Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 866: Sun and moon turn; stars grind.

"You wretched beast! How dare you?!"

Taishang Laojun's beard quivered in fury as he beheld Chen Huaian butchering immortals like mere dogs.

His Law Manifestation stood unrefined, rendering his motions rigid. Divine Abilities deployed with the Flat Crutch left no swift recovery if it missed its mark.

Chen Huaian slithered just like a loach—slippery beyond grasp and seemingly impossible to slay.

His furious glare locked on Chen Huaian, Flat Crutch raised in his grip, poised to smash down but held in check.

A strike would ensnare Ninth Heaven immortals in its path, likely crushing them alongside the foe.

Refusing the strike meant standing idle as Chen Huaian massacred the gathered immortals.

Chen Huaian utterly disregarded Taishang Laojun's pursuits and roars.Unless it posed a fatal threat, he refused to dodge, channeling every bit of focus toward the immortals.

Even as his back turned into a gory mess from blows, the sword in his hand swung relentlessly, lopping off heads of immortals scrambling ahead.

Trading wounds for lives.

Such a bargain he could sustain.

This realm's Turbid Qi, lethal poison to gods and immortals, served as his vital sustenance.

Yet these gods and immortals could not endure it!

"Ahhh! Old Lord, save me!!"

"Your Majesty, save us!!"

Screams reverberated across the Ninth Heaven.

The once solemn and grand Celestial Court morphed instantly into a gruesome slaughterhouse.

Immortal blood painted the cloud sea scarlet, while severed limbs and arms plummeted like pouring rain.

"Useless trash! Lingxiao Palace raised you over ten thousand years through a hundred full reincarnation cycles, yet you fail to halt even one mere Immortal King!"

"Bastards!!"

Taishang Laojun raged uncontrollably, but he could not bring himself to shatter his colossal Law Manifestation.

Cumbersome though it seemed, this Law Manifestation bore the closest resemblance to one wielded by a mighty figure of the Celestial God Clan.

Drawing nearer to that Celestial God Clan powerhouse might someday enable him to break free from reincarnation's cycle like them, seizing true command over his fate.

He burned with anger at the Lingxiao immortals' chaotic disarray.

He seethed too that he, a revered Sage, proved unable to halt an "ant" in its murderous spree.

Chen Huaian proved far too elusive.

Skulking behind immortals as shields, he darted through the crowd, forcing the Old Lord to hesitate over friendly losses.

A berserk slaughter rampage.

Suddenly, Chen Huaian came to a halt.

By this point, he had cleaved through immortal formations to claim a foothold on the Ninth Heaven.

He faced the core emblem of Lingxiao Palace's might—the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Before him towered the golden, radiant, imposing hall that lorded over the Three Realms.

Within, from behind the beaded curtain, Haotian Emperor fixed a piercing stare upon him.

"This is the Celestial Court?"

Drenched head to toe in blood, Chen Huaian left a carpet of corpses trailing behind.

Scorn blazed in his eyes as he eyed the plaque bearing the four gilded characters "Lingxiao Treasure Hall."

"A bunch of parasites hiding in their shells."

"Worthy of being called Heaven?"

Seizing his sword in a two-handed grip, Chen Huaian thrust it high above his head.

His Immortal King origin power, the Heavenly Demon's slaughter intent, and Ancestral Dragon bloodline merged into a titanic surge, flooding unbound into the Chaos Divine Sword.

The sword blade ballooned to ten thousand zhang.

Gray Sword Qi lanced unyieldingly toward the firmament.

"Watch closely, all of you!"

Chen Huaian loomed tall, his proclamation thundering across the Three Realms.

"This sword..."

"This Venerable One will break your backbone!"

Boom!

The massive sword plunged down, sapping all hue from heaven and earth.

Its target lay not on lives, but the hall itself.

Taishang Laojun lunged to intercept, arriving a critical step too late.

Rip—

Down crashed the sword.

The world abruptly drained of all color.

No sword glow flashed, no blade howl rang.

Merely an expanse of gray.

As though an invisible titan's hand clutched a chaos-inked brush, ruthlessly slashing a streak over the Three Realms' opulent golden canvas.

That streak obliterated light, obliterated color, and obliterated the era-spanning Destiny Energy enshrined in Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Rumble—!!!

