Chapter 2545: Chapter 2545: Dao Ji’s Ambition

"She doesn’t trust you, there must be a reason, right?" Su Yang said softly, "What exactly did you do to make her think you’re not trustworthy?"

"What did I do? I did nothing! I did nothing wrong!" Dao Ji shouted.

"Really?" Su Yang sneered, "Hmph, I’ve seen people like you many times. Saying that you did nothing wrong, but behind the scenes, who knows how many dirty things you’ve done. You simply don’t deserve the Holy Daughter’s trust!"

"Nonsense!" Dao Ji shouted angrily, "I haven’t done any filthy things, you’re just slandering me!"

"So tell me then, why doesn’t the Holy Daughter trust you?" Su Yang retorted.

Dao Ji glared coldly at Su Yang, "Why do I need to tell you?"

"Hehe..." Su Yang sneered, "With nothing to say, you start acting tough? Dao Ji, no matter how you disguise it, you can’t change the fact that you are a shameless scoundrel!"

"Think whatever you like!" Dao Ji said coldly, "Now, it’s my turn to ask you..."

"You’re not qualified to question me!" Su Yang walked directly to Dao Ji, and with an outstretched hand, lifted him up, "You are indeed arrogant to dare jump into the Demon Abyss. Hmph, if you hadn’t entered the Demon Abyss, I really wouldn’t be able to do anything about you. But since you’re seeking death, you can’t blame me!"

Su Yang carried Dao Ji straight toward the palace in front.

Dao Ji was considered strong, even after entering the Demon Abyss, he could walk to this point, which surprised Su Yang. However, no matter how far he walked, the result would be the same. Inside the Demon Abyss, his power would still be limited.

This person is extremely dangerous, Su Yang needed to deal with him, and the best way was to bring him near the palace, then find a way to kill him. Otherwise, if this person got out alive, the Nine Realms would surely suffer!

Upon reaching the palace, Su Yang casually tossed Dao Ji onto the threshold in front of the palace, and said solemnly, "Dao Ji, now I’ll give you one more chance. Tell me everything you know, otherwise, you won’t have another chance to speak!"

Dao Ji simply closed his eyes and kept silent, as if unwilling to meet Su Yang’s gaze.

Su Yang continued questioning for a while, but seeing Dao Ji had no intention of answering, he simply gave up.

"Since you seem intent on seeking death, I’ll fulfill your wish!" Su Yang said coldly, grabbing Dao Ji and walking straight into the palace.

Once inside, Dao Ji opened his eyes. He looked at everything within the palace, as if very curious about what he saw.

Until Su Yang dragged him near the cluster of black mist, Dao Ji suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

"What’s up, come to your senses?" Su Yang turned his head to look at Dao Ji.

Dao Ji didn’t respond to Su Yang, instead, he widened his eyes staring at the black mist, seemingly observing something.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Su Yang frowned.

"So this is the true power of the Heaven Slayer!" Dao Ji sighed lightly. Surrounded by Su Yang’s surprised gaze, he actually straightened himself.

"You... you..." Su Yang was full of shock, pointing at Dao Ji, unable to speak.

"I was supposed to be suppressed by the Heaven Slayer’s power, unable to move, wasn’t I?" Dao Ji smiled lightly at Su Yang, "You truly are a fool, I can’t believe the Holy Daughter entrusted such an important thing to a useless person like you!"

"You... you were pretending?" Su Yang’s face darkened, "You also cultivated the Secret Technique of Devouring the World?"

"Hehe..." Dao Ji laughed, raising his head, "Otherwise, do you think I’d dare to jump into this Heaven Slayer’s Demon Abyss casually? This place devours all power except those that share the same origin. Without cultivating the Secret Technique of Devouring the World, anyone entering here is seeking death!"

"So you’ve been deceiving me from the start!" Su Yang’s expression turned even worse, "You pretended to be collapsed on the ground, but you weren’t hurt at all?"

"That’s right, I’ve been lying to you from the beginning!" Dao Ji laughed, "Too bad you’re too foolish to see through it!"

"Since you could move by yourself, why deceive me?" Su Yang asked seriously.

"This is the Demon Abyss, the palace of the Heaven Slayer!" Dao Ji said, "I indeed can walk, but who knows if there are other restrictions here. If I accidentally step into them, wouldn’t that be a disaster? So it’s best to find someone familiar with this place to lead me in; that’d be the safest way, wouldn’t it?"

Su Yang nearly spit blood; he hadn’t thought Dao Ji was so treacherous, using such tactics to deceive him.

However, even in this situation, Su Yang could do nothing. Even if Dao Ji didn’t deceive him, Dao Ji could still make it here since there weren’t actually any restrictions. Dao Ji entering here wasn’t difficult.

"Why are you here, really?" Su Yang asked seriously.

"Don’t you get it?" Dao Ji looked at the black mist before him, "I want to inherit the Heaven Slayer’s power, become the new Heaven Slayer, become the strongest in the universe, become the sole master of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and even the infinite Chaos!"

Su Yang’s expression changed; he looked at Dao Ji and said seriously, "I finally understand why the Holy Daughter doesn’t trust you. Your ambition is just too vast!"

"Ambition!?" Dao Ji suddenly turned, looking angrily at Su Yang, "What do you know? I’m seeking the Heaven Slayer’s legacy for the Human Clan. Only if I become stronger can I protect the Human Clan. Only by becoming the sole master of the Three Thousand Great Worlds can I erase the Guardian God, allowing the Human Clan to become the masters of all Great Worlds. I’m thinking of the Human Clan; I’m fighting for the Human Clan; this isn’t called ambition!"

Su Yang slowly shook his head, finally understanding why his mother avoided Dao Ji back then. The man was so consumed by his obsession that he couldn’t even recognize his ambition, believing he was truly fighting for the Human Clan. Such a person is beyond help!

If a villain believes his actions are right, that’s the most terrifying thing!

"As long as I’m here, you’ll never get the Heaven Slayer’s legacy!" Su Yang said coldly.

"Just you?" Dao Ji laughed, looking at Su Yang with contempt.

"Yes, just me!" Su Yang said coldly, "Outside, I wouldn’t dare say this. But here, you and I are the same!"

"The same?" Dao Ji laughed, turned to face Su Yang, "You’re wrong; we’re not the same!"

"What’s different?" Su Yang asked coldly, "Our powers are constrained; we only have the power of our bodies. Whether you’re Earth Level or Heavenly Level, you can’t exhibit it here. We’re just two mortals; what’s different about that?"
