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

Chapter 818: You dare to touch it?

"This Venerable One knows nothing about any Taotie or not."Chen Huaian held his sword horizontally, blocking the wind column that was nurturing Taotie, his expression cold and stern.

"This Venerable One only knows that the black cat I keep is called Muscle Tyrant. So what if it is Taotie? First and foremost, it is Muscle Tyrant, the pet This Venerable One raises. Only then is it Taotie! Whether it has committed sins or not is not for an outsider like you to decide, but for This Venerable One to judge. Want to kill This Venerable One's cat? Then you can certainly try!"

"Arrogant!" Wu E snorted coldly.

He was no weakling like that late-stage Nascent Soul avatar. He had originally thought Chen Huaian had some use, wanting to leave a path open to see if he could be used by the Divine Lord. But now, since this cultivator didn't know what was good for him, he could only be cut down along with Taotie!

"Die for me!" Wu E's crimson eyes suddenly sharpened, and the hundreds-of-zhang-wide bat wings on his back gave a powerful flap.

The wingtips slicing through the air produced a "ripping" sound like tearing cloth—the surface of the North Sea was instantly torn open for a stretch several li long. A wall of waves several zhang high, like a toppled giant mountain, stood straight up, resembling an ink-black water wall suspended in mid-air. Only then did it crash down with a roar, the splashed water mist dense enough to blur visibility several li away.

The purple lightning within the clouds was churned by the black wind, twisting into arm-thick black electric snakes that sizzled and darted wildly through the wind. Upon touching the sea surface, they exploded into black-purple water sprays several zhang high.

"Human cultivator, This Venerable One will now let you witness the gap between immortal and mortal!" Wu E opened his huge maw, spewing forth dark green venom mixed with black wind. "Sky-Corroding Howl!"

In an instant, the black wind increased tenfold. Translucent wind blades floating within the wind sliced through space, leaving fine, fragmented cracks in the air. The cracks glowed with a faint gray light, like wounds gnawed by a giant beast. The nine-headed wind beast phantom condensed at the center of the black wind—each head opened a mouth full of fangs. The wind columns spewed forth during its roars could grind the reefs at the seabed into fine sand. The seawater wasn't just vaporized into mist; it was churned by the wind blades into a sky full of fine, fragmented water droplets, spinning within the black wind like a rainstorm capable of shredding flesh and blood.

The entire North Sea seemed gripped by an invisible hand. Between heaven and earth, only the roar of the wind, the hiss of electric snakes, and the "crashing" sound of seawater being torn apart remained.

The black wind, carrying the wind beast phantom, pounced fiercely. Wherever it passed, space twisted even more violently, even light bending along with it, as if on the verge of complete collapse the next second.

Facing that overwhelming, sky-covering might, Chen Huaian stood firm and fearless. He didn't even blink an eye; he even closed them, only slightly raising the Black Scales Sword in his hand.

"The Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, Three begets... all things!"

Chen Huaian's tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open, two points of sword radiance flashing brilliantly within them.

The first of the secret scrolls—The Dao Begets the One Sword!

Back when he used this sword move, his cultivation was not at the peak of Void Shattering, nor was he on Earth Star, but in the Cangyun Realm.

Heaven and earth's True Essence surged towards Chen Huaian.

The area within a ten-li radius was like an ink painting being washed of its color, instantly leaving only black and white. The earth rumbled, insect chirps and bird calls, the panicked roars of birds and beasts—all gradually disappeared as the painting lost its color.

The sword had not yet been unleashed, yet heaven and earth fell silent.

The sword unleashed, and heaven and earth lost their color!

"Clang——!"

Between heaven and earth, only this sword cry remained.

The sword cry pierced through the howling wind. That black-and-white sword light spanning heaven and earth, like a crack, instantly cleaved through the oncoming black wind. Wherever the sword light passed, the dark green wind blades shattered completely.

