Chapter 4539: Heaven's Pride Rises Together, Heroes Ranked—To See Me Is to See a God

The first moment the Qing Tian Meng clan appeared.

Their gazes all turned toward Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao.

Beside Meng Changqing.

Meng Huang Xuan Yi's face was ashen, his eyes locked onto Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao.

"Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao..."

Meng Huang Xuan Yi gritted his teeth, his tone laced with suppressed fury.

In his eyes, besides the deep-seated hatred, there flickered a barely perceptible tremor.

Back in the Primordial Realm, he had been beaten by Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao until his Dao heart was nearly shattered.

To him, that was a disgrace that seeped into his very marrow.

And what terrified him most was the utter helplessness and despair he felt when facing Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao—completely unable to resist.

Know that he, too, was an unparalleled figure of the Tianren clan, always lofty and aloof.

This was the first time in his life he had been beaten like a dead dog.

Not only Meng Huang Xuan Yi.

The rest of the Qing Tian Meng clansmen, each and every one, looked toward Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao.

Their expressions were also filled with hatred and fear.

One could say Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao had become a shadow looming over their hearts.

As for Meng Huang Xuan Yi and the others.

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao completely ignored them.

Those he casually defeated would never enter his sight again.

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained composed, his gaze calmly sweeping over the leader, Meng Changqing.

One must say, this Sixth-Life Tianren of the Qing Tian Meng clan.

His aura was indeed extraordinary.

Compared to Meng Huang Xuan Yi, that peerless figure, he was even more unfathomable.

And while Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao was assessing him.

Meng Changqing's jade-green pupils also turned toward Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao.

In an instant, the atmosphere of heaven and earth stagnated.

It seemed as if two qi forces collided invisibly.

The void faintly rippled, and heaven and earth trembled slightly.

Compared to the anger of Meng Huang Xuan Yi and the others.

Meng Changqing's expression was instead calm, exuding a composed steadiness.

"In the vast expanse, I heard the Jun clan had produced a peerless figure."

"I had long wished to meet you, but fate kept me in secluded cultivation."

"Now I finally have the chance."

Meng Changqing spoke first, his voice steady, without a trace of anger.

He looked at Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao, his pupils flashing with azure light, carrying a scrutinizing intent.

But then, he said.

"However, Jun Daoist, in the Primordial Realm, you struck my Qing Tian Meng kin with such cruelty—surely you went too far?"

Facing Meng Changqing's question.

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained indifferent and composed, his face showing no ripple.

"Too far?"

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao said lightly: "I merely stood up for my kin."

"Besides, I spared their lives."

"You!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Huang Xuan Yi and the others' faces turned ashen, their chests heaving as they struggled to contain their rage.

Does Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's words mean they should be grateful for his mercy?

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's trampling and humiliation of them, stripping them of the Primordial Origin.

To them, it was nothing short of more cruel than outright slaughter!

Meng Changqing waved his hand, signaling Meng Huang Xuan Yi and the others not to act rashly.

He continued: "I have long heard of Jun Daoist's conduct—overbearing and lawless, saying one thing and meaning another."

"But how to put it? In the future, heaven's pride shall rise together, and kings shall contend for supremacy."

"Having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy, isn't it?"

"If Jun Daoist is willing to return the stolen Primordial True Seeds and Origin to my Qing Tian Meng people."

"Then I, Meng, can decide to let this matter pass."

Although Meng Changqing is one of the faces of the Qing Tian Meng clan, he also possesses absolute confidence in himself.

But Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao is, after all, no ordinary man.

If possible, Meng Changqing would rather not openly oppose Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao.

Upon hearing Meng Changqing's words, the surrounding crowd also secretly clicked their tongues.

Know that, had it been anyone else, Meng Changqing would not waste words—he would act directly to regain face.

Only someone like Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao could make Meng Changqing hesitate.

Yet Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained unchanged, calm and undisturbed.

"Those vast origins are compensation for my Cloud Clan's people."

"Besides, while Jun doesn't refuse making friends, he also doesn't befriend just any fox-and-dog companions."

