Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 968: Inviting the Gods into the Urn

...

The various gods stared at Chen Huaian with completely bewildered expressions.

After a brief silence, the God of Light, Augustus, said with a cold face, "Poseidon, what do you mean by this? Didn't you say you had your Divine Power Origin here? What's with this mortal just sitting there?"

Poseidon smiled a thin, insincere smile. "My Divine Power Origin is right on this person. Can't you all sense it?"

The various gods exchanged glances.

They were already deities; how could they possibly fail to sense a Divine Power Origin?

The person before them was just an utterly ordinary mortal, without a trace of divine power to speak of.

Was Poseidon just calling them here to make fools of them?

"Poseidon, if you want to cede divine authority, then do it properly. If you don't want to give it up, then don't. We only came because we heard you were willing to relinquish power!"

Facing the accusations from the various gods, Poseidon merely smiled without saying a word.

Looking at Poseidon's utterly punchable expression, Augustus finally couldn't contain his rage any longer.

Who was he?

One of the five Chief Gods of the Canglan Divine Realm, wielder of the Authority of Light. Even Poseidon usually gave him some deference. When had he ever been toyed with like this?

The greed that had been stirred up earlier now completely transformed into vicious hostility.

"Divine Power Origin is on him?"

Augustus sneered coldly. Golden radiance surged wildly around his body, filling the entire secret chamber with blinding light.

The gods beside him staggered back to avoid being burned by the scattered divine light energy.

In the next instant, Augustus took a step forward, his right hand forming a grasping motion in the air.

*Hum—!*

A holy sword of light condensed in the void.

Divine Artifact—Light's Exultation!

With a gentle swing, this divine artifact, wrapped in blazing divine light, descended straight toward Chen Huaian's head.

"Let me see just what kind of Divine Power Origin this is, that it would dare trouble Lord Sea God to set up such a grand scheme to deceive us!"

This sword strike condensed seventy percent of Augustus's divine power.

He hadn't placed this mortal in his eyes to begin with.

This attack was merely about crushing this ant first, exposing Poseidon's lie, and then settling the final score with Poseidon.

Even though it was just a casual strike, to the surrounding gods, it already represented immense pressure.

They could almost foresee it—in the next moment, this mortal would be reduced to ashes, both soul and body, under the divine light energy.

What excuse could Poseidon possibly find then?

But just as the blade was about to touch the white hair on the mortal's forehead...

The motionless, seated mortal suddenly opened his eyes.

*Shing—!*

A sword hum echoed.

Two strands of clear, cold, razor-sharp Sword Qi shot out from those eyes as still as ancient wells, piercing through the air.

The Sword Qi was impossibly fast, so fast that even Augustus couldn't react in time.

He only felt the light he commanded shatter in an instant before his eyes.

Vision vanished at that moment.

It wasn't simply falling into darkness.

It was a void more terrifying than deathly stillness!

—His pair of divine eyes, before those two strands of Sword Qi, were actually as thin as a sheet of paper!

"Ahhh—!"

A heart-rending, agonized scream suddenly exploded within the secret chamber.

Augustus staggered backward, his hands desperately clutching his eyes. Golden divine blood gushed from between his fingers, dripping onto the cold floor.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding deities were utterly stunned.

For a fleeting moment, they even wondered if Augustus was just acting.

"You! What kind of being are you?!"

Augustus's voice trembled uncontrollably, as waves of excruciating pain and terror drowned him.

He frantically urged his divine power, trying to repair his shattered divine eyes.

But that pervasive, invasive Sword Qi was like maggots in the bone. No matter how his divine light energy washed over it, it remained firmly lodged deep within his Divine Soul.

Even his Chief God divine spark cracked with fine, dense fissures!

Chen Huaian stood up.

His white robes were spotless, and his full head of pale hair floated around him, stirred by the Sword Qi rising from his body.

He simply stood there, yet his figure seemed to merge with the surrounding space.

Or perhaps, he himself was the sharpest sword in this world.

He raised his hand.

*Shing—!*

A clear, crisp sword hum suddenly rang out in the void.

The sword hum was formless and intangible, yet it sent chills rising from the depths of every deity's Divine Soul present.

"Slash."

With that single word uttered.

Sword Radiance, invisible to the naked eye, shot forth from Chen Huaian's fingertip.

Although he had lost his sight, Augustus still possessed his intuition for danger.

If he didn't block this attack, he might very well perish here today.

"God says—let there be light!" He raised his finger, frantically urging his divine power. Twelve layers of divine light shields instantly erected before him.

"God says—let there be exultation!"

As his words fell, a play of light and shadow manifested behind him.

The phantom of a temple bathed in holy light appeared out of thin air—it was clearly his Divine Kingdom of Light.

The singing of angels echoed incessantly, and sacred radiance filled the sky and earth, attempting to dispel the cold gleam within that sword light.

"Divine Kingdom? Hah!"

Chen Huaian scoffed disdainfully.

This so-called Divine Kingdom was merely an advanced version of the domains used by Canglan and Earth Star cultivators, still far inferior to the miniature worlds condensed by those at the Void Shattering realm.

"Scarecrows and paper tigers!"

Before his Sword Dao, everything in the world that was deemed unbreakable could be severed.

Divine Kingdom?

It could be severed too!

Where the sword light passed, the twelve layers of divine shields shattered layer by layer like paper.

The projection of the Divine Kingdom of Light was split open by a single sword stroke. Even those singing angels were annihilated within the sword light.

Augustus exerted every ounce of his strength trying to dodge, but that sword light seemed to have eyes, firmly locking onto the source of his divine body.

With a muffled *thud*.

The sword light directly pierced through Augustus's chest, nailing his entire body to the stone wall behind him.

His divine body was nearly shattered by this sword strike. Golden divine blood splattered across the entire wall. Even his Chief God divine spark was slashed by the Sword Qi, leaving a deep, bone-deep crack. His vast divine light energy poured out like floodwaters through an opened sluice gate.

Augustus, one of the five Chief Gods, the exalted God of Light, was now pinned to the stone wall like a dead dog.

He didn't even have the strength to struggle, only continuous, agonized groans spilling from his throat.

The entire secret chamber was deathly silent.

The various gods who had come with Augustus stared wide-eyed, their throats seemingly choked by something, making even breathing difficult.

One sword...

Just one sword had severely wounded the God of Light, one of the Chief Gods.

This... this was no mortal!

This was a monster!

"A trap! It's a trap!!"

Augustus mustered the last shred of his strength, roaring hoarsely:

"Run! All of you, run!! Go inform His Majesty the Golden Dragon God!"

These words were like a thunderclap, instantly jolting the various gods back to their senses.

Poseidon had actually hidden such a monster in this secret chamber.

And he had specifically brought them here. What good intentions could he possibly have?

Moreover, now even Augustus was severely wounded...

Fear crawled up the spines of the various gods.

No one knew who was the first to run.

The moment footsteps sounded.

These deities frantically activated their divine power. Multicolored divine lights bloomed within the secret chamber as they desperately tried to escape this damned place.

"Trying to run?"

Chen Huaian snorted coldly, his figure flying back to the center of the secret chamber. He formed sword seals with his hands, divine light blazing in his eyes.

"Nine Revolutions Heavenly Profound Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!

For This Venerable One, activate—!"
