Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 800: Devouring the Earth

Chapter 800: Devouring the Earth

Wherever these spiritual energy threads passed, the earth vein energy that had been contaminated into a dark red by Chen Niu's demonic power seemed to have encountered its nemesis. It began to violently fluctuate and contract, emitting a low, rumbling roar like a subterranean dragon turning over.

The ground trembled slightly, even affecting the stability of the distant battlefield.

The phantom image of the blood-colored flood dragon that Chen Niu had formed using the earth veins also shook along with it, becoming less solid than before.

Chen Niu, who was currently engaged in battle with Lin Fan, clearly noticed the anomaly in the earth veins.

Its eyes narrowed, a chill ran down its spine, and it immediately tried to disengage to find the cause.

However, Lin Fan, covered in blood, had already intercepted it first.

"Kekekeke—" Despite being covered in wounds, Lin Fan showed no signs of weakness. In fact, the aura around him was still rising, his fighting spirit boiling: "Where do you think you're going? Your opponent is This Venerable One! You're not going anywhere until you've finished fighting This Venerable One!"

"Condense—!" With a low shout.

These were all flying swords bestowed upon him by the ancestor.

Normally, he was frugal, unwilling to easily expend the flying swords gifted by the ancestor. But seeing Chen Niu's combat power was so ferocious, he had no other choice.

Previously, the ancestor had also told him that after the flying swords were used up, he should use Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect, and there would be a surprise.

Although he didn't know why the ancestor said that—after all, he had seen the weapons used by Earth Star cultivators, and to be honest, those things couldn't even be called swords.

He preferred to call them fire pokers.

But...

"The ancestor's words are the heavens!"

Flying swords hovered behind Lin Fan. He pointed his finger like a sword at Chen Niu, and amidst surging Sword Intent, the flying swords behind him, wrapped in a gale, shot towards Chen Niu like swift thunder.

"Kneel before This Venerable One!"

"Damn it!" Chen Niu recognized Lin Fan's aura and had experienced the power of Explosive Sword.

It desperately wanted to see who was tampering with the earth veins, but at this moment, it had no choice but to seriously deal with the incoming flying swords.

"Must end this quickly!" It reached into the blood-colored dragon qi and grabbed, a wisp of dragon qi entering its body. A burst of blood mist exploded from its entire form, as if it couldn't withstand that earth vein energy. It let out a pained roar, but ultimately held on. Its muscles bulged all over, and its aura abruptly soared.

The first flying sword came too fast.

It directly used its physical body to block.

With a 'BOOM!' of a deafening explosion, flesh and sword fragments flew.

But Chen Niu managed to withstand it, at least.

...

On the other side, above Zhang Mengchu's head, a complex array diagram of interwoven light and shadow had materialized at some point.

What was depicted on it was precisely the great formation currently constituted by the earth veins.

The diagram slowly rotated, with countless runes within it flickering in and out of existence.

On the diagram, several key nodes were being illuminated one by one by the spiritual seals Zhang Mengchu was casting using his sword finger. These illuminated nodes were not enhancing the formation but rather acting as blockages.

He seemed to be hunched over, fiddling around cluelessly, but in reality, he was using himself as a conduit to commune with heaven and earth, performing an extremely profound reverse engineering of the earth vein formation.

The posture was awkward, but the effect was undiminished.

"Huh, this is..." Chenghuang was the first to notice something amiss, a flash of surprise in its narrow eyes.

"This person... can actually analyze and disturb the earth veins in such a manner? His understanding of formations has already been perfected to the extreme!"

Hou also retracted its look of disdain. Its fierce head leaned forward slightly, carefully sensing the energy fluctuations transmitted from the mirror surface, its voice growing several degrees more solemn: "He's using the formation in reverse, extracting the contaminated earth vein energy, then injecting True Essence to erode the formation cores. Using the small to leverage the large, gradually infiltrating them...

He's 'mixing sand' into Chen Niu's magic formation!

Once he erodes all the formation cores and shatters them in one go, the 'momentum' Chen Niu borrowed will instantly collapse and backlash!"

"Hiss—! This is a talent!" Chenghuang looked at Chen Huaian, a flash of shock and confusion in its eyes. "Dragon Soul inheritor, where did you find such a formidable formation cultivator?

The orthodox traditions on Earth Star have long been fragmented through countless cycles of reincarnation.

Nowadays, almost all cultivation texts are controlled by the Celestial God Clan and their lackeys. Such a formation cultivator shouldn't be born there."

"That sword cultivator fighting Chen Niu isn't right either." Hou narrowed its eyes, pondering inwardly.

Whether it's the formation cultivator or the sword cultivator, they're both strange. They don't seem like Earth Star cultivators.

