Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 802: I'm here to kill you!
Chapter 802: I'm here to kill you!
"The Purple Gold Gourd finally shows some changes too."
Chen Huaian looked at the gourd in his hand, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
This thing was said to be able to help Taotie repair its Demonic Soul, but all it had ever shown so far was the function of a refining demon bottle. Now, seeing half of the Muscle Tyrant's Demonic Soul being refined from the other Fierce Beasts' demon souls, he was still quite gratified.
"Only three Demon Sealing Pagodas left."
Chen Huaian stood up, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes.
He exhaled softly, his breath long and deep.
Chenghuang had not bestowed upon him any Divine Abilities or cultivation techniques. The enhancement it gave him was simple and brutal. Besides his strength advancing from the mid Unity stage to the late Unity stage, he also gained a long lifespan—as for exactly how long, Chenghuang's answer was: as long as heaven and earth.
It seemed like the combat power boost wasn't that great.
But if you could outlive everyone, wouldn't that make you number one under heaven? Wasn't that a kind of improvement in itself?...
Chen Huaian walked out of the Demon Sealing Pagoda. The original valley had vanished without a trace, replaced by a desolate plain. The ground looked as if it had been struck by meteors, pockmarked with large and small craters everywhere. Among them, one deep pit was especially massive, staring up at the sky like an abyss.
He could sense the aura of Chen Niu's avatar gradually dissipating within that deep pit.
Above the deep pit, Lin Fan floated, riding his sword, with a dense array of flying sword magical instruments floating behind him.
Seeing Chen Huaian come out, Lin Fan instinctively wanted to call out "Ancestor," but Chen Huaian stopped him with a look beforehand.
Chen Niu was dealt with, but the war to seize the Celestial Jade Marrow wasn't over yet!
Lin Fan understood the hint and pretended not to see Chen Huaian. He turned and flew directly to the place where the Celestial Jade Marrow was being born. Right next to the crystalline clusters, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in meditation. Those flying swords clinked and clattered as they fell in a circle around him, like a Sword Tomb.
The surrounding Ascenders watched Lin Fan sitting there meditating, not daring to make a sound.
What was the difference between this and just swapping out the boss?
Chen Niu was dead, and now came someone even harder to deal with than Chen Niu.
Not only was he harder to deal with, but he had also taken all their precious swords!
Everyone looked eagerly at Hua Jin the True One. Now it was up to her to see if she had any plans.
Chen Huaian also returned to Hua Jin the True One's side.
"Mission accomplished, I didn't disgrace the task," he said with a light smile. "Opening one Well of Heaven felt like no pressure at all. The Fierce Beasts inside were cute, very reasonable. I can go open another one right away."
Hua Jin the True One: "..."
"Probably only a master like Senior Chen could say the Fierce Beasts are cute," she sighed. "Otherwise, even for someone like me, facing the Fierce Beasts in the Demon Sealing Pagodas would be extremely dangerous...
Chen Niu gathered four Demon Sealing Pagodas here. It could have gone to hunt those Fierce Beasts itself, absorb their demon souls, and increase its power. The reason it didn't was simply because it wasn't confident."
Speaking of this, Hua Jin the True One couldn't help but sigh again.
"But now a bigger trouble has appeared. That Sword Cultivator's strength is terrifying. It's obvious he has no intention of letting the Celestial Jade Marrow that will be born later be released for us to snatch."
Chen Huaian thought Hua Jin the True One was going to ask him to help deal with Lin Fan. In that case, he would just put on a show of not being able to defeat Lin Fan, and then Zhang Mengchu would make his entrance. With those two guarding the left and right like door gods, who would dare reach out for the Celestial Jade Marrow?
Unexpectedly, Hua Jin the True One put on a solemn face and said, "Senior Chen, I don't know if these variables have any designs on the Fierce Beasts in the Demon Sealing Pagodas.
But for now, their target is only the Celestial Jade Marrow. So, I must ask you to take advantage of this time to open the Wells of Heaven one after another. The speed must be fast. Only when the Wells of Heaven are opened will the cultivation limit of this realm be broken, and my strength will rise along with it."
Hua Jin the True One clenched her fist.
Just now, when Chen Huaian opened the sixth Well of Heaven, her cultivation had already climbed to the peak of the Void Shattering realm, just one step away from the Harmony stage. If he opened more Wells of Heaven, she could enter the Harmony stage. At that time, perhaps she could spar with that Sword Cultivator.
