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

Chapter 971: Forging the Divine Body

Was this act insane?Was it unbelievable?

But in the face of the tangible authority of a Chief God, reason had long since vanished without a trace!

They sensed the divine power within Poseidon's body, which had already evaporated by half, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

"Your Lordship, the Sea God, is truly righteous! For the stability of the Endless Sea, this deity is willing to lend you a hand!"

A burly, veteran deity loyal to the Golden Dragon King was the first to step forward, his face a mask of righteous indignation, as if he were genuinely helping Poseidon shoulder some burden. "Count this deity in! As a member of the Divine Realm, we should help each other!"

"This deity will join as well!"

Soon, more than ten other deities stepped forward.

Without exception, most of these deities were die-hard loyalists of the Golden Dragon King. They had merely held back earlier due to uncertainty about the situation.

Now that the Sea God was this weakened, what uncertainty remained?

Only a fool would pass up such an opportunity.

As for why they couldn't contact deities like the God of Light, Augustus, who had already entered the sealed chamber, they had even prepared excuses for their own worries—they were all busy digesting Poseidon's divine power and authority, who had time to pay them any mind?

A few others were neutral deities. According to Chen Huaian's suggestion, it was better to deal with them all together to prevent them from siding with the Golden Dragon King and causing trouble when the conflict began.

Poseidon looked at these dozen-plus deities, a moved smile appearing on his pale face as he nodded repeatedly. "Good... good! I, Poseidon, will remember your loyalty. Now, follow me... let's enter the chamber to prepare!"

Only a handful of deities remained in the hall who had not declared their stance, each staring at Poseidon with incredulous eyes.

"Old friend, this is too risky! Splitting your Divine Spark... I fear your future will be... ah!" This was a veteran deity with close personal ties to Poseidon. Seeing Poseidon about to leave with these ill-intentioned deities, he hurried forward to dissuade him.

"Lord Sea God, you must not! If you lose all your authority, what will become of our Sea God Divine System!"

"Your Grace Eve, you are the Sea God's wife, please say something!"

Some subordinate deities loyal to Poseidon's divine system even began to weep.

Looking at these deities, some worried, some loyal to him, Poseidon's eyes were complex. He let out a deep, sorrowful sigh and said no more.

"My mind is made up."

Leaving these words behind, he turned and, with a group of deities in tow, walked with faltering steps toward the sealed chamber.

Within the sealed chamber.

The turmoil of the outside world had nothing to do with Chen Huaian.

Looking at the Divine Sparks scattered all over the floor, tears of genuine emotion welled in the corners of his eyes.

"Good people, all good people."

"This Venerable One will remember your contributions. I will certainly carry your power forward and make it shine brightly!"

The divinity within these Divine Sparks was varied, almost covering all the Laws of the entire Canglan Realm.

Among these Laws, there were always some that shared similarities with the powers of the various auspicious beast seniors.

At this moment, his dantian was bustling with activity.

The primordial spirits of the five auspicious beasts—Dang Kang, Bai Ze, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Chenghuang—all resonated with the Divine Sparks in the outside world.

Chen Huaian couldn't be bothered to identify which Divine Spark resonated with which beast.

In any case... he wanted them all!

"Heavenly Demon Art! Activate!"

Chen Huaian's expression turned solemn. As his words fell, his eyes, which concealed sword radiance, were instantly swallowed by boundless darkness.

*Hum—!*

He spread his arms, holding them up as if supporting the heavens, and fully activated the Heavenly Demon Art.

At this moment, his body seemed to transform into a black hole that devoured all things, or a cauldron capable of refining everything.

A terrifying pulling force transformed into strands of Demonic Energy that swept outwards in all directions.

Any Divine Spark touched by that Demonic Energy would involuntarily fly toward Chen Huaian.

Within these Divine Sparks, remnants of the deities' wills still lingered.

Instinct drove them to desperately try to escape that pulling force. But helplessly, even when they were full deities, they were no match for Chen Huaian. Now, with only a wisp of residual consciousness and a solitary Divine Spark, how could they possibly resist Chen Huaian's power?

They could only be like a group of bound lolis, allowing Chen Huaian to take whatever he pleased.

The devouring began.

The divine power of over a hundred deities.

If an ordinary deity dared to attempt such a thing, the only outcome would be being instantly exploded and utterly annihilated, body and spirit, by the jumbled and chaotic power of these Laws.

But Chen Huaian cultivated the Heavenly Demon Art, and it was the enhanced Heavenly Demon Art after he had become a Golden Immortal!

The first Divine Spark entered his body.

*Boom—!*

The divine power within Chen Huaian's body instantly surged violently, even emitting a roaring sound like that of a great river.

Then came the second, the third...

Different Law-based divinities wildly clashed and tore at each other within his meridians.

Beneath his skin, golden light from the Laws slithered like frenzied spirit snakes. His muscles, tendons, and bones continuously shattered and reformed, emitting a series of low, powerful cracking and popping sounds, as if someone were wielding a divine hammer to forge a divine weapon.

"Ah—!!!"

Chen Huaian let out a long roar, his pale hair whipping wildly.

On the surface of his body, terrifying phenomena abruptly manifested!

On one side, endless light gathered, holy hymns echoed, and phantom images of angels appeared.

On the other side, absolute darkness spread, demon gods roared, and ghostly shadows swarmed.

Lightning flashed in his left eye, flames of light burned in his right, frost condensed around him, and the earth crumbled beneath his feet.

Simultaneously.

Led by Bai Ze, the phantom forms of the five auspicious beasts slowly materialized around him, sharing the burden of the violent divine power from over a hundred Divine Sparks.

Over a hundred completely different Law-based phenomena intertwined, collided, and fused within his body!

Chen Huaian's body swelled and shrank repeatedly at this moment.

With every breath, the fluctuating divine power within him surged to a terrifying new level.

He sat perfectly upright. Though he still wore his white robes, they were now adorned with spreading golden dragon patterns.

At the same time, an aura of pressure that transcended heaven and earth was slowly awakening from within his seemingly frail form.

Devouring these hundred-plus Divine Sparks began as absorbing divine power.

But when the divine power reached a point of overflowing saturation, this power began to forge.

To forge a Divine Body—unprecedented in the past and unlikely to be seen again in the future!

Time passed by the second.

The black hole above Chen Huaian's head slowly vanished.

The swelling and shrinking abruptly ceased.

The mottled light of the Laws on his body's surface, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, all withdrew deep into his flesh and blood.

His originally fair skin now shed all extraordinary phenomena, taking on a warm, jade-like sheen that seemed indestructible.

The golden dragon patterns slithered like living things beneath his skin for a final circuit before firmly imprinting themselves onto his spine.

No excess aura leaked out.

But the surrounding space seemed unable to bear the weight of this body, emitting faint, ice-cracking *crack* sounds.

The Divine Body was complete!

Simultaneously.

The vast, overflowing divine power that could no longer be contained by his flesh and blood poured back out.

Like a breached river, it surged madly into the five auspicious beast phantoms circling around him.
