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

Chapter 812: Destruction Before Rebirth

"Anyway, Dragon Soul Inheritor, while I cannot guarantee that none of the deities in the Immortal Realm are good, I can assure you that most of them are the claws and teeth of the Celestial God Clan."The Vermilion Bird's gaze was icy, her tone carrying a murderous intent. "They will all be your enemies in the future. When you encounter them, you will understand why I say this."

"Alright... time's up."

As her words fell, the Vermilion Bird's figure gradually vanished within the blazing flames.

The Phoenix also faded away alongside the Vermilion Bird.

"Although our Divine Souls are not completely extinguished, we cannot communicate with you indefinitely. The remaining power we possess must be used, together with the other Auspicious Beasts, to strengthen your Divine Soul and dantian. In the future, even if you appear to be alone and surrounded by enemies with no aid in sight, do not give up. For we are always with you, sharing in both glory and ruin!"

The Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird disappeared completely.

Chen Huaian saw them within his dantian, motionless, positioned on either side of the Azure Dragon.

The Azure Dragon's originally calm and composed expression had long vanished, ultimately frozen in a look of awkwardness and sweat beading his forehead. It was clear this brother was in for a world of suffering.

"Speaking of which, what did the Vermilion Bird bestow upon This Venerable One?"

Chen Huaian scratched his head, then focused his mind.

*Whoosh—!*

A bizarre flame, with pale and pitch-black colors interweaving into lines, materialized on his fingertip, flickering slightly.

Could this be the Primordial Fire representing the Rule of "Fire," the gift the Vermilion Bird gave him?

And it required the Phoenix's participation too...

Thinking about it this way, it felt like the Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird deliberately fought, just to temper him, to ensure that even if he couldn't comprehend the Rule of Fire, he would at least simultaneously master both the Phoenix Divine Fire and the Samadhi True Fire.

However, Chen Huaian no longer intended to delve deeper into the exact reasons behind it.

He withdrew from his internal observation state and opened his eyes.

The upper level of the Demon Sealing Pagoda was scorched black from being burned by the Samadhi True Fire. Without the Vermilion Bird, the place immediately became much lonelier, and that ancient Fierce Beast, Zhu Huai, had also disappeared.

Zhu Huai was the final key to the ninth Well of Heaven.

It was also the last piece of the puzzle to revive Muscle Tyrant.

Zhu Huai could not be allowed to get lost.

This thought had just arisen when a violent tremor came from the lower level of the Demon Sealing Pagoda, followed immediately by a miserable beastly roar.

The sound resembled the dying cry of a wild goose. Needless to say, it was Zhu Huai.

Chen Huaian's heart tightened.

Could it be that Chen Niu's avatar, in the midst of battling Lin Fan and Zhang Mengchu, could still find time to compete with him for the Demonic Soul of the Fierce Beast?

He quickly plunged into the Well of Heaven and arrived at the lower level of the Demon Sealing Pagoda, his Divine Sense spreading out like a tidal wave, almost instantly enveloping the entire lower level.

Then he saw a figure clad in a Plain White Long Dress stepping on a giant beast. Her eyes were crimson red, a murderous aura swirling around her, and the sword in her hand was suspended right above the beast's head, seemingly about to slash down at any moment.

It was Hua Jin the True One.

And that giant beast was naturally Zhu Huai.

A tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs. After countless reincarnations, Zhu Huai's strength as an ancient Fierce Beast had already plummeted to rock bottom. Power that could once rival that of immortals and deities now only allowed it to be passively beaten by Hua Jin the True One, who was merely at the Half-Step Feathered Transformation Realm. Looking at the dense, numerous wounds covering its body, it was clear it had been getting pummeled for a while.

But why would Hua Jin come running into the Demon Sealing Pagoda at this time?

"Hua Jin! Spare the beast!"

With no time to think further, Chen Huaian hurriedly rushed over in a single stride to block Hua Jin the True One's sword.

