Chapter 754: Chapter 752: The Greatest Opponent Is Oneself—Debating the Dao with the Chaotic Ancient, How Dare the Heavens Stand Above Me!

The two words "Chaotic Ancient" fell, bringing endless fighting spirit and majestic war intent, sweeping across the entire space!

That fighting spirit makes the heavens tremble!

That war intent makes the universe quake!

It’s a roar of unwillingness in the face of destiny!

Pounded thousands of times, burned by fierce flames, yet no amount of defeat can extinguish his will!

At this moment, this legendary figure appears alive before Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes!

Although it’s only a brand, the oppressive aura is enough to make any contemporary Celestial Pride bow their heads!

Jun Xiaoyao also felt an extreme sense of oppression, as if facing an undefeated War God!

"Indeed, it’s just as I guessed; Chaotic Ancient Emperor’s ultimate opponent was himself." Jun Xiaoyao’s gaze was deep.

He wasn’t too surprised.

After all, how does that saying go?

The greatest opponent in life is actually oneself.

It’s easy to defeat others, but defeating oneself is difficult.

Chaotic Ancient Emperor, in the beginning, also experienced countless struggles and setbacks, even his Dao Heart collapsed.

He eventually triumphed over himself, gave birth to the Demon Embryo, broke free, and personally rewrote his destiny.

Such a person, Jun Xiaoyao has admiration for.

"It seems that this final challenge is to defeat the senior." Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

The person before him is indeed Chaotic Ancient Emperor, yet also not Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

Strictly speaking, it’s the heart demon born during Chaotic Ancient Emperor’s transformation and rebirth as the Demon Embryo.

It can also be seen as another side of Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

Chaotic Ancient Emperor defeated this internal heart demon and ultimately succeeded in Nirvana.

And Jun Xiaoyao must defeat him to obtain the opportunity from Chaotic Ancient.

"You... go ahead."

The brand of Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon still faces away from Jun Xiaoyao, speaking indifferently.

He’s merely a sliver of Chaotic Ancient Emperor’s heart demon brand, his strength naturally incomparable to the actual Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

But even so, this brand alone is enough to sweep over all contemporary young Forbidden Celestial Prides.

"Why?"

Jun Xiaoyao responded as if he had already expected it.

"Your Dao does not align with mine, you are not my successor..." said the Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon.

Jun Xiaoyao softly laughed, unsurprised.

He had anticipated before that perhaps Chaotic Ancient Emperor wouldn’t want someone like him to receive the inheritance.

Because Jun Xiaoyao’s and Chaotic Ancient Emperor’s destinies are starkly contrasted, like two extremes.

One born in the wild, one born in the Ancient Desolate Family.

One faced countless defeats in the first half of life, one has dominated the world since birth.

It can be said that Jun Xiaoyao is the least fitting candidate for Chaotic Ancient’s successor.

Even Wang Teng managed to obtain a part of Chaotic Ancient’s inheritance due to his abundant destiny.

"What is the senior’s Dao?" Jun Xiaoyao asked calmly.

"My destiny defies heaven!" replied the Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon.

Just four simple words are the annotation of Chaotic Ancient’s entire life!

"Senior’s Dao, the younger generation admires, yet..." Jun Xiaoyao paused in his speech, suddenly changing his tone.

"Defying heaven is no longer fresh."

Upon these words, an overwhelming pressure poured forth, enveloping Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao remained calmly standing, even when facing the heart demon of Chaotic Ancient Emperor, his expression was serene and still.

If it were other Celestial Prides, even Forbidden Celestial Prides, they would have been pressed to the ground by now.

"Young one, I give you a chance to reconsider," the Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon spoke with a tone as deep as a thousand-year-old abyss.

Every person’s Dao is not to be desecrated, let alone that of an Emperor.

Jun Xiaoyao’s words already carried a hint of offense.

"The younger generation has its own understanding of defying heaven." Jun Xiaoyao smiled lightly with his hands behind his back.

If it were any other Celestial Prides at this moment before the Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon, they would be cautious, walking on thin ice.

Not to mention offending, they wouldn’t dare say a single extra word.

But Jun Xiaoyao dared!

Though he admires Chaotic Ancient, it doesn’t mean he has to face Chaotic Ancient with a low demeanor.

"Oh?"

The Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon still faced away from Jun Xiaoyao but his tone carried a hint of curiosity.

This young one is somewhat different.

Jun Xiaoyao continued, "The premise of defying heaven is placing oneself below heaven."

"Being weaker than heaven, and being suppressed by heaven, can lead you to choose the path of defying heaven, but..."

Jun Xiaoyao’s words halted abruptly here.

Then, Jun Xiaoyao extended his hand, pointing towards the heavens!

"Born to be the leader among men, only I am equal with heaven in longevity!"

"Since equal, why dare heaven rise above me?"

Jun Xiaoyao’s words echoed powerfully!

He stands shoulder to shoulder with the heavens, so why should heaven dare to rise above him!

Simple words, bold enough to swallow the land!

His arrogant will made the Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon’s face change, turning around, his gaze sharp and directly confronting Jun Xiaoyao.

This young one dares to compare himself to the heavens!

"Young one, your words are too arrogant, is this your Dao?" the Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon’s eyes deepened.

"Haha, arrogant? I don’t think so. When I become an Immortal, I’ll change this heaven, alter this earth, reshape this land for millions of miles, and establish my order!"

Jun Xiaoyao’s words surprised the Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon even more.

It must be known, words cannot be spoken carelessly.

Many things are bound by cause and effect.

If one offends a hidden existence in the Mingming, it might bring unimagined doom!

Yet this white-clothed, bold young one dares to speak such arrogant words, enough to prove he has his own confidence!

"Young one, your name," the Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon’s expression became much more serious.

He even placed Jun Xiaoyao on the same level.

Jun Xiaoyao waved his sleeve and said.

"Jun Family, Carefree!"

"Jun Family, that Jun Family, no wonder..." the Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon realized.

That family often produces extraordinary beings.

Even at Chaotic Ancient Emperor’s peak, sweeping through the Immortal Realm invincible.

He never provoked the Jun Family.

The Jun Family’s status is not something a single Emperor can shake.

Even an Emperor daring to provoke the Jun Family would face unimaginable calamity.

"That family, full of prodigies, but never expected, later generations would have such a unique figure..."

The Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon also faintly sensed, perhaps this white-clothed youth before him is the greatest unique existence in this era of great contention!

If so, then he indeed has the qualification to receive his inheritance.

After all, Chaotic Ancient spent his whole life fighting heaven, fighting people, fighting destiny.

If his successor is an eternal unique existence, it would be considered as inheriting his indomitable will of fighting heaven and warring against the land.

"To obtain the opportunity, defeat me then." The Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon spoke with hands behind his back.

He certainly wouldn’t hand over the inheritance as easily as the Ghost-faced Woman on the 999th level.

He also wants to know how much true skill this unique figure of the Jun Family possesses.

"Oh, senior is determined to fight?" Jun Xiaoyao’s eyebrow raised lightly. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"What, scared?" said the Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon.

"Not at all, just afraid the senior might recall some memories he’d rather not remember." Jun Xiaoyao laughed.

"Memories he’d rather not recall?" The Chaotic Ancient Heart Demon’s gaze deepened.

"Yes, like... tasting defeat again!"