The palace embodying Celestial Court's paramount splendor.

Severed from its midst.

With flawless precision.

Cleaved into twin halves.

Glazed tiles in countless numbers exploded apart, the golden plaque fractured and tumbled, slamming into the earth amid billowing dust clouds.

In that very instant.

The Celestial Court's backbone lay shattered.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"It's over! It's all over!!"

"Lingxiao Hall has collapsed!!"

The immortals utterly broke down.

High in the heavens, Haotian Emperor floated like a scorching sun, his countenance shadowed behind the veil, crimson-gold gaze overflowing with murderous aura.

Though Chen Huaian hadn't slain numerous immortals, his deeds had utterly humiliated Lingxiao Palace, rubbing its prestige into the dust.

"Old Lord! What are you still waiting for?!"

Haotian Emperor glared at the colossal Law Manifestation. "Kill him now!!"

"Great Immortal, please eliminate this demon!" Innumerable immortals prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing repeatedly and imploring the massive Law Manifestation to deliver them.

Taishang Laojun hovered aloft, gazing upon the partially ruined Lingxiao Hall, the strewn corpses across the earth, and the immortals on their knees begging for compassion.

Upon that enormous visage, the rage slowly faded away.

In its place emerged apathy, a deathly stillness.

Fine, fine, fine!

Impossible to slay him.

The harder one attempts to end him, the wilder he grows.

"Had enough fun?"

The Old Lord's tone was exceedingly gentle.

Chen Huaian spun around sharply.

He watched as the Old Lord stowed the Flat Crutch, his Law Manifestation contracting, reverting to the elderly figure clad in the Eight Trigrams Daoist robe.

The Law Manifestation.

He discarded it.

A new one could be cultivated anytime, yet this Sword Cultivator had to be suppressed right now!

"Your bones truly resist breaking."

The Old Lord's fingers deftly shaped a mudra.

"If they refuse to shatter, refuse to die..."

"Then this old Daoist shall switch tactics."

"Heaven and earth as the furnace, yin and yang as the blaze, Fortune as the artisan."

The Old Lord swept his spacious sleeve.

"Fix."

Hum—!

Space froze solid.

This surpassed mere immortal arts; it embodied the Dao.

Winds halted, clouds halted.

Chen Huaian froze in his sword grip stance, his form no longer under his control.

"You old..." Words formed in his mind, yet his mouth refused to part.

"Killing you proves far too merciful."

The Old Lord eyed him with icy detachment, like a gnat encased in amber.

"This Venerable One shall pulverize your Chaos bones grain by grain into dust, then forge them into a pill."

So saying.

The Old Lord lifted his palm toward the vast heaven and earth, then clapped them shut.

"Close."

Boom—

The firmament and ground quaked.

Chen Huaian glanced skyward, witnessing the Nine Heavens descending.

And below his feet, the vast Earth Star realm surged upward.

Sinking and rising appeared sluggish, but that deceived the eyes alone.

Heavenly and earthly forces relentlessly compacted, akin to walls inching together, narrowing his room to exist.

At once, sun and moon, once hanging outside the cosmos, now manifested side by side overhead, morphing into golden and silver colossal "Formation Cores."

The countless stars above lost their sparkle, yanked instead by an horrifying colossal force,

forming the thick, jammed "teeth" of a millstone meant to pulverize everything.

This constituted a Heavenly Formation.

A Formation of Annihilation.

A Sage wielded ultimate magical prowess to compel this stretch of heaven and earth into a—[Great Millstone].

Heaven served as cover, earth as foundation.

Sun and moon as axles, stars as grinders.

Yin yang inverted, heaven earth flipped.

Chen Huaian faced the array like a leaf adrift on waves, a flame dancing in breeze.

One tiny push, and total obliteration awaited!

"Rise."

The Old Lord's apathetic command echoed once more.

Creak—

The cosmic axis warped, Great Dao Laws howled in torment.

The enormous heaven-earth millstones commenced... counter-rotation!

Chen Huaian positioned squarely amid the twin millstones, sword thrust high. Sage pressure pinned him fast, yet his spine stayed unbowed.

[WARNING!!!]

His sight pulsed from brightness to shadow.

The Electronic Girlfriend System blared nonstop warnings, its panel drenched in scarlet.

Qingran's storyline tomorrow.
