Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 803: Settling the Score

Chapter 803: Settling the Score

...

Chen Niu stared in disbelief at the claws and fangs that had pierced through his heart.

He looked up at Wu E, as if trying to see if Wu E was some other Demon Immortal in disguise. Yet, Wu E was unmistakably Wu E. They were brothers of the same womb; Chen Niu was all too familiar with Wu E's aura.

"Why..."

His strength and vitality were rapidly draining away.

Wu E was frantically devouring his power. A pitch-black, ink-like demonic energy surged over him like a raging tidal wave. He had never felt so helpless before.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already dispatched three avatars to the Lower Realm, and each one had been slain. His strength had fallen to its current pitiful state, leaving him utterly powerless against Wu E's suppression.

When it came down to it—he had never imagined Wu E would betray him.

"Improper thoughts?!" Chen Niu was dumbfounded, even briefly ignoring the agony wracking his body. "When have I ever harbored improper thoughts about you?!"

"Avatars represent the thoughts of the main body, am I correct?" Wu E's claws twisted and churned within Chen Niu's chest, devouring his power and soul as he spoke in a sinister, insinuating tone. "Although our avatars are independent individuals, they inherit the will and thoughts of our main bodies. You cannot deny this!"

Chen Niu nodded with great difficulty.

That was indeed true.

But what did that have to do with improper thoughts?

He was male.

Wu E was also male.

What the hell was there to think about?

Seeing Chen Niu's utterly bewildered expression, Wu E directly poured a segment of memory into Chen Niu's mind.

This memory was what he had captured from his own avatar.

The unsightly, unbearable scene that played out in his mind plunged Chen Niu into silence.

After a long while, he finally spoke with a strained voice, "Th-this is impossible! Is this real? Why didn't my avatar report this..."

"They all wanted to hide it, why would they report it to you? What it did to my avatar, would it dare tell you?" Wu E sneered coldly, his eyes blazing with fury. "Chen Niu, oh Chen Niu, through countless cycles of reincarnation, your strength hasn't improved much, but your tastes have grown increasingly perverted! I thought you were only interested in those little dragons and shrimps. I never imagined you wouldn't even spare your own blood brother! Your very existence is a disgrace to me!"

Chen Niu couldn't fathom that this was something his own avatar had done.

"There must be some misunderstanding here. My avatar's condition was very abnormal at the time..."

"No need to explain. You're finished." Wu E retracted his sharp claws, looking coldly at the once-overbearing Chen Niu, now withered and collapsed on the ground. "Elder Brother, the achievements you can obtain, I can obtain as well. And those you cannot obtain, I can still obtain them.

You have stood above me for far, far too long. So long that the great ones of the Celestial God Clan can't even see my existence.

But starting from this cycle of reincarnation, your era is completely over."

"What are you planning to do..." Chen Niu watched Wu E's departing back, his voice hoarse and strained. "When the Wells of Heaven open simultaneously, although the passage between heaven and earth opens, the rules of heaven and earth are not yet fully stabilized. At this time, the entire Earth Star is extremely fragile! If you dare to use your True Form, you'll cause a catastrophe!"

"None of your business." Wu E snorted coldly, enveloped in pitch-black demonic energy as he completely vanished from the cave dwelling.

And Chen Niu's life gradually entered its final countdown.

He did not fear death.

As long as the great ones of the Celestial God Clan still had a use for him, he would be reborn and awaken within the rules of heaven and earth in the next cycle of reincarnation.

He knew Wu E was reckless in his actions, and a sense of foreboding had already taken root in his heart.

But it was too late. He didn't even have the strength left to report to the great ones of the Celestial God Clan.

...

Freed from worries about the rear, Chen Huaian's speed in conquering the Demon Sealing Pagodas suddenly accelerated.

Entering directly, he would release the aura of the Dragon Soul to declare his identity.

And ever since the four Demon Sealing Pagodas had been relocated by Chen Niu using Divine Abilities and magical artifacts, the ancient Fierce Beasts and Auspicious Beasts within had all made their preparations.

