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

Chapter 900: North-South Green Bean Haimi

…Starry Sky Great Forest, Core Zone.

Smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and blood flowed so profusely it could float pestles.

Huff… Huff…

Bixixi leaned on her scepter, her chest heaving violently.

Her once magnificent papal robes were already dyed red with blood,

whether it belonged to the World Beasts or her own, it was impossible to tell.

Beneath her feet, the Purple-Gold Flame Bear’s chest was sunken with two gaping holes, lying on the ground emitting deafening, labored breaths that sounded like its last gasps.

The Jadewater Jiao’s tail had been severed by a sharp weapon, its massive body riddled with countless wounds. The blood flowing out had pooled into bloody pits on the ground. It lay next to the Purple-Gold Flame Bear, already fallen into a deep coma.

One person, fighting two Core Zone hundred-thousand-year World Beasts.

Victorious.

But at a grievous cost.

Of the thirty Red-robed Deacons she brought, less than five could still stand now. Even those few Peak Battle Masters were all injured, their spirits wilted.

And she too had no strength left to fight.

If another hundred-thousand-year World Beast appeared at this moment, she would have no choice but to retreat temporarily.

"Clear the battlefield…"

Bixixi had just opened her mouth when her voice suddenly caught in her throat.

Because from deep within the forest, that continuous roar of beasts… had stopped.

It wasn't the kind of quiet that gradually settled,

but rather, as if someone had suddenly choked their necks off, plunging everything into dead silence.

Even the wind had stopped, the air seeming to solidify into cement, pressing down and making it hard to breathe.

*Thump.*

The earth pulsed once.

*Thump.*

Another pulse.

This time, the rubble near Bixixi's feet was jolted half a meter into the air.

An indescribable ancientness and desolation, mixed with a supreme draconic majesty, swept forward from the deepest part of the forest like a tsunami.

Those few Peak Battle Masters who had just survived, before they could even rejoice, felt their knees go weak under this pressure and directly knelt down!

It was absolute suppression from the very source of their bloodlines.

"This… what is this…"

Bixixi's face turned deathly pale as she laboriously raised her head.

At the edge of her vision, the ancient trees that blotted out the sky were parting.

No, they were being flattened.

A beast of despairingly colossal size slowly emerged from the shadows.

It stood over a hundred zhang tall, its entire body covered in thick, bronze-colored scales. A row of sharp, sword-and-halberd-like bone spikes grew along its spine, resembling an ancient spinosaurus. Its pair of stubby forelimbs, though seemingly comical, shimmered with a cold light capable of tearing through the void.

Most bizarrely, atop that broad, ferocious head, there grew a pair of small… cat ears.

"This… this is…"

The Medicine Battle Master's eyes widened in horror.

In his search for suitable medicinal herbs, he often traveled far and wide, so he had heard many legends. Among them was a rumor that within the Starry Sky Great Forest dwelled a true king, a million-year World Beast with a bizarre appearance.

And that World Beast's name was—North-South Green Bean Haimi!

It was said to be a direct descendant of the Golden Dragon King, the true god of this forest.

With every step it took, fine cracks appeared in the surrounding space. Its pair of turbid, yellowish vertical pupils swept indifferently over the scene, like an elephant looking at ants beneath its feet.

"Roar…"

It let out a low growl.

There was no earth-shattering sound wave, but Bixixi felt as if her brain had been struck hard by a sledgehammer, blood trickling from all seven orifices.

"My… treasure…"

The million-year North-South Green Bean Haimi spoke in human tongue, its voice like a great bell.

It ignored everyone. Its massive body, seemingly clumsy, was in fact as fast as lightning, appearing almost instantaneously in front of Bixixi.

It believed the treasure had been stolen by the humans present.

And Bixixi was the strongest among them.

So, as long as it defeated Bixixi, it might find out where the treasure went.

"Get away!"

Facing the charging million-year World Beast, Bixixi was scared out of her wits, screaming in alarm.

The next second, the Fallen Angel Phantom behind her ignited with black flames, its nine World Rings exploding simultaneously—this was her desperate, all-out strike.

However.

Haimi merely casually swung one of its stubby forelimbs.

