Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 750: Nirvana Rebirth

Chapter 750: Nirvana Rebirth

"Huh? Dead?"

Chen Niu found it somewhat hard to believe.

Had the variable, whom he had been locked in a battle of wits and courage with for so long, really been crushed to death by him just like that?

But the solid, tangible sensation in his hand didn't feel fake.

It had been squeezed into meat paste, how could that be false?

"Dead is dead then..." Chen Niu shook off the meat paste and bloody water from his hand — even if the variable was dead, he could still perform Soul Searching and obtain the information he wanted.

Chen Niu spread his arms wide, casting the Soul Searching technique to capture the souls dispersing within a hundred-mile radius.

Normally in such situations, the soul of a newly deceased person, especially one who died right in front of him, would be captured instantly.

"What's going on?!" Chen Niu wore a face full of confusion. It couldn't be that the other party's soul fled a hundred miles away the instant he died, could it?

He would have definitely sensed such a powerful Escape Technique, but just now, there was nothing.

"Right." Chen Niu's gaze swept around.

He remembered that Sword Cultivators used swords, but after crushing the Sword Cultivator, he hadn't seen the Sword Cultivator's treasures. This was a very abnormal situation.

He had crushed the other party to death, not burned him to death with fire or used some divine ability to erase him into dust.

Therefore, the Storage Ring, flying swords, and other treasures on this Sword Cultivator's body should definitely have been left behind.

Yet, searching left and right...

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Apart from a pool of crushed, mangled flesh and a shattered mask, the Sword Cultivator left not a single shred of evidence of his death.

"Damn it!" Even if Chen Niu was slow to react, he finally snapped out of it: "I've been tricked! That variable isn't dead!"

"The other party must have executed some kind of highly sophisticated feigned death technique, instantly switching between his True Form and False Body.

To the point where when I crushed him, I thought I had crushed his True Form, while his True Form had long since fled... How cunning!"

Chen Niu clenched his fists, grinding his teeth.

So what did his entire ambush outside amount to?

Drawing water with a bamboo basket — an utterly futile effort. The chance to kill the variable was gone, and in the end, he gained nothing.

"No, I can't just give up like this." Chen Niu shook his head, rallying his spirits anew.

Even if it was some kind of superb escape technique, the distance between the True Form and the False Body couldn't be far.

Which meant the variable's True Form was definitely still nearby.

Executing such a powerful substitution technique would also inevitably come at a certain cost.

Otherwise, if he could just use this divine ability whenever he encountered danger, who could ever kill this variable?

Chen Niu refused to believe it.

The rule of heaven and earth is that you must lose something to gain something.

Right now, that variable's True Form was either weakened or severely injured, probably hiding somewhere with his aura concealed. As long as he thoroughly searched the entire Shenlongjia, he might just be able to dig out the variable's hiding place.

With this thought, Chen Niu wasted no more time. He immediately soared into the air and launched a carpet search of the entire Shenlongjia.

He could also drive the demon beasts of Shenlongjia into a frenzy, inciting a beast rampage, further increasing the likelihood of the variable slipping up.

...

Top floor of the Demon Sealing Pagoda.

Chen Huaian's figure materialized amidst raging flames.

He opened his eyes, looked around, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Damn, that Chen Niu is really fierce..." Recalling the scene just now, he still felt a lingering fear.

He knew Chen Niu would definitely send a stronger avatar, but he hadn't expected this avatar to be so much more powerful than the last one.

Before, Chen Niu's mastery of gravity-based divine abilities could only be considered passable.

Now, this avatar's control over gravity had already touched the edge of the "Dao."

It was evident that Chen Niu's true form must be a Demon Immortal who had completely mastered the rules of gravity. In this aspect, the strength of Chen Niu's true form was perhaps on par with the True Immortals of the Cangyun Realm, with not too great a disparity.

It would come down to which side had a purer mastery of the 'Dao.'

At that point, a struggle for the authority over a certain 'Dao' would occur.

Whoever could seize the authority would be able to better manipulate the rules.

The side that lost the authority would be completely no match for the other, only fit to be beaten until they fled with their tail between their legs.

Chen Huaian had never seen a True Immortal from the Cangyun Realm, nor had he seen Chen Niu's true form.

How the same Dao principles from two different worlds would be allocated, he wasn't too clear either.

But since the ordinary cultivators of the Cangyun Realm were stronger than those of Earth Star, the True Immortals should be stronger too...

Setting aside these scattered thoughts.

Chen Huaian looked at his body gradually reforming within the Phoenix Fire and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Truly worthy of being a divine ability named Nirvana, it is indeed formidable!"

This Nirvana divine ability had no concept of True Form and False Body at all.

What Chen Niu had crushed to death was indeed his True Form.

But as long as he had left a seed of Phoenix Fire somewhere,

the instant he died, his flesh and soul would simultaneously be reborn from that seed, and the treasures he carried would not be lost.

The seed couldn't be too far from the place of death. With his mid-stage Unity Realm strength, the seed would only activate within one kilometer.

And during the rebirth, his aura would not leak out either.

Perhaps the only drawback was the current state.

During the Nirvana rebirth, his body couldn't move. Only after his physical body was completely repaired by the Phoenix Fire could he act.

Therefore, when sensing danger, he just needed to leave the seed in a safe place in advance.

"Chen Niu definitely wouldn't expect that This Venerable One is still inside the Demon Sealing Pagoda, would he?"

The corner of his mouth lifted slightly. Taking the initiative to attack was precisely to lure away the Chen Niu guarding outside the Demon Sealing Pagoda.

Nirvana rebirth didn't leak aura. Even if Chen Niu saw through the feigned death, he would definitely still be searching the world for him.

He most likely wouldn't search the Demon Sealing Pagoda.

He was indeed gambling.

Betting on reverse psychology.

However, to be safe, once Chen Huaian waited for his arms to be successfully repaired, he immediately took out the VR Headset and put it on.

Going to the Cangyun Realm to repair his body — he didn't believe he could still be caught by Chen Niu there!

And once the time limit for the Sect Summoning Token arrived,

it would be his moment to turn the tables.
