Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 993: Two Realms' Causality, One Sword's Reckoning
Previously on Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?...
Chen Huaian had assumed that once his Heavenly Dao's Eye appeared, those Abyssal Demons would be terrified into submission and scatter everywhere, but that was not what actually happened.
Facing the golden thunder eye suspended high in the dome, countless demons in the Abyssal Plane lifted their heads and howled.
These creatures, each more abstract than the last, reeking of sulfur and blood, showed no trace of the awe one should have before majestic Heaven's Might.
What filled their eyes instead was sudden ferocity and madness.
"What a bunch of brainless lunatics..."
Chen Huaian watched coldly through the thunder eye, a kill intent rising in his chest.
Civilizations that only knew invasion and destruction, if left to develop unchecked, would be a calamity to nearby miniature worlds.
If he casually wiped out this demonic plane today, it could count as a lasting merit.
Unfortunately, beyond the Heavenly Dao lay the Sea of Chaos, and the Sea of Chaos would not grant him virtue.
Decision made, a sliver of sword light suddenly condensed deep within that inverted golden Punishing Thunder Eye.This sword was not supported by the newly mastered Canglan Heavenly Dao power; it was merely a casual strike born of his current sword cultivation.
It was not that he was bored and decided to test the demons' strength for fun.
He only needed a control comparison.
Boom—!
A pure, ultimate white sword light, like a silk banner, sliced downward and instantaneously tore through the Abyss's murky veil.
When the sword light struck, heaven and earth trembled, and at the point of impact a massive demonic city—the largest in the Abyss—along with millions of powerful demons, in that instant, as if snow under a scorching sun, was forcibly erased from this scroll of existence.
All that remained on the ground was a bottomless hollow, its cut smooth and mirror-like.
A fierce wind howled through that black hole, issuing a piercing lament that also testified to the sword's keen edge.
Chen Huaian frowned slightly, looking at the effect of the strike, and shook his head faintly, clearly not satisfied.
"Still a bit underwhelming!" he murmured.
The next moment, the golden mark between Chen Huaian's brows flickered.
That immense, abyssal Canglan Heavenly Dao power, like a great river pouring into the sea, thundered into the inverted Punishing Thunder Eye.
Hum—!
The golden thunder eye above the Abyssal Plane swelled violently in that instant, quickly covering nearly half the sky.
Within the thunder eye, golden concentric rings symbolizing Canglan Heavenly Dao power flowed like runes.
Not only thunder roared within; golden Sword Intent churned like a boundless sea.
Each strand of Sword Intent, bolstered by the Heavenly Dao's power, seemed to come alive, slithering through the clouds like dragons and serpents.
Just as this world-shattering pressure reached its peak, the Abyssal Plane finally produced its first responder.
Rip—
A pitch-black rift tore the firmament into being beneath the thunder eye.
Endless waves of Abyssal Demonic Energy billowed forth from the crack.
Amid that churning demonic smoke, a ten-thousand-zhang tall demonic silhouette slowly emerged.
He wore a crown of thorns, a dark armor forged from countless wailing souls clung to his body, and held a pitch-black greatsword wreathed in demonic flames. He was the Abyss's favorite, the absolute sovereign of this world—the Demon God Satan.
Satan raised his huge eyes blazing with dusky crimson phantom fire and stared straight at the golden thunder eye in the dome. His voice rolled like thunder across the plane, shaking the void:
"I am Satan, Lord of the Abyss! No matter what god you are, to dare bring calamity upon my domain will cost a soul eternal wailing! Tell me, arrogant invader, who are you?!"
Satan?
Heh heh!
I'll turn you into a fool in a moment!
Chen Huaian snorted at Satan's challenge, too disdainful to answer, merely looking down with indifference.
The Heavenly Dao's power in the thunder eye continued to accumulate.
It took some time to transmit from the Canglan Realm over here.
Seeing himself ignored, Satan let out an earth-shaking roar.
"False god fallen to the mortal world, taste the Abyss's wrath! The End—Twilight Verdict!"
