Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 745: The Egg at the Center of the World

Chapter 745: The Egg at the Center of the World

…

In the end, this fight still didn't happen.

Seeing that Taowu had the intention to make a move, Chen Huaian hurriedly released his little brother Qiongqi.

Both were Fierce Beasts. Although they were definitely the type who couldn't stand the sight of each other in ancient times, after experiencing so many cycles of reincarnation, they had long since become the firmest of allies, as solid as could be.

With Qiongqi acting as a distraction, Chen Huaian directly circled behind Taowu, pressed the Purple Gold Bottle against Taowu's buttocks, and gave it a shove.

"Capture!"

Taowu didn't even have time to react before it was swallowed whole into the Purple Gold Bottle.

"Hehehe!" Chen Huaian put Qiongqi back inside as well, grinning widely. "Truly, success comes without the slightest effort~ You just recuperate properly in there!"

The corner of Chen Huaian's mouth twitched upward as he put away the Purple Gold Bottle, turning a blind eye to the complaints.

The Fierce Beast was dealt with. Shouldn't the auspicious beast now invite him up for tea?

However, Chen Huaian waited in place for a long time and received no summons from the auspicious beast.

This Demon Sealing Pagoda wasn't guarded by the physical shells of auspicious beasts like the Azure Dragon or Vermilion Bird either. After thoroughly searching the entire lower level, apart from the demonic beasts gradually recovering from their frenzied state, he didn't see any other trace of demonic beasts...

"What's going on here? Could something have happened to the auspicious beast of this Demon Sealing Pagoda?"

Chen Huaian scratched his head. He was worried about the auspicious beast's safety but had no way to reach the upper level of the pagoda.

Asking Taowu was useless; the guy actually replied in an innocent tone, "Huh? There are auspicious beasts inside the Demon Sealing Pagoda? There's an upper level besides the lower one? I've been in this pagoda for so long and never knew about any of the things you're talking about!"

Hearing Taowu say this, Chen Huaian knew there was no point in asking further.

Apart from the entrance, there were no other doors or portals in the lower level of the Demon Sealing Pagoda, not even hidden ones.

In the end, Chen Huaian stopped before the half-open Well of Heaven.

If there was anything that could be considered a door besides the pagoda's exit, it was probably only this half-open Well of Heaven before his eyes.

The Well of Heaven was a place that spewed out Spiritual Energy. No matter how he thought about it, it couldn't possibly be a door.

But after eliminating all the correct answers, the most impossible answer might just be the answer.

"Anyway, if something goes wrong, this Venerable One can always retreat back to the Cangyun Realm to take refuge."

Chen Huaian stared at the Well of Heaven shimmering with Spiritual Energy radiance before him, closed his eyes, steeled his heart, and plunged headfirst into it.

…

At the same time, outside the Demon Sealing Pagoda.

The sky suddenly darkened.

A churning mass of gray-black demonic clouds, like an overturned inkwell, tore through the gloomy sky. Carrying a suffocating pressure, it instantly enveloped the area where the Fifth Demon Sealing Pagoda was located.

From within the demonic clouds, a massive, ferocious figure crashed down with a boom. Its heavy force caused the ground to tremble violently, kicking up a circle of dust.

Chen Niu's flood dragon-like body coiled around a stone pillar outside the Demon Sealing Pagoda. The few colorful rooster feathers on its chin were particularly glaring in the dim light. Its enormous vertical pupils burned with eerie green ghost-fire, like two searchlights, sweeping coldly and vigilantly over the area around the pagoda.

Under Chen Niu's terrifying aura, the demonic creatures surrounding the pagoda retreated one after another. Some, already too frightened to move, stood stupidly in place, trembling.

"Hmm?! Something's wrong!"

Chen Niu narrowed its eyes.

This situation wasn't right.

Previously, the two Demon Sealing Pagodas at Shenlongjia were both under the responsibility of the Great Thunder Temple.

It clearly remembered the general situation of these two pagodas.

The guardian of one pagoda was Qiongqi, and the guardian of the other was Taowu.

