Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 834: Azure Lotus Sword Domain
Previously on Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?...
Chen Huaian floated under the thunderclouds, the heavy presence of a Great Ascension Stage expert radiating freely all around.
Subtle waves rippled across the nearby space, as though the very sky and ground were compelled to yield before him.
Observing the reckless taunt from Spirit Void Old Ghost, a icy spark ignited in his gaze as his hands swiftly shaped a seal. "Swords, come!"
A deep command triggered a explosive burst in the air nearby. Far back in the Moon Shadow Sect's mountain, within the Sword Tomb, countless dormant spirit swords stirred to life, their edges vibrating as they shattered the soil, turning into beams of radiance that gathered together.
Longswords, heavy swords, short swords, flexible swords... every type of spirit sword swirled and spun in front of Chen Huaian, creating a brilliant ocean of blades. Their piercing Sword Qi pierced upward into the skies, even ripping a small crack in the swirling dark purple thunderclouds above.
With swords forming the base, with spirit leading the way.
Chen Huaian murmured inwardly, his eyes gleaming. "Condense—!"
Boom—!
Chen Huaian's fingers shaped a seal, the True Essence encircling his form surging like a thundering torrent, flooding into the ocean of swords.
The myriad spirit swords quivered together at once, subtle cyan lotus designs emerging on their edges. They morphed into rays of cyan glow bursting outward, setting up a vast sword array around the Moon Shadow Sect's rear mountain, fully encasing the whole sect.
Over the sword array, innumerable phantom blue lotuses drifted and unfurled.
Every petal consisted of hardened Sword Qi, releasing a keen, unbound Sword Intent.
As soon as the Great Formation took shape, the earth trembled fiercely. From the sword array's center, intersecting sword scars etched across the terrain for a hundred miles. Spiritual Energy got methodically arranged into neat swirls, gradually spinning around the sword array.
When a Great Ascension cultivator acts, its power is undeniable.
Particularly because Chen Huaian was a Great Ascension cultivator who had merged with the Dao?
Yet under the thunderclouds, the once wild and disordered energy zone was now firmly quelled by this Blue Lotus Sword Domain. Still, the Heavenly Dao's crushing force from the thunderclouds' core pressed down like a colossal peak, leaving everything breathless.
Inside the sword formation, the terrifying sensation faded away.
Only Spirit Void Old Ghost, beyond the sword formation, stayed exposed in the raging tempest.
By the time Chen Huaian touched down, small drops of perspiration dotted his forehead.
Sustaining a sword formation of such magnitude, though not draining for him, demanded his full attention.
He glanced skyward, his pupils shrinking abruptly.
The dark purple thunderclouds had coalesced into a gigantic phantom thunder creature.
Its head was savage, teeth exposed.
A pair of enormous golden eyes, forged from sheer lightning, locked onto Spirit Void Old Ghost down below. The lightning wrapping its form was no longer arm-thick, but had become bucket-wide thunder columns, snapping and crackling. Each clash rent the atmosphere, unleashing ear-shattering blasts.
Even worse, a subtle golden Radiant Glow enveloped the phantom thunder creature's body. That signified Heavenly Dao authority, targeted against yin-evil ghost cultivators such as Spirit Void Old Ghost. Merely its pressure caused Chen Huaian's spirit to plummet.
The Heavenly Tribulation that almost claimed Tu Shan Yue previously appeared less fearsome than this one.
What grave wrong had Spirit Void Old Ghost done?
Earlier, that golden Thunder Eye had merely shown a large orb.
Now, splendid, a form blending dragon and tiger had appeared.
"Electronic Girlfriend customer service, deduce the heavenly secrets. Can this Venerable One's Great Formation shield the Moon Shadow Sect?"
Chen Huaian called out desperately in his thoughts.
The thunder beast charging through the thunderclouds halted for a split second. Its thunder eyes flicked toward Chen Huaian, then its lids quivered faintly as it averted its gaze, as if it couldn't stand to look.
