Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?-Chapter 675: Sword Sound

Chapter 675: Sword Sound

Chen Huaian's in-depth exchange with Li Qingran will be set aside for now.

At the center of the basin, Chen Niu retreated from the grand formation with a dark expression.

He had tried many methods but failed to break the formation—it was completely beyond his understanding.

Although the formation's power wasn't strong enough to kill him, it currently gave him the feeling of a tiger trying to bite the sky with nowhere to start.

Especially... that damned Hua Jin had set up this formation in the basin in advance.

The formation perfectly enveloped the entire area where the Celestial Jade Marrow was erupting.

Despicable! Absolutely despicable!

How had he never noticed before how shameless Hua Jin the True One was?!

Chen Niu stood outside the grand formation, waiting for the second wave of Celestial Jade Marrow to erupt while pondering how to break the situation later.

"If I can't enter the grand formation, then I can only figure out how to get the premium Celestial Jade Marrow outside the formation..."

Chen Niu narrowed his eyes, gradually forming an idea in his mind.

...

Over at Kunlun Immortal Palace, the atmosphere was jubilant.

"Congratulations, Your Eminence, you've finally obtained a piece of premium Celestial Jade Marrow!" Wang Shouyi clasped his hands in salute, genuinely happy for Hua Jin.

With the premium Celestial Jade Marrow, Kunlun Immortal Palace's future development would definitely enter a high-speed state.

With ample resources, high disciple cohesion, and rapid strength improvement.

Meanwhile, Great Thunder Temple, which had obtained nothing and been defeated once, was in a miserable state.

They would definitely be suppressed by Kunlun Immortal Palace in the future, eventually being completely crushed by Kunlun Immortal Palace, making Earth Star dominated solely by Kunlun Immortal Palace.

Hua Jin the True One was also in good spirits, sitting back down on the rock to wait.

"It's too early to celebrate now." She shook her head, though a smile lingered at the corner of her mouth. "There are still three waves of Celestial Jade Marrow remaining. Let's celebrate after we secure the remaining three waves properly."

Wang Shoui nodded repeatedly. "Your Eminence is right, we shouldn't open the champagne at halftime."

Hua Jin the True One gazed at the purple energy beginning to gather again at the basin center, couldn't help but recall the two premium Celestial Jade Marrow pieces snatched by the mysterious girl earlier. While feeling annoyed, she could only secretly lament the loss.

Those two premium Celestial Jade Marrow pieces would have to be recovered later.

However, the other party probably wouldn't attempt a second time after succeeding once.

The first time they managed to snatch food from the tiger's mouth was entirely because they hadn't taken Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivation seriously.

But now, both she and Chen Niu were on guard. Forget Nascent Soul mid-stage—even if a fly approached the basin center now, it would die!

Time passed second by second.

Chen Niu and Hua Jin the True One occasionally exchanged glances, each harboring their own schemes.

Suddenly, the energy of heaven and earth violently erupted.

A deep hum came from deep within the earth veins, and increasingly dense purple-gold aurora gathered above the basin.

Hua Jin the True One narrowed her eyes—the second wave of Celestial Jade Marrow was about to be born! She sat cross-legged, appearing calm, but her mind was highly tense.

The folding fan swayed gently between her fingers, her cold eyes like lightning firmly locked onto Chen Niu outside the formation.

Her thoughts raced—"This demonic monk suffered from the grand formation, hopeless to force entry, will definitely seek other methods... certainly won't give up easily.

He'll either attempt long-distance retrieval, or... try to lure the Celestial Jade Marrow outside the formation range. Must strictly prevent him from manipulating objects across space."

Outside the formation, Chen Niu's anger gradually subsided as he calmed down.

Only the cold aura around him had become more intense than before.

Previously, Buddhist power and demonic power were balanced, but now demonic power clearly dominated.

Even though he still appeared as a Buddha, more demonic features manifested on his body, giving him a bizarre half-Buddha, half-demon form.

He stared intently at the area with the most concentrated purple energy, slowly bringing his hands together before his chest, softly chanting low, obscure Sanskrit mantras.

"Om! Ma! Ni! Padme! Hum—!"

These Sanskrit mantras clashed sharply with the demonic aura emanating from him, yet strangely merged together, forming visible, space-distorting invisible ripples that spread toward the interior of the grand formation like water waves.

"Sanskrit Mantra Space Manipulation? Trying to disrupt space stability and retrieve objects across distances?"

Hua Jin the True One's heart tightened. Her folding fan radiated clear light, immediately deploying a solid blue wave screen before her, while her divine sense focused intensely, ready to intercept any spatial anomalies at any moment.

However, Chen Niu the Monk's Sanskrit chanting was merely a diversion.

Just as the Sanskrit ripples were about to reach the formation's edge—

Chen Niu's joined hands suddenly separated violently.

"Roar—!"

A thunderous beastly roar erupted from deep within his throat.

The violent demonic power around him instantly concentrated on his thick right arm.

Rip—!

The arm covered in purple-black scales bulged with gnarled muscles.

A fissure suddenly split open on the skin surface.

Pfft! An energy entity formed from pure demonic power, dark purple in color, covered with strange suckers, resembling a giant octopus tentacle, shot out violently from the fissure.

This demonic tentacle ignored spatial distance.

Its speed surpassed the limits of divine sense detection.

It didn't directly attack the formation or Hua Jin.

Instead, it precisely and silently bypassed the defensive screen Hua Jin had deployed.

Like a lurking venomous snake.

It plunged fiercely into the basin's core—the earth vein source where the purple-gold light was about to erupt.

Squelch—!

The tentacle tip deeply penetrated the churning purple-gold halo, accurately wrapping around a premium Celestial Jade Marrow that had just broken through the soil, radiating the most intense light.

"Not good!" Hua Jin the True One's expression changed dramatically.

She never expected Chen Niu to possess such a bizarre technique.

Actually capable of transforming his own demonic power into such a solid, powerfully adsorbing energy tentacle.

However, she reacted quickly. Her folding fan transformed into a blue rainbow, slashing toward the demonic tentacle, while Zhang Yibai within the earth veins also activated the formation's power to try to suppress it.

But, they were half a step too late.

Chen Niu the Monk's face revealed a triumphant, ferocious smile.

His right arm muscles bulged again as he violently pulled back. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"For This Venerable One—come out!"

The demonic tentacle erupted with terrifying pulling force.

It tore through spatial constraints, tightly wrapped around that premium Celestial Jade Marrow.

Brutally yanking it out from the light pillar that was about to fully form. Like pulling a radish, it rapidly dragged it toward outside the formation, toward Chen Niu's direction.

Once the premium Celestial Jade Marrow left the formation range.

Then the Burial Sword Array's suppression would become meaningless to Chen Niu.

"Don't even think about it!" Hua Jin the True One shouted angrily.

The blue rainbow sword energy struck the tentacle, only causing purple-black demonic energy to splash everywhere, but failing to immediately sever it. Just as that jade marrow was about to be dragged beyond the formation range—

At this critical moment, a sudden change occurred.

Clang—!

The sound of sword resonance arose.

An extremely subtle, yet sharp enough to make souls tremble sword intent erupted without warning!

This sword intent didn't come from Hua Jin, nor from the earth vein formation.

It seemed to appear out of thin air beneath the dragged premium Celestial Jade Marrow.

Fast! Fierce! Accurate!

Without earth-shattering momentum.

Only a nearly imperceptible silver thread flashed past.