He suddenly raised his pitch-black greatsword named "Doomsday Plunder."
Hum—!
At that moment, the entire Abyssal Plane's demonic energy went into a frenzy, like subjects answering an emperor's summons.
Behind that ten-thousand-zhang demonic form, an ebony gate slammed open. The seven deadly sins—gluttony, lust, pride, envy, and the rest—poured out in black tides, surging into the greatsword.
The demonic flames on the blade instantly surged, taking on a grotesque, sickly green.
Space itself around them was corroded and warped by that power.
"Die! Invader! You will pay for your provocation! Arooo!" Satan howled, brandishing the greatsword that carried half the Abyss's strength, advancing with a do-or-die, sink-or-swim momentum, and struck up toward the inverted golden Punishing Thunder Eye!
If this strike had fallen upon an ordinary Small Thousand World, it would have split a continent in two.
Where it passed, vast regions of space collapsed into nothingness.
Satan's standing in the Abyss was comparable to the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings in the Canglan World.
In single combat power, he even surpassed the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings.
After all, the entire Abyss answered to him alone.
His power was the pinnacle of destruction and tyranny, and now he was wagering himself and the whole Abyssal Plane on this all-out blow!
It was grand and earth-shattering!
However.
That vast, sickly green sword light, upon colliding with the golden thunder eye's outer perimeter a hundred zhang away, struck an invisible wall.
Bang!
A muffled blast.
Demonic flames collapsed, the black sword light shattered into countless fragments.
The inverted golden Punishing Thunder Eye did not even tremble; it remained cold and suspended in the dome.
No matter how the Abyssal Demonic Energy surged, no matter how monstrous the force you raised...
In that moment.
It faced the law override of a complete Small Thousand World, and the Sword Intent of a Sword Saint!
Not enough, far from enough!
The all-out strike failed to move it an inch, and Satan's face changed drastically.
A majestic voice issued from the golden thunder eye, like heaven and earth enraged.
"Then I will make your death clear!"
"Do you still remember the underlings you sent into the Canglan World?
I am the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm!
You invaded my Canglan World, and I will naturally strike back!"
"If that's all your skill amounts to—" Chen Huaian sneered, "then it's my turn!"
The Heavenly Dao's power between his brows erupted fully, and the inverted golden thunder eye at that moment turned completely transparent.
To Satan's horrified gaze, the thunder eye slowly reflected the scene of an entire world.
It was the Canglan Realm.
Vast mountains and rivers, towering divine temples, countless beings worshipping with reverence.
"This sword is called 'Canglan.' Try it, Abyss!"
Chen Huaian's calm voice sounded deep within Satan's soul.
The next instant, that terrifying sword light, reflecting the visage of a whole world's terrain, poured down.
This strike, pouring in all the rules of a Small Thousand World, crushed everything in its path into the deathly silence of broken laws.
But what shattered was not the Canglan World's rules.
It was the Abyssal Plane's rules.
The Demon King Satan's ten-thousand-zhang demonic body could not even let out a wail; the instant it touched the sword radiance it peeled away and vaporized piece by piece.
This was high-level Heavenly Dao directly erasing lower-order laws.
No matter how arrogant you once were.
Before this weighty heaven-and-earth authority, only dust and ash remain; not even a remnant soul can survive.
The sword light pierced on without hindrance, drilling straight into the Abyssal ground.
Crack—crack—
Crisp shattering sounds echoed throughout the Abyss.
The Abyssal Plane, which had borne countless demons and existed for untold ages, under this single sword, broke like porcelain.
From the point where the blade struck, countless enormous fissures crazily spread, and in moments covered the entire world.
Boom—!!!
With a sound of unwilling lamentation.
The entire Abyssal Plane completely collapsed, turning into innumerable burning meteor fragments scattered across the boundless cosmos.
This sword not only killed Satan, it also cleaved apart all the destiny and rules of that world.
Tit for tat is only proper.
Between two realms' causality, Chen Huaian settled matters with one sword.