The nine-headed wind beast phantom let out a shrill, mournful roar, actually cleaved in two by the sword light, transforming into a sky full of wind fragments that dissipated.

The sword light's momentum did not diminish, directly pressing towards the Demon Immortal Wu E!

Wu E's pupils contracted sharply. He never expected a mere Mortal Realm cultivator could unleash such a terrifying sword move. In haste, he could only block with his bat wings in front of him. The dark golden scales instantly lit up with a layer of faint green light shield.

"Clang——!" The sword light collided with the light shield and wings, producing a deafening, earth-shaking roar. The faint green light shield shattered instantly. Scales on the bat wings splattered. A deep, bone-visible sword scar stretched from the wingtip to the wing root. Dark green blood dripped along the scar, falling onto the sea surface, instantly freezing the seawater into black ice blocks.

This single sword move had actually damaged his Demon Immortal body.

Although he was here via Divine Descent, this was completely different from an avatar.

An avatar, when it came down to it, lacked the blessing of immortal power; it was merely a mortal demon clone with only his Divine Abilities.

But Divine Descent was the genuine descent of immortal power. This was a gap in life's hierarchy.

This sword... could injure an immortal.

If Chen Huaian were allowed to grow further...

Wu E lowered his wings, looking at the sea level cleaved open by Chen Huaian's sword, feeling a chill run down his spine.

This Chen Huaian was a calamity!

He could not be left alive!

"What... what kind of sword move is this?!" Wu E exclaimed, a mix of shock and fury.

Although his Divine Descent body was not severely injured, this sword had still shaken him, causing his qi and blood to churn.

In extreme rage, Wu E no longer held back.

Boom——!

His giant claws clenched in front of him. Countless black wind threads condensed into a wind dragon several dozen zhang long. The wind dragon's body was entwined with fragments of dark golden dragon scales. Opening its huge maw, it bit towards Chen Huaian.

Seeing the wind dragon roaring towards him, Chen Huaian only felt the True Essence within his body nearing exhaustion—The Dao Begets the One Sword had consumed seventy to eighty percent of his True Essence. Now, wanting to gather Sword Intent again, the black-and-white flowing light on the sword blade only flickered weakly.

Gritting his teeth, he held his sword horizontally to block, striking the flat of the Black Scales Sword's blade with a palm.

The Black Scales Sword's blade trembled, from which a sword light violently surged forth.

The sword light rose before Chen Huaian, like a crescent moon ascending. Beneath the crescent moon, the entire sea level abruptly sank. The black wind encountering the sword light melted away like butter meeting raging flames.

Although this sword light cleaved the wind dragon into two segments, the wind dragon, controlled by Wu E, continuously gathered the power of heaven and earth, unending.

Boom——!

Chen Huaain was shaken back repeatedly by the wind dragon's impact force, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth. His knees heavily struck the reef on the seabed, instantly shattering the reef.

Just as the wind dragon was about to engulf Chen Huaian, a pitch-black gale suddenly swept in from the side, forcibly intercepting the wind dragon in mid-air.

"Boom——!" The black wind column nurturing Taotie suddenly exploded. Dark purple scale armor flashed within the gale. A massive figure slowly stood firm—Taotie had finally been reborn.

Its body was a full ten zhang tall. Dark purple scale armor was engraved with twisted "Devour" character runes. Four curved horns gleamed with cold light. A pair of crimson-gold eyes stared fixedly at Wu E. The baleful energy around its body spread out like a tangible substance, actually causing the surrounding black wind to cease flowing.

It took one step forward to stand before Chen Huaian. Raising a giant claw, it grabbed that wind dragon in its hand. With a gentle squeeze, the wind dragon transformed into a sky full of wind fragments and dissipated.

Muscle Tyrant slowly raised its head, its crimson-gold eyes filled with icy killing intent.

A low, deep voice, as if coming from the abyss, shook heaven and earth slightly:

"You bastard son of a bitch, dare to move again and see what happens?"
