Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 973: The Sea of Chaos

..."What kind of lowly insect dares to appear?"

Chen Huaian's eyes darkened as he raised a hand and pushed upward.

Boom—!

The sky-obscuring dragon claw descended but could not advance another inch half a meter above his head.

A silvery-white Sword Curtain blocked the dragon claw.

A shockwave centered between the two forces and spread outward, warping space for an instant.

Time seemed to freeze.

In the next second, the entire Sea God Temple crumbled into pieces.

The deities closest to the shockwave had their physical bodies instantly pulverized into dust, leaving only their Divine Souls frantically fleeing. Even a Chief God as powerful as Poseidon was sent flying, vomiting copious amounts of blood.

"It's… it's the Golden Dragon King!"

A thousand *zhang* away, Poseidon stood up with the support of Eve and Hades, his eyes filled with terror as he stared at the torn sky above.

Within that dark rift, a cold, golden dragon eye brimming with killing intent gazed down upon everything. With a *crack*, the sky was torn open further like fragile cloth, and another dragon claw emerged from within.

The Golden Dragon King had truly arrived!

He hadn't expected him to come so quickly!

He had already considered it. The deities governed the Laws of the Canglan Realm. With Chen Huaian having slain so many deities, the once orderly system of Laws was now in complete disarray. How could the Golden Dragon King fail to notice?

He just hadn't expected the Golden Dragon King to arrive this fast!

"Let's go!"

Poseidon clutched his chest, another trickle of blood escaping the corner of his mouth.

This was no longer a battle they could get involved in.

Merely the shockwave from Chen Huaian's clash with the Golden Dragon King was something he couldn't withstand.

Staying here any longer would be seeking death, wouldn't it?

He urged Eve and Hades, and also shouted at the surrounding deities, "Get out of here! Now! Take my daughter! The farther the better! Prepare for the worst!"

Chen Huaian glanced at the Endless Sea, now a complete mess due to the clash between him and the Golden Dragon King, and then saw his little disciple being led away by Eve, looking back with every step.

This wouldn't do.

*Snap* He snapped his fingers.

Divine power surged within him, and the power of the Law of Time wildly poured forth.

An illusory clock phantom slowly unfurled beneath his feet.

As the hour hand reversed, the entire sea area seemed to rewind. The churning seawater and the shattered Sea God Temple were all restored to their original state in an instant.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the center of the clock.

Chen Huaian's hand and the Golden Dragon King's descending dragon claw.

Their figures became blurred within the Law of Time, and the shockwave seemed to be sealed within time itself, ceasing its rampage outward.

...

"You… you've actually mastered the Law of Time?"

Rage churned within the Golden Dragon King's vertical pupils, but even more prominent was sheer astonishment.

As the supreme being of the Canglan Realm.

The Laws of Time and Space of this world were under its dominion.

Yet, despite exhausting countless eons, it could only manage to slightly manipulate the flow of time.

It was absolutely impossible to reverse the time of an entire sea area with such casual ease as the being before it.

Even the shattered temple was restored perfectly, down to the last detail.

Chen Huaian lightly flicked his fingertips, raised his eyes to look at the golden dragon spanning the sky, and curled the corner of his mouth into an indifferent smile. "This Venerable One has mastered far more than that."

"This place is too cramped to fight properly—"

The Chaos flying sword hummed softly in his palm, the swirling galaxy and black hole on its blade shifting constantly. "Come, come, come! This Venerable One will take you to a fun place!"

Chen Huaian didn't wait for the Golden Dragon King's answer.

Nor did he have any intention of waiting for it.

He was stating a fact, not negotiating. The Golden Dragon King had no right to refuse.

*Screech—!*

A sword cry rang out.

The Chaos flying sword suddenly erupted with a strand of sword light. This light wasn't aimed at the Golden Dragon King, but shot straight upward, cleaving through the fundamental Boundary Wall of the Canglan Realm with a single slash!

