Qin Wudao felt extremely aggrieved, utterly aggrieved!
It was like a competition that ended before it even began.
"I am the Luan Gu successor; only I am qualified to reach the summit." Qin Wudao clenched his fists, completely baffled.
"I didn't expect you could reach the nine hundred ninety-ninth floor; that's somewhat beyond this Princess's expectation," Yu Yunshang said, stepping forward.
Fantian's eyes also revealed a hint of solemnity.
For Qin Wudao to be able to step onto the nine hundred ninety-ninth floor was enough to prove his talent and strength.
He was almost on par with Luan Gu the Great when he was young.
Although he didn't reach the summit, he wasn't too far off.
"Hmph, for me, not reaching the summit means nothing," Qin Wudao's face was clouded with gloom.
Having missed this Opportunity, it would be very difficult for him to obtain the Luan Gu Opportunity again.
"Who exactly was that figure? So powerful, let alone resisting, I couldn't even see him clearly…" Qin Wudao felt very unwilling.
However, he also knew that even if he tried again, the result would still be the same.
That figure on the nine hundred ninety-ninth floor was utterly terrifying.
"Who exactly is the opponent on the nine hundred ninety-ninth floor?" Yu Yunshang blinked her beautiful eyes, very curious.
Qin Wudao's brows were dark; after a long while, he spoke coldly, "I didn't see him clearly either, but he is definitely an unfathomable forbidden existence."
"An unfathomable forbidden existence? Doesn't that mean no one can reach the one thousandth floor?" Yu Yunshang raised her delicate brows.
"Of course, even I couldn't see that figure clearly and was shaken out by his Qi; anyone else would be the same," Qin Wudao said with a sullen face.
"Is that so? Then is that person a ghost?" A hint of sly playfulness suddenly appeared in Yu Yunshang's eyes.
"Hmm?"
Qin Wudao was puzzled; his gaze shifted to the Chaotic Ancient Tower.
Then, his eyes froze!
His face stiffened!
His body seemed to turn into withered wood, unable to move.
What did he see?
A speck of light, on the one thousandth floor.
That meant someone had passed the nine hundred ninety-ninth floor and reached the one thousandth floor.
"This… this is impossible!"
Even Qin Wudao, who usually had a calm and domineering Heart-Nature, couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes filled with unbelievable shock.
He had just said that on the nine hundred ninety-ninth floor, there was an unparalleled forbidden figure whom no one could pass.
Yet now, someone had reached the top of the tower.
This slap to the face came too quickly!
"It's impossible for anyone to pass the nine hundred ninety-ninth floor; could there be a problem with the Chaotic Ancient Tower?" Qin Wudao simply couldn't believe it.
After all, only by experiencing it firsthand would one know how terrifying that blurry figure truly was.
Not to mention him, even if it were Emperor Daughter Líng Yuān, Ancient Emperor Child, Reincarnated Dì Fózǐ, King Yuhua, and other supreme Forbidden Talents, there would likely be no suspense.
This was simply a death trap set by Luan Gu the Great, which no one could break!
Unless that speck of light was stronger than all the supreme Forbidden Talents of this era.
Even stronger than Luan Gu the Great in his youth, only then would there be a slight possibility of passing.
But was it possible?
In this era, was there such a Heaven-Defying Prodigy?
"Just because you can't do it, you say no one else can either?" Yu Yunshang pouted.
She had previously thought Qin Wudao might pose a threat to her brother, King Yuhua; now it seemed he was nothing special.
"I can guarantee that even if it were your brother, King Yuhua, he would absolutely not be able to pass," Qin Wudao said in a deep, resolute voice.
"Oh, so you mean Jun Xiaoyao is stronger than my brother?" Yu Yunshang asked.
"What, it's him?" Qin Wudao's pupils constricted, his eyes filled with surprise.
He hadn't expected Jun Xiaoyao to come to the Chaotic Ancient Tower, much less that he could reach the top.
"That's right, that speck of light is Jun Xiaoyao," Yu Yunshang shrugged her fragrant shoulders.
Qin Wudao's expression changed.
He didn't have much contact with Jun Xiaoyao.
