Upon hearing this, Immortal Xu’s face became completely distorted, no longer appearing human.
Only naked killing intent remained in his eyes.
“Arrogant ant! I have lived for a millennium! I have witnessed the fall of countless geniuses! Today, I will scatter your soul!”
He suddenly spread his arms.
The phantom of Yamata no Orochi instantly solidified.
Its heads reared up, and as its tongues flicked, even the air hissed with corrosion.
Immortal Xu’s voice overlapped with the serpent’s shadow, carrying a non-human resonance, “I want you to watch your own flesh being devoured inch by inch!”
Clearly, the great serpent was infuriated.
While Su Fu exchanged blows with him, she took advantage of his attention being fully diverted to quickly activate [To Know One’s Fate].
The white spiritual mist that originally represented the Immortal Ship had been locked and devoured by the crimson mist.
But now, because of her deliberate provocation, that red mist boiled with rage, turning all its spears to surge toward her.
This meant it had loosened its hold on devouring the Immortal Ship.
Now was the chance!
Su Fu immediately activated Nuwa’s Communication Technique. ‘Are you there? Are you okay?’
Previously, the Immortal Ship had given no response.
But now, due to Yamata no Orochi’s distraction, a trace of extremely faint consciousness appeared.
It responded vaguely: “Save… save me… save me…”
The Immortal Ship’s response was incredibly weak and intermittent, barely forming words.
Furthermore, it lacked any reason, leaving only the instinctive wail for survival.
It was clearly on the brink of collapse.
That once spiritually elegant and auspicious land, the majestic Penglai Immortal Isle, was now just a hollowed-out shell—a dying consciousness struggling to maintain its last sliver of life.
Over the countless years, it had been imprisoned, coiled until it choked, and corroded by venom.
It could only watch as it was eaten away piece by piece, heading toward the abyss of death.
“You really deserve to die.”Su Fu’s anger flared.
If she hadn’t discovered this, if she really had “not disturbed” him as Immortal Xu suggested and left soon after, the Immortal Ship would have definitely died.
It would have been completely digested in silence, turning into a mass of filth inside Yamata no Orochi’s belly!
And Immortal Xu and Yamata no Orochi would have seen their power explode from the consumption.
‘No. I’m taking the Immortal Ship back!’
Immortal Xu watched as Yamata no Orochi’s attacks fell like a violent storm.
Eight snake heads simultaneously spat corrosive venom, causing the entire space to sizzle.
In the cramped space, Su Fu could only hold the Golden Cudgel, dodging back and forth in a disheveled state.
He laughed wildly, “Is this all you have? I thought you were so powerful, but you’re only at this level!”
“After devouring you today, I’ll let you know that there is always someone better out there.”
Yamata no Orochi also let out a hissing laugh.
Its eight heads formed a circle, waiting for the moment the prey’s strength was exhausted to swallow her whole.
Just as Su Fu was forced into a corner, she suddenly stopped her movements and put away the Golden Cudgel.
Immortal Xu was stunned, then burst into laughter, “What? Accepting your fate? Realizing you can’t escape and preparing to wait for death?”
“In that case, I’ll grant your wish—!”
The eight heads of Yamata no Orochi lunged at Su Fu together, opening their bloody maws to swallow her in one bite.
However, Su Fu only looked up coldly and muttered, “I call upon the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang—”
“Help me!”
In an instant, a pressure as vast as the ocean poured down.
The salty smell of the sea filled the air.
The entire space felt as though it had sunk into the depths of the abyss.
A heaven-shaking dragon roar echoed like a thunderclap, causing Immortal Xu’s eardrums to bleed.
The eight serpent shadows were severely wounded, convulsing frantically as they retracted.
“What—?!” Immortal Xu’s wild laughter came to an abrupt halt.
Behind Su Fu, a massive green shadow slowly emerged, then condensed into a rearing Azure Dragon.
Its scales were like jade, its eyes like bright stars, and its horns like sharp blades.
It looked down at Yamata no Orochi as if looking down at an ant.
That was the Azure Dragon Divine Manifestation, the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang.
As the giant dragon looked down at Yamata no Orochi in the loft, the serpent’s imposing manner instantly withered.
It began to tremble uncontrollably, an instinctive fear reaching into its very marrow.
Su Fu gave a light laugh, “It seems you are not only ugly but also stupid.”
Immortal Xu’s face changed drastically as he finally realized, “You were stalling for time just now!”
Su Fu didn’t answer him.
She felt the surging Divine Power within her.
It felt incredible.
With every breath, endless power poured into her blood and bones.
She could feel her physical strength increasing at least a hundredfold in an instant.
Her vision became clearer than ever before.
Just by clenching her fist, she created a sonic boom in the air.
This was the blessing of the Dragon King’s Divine Manifestation.
She suddenly thought, ‘So this is how Master feels. It’s amazing.’
Su Fu raised her hand, and the Azure Dragon manifestation behind her mirrored the movement.
“A little snake like Yamata dares to encroach upon the territory of China?”
The dragon claw slammed down!
“Gaaah—!”