[Deducing Heavenly Secrets...]
[This is your first deduction today. This deduction is free.]
[Blue Lotus Sword Domain Great Formation defense strength: 98. Spirit Void Old Ghost's Heavenly Tribulation power assessment: 197 (includes Heavenly Dao counter bonus). Probability of barrier damage: 50%. Probability of damage to Moon Shadow Sect's core structures: 52%... Comprehensive judgment: Probability of protecting Moon Shadow Sect is less than 50%!]
"Holy crap!" Chen Huaian's expression paled immediately. He struck the nearby tree trunk, reducing the whole massive tree to powder instantly. "This crummy formation only has fifty percent?"
What's the real gap between fifty percent and nothing?
The instant he spoke, three cash-grab choices abruptly appeared in his mind.
They caused his eyelids to spasm:
[Detected that the player desperately wants to safeguard the Mountain Gate. The following support packages are now unlocked!]
[Option 1: Spend 10,000 top-grade spirit jade to boost the Blue Lotus Sword Domain's defense by 30% temporarily, lasting through the Heavenly Tribulation.]
[Option 2: Spend 1,000 Premium Spirit Jade to call forth an illusory "Sword God" to absorb 99 lethal Heavenly Tribulation strikes.]
[Option 3: Spend 9,998 Premium Spirit Jade to slash the Heavenly Tribulation's power by 150% outright.]
Chen Huaian: "..."
Pay-to-win is acceptable.
But these three choices truly tempt him to vent.
What exactly is an illusory "Sword God"? Invoking a sword immortal from above?
And what's this about "weaken the Heavenly Tribulation by 150%"?
Does it imply this weakening was possible from the start, yet it forced him to fork over cash?!
This Electronic Girlfriend System truly conspires with the Heavenly Dao!
Chen Huaian checked his leftover supplies, his lips jerking sharply—he possessed sufficient top-grade spirit jade in his Storage Pouch, yet fewer than fifty Premium Spirit Jade pieces.
The latter two choices were mere teases.
"Alright, you got me!" He ground his teeth, barely forcing the words through. "Select the first option!"
[Deducted 10,000 top-grade spirit jade. Blue Lotus Sword Domain enhancement complete! Current defense strength: 127!]
[Electronic Girlfriend Game warm reminder: Moderate pay-to-win brings joy, excessive pay-to-win hurts health. Enjoy your game!]
Chen Huaian: "Get lost—!"
Before his outburst fully echoed, a dense golden radiance flickered over the Blue Lotus Sword Domain's shield.
The drifting blue lotus phantoms solidified further, and the Sword Qi sharpened even more.
At the same time, the phantom thunder beast overhead appeared furious at this abrupt shift. It unleashed a heaven-shaking bellow. The enormous thunder columns at last escaped the clouds' hold and, with apocalyptic force, plunged toward Spirit Void Old Ghost and the Blue Lotus Sword Domain.
Chen Huaian balled his fists, his stare glued to that thunder column.
The True Essence surrounding him already whirled at maximum, prepared to intervene should the Great Formation falter and offer support.
This accursed Spirit Void Old Ghost!
Should he wreck this Venerable One's Mountain Gate this day, even if he survives the tribulation, this Venerable One will flay him raw!
As the initial thunder column descended, it felt like only blinding white glare and thunderous booms filled the world.
That bucket-thick purple thunder, cloaked in golden Heavenly Dao might, resembled an enraged serpent.
In its descent, it divided into two branches.
One targeted Spirit Void Old Ghost, the other hammered savagely into the Blue Lotus Sword Domain's shield.
Distributing the assault fairly.
"Clang!" A ear-piercing metallic clash that could rupture eardrums detonated. The blue lotus phantoms on the shield faded by over half right away.
Innumerable sword traces sprawled over the golden barrier, tiny fissures crawling like a web.
Chen Huaian coughed up a surge of Vital Essence, shoved back three paces by the recoil. He clamped his jaw tight to keep the Great Formation from crumbling.