Seeing Hua Jin the True One's eager, itching-to-try expression, Chen Huaian couldn't help but find it amusing.
He understood Hua Jin's thinking.
Unfortunately, even if Hua Jin entered the Harmony stage, dealing with Lin Fan would be a tall order.
Not to mention, there was still Zhang Mengchu who was squatting somewhere doing who knows what?
"Alright," he nodded in agreement. "This Venerable One will go now."
His own goal was originally to fuse with the Fierce Beasts and receive the Auspicious Beast inheritance to enhance his strength. Opening the Wells of Heaven was a side task. Hua Jin the True One's request coincidentally aligned with his objective.
"Thank you for your understanding," Hua Jin the True One's tense expression eased slightly. "If I can snatch a few more premium Celestial Jade Marrows this time, I will definitely set aside a few for you separately."
"Haha, that's easy to say." Chen Huaian chuckled and flew on his sword towards the seventh Demon Sealing Pagoda.
Lin Fan noticed Chen Huaian's movement but merely raised an eyebrow slightly, pretending not to see.
In his heart, he cursed Zhang Mengchu, that troublemaker. At the critical moment, his True Essence was depleted and he messed up. Now, the ancestor had to enter those black towers to fight by himself.
...
At the same time.
Earth Star, Immortal Realm.
The backlash from Chen Niu's avatar being slain and its Divine Soul annihilated, layered with the heavy pressure from the Heavenly Dao caused by forcibly devouring the Earth Veins, struck like two heavy hammers smashing onto its true body in the Immortal Realm!
"Pfft—!"
Within the immortal dwelling, Chen Niu's massive true body—a flood dragon body with an ox head—suddenly convulsed violently. It spat out a mouthful of dark golden origin Vital Essence. Its aura visibly withered at a rapid pace. The brilliant immortal light surrounding it dimmed by several degrees, and its scales lost their luster. The barriers of its realm fluctuated violently before irreversibly dropping by one minor level!
Pain and weakness surged over it like a tide, but an even crazier flame burned within its huge ox eyes.
"The sixth... Well of Heaven is open..." it panted, sensing the subtle fluctuations transmitted from the Lower Realm. "The channel... can withstand a bit more power now..."
Although it was now wounded upon wounds, this was the Immortal Realm, its cave dwelling. In theory, it was absolutely safe. For the sake of His Lordship's plan, this sacrifice... was worth it!
"I'll risk it all!" it roared lowly. Ignoring the injury to its origin, it forcibly activated a secret technique once more, tearing off another wisp of its origin demon soul and Vital Essence, this time even stronger. Mixed with Immortal Essence, it painstakingly constructed a new, more powerful avatar projection, preparing to descend upon Earth Star again.
Just as it was exerting all its power, at the moment when the fluctuations of its demonic power were most intense and its mind was most concentrated—
A shadow silently spread out from the dark corner of its cave dwelling.
Chen Niu's massive body stiffened abruptly. Its instinct as a powerful Demon Immortal made it sense an extremely subtle, dangerous chill. It whirled its head around!
When it clearly saw the familiar figure covered in pitch-black scales slowly emerging from the shadows, its taut heartstrings instantly relaxed, even carrying a trace of impatience: "Wu E? Is that you? Why aren't you guarding your own territory? What are you suddenly doing in my cave dwelling? Can't you see I'm in the middle of..."
Its words cut off abruptly.
Because the approaching Wu E did not bow obsequiously or answer as usual.
Instead, it walked silently, step by step, to the side and rear of Chen Niu's massive body—a blind spot where its vision and immortal senses were slightly dulled due to performing the secret technique and its injuries.
The unease that Chen Niu had just let go of suddenly swelled in its heart: "You..."
*Thwump—!!!*
Before a single sentence could be uttered, a giant claw covered in pitch-black mucus, with nails sharp as hooks, shot out from behind with lightning speed. It brutally pierced through Chen Niu's body, whose defenses were greatly reduced due to weakness, and accurately crushed the heart that was still pumping its origin to maintain the avatar's cohesion!
Chen Niu's huge ox eyes instantly widened to their limits, filled with extreme shock, agony, and disbelief!
With great difficulty, it twisted its head to look at the expressionless face of Wu E behind it.
Wu E's face now held none of its usual deference and dullness, only a sheet of icy Killing Intent and a trace of twisted pleasure.
It leaned close to Chen Niu's ear, its voice hoarse and low, carrying a viper-like chill:
"Dear brother... what do you think I came here to do?"
Its claw twisted violently!
"Of course... to take your life."