Their only interaction was Jun Xiaoyao killing his clan brother, Qin Zimo.
This grudge, neither big nor small.
But the question was, why could Jun Xiaoyao pass the nine hundred ninety-ninth floor, and he couldn't?
"Impossible, even if that Jun Xiaoyao is as divine as the rumors say, he absolutely cannot be the opponent of that figure," Qin Wudao gritted his teeth, still unwilling to believe.
"Oh? Then did the guardian opponent voluntarily let him reach the summit?" Yu Yunshang wrapped her jade arms around her proud chest, saying indifferently.
She disliked people who failed but refused to admit it the most.
However, Yu Yunshang could not have known that her guess was actually correct.
Qin Wudao's face was grim.
Jun Xiaoyao was very strong; he didn't deny it, as it was a fact acknowledged by all Prodigies on the Ancient Road.
But to say that Jun Xiaoyao could deal with that terrifying figure, he was a million times unconvinced.
"Reaching the summit is one thing, but if he obtains Luan Gu the Great's Opportunity…" Qin Wudao was very unwilling.
He was clearly the legitimate Luan Gu successor.
Now, the Opportunity might be obtained by Jun Xiaoyao.
Jealousy made him furious.
"If the Luan Gu Opportunity is indeed obtained by him, then at that time…" Qin Wudao's eyes were deep and dark.
He was inherently a domineering, peerless, and self-centered person.
What was his, he absolutely had to obtain!
Moreover, Qin Wudao absolutely did not believe that Jun Xiaoyao could pass the nine hundred ninety-ninth floor by his own strength.
He must have used some special method.
Seeing the faint cold Battle Intent in Qin Wudao's eyes, Fantian, not far away, clasped his hands and softly chanted a Buddhist prayer.
"Amitābha, people always have to experience setbacks to learn to grow."
Fantian believed that Qin Wudao would likely be taught a lesson by Jun Xiaoyao later.
Just as the people outside were shocked by Jun Xiaoyao reaching the top of the tower.
Jun Xiaoyao, at this moment, had also arrived at the top floor of the Chaotic Ancient Tower.
"The nine hundred ninety-ninth floor was the imprint of the Ghost-Masked Woman that Luan Gu the Great encountered when he obtained his Opportunity, so this last floor…"
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered, pondering in his Heart-Nature.
What exactly existed on this last floor?
And who was Luan Gu the Great's ultimate opponent?
Before him, mist was boundless, and darkness filled the surroundings.
Jun Xiaoyao could be certain that this should not be any real-world scene.
Jun Xiaoyao walked through it, unaware of how long he had walked.
Suddenly, he heard a thumping sound.
It sounded exactly like a heartbeat.
In front, a gigantic object in the shape of an embryo appeared, lying horizontally in the darkness.
It was beating powerfully like a heart.
"This is…" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes gleamed.
He recalled a record about Luan Gu the Great.
After suffering a thousand defeats in his early life, Luan Gu the Great's Dao Heart once collapsed, and he was completely disheartened, almost breaking down.
But in the end, he transformed, fused with the Myriad Laws of Opportunity, powerfully proved his Dao, and self-created the invincible Chaotic Heaven Secret Technique, sweeping through his era.
The most crucial point was that Luan Gu the Great's Dao Heart collapsed, and he transformed into a demon embryo.
Then, he was Reborn from the cocoon, rising in one morning, achieving profound mastery, sweeping through his era, and defeating all his enemies from his early life!
"Could this be…" Jun Xiaoyao's Heart-Nature trembled.
Just then, the embryo-like object suddenly split open.
Endless chains of order shot out, and runes were imprinted in the Vast Expanse, filling this space.
A figure materialized from within, standing with his hands behind his back, facing away from Jun Xiaoyao.
His figure was majestic, standing alone at the peak, eternally lonely!
"You are…" Jun Xiaoyao took a deep breath, his Heart-Nature unsettled.
That figure, with his back to Jun Xiaoyao, slowly spoke, his voice filled with the vicissitudes of ages.
"Chaotic Heaven and Earth, one person throughout time…"
"My name is Luan Gu!"
