Chapter 1203: Chapter 1203: A Life for a Life

"Su Chengyu, what exactly is Yamata no Orochi from the Demon Clan?"

After passing through the Dragon Gate, Ye Qingci had a brief interaction with Su Chengyu, who had become part of the consciousness of the Dragon Gate. Having fused with the remnant souls of countless True Dragons who had died there, he knew much more about Yamata no Orochi than Ye Qingci did.

"Demon Clan? That guy doesn’t count as the Demon Clan anymore, he’s just a failed transformation into a dragon, nothing but a monster."

That was Su Chengyu’s assessment of Yamata no Orochi, and after seeing its hideous true form, Ye Qingci finally understood why it was called a monster.

There are many special Demon Clans in Dongying, mostly born of demon hybrid blood. Because they possess traits from various demons, they look quite peculiar.

But the Yamata no Orochi before them was more than just a mixture of a few Demon Clan traits; its true form was covered with traits from all sorts of demons, and with just a casual glance, Ye Qingci could confirm at least a hundred different kinds.

Of course, so many traits couldn’t possibly come from bloodline inheritance. The only other possibility was that these traits were acquired through Yamata no Orochi’s consumption of living beings.

"No wonder such a monster was sealed within Mount Fuji, paired with that active volcano."

"Shut your mouth!"

Yamata no Orochi roared excitedly. It naturally didn’t care about being called a monster, but the latter was its sore point!

The union of that True Dragon with those Onmyoji sealed it here, a pain it carried for life. It had spent half its life seeking a way to leave Mount Fuji, but now, just as hope appeared, it was dashed by the person before it.

At this moment, Yamata no Orochi’s hatred for Ye Qingci exceeded any other person it had encountered in its life.

Devour her!

"If I consume the dragon essence within her body and transform it, perhaps, perhaps I might have a chance to fully become a dragon, to break through the seal completely!"

As its desires grew, Yamata no Orochi’s eyes revealed a greedy longing as it watched Ye Qingci.

Eight heads charged forward, and sticky drool fell to the ground as they moved rapidly, instantly corroding the earth and leaving a large mark.

"Demon Slayer Department, Ye Qingci, today I shall rid the world of you, this great menace!"

Ye Qingci too was proactive in slaying demons, but unlike following orders, he made his own judgment about whether a member of the Demon Clan needed to be killed, whether they posed a threat to the mortal world.

As for the Yamata no Orochi before him, Ye Qingci was certain that if this creature lost control, if it appeared outside of Mount Fuji, it wouldn’t just be a disaster for Dongying, but for Xia Country and even the entire world.

Putting all grievances aside, Yamata no Orochi deserved to die!

"Folding Leaves Picking Stars!"

The same strike, which Ye Qingci had executed as a Nascent Soul, and then later in the Hollow Vacuum stage, he now unleashed as an Earth Immortal, and the magnitude was entirely different!

The sky turned utterly dark the instant the Sword Momentum appeared, with countless bright stars hanging in the sky and continuously falling.

Those stars, drawing nearer, turned into huge meteors, smashing down towards Yamata no Orochi like an apocalyptic natural disaster!

The massive meteor shower not only blocked Yamata no Orochi’s path but also utterly extinguished its last hope. It watched the scene unfold, incredulously uttering, "Impossible! To change heaven and earth? You’ve only just become an Earth Immortal! You haven’t even bathed in heavenly lightning, how can you do this?"

Connecting with heaven and earth as a Hollow Vacuum, changing heaven and earth as an Earth Immortal; these are common understandings.

But as a Demon God, Yamata no Orochi knew very well that even for an Earth Immortal, truly changing heaven and earth was by no means easy.

Even for itself, to achieve such a feat, it would only be possible by connecting to Mount Fuji’s ley lines and harnessing the imminent volcanic eruption, it might be able to do something similar.

Yet Ye Qingci before it had done so, without borrowing any external forces, with just one person and one sword, he had accomplished this feat.

"That’s why I said, killing you will be enough."

Bang!

Meteor after meteor landed on the Yamata no Orochi’s body, making it utterly unable to approach Ye Qingci by half a step. The Yamata no Orochi, with an extremely ugly expression, watched Ye Qingci intently, understanding it no longer had the possibility of getting close to her.

"So what if it is so? Even if you possess exceptional strength, you’re ultimately devoid of the chance to ascend to immortality! But I’m different! I..."

Before it could finish its final words, the remnant soul of the Yamata no Orochi had already dissipated between heaven and earth.

Ye Qingci didn’t speak. Although the other’s voice had abruptly cut off, she understood very well what it wanted to say.

The part of the Yamata no Orochi that entered this Cave Heaven was just a fragment of its remnant soul, not its true self. Although the Yamata no Orochi was a monster, it had truly bathed in heavenly thunder and indeed had the potential to ascend to The Immortal World.

However, Ye Qingci didn’t care about that. She would simply kill it before that happened.

Ye Qingci took a deep breath, recalled her Sky-splitting Sword, then flew back to Su Chengyu’s side on the ground. Su Chengyu, with completely depleted mana, was as weak as a withered old man. If not for the Yamata no Orochi’s demonic power keeping him in a "living" state, Su Chengyu would have died countless times over by now.

Ye Qingci took out several elixirs from her spatial ring, but ultimately put them away again. With Su Chengyu’s current condition, these elixirs were likely ineffective.

"Use this instead."

The voice of Long Xuan suddenly sounded from behind her, and Ye Qingci caught the elixir bottle tossed over from behind.

"This is the Holy Medicine from Mount Longhu, the Longhu Vitality Pill. Though it’s not a God-ranked Elixir, it has a special efficacy in healing. It should have considerable effects on his current condition."

Ye Qingci glanced at the elixir. There was no problem with the elixir, but she still looked at Long Xuan with some confusion.

"Why would you help me?"

Long Xuan shook his head, "I’m not helping you. I just don’t want to owe you a favor."

Ye Qingci frowned slightly then asked, "Because I saved you just now?"

Long Xuan shook his head again, "No, it’s because you’ve resolved a long-standing puzzle for me."

Hearing this, Ye Qingci finally took a good look at Long Xuan and noticed subtle changes in him, "You’re also going to ascend to immortality?"

Long Xuan nodded, "Yes, I’ve always wondered why others could ascend before me. Now I understand, without seeing you become an Earth Immortal, I would never have comprehended where my own bottleneck lay."

Long Xuan was born knowing his fate, believing in fate, yet had never entertained the idea or thought of breaking through predetermined destiny.

After all, his life’s journey had been too smooth sailing, everything proceeding in an orderly fashion to reach the foremost position.

"Is this the reason you’ve been watching me?"

Ye Qingci asked.

"I know this doesn’t make up for it, but if you want to kill me now, I have nothing to say."

"Kill you? Then end up in trouble like this guy?"

Ye Qingci spoke with a cold laugh. It was impossible for Long Xuan not to have secret techniques to report back to the Long family and Mount Longhu about who killed him.

If it were someone else, it might be okay, but this was Long Xuan!

Ye Qingci didn’t have absolute confidence in hiding everything, making the Long family unaware that it was she who had acted.

Long Xuan turned his gaze to Su Chengyu, "Then trade my life for his."

"Without your elixir, I can save him just the same."

"I know, I’m not speaking of now, but of Capital City."
