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

Hua Jin the True One was a Void Shattering realm powerhouse; no one thought she would have trouble dealing with that ape.

Until Hua Jin charged within fifty meters and was struck back by the ape's staff.

"Cough… This monkey demon has incredible strength!"

Hua Jin took a deep breath, feeling her internal organs ache from the impact.

After all, she was a Void Shattering cultivator. Although she took a hit, it wasn't too serious, but it was enough to shock her.

"That monkey is so powerful, even Her Eminence can't subdue it?"

"Sigh, it seems impossible to take the Demon Sealing Pagoda back…"

"Maybe Her Eminence and Master Faming working together could handle this monkey demon?"

Seeing Hua Jin forced to retreat by a monkey, many disciples of the Kunlun Immortal Palace were disillusioned.

After all, in their hearts, Her Eminence was invincible.

Hua Jin gritted her teeth, knowing she had lost face. Gathering her strength, she gripped her sword and charged the ape again.

This time, Hua Jin held out longer. After about one incense stick's time, she was once again sent flying by the ape's staff.

The ape now was a completely different creature from before.

Although its armor was tattered, it radiated a faint golden glow. Within the golden light, dragon scale-like patterns could be vaguely seen.

The staff in its hand seemed to have shed years of rust, revealing an ancient, heavy dark-gold sheen.

There appeared to be some inscriptions carved on the staff, but they were too blurry to make out.

The ape's eyes had changed from murky to sharp and clear, burning with golden-red flames in its pupils.

Its fur stood up like steel needles, and a suffocating terrifying pressure emanated from its entire body.

"Roar—"

The ape howled at the sky, the sound causing many Ascenders with low cultivation to bleed from all seven orifices and stagger backward.

For Hua Jin and the Kunlun Immortal Palace disciples, this roar was no less than a challenge.

"Wretched beast!" Hua Jin gritted her teeth and charged once more, her long sword transforming into countless sword shadows filling the sky.

Dense sword qi blanketed the platform, almost completely covering it.

Even Chen Huaian was shocked by the sword qi.

It was his first time seeing such a fierce sword dao attack on Earth Star.

Each beam of descending sword qi was filled with sharp Void Shattering true essence.

It was clear Hua Jin was not a pure sword cultivator.

But her strength was far better than those weakened Ascenders.

She was probably equivalent to sixty or seventy percent of cultivators at the same realm in the Cangyun Realm.

However, the ape casually swung its staff once, shattering all the sword shadows.

"Boom—!"

A golden staff shadow swept across. Before it could strike Hua Jin, the fierce wind already whipped her robes wildly.

She hurriedly raised her sword to block but was struck by a terrifying force that split the web between her thumb and forefinger, blood dripping.

The ape gave her no breathing room, leaping up and smashing the staff down like Mount Tai crashing down.

Hua Jin flickered her figure, barely dodging.

The ape's staff struck empty air. The entire platform cracked and sank with a thunderous roar, scattering countless rocks in all directions.

These flying stones carried the terrifying shock of two Void Fusion realm powers, tearing through the void and affecting the surroundings.

Seeing this, Hua Jin's expression changed. She instantly flashed over to Wang Shouyi and raised a shield.

After blocking the shockwave and flying stones, she left a magical treasure to protect the Ascenders inside, then leapt upward.

With her right hand forming seals, flying swords hovered behind her, spreading out in a fan shape like a peacock displaying its feathers.

The sword screen instantly divided into thousands, expanding from twelve swords to over a thousand.

Chen Huaian nodded silently upon seeing this.

As a sword dao grandmaster, he immediately recognized that Hua Jin had comprehended his own sword dao.

This move subtly contained the flavor of "The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things."

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"

Hua Jin knew she could no longer hold back and unleashed her divine power with all her might.

Countless flying swords poured down like a violent storm.

Compared to her previous sword qi, these descending flying swords were even more terrifying in momentum.

