Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 798: The Variable Has Arrived

Chapter 798: The Variable Has Arrived

…

"The variable should appear now!"

Chen Niu narrowed his eyes, his Divine Sense spreading out like a vast sea. The oppressive Demonic Energy, like a tangible black tide, plunged all creatures it touched into darkness.

"Such an evil and terrifying aura…" The Pope of the Sanctuary looked at Chen Niu coiled in the center as if facing a formidable enemy.

She had once faced an extremely powerful opponent—the fallen angel Lucifer. That battle, which lasted half a month, established her ruling position in the European region.

Yet, even Lucifer was far from possessing the level of evil aura emanating from this dragon-shaped creature.

"Your Holiness, should we make the first move to snatch it?" Albert's expression was grim.

Before Chen Niu had released his full aura, Albert already considered him troublesome. Now, facing Chen Niu with his aura completely unleashed, even with the creed of bravery and fearlessness, Albert felt a momentary urge to retreat in that instant.

Under her white ribbon, her pale golden eyes faintly shimmered with holy light, perceiving Chen Niu's Divine Sense spreading in all directions.

"It seems to be searching for something… as if looking for someone…"

"If the speculation is correct, these four towers and the crystalline clusters at their center birthing the treasure are likely bait it set up…

It created such a huge commotion just to find a certain person or group of people."

"So we can still make the first move to snatch it?!" Albert's eyes lit up. "That way, our only opponent is that Eastern woman. She seems to be the leader of that faction. With your help, we might actually be able to seize the treasure first."

The Pope didn't speak.

Because she wasn't as optimistic as Albert.

Hua Jin the True One indeed seemed easier to deal with than Chen Niu, but she was definitely not a pushover either.

…

At the very moment that piece of premium Celestial Jade Marrow fully condensed into form and slowly detached from the top of the crystalline cluster—

"Now!"

Hua Jin the True One and Knight Commander Albert both shouted sharply almost simultaneously.

Hua Jin the True One flicked the horsetail whisk in her hand. Thousands of silver threads instantly surged, transforming into a silver rainbow spanning the sky, accurately coiling towards that piece of premium Celestial Jade Marrow, fast as lightning.

Though the attack seemed fierce, she didn't get too close to the Celestial Jade Marrow. She maintained a safe distance the entire time, with part of her Divine Sense covering the surroundings, vigilant.

Hua Jin's thinking was simple: take it if possible, retreat unscathed if not.

On the other side, Albert was different. Although his greatsword was broken, having received the Pope's empowerment once more, holy light boiled around him, condensing into a massive hammer of light imbued with the will of purification and punishment. It smashed fiercely towards the silver rainbow, attempting to block it and seize the opportunity to grab the marrow.

Two powerful experts attacked simultaneously. The shockwave from their energy collision distorted the very space.

However, just a second before their power was about to touch that golden piece of marrow—

A sudden change occurred!

Without any warning, the space directly above the crystalline cluster and the marrow rippled violently, like water.

Immediately after, a blinding white light tore through the void, forming a swirling spatial passage.

A sharp Sword Intent, fierce enough to seemingly sever everything in the world, erupted from within first.

*Clang—!*

The sword's hum was like thunder.

The Sword Qi was like a rainbow.

Then, a white figure shot out from within like a sharp sword, landing steadily beside the crystalline cluster.

The newcomer stood tall and straight, clad in spotless white robes, with handsome features yet carrying an air of arrogance that looked down upon the world.

He held an ancient longsword in one hand. The sword was still sheathed, but the soaring Sword Intent already sent a chill through the hearts of everyone present.

He looked around, surveying the chaotic scene below and the golden marrow within reach. The corner of his mouth lifted into an excited and unruly arc. "Heh heh, what a lively scene! Demonic Energy soaring to the heavens, treasure tempting people, just to my liking! Where is the ancestor? Lin Fan reporting for duty!"

This person was precisely Lin Fan, summoned by Chen Huaian.

Although Chen Huaian was inside the Demon Sealing Pagoda, he could still sense the minute changes in the world's energy outside.

Sensing the birth of the premium Celestial Jade Marrow, he immediately sent Lin Fan down ahead of time.

"The variable!! It's finally here!!!"

Chen Niu, who had been using his Divine Sense to tightly lock onto the entire area, let out a heaven-shaking, earth-quaking roar at this moment.

His massive flood dragon body suddenly reared up. Those ox eyes erupted with the fury and Killing Intent accumulated over several days.

"You junior! Ruining my plans time and again! Today, I will definitely tear you to pieces, settling both new and old scores together!"

Meeting an enemy, eyes turn especially red.

Chen Niu completely ignored the Celestial Jade Marrow within reach.