Originally two sides that would never interact, both now waited quietly for Chen Huaian's arrival on the topmost floors of the Demon Sealing Pagodas.

Simultaneously, the trials originally prepared for the Dragon Soul inheritor were almost completely eliminated to save time.

In the seventh Demon Sealing Pagoda, Chen Huaian encountered the Physical Shell of the Auspicious Beast, the Black Tortoise, and the Fierce Beast, the Bi Fang. The Bi Fang simply tried to burn Chen Huaian, but Chen Huaian had already inherited the bloodline of the Phoenix. Although the Bi Fang was peerless in the use of fire among Fierce Beasts, how could it possibly be a match for the Phoenix?

The man and the Fierce Beast exchanged a bout of fire. Chen Huaian emerged completely unscathed, while the Bi Fang was thoroughly burned into a blackened bird.

In the end, it too entered the Purple Gold Gourd, where part of the Taotie's soul within its Demonic Soul fused with the Divine Soul of Muscle Tyrant, which was on the verge of recovery.

As for the Auspicious Beast of this Demon Sealing Pagoda, it was the Physical Shell of the Black Tortoise.

Chen Huaian used a Celestial-grade pill, refined according to the pill formula bestowed by the Qilin, to help the Black Tortoise revive. Upon hearing the experiences of the White Tiger and the Qilin, the Black Tortoise immediately performed a sacrificial ritual, bestowing upon Chen Huaian a terrifying defensive power as heavy and immovable as a mountain range. With this, Chen Huaian's cultivation level had already been elevated to the peak of the Unity stage.

The seventh Well of Heaven opened.

BOOM—!

Pure Spiritual Energy shot into the sky. With two Wells of Heaven opening consecutively in the same location, the concentration of Spiritual Energy here had become so dense it had liquefied.

Many Ascenders who had originally come just to make up numbers, to help Hua Jin and Chen Huaian secure the perimeter and seize the Celestial Jade Marrow, now felt this was a heaven-sent opportunity. They immediately sat cross-legged in meditation to cultivate, seizing this rare chance to absorb Spiritual Energy and elevate their cultivation.

And Hua Jin the True One, who had been silently meditating, also opened her eyes the moment the seventh Well of Heaven opened.

Pop—!

A sound like a thin film shattering resonated from within Hua Jin the True One's body.

A terrifying pressure spread out like ripples on water.

A faint light glimmered in Hua Jin the True One's eyes. Her plain white robes fluttered without any wind. The upper limit of power that had been suppressed within her body day after day by the rules of heaven and earth was finally released and unsealed at this moment. The explosively increased True Essence and the hyperactivity of every cell in her body made her unable to resist letting out a clear, resonant cry like a crane.

At this moment, the highest cultivation level achievable on Earth Star was elevated from the peak of Void Shattering to the peak of the Harmony stage.

Simultaneously, this was also her current realm.

"Excellent! Senior Chen! You've done excellently!"

Hua Jin the True One clenched her fist, raising her gaze to look at the towering pillar of Spiritual Energy light, her eyes filled with gratitude.

She withdrew her gaze, looking towards the center of the abyss ahead, where a Sword Cultivator sat cross-legged in mid-air, surrounded by a rotating myriad of swords. Her killing intent surged.

"Back then, you kicked me aside like a stray dog. Today, I have broken through to the Harmony stage. New debts and old, we'll settle them together!"

With these words, Hua Jin the True One was about to draw her sword, but suddenly remembered that her sword had already been confiscated by that Sword Cultivator.

This made her even more furious and humiliated. Yet, she no longer insisted on needing a weapon. Instead, she thrust her palm forward, stirring up a gale.

True Essence gathered in her palm, forming a mass that bloomed forward like a tidal wave, transforming into a colossal cyan jade hand that slammed down mercilessly towards the meditating Lin Fan.

With this single palm strike, heaven and earth trembled.
