Chapter 588: The Transaction with Yamata no Orochi
The fierce battle between Qin Chen and Yamata no Orochi caused severe damage to the surrounding land, with huge deep pits everywhere, which could even fill up the entire mountain.
The extreme aftermath affected an area of a million miles. If they had not been far away from Dubai, the entire city would probably have been reduced to ruins by now.
"The emperor soul of Yamata no Orochi has been deceived. Perhaps this is an opportunity. Su Lu relied on the formation to forcibly enslave Yamata no Orochi. Then, can I also use another method to make Yamata no Orochi obey me?"
Suddenly, he had a bold idea. Instead of killing Yamata no Orochi or driving it away, he might as well take Yamata no Orochi and use it for himself! Now that he was a forbidden spell mage, and such a young one at that, there was no guarantee that no one would have ideas about him, especially the Holy City. Although he was not afraid, if the Holy City used its numbers to bully the few and sent multiple forbidden spell mages to besiege him, he would still be in danger. So if he could subdue Yamata no Orochi, at least his own capital would be very strong, and many things that he had not dared to do before might be realized.
"Dream Pagoda-Mind Invasion"
The imperial soul of Yamata no Orochi was now blinded, and with Qin Chen's own spiritual power, he quickly invaded the soul of Yamata no Orochi with the power of the mind.
Here, Qin Chen saw the scarlet curse ring imprisoning the Yamata no Orochi, and its true emperor soul had fallen into self-seal.
Qin Chen found the self-sealed Emperor Soul of the Yamata no Orochi and rushed into it. After all, it was just a wisp of his mental power, so it didn't matter even if it was swallowed.
"hiss!!!!"
As soon as Qin Chen entered the seal of the Yamata no Orochi Emperor Soul, he immediately felt a heavy soul pressure. That soul pressure was much stronger than the pressure of the irrational Yamata no Orochi outside.
At this moment, the eight pairs of snake eyes of the Yamata no Orochi Emperor Soul were staring at Qin Chen. In those eight pairs of snake eyes, Qin Chen saw wisdom and calmness. It did not launch an attack, but just looked at Qin Chen, as if it could see through Qin Chen's thoughts.
"You don't seem to be worried about your situation? Or are you used to being enslaved?"
Qin Chen’s eyes were also fixed on the Yamata no Orochi Emperor Soul.
"Don't worry, because I see endless greed in your eyes. You also want to enslave me."
Yamata no Orochi said calmly that over the past thousand years, Yamata no Orochi was no longer the emperor it once was. During the thousand years of imprisonment, it learned the human language, human wisdom, and also learned the human fear of death and servility.
During the thousand years of imprisonment, it had the most contact with people from the Yui family. On several occasions, it even pretended to be weak and dying, so that people from the Yui family brought it a lot of good things for nourishment.
When the Yui family was weak, he made deals with them a few times, asking them to give him some humans to devour. Then Yamata no Orochi used his own flesh and blood and scales as a deal to make the Yui family prosperous again. It can be said that Yamata no Orochi has had the most contact with humans over the past thousand years, and humans are also the ones he is most angry about.
When it fell into Su Lu's trap, it knew that it could not escape. Rather than die unwillingly or be tortured by the curse, it would be better to submit to Su Lu, avoid the curse and torture, and not be imprisoned in that dark cage.
However, its remaining pride made it unwilling to follow its own cowardice, so it sealed its imperial soul.
This contradictory character is very similar to the cowardly yet proud character of Yui's family.
It can be said that the current Yamata no Orochi no longer has the wildness and pride of the emperor it once had. Now it is more like a semi-tamed demon.
"No, I don't want to enslave you, and I have no interest in slavery. I just want to make a deal with you."
Seeing that the Yamata no Orochi was so rational, Qin Chen couldn't help but smile. It's good to talk to a rational creature.
"What do you want?"
Yamata no Orochi still asked calmly.
"I want you to break the contract with Su Lu and fight Su Lu together with me. Then you will serve me for five years. Within five years, I will help you recover from all your injuries, including your soul injuries. After five years, I will set you free. How about that?"
Qin Chen told the content of his transaction.
"Why do you think I will agree to you? Su Lu is a human being. Even if he enslaves me, he can only enslave me for fifty years at most. After fifty years, when he dies, I will naturally be free again."
Yamata no Orochi said that it had this idea in the beginning. Su Lu was a human being and was already over 50 years old, while the human lifespan was about 100 years. After Su Lu died, Yamata no Orochi would be free again.
Rather than agreeing to Qin Chen and breaking the contract with Su Lu, which would cause damage to its own soul, it would be better for it to survive. It has survived thousands of years of imprisonment, so it is not afraid of enduring another fifty years.
"I can kill you if you don't agree. I will kill you and make your body into my magic tool."
Qin Chen looked at the Yamata no Orochi confidently and said that the Yamata no Orochi was not in its best condition now. Not only was its soul damaged, but its body was also seriously injured. It was not impossible to kill it.
"If you can do that, I'll agree to your deal!"
At this moment, the Yamata no Orochi could no longer maintain its calm expression, but it quickly adjusted itself. Having been imprisoned a thousand years ago and being enslaved now, all these setbacks had worn down its edge.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If Qin Chen has the ability to kill him, it means that Qin Chen is stronger than him. It makes no difference to him whether he submits to Su Lu or to Qin Chen.
Compared to Su Lu, Qin Chen at least gave it hope of being reborn, even if it was false.
"Okay, remember your promise. Don't seal yourself up again when the time comes. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll accidentally kill you."
Qin Chen said with satisfaction, and then left.
In the outside world, the Yamata no Orochi was distracted for only a moment, and Qin Chen had already completed the transaction with its imperial soul.
"hiss!!!"
For some unknown reason, the Yamata no Orochi's fury suddenly surged. It raised its eight heads to the sky at the same time and opened its mouth wide, as if to swallow the heavens and the earth. The eight endless elements in the sky madly poured into its eight mouths like a funnel in the sky.
The eight kinds of power in the Yamata no Orochi's body are now all gathered in the snake's throat, where they are tempered and compressed, transforming all the power into the most powerful snake breath.
“BOOM!!!!”
Eight violent snake breaths spewed out at the same time, and it was like eight rainbows of different colors streaking across the sky, leaving indelible scars of destruction on the entire sky.