"Senior Chen, you're alright?" Hua Jin the True One trembled all over upon hearing Chen Huaian's voice. Seeing Chen Huaian appear in person, her eyes revealed relief and pleasant surprise. "It's good that you're alright. Earlier, I sensed unusual activity within the Demon Sealing Pagoda, suspected to be the generation of a World. I feared you might not be a match, so I..."

She couldn't speak too presumptuously; speaking too presumptuously would make it seem like she was looking down on the senior's cultivation.

Hua Jin changed the subject. "I came in and saw this beast here. I wanted to ask if it knew your whereabouts, so I could lend a hand. But this beast wouldn't say anything. It even claimed it had already eaten you. Although I didn't believe it, I was filled with rage, so I prepared to finish it off with one sword strike."

Zhu Huai, being stepped on by Hua Jin the True One, instinctively glanced at Chen Huaian, its eyes full of grievance and confusion.

The Dragon Soul Inheritor was receiving the Vermilion Bird's offering. It was helping the Dragon Soul Inheritor cover it up, even if it meant being killed, it didn't matter.

But now it seemed the Dragon Soul Inheritor knew the leader of the Kunlun Immortal Palace, and the leader of the Kunlun Immortal Palace even seemed to respect him greatly.

Throughout the cycles of reincarnation, Hua Jin the True One had always been among those standing at the crest of the wave, so she also existed within the fragmented memories of Zhu Huai.

It couldn't help but secretly admire this.

This generation's Dragon Soul Inheritor was truly different.

In the past, they would always fight the Kunlun Immortal Palace and the Great Thunder Temple to the death. But this generation's seemed to want to take over the Kunlun Immortal Palace?

Who knew if it was a blessing or a curse.

"Senior Chen, I see this Fierce Beast is no good creature. Letting it out would only bring calamity. Leaving it in the Demon Sealing Pagoda is like a ticking time bomb, all harm and no benefit. Why not just slaughter it? At the very least, its essence and Demon Core can be used to enhance strength. If you want it, Senior, I'll help you kill it right now!"

After speaking, the killing intent in Hua Jin the True One's gaze towards Zhu Huai grew even stronger.

"This beast is useful to This Venerable One." Chen Huaian quickly smoothed things over. Facing Hua Jin's confused gaze, he braced himself and explained, "This Venerable One just experienced a fierce battle. As you know, the Divine Body Tempering Technique can refine Demonic Creatures. This Venerable One precisely needs to refine this Fierce Beast to heal my injuries! If you kill it, its Demon Core and essence would still be useful, but not as effective as This Venerable One directly refining its entire being."

"So that's how it is." Hua Jin the True One suddenly understood, offering an apologetic smile and cupping her hands in salute. "This junior overstepped, almost ruining Senior's plans. Since Senior is fine, this junior will withdraw from the Demon Sealing Pagoda first. The struggle for the Celestial Jade Marrow outside is still ongoing. This junior cannot afford to miss out on other pieces of premium Celestial Jade Marrow. Also... please, Senior, after refining the Fierce Beast, open the ninth Well of Heaven as soon as possible. This is a heaven-sent opportunity for every living being on Earth Star!"

Hua Jin the True One didn't doubt Chen Huaian's words in the slightest. Before leaving, she even used a Divine Ability to immobilize the already severely injured Zhu Huai in place, making it convenient for Chen Huaian to refine it.

"A heaven-sent opportunity, huh?" Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes.

The Vermilion Bird had said it: with all Wells of Heaven open, deities descend.

The living beings of Earth Star were already living in dire straits. The descent of deities would just pile another mountain on top of them.

But the Wells of Heaven must be opened.

Whether it was the Taotie's plan or the Ancestral Dragon's plan, they all required opening the Wells of Heaven, all needed the deities to descend.

If the Wells of Heaven remained closed, the rules of heaven and earth would continue to restrict the cultivation of all living beings. Then how could they oppose the Celestial God Clan?

Only through destruction could there be rebirth.

Risks naturally existed, and within those risks also lay the only chance to turn the tables.