After experiencing many cycles of reincarnation, the strength of these Fierce Beasts had long been weakened to rock bottom, and now they could only guard the Wells of Heaven.

The pagoda guarded by Qiongqi wasn't particularly special; it just had the remnant corpse of the White Tiger, causing the pagoda to be permeated with killing intent.

The abnormal situation at the pagoda guarded by Taowu, however, was very obvious. Because Taowu possessed the supernatural ability to manipulate the temperament of living beings, the demonic beasts around the pagoda it guarded were generally in a frenzied state. This frenzy was not affected by any aura pressure.

In other words, even if it, a Demon Immortal avatar, descended before these demonic beasts, it would be attacked by them.

But now, these demonic beasts didn't have their previous ferocious and menacing appearance at all.

That could only mean one thing.

Taowu was already dead!

Taowu's Fierce Beast Demonic Soul was definitely gone too!

It couldn't possibly be that Taowu, who had been vicious for thousands of years, suddenly changed its nature and made all the demonic beasts under its command turn into good little dogs, could it?

Anyway, Chen Niu didn't believe it.

"Damn it! Has Taowu been taken care of too? Then now there are only four Fierce Beast Demonic Souls left for Wu E to absorb…"

Chen Niu felt anxious in its heart, but it wasn't completely sure of the situation yet.

It casually grabbed a nearby demonic beast, and a terrifying surge of demonic power instantly poured into the beast's body.

The demonic beast was almost instantly dissolved into dust by Chen Niu's immense demonic power.

And Chen Niu extracted the information it wanted from the beast's memories.

Someone had entered the Demon Sealing Pagoda, a Sword Cultivator wearing a white mask.

The cultivator's face was indistinct, exactly the same 'variable' that had killed its previous avatar!

However, Chen Niu didn't care much about this information.

What it cared about more, and what made it ecstatic, was that this Sword Cultivator had just entered the pagoda not long ago and hadn't come out yet!

The space inside the Demon Sealing Pagoda was completely sealed; it was impossible to tear space to exit from within.

In other words, to get out of the pagoda, one could only use the entrance!

It clearly remembered the orders its main body had given it: either capture alive, or kill.

And the opportunity was right before its eyes!

"Should I follow it into the pagoda?"

This thought had just arisen when it rejected it itself.

The environment inside the Demon Sealing Pagoda was unpredictable. Entering it might actually make it lose track of that Sword Cultivator.

But as long as it guarded the outside of the pagoda, that Sword Cultivator could only come out through the main entrance.

Anyone with half a brain would know which option to choose, right?

"Hmph! I'll wait here today and see when you come out!"

Chen Niu narrowed its eyes, feeling greatly reassured.

Its coiled flood dragon body on the stone pillar gradually faded, merging with the surrounding environment. Its terrifying demonic aura also quickly receded into nothingness.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the group of demonic beasts that had been intimidated by Chen Niu's aura began patrolling around the pagoda again.

Their eyes were dull, with a trace of confusion deep within.

They were searching for Chen Niu's traces.

Yet they completely failed to notice Chen Niu's massive body right above their heads. After using its supernatural ability, Chen Niu's presence had completely vanished.

Even if they looked up, in their eyes, Chen Niu's body was just ordinary mountain rock.

…

"So, the way to the upper level of the Demon Sealing Pagoda really is the Well of Heaven?"

Chen Huaian gazed at the world before his eyes, as if soaked in light.

Unlike the lower level permeated with Demonic Energy, the entire upper level was filled with an aura of auspiciousness.

However, the upper level of this Demon Sealing Pagoda was still different from the others. It was hot here!

As far as the eye could see, there were churning flames.

The ground was flowing rivers of lava, and countless golden sparks danced in the air. Scorching heat waves distorted the view, and every breath carried a burning sting. The entire world was ablaze, without a single impurity, only flames of the purest, most extreme intensity.

He stood at the edge of this world of fire.

And at the very center of that boundless sea of fire, at the core of the most blinding, heat that seemed capable of melting everything—

An egg hovered.

A giant egg, crimson all over, as if carved from the purest red jade.

…

Sorting out the plot, taking a leave.