The sword qi nearly condensed into substance, forming a giant sword curtain hundreds of meters long as it approached the ape.

The ape snorted coldly, spinning its staff rapidly in hand, transforming into a golden shield that shattered the sword qi in the sky.

In the next moment, its figure flickered like a ghost before Hua Jin, sweeping the staff horizontally.

Bang! Hua Jin was caught off guard, the staff striking her waist hard, bones cracking clearly audible.

"Pft—"

Hua Jin spat out a mouthful of blood, her body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, heavily colliding with the stone wall of the Demon Sealing Pagoda, then sliding down to the ground.

She struggled to get up, but found her meridians ruptured and her dantian riddled with cracks, unable to mobilize even true essence.

Thud thud thud—!

The ape calmly walked step by step toward Hua Jin.

Its staff dragged on the ground, emitting harsh scraping sounds, plowing a deep trench wherever it passed.

The Ascenders watching were already terrified and dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Their invincible Her Eminence was being pummeled like a sandbag, shattering their worldview.

The ape's strength far exceeded their imagination.

So even knowing Her Eminence was in danger, no one dared step forward.

Except…

"Her Eminence!"

Wang Shouyi charged out from the crowd, standing between Hua Jin and the ape.

His figure was so small, he looked like a child before the ape.

"Get lost, don't interfere!" Hua Jin coughed blood, her voice weak but resolute.

Wang Shouyi stood firm, arms spread wide like a trivial wall.

His voice was firm like a rock: "A disciple cannot stand idly by while the master suffers."

A complex emotion flashed in Hua Jin's eyes—not just master and disciple affection, but an indescribable deep feeling.

"You fool…" she murmured softly, tears glistening at the corner of her eyes, her voice nearly drowned by the wind, "I'm already no match for it at the Void Shattering realm. If you stay, you'll only become another corpse!"

Wang Shouyi looked back, a bitter smile appearing at his lips: "Master is still here, and I've never been a coward who abandons those close to escape alone."

At that moment, the hidden feelings beneath their titles silently flowed between their eyes.

Hua Jin recalled when they first met, Shouyi was just a naive boy.

Now, he had grown into a man capable of blocking a knife for her.

"You…" Hua Jin wanted to speak but was interrupted by a thunderous crash.

Thud!

The ape's staff slammed heavily onto the ground, dust flying and stones shattering.

A trace of disdain flashed in its golden eyes, a faint indifference curling at the corner of its mouth.

The golden staff slowly lifted, its body gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"Little YiYi, listen to me. I do not regret meeting you, nor do I regret… taking that pill." Hua Jin's voice was very light, only Wang Shouyi could hear.

"I—I know," Wang Shouyi did not turn back, his gaze fixed on the ape, full of determination, "I also…"

The golden flames in the ape's eyes surged violently, its demonic aura flooding like a tide.

Its arms suddenly exerted great force.

The staff sliced through the air with a shrill whistle, like the wailing of a vengeful ghost from the Ninth Netherworld.

The air twisted and distorted under the staff's shadow, as if time itself was shattered by the strike, forming an inescapable, suffocating chasm.

"Boom—!"

The staff shadow pressed down like a mountain.

Wang Shouyi resolutely closed his eyes, instinctively embracing Hua Jin, trying to shield her with his own flesh and blood from the deadly strike.

However, the staff never fully landed.

Wang Shouyi felt their bodies move slightly backward.

At the same time, a tall figure stood before them, single-handedly holding up the ape's crashing staff.

"Se—Senior?"

Wang Shouyi and Hua Jin the True One both widened their eyes in surprise.

"Fifty meters." Chen Huaian looked up and locked eyes with the ape.

Just as he had suspected.

The warning line forged from countless Ascender corpses and flesh was the ape's Dao.

Inside the Dao, the Dao is one foot higher, and the demon is one foot stronger.

Outside the Dao, the demon is a hundred feet stronger but is falsehood.

Now, both the ape and he were late Golden Core stage.

But he was not an Ascender!
