NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1452: The Reason
After picking up Huang Zhimei's parents at the Chaos Dragon Domain, Ling Yun took them to the Boundless Heaven Domain directly. However, he only brought some of his wives to the domain, leaving the others at their residences.
Before long, they had arrived at the Heaven Tower, and Ling Yun took them to the top area of the tower. "So, what actually happened in this tower in the past?"
"In fact, the origins of this Heaven Tower have never been clear, and this tower appeared in this domain out of nowhere. According to the ancient scrolls, the Heavens often manifested themselves on this top floor in the past, and all the floors below were test grounds for cultivators seeking the Path of Heavenly Ascension." Di Tousen paused for a moment, looking around the surrounding area. "The appearance of this tower attracted the attention of all the cultivators in this Supreme Realm, and they flocked to this domain specifically to challenge it. However, not many of them managed to enter it, let alone challenge it, as the heavens exerted strong pressure outside the tower."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun rubbed his chin upon hearing that. "The first time I met you here, I did feel the pressure, but it didn't affect me because of my chaos abilities. However, my father-in-law and the others were extremely depressed, and they almost wouldn't have been able to get in if it weren't for the Heavens focusing their attention on me."
"That's right," Di Tousen then continued. "In the past, each floor of this tower was a trial ground for those who wished to deepen their understanding of the Heavenly Path and the Heavenly Dao. The type and strength of the tests were different on each floor back then, and the final test was on the ninth floor."
"The ninth floor?" Sheng Ming and the others looked at Di Tousen in confusion.
Di Tousen nodded to them. "As I said before, the Heavens have often manifested themselves on this floor in the past, so the ninth floor's trial is the final and most difficult."
"Has anyone else reached this floor in the past?" Ling Xi asked.
"One person once reached this floor in the past, but the Heavens killed him because of his arrogance." Ling Yun snorted at that remark, believing the Heavens themselves were too arrogant, which made Ling Xi and the others laugh. In Tousen then continued. "That man was overconfident in his abilities, and he challenged the Heavens as soon as he arrived on this floor. After that, no one else succeeded in reaching this floor because the Heavens deliberately made all trials on all floors difficult, and I was the second person to succeed in reaching it."
"Those stupid heaven pricks are indeed too arrogant."
Rumble... Rumble...
After Ling Yun spoke, the sky rumbled, and numerous lightning bolts flashed above them, followed by a powerful pressure that instantly enveloped everyone.
Fortunately, Ling Yun was with them, and he used the Chaos Dragon Genesis to dispel the pressure. He then summoned the Chaos Dragon Cannon and pointed it at the sky. "What? If you guys want to fight me, you can come down here now, and I will fight with you to your heart's content! You guys couldn't even defeat me when I was in my breakthrough, so you can stop dreaming of defeating me when I'm in my normal state."
Zap... Zap... Zap...
Seeing several lightning bolts descending from the sky, Sheng Ming immediately took Huang Zhimei and the others away from Ling Yun.
"Heh!" Ling Yun snorted and swung his broadsword, but he stopped halfway through the swing because the lightning bolts didn't strike at him. "Hmm?"
The lightning bolts gathered together and manifested a man figure that was very familiar to Ling Yun, as the Heavens always used that man's form every time they tried to kill him.
"Oh? You stopped being a coward, huh?" Ling Yun mocked the man.
The man ignored Ling Yun, looked at Di Tousen, and spoke to her. "From the moment you set foot on this floor, I warned you that everything carries risks. After I gave you that ability, I repeatedly reminded you that you would never be able to change everything that had happened. Additionally, I asked you not to stain your soul and body with blood, but you ignored all my words, and you slaughtered those people because of the events you saw back then."
"I—" Di Toushen's words couldn't come out of her mouth.
The man sighed softly. "You didn't repent for your mistakes; instead, you blamed Shang Mowang for what happened, even though you knew for sure that he has nothing to do with those events. In the end, your mistakes brought destruction to your Di Clan, and your grandson decided to stay away from you after you killed his master."
Di Tousen looked at the man with her body shaking and her fists clenched tightly.
The man continued straightaway. "Back then, I chose you because you had the purest heart and soul, and I granted you the ability to fulfill your desire to help innocent people. Unfortunately, the events you saw at that time changed you significantly, and you stained your body and soul with the blood of countless people, which caused you to lose your purity. Honestly, I regretted my decision to choose you and give you that ability, and I no longer believed in any living creatures after that incident, and I decided to destroy this tower because of you."

"Hey!" Ling Yun immediately moved in front of Di Tousen. "Don't ignore me, you prick! Tell me about what happened that day, or I'll beat you right here and now."
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" The man fiercely glared at Ling Yun. "You're lucky because you inherited Long Hun's chaos abilities, and you always managed to escape my lightning tribulations because of it. However, you'll never be able to defeat me if I get serious, and I can kill you like an ant."
"Is that so?" Ling Yun transformed into his half-dragon form. "Let's fight then."
{Enough!} Ling Yun and the man shivered in fear after hearing that angry voice. {Go back.}
"You're lucky!" The man immediately turned into lightning bolts before disappearing into the sky, making Sheng Ming and the others feel relieved.
