Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 994: Cannot Analyze, Cannot Counter!

...
With a single sword strike, he erased the Abyssal Plane and annihilated the demon civilization outright.
Chen Huaian had his selfish motives too.
—If absorbing the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm alone had made him this powerful, then refining the Heavenly Daos of a few more worlds would launch him straight to the heavens, wouldn't it?
But then...
Things didn't go as nicely as he'd hoped.
Because although the Abyssal Plane had a Heavenly Dao, it wasn't complete at all.
Unlike the Canglan Realm's Heavenly Dao, which could manifest a tangible form within the Sea of Chaos, the Heavenly Dao of the Abyssal Plane was as if it had only just been born, having never taken shape.
The moment his sword strike smashed down, it was destroyed along with everything else before he could absorb it.
Chen Huaian was thoroughly frustrated by this.So he immediately retracted his Heavenly Calculation and scoured the cosmos outside the Canglan World, finding fragments of a mechanical civilization.
"Heaven's Calculation!"
The winds and clouds of the Canglan Realm shifted violently.
Poseidon hugged his wife and daughter, trembling in fear.
A golden Thunder Eye slowly began to take shape above the mechanical planet.
Chen Huaian sized up this planet and realized it could no longer be called a world at all—it was fundamentally a massive star body constructed entirely of machinery. The interior of this star had been hollowed out, with every usable resource completely exhausted.
Water, soil, plants, life... none of it existed.
What kept this mechanical civilization running was actually cosmic radiation.
A Heavenly Dao didn't exist here either.
Or rather, this world had originally possessed a Heavenly Dao, but as the mechanical beings subjected it to extreme transformation and destruction, the Heavenly Dao ultimately withered and died.
The deathly aura of that primordial decay was so strong that Chen Huaian could smell it even from tens of thousands of light-years away.
And he finally understood why the Heavenly Dao of the Abyssal Plane shattered at the slightest touch.
In simple terms.
The Abyssal Plane's Heavenly Dao was also half-dead.
The world the Abyssal Demons called home was similarly riddled with holes and drained of resources.
Compared to the mechanical civilization, the only advantage was that the Abyssal Plane at least still had life in the form of demons, still retaining the rule of "procreation and survival."
The mechanical civilization had completely abandoned reproduction, leaving only technological manufacturing behind.
"No wonder they charge around like mad dogs, invading everywhere—turns out they smashed their own cooking pot and have nothing left to cook."
Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes, and within the golden Thunder Eye hovering above the mechanical star, a sharp Sword Light began to churn and surge.
"A world that can't even protect its own heritage and only knows how to take, taking, taking—is nothing but a heap of scrap metal in the end!"
"A civilization that only knows plunder is nothing but a locust plague poisoning the universe. It has no right to exist!"
The moment a Heavenly Dao Sage shifts a single thought, it affects the Destiny Energy of the entire world.
When these killing intentions surfaced in Chen Huaian's mind...
A chilling sensation of mechanical dread washed over every mechanical being.
Wooooo—!
On the surface of this metallic star, dead silence was shattered by the sudden blare of alarms.
Countless flashes of scarlet light, like blood vessels, rapidly crawled across the entire steel surface of the planet.
Facing that golden Thunder Eye suspended upside-down in the starry sky, completely defying the laws of physics...
The mechanical civilization's super star brain, buried deep at the planet's core and arrogantly claiming flawless calculation, went into overdrive.
[Level One Civilization Extinction Alert, activated. Highest-Level Defense Protocol, initiated.]
Accompanied by the flat, mechanical synthesized voice, tens of thousands of planet-killer main cannons, each as thick as a mountain, slowly rose from beneath the steel crust.
Deep-blue anti-matter energy light frantically converged at the cannon muzzles, all locking onto the golden Thunder Eye above.
But at this moment, the star brain's underlying logic fell into chaos.
It pushed its computing power to the absolute limit, attempting to analyze the energy level within the Thunder Eye.
[Target Energy Assessment: Catastrophic Level... Stellar Level... Galactic Level...]
[Warning! Warning! Energy threshold exceeds calculation limit...]
[Logic conflict, physical laws do not match...]
[Final Verdict: Cannot Analyze, Cannot Counter!]
And in those few short breaths while the star brain was trapped in a logic dead loop...
The Sword Intent accumulating within the Thunder Eye above had already been tempered to its peak.
The next second.
Boom—!
A sword light as pale as snow instantly condensed, then transformed into a colossal Great Dao pillar, hurtling down from the Thunder Eye.
When this pillar of light descended, it carried an overbearing arrogance: "All laws are void, only my sword remains."
It treated the planet-level energy shield, which was supposedly capable of withstanding supernova explosions, as nothing and simply bored straight through it!
Crack—!
The moment the energy barrier shattered.
The pale sword light shot in from the planet's North Pole and pierced out through the South Pole.
Then, the golden Thunder Eye above merely shifted its gaze slightly.
This silver-white sword pillar, which had pierced through the entire star, swept horizontally.
Chii—
With a sound that made one's scalp go numb.
This massive, enormous steel planet was ruthlessly sliced in two at a diagonal angle by that sword light.
And the super star brain, buried deep in the planet's core, controlling the lifeblood of the entire civilization...
It didn't even have time to back up its data before it was shattered inch by inch under the crushing Sword Intent, turning to dust!
With the star brain lost and its energy core gone, the metallic star, already trembling from the residual shockwaves of the sword energy, finally collapsed.
A silent explosion detonated from within the star, blinding light instantly devouring the fractured metal landscape.
When the light faded, what was left of the mechanical planet?
Nothing but a field of lifeless cosmic dust, aimlessly drifting through the cold void of space.
Having done all this, Chen Huaian wearily withdrew the Heavenly Dao's Eye.
That wisp of Divine Sense, which had traveled across worlds, dissipated and returned to the Canglan World.
...
First annihilating the Abyss, then destroying the mechanical civilization—two consecutive strikes, both empowered by the Dao Patterns of the Canglan Realm.
Chen Huaian had already tested their power.
As his thoughts turned back, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he had fought Taishang Laojun.
Back then, facing the Laojun's supreme Divine Ability called the "Heaven and Earth Millstone," Chen Huaian felt as if he were looking at flowers through a fog. He couldn't discern its depth or details at all. He only knew that Majestic, Heaven-like Might was so unreasonable that it was almost maddening—heavy as a thousand jun, crushing the breath out of him, and extremely difficult to withstand.
But now, standing on a higher peak, having firmly planted himself on this summit, and looking back to carefully savor that taste again...
Chen Huaian couldn't help but curl his lip, revealing a blatant sneer.
What bullshit Heaven and Earth Millstone!
When it came down to it, it was nothing more than Taishang Laojun, relying on his Sage-level cultivation and methods, using the Earth Star's Heavenly Dao power to suppress him.
If you really got down to it, this "Heaven and Earth Millstone" Divine Ability couldn't even compare to the "Canglan Sword Strike" he had just used on the Abyssal Plane and the mechanical civilization.
One was still operating within the framework of the Heavenly Dao, borrowing power to strike.
The other was transcending the Heavenly Dao, acting without restraint.
The vast chasm between them—did it even need explaining?
"If This Venerable One were to meet that Taishang Laojun again now and cross swords with him..."
Chen Huaian stroked his chin, a flicker of coldness flashing in his eyes.
What need for a bitter struggle or protracted battle?
He only needed to deliver one strike—the sword that spoke the entire Great Dao of the Canglan Realm.
And that would be enough to make that lofty Dao Lord's knees go weak, forcing him to kneel and listen to Chen Huaian's lecture!