Under Chen Huaian's Sword Intent.

The world's Barrier was torn open like paper, ripped apart to create a fissure that spanned heaven and earth.

Beyond the fissure was a boundless expanse of chaotic void currents.

The churning Chaos energy within could even devour light and grind down Laws.

After accomplishing this.

Chen Huaian's figure flashed, and he was already standing atop the Golden Dragon King's head.

The clock phantom enveloped the Golden Dragon King, and the hour hand abruptly stopped.

Such an action was nothing short of a blatant provocation to the Golden Dragon King!

"How dare you!" The Golden Dragon King roared in extreme fury, "ROAR—!"

It opened its maw and unleashed a torrent of golden dragon breath infused with the essence of the Canglan Realm.

Its ten-thousand-*zhang* dragon body violently thrashed, attempting to shred Chen Huaian's space-time confinement.

Yet, its movements appeared as slow as if frozen in Chen Huaian's eyes.

The world's authority that the Golden Dragon King took such pride in couldn't even raise a single ripple before Chen Huaian's power as a Chaos Golden Immortal.

Chen Huaian gripped the dragon horn with his other hand, and Chaos Immortal Power surged violently along the horn, directly sealing off all the Meridians and the foundational essence within the Golden Dragon King's entire body.

Before the Golden Dragon King could unleash a second roar.

He had already dragged the Golden Dragon King's massive form and crashed directly into that Chaos rift.

*Rumble—*

The Boundary Wall fissure instantly closed behind the Golden Dragon King, not even allowing a single wisp of Chaos energy to leak back into the Canglan Realm.

Before the Sea God Temple.

The various gods who had been suffocating under the oppressive might suddenly felt a lightness wash over them.

Looking up, the sky had already returned to normal, as if that world-shattering confrontation had never occurred.

"This… they're gone just like that?" Poseidon clutched his chest, looking at the now empty sky, his back already soaked through with cold sweat.

"His Excellency the Sage has his own arrangements." Bai Ze elegantly flicked her mane, her pale golden eyes sweeping over the trembling deities present. Her tone was calm yet carried a sharp edge. "Gentlemen, the Sage left an order before departing. The old order of the Canglan Realm is due for a reckoning."

The White Tiger could no longer restrain himself. His sharp claws extended as he took a step forward.

The Black Tortoise, Dang Kang, and Chenghuang all moved simultaneously.

Various Law powers unfurled at once, completely sealing off the entire Sea God Temple, leaving no path of escape.

Poor deities, thinking they might have a sliver of hope once Chen Huaian and the Golden Dragon King left.

Little did they know—

From the moment Poseidon brought them here.

They had already become the stepping stones for Chen Huaian's advancement.

...

At the same time.

Amidst a wave of dizziness, the Golden Dragon King finally regained its senses.

The Law of Time that had bound its body had vanished, but before it could even sigh in relief, it was terrified to its core by the sight before it, its entire body trembling.

A boundless, gray expanse stretched as far as the eye could see.

The churning black mist currents brushed past its dragon scales, instantly grinding away its defenses. Even its internal world essence was rapidly draining away.

The Canglan Realm's Laws it took such pride in were completely nonexistent here, as if they had never existed.

It exerted all its strength to spread its Divine Sense, wanting to contact the deities of the Canglan Realm, wanting to send a message to the Silver Dragon King.

Yet, that Divine Sense, powerful enough to cover the entire Canglan Realm, was devoured clean by the Chaos currents the moment it extended less than a hundred *zhang* out.

This was a place the Golden Dragon King had never been to, a place it could not comprehend.

Boundless.

It could not see the path it came from, nor could it see where the end lay.

Only an endless expanse of darkness.

In this world, it was no longer the lofty Golden Dragon King, but a mere speck of dust, an ant.

"Wha… what is this place?!" The Golden Dragon King's voice held unmistakable fear for the first time.

"The Sea of Chaos."

A cold voice sounded from behind.
