Chapter 2551: Chapter 2551: Dao Ji Suffers a Loss
Dao Ji, gritting his teeth, took one step at a time toward the World Melting Furnace.
Su Yang followed behind, feeling nervous as well, because he didn’t know if this distance exceeded Dao Ji’s limit.
If Dao Ji could reach the World Melting Furnace, then it would really have been delivered right into Dao Ji’s hands.
If the distance exceeded Dao Ji’s limit, then he could seize the opportunity to trap Dao Ji.
But the outcome was unknown—Su Yang was taking a desperate chance!
Dao Ji’s pace was slow, because with each step, he had to feel the Storm Power around him, to see if he could bear it.
This distance almost took Dao Ji the entire day to cover.
Su Yang watched from behind, seeing Dao Ji get closer to the World Melting Furnace, his heart hanging in suspense.
Could it be that he hadn’t thrown it far enough?
However, Dao Ji’s pace was slowing down bit by bit. Now, the storm power had nearly stripped the flesh from his body, and his bones were making creaking sounds as if sharp knives were scraping them continuously.
The pain was nothing to mention—at their level of power, they had tasted all kinds of pain, and Dao Ji could endure it. But what truly terrified him was the ever-increasing storm power; he knew his bones were nearing their limit.
Once the storm power shattered his bones, it would further damage his Primordial Energy, something he absolutely did not want to see.
But, looking at the World Melting Furnace ahead, he was truly unwilling to give up. Just a few more steps, and he could take the World Melting Furnace. Was he to abandon it now?
Step after step, the World Melting Furnace was within reach. But just then, Dao Ji’s arm made a crisp snapping sound; his hand bone was finally shattered by the storm power.
Dao Ji’s expression changed, and Su Yang was delighted—Dao Ji had finally reached his limit. If he continued forward, his bones would be shattered by the World Melting Furnace!
Dao Ji hastily withdrew his hand, looking at the World Melting Furnace just a step away from him, his expression turned dark.
The frustration was maddening—just one more step, and yet he had reached his limit. Was he really going to give up on the World Melting Furnace like this?
Dao Ji turned to look at Su Yang, who was standing behind, smiling at him.
"Come on, try to reach it!" Su Yang laughed, "Maybe you can take it, and with the World Melting Furnace, your ambitions can be realized. You’re here already, are you willing to give up?"
Dao Ji knew Su Yang was trying to provoke him. But as Su Yang said, was he willing to give up, having come this far?
After a long silence, Dao Ji suddenly gritted his teeth and roared, "No one can stop me, I am supreme in the Three Thousand Great Worlds!"
With the roar, Dao Ji suddenly lunged forward, reaching his hand toward the World Melting Furnace.
Su Yang’s face changed; he hadn’t expected Dao Ji to be so desperate, actually daring to seize the World Melting Furnace under such circumstances.
As Dao Ji took that step, Su Yang heard his entire skeleton cracking. The storm power was continuously breaking his bones.
Dao Ji gritted his teeth without a word, using all his remaining True Yuan. He was truly fighting desperately—once he got the World Melting Furnace, even if his True Yuan was completely exhausted, it would be worth it. So, it was worth the fight!
Su Yang watched from behind, his eyes on Dao Ji, who was about to grasp the World Melting Furnace. Panicked, he rushed up to snatch the World Melting Furnace.
"Courting death!" Dao Ji roared, using his other hand to clutch Su Yang’s neck, lifting him into the air.
Dao Ji had been cunning; although he took a step forward, that hand hadn’t reached forward. So, the bones of that hand remained intact, securely gripping Su Yang.
Seeing Dao Ji’s other broken hand about to reach the World Melting Furnace, Su Yang couldn’t care about anything else and shattered his own True Yuan, lunging forward with all his might.
Dao Ji’s leg bones, already broken yet barely supporting him, couldn’t bear any force. Su Yang’s struggle directly shattered them.
Dao Ji stumbled and fell heavily forward.
Although he grasped the World Melting Furnace with the fall, all his bones shattered.
However, Dao Ji showed no panic, only sheer joy, because he had already caught the World Melting Furnace.
Gripping the World Melting Furnace, Dao Ji struggled to retreat.
At this moment, Su Yang broke free from his shattered hand, quickly running over and grabbing the World Melting Furnace tightly.
"Let go!" Dao Ji roared, his bones shattered and now having little power to fight Su Yang. For a moment, he couldn’t seize the World Melting Furnace.
"In your dreams!" Su Yang shouted, holding onto the World Melting Furnace without letting go. He couldn’t make Dao Ji release his grip, but he certainly wouldn’t let go himself.
The two were at a stalemate for a while, with Dao Ji’s True Yuan depleting rapidly. Unlike Su Yang, his bones couldn’t withstand the storm power.
Seeing the situation, Dao Ji let out a mad roar of frustration, reluctantly releasing his grip and retreating.
Su Yang, holding the World Melting Furnace, took a few steps deeper, looking coldly at Dao Ji.
"Su, I will never share the sky with you!" Dao Ji screamed madly.
"Suit yourself!" Su Yang replied coldly through clenched teeth.
"I refuse to believe you can hide in there forever!" Dao Ji screamed, turning to leave.
This venture had nearly exhausted Dao Ji’s True Yuan, and he needed to get out quickly to absorb Spiritual Energy. Otherwise, he couldn’t bear it any longer.
Watching Dao Ji leave, Su Yang finally let out a sigh of relief. Although he hadn’t trapped Dao Ji to death, he had surmounted the current ordeal.
Moreover, seeing Dao Ji like this, he clearly hadn’t obtained the Heaven Slayer’s legacy. Not only that, but he had suffered a great loss in the Demon Abyss, giving Su Yang much peace of mind.
If he hadn’t obtained these things, he wasn’t invincible, and could still be defeated.
Su Yang, holding the World Melting Furnace, continued forward, eventually reaching an absolutely safe place where he finally set the World Melting Furnace down.
Carrying the World Melting Furnace, he couldn’t cross the Spirit Liquid Lake—Su Yang had already tested this before. After all, the Spirit Liquid Lake acts as another entrance to the World Melting Furnace—Su Yang couldn’t bring the World Melting Furnace into the World Melting Furnace.
Leaving the World Melting Furnace in Storm Valley was the safest option. Whether Dao Ji or that Guardian God’s Main God, neither could reach this position. By leaving the World Melting Furnace here, he wasn’t worried about it being snatched away.