*Smack.*

As if swatting a mosquito.

The Fallen Angel Phantom instantly shattered, the black flames extinguished.

*Boom—!*

Bixixi's entire body shot backward like a cannonball,

smashing violently into a mountain several thousand meters away, her fate unknown.

"Your Holiness!!"

The remaining few Battle Masters screamed in despair.

Haimi didn't even glance at them. It lowered its head, its huge nostrils twitching, frantically sniffing around the spot where Chen Huaian had refined the pill earlier.

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

The "treasure" it had seen, its hope of breaking through the bottleneck, were all… fake.

"ROAR————!!!"

The fury of being deceived instantly ignited the rationality of this million-year Fierce Beast.

It roared towards the heavens, the bone spikes on its back glowing with a piercing cyan light.

*Boom!*

A cyan energy ripple erupted with it as the center.

The forest within a radius of ten li was instantly reduced to dust.

It was also at the moment this energy erupted that, in a corner, the formation that had been hidden all along shattered like a bubble.

Revealing the white-clothed man inside with a composed expression, and Li Qingran beside him, her face filled with panic.

"There!!!"

Haimi's vertical pupils instantly locked onto Li Qingran.

Even through the formation, it had smelled it,

the most concentrated, most alluring residual medicinal fragrance was right beside this human girl!

"Eating you… will let me break through…"

Haimi went mad.

Its massive body leaped violently, blotting out the sky.

A gigantic shadow instantly enveloped Li Qingran. That maw large enough to swallow a small hill, carrying a foul, bloody wind and destruction, chomped down thunderously towards that tiny girl.

"Qingran!!"

From the distant ruins, Bixixi, covered in blood, had just crawled out when she saw this scene that chilled her to the bone.

That was the future of her Battle Soul Hall!

That was her hope of ruling the continent!

It's over.

Everything is over.

Under the world-destroying, heaven-shattering might of a million-year beast, there would be no miracles.

Li Qingran stood frozen in place, unable to even perform the motion of drawing her sword.

She could only watch helplessly as that black hole-like maw descended, as the shadow of death devoured her vision.

However.

Just as the foul wind was about to touch Li Qingran's hair.

*Swish.*

A white figure, without any warning, interjected.

He placed himself between that mountain-like descending beast and her.

He wore white robes, his figure as thin as a piece of paper. Before that hundred-zhang-tall Haimi, he was so insignificant he couldn't even be considered a speck of dust.

But this speck of dust.

Slowly raised his right hand.

Not to grip a sword.

But to spread his five fingers, palm facing upward, making a gesture of "holding up."

The scene froze at this moment.

Time seemed stretched out countless times.

Everyone clearly saw that pale, slender, even somewhat scholarly-looking hand gently press against Haimi's jaw covered in hard scales.

"Too noisy."

Chen Huaian's brows slightly furrowed, his tone somewhat impatient.

"Scram."

The moment his words fell.

His palm moved slightly.

*Boom————!!!*

A sound that wasn't heavy, but was extremely crisp, extremely clear, exploded between heaven and earth.

It was the sound of space shattering.

At the point where Chen Huaian's palm made contact,

space cracked inch by inch like a mirror, revealing chaotic black void currents.

Immediately after.

That unrivaled million-year World Beast—Haimi—that could swat away the Pope with a single slap.

Its mountain-like massive body was actually bent into a bow shape in an instant!

It didn't even have time to let out a single scream.

*Boom!!!*

The gigantic body, like a kicked soccer ball, shot backward at ten times the speed it had arrived!

Sonic booms exploded in circles behind it.

It smashed through the air, smashed through the forest, smashed through the distant mountain range, plowing a terrifying chasm tens of li long, finally transforming into a shooting star that vanished at the edge of the horizon.

Only before Chen Huaian,

a few slowly drifting cyan scales proved the existence of that monster just moments ago.

Chen Huaan withdrew his hand,

gazing at the canyon plowed out by the million-year World Beast's tumble, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"I can feel it."

He murmured to himself, the corner of his mouth curling into a ferocious grin that sent chills down Bixixi's spine:

"The feeling of lifting the next layer of 'seal'!"

…

A mysterious mental state.