Yamata no Orochi let out a shrill scream, twisting its body frantically to escape, but it was pinned down by the Azure Dragon manifestation, unable to move at all.
The dragon claw exerted a little pressure, crushing Yamata no Orochi’s spine inch by inch.
“Crack!”
One snake head exploded into a blood mist on the spot!
The remaining seven heads emitted painful roars and wails, twisting even more frantically.
Immortal Xu spat out a mouthful of black blood.
He was deeply linked to Yamata no Orochi, and now he suffered a massive backlash.
“No! Impossible!” Immortal Xu looked at Su Fu in horror and said, “How could you… how could you possibly summon a Dragon King!”
“Yeah,” Su Fu smiled brightly, “I didn’t expect it either. It just so happens to be a bloodline suppression—”
“I’m your natural predator.”
The subsequent battle—no, rather than a battle, it was a one-sided massacre.
The Dragon King manifestation was like a cat playing with its prey, swatting Yamata no Orochi claw after claw.
One head, two heads… “crackle, crackle”, they were pinched to pieces.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The snake heads exploded one after another.
Immortal Xu howled in pain.
From its initial arrogance, Yamata no Orochi was now left with only fear and the instinct to survive.
With only a few heads remaining, the dying serpent was pinned firmly to the ground by the Azure Dragon.
Su Fu walked over and patted it, “Will you keep eating things you shouldn’t?”
Yamata no Orochi: “…Waaaah!”
Su Fu: “…..”
‘What is it babbling about?’
Chesia was currently coiled around the mast of the Immortal Ship, trembling as she watched this terrifying scene.
The sight of Yamata no Orochi being pinned and beaten by the Azure Dragon was truly too impactful.
“Oh, God!” Chesia’s heart hammered. “Su Fu didn’t say she could summon a Dragon King herself!”
No wonder she had said she possessed the Dragonization Technique back then.
She really hadn’t been lying.
“Too fierce! My god! I can’t look!” Chesia curled herself into a ball, covering her eyes with her tail.
In the distance, the heads of Yamata no Orochi were being blown apart one by one.
The remaining ones let out shrill howls; it was a miserable sight.
She realized late that it was lucky she hadn’t offended Su Fu before.
She was terrified.
She was completely terrified now.
In the future, she would do whatever Su Fu said.
She wouldn’t dare have even a hint of disagreement!
George, Yi Congling, and the others looked at the majestic Azure Dragon manifestation.
It was their first time seeing a Divine Dragon look so cool.
“My god! Su Fu really provides the full dragon treatment?”
“Is this the Dragon King of China? Why does it feel like there’s such a huge gap between different dragons?”
“Simply ferocious.”
Theresa’s expression was hard to describe, “Yamata no Orochi was so arrogant before… and this is the result?”
In reality, it wasn’t that Yamata no Orochi was weak.
It had already devoured more than half of the Immortal Ship.
Its power had long surpassed that of ordinary gods.
Had it been any other opponent, they would have likely been completely corroded by it.
But unfortunately, it encountered a Divine Dragon of China.
Not only was there a bloodline suppression, but the power gap was also absolute.
Seeing that seven of the Yamata no Orochi’s eight heads had been blown apart, and the last remaining head was wobbling on the brink of collapse, Immortal Xu completely panicked.
Covered in blood, he struggled to crawl up, shouting in desperate madness, “No, you can’t kill me!”
His words came out in a frantic rush, his voice so sharp it broke, “The Yamata no Orochi and the Immortal Ship have long been deeply bound; they are one and the same! If you kill me, it’s the same as making the entire Immortal Ship be buried with me!”
Seeing Su Fu pause her movements, he immediately seized the opportunity and rushed to explain, “It’s like… like vines tangling around a giant tree. After a long time, the vine and the tree can no longer be separated. Over these years, the Yamata no Orochi has already penetrated every corner of the Immortal Ship. A long period of symbiosis has caused them to intertwine. If you force them apart, the Immortal Ship won’t survive! If you kill it, the Immortal Ship will be like a boat having its skeleton ripped out — it will disintegrate in an instant!”
He said urgently, “Don’t you want Penglai anymore?”
In that heartbeat, Su Fu activated the Heavenly Eye.
Sure enough, she saw the two entities intertwined in her vision, long since tangled beyond repair.
The Yamata no Orochi had reached such a stage of consumption that it could no longer leave.
It would either die or finish its feast entirely.
This was likely why Immortal Xu insisted on staying on the Immortal Ship despite the risks.
If she killed the Yamata no Orochi now, the entire Immortal Ship would likely disintegrate and collapse immediately, turning into nothingness.
Seeing Su Fu’s expression waver, Immortal Xu hurried to strike while the iron was hot, his voice even carrying a hint of a plea.
“Let it live for a little while longer. You can slowly, slowly remove the influence of the Yamata no Orochi and me. That way, the Immortal Ship won’t be affected! Right?”
‘As long as I stay alive, there’s still a chance to turn the tables,’ he thought, ‘No matter how strong this dragon is, she can’t guard me twenty-four hours a day. Once she leaves, I can start over, continue devouring the Immortal Ship, and even find a chance to kill her and take her power for myself.’