His sharp claws, covered in bluish-black scales, suddenly lifted. The Earth Vein power within a radius of dozens of miles rumbled in response, madly converging into his claws.

Instantly, wind and clouds changed color, the earth wailed.

Behind Chen Niu, vast Demonic Energy mixed with the Earth Vein's Killing Intent actually condensed into a ferociously roaring, lifelike blood-colored flood dragon phantom.

The phantom emitted a suffocating pressure, as if from an ancient primordial beast. Following Chen Niu's sharp claws, it viciously slammed down towards Lin Fan.

This strike contained the power of heaven and earth.

Before the claw wind arrived, the terrifying pressure had already caused the ground below to crack inch by inch.

"Well met!"

Although Lin Fan sensed Chen Niu's power had surged dramatically, his nature was one of extreme arrogance. How could he retreat?

He immediately sneered, the longsword in his hand abruptly unsheathing.

"Slash!"

An extremely condensed, dazzling Sword Light rose against the sky, meeting that sky-obscuring giant claw and blood-colored dragon phantom head-on without any fancy moves.

*BOOM!!!!!!!!*

Like two meteorites colliding head-on.

A terrifying ring-shaped energy shockwave violently expanded outwards.

Hua Jin the True One and Albert, being the closest, bore the brunt.

Hua Jin the True One's expression changed. Her horsetail whisk instantly retracted to shield her front, the silver threads weaving into a net. Yet, she was still shaken by the violent impact, her blood and energy churning. She staggered, sent flying backwards. When she barely managed to steady herself, her eyes were filled with shock.

Albert, already injured and relying solely on holy light for support, fared even worse. His protective holy light shattered instantly like paper.

As if struck head-on by a battering ram, he spewed blood wildly as he was sent flying backwards, crashing heavily into the ground in the distance. He struggled a few times but couldn't get up immediately, his face filled with disbelief, terror, and despair!—Just a bit of the aftermath nearly took his life?!

At the explosion's epicenter, the Sword Light and claw phantom shattered simultaneously.

Lin Fan's figure staggered back three steps, each step leaving a deep footprint on the hard ground.

The arrogant look on his face slightly receded. The hand holding his sword was slightly numb. For the first time, gravity and surprise appeared in his eyes.

"What formidable power! This wretched beast… how is it so much stronger than before?!"

He clearly felt that the immense power contained within Chen Niu's strike was completely different from before, as if it were two different demons.

And this was just an avatar!

An avatar already made him feel pressure.

Then what about facing the ancestor's true form?

Lin Fan couldn't help but feel his eyes welling up with tears.

Where is there any peaceful time? It's just that the ancestor is carrying the heavy burden forward.

The ancestor is still too great!

…

Meanwhile, at a remote mountain foot far from the central battlefield of the four Demon Sealing Pagodas.

Another spatial ripple quietly rippled open, and Zhang Mengchu's figure stepped out from within.

The moment he landed, he didn't immediately focus on the earth-shattering battle in the distance. Instead, out of habit, he narrowed his eyes, surveying the surrounding environment.

A faint glow swirled in his eyes as his hands quickly performed a few calculations.

"Hmm… The Spiritual Energy here… no, it's the world's energy mixed with Demonic Energy, flowing quite strangely."

He muttered to himself, his gaze following the direction of the Earth Veins. "The Earth Veins have been forcibly twisted and diverted with great force… Tsk, what a grand gesture!

This is… using the four black towers as a foundation, locking the earth's energy, then using the central object as an eye, forcibly constructing a… 'Gathering Killing Intent to Refine Demons Formation'?

No, there's something else mixed in…"

The more he looked, the more astonished his expression became. His fingers calculated faster and faster. Finally, his gaze fixed on Chen Niu coiled in the distance. Sensing the vast power on its body faintly connected to the entire earth, he suddenly understood.

"So that's it! This long worm has some ideas!

Stealing Earth Vein power to empower itself. Within the range of this formation, it can almost mobilize the power of a region of heaven and earth to fight!

No wonder its aura has surged so much… Tsk tsk."

Right at this moment, Lin Fan's voice transmission, carrying a trace of gravity, sounded in his mind—

[Old Ghost Zhang! Where the hell have you been? This Chen Niu isn't right! Its power has exploded! There's something strange about this place!]

Hearing this, Zhang Mengchu wasn't anxious. The corner of his mouth lifted into a smug, all-under-control sneer, leisurely replying, "What's the rush?

Crazy Lin, you play with it nicely for now. Getting beaten up a bit doesn't matter!

Wait for this old man to employ some methods, break this 'momentum' it borrowed, and see how it can still act arrogantly!

I'll make this long worm show its true form soon!"
