Sacrificers, possessing the energy to sacrifice all living things.

This was actually leaving a way out for himself.

Afterward, the Desolate Emperor came knocking again, and the great battle began once more.

After refining a massive amount of immortal-path matter, immortal-path essence, and other such essences.

The Desolate Emperor's already boundless strength became even stronger, suppressing all eras.

Even the World-Ending Lord was stretched thin and defeated repeatedly.

Finally, he suffered heavy injuries and was blasted into the Immortal-Becoming Gate by the Desolate Emperor with a single punch.

Then, he channeled all his power to seal him.

Of course, although he had knocked the World-Ending Lord into the Immortal-Becoming Gate.

Dealing with one of the Four Apocalypses of the End alone caused the Desolate Emperor himself to suffer heavy injuries as well.

After sealing the World-Ending Lord, he actually did not have much strength left.

Then, to prevent the World-Ending Lord from escaping, he wanted to thoroughly annihilate the key, which was the stone disk.

But that stone disk was actually crafted from matter of the same origin as the Immortal-Becoming Gate.

Even the Desolate Emperor could not thoroughly annihilate it, and in the end, it was shattered into four pieces, scattered to every corner of the Immortal Realm.

And the Desolate Emperor, already exhausted, did not notice.

Although the World-Ending Lord was sealed.

He had quietly let a sliver of his spiritual consciousness and divine sense flow out.

A sliver of that divine sense attached itself to a stone disk fragment.

Long after, this stone disk fragment with the attached sliver of divine sense was picked up by Di Long Haotian while he was training in the Void Heaven Realm.

He subsequently fell into a deep slumber, sealed until the Golden Age, and the World-Ending Lord took the opportunity to brainwash him, pouring the memory of his rebirth in one lifetime into his mind.

This led to Di Long Haotian later being determined to step into the Immortal-Becoming Gate, but in the end, he helped him break the seal.

On the other side, because the World-Ending Lord had been heavily injured by the Desolate Emperor and sealed within the Immortal-Becoming Gate.

He had no power to cultivate at all.

His source of power was war, turmoil, despair, blood sacrifice, and other such forces.

The immortal-path matter within the Immortal-Becoming Gate actually offered no help to his cultivation.

So the World-Ending Lord began to think of ways to recover from his injuries.

At the same time, the Desolate Emperor, who was also heavily injured, in order to prevent the World-Ending Lord from potentially escaping in the future.

Chose to establish the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall lineage.

This was a force exclusive to the Desolate Ancient Huanggu Shengti.

Every generation of the Huanggu Shengti would be guided into the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall to cultivate.

And the duty of the Huanggu Shengti lineage was to guard the Immortal-Becoming Gate and prevent trouble when the Immortal-Becoming Gate descended again.

The various turmoils in the Immortal Realm were also the responsibility of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall.

It can be said that the reason why the Desolate Ancient Huanggu Shengti had to protect the Immortal Realm and quell turmoil.

Actually started from when the Desolate Emperor established the Desolate Ancient Sacred Hall.

And the World-Ending Lord, in order to heal his wounds.

A sliver of his spiritual consciousness and divine sense that had dissipated outside found the Longevity Emperor.

And the Longevity Emperor's lifelong wish was to become an immortal.

When the World-Ending Lord's spiritual consciousness and divine sense told him that the Immortal-Becoming Gate was actually a severed path.

The Longevity Emperor felt his beliefs were about to collapse.

At this time, the World-Ending Lord offered a deal that the Longevity Emperor absolutely could not refuse.

If the Longevity Emperor acted according to his instructions.

Once he truly recovered his strength and broke open the Immortal-Becoming Gate, he would lead the Longevity Emperor to find the true immortal path.

The World-Ending Lord An Di, as one of the Four Apocalypses of the End, controlled all kinds of causality.

If it were anyone else saying they could lead him to the true immortal path, the Longevity Emperor certainly would not have believed it.

But the World-Ending Lord indeed had this capability.

So the Longevity Emperor agreed.

Even if agreeing would mean a catastrophe for the Immortal Realm.

The Longevity Emperor still did not hesitate.

In order to become an immortal, he had long since lost human emotions and compassion.

Afterward, it was very simple.

The World-Ending Lord's divine sense guided the Longevity Emperor to find the Main Sacrifice Tokens.

He became the First Main Sacrificer and simultaneously controlled the power of blood sacrifice to sacrifice all living things.

The Longevity Emperor personally forged the Immortal Altar.

Then, according to the World-Ending Lord's ideas, he spread the remaining Main Sacrifice Tokens to other forbidden zones.

And told them that as long as they became Main Sacrificers and incited the Dark Turmoil against the Immortal Realm, sacrificing all living things.

They would be able to obtain massive amounts of immortal-path matter from the Immortal-Becoming Gate.

Not only could it help them improve their cultivation and extend their lifespans, but there was also the possibility of ultimate sublimation.

So the other life forbidden zones also joined the Longevity Emperor's camp.

From then on, the Dark Turmoil, viewed as a nightmare by the Immortal Realm, began.

And the reason the World-Ending Lord went to such great lengths.

Was because every Dark Turmoil produced massive amounts of negative energy, all kinds of despair, and the power of blood sacrifice.

All of it would surge into the Immortal-Becoming Gate and finally be absorbed by the World-Ending Lord.

His injuries also gradually recovered through one turmoil after another.

This was the ultimate goal of the World-Ending Lord's meticulously planned Dark Turmoil! ===== CHAPTER 1554 =====