"Only cattle and sheep herd together; fierce beasts always walk alone."

"Even if future heaven's favorites rise in parallel and heroes line the ranks, upon seeing me they should regard it as seeing a god."

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's words were bland.

Yet the words spoken made the entire venue fall silent.

Even Meng Changqing's complexion changed slightly.

Although many heaven's favorites possess invincible Dao hearts, believing themselves inferior to no one.

But who truly believes they can suppress an entire era?

The so-called invincible Dao heart is merely unwillingness to submit beneath others.

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao, however, possesses a true invincible Dao heart, perfect and unbroken.

He genuinely believes he can suppress an era, beyond doubt.

Sometimes arrogance and confidence are separated by a single line.

If you achieve it, it's confidence!

If you can't, it's arrogance!

Even a figure like Meng Changqing, who holds absolute confidence in himself, felt a trace of being awed upon hearing Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's words.

He had seen arrogant people, but never someone as arrogant as Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao.

"Fine words — 'upon seeing me they should regard it as seeing a god.' Fellow Daoist Jun's bearing is truly extraordinary."

"However, future changes are too many; speaking too fully is unwise."

"Not to mention what figures might appear on the Dark Realm side."

"At least on the Vast side, there is one person who perhaps won't agree with Fellow Daoist Jun's words." Meng Changqing said.

"Who?" Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao countered.

"The Heavenly Court's Young Master who will enter the world in the future." Meng Changqing said.

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's expression didn't change.

He recalled again that Heavenly Court Young Master seen earlier in the Time Eternal River's years-backflow.

Indeed extremely extraordinary.

Talent, strength, bearing, breadth of mind — all flawless without a single blemish.

Completely not on the same level as the other heaven's favorites Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao encountered in the Vast Starry Sky.

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao also considered that Heavenly Court Young Master absolutely a figure requiring serious regard.

But even so, Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's invincible Dao heart would not produce the slightest change because of the Heavenly Court Young Master.

"The Heavenly Court Young Master has not yet entered the world; let's not speak of him for now."

"But at least, your Green Heaven Meng Clan won't bring any threat to Jun." Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao said blandly.

Hearing this, the Meng Clan cultivators all stirred.

Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's attitude toward them was simply absolute contempt.

Meng Xuan Yi couldn't help but say: "Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao, you previously relied on possessing the Vast Mark to suppress my Vast True Seed."

"But Elder Brother Changqing has also already condensed a Vast Mark!"

His words made the many heaven's favorites present all show shock.

To them, condensing a Vast True Seed is already a very difficult matter.

As for a Vast Mark, it's even more something they wouldn't dare imagine.

"This Green Heaven Meng Clan's Six-Life Heavenly Human not only possesses strong personal strength, but has also condensed a Vast Mark."

"Plus this place has Heaven and Earth rules' suppression."

"He might truly be able to contend with Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao to some extent……"

Many people all thought of this point.

"No need for more words." Meng Changqing pressed his hand down.

Then looked at Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao and said.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Jun does not accept the goodwill Meng released."

"So be it."

"But since all have come here, presumably all are to explore this top-tier forbidden zone."

"I also don't want to waste energy here now; let's go."

Meng Changqing's words fell, he flicked his sleeve, leading the Green Heaven Meng Clan group away.

Seeing this, the onlookers all clicked their tongues.

Even Meng Changqing, this Six-Life Heavenly Human, dared not lightly make a move against Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao.

"Let's go too." Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao said.

This Meng Changqing, though stronger than Meng Xuan Yi.

In his eyes, there was no essential difference.

The other side.

"Elder Brother Changqing……"

Meng Xuan Yi secretly gritted his teeth, expression carrying suppressed anger.

And a group of Meng Clan cultivators all wore unwilling expressions.

Meng Changqing said blandly: "No need to be anxious; contending with that Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao now would only benefit others."

I have a premonition that the deeper we go into this top level, the stronger that restriction will become.

After that, Within Within Within Within Within Jun Xiaoyao's various trump cards and means will all be suppressed.

At that time, it will be the best opportunity for my Qing Tian Meng clan to regain face.
