Chapter 1554: Chapter 1466: The Dao of Ruthlessness

King Yama uttered Jiang Yikang’s name, having already grasped the perfect timing, just when Wang Yan was on the brink of madness. He suddenly cast this final blow, which would be the last straw to break the camel’s back.

Upon hearing King Yama actually reveal Jiang Yikang’s name, Meng Po’s heart sank, instantly plunging into endless despair.

Meng Po had guessed that Wang Yan’s father was indeed Jiang Yikang.

However, this was precisely why Meng Po dared not disclose the truth.

If Wang Yan’s father were someone else, Meng Po could find countless reasons to explain why Wang Yan’s father didn’t seek him.

But if it was Jiang Yikang, who is omnipotent in the heavens and earth, what difficulty could possibly hinder him?

Back then, Jiang Yikang fought the Three Realms, even killing the Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Realm. Therefore, just finding Wang Yan, his long-lost son, Jiang Yikang should have had no trouble.

As a result, Wang Yan living alone might very well be because Jiang Yikang abandoned him.

Meng Po couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, already envisioning Wang Yan’s complete descent into madness.

Indeed, Wang Yan’s body trembled involuntarily, as the grasp on King Yama’s hand slowly relaxed.

King Yama couldn’t help but feel elated. He stared intently at Wang Yan’s eyes, waiting for the last trace of white representing sanity to vanish.

Under King Yama’s gaze, Wang Yan’s eyes suddenly flickered, indeed changing color.

King Yama’s mouth curled into a smile, slowly blossoming on his face. The planning over these many years, his bitter hatred with Jiang Yikang, was finally avenged today.

Driving Jiang Yikang’s son into madness, turning him into his slave, wouldn’t that be more satisfying than killing him personally?

This was exactly the trap King Yama had set.

Unexpectedly, just as the curve of King Yama’s mouth was rising, the smile hadn’t fully spread over his face when it immediately froze.

For he saw, Wang Yan’s eyes had not turned the expected blood-red, instead they had completely returned to normal.

The eyes were black, the pupils white, black and white sharply distinct, filled with tranquility.

“How can this be!”

King Yama was instantly stunned; why hadn’t his ultimate bombshell crushed Wang Yan?

At this moment, Wang Yan’s entire aura immediately calmed, while the boiling blood on the ground also peacefully settled down.

Already pushed to their limits, Beiming Xue and others immediately escaped their predicament.

They narrowly escaped death, not understanding what happened, but were filled with joy, all of them raising their heads to look at Wang Yan, unable to believe Wang Yan truly returned to normal.

King Yama’s face was also full of disbelief, hesitantly asked, “Did you understand? Who is your father?”

Wang Yan faintly smiled, nodded, and said, “Is it Jiang Yikang?”

King Yama furrowed his brow, said, “Yes, aren’t you saddened? Don’t you know Jiang Yikang’s skills reach the heavens; he could find you at any time. Moreover, he bears the surname Jiang, while you bear the surname Wang. You couldn’t even inherit his surname.”

Wang Yan raised an eyebrow, laughed and said, “True, perhaps he is watching me from the sky now.”

After speaking, Wang Yan gazed up at the sky above him, then slowly said, “I finally understand my master’s words. He told me only by standing at the peak of the world would I have the chance to find my father. Indeed, if I do not achieve world-peak skills, how can I be fit to be my father’s son.”

Upon seeing this, King Yama was utterly dumbfounded; how could his brilliant move turn into a bad play?

Wang Yan, just about to lose his mind, was awakened by only his last words.

Had he known earlier, why would he have needed to mention Jiang Yikang’s name?

But now, even though at this moment, King Yama still wouldn’t give up, he said, “Wang Yan, you must understand, he abandoned you for twenty years, didn’t care about you at all.”

However, Wang Yan simply shook his head and said, “You are wrong. Although he hasn’t shown face over these twenty years, he has been watching over me every moment.”

King Yama wanted to persuade further, yet suddenly caught sight of the Starlight Ring on Wang Yan’s finger.

Suddenly, King Yama understood everything, inwardly cursed, “Jiang Yikang, oh Jiang Yikang, when did you give Wang Yan your Starlight Ring? You old fox, had I known, why would I have mentioned your name.”

Yet, before King Yama could regret, Wang Yan’s fingers tightened, firmly grasping King Yama’s throat.

Next, Wang Yan’s Power of Dao Realm continuously surged into King Yama’s body.

King Yama’s throat tightened, urgently said, “Wait, Wang Yan, don’t you want to know who I am?”

Wang Yan coldly said, “You’re just one of my father’s defeated subordinates; your name is utterly unimportant.”

Seeing Wang Yan was no longer swayed by his manipulation, King Yama’s face changed drastically; his entire Power of Dao Realm was completely suppressed by Wang Yan’s Dao Realm, unable to release.

At this moment, only to hear an icy voice emanating from King Yama’s body, “Daozhen, you’re indeed useless, defeated so easily.”

With this statement, a burst of icy aura erupted from King Yama’s body, instantly rushing towards Wang Yan.

Wang Yan only felt King Yama’s realm instantaneously doubled in strength; his own hand couldn’t grasp King Yama’s throat anymore, involuntarily loosened his grip, then stepped back several paces, finally steadying himself.

And now, King Yama’s entire aura suddenly changed, no longer the vengeance-filled King Yama, but an ice-cold person like a block of ice.

At this point, an irritable voice within King Yama’s body sounded, “Guo Zehuan, be useful. Let’s see how you defeat him.”

At this moment, Meng Po said, “Wang Yan, there are two people within King Yama’s body, one specializes in the Path of Hatred, the other comprehends the Path of Emotionlessness. Be cautious, now King Yama is called Guo Zehuan, he is countless times stronger than Daozhen.”

It turned out, King Yama’s body held two people.

One named Daozhen, comprehending the Path of Hatred, just defeated by Wang Yan.

The other named Guo Zehuan, comprehending the Path of Emotionlessness, currently dominating King Yama’s body.

Even if Meng Po hadn’t said, Wang Yan could feel King Yama’s transformation; King Yama was now extremely powerful, even making Wang Yan feel a sense of reverence.

King Yama cast a gaze upon Wang Yan, his cold eyes swept over him, his tone entirely devoid of emotional color, said to Wang Yan, “I hold a grudge against Jiang Yikang, hence I must kill you for vengeance.”

Though he spoke of grievance, King Yama’s voice was indifferent, as if he were merely a passerby, tone unwavering.

Yet this statement made everyone shudder, sending chills down their spines, covering their bodies in goosebumps.

With this utterance, King Yama stepped forward, aimed a palm at Wang Yan.

Though just a mere palm, Wang Yan felt his entire being frozen, unable to move in an instant.
