Chapter 236

At that moment, both men had only one bitterly ironic thought: even as they stood before the God-Slayer, their own comrades were still clueless—thinking instead about punishing them at a time like this?

Suddenly, Heiyun and Baitu could no longer hold back. They blurted out loudly, "Be careful! She's the God-Slayer!"

At the same time, they shut their eyes tight, bracing themselves for death.

Because Yukika was so close to them, and now they had dared to expose her true identity out loud, they assumed she would kill them both on the spot.

But they were wrong. Yukika simply ignored them and flew directly toward the castle ahead.

Up on the castle, the Ōtsutsuki clan members were stunned when they heard their comrades reveal Yukika's true identity as a God-Slayer.

But it was too late to think now—Yukika had already arrived.

The King of Zero…

In the air, two golden blades crossed, as if passing judgment on fate itself.

The group of Ōtsutsuki didn't have time to process anything. It felt as though a curse had fallen upon them—they were frozen in place, completely unable to move, standing there in a daze.

The next moment, they saw a handsome yet terrifying figure with huge black wings swoop down from the sky—it was Kun, descending upon their stronghold.

His emerald-green eyes radiated a chilling light, and anyone who looked into them would feel their soul tremble violently.

"Y-You! Who are you?" one of them couldn't help but cry out.

Yukika sneered and said coldly, "Didn't your comrades just tell you? I might be what you call the God-Slayer."

Whether or not she really was a God-Slayer didn't matter to Yukika. What did matter was that the Ōtsutsuki clan's massive plot on Earth was something she absolutely couldn't tolerate.

Just then, Yukika lightly waved her hand. A massive Buddhist shadow descended from the sky, carrying a strange, eerie force that pinned all of the Ōtsutsuki clan members to the ground, rendering them immobile.

The power of spiritual energy was always mysterious and overwhelming, and the faces of the Ōtsutsuki clan turned ashen with fear.

"This power… it's exactly as the ancestors described. Has the God-Slayer really arrived?"

The tallest of the group, who seemed to be their leader, murmured to himself, his face pale as paper.

Suddenly, an angry roar rang out in the air as a ferocious beast leapt out of Yukika's storage pouch!

It was Qiongqi, the fierce beast she had recently subdued, now revealing its true form as it appeared before the Ōtsutsuki clan.

When Qiongqi appeared, all the clan members were overwhelmed with terror. They trembled uncontrollably and dropped to their knees.

From the beast's body, they could feel a divine aura—an aura tied to the blood of their ancestors.

Even though it was only a small display of its power, they couldn't bear it and were forced to lower their heads to the ground.

Yukika silently watched Qiongqi, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

She had summoned the beast mainly as a test—and things had turned out exactly as she'd expected.

Qiongqi's origins seemed shrouded in mystery—and immense strength.

She remembered back in the ancient Loulan Kingdom, how Qiongqi had once said that its chakra had been stripped away by the "bald monk" ancestor of its own tribe.

Now, seeing the reaction of the Ōtsutsuki clan, Yukika easily deduced that Qiongqi's true identity was likely connected to the Ōtsutsuki—a real powerhouse among them!

Having achieved her goal, Yukika made a subtle gesture. Qiongqi, though reluctant, let out a low growl, its enormous eyes flashing with resignation before it returned to Yukika's storage pouch.

After everything was done, Yukika looked at the scene of Ōtsutsuki bodies lying scattered on the ground.

The tall clan member gave a bitter laugh and said, "My lord… why does our ancestor, now in the form of a beast, obey your command? It's absurd…"

He was at a loss for words. That beast had indeed displayed the unique aura of their ancestor.

Yet this beast now submitted to the person standing before them—it was almost impossible to believe.

Wasn't this woman the God-Slayer? Logically, their ancestor and the God-Slayer were sworn enemies—mortal foes. How could they possibly coexist, let alone work together?

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Yukika chuckled to herself.

Her plan was working. Now it was time to start deceiving the Ōtsutsuki clan.

Yukika coughed lightly and said, "To tell you the truth, I've been living on this planet for more than ten thousand years."

The moment those words fell, the entire Ōtsutsuki clan was struck dumb with shock.

"More than ten thousand years… Are you the legendary Eternal God?"

"They say that if one's lifespan exceeds ten thousand years, they reach the realm of the gods. We never imagined that such a being would appear before us!"

"Senior, we've been blind and foolish. Please forgive our disrespect!"

Yukika had only hinted at this fact, but it was enough—the Ōtsutsuki clan members were already filling in the blanks on their own.

They now believed Yukika was a centuries-old monster, on the same level as their ancestors.

With that logic, everything made perfect sense. Yukika must have had ties with their ancestors, which explained why she and Qiongqi seemed to move as one.

Whatever the truth was, it no longer mattered. The Ōtsutsuki were convinced now, fully accepting Yukika as a godlike figure akin to their own forebears.

Seeing their awed faces and hearing their respectful words, Yukika knew they had swallowed the bait.

She asked calmly, "A hundred years from now, how do you plan to leave this native planet?"

And then she added, "I'm quite interested in space travel, so I hope you won't keep any secrets from me."

Upon hearing Yukika's question, the Ōtsutsuki clan members all nodded respectfully.

Their leader then explained, "For someone like you, Senior, a world-class powerhouse, traveling the stars wouldn't require any outside help. But we are not so fortunate—we must rely on an interstellar teleportation array!"

Interstellar teleportation array…

Yukika silently memorized the name.
