Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?-Chapter 681: Lin Fan vs. Chen Niu

Chapter 681: Lin Fan vs. Chen Niu

…

The silver-white sphere of destruction, formed from the roiling sword radiance, gradually dissipated, revealing at the basin’s center a massive crater as if a terrible beast had gnawed it out.

The crater walls were smooth as mirrors, bearing the hideous scars of melting heat and sword-qi slicing.

The air reeked of burnt flesh and a strong metallic blood scent.

Even though the explosion had ended, the wild eddies of sword qi still hissed and howled.

At the rim of the crater.

Zhang Yibai’s face was ashen; his protective luminous barrier flickered violently and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Lin Fan’s Explosive Sword power was too strong.

He himself was only at the peak of Unity. In such haste, taking that blow was really taxing—he had barely reduced the blast’s damage to the limit, relying entirely on his experience as a Great Ascension stage cultivator.

It also had something to do with him being a sword cultivator.

Lin Fan’s Explosive Sword wasn’t like simply pouring True Essence into a flying sword and throwing it.

That’s the most basic usage—low-level and wasteful.

Lin Fan infused the Pure Yang Sword Intent, transformed into the Red Sun Sword Intent, into the flying swords.

Red Sun Sword Intent is born from Pure Yang Sword Intent; it is a frenzied sword intent that pursues absolute destruction.

Its sword-qi signature is tearing and explosion.

When Lin Fan forcibly compressed sword intent into the flying swords, then detonated that compressed intent, it produced the terrifying might of the Explosive Sword Style.

Don’t assume this is easy.

Ordinary cultivators could only infuse True Essence into a sword.

Who could compress Sword Intent within that infusion?

It only showed Lin Fan had nearly mastered the Dao of Red Sun Sword Intent.

He was the father of Red Sun Sword Dao!

“Her Eminence, how are you?” Wang Shouyi rushed forward to check Hua Jin the True One.

Seeing Hua Jin’s robes slashed to tatters by sword qi, her fair face ashen, and her body still trembling, his heart ached.

Now the Kunlun Immortal Palace’s Leader stared blankly at the blindfolded figure suspended before the torrent of ten thousand swords in the crater’s center, eyes filled with unprecedented shock and lingering fear.

If not for Senior Zhang’s desperate protection, she would have been reduced to ashes.

Although both were Void Shattering… she was at the Void Shattering peak, stronger in realm than that blindfolded sword cultivator, yet the gap in actual power was so vast.

Are all those “variables” that strong?

Where exactly do they come from?

Countless questions floated through Hua Jin the True One’s mind.

She felt confused and lost, while also crushed and ashamed.

“I—I’m fine…” Hua Jin the True One sat down with Wang Shouyi’s support; her legs were like water.

For now there was no point arguing over premium Celestial Jade Marrow—only to wait and see.

In the past, even at the risk of her life, Hua Jin would have fought tooth and nail.

But now she had Little YiYi.

She still wanted to have enough children for a football team with Little YiYi.

…

At the crater’s center, at the heart of that storm of destruction—

“Roar—!!!”

A thunderous roar erupted, full of pain and boundless fury.

Like a death knell from the ninefold abyss, it slammed out!

With the roar came a hideous demonic qi, ten times denser than before, viscous as ink—like a volcano repressed for ten thousand years, it violently erupted.

Sss!

The burly humanoid form of Chen Niu the Monk writhed and bulged violently inside that viscous purple-black demonic qi.

The robe covering his body instantly turned to ash.

Skin tore apart as scales proliferated wildly.

His skull suddenly stretched and deformed into a massive bovine head covered in purple-black keratin.

Its horns curved like blades, flashing a metallic chill.

His lower body rapidly expanded and elongated into a massive draconic tail covered with purple-black scales.

That tail was thick and powerful; even its unconscious tremor pulverized the remaining boulders into dust.

Bull head! Dragon body!

Chen Niu stopped playing tricks.

His true form had been forced out by Lin Fan’s Explosive Sword.

And that true form signified his strongest combat power.

Boom—!

A terrifying pressure, like a tsunami, surged and swept across the entire basin.

Although most of the Ascenders had fled far, a few audacious ones had returned with hope in their hearts; now, under that pressure, they were horribly unlucky—some were crushed without a sound before they could scream, their bodies shattered instantly.

“Ants… You! Seek! Death!” The enormous bovine head turned toward Lin Fan.

Blood-red vertical pupils burned with fury that seemed able to consume everything.

Chen Niu’s voice rolled like thunder across the earth, making the space vibrate.

His massive hoof lifted and slammed down again with brutal force!

“Prison Suppression!”

Hum—!

Centered on the point where Chen Niu’s hoof struck, a visible purple-black gravity ripple bearing twisted Buddhist script radiated outward in an instant.

The space at the basin’s center seemed to solidify, becoming a thousand times heavier.

The air thickened like a quagmire; the ground groaned under the strain and began to collapse inward.

Distant rocks quietly crumbled to powder.

This was a domain that fused Buddhist suppression secret arts with the Demon Immortal’s innate divine ability—the Prison Suppression.

Suppression from the underworld; it was Chen Niu’s life-faith technique.

“Gravity domain.” Hua Jin the True One bit her lip and murmured, “Chen Niu can manipulate gravity. Within his domain, the closer you are to him, the stronger gravity becomes—strong enough to instantly crush a person. Senior Zhang, Senior Gu, we should keep our distance so Chen Niu’s domain won’t affect us.”

Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng’s mouths both twitched slightly when they heard this.

Chen Huaian couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

Oh~

A gravity domain?

How impressive~

If not for the Cangyun Realm’s Void Shattering being unable to freely alter the heaven-and-earth rules on the Earth Star,

they could drag a small world to Earth Star and give Hua Jin and Chen Niu a show.

This was probably the only place in the Earth Star where Cangyun’s powers couldn’t fully manifest.

Still, they heeded Hua Jin the True One’s suggestion and led the main force to retreat.

That also allowed Lin Fan to act freely.

Lin Fan, standing at the domain’s center, felt his body drop heavily—as if countless mountains pressed down on him. Even the torrent of ten thousand swords floating behind him emitted a piercing metallic groan; the sword tips drooped, and movement became sluggish.

But that was all.

To Lin Fan, this was hardly an inconvenience.

“Heh heh… flashy!” Lin Fan’s eyes beneath his cloth were icy and undimmed.

He did not retreat; instead he stepped forward into that terrifying gravity domain.

His right hand spread its fingers and reached suddenly toward the sea of swords behind him.

“Hundred Swords! Come—!”

Hum—!

Over a hundred jet-black long swords instantly detached from the sword torrent.

The star-runic inscriptions on their blades did not flare to full brilliance; instead they vibrated at a strange high frequency.

They did not explode. Like darting fish they circled Lin Fan, forming a high-speed rotating silver storm made of pure destructive sword qi.

Ssssss—!!!

The silver sword-qi storm collided, cut through, and annihilated the purple-black gravity domain in a frenzy.

The mud-like viscous space was torn open by violent sword qi, one rift after another.

The screeching friction sounded like billions of steel needles scraping glass.

The gravity domain convulsed violently, and that high-speed cutting sword-blade storm was temporarily able to force it back and rip open a fleeting passage!