"That's a long story." Chen Huaian smiled mysteriously. "Anyway, you just need to know they can help buy time. Chen Niu might not even be Lin Fan's match. It would be even better if Lin Fan can slay Chen Niu's avatar. If he can't, it doesn't affect This Venerable One's plan, nor does it affect Taotie's revival."

Before the words even faded, within the mirror surface, Zhang Mengchu seemed to have finally found the key point.

He abruptly straightened up, patted the dust off his hands, a sinister smile appearing on his face as he sent a voice transmission towards the direction of Lin Fan's fierce battle:

"Madman Lin! Hold on for ten more breaths!

This old man will make this long worm taste the flavor of earth vein backlash!"

As soon as the words fell, he slammed both hands onto the ground!

The formation cores he had eroded within the formation activated simultaneously at this moment.

BOOM!!!

The entire earth seemed to awaken at this moment!

Several silvery-white light pillars shot into the sky from the formation cores he had previously eroded, intertwining to form a towering giant sword engraved with a Yin-Yang Fish, which slashed towards the blood-colored dragon qi above Chen Niu's head.

"ROAR—!"

The dragon qi let out a furious roar, the countless blood threads connecting it to Chen Niu snapping one by one.

But its struggle was utterly futile.

The formation cores had long been eroded. The effect on it manifested as countless silvery-white chains drilling out from within the blood energy, completely restraining it.

This sword strike was fundamentally unavoidable.

"NO—!"

Chen Niu's eyes widened with fury, but it could only watch helplessly as the dragon qi it had painstakingly gathered using the earth veins was shattered into two pieces by that sword.

The blood dragon wailed, the blood energy about to return to the earth veins, as if it would scatter with a gust of wind.

"Mountain-Moving Seal! Suppress!"

In a flash, Chen Niu swiftly summoned a jade seal-like magic seal.

Its sharp claws formed seals rapidly before its chest, not even pausing despite facing Lin Fan's Explosive Sword attacks.

In the end, the blood-colored dragon qi was partially intercepted by the Mountain-Moving Seal, winding on the ground like a small snake, barely clinging to life.

But for Chen Niu, it was enough.

"This Venerable One originally did not wish to use this technique. Devouring earth veins harms the natural order. This Venerable One's true body will inevitably be affected, but..."

Chen Niu glared viciously at Lin Fan: "You variables, jumping around before This Venerable One time and again, do you truly think This Venerable One cannot deal with you?

Since the decision has been made today to use a secret technique, then none of you shall think of leaving!"

As the words fell, a look of resolve and madness flashed in Chen Niu's eyes.

It abruptly opened its bloody maw, lunged towards the ground, and took a fierce, sucking breath towards that wisp of earth vein dragon qi on the ground.

"GULP—!"

"ARGHHHH—!!!"

The next second, Chen Niu let out a howl of agony so extreme it pierced the soul.

Its body violently expanded like an inflating balloon.

The blue-black scales covering its body exploded one after another, revealing the frantically writhing flesh and blood beneath!

Thick, twisted bone spikes, shimmering with a sinister dark red light, violently burst out from its spine and joints, emitting a teeth-grating "CRACK" sound.

Even more terrifying, its flood dragon form seemed unable to fully contain this vast earth vein power it had forcibly devoured. Huge tumors continuously bulged on its skin surface, as if magma flowed within, ready to burst open at any moment.

Dark red blood mist mixed with out-of-control earth vein Killing Intent gushed out from the cracks all over its body, staining the area around it in a chaotic, filthy haze.

Its aura climbed frantically in an extremely abnormal, nearly self-destructive manner.

The originally powerful pressure now became like an abyss, pressing down on Hua Jin the True One, who was watching from afar, and Albert, who had just gotten up, almost suffocating them.

Even the ferociously attacking Lin Fan felt his movements stall, his face showing a look of horror for the first time.

The earth, with Chen Niu at the center, began to crack and collapse over a large area, as if the energy underground had been forcibly drained and devoured by it.

The entire valley encircled by the Demon Sealing Pagodas shook violently, as if doomsday had descended.

"Madness! It's gone mad! Forcibly devouring earth veins, its true body will inevitably suffer severe damage, possibly even fall in realm!"

Inside the Demon Sealing Pagoda, Chenghuang cried out in disbelief, its eyes filled with incredulity.

Chen Niu is a Demon Immortal, and its status in the Immortal Realm is not low. It was actually willing to go this far.

It showed how determined it was!

Hou's expression was also extremely grave: "But the power it has gained at this moment is real... Although brief and with endless future troubles, it is enough to crush everyone present!"

"No time to waste." Chenghuang looked anxiously at Chen Huaian: "Dragon Soul inheritor, accept the offering now. While your people can still delay Chen Niu a bit, we must accelerate!"
